broken promises. pray when did

Now on the third Of November,
next, where is our proper place--in
the ranks of the victors where we can
help to shape the destinies Of a great
nation, or shall we with pitiful
minority sulk along belinda defeated
Democracy--a sort Of rear end

CUT EN- IN TWO.
Stock Yards Charges at Kansas City
Are Too High.

The stock men OF Dickinson county
are growing very weary Of paying the
extravagant charges for handling and
feeding stock at the yards at Kansas
City. The large number Of cattle
and sheep to be fed in this vicinity
this winter makes it Of much import
ance that a change be made and the
next session Of the legislature owes
it to the people Of Kansas to say that
there shall be change. While the
"plutocrats' in the East may need
Jerking up a little there is going on
right under the eyes Of the people Of
Kansas an exhibition Of greed that is
levying a tribute on every man who
ships head Of stock from his farm.
If the prices charged were cut in two
they would still be higher than they
should he and 1t is time that the
farmers and shippers Of Kansas took
concerted action in that direction.

Shakespeare a Republican

A merry company gathered at the
home of |. s. Hallam Thursday,at the
Shakespeare social Of the Presbyter-
ians. The ten questions propounded
were best answered by DIR. Hewett
and strangely enough his selection of
quotations made out the great poet a
staunch believer in Republicanism for
in speech the other day Mr.. Bryan
said the poets were on his side. The
gentlemen had hat-trimming match
which showed their taste and skill
Mrs. Hewett, J. A. Young and Mr..

would cause panic and contract the
currency, tracing the coinage laws OF
the nation to show the effect OF such
change as Bryan proposes. Ryan
talked IS minutes, making an old
fashioned Greenback speech, not
touching the issues Of the day except
in deriding bond issues. Calderhead
had 80 minutes to close and showed
how the Pops and Democrats had beer
issuing bonds because they did not
know how to run a government anc
how the Republicans had paid off in
debtedness. 1t was a complete anc
mastery argument and made Mr.
Calderhead friends and votes. Ryal

Want a Political School.

Manchester News; A prominent
politician has suggested an idea that
should be carried out and participated
in by voters Of both political parties
as it would be OF benefit to all. The
scheme is to draw diagram OF the
official ballot on a blackboard and a
night or two before the election have
a meeting in the hall for the purpose
Of instructing those unfamiliar with
the Australian ballot system. We
understand that one of the county
committees at least is in favor OF the
suggestion and will see that is carried
out.

v1cKERs DON'T DENY.
Will Stay Only as Long as the Ses-
sion Lasts.

The News this week admits that
the REFLECTOR was correct in saying
that vickers, Pop candidate for repre-
sentative, will leave for Oklahoma by
March 1st. 1t says:
To the charge that Mr.. Vickers VIII
move to Oklahoma, he says II elected
he will serve his constituents to the
end; no matter il the session lasts for
ten years he will be found at his post.
This frank admission that he is
done with Dickinson and will shake
the dust of the county from his feet
as soon as the session ends, If elected,
is about the most humiliating confess
sion candidate can make. Mr..
Vickers owes it to his manhood and
honor to insist that his name be taken
off the ticket. He has no moral right
to ask the people of this county to
support him.

no CLUE TO ROBBERS.
Manchester Burglars Have Got Away
With Booty.

The Manchester News says that no
trace has been found Of the robbers
who blew up the postofice safe last
week. Postoffice Inspector W. E.
Cochran, of Hutchinson, arrived Sat-
urday morning and made an invests
cation. He gave it out as his opinion
that the robbery was the work Of
gang Of professional postofice thieves,
as they were shrewd enough not to
take anything that would authorize
the government in offering reward
for their capture or give a detective
. clew to work on. The in.
spector also said that in his opinion
none of the blacksmith's tools found
in the room we're used in operating on
the safe, but were left there to throw
suspicion on amateurs and give the
professionals time to make good their
escape. The News says that while
Inspector Cochran's theory sounds
very reasonable, there are citizens
who believe that the robbery was
committed by local talent. One
theory is that Thursday being Santa
Fe pay day and also creamery check
day it was supposed that Mr.. Waters
would have considerable money on
hand with which to cash checks the
following day This strangers would
not know. The loss is $50 postotiice
money, $3.50 cash belonging to Jas.
and Ed. Glenn, notes and accounts Of
several hundred dollars. A lot Of
-four piled against the safe door to
deaden the sound Of dynamite ex-
plosion was ruined.

reason for any man supporting him
for that office. R. }. Bennett owns
property here, enjoys the confidence
and respect Of all who know him. is
much better qualified to fill the Office

will represent the people Of this
county much better than his opponent
could possibly do. Vote for Bennett
