Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1897-03-11

IT IS really too bad that the White
water Independent should wait until
after the election to shed light on a
campaign issue which was never
quite clear to many voters. It says:
Certain parties wish to know the
difference between the SOC dollar and
the 200c dollar, and where the 1OOc
dollars come in. All We know about
it is, that by the time you have earned
a dollar it seems like 200c dollar or
more When you've got tiff ever
you do get hold of it-and have it in
plain sight, it is just an ordinary sill
yer 100c dollar. But when you go to
spend it for what you need or what
you want, it is like soc dollar. The
term ''6fty-cent dollar" was invented
by demagogues who claim to be repub.
licaps, but sold themselves and tried
to sell the integrity of their party to
the accumulated money power of the
world. -Topeka Capital.

Rocky Ford as Seen by a
Trinidad Editor.

On last Saturday it was our
good fortune to visit Rocky Ford,
and to have a pleasant visit Editor
D. W. Barkley, Of the Enterprise,
an old Illinois friend.
As we rode into town on the
Srnta Fe train we observed the
new creamery building that L. w.
Babcock is erecting. 1t is made
of brick, large and commodious.
The citizens at the Ford are en-
thusiastic over the coming of the
creamery, and are aiding on the
enterprise in every way possible.
AS we drove over the city we
noticed five new large store rooms
under course of erection and fifteen
or twenty residences IN different
stages Of construction. More sub
stantial building is going on in
this village than any place we
know of in the state.
Mr.. Barkley kindly drove US
to Hon. j. III. Crowley's orchard,
which is one of the largest and
finest IN the state. Frank Crowley
was ut home and kindly took US
AROUND oYec S6esayeEty-three acres
OF orchard. The principal part of

This week and next will be
another one Of those money saving
opportunities at Hilfiker's Cash
Store. Our Special Offerings
will touch every department and
meet Mems, Ladies', Boys and
Children's needs with sound quail
ity, coupled fast to low prices.
It isn't quality alone, it isn't vari-
ETY. alone, nor prices alone that
has built up our business, but the
combination of tile three, and the
system of modern merchandising
in the presence of which high
prices cover and hoist the white
flag of capitulation and sue for
quarters OH any terms. Our fight
is for the peoples welfare. It
must and shall prevail, for we have
concentrated our best energies to
the betterment of the peoples pur-
charing privileges and the reward
we seek is the "Well Done" of the
people.

the place is planted in apple trees,
however plum and cherries do
we'll. So far peaches have not
been success in this portion OF
the Arkansas valley. Small fruits
do we'll here, but we did not see:
any large tracts of strawberries,
raspberries, grapes or currants.
We drove by the State Expert
ment station which has done much
toward finding out what kinds Of
fruits, cereals, etc., will grow in
that section of the state.
We noticed thousands of head
of cattle and sheep being wintered
OH alfalfa. Land under cultivation
is bringing $50 an acre. Many of
the large tracts of alfalfa are being
divided up into five and ten acre
fruit tracts, SO that in a few years
the population in and round Rocky
Ford will more than double.
This town has four large church
edifices, and u fine school house
(off to the southeast corner OF the
city )so that the inhabitants boast
Of their advantages which few
places of this size can.-Trinidad

Chairman Focht's Report.

The legislative committee appoint
ed two years ago to investigate the
number of aliens quartered upon the
State was fled Monday night of last
week. The report says:
THE evils complained of that led
to the framing of the resolution
authorizing this investigation have
grown out of the too liberal immi.
grafton laws of the country, which
in later years have invited in many
cases no longer the thrifty European
who ut once became self sustaining
and q good citlzea, but many of the
degraded and ignorant of the Sla-
vonic countries who have not only
been a menace to American work
ingmen, unbalancing the equillib-
rum that previously existed be-
tween employers and employees, but
the burden put upon the taxpayer
