EDITOR CHANUTE TIMES:

EDITOR CHANUTE ZINES:
l agree with the opinion of Old
Timer in last weeks paper. Young
men and women who go out and sys
tematically canvass from house to
house, selling a good book, not only
acquire great knowledge Of human
nature, which is necessary to business
success, but also find out that they
have power to succeed.
What is Armour but salesman of
meat, Rockefeller but salesman OF
oil?
Almost anybody can MAKE patent
medicines. flour, oatmeal, soap, etc +,
but the big fortunes in these lines
have been made by the men who knew
how to SELL them.
/ know that Galveston; the Hor-
rors of a Stricken City," by Murat
Halstead, published by the Dominion
Company Of Chicago, is book that
would sell easily aud rapidly. Who
ever gets the opportunity to sell it in
this section, and is not afraid to get
out and show people he Tor she) be-
lieves in work and push, is goir to
make money. 1t sells for only Sl.50
in cash, and nearly everybody wants
it. A Book BUYER.

Boer Gold for Davis.

1t is now openly asserted that Web
ster Davis received 1925, 900 from Dom
Paul for his pretended influence in
American politics.
An English correspondent, over his
own signature, asserts the fact.
Circumstances are c0rroboratiye.
A Washington man, who was very
near to Davis, is demanding part Of
the gold, claiming that he was a party
TO the Davis scheme to bleed Kreuger.
Webster resigned a good position on
his return from South Africa and be-
gan to make Boer speeches.
He seems to have more money than
his salary as Assistant Secretary would
warrant, or he would not undertake
the building of expensive flats in Kan
sas City.

Another DemoCatiC Lie Nailed

Being informed that one or two OF
our local candidates were making the
assertion, at their schoolhouse meet
ings, that the Schuttler wagon was
sold in South America for 1923 and re.
tailed In this country for $75, aud also
that said candidates were trying tc
make the farmers feel that they were
being greatly imposed upon thereby,
we wrote to the company manufactur.

their answer below.

A.H. Turner, Editor THE CHANUTE
TIMES, Chanute, Kan. Dear Sir:-In
answer to your favor Of the 9th inst,
we beg to state that since Mckinley
and prosperity came to the people Of
the United States our factory has been
running full force, full time, and even
overtime, without our being able to
supply our home trade, with the ex-
ception OF limited trade in our sis
ter Republic of Mexico.
"No wagon of our make has touched
the shores OF South America 10 fifteen
years, and those shipped at that time
were Uf very expensive character
costing at least twice as much as
those used in your State.
"Any man stating that our wagon
can be had In any foreign country for
S2S is either an idiot, Knave or COM
mon liar, since that amount does not
cover cost, and further, no foreigner
has ever bought wagon from us sine e
we have been in business-Over Sc
years-cheaper than our fixed priC 9

ANrI-poLYoAMx AMENDMENT.
House Committee ON Judiciary Besieged by
Advocates of tho Amendment.

House Committee ON Judiciary Besieged by
Advocates of the Amendment.
The rooms Of the house committee Oh
Judiciary were crowded to overfowinG
Wednesday with the representatives Of
many religious, missionary and social
reform bodies to urge the need of a
constitutional amendment prohibiting
polygamy.
Among those heard were Bishop Sat.
tsrly, Episcopal bishop Of Washington;
Rev. DIR. Hamlin, in behalf of the Pres
byterian church; DR.. s. II. Green, of the
Baptist church: Mrs. james, for the
Woman's Home Missionary board OF
the Presbyterian church, Miss Jennie
Alderman, travelling representative Of
the w. c. I. u; Judge W. NJ Springer
of the Indian Territory; DIR. John Dix
on of New York; Dr. L. A. Foote of
Brooklyn,a and quite a number Of others
representing various denominations.
The addresses were strongly condem-
natory of polygamy, and many of those
engaged in missionary work in the
west stated that the Mormon church
was Systematically propagating the
doctrine of polygamy despite all de.
mails.
The lady speakers appealed in par.
ticular for protection to the sanctity OF
the American home. Mrs. James gave
the result of twenty years observation
on this subject, while on the Women s
Home Missionary board Of the Presby.
terrain church. She spoke in the most
vigorous terms of denunciation against
the Mormon church. They were colon.
izing and extending their work in
Montana, Idaho, Colorado and other
states.

URGED TO STAND FIRM.
Republican Legislators Pledge Their Lives
to Taylor.


to Taylor.
The greatest excitement among the
legislators and in the hotels and on the
streets at London, KY, was caused by
the report that Governor Taylor had
signed the agreement with the Demo
Gratis. Later telegram was received
from Frankfort saying Governor Tay-
lor still maintains his attitude, and had
not signed the agreement. This burst
the bubble of anxiety, and messages
were sent by the senators and repre-
sentatives, urging Governor Taylor to
remain firm. and under no circum-
stance to attach his signature to the
conference agreement.
Representative Kelday sent the fol-
lowing message to the governor:
Make no compromise of our rights
under the constitution and the law.
We represent the people of this com
monwealth for free election and a
fair count. Any attempt on the part
of any man or any set of men to set
aside the result of the last election by
force, fraud orvicious legislation, with
out the consent of the people, is treason.
We therefore pledge you our support
and lives if you will but stand by the
election returns as counted by the cleo
toral commission. All members agree
to this"
The session of each house of the leg.
islatnre was brief, and the rain kept
away most Of the spectators.
All the members interviewed express
themselves as opposed to the compro
mise. Republicans from all over the
state are urging Taylor to stand firm
and are foeking to Frankfort for con
Eultation.

Macrunn is Home.

Charles +. Macrum, former United
States Consul at Pretoria, arrived Mon
day on the American line steamship st.
Paul. With him were his wife and little
daughter. Mr.. Macrum's silence is still
unbroken, through he says that after
his arrival in Washington he will
issue a statement over his sigma
ture telling why he left his post at
such critical time
Mr.. Macrum refused to either confirm
or deny the story that while in Paris
he held a conference with DR., Leyds,
President Kruger's diplomatier epresen-
tative in Europe,
1t was pointed out to the former Con-
sui that the State department had
given out that he was no longer con-
nected with that branch of the service
and that for that reason he was free
to talk. To this he replied can not
help that consider that lam connect

Armed conflict between civil authori-
ties of Franklin county and the ma
tional guard OF the state of Kentucky
has been averted, and unless some new
causes should come to the front, there
ID no likelihood that the political stu
alton will become as threatening as 1t
has been Governor Taylor has ordered
the release OF Alonzo Walker, for the
release of whom Judge Moore declared
that Sheriff Suffer would swear in u
posse and take possession of the capitol
grounds, if such an extreme became
necessary.
Both sides will take a rest pending
Lhe session of the Republicans called
by Governor Taylor at London No
Democrats will attend unless they are
taken there BY the military force of
the state, and no attempt will be made
in this direction by Governor Taylor
until he has afforded them every op-
portunity to 60 to London of their own
accord, What will be done when it
has been made certain that the Demo
Gratis will not visit London has not
been definitely determined by Governor
Taylor. 1t is likely that matters on
both sides win be allowed to drift until
after the funeral of MIR, Goebel,
