THERE has never before been
such an argument against the
trusts as the beet sugar lobby
has made. 1t has taken the Re-
publican party by the throat,
compelled it to turn down Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt, to repu-
date it's platform pledges and
to break faith with the Cuban
republic. The advocates of this
dishonor could not have accom-
plished their object if their open
attacks had not been secretly
abetted by all the other plumber
ing trusts that are permitted by
tariff favor to pick the pockets
of the people of the United
States. If the sugar monopoly
was to be disturbed by recipro-
cal trade arrangements with
Cuba, they argued, it would be
an entering wedge for further
movement toward commercial
emancipation. This plea was eff
fective. Congress has ended it's
sitting, and rather than even
clip the fringe of the garment of
Dinngleyism the country has
been put to open shame.-Phila-
delphia Record.

Kicksrs Must Turn To The Left.

The following poetic-pre com bin
alton from an unknown source viii
be read with interest by many people:
Saint Peter sits at the heavenly gates.
his hands en- the stripgs of the Tyre,
and he sings low song as he patient
ly waits for the souls of those who
expire. He hears in the distance a
chorus of song that swells from the
foot of the heavenly throne, and he
smiles as the music ia waited along,
and be MARBLES a lay of his own:
There 10 room in this region for
millions of souls. who though sorrow
and woe are berefi; tits for those who
have suffered the melody rolls, but
the kickers must turn to the left.
There is room for the people who
when they were young persisted in
sowing wild oats, yet doomed up their
town with sinew and tongue, but the
kickers must go with the goats
There's room for the people who
pointed with pride to the beauty and
growth of their town; who kept
singing its praises loud till they die
but kickers will please ample down.
They'd say that the music was all
out of time and the angelic gown
''hand me.down" and they would send
TO jeweler in the moon to sample
the gold in their crown. So while
there is room for millions of souls
who though sorrow and woe were
bereft, we want no complaint of the
music that rolls, 30 kickers must
turn to the left"

Death of John Weirauch.

At 1op. NJ. Friday, August. Ist.
1907. the life of John Weirauch passed
out in the sleep that knows no waking.
Cut off in the very beginning of use
fulness, this young man of popular
social standing and promising future
is taken almost suddenly from those
who loved him, and the solitude of the
grave is his grim environment. But
his short life of kindly deeds and man.
ly integrity will ever be remembered
by those who knew him as fitting
example for all youth to follow.
John Weirauch was the eldest son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Weirauch of
this city. He came to Great Bend
early in 1900, from Illinois, shortly
after his arrival taking a position as
clerk in the drygoods department of
the Lundblade & Bolingers store.
where he remained until about ten
days before his death. He was
stricken with typhoid fever. and all
that medical skill could do, did not
avail. He leaves, besides the strick
en- parents, brothers and sisters, a
wife and babe of about two years.
Funeral services were conducted at
the Presbyterian church at 800 p, m. :.
Sunday the 4th, conducted by breath
rem in the Masonic order, intermsnt
being in the Great Bend cemetery.
His sudden death was a shock to
this community and deepest sympathy
goes out to the bereaved families,

THREE NOTED CASES.

All Doing Well at the New Haven Hos
 pital.
 The three men with broken backs now a the New Haven hospital were report ed last night as doing well and their cases are causing no end of speculation on the part of prominent New Haven physicians who have made eXamina- tions into the cases.
 The men are Peter D. Smith, who fell from tree in Northford about two weeks ago while hunting coons; Pat rick Crotty, the teamster who was crushed by an elevator at Sargents three weeks ago. and an Italian named Frank Antone, who fell from the third story of house on Whalley avenue ten days ago
 i Instead of getting worse the condition of the men seems to improve slightly though when they were taken to the hospital it was thought that they had little chance of living a week.

H. A. DOTY,
A Personal Tribute.

Outside the large circle of friends who knew and loved him. there are thou sands in this city who would have lived fuller lives through knowing MT. H. A. Doty, who has just been taken from us, on the eve of a career full of promise and blessing to all.
 He was a man of science in the purest acceptance of the word, and while others were pursuing their investigations along scientific lines. and either run ming to seed or becoming materiaiistic l in their conceptions, his soul remained pure and simple. enabling him to take all the beautiful facts of nature, and see therein the divine hand deftly con- | cealed yet courting his investigation, and unfolding and widening out into undreamed of realms.
 1 And what an investigator he was. What infinite patience he had, and what beautiful work he did. not only with his hands but with his brain as we'll! His investigations, like all true inVestiga- tions, led him nearer to God. Each time one met him, he knew more than on the previous occasion, so that it was always a joy to meet him.
 TJp to a recent date, some of us could follow and learn from him many Of the beauties that lay all around us in sucn profusion, but shut from our vision oy our own prossness or lack of under standing. But now he has taken g stride in advance, to pursue his life or l hof tho nTnSpQt lS closed to us. The frail body was moi sufficiently strong to form habitatiof for the great spirit that lived there, ant dissolution was inevitable
 But to us who are left little space there is a great lesson to learn in thu passing of our gifted brother It is sal' that Miltons reward for his writing was fifty dollars in installments, and al ienominious death; that the best tn
 world had for Robert Burns was t
 give him job guaging beer. And hoy much better have we acted in this case Here God in His infinite wisdom sen
 us man with wonderful powers, pos . sessed of a marvellous touch and nm
 nite patience, a clear and logical mine that did not get into a rut, splrltua , discernment of things known to bu
 few. and a kindly disposition that nev
 CT spoke evil of any one. And what al
 we as a community do with such man? Did we look upon him as $ priceless gift, and put him in pos
 tion where he could use his great abil , ties to the best advantage, relieving hii
 of the ordinary cares and anxieties
 life, so he could follow his bent an @ anon deliver his message?
 O, my fellow sinners, think what W
 did with this man. We, you and l, cor
 demned him to sit in a miserable stun
 court room, breathing foul air, an a writing such stuff as would disgrace = South Sea Islander, wearing out thf Il delicate brain of his, that was fitted tt
 work which if we had allowed him to
 if would have sent civilization forWa1 n fifty years at a bound.
 n Over his earthly remains We may we
 shed a tear, not for him, but for o'
 own folly, and we can pay no hlgh
 tribute to his memory than in future e so apply ourselves that when God sen'
 his messengers to us, we may have ey
 to see and ears to hear what they ha' a to say.
