Ft. Scott Republican: The selection
of Tim Slower of lola to take charge
of the speakers bureau during the cam
paign is a good one. Mr. Slower is
we'll acquainted with the speakers of
the state and the political conditions
OF the different sections and will con-

Prof. Grimsley of the chair of

Ft. Scott Tribune: 1t is announced
that the Mineral sCities Railway com
pany of Joplin which recently obtain
G d charter to build an electric line
from Joplin to Ft. Scott and then over
to lola, will begin the construction of
the line next week. Capt. Moore, the

Good News, though Common.

Nobody is particularly excited in
lola today, notwithstanding the fact
that the REGISTER on yesterday pub
lished an authorized announcement
OF the enlargement Of the Portland Ce-
ment works to nearly twice their pres
eut capacity, an extension which will
involve the expenditure of nearly a
million dollars, and will mean the
employment of 250.more men than are
now at work here. The reason no
bods is excited is because lola people
have grown so accustomed to big
things OF this sort, that the announce
ment of new ouecreates no surprise.
But Just fancy what a commotion
would be craeted in Topeka or Wich-
ita or Leavenworth If one Of their
papers were to announce the coming
OF a million dollar plant which would
employ $50 men. But it is mighty
good thing for,lola, even If we do not
get excited about IL. The enlargement
of plant already here is better
thing for the town than the establish
ment OF new plant which would in
volve the same amount of money, for
it is an evidence of prosperity and
permanence. IWhen q corporation
puts a million dollars into a plant
that has already cost million, it is
"plauted" and it is not going to be
pulled up by the roots and taken else
where slight pro vocation. The
lola Portland Cement plant is here
to stay and everybody in lola rojoices
in its prosperity.
