CROP is HOPELESS
Official Report on Kansas
Corn Is Discouraging

TOPEKA, Kan, July 15-F. D. Co
burn, secretary of the Kansas board of
agriculture, tonight made public a re-
port regarding the condition of Kansas
corn. Mr.. Coburn has received a re-
port from every county in the state.
He says that on account of the back
ward spring, cold weather and floods.
the corn is in a ragged, uneven and
imperfect condition. Under the most
favorable conditions for the remainder
of the season the condition in the ag-
gregate will be far below what Kan
sas produces in a favorable season.

cred the greatest difficulties in sink

expenditure of all he had collected
that he succeeded in sinking q hole
$50 feet deep, when he was compelled
to shut down for lack of funds. 1t is

WHO is W. o. MIEIR ?

Many people throughout the county
are asking this question and the
CHRONICLE has been called upon to
give what information it has obtained
regarding this man who dropped off
in La lara about two years ago as q
travelling life insurance agent and
who has since made it the seat of his
operations, claiming it as his home,
although he has a wife and family
living at Harris, Colorado, who have
never set foot in Conejos county.
In reply to these inquiries we must
confess our inability to do the subject
justice. We undoubtedly know Mr..
Mieir as we'll as does any other citi-
zen of Conejos county, but that's not
saying much. We know he's good
mixer, a smooth talker with an affable
manner, an artful smile and we'll
modulated voice, but if you will re.
member the old "Quaker Doctor" of
"Quaker herbs" fame, you will recall
that he, too, possessed all of these &C.
complishments and that be worked
them to a hard turned finish. While
We don't mean to say that Mr.. Mieir
would NOW entertain the idea of
standing on goods box, beneath the
flicker of torch lights, and cry the
wonderful benefits to be derived from
taking "Qnaker herbs" or Quaker
oil, and we might add oil stock
we are not the one to dispute his
ability along that particular line. On
the contrary, we are more than as.
sured that he could make the old doc
tor himself look like novice at the
business, inasmuch as he has achieved
such pronounced success in the pro-
motions be has undertaken since set
Ting in our midst.
We are betraying no confidence
when We state that he was decide lly
short on coin and painfully long on
nerve when he landed in La Jara-
as our people will testify-apd we are
told that he wrote life insurance, sold
mining stocks, gold trimmed spectacles,
and there are hints Of gold bricks
slowed away in the dark recesses OF
his war bag, but all these pale into
insignifcance when the light is turned
in the direction of his oil well mapip-
ulation, the medium through which
50 many of our farmers and business
men have become independently rich
in experience. With the aid of his
aforesaid accomplishments he soon
organized what he called the Conejos
County Oil company and had little
trouble in selling thousands Of dollars
worth Of stock, although he encount.

and health prevail. Any person of
discernment, on the ground, and cog
infant of past and present conditions
can see it and feel it.
But the work is not complete and
retrogression will set in if it is per-
mitted to stand still, and how much
worse If committed to alien and ur.
friendly hands. The country has
waited long for president with head,
heart and hand to do desperately
needed things. What be has done is
but earnest of what he can do and
will do. 1t is known that if Theodore
Roosevelt is elected president in Nov.
ember, be will come into Office un.
hampered by pledge or promise
This too will be unique in the e1-
perience of presidents and in its benef.
icent reaction on the country. There
are reforms to be completed in the
Civil Service, in Postal Service, in the
Army and Navy, and men like him
self must he chosen, without dicta-
ton from spoilsmen, to carry them
through.
1t is already known who two Of the
Cabinet Officers will be. Mr.. Hay
will continue the firm but pacific
management Of our foreign relations
which has. during the last seven years.
given US such honorable international
distinction; Mr.. Cortelyou will bring
his youth, his energy and his faculty
OF organization to bear upon the
largest and in some respects the worst
abused postal system in the world.
There will be at the heads of the
War and Navy departments, men Of
the type of Root and Taft, men of ca
pacity for work. There will be long
needed wedding out Of many incom-
petent clerks who have for years
through favoritism or relationship,
found Judgement in the public service,
who draw salaries Of from $1,000 to
$25O0 but who do nothing but what
might better be left undone, for it
is undeniabls that thousands of
places have been made and filled not
for the benefit of the service, but for
the sote benefit of the appointee.
The Civil Service troubles at the
name of Roosevelt. Recently when
Chiefs of Bureau according to an i'm
memorial habit asked for an increased
clerical force, the president issued an
order for the present force to work
thirty minutes longer per day, or
seven and half hours instead of
seven. A howl went up from these
dainty galley slaves, the reverbera-
tions Of which still fill the air.
