Lee wRIeHTMYER -.
Organizer Of the Farmers Alliance and
BTIddls-oEthe-ROad PuPuIist Leader.

Organizer Of the Farmers Alliance and
8Iidd1s-0Ethe-ROad PuPulist Leader.
Judge ". F. Wrightmyer, of Topeka,
was IN GOOdland Monday, -anvassing
for the Kansas Farmer and represent
ing the Standard Stock Food company,
of Omaha, Neb. He was formerly one
of the leading attorneys of Topeka,
and a political organizer of prOmin-
ence. But having nearly lost his eye
sight by Over-wOrk was obliged. to
abandon a lucrative practice and take
up Out-of-dOOr work.
He was the head organizer of the
Farmers Alliance, and trusted legal
adviser Of the peoples party, framing
several of the salutarY laws enacted by
that party and now on the statute books.
He took the middle-of-the-roadv view Of
the party policy, and even as late as
the recent campaign was in the lead of
the movement to preserve the integrity
of the peoples party, as he said, ''fOr
future use and success of the reform
movement. -
In the late campaign in travelling
over the state he said that he could
not find any Populists, as they all de-
clared that It was their intention to vote
for Roosevelt believing him to be in
earnest in the prosecution of the trusts. -
He gave It as his opinion, that the
great majority of those POPulists who
were formerly republicans, had re-
turned to the republican party to stay;
while a smaller per cent Of the Old-line
populists, who could not bring them
selves to support the republican PrOtec-
tive tariff policy, had gone into the
democratic party to stay.
He cOncurred IN the prevalent OPin-
ion that the defeat Of Parker gave Bry-
an the leadership in the democratic
party, and that his advanced views on
the ownership of national, state and
civic utilities would bring to his support
millions of voters IN 1908, and, although
he might not be again a presidential
candidate, his influence IN the party
would be paramount and patriotic,
making It safe to follow his lead.
He was much interested in our grow
ing CITY, enquiring about the advance
Of the price Of farm lands in this county,
and believed that this part Of the west
had q great future before 1t. He left
Monday night for towns in the east
along the Rock Island road.

ANMuAL TEAoAERs. MEETINe.
Fifteenth Session at OberIin, to Be Adj
dressed BY Senator BeTeridEe.


The most attractive feature of the
Fifteenth annual session of the North
west Kansas Teachers association, to
be held in Oberlin, November "a and
Is, viii be an address to this educa-
tional body by Senator Albert ]. Bever-
idge, of Indiana. Not often It is that a
teachers association away out vest
can avail itself of the privilege of hear
ing so prominent man. In 1885 young
Beverage was finishing his last year IN
DePauw university, and was a winner
in the interstate oratorical contest; and
at one time was a real estate agent IN
Kansas. He has written a book about
Russia, and after he was elected sena-
tor from Indiana, he visited the Philip
pine islands to investigate conditions
and to satisfy his mind about a people
that commands so much of our political
attention today. Mr.. Beverage will de-
liver his lecture in the Oberlin opera
house Thursday evening
Ed Amherst OFT, head of the OFT
school of Oratory, viii also deliver a
lecture before the association.
Aside from these opportunities, meet
ings will be held for the discussion of
important questions of school life.

HOLDS THE BANNER.
Pacific Coast Ahead on 1Iirriage-Decrease
In EoreiEn B0rn-

IN Foreign Born
That there has been a steady de-
crease in the foreign born population
Of the United States in the last ten
years is one Of the interesting thiugs
shown In an abstract Of the tenth
census which has just been published
by the department Of commerce. In
the ten years covered by the report
the native born births increased %
per cent. while the foreign born births
increased only u per cent.
The actual number OF English. Irish.
German, and French residents Of the
United States has decreased in this
period, while the Poles, Russians, and
Italians have increased by a large per
cent
Hard times is the principal cause
given for the comparative decrease in
the foreign born population
In view Of the immense throngs of
immigrants that settle in New York
one Of the surprising facts Of the sta
tistics is that the per cent. OF increase
Of the native born in the ten years
slightly exceeds the per cent. Of in
crease Of the foreign born. The show
ing is contrary to nearly every other
populous eastern state.
The statistics show that the average
number OF persons to a family In the
United States is Al
In 1900 the percentage Of married
among all persons Is years and older
was 55-5 per cent, OF single So. Of
widowed almost eight per cent. and
Of divorced four-tenths Of one per

When we speak oi warm or cool

can communicate neither heat nor cold
to the body. Fur Is not warm nor lin

ductors for the hear generated by the
body Itself. Fur and wool are excel

it to the figure quoted.

often hides in the lines of the poets Of

That at any rate is Bandmaster Ber-
gers way of looking at it.
1T is hard to get new things 70 play
all the time" said Captain Berger. THE
difficulty is that everybody hears us so
often. In big cities the same program
can be played over and over again and
always find new audiences, but here
after we have played a piece a few
times people begin to complain. You
see there is something more to be done
than simply to buy piece of music and
play it. I get the music and then I
have to write it all out into thirty
parts. That is no joke. Sometimes I
write and I write until my eyes ache,
because writing out music is not so
easy. Then sometimes it is disappoint-
ing. Not long ago I got a beautiful
piece, The GondOlier.' No, not Gilbert
& Sullivans 'Gondoliers' - another
piece. 1t is fine, but we played it and
nobody noticed it, and then they asked
for 'Bedalia.' Oh, well, we must give
people what they want. That is what
we are paid for"
