an utter impossibility to gather
any of it

Next Two Years and Patriotic
Democrats Must Lead.
The late election may fairly be
called drawn battle, for while the
Democrats lost ground in some
states, they gained about % seats
in the House of Representatives
reducing the Republican mejority
from over one hundred to about
fifty. The general trend of the
elections showed gains for the
Democrats in the cities due to the
aid of Organized Labor and stand
still vote in the country, which re-
quires more information before &C.
counting for it tits hardly pro
bable that farmers endorsed the
stand pat tariff doctrine which
plumbers them and enriches the
trusts and corporation, yet many
farmers were evidently too busy or
too we'll Satisfied to take the trou-
BILE to vote.
The more complete organization
and the money of tariff protected
trusts enabled the Republicans to
bring out the vote of their regular
supporters while the lack of the
uece ssary money to pay for teams
and workers, led to many Demo-
Gratis staying away from the ptlis.
The result of the election there
fore shows that the great need of
the Democrats is more thorough
organization aud this work should
at once be undetsken by the party
committees who are in charge of
the organic ition. Suo1 work can

put it off until presidential nomi-
nation is made, is to invite another
defeat.
There is no doubt that more
than half the voters of the United
States are either Democrats, or
believe in Democratic policies but
If unorganized they cannot be
brought to the polls and counted.
Instead of waiting. however, for
the leaders to move the Dcmoora-
tic workers in every township and
country should take account of
stock and find out how many relia.
BILE Democrats there are in their
locality and then urge action by the
state committees to supply the
necessary literature arguments to
win over the doubtful and indie
pendent voter.
There is lots of work to be done
in the next two years and patriotic
Democrats will have to do it and
thus enthuse those who otherwise
would lag in the reforms that are
so much needed.
Organization is badly needed in
Mason County. The election jast
past would have been a Demoora-
tic victory had the Democrats gone
to the polls and cast their ballots
for the party nominees. There
were over HOO Democratic voters
that stayed at home and did not
even make an effort to go the polls.

GALPED NEAR FORT zARAH.
Story Of Allen Edwards, Now Of Wau.
kOmiS, Oklahoma.

Allen W. Edwards, of Wauko-
mis-, claims the distinction of be-
ing the only man living who was
scalDed by Indians. There were
a number of instances during the
days of Indian warfare where the
victims of the scalping knife re-
covered and lived sometimes for
years after the operation, but Ed
wards is the last survivor of that
number. He has always been
able to work as well as ever, but
Las had trouble from time to time
as result of the wounds in his
head and has lately had to submit
toNseveral operations. As he is
now 60 years old, this has serious
ly lessened his earning ability,
and he has lately made application
for a pension, which is being
pushed at Washington by Delegate
Mcclure. Edwards feels that he
really has a pension coming, al
though he has never been willing
to ask for it until he felt that he
absolutely needed it, as he was in
the government employ as an
army teamster, when his scalp
was lifted by hostile Cheyennes
in 1864.
Edwards is a native of Mis-
souri,, and was born in Polk
county in August, 1916. His
early days were spent on a farm
near Bolivar, but when he was
still a boy his parents moved to
Brownsville, Neb. thena frontier
settlement. He was left an orphan
early, and after short period of
working for neighboring farmers,
he left the farm for Fort Leaven-
worth, where he sought employ
ment as plainsman and guide.
1t was on his first trip as a teamster
that the wagon train was attacked
by Cheyennes, 300 strong, and
many of the teamsters and freight
ers killed or wounded.
The battle in which Edwards
lost his scalp occurred on Walnut.
creek, near Fort Zarah, about three
miles from the present site of
Great Bend, Kans. The wagon
train was enroute from Fort
LeaVenworth, 'Kans., to Fort
Union, n. NJ, and was almost in
sight of Fort Zarah when attacked.
The lead transfers whipped up
and reached the fort in safety but
those in the rear were cut off by
the Indian charge, and had to
make a stand in their own defense. |
Their fight with the redskins
began at 9o'clock in the morning
and continued until 4 o'clock in
the afternoon. Although very
poorly armed, the teamsters sue
,eeded in holding off the Indians
all day, and killed a considerable |
of them, according to Ed
wards story, the exact number
being, of course, impossible to
ascertain. The horses and mules
we're finally captured by the
Cheyennes and the wagons
Olundered, before a body of
cavalry arrived from the fort toI
drive the Indians away. Ten of
the transfers were killed outright |
and five were wounded.
