HARRIS'S fight like FOLKS
The Circuit Rider Draws Comparisons
in Kansas and Missouri.

Hutchinson, Hans. Sept. l6.-
The more | travel about in Kan
sas the more certain become my
convictions and the better ! like
this state. If | were not a Mis-
sourian | would like to be a Kan
san. All a Missourian needs to
do to appreciate this good, honest
state is to do as | am doing,
know it and its people.
Today the political issue in Kan
as differs a triAe from the issue
met and faced in Missouri. Alike,
however, the question is simply
one of economics and outside of
oratory and party platforms, it all
comes down to the selection of a
public servant who is most COM
petent, most honest and most eff
cient.
In Missouri the contest was for
a nopgation. In Kansas the con
test between party nominees,
i best interests of Kansas
are depe ndent upon the proper
selection. | have seen enough
and know enough to be convinced
that active, bright and energetic
Kansas will not rail behind old
sleepy, hard to arouse Missouri.
which once aroused, is mighty
vide awake.
Just as it was in Missouri, here
in Kansas | find the politicians,
the lawyers, the oficehClders
about the county courthouses tell
ing me Harris has no show for
election, as they told me Folk
had no show for the nomination
in Missouri. A little bit away
from that environment things
take on a better aspect in Kan
sas, as they did in Missouri.
The citizen the business man in
the towns and the farmers elected
Folk, and the same determinate
impulse is visible here in Kansas.

POINT SCORED
BY THE DEFENSE
Admission Made by Susie
Wagner, Former Maid in the
Hartje Household.

Pittsburg, July 27.-Susie Wagner,
formerly a maid in the employ of the
Hartje household, was a witness for
Mr. Rartje today in his suit for di-
vOrce, but her testimony made an i'm
portant point for Mrs. Hartje That
Susie Wagner received three letters
from Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje while Su-
sic was in Germany was brought out
Hitherto only two letters had been
mentioned, one of them being the dis
puted letter known as exhibit No. 6.
Miss Wagner said she gave the second
letter to Ed" Hartje in New York
Mrs. Hartje's attorneys have contended
all along that exhibit No. was a
forged reproduction of another letter.
The admission that the second letter
reached the Hartje side two months be-
fore No. 6 is regarded as important in
view of the contention of Mrs. Hartje's
counsel
Susie Wagner, on cross-examination,
admitted that she had received a let
ter from Mrs. Hartje which contained
substantially the came things as are
found in the exhibit No. 6 and which
she says she gave to Attorney E. G..
Hartje in New York.
Letter Not in Evidence.
Although the new letter has been
traced to the hands of Mr.. Hartje's
counsel by their own witness, it was
not offered as 4 standard"
In order that she should not be fur
Their subjected to annoyance at the
hands of rowdies three detectives
guarded Mrs. Hartje while on the
street today. The hearing was adj
journed today until next week when in
two or three days il is expected the ia
king of evidence will be completed.
1t is expected that the plaintiff will
go on the stand before the close and
deny certain allegations made against
him.
Professor w. A. Drake, the handwrit-
ing expert, for Hartje, said the con-
test over the handwriting in the case
had been the longest and hardest
fought since the famous Junius letters
written in England, over a century ago.

Has Extensive Plans.

The association. through its officers.
is trying to make the National Wool
Growers association the largest organ
izatfOn of stockmen in the world, and
further plans for its campaign along
this line will be made at the salt Lake
meeting.
Last January, when the aSsOciat ton
met in Denver it had run down to less
than fifty members who paid their
dues After the Denver meeting red
hot membership campaign was inaugu-
rated by George S. Walker of Chey-
enne, Wyo., secretary CT the assOcia-
ton, with the result that in the inter
vening months he has secured over 5000
members, as stated.
Mr. Walker and the other officers of
the association believe that by the time
of the Salt Lake meeting the associa-
ton will have fully 5000 members.

Objects of Association.

The association has many objects, al
along the line of promoting the wool
growing industry. Some idea of its
work may be gained from the fact that
IL was chiefly instrumental in securing
the repeal by the resent congress of the
bill providing that livestock in transit
must be unloaded every twenty-eight
hours. This measure was regarded as
working a great hardship on the sheep
men, and a measure was secured eX-
tending the time to thirty-six hours,
with other provisions which render the
working of the less irksOme. Another
prime object of the association is to
work for the retention of the tariff on
