wide world eonversant with that
fact besides himself. HIS discovery
must be made known in order that
it shall have a value. Without the
means of publicity it is worthless.
And even the bare fact of its an
nouncement without confrmatory
proof Will be regarded delusion, the
efervescence of a dreamer Just
here is where the inestimable value
of advertising comes in for consid-
Grafton and appreciation.
This means of exploitation has
built up the Industries OF the Unit
ed States, and the triumphal ascend
ancy of American inventions and en-
terprises, when contrasted with those
Of the old World, is due principally
to advertising. The American peo-
pIe place high estimate on adver-
Using, and the function has, by rea-
son of expectancy. come to be para
mount one in our civic life
The country is well supplied with
agencies of advertising. SO that the
expectancy is not without grattfca-
ton, and one of these agencies has
earned the peculiar favor of the
jamestown Ter-Centennial Exposi-
ton. which will be hel don the
shore and waters of Hampton Roads
in old virginia. from the 26th OF
April till the LIST of December, 1907.
The agency referred to is the
Humphrey Advertising Company oil
Chicago, the head of which firm is
the Hon. ]. A. Hulnpnrey, native
Vfrginian but an adopted citizen OF
the pushing, thriving prairie state OF
Illinois. Mr.. Humphrey is inspired
by his congenital love for the Ola
dominion in placing the resources OF
the agency over which he presides at
, the disposition of the Jamestown Elk
posftion to spread its advertising
matter over an extent of territory
which covers thirteen states and IN
cludes 4,272 railway stations The
vaIue of this distribution, estimated
ON a cash basis, will be about $25'-
600.
Mr. Humphreys is the Illinois
state Commissioner to the James
town Exposition, and his official du-
ties will be discharged from motive
Of patriotism as well as official OBJ
LEGATION. The high motive which IN
snires him to thus place the FAR
reaching resources of the agency at
the service of the jamestown Expo
sition marks hi mout for the honors
of altruism. in this that he seizes the
onnortunity presented of furthertng
tbe interests Of his kith and kin In
the old inion,Iwhile the patrlot-
ic impulse OF featuring an ethnolosic
ide ais also kept steadily In opera
ton.

rwo SCHOOL DAYS.

THOMAS G. Miller, state superin-
tendent of free schools, has issued a
statement to the school authorities
of the state in which he suggests
that Library Day, which is set for
the first Friday of December, and
West virginia Day which is set for
december 10, being so close together
il. the school work this year should
be observed in one exercise on Fri
day, December z.
This suggestion by the head of
the free school system of the state Is
a sensible and practicable one and
It is hoped that the two observances
this year will be both enthusiastic
and profitable for in the school work
in west Virginia they mean much.
The purpose of West Virginia day
is to study the history of West Vir-
rInia and West Virginians more care
fully and learn more about our ma
teriaI and educational progress. 1t
is. a most commendable object, for
as Mr.. Miller says, our youth know
too little about their native state.
For a number of years Mr.. Miller has
observed this and he says:
I'm many schools children can tell
Won much about@Englaud and the
valley of the Nile; they can name
Ibe rivers of Asia and bound Colo
rado, but when asked to name the
products of JEFFERSON or mcdowell
counties in this state, locate the
Greenbrfer river, or name the coun'
ties lying along the Ohio river, they
cannot answer. Then when it comes
to a knowledge of the early settle
ments Of the state they are entirely
lost.

selves. we know less about our an
cestors. Some of our people do no
l,noyy whence they came or how the!

come home to us that we Of Har-

Certainly no better news has been
read than that about William Ran

to run for a political office 1t
would be most gratifying to know
that this addIe-headed manikin OF

himself upon the public again. The
only fear Is that his announced IN

Cruisers and GunbOats Assembling

Washington. Sep. 12.-Acting
Secretary Bacon announced this
morning that the cruiser Driver
had been ordered to Havana,
Cuba. The gunboat Morieta has
been ordered to Cienfugos, and
the DesMoines is still at Key

ton proposes to be ready to inter-
vene, if asked, by landing marines
in Cuba and putting an end to the
revolution. The entire program
of the Cuban affair is being man.

Bell, chief of staff, consulted
with the President, remarking on
the possible military operations
in Cuba, during his recent visit
to Oyster Bay.
Today Major Ladd started for
Havana on a months leave. His
ostensible reason was to look after
private property affairs. Evil

purpose to have an army officer

Mayor E. W. Moses a member
of the Santa Fe Trail committee
has received word that the COM
mitee has on board the car at
Fort Barracks, Florida, a three
thousand pound canon to be used
in marking the old trail at Fort
lara, three miles east of this city.
The gun has cost the committee a
little over fifty dollars to have it
loaded at that place. and the
freight will be more than that.
1t will make a fue monument at
the site of the old fort, and we
expect there are lots of people
living in Great Bend who do not
know that there ever was a fort
within three miles of the city.

ton of over five million bushels

ton of over five million bushels
per annum that they charged us
when we raised but a few thousand
bushels, and the republicans of
Barton county in convention as
sembled demand a reduction of
this rate to at least 10 cents per
hundred, which reduction for 1906
alone would bring about a saving
to our people of $3.50, 10000. on
our wheat alone, or add almost
four cents per bushel to every
bushel we have to sell, and we
pledge the nominee of this conven-
tlon for representative to work
for this reduction and a proper
tionate reduction on all other COM
modities.
We favor the enactment of a
law prohibiting the giving or
making of any rebate or reduc-
toin in freight charges, thereby
placing all shippers, whether large
or small on an equal footing, and
creating severe penalties for the
violation thereof.
Be if further resolved that our
State Senator be requested, that
our nominee for Representative,
if elected, instructed to work for
and support of some measure which
will safeguard the money of the
private depositor in the various
state and national banks which
should be held responsible to their
depositoIs by surety bonds run to
the state and county, and believing
that the individual deposits
should be entitled to as much con-
sideration as are..the funds of the
state and county.
We favor the enactment of an
anti-pass law, making it a crime
for person or corporation to give
or receive free transportation in
any form whatever in this state
except such as is issued to bona
fde employees of railroad CON-
panies and their immediate fami-
lies.
We call the attention of the
voters of Barton county to the
clean, efficient. economical, and
faithful manner in which the
nominees of the republican con.
vention of two years ago have ad.
ministered the affairs of this coun
ty, and We pledge the nominee:

of the people.

OF the people.
In order to safeguard the in
tereSts of the people it is necessary
that the laws of the state and ma
ton shall,be enforced I'VE therefore
demand that the laws of Kansas,
known as the antitrust laws, shall
not be allowed to stand as a dead
letter but that the same shall be
rigidly enforced against all man
ner of trusts and unlawful com.
binatiOns in our state, and we COM
mend the vigorous efforts of our
state administration to that end.
We favor the enactment of a
primary election law, compelling
all parties to nominate all officers
from U. S. senator's Ito township
officers by a diect vote of the peo-
Pile. on the same day and at the
same time throughout the state.
with strict regulations and pen
altIes, so as to secure a pure bal
lot.
We favor the assessment of rail
road property on the same basis as
other property in this state, and
we favor the enactment of a law
creating a commission to ascer-
tain the actual value of all rail-
road property in this state.
We favor a law fixing the mini.
mum rate of passenger fares in
this state at two cents a mile.
We demand the enactment of
laws by our next legislature for
the regulation of freight rates in
this state and the granting of sufi-
cient power to the state board of
raiload commissioners to secure
the strict enforcement for such
laws and regulations.
We demand a reduction on
freight rates on grain, live stock
and other commodities to our mar.
kets, and on manufactured pro.
ducts to US. Barton comfy, the
largest producer of wheat in Kan.
sas, is vitality interested in the
freight rate on wheat, and we
call especial attention to the fact
that we are today paying a rate Of
16 cents per hundred on wheat
to Kansas City, the same rate We
have paid for thirty years, during
which time the railroads have
doubled the capacity of their mo
tive power, and are now charging
US the same rate on our produc.
