sale what We consider an excep-
tional opportunity for invest
ment, in the shape OF a ranch of
5000 acres in Clark county. BY
referring to a map of Kansas

west OF Barton, but considerably
south. The ranch has been in
litigation for several years. but
the litigation is now settled, and
the court has ordered the land
sold. This land is located two

Every American is a potential trans

prOpriate to the season and the Europe

known as The Baedeker of the Ocean.
This booklet of los pages is replete
with valuable information on almost
| 800 subjects. every one of which is
vital to the land-locked American on
| his first ocean trip. while being of alb
sOrbing interest to even the most trav-
| eled 1t is plentifully illustrated with
color plates of the tunnels and flags OF
the transatlantic lines, the signal code
flags, and harbor maps of all the most
visited parts. showing the points OF
interest on the seward edge of such
seaport cities.
Not the least useful points in the fund
| of information are the methods of com

the current issue OF. Moody's maya,

entitled to the most serious consider

1t is heresy to even think of it, the
StandpatterS assure us.
The fact is that no one knows what
will happen as the prosperity of the
United States does not depend on tar
if protection, far from it. Good crops
like we have been blessed with for the
past few years, will put all the birds OF
evil omen to flight and bad corps will
certainly bring disaster. The farmer
now. as he has ever been, is the main
stay of the nation. So if you want
to know what is going to happen

Criticisms of the Courts.

III the decision of the United States
supreme court against ex-senator Pat
terson, whose newspaper had criticised
the Colorado supreme court in the
1904 election cases, Justice Holmes
says:
when a case is finished courts are
subject to the same criticism as other
people, but the prOpriety and neces-
sity of preventing interference with
the courts of justice by premature
statement. argument or intimidation
hardly can be denied
This comes dangerously near being
d criticism of a certain distinguished
statesman in the white house whose
unqualified condemnation of men
awaiting trial for murder is calculated
to influence the course of justice.
