Ray McGrath loaded five cars of
sheep and lambs at the stock yards
Saturday, and he expects to be on
the Kansas City market on Wednes-
day of this week.
The Heath boys have built II new
barn on their farm near the Paulson
corner.
The high winds of Sunday caused
great waves to ride the great lessr-
voirs now full of water. Should the
winds raise to slightly higher velocity
and come from q northwesterly
course against dikes of Neenoshe or
Thurston reservoir there would be
danger Of them giving way as the
riprapping of either is of a very
meagre and light nature and seems
certainly inadequate to Withstand
the high waves now running, il forced
against them. A break in the former
would result in many thousands of
dollars loss of water and would cut
off all APPROACH to Lamar for many
days, from the East side of our valley
and should it occur 1t would flow
into the Queen reservoir now full;
from that into King, from it when
full the overflow would be into the
rhurston lake, and from out of that
down over the seepage land to the
Arkansas river, This may not occur
but it is possible and probable under
existing conditions.
Our shippers are rejoicing be

CHICAGO FOR 1908

In selecting Chicago for the meet
ing place of the convention Of 1908
the Republican National Committee
made . wise choice. Kansas City
made pluoky fight for tho honor,
and she was aided by st. Louis on
account of the lack of suitable meet
ing place IN this city.
Chioago's name associates itself with
some inspiring pages in the history
Of the party. 1t was at that place in
1880 that the Republicans selected
the ticket which gaye the party its
first national victory and which
has been interrupted emily twice since
then, and for only brief intervals.
Half of all the national conventions
which the party has had in it's more
than fifty years of life have been held
in the big town on Lake Michigan.
I. In every instance except in 1884 a
Chicago Republican Convention
named . winning ticket. In that year
Chicago chanced to have two conven-
tions of both the big parties, and in
the ohaotic politics Of the day the
Democratic Chicago ticket won. The
Blaine fatality at Chicago in 1884 is
not likely 70 be repeated in 1908. The
long line of Republican victories dat
ing from that convention in the Wig
wan of 1850 stands an excellent
chance to have a worthy successor
in the coming CANVASS.
Three parties have now selected
the rallying points from which they
will open their campaign of 1908.
The Prohibitionists will meet at Co.
lumbus, Ohio, and the triumphant
way in which they marched through
Georgia recently and likewise through
Alabama and Oklahoma and through
. large section of the rest of the
country, shows that it is not quite
q safe to laugh at them as 1t for
merly was. The Populists will meet
in st, Louis, and as they are likely
TO be joined here by Hsarst's 1nde
pendsnce League, that combine will
probably carry enough dynamite to
make zach of the big parties be On
It's guard throughout the campaign.
The Republicans meet in Chicago at
exactly the same day of the month,
Jane 16. that they met at st. Louis
In 1895 and wrested the government
from the Democracy. Next Thursday
the Democratic National Committee
will select the time and place for
holding its party's convention. Then
the Socialists will be the only party
of consequence which will remain to

now. The fat is in the fire. To be alluded to
III the Jeffersonian "a dcw-begummed Gu
cumber' is a casus bel recognized by Vattcl,
Grotlus, BynlershoeCk, Puffendorf, Knockem-
down, Dragemout, Hitemergin, and every 9TH
cr authority with which | am familiar.
Consequently, | will not be at all surprised
if | receive a cartel from Harve Jordan and a
hostile note from his friend the Emperor Jo-
seph. You will realize of course, that the En-
pcror is involved, as well as Harvie, and that
an afIront to the one, in this connection, is an
offence to the other. Realizing this, you will
appreciate the gravity of the crisis which is
bearing down upon me-a crisis due altogether
to the entangling alliance into which | have
been inveigled by the printer.
If you a friend of mine and ready to take
my part in case | am attacked by Harve and
the Emperor, please keep your ear cupped, so
as to hear my cry of distress when l "holler

p. S, Spinner and grower are still together.
The union of the two, brought about by Har-
vie, shows no signs of coming unglued. Spin
ners and growers have become so cOnhding
and fraternal that they just pass cotton bales
about for fun and brotherly love. Nobody
thinks Of higglng, haggling and huckstering
over the price. In fact, they sell and buy the
cotton first and then talk about the price after
wards.

Here N0lv H.!

Hast thou ever done a thing to extend the
circulation and the usefulness of Watsons
Weekly?
If not, why not? How canst thou have the
heart to stand idle all the day, thou sluggard.
when our subscription books are open and Our
eNpense-accOunt stingeth like an adder, and
biteth like hungry horse in the green corn?
How canst thou begrude thy neighbor the
feast to which thou sittest thyself down, once
a week, upon the arrival of the Jeffersonian?
Think how inhospitable it is of thee to want
it all to thyself Think how greatly thou
wouldst add to thine own pleasure by summon
ing a goodly company of congenial spirits and
whetted appetites to the banquet. Hast thou
thought upon these things?
Hast thou rung the dinner-bell? Hast thou
made thy immediate neighborhoOd resound
with the naturalization of the merry clapper
-arresting the steps of the passers by and
showing them which way to come?
If rot, why not? Pray bethink thee OF these
matters, before the night cometh wherein all
honest people, having dined, go to bed and
snOre themselves into sOmnoent oblivion. Pass
the vctuals around Don't keep on trying to
monopolize a good thing. Tell the neighbors
all about it and bid them to the feast.
Otherwise, judicious persons will adjudge
thee selfish, and thou wilt aSsuredly suffer.
SO will we.

they never faltered. Weaklings, time-servers,
place-hunters deserted us when the storm
came upon us, but the Old Guard was true to
the last. OverpoWered, beaten for the time,
it sullenly retired, firing volley, from time
to time, as the ranks grew thinner, and the
night fell.
No true-hearted Populist ever went back on
his creed None of the Old Guard was ever
ashamed OF his Cause, afraid of its enemies,
or doubtful of its final victory.
We KNEW that we were right! We knew
we stood just where Jefferson, were he alive,
would have taken his stand. We knew that the
gospel which we proclaimed was absolutely
essential to the salvation of this Republic
SO we marched on, fought on-and when we
could no longer march or fight, we rested on
our arms waiting for a happier day when we
could again go forth, to battle for the good
cause.
And of all that band of noble, fearless, un-
selfish men, who was truer man than Paul
Dixon?
He cannot be named. Others were more
conspicuous, but none more useful, more de-
voted. Others may have made more of the
noise called Fame, but none more steadily,
more gallantly, more patiently, more Loyalty
did his duty.
Vacation Take it. Paul, for you have earn
ed it. And with you as you go, take the God
bless you" Of the thousands Of the Old Guard,
who have known you so long and well, and
who love you with all their hearts.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-06-20
Paul Dixon s Vacation.

In the current issue of his paper The Mis-
souri, World Paul Dixon announces that he
must take few weeks off for rest and recrea-
ton, lest he should be unable to continue to
work. For eighteen years he has been in the
harness, and during that long period of labor
his vacation has been but two weeks-and
these were eleven years ago.
Is it any wonder that Paul should need rest? ?
Does anybody grudge him a vacation?
None but those who have, themselves, been
through the mill can know what the toll is of
conducting paper which combats the govern
mental abuses of the day. To be misunderstood
by those whom you seek to benefit, to be hated
and prosecuted by those whose injustice and
oppression you attack, to be misrepresented
and vilifed, to be neglected or betrayed, to
bear the cross while your principles are unpop-
ular and to be left without recognition or re-
ward when those principles have been made
triumphant-SuCh is the common lot Of pioneer
refOrmerS
What freed negro. of today remembers Lun-
dy and Lovejoy, Clarkson and Wilberforce?
Not one. But they all remember and adore
Abraham Lincoln who was never an original
Abolutionist; who owed his change of heart
upon that subject to his law-partner, Hern-
don; and who never took step in favor of the
negro that he was not driven to take by the
stronger men of the Abolition movement.
So, today we see the pioneers who paved
the way for Bryan and Roosevelt neglected.
Bryan is marketing harvest for which he nci-
