attractive Lecture Course
Five Numbers.

The readers of the News will
be glad to learn that Baxter is to
have FIVE numbers in its next lee.
ture course. The support given
to last years course warrented the
board of education to authorize
the superintendent of the public
schools, Spencer Apple, to select
the strongest possible course for
the place. After considering tai
ent from the leading Lyceum Blu
reaus, the following numbers
have been decided upon: For
lecturers, Chas. f. Derney and
Richard c. Hughes; for enter
tainer, John B. Ratio; for music
ais, The Lyric Glee Club and the
Elma B. Smith Co.
This is an exceedingly strong
course and should be strongly
supported by Baxter people. A
A canvas of the town will be
made to sell season tickets and
everyone who wants to help a
good cause and at the same time
be well repaid for time and
money spent should buy these
tickets and make the lecture
course a permanent enterprise of
the town.

the finest field of corn in this sec
ton of country. 1t is about waist

of being a first class farmer, and

maintain his reputation along
that line against all Corners.

Corn is making a tremendous
growth since warm weather set
in. 1t was quite backward, but

assured in this country.

James Mcfarland, the Pink
erton detective, who figures so
prominently in the Haywood trial
at Boise, Idaho, has to his credit
the unearthing of a few crimes in
Cherokee county. 1t was Mr.. Nc
Pharland, who about twenty
years ago put in a lot of time at
Columbus unearthing a lot of rot
tenness and crooked work. The
first man whose arrest he caused
was Harry Lawton, who was
charged with blowing up the
county vaults in an effort to de-
stroy the records of the county.
Others run to earth by the detect
i've were Asa Beam and Jim Bax-
ter and Hugh Gavigan, charged
with killing a man by the name
of Joe Miller of Baxter Springs
and burning the old Gulf hotel at
Columbus, with Miller's body in
it. These men were also called
to account for other crookedness-
The detectives work resulted in
the conviction of Baxter and Cav
igan, but they served only a few
months, being pardoned out of the
penitentiary. Harry Lawton,
pending his trial, made a trip
East and one morning was found
dead in his room. 1t is. thought
he made way with himself.

Remember, when the council
orders a sidewalk built, it will be
cheaper for the property owner to
build it than for the city to do so.
If after an order is given for the
building of a walk the owner re-
fuses or neglects to do so, then it
becomes the duty of the city to do
the work, and charge a penalty of
IS per cent in addition to the cost
of the walk. 1t ia a good business
proposition for the city, but the
property owner can save money by
obeying orders.

In all the editorial comment on
Grant Hornaday as candidate for
governor of Kansas there is unani-
nous recognition of his personal
integrity and ofhis ability to give
the state a clean business admin
istration. Those who are we'll ac-
quainted with Mr.. Hornaday are
just certain that his stand on pub
lie questions is right. And now
Mr.. Hornaday makes definite
statement of his on those ques-
tions of most moment to Kansas
so frankly and clearly that it per-
mits of no misunderstanding or
uncertainty. That this is an ex-
preston of genuine conviction
and not a hasty concoction for
campaign purposes only-is attest
ed by the fact that the more i'm
portant of these declarations were
embodied in the resolutions of the
Bourbon county Republican con-
vention last year, of which reso-
lutions Mr.. Hornaday was the
author.

The only real sensible thing
we have seen in the Columbus
Enterprise for a long time is the
suggestion that sidewalks be
built along the curb line instead
of the property line. The Enter
prise says: Experience has
taught us that there are compar-
atively few lot owners who take
the same care of the grass plat
beyond the sidewalk that they do
of the inside lawn, wherefore if
the walk was placed out on the
curb line it would all be included
in the lawn and kept in better
shape. The streets in Columbus,
that is, with few exceptions, are
100 feet wide. Fifty feet or even
forty feet, is wide enough for
roadway purposes, leaving TWEEN
ty-ive to thirty feet on each side
of.the street to be thrown into or
included in the lawns of property
holders. 1t would cost much less
to grade or maintain a smooth
roadway of forty or fifty feet,
than it does for eighty to ninety
feet, besides the value to property
holders of increased frontage to
their residence property. Column
bus can be made a very pretty
town and the way to begin is to
cut out about half of the unkept
and add it to the prop
erty" The same thing should be
done in Baxter Springs, especially
where it is intended to build side
walks along streets which are
eighty feet wide. We have only
one hundred-foot street in Baxter
Springs, But if the people who|

NIFORM
GETS BLACK EYE
FROM THE BENCH

PROVIDENCE. r. J., April E-The
fight instituted at the suggestion of
President Roosevelt TO make the uni
form Of the United States army and
navy respected everywhere has met
with temporary defeat at the hands Of
the Rhode Island superior court. The
decision was rendered in a suit brought
by Chief YeOman Fred J. Buenzle. who
was barred from a dance hall in New
port on the ground, as he claims, that
he was wearing the navy uniform. Judge
Sweetland held in substance that be-
cause BuenZle was wearing a navy uni
form mis- position was in no way differ
ent from any other person. Court held
that at most Buenzle can recover only
the price of his admission ticket, which
was p cents. He sought, however.
heavy damages to reimburse him for the
slight upon his uniform.
The decision is long and complicated.
and establishes the broad rule that pro-
prietors of a place of amusement may
exclude any person they desire.
Buenzle was given financial support
by naval officers stationed at Newport,
and President Roosevelt sent a check
TO help defray his expenses. The Presi-
dent was extremely anxious that there
should be a ruling IN the sailors favor
which would teach all proprietors Of
places OF amusement that the United
States Uniform must be treated with the
utmost respect.

Lancaster special of April to Co.
lumbia State: Mr.. e. D. Smith, preSi-
dent of the South Carolina Cotton
Growers association, and organizer OF
the state association, and Mr. G. Z,
Moore, president Of the North Carolina
association, were here last week and
made addresses to a representative
body Of citizens, urging the import
ance Of an intelligent and business
like method Of handling the cotton
crop. Mr.. Smith was at his best and
made q profound impression on his
hearers. He was logical. earnest, elo-
quent and gave facts and figures
which were startling, such as these:
The only competitors of cotton are
flax, wool and silk. and the average
price of these Is SO cents per pound;
that S5 per cent of the cotton crop
goes to the north, British America and
Europe, leaving only 10 per cent to
be consumed in the cotton belt; and
that Notwithstanding the great de-
mand for the staple, the price is fixed
by the consumer without reference to
either the cost of production or the
amount produced. His picture of the
poor, debt-ridden, demoralized farmer
on the street with q bale Of cotton fol
sale on one side Of the wagon, uE
against a shrewd, we'll trained buyer
for some New York or Liverpool
broker was indeed realistic and ia
miliar to all who heard him. He ap'
pealed to bankers, merchants, law
yers, doctors and all classes who
should be interested to come up tc
the help Of the producers of cottoII
and build warehouses on the stocH
plan and hold the cotton from the
market until 1t can be sold for rea'
sonable price Aside from the In
direct benefit of maintaining gooc
price, the investment would pay any
where from 10 to 25 per cent on the
investment. He could not under
stand why the people were so slow tC
grasp the true situation. He was ask
ed on one occasion by foreign mil
man what method the cotton grower!
have of financing the crop and wher
he replied absolutely none, he wa!
astounded and made the statement
that the reason consumers paid ne
more for cotton was because they
didn't have to-" 1T Is my purpose,
said the speaker in trumpet tones
God being my helper, to make then
have to-" Immediately after the
meeting adjourned. steps were taker
to organize a $4,000 joint stock com
pany and build a warehouse at once
Subscriptions to the amount of $4,000
were taken at once and committees
appointed to go throughout the coun
" and solicit subscriptions.
