ERIE CONVENTION

The convention at Erie, last Tues
day for selecting delegates to the
Parsons and Topeka conventions
was quite we'll attended, notwith.-
standing the stormy conditions that
prevailed.
The larger part of the crowd pre-
sent came from Chanute and near
by points. There were at least 50
Chanuteites who went down on the
morning train, most of them dele
gates and alternates. Mr.. S. C..
Brown of this city was made chair
man Mr.. Dsnius of the Record,
secretary. There was lively dis
cussion over several polnts that
came up but in TIE end the delegates
seemed to get we'll together.
Chaunte Jared better in the con-
ventiou than she expected or asked.
She claimed the right to select
eight delegates to the conventions
to nominate delegates to Chicago
and was given ten, so we ought to
feel happy and no inclination to
kick.
A resolution was pas'd indorsing
Taft for presiaent and also one
strongly nrging Judge Stlllwell as a
delegate to the National INVENTION
and instructing The Neosho county

VOYAGE OF FLFFT AMERICAS AFFAIR

tlere has been all sorts of specula

voyage, but always thought that t
most reasonable one we can attri-
butte is a naval maneuver on a graz d
scale. The United States is a
country of the most pacific inter
tens as has been well proved by his

New Ulm Review.
The law passed by the last legisla-
ture. providing that two per cent of
the income arising in the various
municipalities of the state from the
licensing Of saloons be sent to the
state treasurer for the maintenance
of farm and hospital for habitual
drunkards is constitutional.
The state supreme court SO decid-
ed on Friday in case brought by
the board of control against the
city of Morris.
The Morris authorities refused to
puy the assessment against the city's
incomeon the ground that the money
was not subject to taxation and that
the state had no constitutional right
to provide a hospital for a man be-
cause he drank too much.
The court, however, inian opinion
rendered by Chief Justice Start,
takes the position that the legisla-
ture alone gave the cities the right
to license liquor selling.and that the
power which gives has the power to
take away. Furthermore, it holds
that the method of commitment to
the inebriate institution carefully
protects the constitutional rights of
the Individual and there can be no
question but that the state has a
right to exercise this paternal over
sight.
The board of control will therefore
be able to proceed with the location
and erection Of the proposed hospi-
tai as soon as the necessary amount
of funds have accumulated in the
state treasury. At present it is es-
timated that there is in the neigh
borhood Of $50, 900 available.

Other Fields Enticing.

Isn't it strange that the country
we read about is just little more
enticing than that in which we live?
Man is a victim of the moving habit.
Instead of remaining on the farm
where our grandfather was born and
reared his family we want to move
to the field just beyond our horizon.
1t. looks green in the distance as we
approach. Then when we have
reached the much to be desired new
home, we see the flaws, the blem-
ishes which mar the landscape, and
the stumps and the thorns. We look
back and we regret that we have left
our home behind, have installed an
other in the place which the pleas
ures Of work have made dear to us.
We stay for a while, then the spirit
OF unrest takes strangle hold on us
and we pull up stakes again for the
land where all is serene in magma
ton and where the dollars roll to our
door without a struggle.
Fortune smiles upon the man who
has carved out a niche for himself
whether it be in a new or old country.
One regrets to lose old friends, it
makes the heart ache to face strange
faces and not see one man whom we
can call upon in times of stress or
trouble, and he is a brave soul who
can weather the storms mistaken,
who heroically struggles to gain a;
foothold in the hearts of the COM
munity into which he moves, and is
in the end successful. Many moves
make lean purses and every one of
these moves takes some of the vim
and Ego" out of a man.
Give the new man hearty well
come and let him understand that as
long as he is square" and is not a
dead one, he will be one of us. and
will be met with hand clasp which
means something. Cheer up the
newcomer-he has a hard row to
hoe, at the start, and he needs it.
To the latter we would say, when
coming to this country, grit your
teeth and stay if it half kills you to
gain a foothold. -Turlock (Cal.)

River Improvement Meeting.

Property owners along the Mime
sofa valley, who have suffered crop
losses and whose lands have depreci-
ated in value by reason of the heavy
floods Of recent years, are interested
in a meeting Of the Minnesota River
Improvement league, which was
held at Jordan yesterday.
The committee appointed to in
vestigate conditionsin the inundated
district made a report showing to
what extent. low-lying farms have
been damaged by the high water.
Statistics have been compiled show
ing the losses from Big Stone lake to
Fort Snellings and the aggregate is
an enormous one.
Leaders of the movement to- se-
cure river improvement declare that
in addition to causing heavy losses
to farmers and land owners, the an
nually recurring floods are a menace
to public health. In proof Of their
contention they point to the present
TYPHOID fever epidemic at Mankato,
declaring that it was caused by the
water backing up into the sewer
system and polluting the city's wat
er supply.
Last winter the improvement
league memorialized congress to aid
in deepening, widening and straight
ening the channel of the Minnesota
river, thus expecting the flow Of
the water down the valley, and at
