Dick is charged with beating Police
Officer Frank Hitchcock at Great
Bend two weeks ago last Saturday
night. He admits that he knocked
the officer out, but denies having US.

is that of assault to do bodily harm.

waive reQuisition.
' The sheriff and the county attor-
ney have got 1t in for me-" said
Dick today. Last June was arrest

Startling
Figures.

A contemporary magazine takes
from the new edition of Poor's Man
ual the following remarkable figures:
On June 80, 1907, there were in the
United States 22S,12S milesof railroad,
nough to go ten times round the globe,
and covering the distance between the
earth and the moon. The capitaliza-
ton of these roads amounted to the
inconceivable sum of $1S,55S, 1881, 437
or about twenty times our bonded ma
tional debt. The gross earnings of
the roads were $2,6O2, Isl, 5OS, or about
three times the revenue, of the gov
eminent. In the fiscal year ending on
the date mentioned 1892 miles were
acknowledgements than those in the
empire of Japan.
Considering the astounding amount
of money invested in railroads, the
question arises: Would it not be well
to go slow with the conquest of aerial
transportation? What will become of
all this immence property if such
transportation should prove faster, as
we'll as less expensive. Airships will
need neither right of way nor special
privileges since space is open to all.
Fancy the loss to the business world
/ if this immense sum of money invested
in railroads and providing dividends,
should be lost by representing value
less property. We have heard of hard
times, but who shall conceive the re-
suits of such loss?
This is necessarily a pessimistic
view. This commercial age knows
how to adopt new inventions to exist
ing conditions, although it is difficult
to imagine how travel by air can be
reconciled to that by land or by water
'fThere is so much talent engaged in the
solution of aerial transportation and ;
sudden thought may strike the key
that reflections such as above do no
seem wholly out of place.

Our Friends,
The Enemy.

Four years ago when Fairbanks, of
Indiana. was nominated for Vice Pres
ident by the Republican party, a non
partisan banquet was arranged by
prominent people of Indianapolis. 1t
was held upon his return home, John
w. Kern presiding. 1t has now been
arranged that a similar compliment
will be paid to the vice presidential can
didate of the Democratic party and
that Fairbanks shall occupy the chair.
This is is as it should be. Political
differences are not, and should not be
allowed to interfere with the cordial
relations among neighbors and friends.
That community prospers most where
all citizens, regardless of political opin-
ions. work together for the common
welfare.
Whereas a political campaign is
bound to engender more or less strife
when two parties are almost evenly
matched, the apparent animosity is
temporary and evenescent People ac-
cept the result of the ballot and return
to their daily avocations and greet
their neighbors as before.
While it is probable that the present
candidate for the vice-presidency as a
Democrat did his utmost to defeat
the Republican candidate of foul
years ago, and the latter may return
the compliment ON the present occa
I. sion, although less earnestly on &C

reason why this non-partisan welcom

Since a large part of the crop is pur-
chased for cash by European buyers,
it is not difficult to see that our cot
ton growing sections are practically
independent from the North

The Olympic
Games Revised.

In the early years of the Athenian
or Attic Republic quadrennial games
were instituted in honor of the Olym-
pic Jove. They attained such celeb
rity that the chronological record of
events was dated from them. Intended
to promote physical strength and en-
durance, the principal interest cen
tered in such contests and the winners
name became honored and celebrated.
When the Grecian solon visited King
Croesus who, after showing him his
wealth and treasures asked whom he
considered the most fortunate man on
earth, his guest gave him the name OF
successful contestant in the Olym-
pic games who died after the victory
was won.
In 1868 these games were revived at
Athens, where the American athletes
distinguished themselves. At this
time they are held in London. The most
important contest was the rifle match,
in which the Americans won splen-
did victory evokipg the congratulations
of the president. In revolver shooting
they also defeated the contesting
teams of Belgium, England, France,
Greece, Holland and Sweden.
In the athletic contests our teams
are confident of scoring another vic
tory. Wherever we have entered into
competition of any kind in or with the
Old World, we have been very sue
cessful, so much so as to arouse jeal'
q ousy. The anti-American wave which
passed over Europe some years age
and which led to suggestions of con
tinental league against us died on ac
count of it's utter impracticability, ant
has given way to respect, which viii
increase by such friendly contests al
are now taking place in London.

tect American interests, the admins

1t appears that President Zelaya, q
Nicaragua, is responsible for the pres

President Bonilla, of Honduras, was
overthrow through Zelaya's intrigues
and government formed favorable to
the Nicaraguans projects. Owing to
the efforts of our administration
backed by President Diaz, of Mexico,
Central American court of justice
was created and established at Carta-

over international disputes among the
Central American republics. Revolu-

thO PiCoChl lAobdHCS,
appears to have grown weary of the
Zelaya influence and an effort is being
made to restore Bonilla. Zelaya al
leges that the governments of Saliva
dor and Guatemala are assisting the
revolutionists, and has entered suit
against them at the court of Carriage.
Judging from the success of his enc
mics, it looks as if Senior Zelaya may
have serious trouble lin Nicaragua

enemies. If successful in Honduras
the revolutionists intend to carry the
war into Zelaya's own territory.
