Votes The Wrong Way

The Globe thinks it's a dirty shame
the way the people of the United
States of America allow the express
companies to rob them. A little
package Of a pound or two from
Kansas City, Wichita or Hutchinson
will cost you all the way from 75c to
SIPS. Now if this isn't worse than
highway robbery. we would like to
know what you would call it? Why
don't our national congress or state
Legislators regulate h e express
charges like they have the freight
rates? Think of a barrel of coal oil
or gasoline weighing 200 or 800
pounds being shipped all the way
from Wichita to Meade by freight
for 35c which is just what one pound
will cost you from that place to this
if SEM by express. [ tell you breth-
ern, it's high time something was
done o'stop this fearful steal. The
Globe says yank the ''stufin" out of
this robber band known as the ex-
press companies. Meade Globe.
The above statements are about
the truth, and are much more radi-
cal than any ever uttered by Jerry
Simpson, PETER, Mrs. Lease or any
Of the old time Populists. We will
suggest that if the Globe will quit
supporting such men as Long, Le-
land and that class, and get over on
the right side something can be done.
The Globe like many others, talks
right, but votes the wrong way.

The Meade Juniors have the best record of
any team in the country, having lost only 3
games out of about 20. They are probably
the Gghtest team doing the base ball stunt in
this part of the country, but they are putting
up heavy weight games.
Now, why can't Meade loosen up and have
a tournament? The merchants certainly APP
preciate the efforts Ct the boys enough to
give such move liberal support, and it
must have suppori to succeed. 1t will bring
a good crowd to town, and besides it Will

ers who assisted in the game with Meade at

all the season, and the players have showed
up fine, and they shouldn't let that ..httle

Long Speaks i'll Opposition to
Bank Guaranty Plank

Topeka, Aug. a5.-Topeka is full
of politicians today, the leaders of
the Republican, Democratic, Social
ist and Prohibition parties being here
to organize for the campaign, formu
late platforms and ratify the party
nominees.
The Republican platform strongly
endorses the present administration.
state and national, recommends
Taft and Sherman and pledges the
party in the state to the enactment
of guaranty deposit law. w. R.
Stubs, republican nominee for gov
ernor, said today:
81 want platform crisp, brief
and to the point. wrote the pre-
amble like bankable note;
:" 'We promise to call the legisla-
ture together promptly and to enact
into law every promise in our plat
FORM Isn't that fair2"
Senator Chester 1. Long spoke at
the Republican meeting this after
noon in opposition to the bank de
post guaranty plank, Long was
offered the Craftsmanship of the par
ty council but refused it.
: 7. A. McNeal was then elected
chairman and C.. E. Denton, secre-
tary of state, was chosen as secre-
tary.
This was big day in Kansas pol
itics. 1t marked the beginning of
the campaign of the four parties pre-
vious to the election next Novem-
Der. All four parties held their
Council meeting this afternoon and
will continue them this evening.
The state central committees organ
lied in the forenoon. There are
over 1000 outside politicians in
town.
The democrats. socialists and pro-
hibitions had little trouble over the
organization of their committee or
the adoption of platforms. The or
ganization and the platforms were
cut and dried before the politicians
gathered in Topeka. The demo-
Gratis organized their state commit
tee by electing Henderson Martin,
of Marion, and w. H. l.. Pepperill
of Concordia as chairman and secre-
tary respectively. Their platform
is practically duplicate of that
adopted at the convention at Hutch
inson in the spring.
With the republicans it is differ
ent. They are having considerable
trouble over the platform. Three
conferences were held yesterday and
last night and only the biggest
wrinkles were ironed out. The par
ty council began work at noon and
the indications are that the work will
be completed this evening.
When the committeeman and the
candidates first began to gather in
Topeka there was disposition
among the anti-Stubbs element to
fight everything in the way of plat
form planks that are not parts of the
national platform. But this appears
to have died out to great extent
and there is in its place disposition
to let Stubbs and Bristow take over
the big end of the platform making
In the start it appeared that there
would be a big fight over the propo-
silion of adopting plank calling
for guaranty deposit law but it
now appears that such plank will
be adopted. However, if it is
adopted it viii be in such form that

Base BaIIism

The Englewood- Meade game here yester-
day was one of the best exhibitions of the ma
tonal sport that the local fans have had an
opportunity to witness this season. 1t was
the junior teams of the two towns that played
but they played 'major league ball. With
t'Dutch," Homer Graves in the box for the
locals, and Parks handling the horse hide for
the visitors, it was warmly contested game
from the start. At the end of the eighth in
ming the score stood 3 to in favor of Meade
but in tue first half of the ninth Enelewood
copped another score aud succeeded in shut
ting out the locals in the last half, which tied
the game and made it necessary to play an
extra inning. Dutch, always equal to the
occasion, let the visitors down without hit
in the tenth. Wehrle was first up in Meade's
last half of the tenth, and put on one of his
heavy hitting stunts and made first, stole sec
ond, McMeel sacrificed him to third. and
Tony Farrell landed on Parks for a hit, max
ing first and scoring Wehrle, which brought
an abrupt end to the beautiful game.
Following is the score nv nnjn0.

Of Japan unite in extending most
warm and sincere welcome to their
guests on the American battleship

ships and men to our empire is sim
cerely regarded as an additional token
of the unbroken friendship which has
existed between the two nations since
the coming to Japan of Commodore
Perry in 1852 Such round the world
cruise, undertaken by the magnificent
navy of our friendly neighbor, breaks
the record in naval annals and it will
be watched until its completion with
the most intense interest because of
its bearing upon the naval relations
and achievements in the future of all
naval powers.
II hope our friendship and CONNER
cial relations with the United States
will be more closely cemented by this
auspicious event"
The foregoing are the words of wei
come to the American battleship fleet
perned by Prince Ito, the foremost
man of Japan today, and above all the
statesman who represents the entire
japanese people. He wrote them care
fully with his own hand and affixed
his signature. in this message of well

the popular sentiment of the people,
from the highest to the lowest.
