Sparing few steps required for

poor policy. A place for every

his state without opposition. It is
said that this is the wish of Bryan
himself, and it is a sensible thing
to do. Both Bryan and johnson
have strong personal followings in
the state, and a fight would cause
much bitterness. The great ma
jority of the members of the party
feel friendly to both men, and
would hate to see struggle of that
kind in the state. The reported
suggestion of Mr.. Bryan is in line
with the action of Taft, when he
called off his followers in New
York and let Hughes get the unani-
nous endorsement of the state com
mittee and almost certainly the
large New York delegation in the
national convention.

What Fifty Cents Will Do.

An enterprising engineer has fig
ured out the number of things
which can be accomplished with but
fifty cents worth of electricity at
10 cents a kilowatt hour. These
may be of interest since the pros
poets for day current are becom-
ing good at Willmar. Here are
some of them:
Light an ordinary barn or stable
with three l6-candle power lamps
one hour every night for thirty
nights.
With small motor attached to
the washing machine and wringer
fifty cents worth of electricity will
do eight washings. 1t will also do
two weeks ironing, using a six
pound iron.
An electric fan can be operated
three and one-half hours a day for
thirty days for fifty cents.
Two weeks sewing can be done
on the motor-driven sewing ma
chine for the same price.
It will light the porch light for
three hours every night for two
months.
Fifty cents will pay for the cur.
rent consumed in using the electric
heating pad three hours every night
for thirty nights.
1t will grind 1925 pounds of cof-
fee; broil 80 steaks; cook 20 rare.
bits in the electric chatting dish; fry
400 eggs.
1t will run the blacksmith S forge.
blower. for a week.
it will hoist two million bricks,
two stories.
A one horsepower motor will
run 7 hours at full load for fifty
cents.

Editorial from the Tribune,

Of Avon declared that conscience

momentary lapse or was innocent
of the ways Of the saloon-keeper.
Out of every one hundred men who
follow the vocation of dispensing
malt and spirits you find one man
like a bit of radium in pile of
junk--who realizes that the vicious
practices Of today spell financial
loss tomorrow, who has too fine a
sense of honor to continue to fur
nish drink to the man who is al
ready dead drunk, or to lure the
man who is trying to fight against
booze to violate his good resoIu-
tions. The other ninety-nine are q
pack of constituencies parasites
One morning last week, here in
Franklin, a man staggered aim
lessly down the street, stupid with
an overload of booze, and with alb
solute)y no sense of direction. The
saloonkeepers were watching as a
flock of crows over carrion flesh
for the man had money left. Fin
ally one of the saloon men started
to the rescue and with that
walk-into my parlor-s -the-spide,

more to the feast of more bad
booze, where he remained the rest
of the day. Is it surprising that

Houston. Tex Oct. 1T.-Believed to have been

f Webb a millionaire oil man Of this city, and
the largest operator in the Humble field, was
brought here to-day from Joplin, Mo, where he
was found working in zinc mine at a small
weekly salary.
Webb disappeared June a. and was traced
To Galveston where it believed he went
boating and lost his life. His partner. d. R
T2eatty was not convinced of his death, how
ever and continued the search, with the result
that a few days ago he learned that a man by
the name of ]. E Webb. who acted strangely,
was working at Joplin mine. The signature
of the man was that Of the wealthy Texan. and
when brought back to-day his family recog-
nized him at once WEBB cannot recall any of
his yyanderings 1t is believed he struck
upon the head
II is stated tonight that Webb was abducted
and taken to a small town near st. Louis
where he was kept hidden. According to his
story Webb's clothing and yaluables were placed
in a Galveston bathhouse to create the impress
sion of drowning. An attempt was made it is
said. TO collect $1,000 life insurance from the
New York Life, but the company declined to
accent the proofs offered of his death.
