LONG is HELPING
Kansas Senator Is One Of the Advisers, Who
Is Assisting Roosevelt and Taft on
National Platform

Suggestions for planks In the National
Republican platform, along the line of
the Roosevelt policies, are being pre-
pared by Roosevelt, Taft and a number
of their advisers In this work, Senator
Long has been taking a prominent part.
The part Senator Long is taking In the
Taft campaign, shows that both the
president and Mr.. Taft have much con-
fidence in his judgment, and it also
shows that he is close to these men, and
in sympathy with their ideas.
Iu view Of the assertions that few OF
his political enemies have been making,
the above ought to be carefully consid-
cred, and ought to convince Kansas peo-
pie Of Senator Longs real standing with
the president, and his attitude toward
the Roosevelt policies

DODGE CITY BUSINESS MEN TO OPEN IMMENSE DEPART
MEM STORE SOUTH or POST OFFICE
BRICK BLOCK WILL Be BUILT
Stock Contemplated Would Be
One of the Largest in the
State of Kansas.

One of the biggest business IN owes in
the history of Dodge City was started re-
Gently by the Bargain Store people, who
have associated themselves with others
in town in the enterprise Of building q
large brick block, and launching a de-
partment store Of great proportions,
The past week has been spent in clos
ing up deal for the lots and buildings
from the Stubbs store corner to the COR
ner north, to be used as site for the
proposed building. The building con-
templated is to be Is feet by l25, and
there is ground enough in the the pur-
chase to allow considerable vacant space,
at the west. The entire space will be cov-
cred by basement, fitted up for store
room, and the building will haye two
stories built above this making three
floors nearly 75xl25, and 1t is understood
that modern building in every particu-
lar, including electric elevators, is being
planned by the men VINO haye formed 0
company for building up the block.
No announcement has been made yet
regarding the proposed stock to be car
ried, but it will be something unusual fol
a town OF this size, and it is understood
will be an enlargement of the stock car
ried by the Bargain Store, furniture
stock, groceries. and 10 size larger per
haps than the combined stocks OF severa
of the stores now here would make.
1t will be a pretty good trade getter fol
Dodge to have the biggest store in ovel

CIGAR FACTORY SOON
Illinois Concern Which Employs Number
Of Men Will Be Moved to Dodge City

The biggest sale of cigars ever made
in Dodge City at one time was made
here last Monday, when an order for
5000 cigars was tossed to j I. Guy, the
owner of cigar factory. Mr.. Guy SIM
ply asked for the order and it was hand
ed to him. Such an order as that would
probably prove fatal to cigar salesman
in this territory, unless he hal an ex-
tremely strong constitution. But in Or
der for this order to hold good, the own
er of the factory must move his business
from illinois to Dodge City, and make
the cigars here. He is to open factory
In the near future. on a scale that will
give employment to fifteen or more peo-
Pile.
1T. Guy, who was! given this order
TO. cigars, owns factory at Hami lton,
Illinois. He is one of the men who has
had his eye on the Arkansas Valley. and
has decided To get ID on the ground floor.
He has business connections at La
Junta, Syracuse aud other points that
will help In distributing his goods, and he
came here Monday to look over Dodge
City as prospective place for locating
cigar factory. His purpose is to get In
to a field that can be extended, as he
would like to work on scale that will
employ from thirty to forty men.
He stated that he would like Dodge
City to boost for him some If he located
here, In a way that would help him to
introduce his goods. When asked what
encouragement he would like he said that
an order for 10000 cigars would be suf-
ficient.
Mr.. Russell. of the Commercial club,
called meeting in the afternoon, and
some of the dealers were visited, with the
result that orders aggregating $4,000
were taken, and the remainder of the
$1,000 was guaranteed. This merely
means that II the factory is located in
Dodge City that the town will give Mr..
Guy a decent trial order. Dodge City
however will do more than that. II Mr.
Guy puts In a concern here that will give
employment to fifteen men or more.
It will be fully appreciated and the clti-
zens will feel like boosting for him and
helping to make the product Of his fac
! tory leader In Its line as long as be
stays here. He has been very successful
In business, and states that he will see
to 1t that his cigars will have a quality
that will keep them selling after they
are introduced.

DECORATION DAY
Fine Address by Hon. R. B. Mccullough Of
Anthony. Meeting at Opera House.

One of the chief dangers of the Ameri-
can people at the present time, the Hon.
r. B. Mccullough declared in his Deco
ration day speech at Dodge Citv, is
poorly formed public sentiment. It's
the age when few magazines and met
ropolitan papers are read by the majori-
~ of American people, and certain en-
ployed writers in these magazines and
papers are forming the public sentiment
in this busy age. The American people
are taking these statements as literally
true as to men and measures, and senti.
ment goes strong one way for the time,
then varies to another direction. Mr..
MCCULLOUGH said that the experience Of
this nation as known by the people
should be the basis Of forming public
sentiment, and that people should think
for themselves while reading the views
or professed views of others.
And that thought is certainly one
which should be turned over in the mind
carefully. Magazines are strictly busi-
ness concern as are the majority of the
metropolitan papers. The men who buy
the articles and the ones who write them
undertake 10 make their views fit the
supposed camor OF the hour. Ia COM
peting one with the other they magnify
the clamor, and thousands of readers fall
into views that are unnatural to them,
and unwarranted by their experience.
Magazine writers make big men of them
selves by asserting the llttleness of pub
lie men. The clamor of one season Is
dropped to take up something fresh, and
the readers follow the lead too often.
The only salvation under this system is
that majority of the American people
catch themselves before 1t Is 100 late, or
by short experience are brought to use
their own minds and think matters out.
Mr., Mccullough expressed the belief
that eyerv question which comes up, in
spite of all errors in forming public SEN
timent, will be settled for the best ulti-
mately, that the same blood which
flowed In the veins of the veterans who
had saved this country in the time when
ii took even life to do it, is still strong
enough, and will continue to be, to settle
all questions of the present or future.
Mr.. McCullongh's address, while Il
was in part decided departure from the
ordinary Memorial address, was an ex-
ceptionally good one, and 1t was we'll re-
ceived by his audience.
The meeting was presided over by DR..
Whitworth, who after the invocation by
Rev. Speirs, read the proclamation of
the governor of Kansas calling for the
observance of the day. The Star Spang-
led Banner was sung by Chas Hamilton,
assisted by the Dodge City band and the
audience. The band then played the
Blue and Gray" Patrol, After reci
tation by Miss Laura Titus, Mr.. Hamilton
sang "Just Before the Battle Mother"
Prof. Seymour playing the accompanl-
ment on the piano. Capt. J. L. Finley
read Lincoln's address at Gettysburg.
The program was closed by the audi
ence singing America" to the accom-
paniment Of the band.
The usual exercises were held at the
cemetery in the morning, In charge of
the G. A. r post.

LARNED DEFEATED.
Champion Western Kansas Team Loses its
Record Of Straight Games at
Dodge City.

The Larned Ball team came here last
Sunday with the record of winning
every game 1t had played this year II
returned home but 1t didn't take the
record away that 1t brought here. With
superior team work, and great deal
more practice, Larned was not strong
enough for the test. The visitors aept it
up for six innings, the score at that time
standing to in their favor. Ia the
seventh inning the Dodge City team
elected chairman, organized and OPEN
ed up business. They filed orders for
three runs, took and invoice and found
that they were close competitors Of the
Larned firm. There was dull season
and no trade In the eighth inning but in
the ninth business picked up for Dodge
and Larned was struck by panic. The
ninth inning did not have to be played
out and 1t was chopped off after Dodge
made two runs in the last half, leaving
the score Dodge 6, Larned 5.

Friday evening at the opera house and
was attended by large crowd. The

and white crepe paper extending from
the sides to the center Of the box, where
the year 100 was outlined IN blue electric
lights. The opposite box was decorated
In the Sophmore colors, red and white.
The stage was decorated in the colors

satin ribbon. The young gentlemen

Rev. j. G. Spiers. The commence
ment address was made by Prof. George
I w. Winans OF Hutchinson. This was
s6ne Of the best commencement addresses
dat has eyer been heard in this city.
Mnch excellent advice was given the
class which will be long remembered by
them Mr.. Winans has been identified
with school work in Kansas for half a
life time and there are few men In the
state, If any, who have had a greater In
fuence than he has in building up the
high grade Of citizenship which Kansas
possesses. At one time he was state
superintendent of Kansas and for many
wears he was superintendent of the
schools of Hutchinson and other Kansas
cities. His success as an educator is
well known over the state and he has
lasting influence with the young people
with whom he comes into contact. The
public schools Of the state owe great
deal to Mr.. WiRans. A few years ago
he retired from puplic school work 70
take the management of the Salt City
Business college at Hutchinson, an in
stitution In which his influence shows
quite as strong as 1t did In the public
schools. The Dodge City high school
