Among these diseases are typhoid

College Steers Winners

The ''fatted calf" has been
brought home but with honor and
glory and not for slaughter. For
several years the Kansas Agricul-
tural College has been breeding
and developing the finest types
of cattle and recently the choic-
est specimens of this stock have
been shown in the great shows of
the Middle West. Their breeding
has been for the purpose Of pro-
wing and developing certain prin-
cipleS that will advance the live
stock interests of the State. The
people who 60 to stock shows
and fairs should see models, not
only Of machinery, but of live
stock and grains.
The fat steers belonging to the
Kansas State Agricultural College
were exhibited last week at the
Interstate Fair at St. Joseph, Mis-
souri,, and carried off more honor
and more money than all of the
other herds on exhibition. AT
this show the Kansas cattle met
full herds from the Agricultu-
al Colleges of Missouri and Ne
braska and herds from ten or a
dozen of the best individual
breeders of America. Every steer
won in. every ring except one
steer in one ring.

and won the handsome silver cup

When the judges had finally
ranked all the steers in the Show

tariff is necessary now to raise a
revenue to run the government
on, why was it not then!
Any man Of sense, who is
honest, knows that tariff is a
tax. If it isn't, why does Mr..
Taft say that the present tariff
measure will provide enough
money to pay the running expens
es of, the government.
The high prOtectiOnistS tell us
that their policy will keep the
wages Of the labOrer high. The
fact is that it keeps the price OF
ell manufactured articles, which
the labOring men have to eat and
the clothing they have to wear,
higher, while there is not one pre-
vision in the tariff law to prevent
the protected manufacturers from
employing their labOrers in the
free trade labor markets of the
world, and they are doing so to-
day and have for the past twen-
ty-five years.
e The present tariff law will ne
ceSsitate the average family pay
ing tribute approximately of
800 a year to the protected
trusts of this. country. This is
about one-fifth of the earnings
or the average total salary of a
labOring man. Out of this 500
of the government will get about
ST. and the balance goes into the
pockets of those infant industries
you have heard of for the past
fifty years.
This Is all there Is In. the tar
iff question, and Mr.. Taft and
every other citizen who has inveS-
tigated the matter knows this to
be true. There are some Junk
headed fellows that are still try
ing to make the people believe
that the tariff is a great ques-
ton and hard to understand, but
such is not the ease, and before
the present tariff law is a year
old the people will understand
that it is a tax and a burden.
The people of the country do
not endorse Mr.. Taft in his stand
on the tariff, and if the demo-
Gratis put up a man for president
whom the people have confidence
in the republicans will find that
they cannot fool the voters any
longer on this question:. D.

A Terrific HAIL Storm
Sweeps oper country south oJ

lows in its path.
Damage 10 Crops Close to 100000

A destructive hail storm struck
the vicinity south of Tabor last
Friday at about half past six
O'Clock p m and in few minut-
es the hopes of about one hundred
farmers of due returns for the
many days of toll were put asun-
der. The hail stones began to
pour down at James Matuska's
and M d. Gardners farms which
are s miles apart and then pro-
ceeded eastward to George Ptak's
place on the north line and the
Mennonite Colony on the south
border and thence across the
river. The strip SO covered was
about FIVE miles wide and about
nine miles long, but the destruc-
tion of crops was complete; not a
stubble left any where. In place ;
the hail was as large as hens egg.
Many farmers report loss OF chick
ems and other fowls by the
stones. The Mennonites fields OF
over twelve bundled acres were
reduced to nothing and their da-
mage is placed at $4,000.
Fortunately many farmers in
the striken area already had small
grain all or partly cut and put in
shocks, thus saving it, but the
corn crop is gone. Old settlers
do not remembers so destructive a
