Excelsior Springs, Mo-, Aug. 10
Senator Stone, who is resting at En-

what he thought of the movement for
a Statewide meeting of Democrats
said:
81 cannot imagine sensible ground
of opposition to such meeting, but
| can see numerous reasons why it
might result in good to the party.
81 am always in favor of Demo-
Gratis getting together, and have no
patience with that pessimistic and dis
turbing spirit which scents danger to
the party whenever Democrats meet
and counsel together.
when loyal party men meet to-
gether, each DESTROYS, according to
his own view and his own plan of
promoting the party welfare, they
usually find that the other fellow is a
better fellow than they thought, and
that the supposed differences between
them are more imaginary than real.

glad to attend, if my fall engage
ments will permit me to do So"

EDITOR HANGED IN EFFIGY
Doctor OakfOrd of Deerfield, KS,
Angered his Readers by Rad
ical Writings.

Lakin, Kan., Aug. l7.-Dr. C. D.
Oakford,. editor of the Deerfield
News, was hanged in effigy by the
residents of that city Sunday night.
DR.. Oakford in an article which
caused this act, appealed to the peo-
pie of the United States to enter their
protest against President Taft's shak-
ing hands with "the Bloody Butcher
Diaz of Mexico" and said that if Taft
persisted the people ought to ''im-
peach the knave." He also said the
Government stole the lands from the
Indians and he raked the Christians,
whom he termed hypocrites. Like
wise he paid his respects to Ralph
Faxon and Senator Long in about a
a three-column article.
The little city was badly excited
and large number stopped their
subscriptions and took their adver-
tisements out of Doctor Oakfords pa
per.
The doctor for the first time since
his advent at Deerfield was unable to
talk Socialism Monday morning,
when he saw his form hung in the
streets.

SOLDIERS To FLY.
Missouri National Guards to Have
Aero Detachment.
Lieutenant Burg, Company A, Signal
Corps, to Enlist the Men.

jefferson City, Aug. l6.-The Mis-,
souri, National Guard will be the first
military organization of the kind in
the United States to have an aero de-
tachment General Order No. 10,
issued by Adj, Gen. Frank M. Rum
bolt to-day, directs Commanding Gen.
eral Harvey c. Clark of the Missouri
National Guard TO organize forthwith
an aero detachment to be a part of
Co, A, signal corps, St. Louis. Para
graph two of the order reads:
He Gen. Clark will authorize
First Lieut.. Chester E. Burg, Co. A,
signal corps, to accept fifteen men
who have expressed a desire to enlist
for this purpose.
Several days ago Adj. Gen. Rum
bolt received a letter from S. Louis
Won Publ of st, Louis, suggesting
such an organization as a modern
attachment to the National Guard of
Missouri. He is a member of the St.
Louis Aero Club, In answer to this
Gen. Rumbold replied that such an
organization would have to become
part of the signal corps, be subject
to drill regulations, and as the ma
tional guard is an adjunct of the Unit
ed States army in case of war, the
aero detachment would become a
part of the signal corps service. He
intimated that if arrangements could
be made for procuring suitable air
craft and the enlistment of enough
men, that the rest would be easy sail
ing.
II is the understanding here that all
these arrangements will quickly be
made, and the aero detachment organ
lied within the next few days.
Headquarters will be established in
st. Louis.
Massachusetts is moving in the di-
rection of an aero detachment for its
national guard, but Missouri is the
first state in the Union to organize
one.

About Our Court House,

AT a recent meeting of neighbor
farmers in a certain township the
question of ordering the election and
building the new court house for
Bates county came up and so many
and varied were the recollections
that finally the whole matter was
agreed to be submitted to The Times

the information.

BATES GETS PLUM.
John 7. Harper Appointed State
Game Warden Deputy.

On last Tuesday John 7. Harper,
son of Presiding Judge R. F. Harper,
received a commission as Deputy
State Game Warden, from Game
Warden Jesse A. Tolerton. The
position carries with it the perquiSite
of the three dollars per diem and all
expenses while on duty. Mr.. Harper
is strong, active young Republican,
well known as an honorable gentle
man, with plenty of nerve to back up
and enforce all of the stringent
mandates of this new game law. He
is broad and liberal in his views and
not disposed to bubble over small
details, but il is his intention, as stat
ed to Times representative, to see
that the laws are enforced in this, the
9Th Congressional District, to which
he is accredited. He insists that every
hunter must have license, and that
no game must be killed nor fish taken
out of season, or in disregard of the
laws provisions. To this end he is
calling upon all the prosecuting at
torneys, sheriffs and other peace Of
ficers in his district to assist him.
OF the big basket full of nice, juicy, |
lucious plums the Governor had at
his disposal, we had almost despaired
of Bates getting wee, tiny taste, but
it has come at last and worthily be-
slowed. We congratulate our young
friend on his preferment.

that no money from the state aid fund

The tariff is behind us. In many
respects it is imperfect, but the agita-
ton is out of the way and the Amer

selves to conditions as they exist.
That we are entering upon per-
iod of vast business expansion seems
to be beyond question. Consider for
a moment the fundamental condi-
tons in the fundamental business

crop conditions materially change it
is quite probable that the total value
Of agricultural products for 1909 will
aggregate IS, 800, 100000 or in the

than the total Of 1903, which was
nearly $400, 00O, 600 greater than the
