Old man Wowton, the meanest

drove up 10 the market place IN

ing enormous nests merely for the

birds 10 colonize and build one big

yards across, which is so admirably
put together as to shed the rain as

DEAD.

Breathes there man with soul so dead,
Who never to himself has said
"My trade of late is getting bad,
I'll try another ten-inch ad. "
If such there be, go mark him well;
For him no bank account shall swell,
No angels watch the golden stair
To welcome home the millionaire.
The man who never asks for trade
By local line or adj. displayed,
Cares more for rest than worldly gain,
And patronage but gives HIM pain.
Tread lightly, friends; let no rude sound
Disturbe his solitude profound,
Here let him live in calm repose,
Unsought except by men he owes.
And when he dies, go plant him deep,
That naught may break his dreamless sleep
Where no rude clamor may dispel
The quiet that he loved so we'll.
And when the world may know its loss,
Place on his grave wreath of moss,
And on stone above, "Here lies
A chump who wouldn't ADVERTISE

toward the organization of that

Cochran of the Pratt Republican

it would work to much advant-

It's About Time to Kick.

For at least five years now
the powers at Washington have
been playing leap frog with our
little General Funston, with this
difference: In the regular game
every fellow has the right to
Jump over some other fellows
back as often as the other fellow
jumps over his, but in this mill
tary game Funston has been
compelled to stay still with his
back bumped up while process
sion of men of lower rank Jump
ed gaily over his bent form into
the ranks of ma or generals.
At first the excuse was given
that there we're a lot of war
veterans who were near the age
of retirement, anyway and if
they had to wait their regular
turn they would never reach the
rank of major general. Funston,
they said, was a young man and
could wait until the old boys
were taken care of. This looked
sort of reasonable, and neither
Funston nor the Kansas reople
made any kick, but lately the
men who have jumped over him
have not been Civil war veterans.
They have been men who never
saw half the service that Funston
has seen.
There is growing impression
that the Kansas general isn't
getting a fair deal. He has
made good wherever he has been
tried. AS a commander in the
field he has a record as good as
any of them, and when it requir-
ed grompt action and plenty of
good horse sense, as in the case
of the San Francisco earthquake,
he showed that he was the right
man IN the right place. He is
entitled to promotion, and has
been for the past four years, for
that matter.
Somebody at Washington has
a political pull that is sufficient
to hold Funston where he is and
jump other men over him. 1t is
time to roar. Tom McNeal in
Mail and Breeze.

Secretary OF Agriculture Will
son blames the homesteader of
the west in part for the high
cost of living, claiming that the
said homesteader has broken up
the range causing a big advance
in meat prices. Of course some
reason must be assigned and
since the homesteader is the
most defenseless person to be
found handy he must bear the
burden. M. Wilson probably
does not take into consideration
the great quantity of wheat and
other cereals produced by these
homesteaders, which should
more than Offset the meat pro-
position, and the futher fact that
whereas less cattle may be raised
more hogs are being produced
since the homesteader has taken
up the land which makes his
argument look little short Of
ridiculous.
