A DEMOCRATIC VIEW.
Fred Close Says He Is Convinced
Stubbs VIII Be Beaten.

Fred ]. Close, who was private sec
rotary to Governor L. D. Lewelling,
stopped off for day on his return trip
to Kansas City. after three weeks
spent in travelling in Kansas. During
his stay in this state he was in the
Second, Third, Fourth, Seventh and
Eighth congressional districts on bust
ness. It's Just as natural for the ex-
secretary to Governor Lewelling to
talk politics as it was in the days when
Kansas voters were rolling up big ma
jorities for the Populists.
when I stopped off in Topeka on
my way west. three weeks ago, I
would have guessed that Governor
Stubs would carry the state by from
twenty to thirty thousand majority.
Since then have heard politics talked
extensively in five of the eight congress
sional districts and I am convinced
that he will lose the state by some
thing like the majorities mentioned.
81 had a little chat with the gov
ernor yesterday and in reply to a Ques-
ton as to how 1 found things 1 told
him that I thought that he would be
defeated. Everywhere have been the
Democrats seem to believe that Sena-
tor Hodges is winner and they have
lined up solidly for him. 1 had no
idea that there was so much opposition
to Governor Stubs in his own party
and I can not see how he can over
come it.
HE seems to be figuring on the
Democrats deserving Senator Hodges,
but everywhere 1 went inquired
about this phase of the situation and
do not believe that there has ever been
a year when the Democrats were lined
up for their ticket as they are at the
present time. I think that the con-
ditions which I have observed warrant
gaining strength every day, and that
he will win with a nice majority

One-Fourth EmpOria Auto Owners
Mortgage Their Homes.

Emporia, Kan, Oct. 27-Nearly
one-fourth of the automobile owners
here have mortgages on their prop
erty. A list of auto owners secured
from the license book in the city

two-thirds of the mortgages are on

NE Time Loek Amendment.

The Messenger begins to-day the re-
printing of editorial comment Of the
state press on the failure of the Senate
to pass to the House of Representatives
the proposal of amendment to the con
stitution that would repeal the socalled
time lock clause, that forbids proposals
of amendment, except once in ten years.
The ten senators that stood up in the
chamber and defed public sentiment in
this manner will find these comments
interesting reading. Some of the news
papers speak right out in meeting and
call the names of senators in their own
county that repudiated the explicit party
platform pledge and ignored the mmis-
taxable will Of the people generally.
Senator Sheldon of Franklin county will
find these editorials very timely reading
and win find that he, too, is led by
name IN the course OF the comment.
The Messenger has all respect for CON
temporary newspapers and men that
differ from it in their view OF some pub
lie question or policy when it knows
that they have given some serious
thought and study TO the subject and
have arrived mt their opinion as the
persuasion OF a deep conviction. But
when it has reason to believe that the
other side is taken through sheer ignor-
ance. obstinacy, or a desire TO get even
with somebody for Zeal or fancied
wrongs, it cannot pay the highest kind
of respect TO the opposition. Senator
Sheldon has to all intents and pur-
poses made it plain to his constituents,
both in printed interview and private
conversations. that he has been glad to
oppose the adoption of the time-lock
amendment for one reason because The
( Messenger favored it.
In this connection, all the ten sena-
tors that went back on the party pledge
may feel reioiced to know that one OF
the leading third house" emissaries in
I New England does not pretend to com
ceal his satisfaction over their vote in
defeat Of the amendment! Why?-St.

Champion Ad Wolgast Promises to Give
Englishman a Chance.

Boston. Dec l5.-Ad Wolgast, light
weight champion of the world, has IS
sued a statement in which he announces
that he will give Owen Moran first
chance to try for the lightweight title.
Wolgast claims that Moran has no idea
OF fighting anyone or he would not have
signed three months theatrical con-
tract.
In regard to X. o. Brown, the cham
pion simply ridicules his claims for a
match and claims that the New Yorker
Is a second rater and is simply four
flushing for advertising purposes and IS
far from championship timber. In com
menting upon Browns victory over Tom
my Murphy, Wolgast remarked, ANY
one who cannot beat Tommy Murphy
ought to take to selling hair ribbons"
Wolgast further claims that he Is not
afraid to fight, but is giving his injured
arm a good rest. and when the arm IS
in condition he will be willing to fight
any legitimate lightweight in the world

The Time Lock.

For one, this paper is glad that the
state Senate decided to keep the time
lock on the state constitution. That
is one Of the things that it is quite as
well for the people to have to keep their
hands off We're there no time lock on
il. there would be a disposition to tinker
with it every session of the legislature
and surely the people do not want that
done. Better do without some things
we might have in the constitution than
to add lily considered articles TO it every
two years II there is anything that
should be sacred TO the people, it is a
constitution and it would not long be
sacred. if il could be changed at the
beck and call Of this one and that one,
every time the legislature met. The
time lock has served us well for the
last hundred years and il were better
that il was kept where it is another
hundred years than to change it and do
something we would be sorry we had
hastily done. Ten years might seem a
long time between drinks TO a thirsty
man but It might make for Temperance
and good health and while it may seem
an axe to grind, the job if a good one
cen wait The time may come when
the time lock NAV be removed with
perfect safety to all concerned but that
time Is not vet here, SO We say, BY all
means keep the time lock on the state
constitution.-Fa Haven Era.

PATIENCE is NO LONGER VIRTUE

Street Car Service.

Burlington. Dec. Complaints
against the poor street car service OF
the Burlington Traction company were
aired at special meeting Of the board
of aldermen last night, when Mayor
Burke presented the following commuu-
ication:
From sense Of duty I wish to call
your attention to an important matter,
namely the poor service that the Bur
lington Traction company is now giving
and has been giving in the past, owing
to a lack of power at intervals through
out the year. The cause for complaint
has become 50 pronounced that ! feel
that something should be done IN order
that more constant and better service
be given the public IN the future.
"in asking for better service ! feel
that I am fully justified as such service
was one Of the things promised by the
said company when its present franchise
was granted by the city.
There comes a time when patience
ceases to be virtue and in this matter
/ believe the time has come when, in
the interest Of our merchants and the
public generally, shoul& recommend
that a committee be appointed and in
structed to proceed forthwith in making
an investigation and reporting back TO
this board as soon as possible
Owing to the financial standing OF
this company Burlington j. fully lusti-
fed in insisting upon having the pres
ent conditions remedied."
The result Of the discussion was that
committee Of three aldermen was
chosen to investigate the situation and
report whether the company is justi-
fed in relying on the so-called tin" en-

secured either from Vergennes or some

Friends.

Cambridge, Mass Dec. l5.-Wearing a
huge bunch of yioets at her bosom, at
a table loaded down with cut glass and
silver with attentive walters standing
behind her chair ready to do her bid
ding. Hattie Leblanc enjoyed her first
supper outside Of the East Cambridge
iail for more than a year past, at a
fashionable apartment hotel last night.
She sat at Attorney Johnson's table in
the general dining room, while on every
side of her were evidences of wealth and
luxury such as her eyes had never be-
fore seen,
As Hattie entered the room with At
tornev and Mrs. johnson, there was an
involuntary hush and all eyes were
turned upon the little French girl who
was beaming with happiness. When the
waiter came to take her order, Hattie,
without consulting the bill of fare, un-
thinkingly called for her prison fare
bread and coffee. But before the half
smiling waiter could fill the order, Mrs.
johnson came to the rescue of her guest
and literally ordered everything on the
bill from soups to nuts.
After supper guests Of the house in
sisted upon meeting Hattie and so she
and Mrs johnson held an impromptu re-
ception in one of the small reception
rooms. Women in rich and costly gowns,
the cream OF Cambridge society, crowd
ed about the bewildered little girl to
shake her hand and express their good
wishes,
And as a more lasting expression a
purse was started which, within a few
moments, had reached goodly proper

she was visibly fatigued from the ex
ctement attendant upon her release
from custody. talked at considerable
length in her broken English, declaring
that she was very. very happy.
As she was talking the clock on the
johnson mantel chimed forth the houl
of and Hattie gave an involuntary
glance at the timepiece.

heard the elock?" she was asked.
