many to counteract the shifting of
the male population to the industrial
centers is the employment of women
in agriculture. Perhaps no less than
5000, 900 German women are regu-
larly engaged in agriculture, togeth-
er with a seasonal influx Of 600,-
900 Polish, Bohemian and Lithuan-
ian women. Still prices for standard
foods, with a few exceptions, are as
high as in the United States.
1.-THE supply of foodstuffs in Ger
many has only been kept up to the
maximum figures by intensive agrl-
culture, the employment of modern
machinery, scientific fertilization, and
the employment of millions of fe-
male hands.
ION the basis of income, the Ger
man, in comparative occupation with
the American worker, should not
pay more than SO per cent Of the
prices he now pays for his food,
while he pays practically the same
as the American, with the exception
Of potatoes, milk and vegetables.
This condition is met by certain self
denials and by the economies exer-
clsed by the German housekeeper,

be almost able to live fairly wen on

sTuRRs, HAND SHAKE.

Great Bend Tribune: The people
will pay taxes again next month. Then
will be o good time to agitate the
Wagstaff cry: Revision Of Taxes
Downward" for Stubs raised taxes
and every man swears as he leaves
the county treasurer's office.
But Stubs is very clever; he can
give them a five cent cigar, and
shake hands with them in q certain
way and Fix" them.
This is all there is to the Stubs
question: he promised business ad-
ministration, and lower taxes, where
as taxes have been increased.
But he will be reelected, and taxes
will be increased again next year.
The politicians run things; the people
do not. And the politicians favor
higher taxes, that there may be more
money to divide.

The primary election in Ohio Tues
day resulted in a complete victory
for the regular Republicans. Every
Republican candidate, who stood
true to his party was renominated'
many Of them without opposition
The only congressman defeated for
denomination was r. D. Cole, in the
Eighth district, Cole played the part
Of an insurgent at various times and
he was defeated.
Contests were instituted against
regular Republicans in seven dis
tricts and the loyal party candidates
won in all Of these. Free trade pa
pers in the west have been publish
ing a great deal about insurgency IN
Ohio and other eastern states and
the result of the primary election
Tuesday shows there is nothing to It,
Insurgency is on the wane in Kan
sas and other western states ana
this will be clearly demonstrated
when the primaries are held. It will
be found that Republicans believe
in nominating Republicans to repre-
sent them and not party wreckers
and half Democrats.
Very little was published In tRs
free trade newspapers fighting the
Republican party about the result
in the Ohio primaries. 1t was not
to their liking and is in line with
the policy of publishing false reports
attacking the national Republican adj

What a lot Of tofnmyrot there Ii

Senator Ellkins said in a speech that
people who lived in Kansas or other
prairie states away from a great
river or ocean could not have a
choice between water and rail trans
portation and that II they want COM
petition of that kind they must move
tn some place where there is water
transportation. Senator Bristow i'm
mediately sailed in and delivered a
long speech filled with statistics
about Kansas crops and progress
all true and highly creiitable, but
really didn't Elkins tell the absolute
truth? How can a Kansas farmer
ship his products by water? And
If he is determined to ship by water
must he not go where there is water
enough to float a ship?

Leahy says Governor stubbs never
swears. Wonder when he quit? The
first time we ever met him he used
language that we never expect to
hear from man who aspired to the
governoHhip, and simply because we
had the temerity-to say we did not
endorse a speech he had labeled Re-
publican, but which was anything but
that. The air was lurid, and leading
Republicans were called unprintable

A TRIBUTE TO MRS. HENIsY.

Denver Republican: Mrs. T. G

of Is months. Brief services, con-
Quoted by DR.. David Utter, will be
held this afternoon at o'clock in
the chapel Of Martins undertaking
parlors, Colfax and Broadway.
Friends are invited, with the request
that no flowers be sent. Mrs. Henry
will be buried in the family lot al
Abilene, Kan, where final burial
services will be held Saturday morn
ing next. abe is survived by her
husband ami her sons, George v
and Lewis D., all of this city.
Speaking of Mrs, Henry's lovable
character, one who knew her well
said, last night:
ITO ALL who knew Mrs. Henry
the thought comes of how true 1t is,
as Ruskin said, that the best women
are indeed necessarily the most diff
ficult to know. They are recognized
chiefly in the happiness Of their hus-
bands and the nobleness of their
children. They are only to be div
ined, not discerned, by the stranger.
zone had to see something of
Mrs. Henry's home life to know her,
for into the world beyond her own
roof and the circle of her immediate
friends, she rarely ventured. But
even strangers could divine the no
bleness of nature which found its
best expression in the duties of wife
and mother. Sweetness, gentleness,
modesty, implicit trust, unfaltering
hope, constant devotion were the vir-
tues which all who knew here dis
cerned from day to day. Her long,
wearing months of plain but served
to reveal more clearly the unselfish-
ness of her spirit and her considera-
ton for others. She was, above all,
Christian mother, looking well to
the ways of her household and in
whose tongue was the law of kind
ness"

Wagstaff is endorsing President
Taft in all his speeches. Gov. Stubs
is criticising the national administra-
ton and lauding the insurgent enc
mics Of the president. 1t is pre-
dicted by the Wagstaff managers that
the governor will change his attitude
on the president before the campaign
is two weeks older. Wagstaff is sure
of popular support and will continue
as he has begun right through the
campaign.

VOTE YOUR OWN TICKET.

One Of the most important features
of the primary campaign is the plan
of the Wagstaff supporters to have,
as near as possible straight party
primary. Challengers will be on hand
at each of the $500 election precincts
to see to II that Democrats do not
take part in the Republican end Of
the primary election. Few people
realize how strict the law is in this
particular. A voter must have been
a Republican, must still be one and
promise to be one in the future be-
fore he cast vote for a Republican
nominate at the primary. Blanks
containing the oath required by law
will be supplied to the challengers,
and also copies Of the primary law.
II the plan works It may make a big
difference in the nominations. Over
$4,000 Republican voters stayed
away from the last primary and II Is
claimed that Of the 1900 majority
stubps received, most Of these votes
were supplied by Democrats. Some
weeks ago It was announced from
the governors office that many
Democrats we're then pledglng him
their support in the primary. II the
primary can be kept within party
lines ss the law eontsmplates, Gov.

GOOD SENSE in THIS.

In an address the other day
Speaker Cannon used these sensible
words:
I'm. 1912 we elect president, on
March the present congress goes out
Of existence. If were mere par
tisan, I'd like to see the Democrats
have full power in both houses SO
that they would be forced, because Of
their opposition to the Payne tariff
law, to enact new tariff law. Then
they'd have that to defend rather
than misrepresent the present tariff
law. They'd have baby Of their
own to protect.
III l were a mere partisan, I'd
welcome Dolliver, Bristow, LaFol-
lette and Clap Of Minnesota, Joining
hands with Champ Clark & Com
pany. But that would bring sorrow,
shortened wages and misery to mil
lions of hearthstones; therefore as
a man Of "A who will soon be where
/ will wear either a muslin or asbes-
tos halo, I'd rather march to defeat
in the future than to have our Pop
ulist or so-called progressive friends
reaping a victory.
~ would rather that we carry the
next house and senate by a sound
real Republican majority even though
we lost in 1912"

Just read and ponder over the fol-

within the past few months has lost

who still clings to her work with a
spirit that is all bravery:
BE NEIGHBoRLY
The home is for happiness. What
ever brings the highest happiness is
right and best. Do not forget and
abandon all neighborly courtesy with
your friends, companions, CONVERSE
ton, sympathy and neighborly visit
ings to and fro. Visit your friends,
and receive them in your home, that

Mrs. Kirkpatrick, the editor Of
the winchester Star and the woman
who wrote the above bit of philoso-
ply, has had more trouble within a
year than many women would be able
to survive in life time. Several
months ago her husband began to
fail in health. He was the editor
Of small paper, but he supported a
happy family and was splendid man.
His wife went to his aid and learned
the ways of the print shop suffi-
GENTLY to become an excellent help
in getting out the paper.
Then the Oldest son, nearly a
grown man, died. To relieve her
feelings the mother worked the hard
er in the shop and enabled her hus-
band to take his work easier and give
more attention to the remedying Of
his ills. She ran the job press, set
type and even solicited and wrote adj
vertising. In the last days of his
illness she enlisted the help of her
young daughter in the work at the
shop and divided her own time with
her husband at his bedside. Every
weeks paper went to press at the
schedule time. NJ
Neighbors in tn g little town look
ed for collapse of the wife when
the husband was finally taken away.
But instead, there came stronger
determination to maintain the week.

keep up the home for the. remaining
son and daughter. About week
ago the remaining son died. And
with a bravery that would shame
the heart of many man who has
edited a paper for many years, she
took her pencil and wrote the above
paragraph which is the essence of
gospel for the home, the Home that,
In her case, has little enough left
to call home.
We don't know how other people
feel about 1t but in our opinion there
Is no medal for bravery that is ade-
