Why They Bought Fords

Two paragraphs in an advertise
ment of Dir. P. B. Haber, Ford deal
er at Fon du Lac, Wis, are excel
lent proofs of what we keep empha-
sizing. Read these:
''Dr. ]. P. Connell of this city,who
purchased a Model 'T'' last fall,
when asked this morning how he
liked the Ford replied: First rate
the first month 1 kept track of the
cost or gasoline, etc, and the entire
expense of the month was only
$500. The Ford car does not use
over one-Quarter as much gasoline
as my old car did I believe it is by
far the most economical car to op-
crate that is on the market, and
would rather have a Model '.T'' than
some cars purchased by our towns
people that cost them twice and
even two and one-half times as much
as the Ford costs. 1 was amazed at
the small amount of gasoline it con-
sumes. It's good enough for me-"
Another Fond du Lac owner
says: I have driven my Ford "T''
over four thousand miles during the
past season, and my bill for repairs
being less than $500. 1 have aver
aged one hundred miles on every five
gallons of gasoline, i'll fact, the en-
tire seasons running has cost me
I for gasoline, oil and repairs, trifle
less than one cent per mile 1 have
recently taken my car apart, and
find 1t in perfect condition. The
gears and bearings fail to show the
slightest defect and wear-in fact,
my car is in just as good condition
| as the day 1 bought it, and 1 would
not today exchange it a for a new
car. Before buying my car 1 spent
several days in Chicago carefully ex-
amining the various cars, and 1 as
sumo to say that I am familiar with
the construction of most of the cars
sold or used in this section, and if
1 were to buy another car today, it
would be>a Ford Model IT,
If Ford did these things fol-
these men, it will do the same fol
you. Go to c. N. Marshall, Medi-
cine Lodge, Kansas, and buy one.

The accompanying illustration
will give the Index's readers, who
have never seen Linotype ma
chine, an idea Of what q mechani-
cal type setter looks like. 1t re-
quired a great deal of hard thinking
to convince us that we could afford
to make this leap and even at this
period we are seized with a faint
heart, occasionally, in the fear that
we have bitten off more than we
can masticate. Frankly, news
paper is not patronized sufficiently
in this city to justify the equipment
that The Index has, but with the
amount of news matter put out each
week it is almost imperative to use
a machine-either that or curtail
the news, and we would rather close
up and move out than to do the
latter.
We trust that our efforts along
the line of improvements will be
appreciated to that extent by the
city's business men and the people
of the county generally, that bust
ness will be better in the printing
line, sufficiently at least to satisfy
us that we did not make a mistake
To own and operate a linotype is a
real financial luxury, and yet, il
The Index succeeds in getting the
patronage to which it is en-
titled, it will eventually prove an
investment. Time and events will
determine the result.
In the meantime, we invite oul
friends to call and see the machine
in operation and pat us on the
back whether you think our judg
ment is good or otherwise.

Union Meeting

4 A large congregation of people
assembled for the Sunday evening
meeting. The Rev. Howard Cady of
the Episcopal church preached a
most interesting sermon, using as a
basis of thought, THE parable OF
the Pharisee and the Publican. !"
The congregation entered heartily
into the song service. No disturb
ance of any consequence has marred
the services thus far. Some persons
thinking no doubt, they were far
enough from the meeting not to be
heard, kept up a conversation dur.
ing the preaching part of the ser.
vice, last Sunday evening, but we
are satisfied this will not be repeat.
ed.
There are preachers in our tow1
who have not had their turn anC
next Sunday evening you may heal
a sermon from another pastor i
you will attend the meeting. Specia
music has been arranged for an,
a grand service is expected.
All are welcome to these open al
meetings and we hope that ever
larger numbers will attend them.

Will Not Be Coerced.

The Santa Fe Railroad Company
ct least not this one-by it's bull
doing announcement that if it is
not allowed to elevate freight rates
it will cut out all newspaper adver-
tising. Any newspaper editor or
manager who goes into cahoots with
the railroads to the detriment of
the people is not fit to run a news
peper. Oh, no, Mr.. Santa Fe!
None of your policy of addition,
division and silence for yours
truly
The railroads want the cost of
production in many cases for carry
ing products a few miles. They
| want the earth and the fullness
thereof if they could get it. They
want to reap all that others sow as
is illustrated in the express iniquity
and the Pullman sleeping car mon
strosity. They don't seem to re-
alize that their piratical methods
are fastening government owner
ship of railroads by leaps and
bounds. And it is bound to come
soon.-Kansas Commoner.
The foregoing fits the Index's case
so well that it is reproduced to show
the public to what depths the rail-
roads will go to intimidate the news
papers. The Index would not have
lost its advertising contrast, had it
done as certain other papers have
done and are still doing, color
the facts in favor of the railroads
But this' papers convictions are not
for sale.

Moving Pictures to Help wagstaff

There are all kinds of ways of Sc
curing and holding a crowd. Tom
Wagstaff, candidate for Governor,
and Senator Charles Curtis, who
is accompanying Wagstaff, probably
have the most novel way. The
posters put out for the meeting held
last night at Garnett tell the story.
The posters advertise a free NOV
ing picture show "after" the speak
ing for all who care to remain. No
chances are taken by reversing the
program and having the moving
pictures first.
Free Moving Picture Show to all
Who Care to Remain reads the
poster advertising the Curtis-Wag-
staff meeting Come out and hear
these able orators. Mr.. Wagstaff
and Senator Curtis will be glad to
meet the citizens of Anderson
county"
Some one started a story last
spring to the effect that T. A. Nc
Neal was going to campaign the
First district in an automobile and
draw his crowds with a phonograph
The Wagstaff people had a lot of
fun over that. But Mr.. McNeal new
er thought of having a moving pic
ture show after each of his

May Extend XII. & p. Railroad

The Wichita Eagle of Saturday
morning is authority for the state
ment that an order has been placed
with an architect of that city, FIG.
McCune, for plans for another depot
on the Kiowa, Hardtner & Pacific
railroad on the Kansas-Oklahoma
line in the southern part of this
county, and that the depot is to be
located at point west of Hardtner,
the present terminus of the road.
The conclusion is that the road
will be extended west through the
southern tier of Kansas counties
and into the coal fields of Colorado.
We hope that the Eagle has gen.
uine "tip"and that the extension
will materialize at an early date.

Tom Mccullough Hurt

Tom Mccullough. formerly of this
city, was hurt while at work on the
Beacon building in Wichita one day
last week, and, from private advice
lately received, we learn that he will
be disabled several days The Bea-
con contains the following concern
ing Mr.. Mccullough.
Tom Mccullough, a laborer on
the new Beacon building, was
struck by piece OF hardeLed ee-
ment that fell from near the top of
the building about ten o'clock this
morning. Mccullough was working
on the ground on the alley side of
the building when the cement struck
him on the head. He was knocked
down and a cut an inch long made
in his scalp. He was taken to a
doctor who dressed his wound, after
which he went home''

"Uncle Joe" COLLAPSED

''Uncle Joe' Cannon did not COM
p1ete his big speech at the Winfield
Chautauqua on Saturday. Toward
the close of his speech the excessive
heat got the better of him and he
had to quit. He was taken to a
friends home and soon recovered.
His speech was not as full of wrath
as anticipated It is related that
the"fiery" part was reserved for the
conclusion and his collapse stopped
that feature.
The Kansas City Star reports
that the standpatters have decided
to cancel the Speakers other dates.
It says they have become frightened
at the "Czar's appearance in Kan
sas and want to send him back to
Illinois as soon as possible. The
standpatters, however, deny this and
assert that he will fill his Kansas
dates II his health will permit. We
sincerely hope that his health will be
good, at least while he is in Kansas

Poindexter for Senator

Editorial in Golfers for September b.
Just as in California the victory Of Johnson Kent
and others was a frank campaign against
government by railroads. other big corporations,
SO in the state of Washington the issue is pre-
dominant Congressman Poindexter, who is the
only candidate for senator not put forward by 1.-THE
interests, analyses the situation boldly His plat
form is the equal protection of the law for all cti-
zens equal opportunity for all classes and check to
those interests which seize public agencies. He de-
clares that certain individuals in the United States,
through the colossal magnitude of their fortunes,
control the industries and financial power of the
nation He does not object to wealth legtimately
cumuated, but he does an evil in the Standard
Oil fortunes, built up out of rebates and special IA
vors; in sugar trusts steel trusts built up under
the shelter of the tariff constructed especially for
them; in the Hartman estate, created largely by
stock jobbng; in the Weyerhaeuser and Guggenheim
fortunes made possible by unlawful acquisitions of
the public domain He points out that while the
sugar trust has been taxing the American people
for the amount of the tariff it has at the time
been robbing the government by false weights, and
that the steel trust purchased the Carnegie steel
works, estimated by Carnegie worth eighty-five
millions, for four hundred and thrtyfive millions,
depending upon its influence with the machine in the
senate and the house to protect it by tariff that it
could force the pubic to pay dividends upon i've
times it's actual value AS he says, with project
truth, the republican party promised tariff based
cost of production, but actually called in experts
of the steel trust and sugar trust, and cotton and
wool manufacturers to decide what tariff should be
placed their productions The insurgents stood
for tariff commission with full powers, such as
those commissions which laid the basis for the tariff
laws of Germany and France. The regulars opposed
the and cut down the powers of the commits
sion much they able. The state of Wash
ington has before it, in clear form, exactly the
issue which California, Kansas and Iowa have re-
Gently decided.
