LEE FRANCIS LYBARGER.
Gives a Star Lecture in the Stal

Our local Lecture Course-which
of course isn't all lecturcs-was this
season opened splendidly with the
musical performance of the Whitney
Brothers. Everybody was pleased.
They satisfied the adept in music and
they gratifed the less exacting in
musical taste. 1t was truly high
grade entertainment among Lecture
Course entertainments in smaller
towns.
The Houstons followed with their
musical and sleight-of-hand perform
ances, we'll calculated to please the
children. but hardly better than the
nicklcodcon vaudeville, of which we
are always getting a-plenty.
For variety, therefore, the Star Lee
ture Committee surely struck it about
right when they presented last Friday
night Lee Francis Lybarger. a capa-
BILE platform speaker; and chose for
the evenings theme his lecture on
Land, Labor and Wealth" In the
present temper of the public mind
anything dealing with the questions
of Labor and Wealth touches a pop
ular chord: and it is greatly to our
credit that We are getting upon plane
OF. intelligence where we are willing
to hear all sides. Mr.. Lybarger's is a
side that had not as yet been broadly
presented here, and the interest he
aroused in it with single lecture on
SO broad a subject showed how we'll
digested and pertinent was all that
he said. II is rare that a speaker talks
two hours and introduces SO little
padding" goes so little afield for or
atorical flourishcs and rhetorical ef-
fects. Mr.. Lybarger stuck to his text
and talked to the point. The intimate
relationship of the three great factors
of our social growth and civilization
Land, Labor and Wealth-was so
clearly and cogently set forth that
the wayfaring man tho a fool need
not err in Seeing the Cat" Then,
too. he pointed the rcmedy-the taxa
ton of monopoly privileges inhering
ing in land. Incidentally the speaker
got in few shots at the Protection
fetish. as the great helper Of the nat
ural resource monopolist. The rounds
of applause that came at frequent in
tervals showed a popular appreciation
of the points made by the lecturer.
OF course he did not clear up all the
seeming objections to his philosophy
that would on the instant arise in the
thoughtful mind.
Even two hours of rapid-hre talk
were insufficient to cover all the mi
nor phases of his subject. But the
most pertinent facts were clearly pre-
sented and their relationship as clear
ly pointed out. And to a clear-work-
ing logic engine the lecturer adds a
dramatic and forceful delivery, evil
IDENTIFY surcharged with a sincere and
profound conviction of the import
ance of his subject. This adds much
to his hold upon an audience. The
audience of Friday evening was one
of the largest our Lecture Courses
have attracted; and as whole it
seems to have been one of the best
pleased.

Petition For Lower Express Rates

Petition For Lower Express Rates
The following statement and petition
from the Rocky Ford Melon Growers
association is sslf-sxplanatory. and it is
hoped may accomplish the result intend :
ed:
To the Wells Fargo Express Co.:
Gentlsmsn:- Rocky Ford Melon
Growers association beg to submit to you
the following petition for your eonsidsra =
ton. without the long drawn out arRu :
ment As Is usual:
Last season we shipped by freight and
express $50 cars Of eantaloupes. which
sold on the markets for more than
sls6.5oo. The expense on the same
was over Slo4.ooo. The freight. ex-
press and refrigeration alone was over
$4,000. leaving only about Se2.25o to
be distributed among our growers at our
FIVE shipping points. You will see at a
glance that We are working at great
disadvantage. giving almost two-thirds OF
our products as expense. and believing as
we do that this enormous expense Is ,
great drawback to the development OF
one Of the greatest industries Of the Ar
kansas Valley. and believing that the
railroads and express companies are
equally interested with US in the develop
msnt Of this industry to the good Of all
parties concerned.
We therefore do respectfully petition
that you give US a new tariff rate on sx-
press cars to the principal markets in the
east and middle west.
Trusting you will give this brief state
msns and petition careful and speedy
consideration.
Yours respectfully.

TT HERE is certain mother a !
widow, whose earthly treasure is |

TT HERE is certain mother, a
widow, whose earthly treasure is
a beautiful young daughter of 16.
This young daughter met at high school
a boy of ga wholesome, kindly ma
tured, weIi-mannered lad of good line
age
When graduation day came, the lad
returned to his home in distant state,
where he was TO fit himself for college
Before leaving, he frankly confessed to
the mother Of the young girl that he
was desperately in love with her daugh-
ter and desired to become engaged to
her: that he wanted the privilege of
writing to her as his promised wife
The mother had seen the growing
affection between the two young people
but had not regarded it seriously until
the youth spoke from the fulness Of
his heart.
Now what did this mother do? Did
she ridicule this youthful affection?
Did she scold her young daughter
Did she tell the lovers that they were
too young to think of such thing,
that they must be separated and not
communicate with each other?
Being a sensible mother, she did
nothing of the kind. She smiled upon
the young man and said: You are
very young to think seriously of love
or marriage; you seem TO be a nice
lad. SO far as 1 can judge Of you, at
this early stage of your development,
I think you would be a good man and
would make a good husband.
$50 III Let You Write"
Il know my little daughter is very
be very unhappy if L forbid your cor
respondence, so 1 am going to leg you
write to my daughter and let her an
swer you. You may think of each other
as engaged and write to each other
with that understanding.
But, of course, / being older, realize
how many are the obstacles which Time
will intervene between your dream and
its elimination.
I'm all probability this young affec-
tion will not end in marriage. What
ever occurs to prevent it will be for the
best-if it is prevented-and the pain
which may result TO one or both would
be for your best development.
IF both do remain fond and faithful
until you are in a position to marry,
then it will indeed, be one of those rare
first loves which stands the test of
Time.
SO now you may CO. happy for the
present, and 1 can only hope that the
happiness will be permanent
The relatives and friends of the mo-
Their are almost, without exception, OBJ
posed TO the position she has taken.
They think 1t ridiculous that she should
permit her young daughter to be en-
gagged, and to think seriously of any
young man as a lover at this early
period.
Meanwhile, the mother has the com
plete and absolute confidence of her
daughter Every letter the girl writes
every letter the girl receives is shown
TO the mother. All her thoughts,

CRUEL, CROOL
INSPECTOR MAN
Takes Poor Mexican Wom-
ans Medicine and Does
Not Give 1t Back.

Sympathy was aroused at once. The
customs inspector held the bottle of
medicine in his hand, and the Mexican
woman exp6stulated gIibly.
Think Of il: The cruel hearted il
spector was going 10 take the medicine
away from the pObr woman. Every
passenger in a last nights Mexico car
felt sorry, terribly sorry.
Poor woman, She had gone TO Jua-
rez TO buy some medicine, just because
she thought Mexican medicine was good
for a Mexican woman. And now the
cruel arm of the "protectiOh service
was going to take it away. Awful,
TearS-at least something which re-
sembled tears-tFickled down the faces
of few passengers. 1t was very hot-
Poor old woman, Taking her medi-
cine away, And how sick she lo0ksi
Wonder if she'll die before she can go
to Juarez and buy some more medicine?
But maybe she hasn't any more money
with which she can buy more medicine.
Alack, alas (repeat three times).
But finally it was solved The bot
spector, and the woman promised to
return I'm three moments and claim
her medicine. All breathed inhaled re-
lief
Doubtless the woman will spend
week in Juarez so that she may take her
medicine dose by dose.
Or, will she gulp II all down and
pass the harsh Inspector with the medi-
,cine--but not in a bottle.
As the Mexicans say-'Who knows?'
