IN THE MINING DISTRICT
Former President Roosevelt on
Tour Of Inspection

Scranton, Pa, Aug. 3.-Theodore
Roosevelt spent the day among the
workers in the heart of the Pennsyl
vania anthracite regions. He met and
talked with the men as they came
from the mines black with CRIME He
talked with them about their homes,
their children and their manner Of
living. He talked with their wives
and their children and learned from
their own lips how they look at life.
He climbed to the top of a coal
breaker and spent half an hour there
in the sitting coal dust so that he
might see what the boys who work
there have to do. He spent another
half hour in a silk mill talking with
the girl workers. He visited the peo-
pie in their homes and saw how they
lived. He plodded two miles through
the dust, up hills and in all manner of
places and returned in the evening
black with CRIME, but smiling at his
experiences. The best part of it all,
he said repeatedly, was that he was
able to meet the people as private
citizen and talk to them as man to
man.
Many of the toilers had no idea of
the ex-president's identity. which he
took care to conceal. when possible.
until after he had finished his talk.
Others who knew who he was treated
him, he said, not as former president,
but as plain man who had come to
see them, to talk and learn their con
dition

CENTER OF RAILROAD WAR
Three Great Systems Rushing Lines
to Duluth.

In the coming six months Duluth
and Northern Minnesota will see a
period of railroad activity such as it
has rarely or perhaps never witnessed
before.
The secret of the activity is that the
port of Duluth is the prize for which
three great roads will struggle-three
roads which have hitherto neglected
this opportunity. These roads have
been making Canada their battle
ground, but the fight now is being
carried across the line. The roads
are the Canadian Pacific, through it's
subsidiary, the 500, the Canadian
Northern and the Great NortherR.

CONE JOHNSON.

Cone Johnson figured prominently
in Texas politics during the eighth de
cade of the last century. The first
time the writer ever saw him he had
Joe Bailey by the arm escorting him
to the stage in the opera house in
Fort Worth. 1t was at the memorable
Democratic state convention of 1888.
During the exciting campaign which
eliminated in the special election on
the fourth day of August of the pre-
ceeding year Joe had proclaimed pro-
hibition as a panacea for political and
private perturbutions over the prairies
of North Texas while Cone was max
ing the piney woods of East Texas
ring with eloquent panegyrics on per-
sonal liberty and denunciations of po-
litical preachers. The extreme anti
leaders, flushed with victory, went to
Fort Worth determined to insert the
heart of oak" plank in the Demo
cratic platform. The pros, smarting
from defeat, were determined to stand
together, and resist to the last the
threatened ostracism There was
prospect for a beautiful scrap, but
wiser counsels prevailed and instead
of fight there was a love feast.
After winning the golden spurs OF
in that campaign. Cone
Johnson voluntarily retired for TWEEN
ty years. Two years ago he re-en-
tered the lists, again as the antago-
mist of Joe Bailey. Since that time

Instead of feeling discouraged by
the disclosures of wholesale graft in
New York city and state, in Pittsburg,
in Mississippi and elsewhere, the
friends of popular government should
rather feel encouraged. 1t is not rea-
sonable to infer that the majority of
our public officers are corrupt. On
the contrary, there are the best Of
reasons for believing that all except
a few are honest. Graft by wholesale
is possible only where there is boss
who has complete control of a politi|
cal machine and apportions the offices

no man in Texas has been more in
the limelight than he. That he is
wonderfully gifted even his bitterest
enemies do not deny; and that he is
sincere all except those jaundiced by
prejudice admit But in common
with many men of genius he is err
ratio. 1t will be noted that since 1883
he and Joe BAILEY have both travelled
the same road in opposite directions,
each standing now where the other
stood twenty years ago. 1t naturally
occurs to the. mind that one of Cone
Johnson's opponents in this campaign,
Mr.. Colquitt, was prohibitionist IN
1887, but he is not in the same class
with Johnson and Bailey, hence the
fact is not so well known.

Palco, Kan, Feb. 15.-This town is
doing business in both merchandising
and grain. The big supply house of
George L. Tribe sold goods aggregating
not less than .$120, 900 in 1909. He has
been doing business here since 1890, and
he says the past year was the largest
in the history of Palco. He says he
never saw the country in so good a con-
dition, and the prospects for wheat are
more promising than ever before.
The same statement of the crop con-
ditions in this section of Rocks county
and that portion of Graham county
tributary to Palco, Is borne out by
the other business men and the wheat
raiSers as well.
Palco ought to have a Touring mill.
The wheat crop OF 1909 will bear out
the statement. The town has three ele-
Vators with a combined capacity of
rs, 900 bushels. These elevators did an
aggregate business in the year 1903 as
follows: The Western Star Mill COM
pany bought 81, 40 bushels of wheat at
a cost of $74,952.40; of corn this same
elevator bought 10,024 bushels and paid
out SIS. 1924. Total amount paid for
grain, $80,064.64. The Star elevator paid
the lowest for wheat Sc cents, and the
highest price, 81. rs; for corn the lowest
price was 4S cents and the highest 65
cents
In the same time the Farmers &
Merchants elevator handled 5000
bushels of wheat at a cost of $85, 52z9 5,
and 20.510 bushels of corn, for which
they paid $1O,97O3O. Total amount paid
out for grain. $s6, 1925.
The c.. E. Robinson elevator handled
during the year so ,251 bushels of wheat
and paid for the same $73, 425.41; this
elevator handled BITS bushels Of corn
and paid for the same SIS, 05S3 SO. A
grand total of $91,4s1.74 for grain alone.
In other words, there was shipped
out of Palco, in carload lots, in 1908, of
both grain and stock, 242; and in 1903
the carload lots increased to 349.
The above grain figures ought to in
duce capitalists to come to Palco and
look over the situation of putting in a
Touring plant. C. A Fessler, one of the
pioneer settlers in Rocks county, and
ex-county treasurer of the county, is a
resident of Palco. He has been work
ing on a Touring plant for years, and
stands ready to give it a big financial
boost. Et
There will be some building going on
in Palco this year. Among other inn
provements there is talk of the erec-
ton of a business block with a public
hall overhead.
Business is fine in all avocations.

FREE SUPPER FOR FARMERS.
Morland Merchants VIII Keep Open
House Feb. %.


Morland, Kan, Feb. 15.-The peo-
pie of this town will share a part of
their prosperity with the farmers of
the adjoining country by treating them
to a bountiful supper in which oysters
will be served. The date has been fixed
for February %. Morland is one of the
most promising towns in Graham
county. and the farmers surrounding
are fast becoming prosperous. Two
banks are literally supported and
three elevators find about all they can
do to handle the grain. The bust
ness men report fine winter trade.
No farmer need stay away from this
supper thinking the eatables will be
scarce, for every business man will
literally contribute to the success of
the farmers free supper. The mer-
chants say the farmers deserve this
treat. and they will spare no expense
to make it a rousing success.
In the line of having good time
the Morland young men and the farm
er young boys chose sides for a rab-
bit killing. Captains were elected
The hunt came off. 1t was dull day
and the rabbits wouldn't come out Of
their hiding places as much as was
desired. The hunt over and the rab-
bits counted, it was found about 400
had been killed. Oliver Waits and
Charley Settler made the best scores,
the former killing % inside of two
hours. while the latter proved a close
second. One side had to be loser and
the losing side pa4d for an oyster sup
per and hired the band. About $50
people sat down to the tables. and
while they devoured the oysters the
band played. The refreshment COM
mittee was as follows: Mrs. Cora Glib
bons, Mrs. Maggie Fortune, Miss De-
borah Prout, Miss Susie White and
Miss Genevieve Van Dyke.
Speaking about the farmers in the
vicinity of Morland, one of her sue
cessful business men has said: "Our
farmers are unusually successful, and
as a rule they are adding more acres
to their farms. The land Is not being
doomed out of sight, and the farmers
claim it is worth all that is asked for
it."
Crops were generally good last year.
A larger acreage of wheat was put in
last fall than in 1908. Thousands of
bushels of corn remain in the fields on
account of the condition of the fields,
made almost impossible by freezing
weather and continued SHOWS. The
outlook for the year 1910 In this sec
ton is promising.
