why, then, does capital pause
upon the threshold of investment?
The answer, we believe, to be plain.
1t awaits adjustment of the relations
of government to business. - The
sole problem consists of determining
how government can maintain an
even balance between aggregations
of interests, on the one hand, and the
whole people, on the other, protect
ing the latter against extortion and
saving the former from mad assaults.
1.-THE solution Is not easy to find
for the simple reason that the stu
alton is without precedent. But is
not progress being made along sane
and cautious lines? .

Young for Congress

The Jewell county Republican
sizes upzthe situation somewhat
the same as the Burr Oak Her
aid. as follows.
THE CONGRESSIONAL SITUATION
AS THE BURR OAK HERALD
SEES IT.
The entries in the congress-
ional race have been made and
the Republicans can now take
their choice. Congressman
Reeder represents the reaction
aties. The only reasonable
thing to do is to choose between
[. D. Young. who is progressive
but not ridicule inSurgent, and
II. B. White, who appears to be
going into the race in the posi-
tion assumed by the new woman
in the new tangled mode of horse:
back riding.
Mr.. Young has been active IN
Sixth district politics for many
years. He is a man who is re-
cognized everywhere as of con-
gressional size. His public
career and private life are above
lreproach. A man of firm con-
victions, he is absolutely fearless
in defending the right. This
| has been shown in his work in
the state senate, where he stood
as bulwark for his constituents
against the Infamous senate
| lodge We do not know how the
feeling is elsewhere, but in Burr
Oak and adjoining townships
in Jewell county very large
per cent of the Republicans say
that they will support Mr.
Young in the primaries.

club held a special session at the
court house Tuesday night and
completed the arrangements for
Decoration Day exercises which
will be held in Wa-Keeney next
Monday, May 80, a program for
which can be found elsewhere in
this issue.
The attendance at the meeting
was larger than usual and the
enthusiasm for a booster organi-
zation manifested itself by most
everyone present expressing
their sentiment upon the subjects
brought up for discussion. with
harmony and unity prevailing for
a bigger Wa-Keeney which is the
proper spirit when an organiza
ton desires to do things.
Among the most important
question up for discussion was
the necessity of an opera house
or public hall with a seating
capacity sufficient to accommo-
date from 800 to 1000 people.
This question was discussed at
length and several plans sug-
gested to secure the funds for
it's erection, the most feasible of
which was the cooperative or
Ipublic subscription plan, stock
company organized and the build
ing erected and owned by the
people, everyone who desires to
| invest the price of a share.
hn1inun tho hast
plan, as the building can, under
proper management, be made to
pay at least per cent interest,
the investment a safe and profit
able one and the stock can easily
be disposed of on the market
and it will not be necessary to go
outside of the county to secure
stockholders
The question of a county fair
and the celebration of the Fonrth
of July were also mentioned but
owing to the late hour, they were
tabled and will be disposed of at
the next regular meeting, Thurs
day, June 2, but you can give it
out now that Wa-Keeney will
celebrate the Fourth and World
