TAFT BUREAU REPUDIATED,

Once more the White House
press bureau has been forced to.
back track. 1t was like this:
Franklin A. ShOtwell Of Omaha.
secretary of the Progressive Re-
publican League of Nebraska.
came to Washington. had a talk
with the President, and was quot ;
ed by the White House press bu.
reau as saying that Nebraska was
strong "fOr Taft for renominae
ton for reelection. Now it hape
ems that the league which Mr.
ShOtwell was made to appear as
speaking for, is "strOns" a.
gainSt Taft instead of being for
him. When the officials Of the
Nebraska organization heard Of.
Shotwell's statement they
promptly passed resolutions re-
pudiating it, and wired them to-
Washington. The fact is, the real
progressive republicans stand a.
g unit against Taft's renomina-
tiOn and every indication is that
II he secures the nomination a.
gain they will permit him to go
down in defeat. Then they will
make an attempt to reorgsnize tn
republican party. -

II. A. Brack. of Otis. Kans.,
has spent many years in the cen
tral' western part of that STATE,

seen crop failure. Some sea-
sons some Of the crops failed. but
IN those same years some of the

the kaffir corn" said Mr.. Brack.
who is the owner of a farm of
$40 acres. "This is one of the
years when We are saving all
our forage feed crops. Just now
farmers are busy threshng the
wheat. All the straw is being
carefully saved for feed for the
stock. Then we are looking af-
ter the cane and kaffir corn crops
very carefully. Kaffir corn will
make a good crop with a few
showers. We are in hopes that
we will get some more showers

70 SEE THE OILED STREETS.

The mayor and nearly all the
other city officials, accompanied
by a large number of business
men, visited the city of Larned,
Tuesday evening. to investigate
the condition of the streets that
had been oiled in that town re.
Gently. They have about six
blocks oiled. in different see
tiOns of the city and thus far are
deriving the best of satisfaction
from the work. The block that
had been oiled the longest. about
a month, seemed to be all right.
II was given a close inspection by
our folks. The Oiling was done
by an expert First the dust and
all loose dirt was removed from
the street, then If was perfectly
leveled and wet down so as to
make it hard and compact, then
the oil was applied. The entire
work cost at the rate of about
three and one-third cents per
square yard, and how long it will
hold is a problem, but the indica-
tlons are that about three OilingS
per year will do the work. If
that prove true, then it will be
much cheaper than sprinkling.
and very much better. Parties
living on the blocks say they
have experienced absolutely no
dust with all the hot, dry and
windy weather that we have had,
and that the general opinion, that
the oil would track into the.
houses, has not yet materialized,
the housewives having experianc-
ed not the slightest trouble from
that source. 1t seems that the
people of Larned have made a
very thorough test and are salts
fred with the results produced.
We believe it would be good
thing for the people of this city
to take up. If it can be proven
to be successful in one city it can
IN another, and it has been prov
en- successful in other sections of
the country. If it works in town
why not in the country? We be-
leve we have in this or Pf0pO-
sltiOn the solution of the dust
and dirt question on our streets
the state oil Inspector, while in
the city this week, spoke very
highly Of the results where it has
been tried in other sections of
the state, and urged our people
to take hold of the matter and
push. A bill was passed by the
last session of the legislature un-
der which it can be done. and
the abuttmg property be assess
ed for the costs. 1t would thus
not fall on the city. If it is all
right the city could 60 to the ex-
pense of Oiling the cross streets,
and thus be in line. We trust
that our city council will take
this matter up and push it to a
conclusion. The last six months
have certainly developed the fact
that We need something along
this line.

Don't wait for the crowd to 60
Walk straight up and say 'Hullor"

They salute and sail away;
ust the same as you and me,
Lonely ships upon the sea;
Each one sailing his own Jog
For port beyond the fog,
Let your speaking trumpet blow,
Lit your horn and cry 'Hullo!'
Say, "Hullo" and How dive do?"
Other folks are good as you.
When you leave your house of CLAW,
Wandering in the far away;
When you travel through the strange
country tar beyond the range,
Then the souls you've cheered will know
Who you be, and say "Hullo!"

The celebration Of July 4th as In
dependence Day, while national
holiday in Its general aspect, may
easily be doubly celebrated here for
TIE fact that Hot Springs Is due q
celebration OF municipal lndepen-
dence Day.
Within the last few months Hot
Springs has come TO realize that rs
present. its future. and its all, lies
within its own concentrated effort
and its effort has been successful
one.
We have probably in the past been
too disposed to expect results from
cher sources without united effort,
rather than to accept the hard cold
fact that success lies only in com
bined work, and that the fruit of
hard work is generaly success.
While the people of Hot Springs
are receiving congratulations
throughout the whole of the state
they might pause minute. saoot a
bIg loud cracker cannon, and say
"Here goes one for Hot Springs"
Tile booster spirit is mighty
power. Every city whose success is
admitted has been the beneficiary oil
a booster citizepship. We have Of
ten looked with enyious eyes on
other cities climbing to the front
waile we contemplated our own d.
ivded citizenship with doubtings.
The change was long coming, bul
ii is complete. We have began tt
work collectively for Hot Springs
and her institutions ana there il
nothing left now but to develop al
individual booster spirit toward eacf
other, which will make local pros
perity complete.
II your neighbor is successful to
day, rejoice with him, taking froI
ais success the knowledge that You
are being benefited too in round
about way, and that your day vii
come, and In return he will rejoice
with you.
Opportunity in Hot Springs Is
wide spread. Everybody should moi
alone strive for individual success
but should also strive for the sue
cess of his neighbor, boosting once
in awhile for unselfsh ends, and
when that condition prevails. Hot
Springs viii be given front rank n

ments.
