Impossible

Heaven help the man who i'm
AGNES he can dodge enemies BY
trying to please everybody. If
such an individual ever succeeds
pass him over this way that we
may look at his mortal remain ere
he yanishes away, for surely this
earth cannot be his abiding place.
Now we do not infer that one
should be going through this world
trying to find beams to knock and
thump his head against, disputing
every mans opinion, fighting and
elbowing and crow ding all who
differ with him. That, again, is
another extreme. Other people
have their opinions, so have you.
Don't fall into the error of suppos-
ing that they will respect you
more for turning your coat every
day to match the color of theirs.

This Is Awful

Commenting on the fact that
Hamilton county has a windmill
family, the Garden City Herald
says: And now, with Mr.. Water
man of Kearney, Mr.. Freshwater
of Meade, Mr.. Drlnkwater of
Stanton, Mr.. Waterbury of Fin
ney and Mr.. Passwater of Scott,
the irrigation problem should be
solved"
The Herald should not loose
sight of the fact that we also have
Mr.. Wellman of Morton, Mr..
Wells of Seward, Mr.. Lake Of
Haskell, Mr.. Rivers of Texas coun-
ty, Okla, Mr.. Bay and Mr.. Brooks
of Morton county. And if all else
fails; we have Mr.. Raney of Stan
ton and DR.. Showers Of Norton
Richfield Monitor.
And more than this Liberal has
Cash Waters, and Mr.. Flood, which
combined with Sweat, Fields and
our Farmers near the Shore ought
to give us a little advantage oyer
those counties. These are sufficient
while we enjoy our good Summers
and Falls. Of course it isn't our
usual policy to lnsinuate, but we
also have our Brewers, Coopers
and Tegardens.

Aggressive Efficiency

Once more the Democratic
majority in the House compels at
tention. 1t showed that it meant
business when it's members con-
ferred last winter and perfected an
organization so that no time should
be lost when the new Congress
should convene. 1t added to its
reputation when it put through
the Reciprocity Bill without amend
ment. in spite of the fact that the
measure was proposed by the Re-
publican President. 1t evoked
further favorable comment when
it passed the Free List Bill. Now
its leaders are trying to get a
promise from the Republican man.
ayers of the Senate of a vote on
the important measures that have
passed the House.
Republican leaders may explain
as they will. The fact remains
that the sort of aggressive eff
cheney shown by the House OF
Democrats is making a big hit
with the country.

BlackmaiIing and corruption in

Blackmailing and corruption in
legislatures can be stopped by
adoption OF the Initiative, Refer
endum and Recall. The Initiative
will permit the adoption of meas
ures in the public interest which
legislators will not pass either be-
cause they have not been br'bed
to vote against them. The Refer
endum will make it possible to
block the enactment of wrong and
unjust measures which the legis-
lature has placed either because
members we're bribed or because
demands for blackmail were not
granted. The Recall will make it
possible to get rid of members
whose actions indicate corruption
or corrupt motives, even though
legal proof be lacking. Under
these circumstances a bribe-giver
would only be throwing his money
away, since the act Of the Legis-
lature will not necessarily be final.
Consequently, no brides will be
given. Sessions of the Oregon
Legislature are not marked by
bribery or bIackmail. This is not
because Oregon legislators are any
more honest than legislators else
where, but because Oregon has
the Initiative, Referendum and
Recall.

Obituary.

James Erwin McAlister was
born in Monroe county, Iowa,
August Goth, 1875, and died May
10, 1911, at his home near Liberal,
Kansas. He leaves a sorrowing
wife, one son, two brothers, two
sisters and a host of friends to
mourn his departure. Jim, as-he
was Familiarity called by those
who knew him, was a kind hus-
band, o loving father and an ex-
cellent citizen. He always lived
an honest, moral, Christian life,
and was loved and respected by
all his acquaintance. 1t is sad to
know that death has claimed one
so young. 1t seems that his sun
went down while it was yet day
But he has gone to join his father
and mother who preceded him
to that house of many mansions"
a little more than three years ago
The funeral service was preached
at his late residence at 2 o'clock,
May 10Th, by Bro. Cornelius of
the Christian church at Liberal.
The casket was literally covered
with flowers, the offerings of the
Odd Fellows and friends. All
that was mortal of the deceased
was laid to rest in the beautiful
cemetery at Liberal. Goodbye,
Jim, till we meet in the morning
of the resurrection.
There is no death, The stars go down
To rise on some fairer brighter shore
And bright in heavens ieweled crown
They shine forever more.

The Life We Live.

It's waking and sleeping and
heaving a sigh, and watching and
weeping, and saying goodbye.
It's long hours of labor and short
hours of rest, it's helping our
neighbors and doing our best; it's
fasting and dining, and striving in
vain, and joy and repining and
sunshine and rain. It's laughing
and crying and darkness and light,
and wishing the dying a loving
goodnight. It's dancing and wall
ing, and battling with men, sue
ceeding and failing and trying
again. It's wooing and mating,
it's foolish and wise, it's loving
and hating, and dealing in lies.
Man says it is dreary as grave
ward he goes; he says he Is weary
and longs for relose; he says it is
hollow, deluding and vain, and
others, who follow, repeat the re-
frain. But | shall not hurry this
old world to leave; what though
it may worry and gall us and
grieve9 1t gives us good measure
of joy as we go; there is always
a pleasure to pay for a woe. Pm
fond of the mixture of laughter
and tears; I'd fain be a fixture fol
ten thousand years. Walt Mason

.ENGLAND'S ISOLATION
BY SHIPPING STRIKE
Uncertainty as to When the Movement
VIII Begin.

London. July 13.-RepOrts concerning
the shipping strike are contradictory. In
London tonight very little seemed To be
known concerning the threatened action
of the seaman's union, and the shipping
federation is taking matters cody. The
secretary of the federation expressed
the conviction that there will be no in
ternational strike, although he admitted
the possibility of partial strike, at diff
ferent places. This view he bases on
the seamen's lack of funds and Organi
Zation.
Havelock Wilson, leader of the strike
at Southampton, in a speech tonight
asserted that 10000 men will go out
Immediately. 1t was also announced at
all the Tyne yards that the strike will
begin tomorrow. Tom Mann a union
official, has arrived at Liverpool to
conduct the strike campaign. He says
however. that the precise date has not
yet been announced. Another strike
leader at Liverpool asserted that the
strike will be in full swing next week.
