coBVRN FAvoRs AUTO
Thinks II Increases Every oppportun'
ity Of Development.

Topeka, Kan.-F. d. Coburn, .secre-
tary of the Kansas board of agri-
culture, is a champion of the auto
mobile-and especially for farmers.
He says that the automobile keeps
bows on the farm. 1t is his opinion
that the automobile is one of rne
forces helping the "back-to-the-land"
movement.
There are few, If any, he says, who
have better reason for employing the
auto than the farmer.
Better cultivation. development OF
larger areas and increased production
he says are following in the wake oil
the use of the motor on the farm.
That it makes farm life less burden
some. more agreeable, and keeps those
in the country in closer touch with
the rest of mankind Road improve
ment is another important result.
Mr.. Coburn points out that the In
creased use of automobiles has in no
way detracted from the prosperity or
the horse industry, and cites that the
demand for good horses Is stronger
than ever and that prices rule higher.
He enjoys an electric car OF mis-
own. Its use is his chief form OF
recreation, and the many miles OF
Topekas paved streets know it's tires
What is the utility of the automo'
bile?" was asked of him recently, to
Kansas farmers?"
Plenty of them," he replied. For
starter, l will say that ore OF the
forces helping the 'back-to-the-lanc,
movement and improvement of rural
and economic conditions at this time
is the automobile. At first farmers as
sumed an antagonistic attitude toward
this vehicle, regarding it as a men,
ace to their peace of mind and safety
but already they have become us
most enthusiastic friends. There are
many others. hut have not time 10
mention them"

THE NEW SHERIFF HAS MADE
GOOD HIS WORD.

Timid-Thoueh at First 1t Would
Require Whole State Militia.


tia will not be called out to enforce
the prohibitory law IN the mining
camps of Cherokee county. Governor
Stubbs has found more direct anu
satisfactory way to do 1T. The ap
pointment of C. e. Bramlette, who
was named to fill the vacancy caused
by the suspension of Sheriff Martin
has answered the purpose.
There is not an open joint in Chero-
kee county, Mr.. Bramlette says, ana
he will pay reward for the dlsco' cry
of one. Where seventy-five or eighty
Joints flourished a few weeks ago.
there are now almost as many vacant
buildings, with windows boarded up,
the doors padlocked and a notice post
ed that the property Is now in tne
hands of the high sheriff of Chero-
kee county.
If would not be correct to say that
there is no violation of the law, or
that no liquors are sold or drunk III
the county. But what traffic is now
carried on is done after dark in out
of-the-way places with pickets srf'
rounding the "keg parties" to give
warning of the approach of the sher-
ifs men. And now that the open
places have been closed the officers
are breaking up the "keg parties ana
making that form of law violation SO
hazardous and Improbable not TO
mention the inconvenience 1t occas-
ions the drinkers, that the practice IS
being reduced to the minimum,
Governor Stubbs not only found the
way to get into the county, but the
way to dictate the enforceemnt Cl
law after he got in. The supreme
court suspended the former sheriff OF
the county the latter part of July. Gov
ernor Stubbs had the appointment 10
make for filling the vacancy. He call
cd C.. e. Bramlette, who had been
factory inspector, to Topeka, and ask
ed him to take the place and close Tue
Joints. Bramlette is Democrat.
81 don't desire the appointment If
there are any strings to it" Bramlette
told the governor. Il won't have the
politicians to name my deputies"
There is just one string to this ap-
pointment," Governor Stubbs told him.
'If YOU do not close the joints in sixty
days want you to quit and give an
other sheriff the chance"
'Jf I do not close the joints in less
time than that" Mr.. Bramlette said
won will not have to bring custer pro-
ceedings against me. l will hand you
my resignation"
Mr.. Bramlette took charge of the Of
flee July 80. He announced to the
ioint-keepers that they must go out
of business and observe the law. But
the ioint-keeeprs had heard that kind
of talk so frequently in the last TWEEN
ty years that they laughed at the or
der of the new sheriff.
He appointed Charles Edwards
Frank Lash, Fred Vanatta, Seth Ed
wards, Marion Petty, Verne Adams
Oscar Hudson and James Kenaston as
deputies. Some of them are Demo
Gratis and some are Republicans. With
the exception of Kenaston, who is now
in Crawford county helping to enforce
the law there, these men have com
posed the force that has made Chero'
kee county, as described by Colum
bus man, "as dry as bone" They
have done what it was believed thlr
