the increasing difficulty of keeping up with it. Hardly any kind Of

But the best speech Of the evening, because it was most pertinent
to the company and to the time, was that Of Judge Werner, who
said: "Why should We sit complacently by when we know month after
month there are men admitted to the bar who are mentally and
morally unfit for practice of the law"
That question cannot be too insstenty nor too frequently forced
upon the attention and the conscience of those that are responsible
for the practice of attorneys and the processes of the courts. Mer
that are proud of the ideals of their profession should try to live W
to them by effort as well as by eloquence.

@SV while Mr.. Roosevelts dedication speech last year
WIZ was very great and very eloquent, it contained alto
gether TOO little about John Brown and his famous Osawatomie
fight. Therefore they wish to have the thing done all over again
and done differently.
If the movement be approved and accepted by the authorities Of
Osawatomie, they cannot do better than to invite Col. Roosevelt
again to be orator of the day. They need have no fear that he will
make anything like the same kind Of speech that he did before.
Nothing in this country has changed since last fall so much as the
Colonies oratory. It IS a safe prediction that if given another chance
on the Osawatomie platform he will say very different things from
what he did before. Also, if the committee will exact a pledge from
him to say something about John Brown he will probably keep it.

The Value of Printers Ink

During the last season most un-
precedented and phenominal rise
took place in Trego county lands.
The county experienced a genuine
boom. Nothing like it had occurred
since the boom twenty-five years ago.
And that was not to be compared
with this seasons growth because
then the settlers were not prepared
to stay. Land values doubled, treb-
led and quadrupled in value. 1t

said, What is it? Why this sudden
appreciation of this splendid county?
When looking over the Western Kan

clear. This paper for years and years
has gone on its even tenor, not over
Dragging, not fulSome, but SteadfaSt,
true and unSwer wing to the interests
of that country out there. We be-
lieye most assuredly that Trego owes

we thought it bigger than the place
could afford, but that was long in the
past, always on time. The World

come into his reward in some way or
other. Much is coming to him from

Physicians tell us that marriage
conduces to longevity. Yet a recent
news dispatch gives an account of a
maiden lady in New York who is
clipper, sprightly and able to write
legible and interesting letters at the
ripe age of 1O1 years. For exactly a
century and a hundredth fraction
thereof has this remarkable person
dwelt in single bleSsedness, and in a
letter to an admiring correspondent
She gives as reason for her long life,
peace and general happiness, the fact
that she was never married. Her
nine brothers and sisters, she says,
all married, and all died long ago.
She, with only herself to look after,
still lives. This is certainly expert
testimony in favor of celibacy from
strictly hygienic standpoint. But we
do not believe it will lessen the mar
riage rate Most young people would
not be deferred from matrimony even
if they knew that a single life would
carry them forward, alone and love
less, to the twenty-irst century's
dawn. And in spite of this wonder
full old maids belief to the contrary,
there is no doubt that the majority
of married people are happier, health
ier and very much better off in all
respects than the majority of unmar-
ried people.

Advertising

Advertising seems to be an art yet
to be discovered by some people.
That is the practical part of it. A
constant stream of water from one or
more fire engines will soon extin-
guish fire, while few buckets of
water, dashed on here and there,
have little or no effect. The modern
fire department is practical, and has
outgrown the bucket system; and
so with modern advertising plenty
of it, used in practical, commori
sense and judicious manner, pays.
If you want to catch a certain kind
of fish you use certain kind of bait;
not all fish bite at all kinds of bait.
Not all people respond to every ad-
vertisement. The newspaper is a
medium indispensable to the majori-
ty of advertisers, because of its wide
and repeating circulation. As a pro-
moter of trade and profit newspaper
advertising is no longer an open
question: that is, when done in a
practical and intelligent manner, and
pays because of its effectiveness and
cheapneSS.

Kansas City Market Report

Kansas City Stock Yards, January
II, 1911.
Following the good Monday run of
$4,000 cattle yesterday, 1900 head
came in to-day. This was enough to
tax the capicity of the demand, and
while the majority of the stuff moved
at steady prices to-day, there was
some losses claimed on heavy weight
steers, ranging from ) to 10 cents.
The light steers held steady to-day,
mainly for the reason that when
killers baked on them saleSmen could
find an outlet to feeder buyers,
especially for steers of value below
Sc. co. Eastern orders have been
more plentiful this week than last,
and while attempts have been made
to pound the market a little, it was
matter of principal with buyers to do
it, duty that goes with fairly liberal
receipts and not because of lack of
desire for the beef. Any falling off
in receipt would bring strength to
the market. Top steers to-day
brought $500, and there was long
line of steers at $500 to 6.25, about
Is per cent of the steers at S5.S5 and
downwardS to $40. Feeder buyers
are paying up to $500 this week,
most of the feeders at $40 to 81. 80,
very few under S.. .25, stockers MAIN
ly at 80 to S5. so. Bulk of the cows
bring s4.OO to $500, few up to s6.25,
heifers mostly at $500 to $3.50, odd
head at $500 and So. 25, bulls S4.25 to
S.. 90, few at 1925, calves $3.50 to
$3.50. The time is getting shorter
for securing something to consume
the roughneSS some feeders find they
have, and all kinds of stock cattle are
selling exceptionally well. Stock
heifers sell freely at $40 to $3.50,
and stock cows at 1925 and up.
Hog receipts were far below ex-
pection today, and the result was an
active snappy market, at 10 higher
prices. The run was 1000 head,
only little more than half as large
as a week ago, and two Thousand un-
der the early estimate. Many load
brought the top to-day, S7.90, and the
bulk of sales ranged from $3.50 to
S7.S7. An advance in speculative
provisions yesterday was a boosting
feature also. 1t looks | ike safe
.s1roposition to buy hogs in the coun-
try to sell around $500 on the market,
as packers will not buy freely at
much above that figure, and when
they put prices much below it the
country quits selling, thus maintain
ing the balance around $500.
Sheep and lambs sold strong today,
following the good market on sheep
yesterday, and the decline of 10 to 25
cents on lambs. Some Kansas fed
western lambs sold at 1925 today,
and ewes brought S4.25, wethers
worth S4.75 to S5.75. The run is
1000 today, a sufficient drop from
the 10000 here yesterday to make
good market. There is demand for
feeding classes, but very little of this
kind is coming, outside of the partly
fed stuff. This usually ranks good
enough to attract stronger bids from
packers than feeders can afford to
pay.
