preachers and other professional men
but the development and influence of
religious and educational movements
depend on the successful work of the
producer and merchants. Learning
could do little without the support of
commercial and Industrial enterprises.
The most pressing question asked of
education is, "Will it make the pupil
self-supporting? els the training
practical, suitable to his talents and
needs?' 1t is recognized that profess
slonal life is bettered If the masses are
intelligent and self-sustaining. A good
industrial foundation makes for the
best type of citizenship, begets habits
OF thrift, economy and industry. This
training inculcates a respect for labor,
the principles of perseverance and self
reliance. In a community where
teacher or preacher finds intelligent
mechanics, manufacturers, educated
contractors, the appreciation and arous-
ing of sympathy makes life pleasure
instead of a burden. At present much
industrial training is obtained from
funds left by charitable and far-sighted
individuals. These accomplish much
good, but much more benefit will be de-
rived when the plan recently advocated
by Samuel Gompers will be put into
execution. When asked recently re-
gard1ng industrial training institutions
conducted by charitable or manufacture
ing interests, his answer was:
Such institutions as a rule are hos
tile and injurious to the interests of
Ihe workers. Organized labor approves

Liberal Wins

Last Monday night the L. A. G.
and the Bucklin Tigers basket bal
teams met on the Liberal field. The
Tigers were confident of repeating
what they did at Bucklin, but the
fast clever work of the Liberalites
proved to much for them and they
were defeated by score of % tc
IA. The first score was made BY
Bucklin during the first few
minutes of the game by dint Of
hard playing. However Liberal
soon got the lead which they
managed to keep to the end.
In spite of the fact that the
game was we'll advertised only 8
small crowd was present, which is
not much credit to the Liberia
people who should Justly be proud
Of the hard work and good playing
the boys are doing. Features Of
the game we're the lack of rough
ness and fouls and the clever goa
throwing of Funk, Liberals left
forward. Taken as a whole the
game was the best ever played in
Liberal and was a fine exhibition OF
basket ball. The next game here
will be on Saturday, Feb. IL, with
Tyrone which has very fast team
and the game will no doubt be a
good one.

Half Million in 1910
Rock Island Receipts Here
Are Over That Mark
For The Past Year

While we are receiving more
than the usual amount of attention
from the Rock Island this year, it
is we'll to note in passing that we
have in a measure merited the re-
ward it is giving us. The freight
receipts here show $412, 500. "a for
the year 1910. This includes only
the amount received by the rail-
roads for freight shipped to this
station. There we're $50 cars of
wheat, 8 cars of corn, 4 cars of
oats, Is cars of other grain, 219
cars of horses, cattle and mules,
IS cars of hogs, $40 cars of broom
corn, and l42 cars of miscellane-
Gus goods shipped from this point
last year. These are not included
in the above estimate.
The receipts for January of this
year show a nice increase over
1910, being $53,73l.93, for this
last month, a net increase of $27,-
019.33 over the corresponding
month of last year.
This volume of business b as
justified the great expenditure the
company has placed here this sea-
son. We are also informed un-
officially that plans for a new
freight depot for Liberal are well
under way. The construction of
new quarters may be started early
this spring. If the new depot is
not built there will be additions
added to the present freight house.

Still Liberal Grows
Recent Census Shows it to be
a City of the Second Class

Mrs. j. Karau, the city clerk
finished the city census last Tues
day night and found that we had
a population of 2,l74. This, ac-
cording to the statutes of 1909
puts the city of Liberal into the
second class. The authorities will
have to make a return to the Gov
ernor, who will issue a special
proclamation declaring the town
to be a city of the second class.
This will put us under a slightly
different get of laws, and will
enable US to have the commission
form of government if we want it.
The election to decide on whether
or not she will have the commits
sion form of government will soon
be held in Pratt.
Mrs. Karau deserves commenda-
tion for the rapidity with which
she has completed the difficult
work. 1t is generally believed
that this is the most accurate
enumeration of tho population OF
the city ever taken. The work
has been made more difficult by the
character Of the population of the
town. This being railroad point,
many who were in the city at the
time the count was taken were
residents of other towns. The
work of separating the sheep from
the goats has progressed rapidly
under her management, and it is
thought that this will be the last
census taken under city manage.

A Joke On Youst
His Detective Work Again
Proves Unfruitful

Last Friday afternoon, Marshall
Youst was near the station when
No. / came in. He had his eagle
eye on the passengers as they got
off the train, and finally he saw one
that didn't exactly fit into, his idea
of an entirely commonplace trav-
eler. The Marshall brimming over
with the dignity and authority of
his office, walked up to the ques-
tionable passenger, and went with
him to the Carson House, where
Youst asked to examine the fell
lows grip. The man very natural
ly refused, so placing the suspect
under the charge of the sheriff the
city officer started out after a
search warrant. The county at
torney,, to whom he went after
failing to find the city attorney,
asked Youst of what he suspected
the man, Youst replied, well,
he is pretty we'll dressed fellow
and he carried a very heavy grip,
so | believe he is a bootleggeT with
grip full of whiskey." On this
evidence, Attorney Commons re-
fused to issue the search warrant.
so the city attorney was hunted up
and the warrant issued. In q few
| minutes, Youst was at his job OF
examining the contents of the very
suspiciously heavy suitcase. He
found-my but it was awful-a
full and complete photograph out
fit, together with few articles OF
clothing. and only one bottle of
LIQUID. This he was told by Chas.
Franklin, the owner of the grip,
was only developer for the camera
outfit. Mr.. Franklin was on his
way to his home at Gray, Okla.
and took the joke on Youst as
sufficient payment for the trouble
he had been subjected to, while be-
ing detained by the Liberal sleuth.
In the past week there have been
numerous cases of drunkenness on
the streets, yet in every instance
the marshall has been some where
else" If he is not able to look
after the Office, we suggest that he
read the story of Mike Reilly of
the Kansas City police force, who
resigned when he was unable to
efficiently fill the position he held
there.

A BAD MIDDLE
Railroad Wants Townships
to Give Back Stock.

lne VARIOUS IOWnSllIpS III DCOUU
county which have voted bonds
for stock to help build the Gar.
den City, Gulf g Northern rail
way, now In operation between
Garden City and Scott City, are
now being asked to give the stock
back to the railroad company.
Each township is asked to sell
the $4,000 worth of stock held by
each, for $500. Scott township
has already held special election,
and voted t he proposition down.
Valley township will take vote
on it Feb. 81.
The attempt on the part of the
railway company to recover the
stock is causing a lot of feeling in
the county. President M c G u e
and Vice President Tennis, of the
railway company, who. are here
looking after the matter, argue
that the company needs this capital
stock to put up as additional col
lateral security for the outstand-
ing bonds of the company. In
fact, they said they had agreed
with the trust company holding
the bonds to deposit the capital
stock as q part of the security,
supposing that there would be no
objection to the company buying
up these township holdings at a
nominal price. @
The theory of the company
seems to be that this township
capital stock is not worth much
and never will be. Mr.. Tennis
SAID that if Scott township did not
sell them the $4,000 stock for
$500 that the railroad company
would simply let the interest on
its bonds default and allow the
trust company to foreclose its
mortgage an the road, and this
process would entirely wipe out
the value of this outstanding
township capital stock.
At a heated mass meeting of
citizens it was urged that the stock
was worth more than $500, the
price offered, and should not there
fore be sold for that amount. 1t
was also urged that the talk about
the value of the stock being wiped
out by a mortgage foreclosure was
all bluff on the part of the
company, that the company would
not suffer such a reflection upon
its credit, simply to get rid of this
township stock. Many declared
that the township has done enough
in accepting this $4,000 of capi-
tai stock, for which it has issued
$12, 900 of its bonds, and that the
company ought not to ask for a
return of this stock for so small q
price as $500.-Hutchlnson News.

Used A Winchester
Tried To Break Up Religious
Services in Southeast
Grant County

While religious meeting was in
progress last Sunday in the Clint
Brollier neighborhood on the CHM
arron over in Grant county John
w. Beasley a amember of the school
board attempted to break up the
service. The meeting was of the
all-day- with h-basket- dinner sort so
popular in the west and had been
announced and planned for seven
weeks. 1t was at a school house
where only an occasional preach
ing service is ever heard. The lad
les had cleaned and polished the
room, hung wall mottos, and pre-
pared the fire ready for the match
the evening before. Bright and
early Sunday morning the afore-
said citizen went to the SchoolhOuse
tore out the stove, scattered SCOT.
ashes, and the sand box all over
the desks, seats and floor, nailed
up the school yard gate and took
the stove to his own home.
When the other school officials
and patrons came they cleared a.
way the wreck, ,and the day being
warm enough without a fire the
service proceeded As though moth
ing had happened.
As the Rev. W. H. Stanley was
about one-third through with the
morning sermon the irate citizen
rushed into the gathering with a
winchester and demanded the per-
son who opened the school house
door. Speedily disarmed of the
rifle he pulled a six shooter but
before he could use it he WAS seized
and thrown but not until he had
almost Drained one of his nearest
apdsbest neighbors. The minister
kept the women and children quiet
and when the obstreperous indi-
yidual had been sufficiently pun
ished, called a halt, had the whip
ping stopped, ordered a rig and
sent the fellow home to his family
under promise that he would be
good. The wounded neighbor was
bathed and cared for and he and
his family sent home in an auto
mobile and the service proceeded
from the point in the discourse at
the interruption.
The basket dinner was spread
and the afternoon service held as
per schedule. Twice as many peo-
ple.were present as the house would
accommodate. The crowd came
from four counties. There we're
school teachers, college and uni
versity graduates, and two county
officials present at this service.
The disturber is an old settler
and a well-to-do cattle man and
most of the assembly was consti-
tuted of his best and dearest
friends. As we 60 to press he is
under arrest for attempted man
slaughter, assault to kill, and dis
turbing a religious service. The
action is a state case and will be
pushed to the full extent of the
law. Whiskey was the cause as
