STEEL DECLINE
STOPPED. PRICE
STRENGTH SHOWN

The decline in prices OF steel prod
ucts has ben arrested and quotations
are now showing a resistance which is
commented on by the weekly trade
summaries. The Iron Trade Review in
its issue today says:
FINISHED material quotations, not
ably steel bars, structural shapes and
plates, are no longer yielding readily
to the pressure of competition among
the mills for tonnage. This is one Of
| the most encouraging DEVELOPMENTS
since the advent of the present tFeclin-

the leading candidate for the nomina-
ton for Lieutenant Governor is a
prominent member of the Democratic
state editorial association, and the
members OF that organization are
nearly all for him. It is believed that
II an early convention is held the edi-
tors who are favorable to Metsker
could do SO much for him that there
would be no question about his nomi-
nation.
The plan to hold an early convention
Is a new one with the Democrats.
Heretofore they have held their state
convention in April. May or June Last
year the convention was in June, and
In 1908 II was in May.
But this plan does not mean that the
state committee will be reorganized
early next year. On the other hand. as
has been told in these dispatches.
there Is a tendency on the part of a
good many Democrats to postpone the
organization Of the committee until
after the state convention. in order
that the nominees may have something
to say as to who the chairman shall
be. This plan. it is believed, proba bly,
will be followed.
Another new name has been men
toned for Republican state chairman.
1t IS that of John McCardle. formerly
member OF the state tax board. Nc
Cardle is one of the we'll known Re
publican workers of the state. His
home was in Rush county. but he has
been living here for the last few years
He is rich and for many years has been
engaged in the grain business. He was
appointed member OF the state tax
board by Governor Ha-ny. Whether
Hanly has anything to do with bring
ing McCardle into the race is not

First Life Sentence

When Judge William H. Thomp-
son last week imposed a life SEN
tence in the penitentiary on Geo.
L. Pearce, a farmer of Stanton
county, for shooting j. |. Silvey,
the Thirty-second Judicial District
had its first conviction for first
degree murder. A previous trial
resulted in a hung jury, The jury
this time was out five hours before
returning a verdict. 1t is consider
ed remarkable that jury could be
obtained in the county to vote for
conviction, as the entire male pop
ulation is only one hundred and
fifty. The total of the two venires
called by Judge Thompson was
121. Bond has been fixed at $780,
900 pending an appeal.
The shooting of Silvey is said to
have resulted from a dispute over
land boundaries.

Agricultural Institute

Prof. S. U. Black, superinten-
dent of the Panhandle Agricul-
tural Institute, has just sent out
the first annual year book of the
state school, located at Goodwill,
Okla.
This year book, issued by the
students of the P. A. l., shows on
every page the great amount of
work that may be accomplished
by the youth of our land if their
energies are intelligentiy directed
along practical educational lines.
We would like to give you a
peek into this year book that you
might know what our neighbors
are doing in their music, debate,
basket bail, sewing class, cooking
class, botany, corn judging, bas-
kerry, Shakespeare Club, gym
nasium work, manual training,
where the boys in the orchestra
make the instruments on which
they play, and the Y. W. G. A.
work. But, as we cannot, will
say the class poems, songs and
yells, together with all the above
work, bespeak a much older in
stitution than the P. A. |,
We congratulate Prof. Black
upon results, and may the future
results of this school be proper
tionally as great as the energy and
hard work of the superintendent
of the institution.

To District Clerks.

We sent out the census books
Monday and hope every district
clerk has received his by this time.
A few clerks have already sent
their annual reports to this Office.
We are certainly grateful to them
for their promptness. They will
now please take the censts and re-
turn the same to this Office as
soon as completed.
To the clerks who have not sent
their annual report we wish to
say that it need not be sent until
after the census has been taken
which should be completed on June
Both or as soon after as possible.
The report of the amount voted
for school purposes should be sent
at the earliest convenience.
AS the county superintendent
has to make a report to the state
superintendent of all the items con-
tanned in the district clerks reports
1t will expediate matters exceed
ingly if all the clerks will send in
their report some time in July.
And above all things, will you
not kindly fill out every item call
ed for, accurately. 1t will save
you trouble and us also, besides
our reports will then truly be of
value. MARY E. TODD,
County Superintendent.

Temperance

The history of the temperance
movement dates from ancient
times and we learn that the Jewish
Nazarites acted on total abstinence
principles.
Mohammedans and the higher
Hindu caste nominally abstained
from intoxicating liquors, this be-
ing religious obligation placed
upon them.
The first temperance society on
record is that of St. Christopher,
founded in Germany in 1917,
whose members were pledged to
exercise moderation.
An organization formed at East
Hampton, Long Island, in 1851
for the purpose of limiting the
sale of intoxicants, was the first to
be instituted in America. How
ever, the American TemperanceUn-
ion was not organized on the basis
of total abstinence until 1886.
A crusade was started at Wash
ington Court House, Ohio, in
1873. 1t was an organized effort
against saloons and resulted in the
closing of many places where Ii
quors were kept for sale.
In these campaigns men and
women armed with weapons and
hymn-books persuaded the keep
ers to close their places of bust
ness or forcibly destroyed their
wares. The most powerful society
of temperance workers ever or
ganized is the Women's Christian
Temperance Union. 1t has au.
xiliaries in every state or territory
of the United States, and is or
ganized locally in more than ten
thousand towns in the Union.
This organization is an organ
ization of Christian women for the
young, reforming the drinking
classes, stimulating the public SEN
tlment, and ultimately securing
the abolition of the liquor traffic
by legal enactment.

One of the very pleasant func-
tions of the hot weather season
was the luncheon and card party
given by Mrs. j. H. Cavanaugh
Tuesday afternoon in honor of her
guest, Mrs. |. D. Shady of Great
Bend. The invitations for the
party were written in rhyme, and
a prize for the best answer was
awarded to Mrs. Coleman who tied
with Mrs. 7. w. Cav for the
prize, a dainty booklet. After a
delicious four course luncheon was
served at 1870 by the hostess, the
tables were arranged for whist.
The prize, beautiful jewel box
was awarded to Mrs. Coleman.

The private car of President
Nudge of the Rock Island lines
was attached to No. Wednesday,
the Nudge family being on their
way to the coast. With the party
were Superintendent Mullinex of
the power department; Gen Su-
perintendent Smalley of Topeka;
N. d. Ballentine, superintendent
of car service; P. j. Colligan, mas
ter of motive power; Division Su-
perintendent H. B. Greenough of
Dalhart and M. E. Paxton of Kan
sas City, general manager of the
Grier system. The officials left
the Nudge car here and went
west on a later train. They were
greatly interested in the new build
ings here, and took away a num-
Der of pictures of the new station
and hotel, which are the finest
along the system. 1t is probable
that the congregation of such a
set of officials here at this time
has some significance, but what the
visit meant no one seems to know.
