CITY PARK QUESTION

That this city mas neglected its
opportunity to get suitable grou1 S
Tor parks, cheap, is very app mt
70 all. That we must have par6S or
quit clamoung 20 be up-tod is
equally apparent. One or more
parks fer any live city are an aoso-
lutte necessity; the more parks the
better 50 they do not become bur
den to the people.
Chanute should get busy at once
and provide suitable grounds and
improve and beauty them as she
aa. The Grubb place has been
mentioned as a suitable location
nat can be procured. 1t is beau
ful place now and it can be ser cured
It a reasonable pnce aud it should
ee secured at once. The old fair
grounds IS the best size on The east
side for another 1t is objected by
,ome that it overAows. A consid-
rab'e portion of It does during the
xtreme foods we have occasional
y. But he part around the grand
stand where those beautiful trees are
located, never does. WHAT if
portion of the ground does overflow
once 10 fouror five years. All the
fac parks in the country have the
same trouble and most of them
catch it much worse than this piece
# ground, The Santa Fe ground
mentonei at the south side of the
city is q poor place. The soil has
been scraped off of this ground till
1t is too poor to raise bull ne,tles.
If the city wants to buy row of
town lots across that ground, facing
on Santa Fe so it can construct an
automobile road there we have no
serious objections but we do not
like to see it done under the guise
Of park.
The Grubb ground and the fair
grounds with the old qoarry in the
Second Ward would give US good
start towards city parks.
Why not drop all sectional feeling
in the matter and do the very best
we can to provide coming genera
lions with these much needed rest

DEATH under WHEELS

We realize that the life of man is
limited and as old age approaches,
death seems natural and does not
come with such a shock as when a
child or young person is suddenly
called.
Last Monday evening, as Ruth
Newton, the nine year old daugh-
ter of Mrs. Rena Newton, with
several smaller children were driv
ing the family COW up from the
pasture to be MIXED, Ruth was
run over by a freight car and killed
The freight train on the Katy had
} been cut in two and the cars we e
standing on the track with about
six foot opening. The children
drove the COW through and attemp-
ted to cross themselves.
Ruth saw the engine approaching
and made all haste to get the child
rem out of danger but just when
they were in the middle Of the track
the backing engine struck one sec
ton of the cars and they started to
close up the gap. Ruth intent OH
saving the smaller children gave
them shove and pushed them out
danger, but the slight delay to save
the children caused her death. She
was drawn under the cruel wheels
and the life was crushed out Of her.
Funeral services were held Tuesday
and the mangled remains of the
little hero were quietly laid away
in peaceful Elmwood.
Calamities seem to follow Mrs.
Newton, thick and fast. Less than
two years ago her husband died,
leaving her with five small children
of which Ruth was the oldest
Some months later her house burned
destroying the contents with what
money she had saved up.
Now comes this terriblecalamity,
leaving her heart broken. 1t takes
brave spirit to stand up under such
ordeals, but the mother love for the
smaller children, her duty to them
and the warm sympathy of friends
will carry her through and the life
of noble little Ruth will become a
sweet memory from which she
would not be divorced.

prOuuCeu $50, 600, 600 pounuS ol
wool. Under the present Tariff law
the sheep of the United States have
increased 49H per cent in number
and 248 per cent in value the past
fourteen years. In addition to this
increase, we slaughtered last year
IS 900, 900 mutton that had a power
full influence in keeping down the
price of other foods.
The tarItf on wool has never had
any influence on the price of clotn-
ing and everyone understands this
who has taken the pains to investi
gate it.
An all,wool suit of clothing which
you buy from your dealer for $40,
or from the store for S25, if of the
usual summer weight, contains, if it
be all wool, just 715 pounds of wool
as it comes from the sheep. For
fine morino wool our growers now
receive about I6c pound, and fig
uring pounds to the suit it would
make the wool that went into a $40
suit of clothes cost just 81 28. That
is all the wool grower gets out of a
suit, in spite of the Tariff. You
can figure this out for yourself. The
average suit of clothes requires 338
yards of cloth; the cloth weighs
from 10 to I0 ounces per yard.
There are very few suits of clothes,
regardless Of what they may sell for,
that the wool grower gets as much
as 81 for furnishing all the wool that
goes into them. At present prices
it IS almost impossible to put 81
worth of wool into a summer suit.
The value of the wool contained in
the suIt is so small that 1t is never a
factor in regulating the price for
which the suit must be sold.
The Tariff on wool saved the
American people hundreds of mil
lions of dollars, for it has built up
in this nation sheep industry that
furnishes our people annuallV with
$40. 900, 900 pounds of the best wool
In the world. American wool is
superior to any imported wool, and
clothing made from it will wear
from IS to O. per cent longer than
cloth made from similar grades of
foreign wool. The only reason for
using foreign wool IN our clothes is
that it may be purchased cheaper
than domestic wool. Australia and
South America recognize the super
iority of the American wool pro-
ducing sheep, and in many instances
they have purchased from us sheep
for the improvement of their foreign
hocks. l have been told by manu-
facturers and wool experts, men who
have spent lifetime in the busi-
ness, that foreign wools as imported
do not compare with ours in wear
ing quality. Our government re-
cognizes this fact and in letting con
tracts for wooden clothing, for both
Army and Navy, specifies that moth.
ing but American wool shall be used
in their manufacture IS. W. Nc
Clure, Secretary of the National
Wool Growers Association.

THE MEXICAN ELECTION

w lln wv dppiS"Sh VI 'HN
election in Mexico the triumphant
Madero party faces It's first real test
of administrative supremacy. After
conducting a successful revolution
and thereby winning practically ev-
cry contention for which he and his
fellow patriots struggled, Madero
has turned over the actual leader
ship of federal affairs to the Presi-
dent De La Barra and his cabinet,
and preparations are being made to
hold a presidential election in which
Madero will be candidate for the
office from which he deposed Diaz.
One of the principal grievances
held by the revolutionists against
the D,az government was that the
people were not allowed free rein in
expressing themselves at the polls.
The elections, both local and ma
tional, have been mere farces in
Mexico for many years. The fran
chise has never been extended to
the humber classes and elections
were carried just as the dominant
party wished, regardless of the pre-
ferences of the people. 1t will be
remembered that Madero himself
was placed in Jail and aiterward be-
came an exile because he had dared
TO oppose Diaz as a candidate for
the presidency.
1t is announced by Provisional
President De La Barra that the new
election will be absolutely free from
all forms of coercion snd corruption,
Every candidate will have every o.
portunity to conduct his canvass as
he sees fit so long as the provisions
of the law are complied with. This
means that the old government
party will be permitted to oppose
he .evoutlonists at the polls with
out fear of violance. Gen. Trevino
is the representative of the Diaz
regime-or what is left of it-and in
all probability he will be candi-
date f1r the presidency. Word
comes from De La Barra that Ire
vino will not be restrained in his op-
position to Madero, nor will any of
the other candidates who wish to
get into the race.
If the presidential election is con-
ducled ia the way that is indicated
by De La Barra's announcement, it
will mean that freedom has come at
la-t to the Mexican people. Here
tofore they have been called on to
uphold one faction or another In the
turbulent political war that has
waged constantly in Mexico for
more than two decades. In the
spoils of these various victories the
people themselves have not shared.
Should the Madero party carry out
its promises as they relate to free
and honest elections, /. will bring
complete vindication to the revolu-
tionists Kansas City Journal.

The Weather

Hot, you bet sunday was the banner
hot day for Kansas. Tempera ure
ranged from 100 to l15 in different
parts Of the state. 1t seems Chanute
was the proper summer resort for the
state, Sunday. We only reached a
good round 100 Thus proving again
the oft repeated claims that Chanute
is the best place ia Kansas in which
to live. Monday evening we had a
gentle shower which cooled the air
and made the sleeping good for one
night at least.
The shower was refreshing but quit

has truly been dry June. Dry june

has been little too good. Cora is

rains soon wOnld make lots Of corn.
viii they come? Possibly not. The
thing for the farmer now is 10 so "

PLAN or lEMOCRATsnTO ExTERMINA7E
WOOL GROWING IN the UNITED States

The new wool Tariff proposed by
the Democratic Ways and Means
Committee in the House reduces
The duty on raw wool to an insignif
icant figure, which will neither afford
revenue to the government, nor Pro-
lection to the wool grower, nor
lower prices to consumer of wooden
goods.
Under the present law there is a
duty of II cents per pound on grease
wool imported into this country.
On the face of it, this looks like a
Protective duty, but when we ex
anime into the facts the actual Pro
lection given to our wool growers
by this Tariff against foreign wool
IS in some cases less and in many
cases Just about half what the law
specifies. Amencan woods shrink
when secured au average of or per
cent or, in other words, it tax S
so of our grease wool to make
one pound of secured wool.
Foreign woods, as now imported i,
shrink in securing just about half OF
what our woods shrink. Therefore,
the importer who buys foreign woods
pays II cents duty on the grease
pound, bat he gets from this pound
about twice as much secured wool
as he gets from a pound OF our
wool; therefore, our wool growers
have an actual Protection against
foreign woods of about 5 to 6 cents
per pound, instead of II cents,
as the law specifies. The wool
grower has been blamed with duty
of II cents, when in reality he
receives only half of it. THIS light
shrink of foreign woods is due to
the fact that the present law allows
the heavier parts of the fleece to be
thrown out and permits washing Of
class woods, without increasing the
duty.
If the House passes its bill placing
the duty on fleece wool at 20 per
cent, this will give the growers an
actual Protection against foreign
woods of from to 3 cents per
pound, which in reality is no pro
lection at all. Since the Democrats
assess the duty on the value
Of the imported woods, ii
necessarily follows that only the
lower grade Of woods will be import
ed, for the duty on them will be
less than on the higher quality Of
woods. In other words, this Tariff
encourages the importation of poor
wools.
Wool can be grown in Australia,
South America and Africa for con-
slderably less than half of what it
costs to produce it in this country.
Therefore, without adequate Pro-
lection, our growers Will soon be
driven out of the sheep business,
and if this Democratic wool bill
should pass, the value of American
sheep will shrink SI5o, 600, 600 in
less than five years.
We have in the United States,
according to government figures,
over $1,000, 900 sheep that last year
