Governor Woodrow Wilson. New Jer-
sey, who said OF local option and the
liquor question to officers of the Anti
Saloon league:
"The questions involved are social
and moral, not political, and are not
susceptible of being made parts OF a
party platform. Whenever they have
been made the subject matter OF party
contest they have thrown every other
question. however important. into the
background and have made conserva-
tive party action impossible for long
years together. l do not believe in
making a political issue Of a great
question which is essentially non-po-
ltical. nonpartism and social in its
nature"

LA TOILETTE A DEMOCRAT?
Jeff Davis Says All Insurgents Belong
to His Party.


Washington, ID. c., June 2.-There
are always things vexatious I'm politics.
This is particularly true Of insurgent
politics. Now comes that old ques-
ton of whether the insurgent senator
from Wisconsin is a Democrat. Sem
ator JEFF Davis of Arkansas says he is.
This is the way he puts 1t. and he
brings angry looks from both his De-
mocratic colleagues and the insurg-
ents.
The Wisconsin senator is just about
as good Democrat as ! am. There
are thirteen of these insurgents here.
and If they live up to what they say,
they are all good Democrats"
Some in Wisconsin may not under
stand just what kind of a man Senator
Davis is. Lying on couch i'm the
Democratic cloak room this week. he
remarked: Il don't feel good; guess
I'll go out and make a speech and get
up some good sweat" This he did,
and the opinion of such a practical
Arkansas citizen on insurgents is not
to be despised.

A Beautiful Home.

1t anyone doubts that a beauti-
full home can be built up in Meade
county we would cite them to the
farm of E. D. Smith, three miles
southwest of town. The News
man and family and Prof. Won
Prosky and wife in Mr.. Won
Prosky's car made brief visit
to this place Thursday evening,
and we were very much pleased
to note the homelike appearance
of the place. Beautiful trees
laden with fruit, good barns and
and other buildings, and the large
space devoted gardening we're
conspicuous. Mr.. Smith assist
ed by his energetic family, have
built up place to delight the eye
of anyone. They have demon
strated that not only ornamental
but fruit trees can be success
fullv grown here and that they
Will produce abundantly. BY an
ingenious system of irrigation
they raise each year good part of
the vegetables used in Meade.
One of the interesting sights is
the butter and milk room. This
is of cement and equipped with
all the necessary appliances for
butter making, including one of
the leading makes of separators.
The room is half in the ground,
is cool, well lighted and venti-
lated and scrupulously clean, and
is an ideal place for the work for
which it was designed. This in
part is responsible for the pure,
sweet butter which finds such
ready market here. Under the
management of Ralph T, Smith
over four hundred acres of land
is tarmed, and the good cattle are
evidence that it is done right.
Special attention is paid to poul-
try, and nicer flock would be
hard to imagine. The odor of
blooming shrubs and trees was
delightful, and the whole scene
one of contentment. What has
been done here can with proper
effort be done on almost every
farm in the county. 1t takes
work and study, but if anyone
doubts the worth of the labor let
him visit the Smith farm and
doubts will vanish. We need
more such places.

A stranger came to town not
long ago looking for land. He
was pleased with the country and
had notion to stop here. He
one day run across a knocker
and he informed us that he never
heard a more discouraging story
than was told by this man in re-
gard to the country and it's
future. He did not believe all
he was told, because he saw evil
dence of better things than this
country killer told him. 1t is
unfortunate that a man has so
little love for the country in
which he lives that he will run it
down to anyone. We censure no
man for telling the truth about
Meade county and only draw the
line when the tale takes on a
gross exaggeration. There is
land that will produce more to
the acre than Meade county land,
but if you try to buy it you will
find that it is priced from twice
to five times what is asked here.
And just as sure as the sun
shines Meade county land will at
no distant time command as high
a price as any in the state. This
is not an overdrawn story. We
saw the same thing when Okla
homa was opened to settlement
and a comparison between the
two would give western Kansas
! the odds in the race.
