Auto Mail Service.

Geo. Il. Anderson, contractor of the
Liberal Beaver mail route and carrier
on the Liberal end of the line, has pur-
chased an automobile and installed it
in the mail service this week, bringing
the mail as far as Floris by auto,
We'd like TO see auto service put all
the way through. Contractor Ander-
son should arrange for a change of
schedule and bring the machine all the
way through, This would give us
morning mail from Liberal and after
noon mail out, great improvement
over morning mail out to both Meade
and Liberal and in from those points in
the late afternoon as we now have it,,
with no morning mail in nor afternoon
mail out.

Congressman Madison Dead.

Hon. E. II. Madison, Congressman
from the seventh district OF Kansas,
died at his home at Dodge City, o! ap-
oplexy while at the breakfast table
Monday morning, September 18th.
His sudden death was n shock to the
tntire state and middle West for, while
Ne had been in poor health for year
yet, his condition was not considered
alarming and on the particular morn
ing OF his death he felt unusually we'll.
He was serving his second term as
Congressman from his district at the
time OF his death and was one OF the
best known and most alert members OF
Congress and leader in that body.
He was warm, personal friend Of
President Taft and Tx President
Roosevelt and always figured in the
most important affairs of the Nation.
Ills death will be felt by his state in
in particular and the entire Republican
party for in him they had loyal and
staunch supporter.

Not a Playground.

The new cement walks which were
design ed for thing Of beauty and a
Joy forever, are in some instances, al
most proving a public nuisance and it
is evident that "some thing has got to
be did"
The gradual downhill slope makes an
excellent place for coasting on bicycles,
tricycles and toy wagons and rolling
hoops and the small fry" seem to
think our business people were gener-
Gus enough to provide cement play
ground for them right in front of our
places of business where they may con-
gregate in herds and droves and make
so much noise one cannot hear them
selves think, much less attend to busi-
ness This is a mistaken idea however
and the kick that is going up is long
and loud. We all like to see the little
fellows have a good time but can hard
ly afford to turn over our business
thoroughfare to them exclusively.
A little ordinance from the city
council to the effect that these practic-
es be prohibited would be appreciated

shall at the meeting of the city council
last week to take the place of Emmett
Gardner, resigned Mr.. Quinn imme-
diately took charge of the duties of his
Office and is busy at present collecting
poll aud dog tax. The dog tax is a step
in the right direction. Too many worth
less ours roam our streets to the dis
gust and discomfort of the citizens and
unless they have an owner, who is will
ing to pay for the privilege, they
should be put out of the way. We say
Amen ! to the dog tax and have already
