REEFS.

The Abilene Reflector's comment
on the retirement petition plan IS:
"Mr. Rees' idea to have Taft resign
was calculated to make peace, but 1t
did not work. Now let him see what
he can do toward getting T. r. and
woodrow to quit" The Reflector
has not been very friendly to Con-
gresham Rees, from the first; but
we will concede that his remark Is
both friendly and fair enough. The
Reflector is already willing to help
reflect Judge Rees.-Minneapolis
Messenger.
This from Mr.. Rees home paper
is scarcely just. The Reflector had
another choice for the nomination
but when the primary was over 1t
supported Mr.. Rees heartily. Rees
carried this county while Gov. Stubs
lost 1t.
We do not agree with Mr.. Rees
on everything-and for that matter
we never knew anybody we did al
ways agree Without he has made
a good record in congress. Mr.. Rees
is always courteous and frank and
his personality has made him many
friends. Being a new man and in the
minority he could not accomplish
much but he has voted intelligently
and we believe conscientiously, US
ually supporting party measures. We
believe he should stand with the
party nominee for president and have
seen no statement that he does not
intend so to do. The fact that he
is to be renominated without oppo-
sition is credltable to his record and
unless the Roosevelt bosses antagon-
lie a large portion of the Republic
cans by unfair action he will be re-
elected.
The margin of the Republican ma
jority in this district is small and
it will require united party to win
in November. This district should
have a Republican congressman and
the Reflector always does its part
in that direction.

The action of the city commits
sioners in deciding to enforce the
curfew law is decidedly to their
credit. One Of the things the young
generation needs to learn in Abilene
as we'll as elsewhere Is that the place
to spend the night Is at home. One
of the things that gets on the nerves
of the thinking man and woman is
the spectacle Of boys and girls walk
ing around tho streets unaccom-
panied long after they should be In
bed. If their parents have not the
firmness Of mind and determination
Of character to see to their young
children's welfare the city ought to
solve the problem to the best Of it's
ability and enforce the curfew law.
Nine-tenths Of the wickedness Of the
world comes from indiscriminate COM
partnership after nighE It ID y
strange thing that the average par
ent is so blind to the interests OF
the children Of the family as to al
dow them this dangerous freedom.

William Allen White objects to
Senator Curtis because mo big leg
islation bears his name" Will Mr..
White tell us Of some big legislation
that bears the names Of James G..
Blaine or Roscoe Conkling? Or
will he tell us Of any "big legisla-
ton" that bears the name Of Plumb,
or Allison, or Cockrell? These were
all noted senator's but they were not
noted for constructive statesmanship
but for the ability with which they
attacked or defended the bills which
others originated and for taking care
OF the interests of their constituents.
Mr.. Curtis is very useful senator,
an indefatigable worker and man
who has the confidence Of the men at
the capital who do things.-Leaven-
worth Times.

Ormsby McHarg, who managed the
Roosevelt contests from, the southern
states, seems to have a limit to which
he viii go. In an interview he says;
''The proposed action on the part of
regular Republican presidential cleo
tors to refuse to vote for Mr.. Taft
and to cast their vote for Mr.. Roose-
welt is dishonest, immoral, revolu-
tionary and cannot be Justified on
any ground. The program to have
regular Republican electors vote for
anyone but the nominee OF the party.
and that is Mr.. Taft, is nothing If
not revolutionary"

lola Register: According to Mr.
White a desperate campaign will be
made in Kansas to force Roosevelt
electors onto the Taft ticket, because,
as Mr.. White very naively remarks,
I'VE have the assurance from one OF
the eastern states that II our Re-
publican electoral ticket stands for
Roosevelt theirs will too" That is
to say II the Kansas burglars do
not come to grief, other wOuld-be
timorous election thieves will pick

full mess Of ''reformers'' this years

Senator Glenn, candidate for lieu

senator says: at is the veriest kind

A Hope man circulated Curtis
club paper the other day, secured
nearly so signatures. every man he
approached signed it but three, up
to the time we last heard Of it. OF
the three who refused, one claimed
to be a Democrat. but one who
claimed to be a Republican would
give no reason. Upon being asked
If he was for Stubs for o. S. sena-

In the new mining region of Tennis
Gaming, Northwestern Quebec, the
Provincial government planned to es-
tablish three centres of colonial
tion," but found. when it came time
to auction lots at one of them, that
an enterprising prospector, months
ago, staked out the townsite for clay
to make bricks. The man had full
filled all the conditions imposed by
the Mines Department and had paid
for his property, and 1t is intimated
that, so completely had all the other
land in that region been taken up,
the government found 1t advisable
to pay the prospector $4,000 to re-
lease him claim. Which indicates
that the modern Britisher isn't so
blooming slow.

Where is the Good

- do not know one good thing about
the saloon. 1t is an evil thing that has
not one redeeming thing in its history
to commend it to good men. 1t breaks
the laws of God and man. 1t deserra+es
the Sabbath; it profanes the name of
religion; it deties public order; it tramp
les under foot the tenderest feelings Of
humanity; it is a moral pestilence that
blights the very atmosphere Of town ami
country; it is a stain upon honesty: Il
blur upon purity; a clog upon progress; !;
a check upon the nobler impulses; it is
an incentive to falSehood, deceit and
crime.
Search through the history of this
hateful thing, and read one page over
which some mother can bow her grateful
head and thank God for all the saloon
did for her boy. There is no such record.
All its history is written in tears and
blood, with smeaIs of shame and stains
OF crime, and dark blots of disgrace.

Want Ads for Farmers

Only comparatively few
readers Of newspapers realize
the benefit Of the Want I'D De-
partment. 1t is a cheap form
Of advertising odds and ends.
For the farmer 1t is al,cays a
paying proposition. Suppose
yon haze cow, fesc pigs that
you Would be acilling to sell.
Put 1t IN the Want Column
and rest assured you 1cill get
the customers. Then again, a
farmer often sees Where he
could handle a heifer or colt
during the Winter. With q ht-
tie ertra forage, he has on
hand, he can By feeding 1t
make dollar or so avithOut
any extra arork. But he has
not the time to hunt them up.
Run an an Ad something like
this:-
WANTED-CalrcS. Would
bug 3 on 4 calres, # price IS
rjght.-
You aUiIl get an ansacer
There isn't a farmer IN this
community but what could
hare an Ad in our Want De-
partnent at a profit to him.
