POLITICAL NOTES.

William Jennings Bryan has again
definitely eliminated himself even from
consideration as candidate for the
democratic nomination for the presI-
dent.
The following is published as the text
of Woodrow Wilson's letter suggesting
that Bryan be given a Knockout blow.
The letter is dated April 20, 1907;
Adrian H. Joline: Thank you very
much for sending me your address ut
Parsons. kans., before the board OF
directors OF the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas Railway Company. | have read
with relish the entire agreement. Would
that we could do something at once dig
ni6ed and effective to knock MIR. Byan
once for all into a cooked hat.
That Gov. Judson Harmon wrote a
letter advocating the defeat OF Rise
Up' William Allen for governor, and
the "kllliDg" of the democratic party,
is the charge that last night went cir
culating among the democrats gathered
in Washington from all quarters of the
union, and it created as much COM
ment as the Joline letter sensation IN
the camp OF the supporters OF Gov.
Woodrow Wilson. The letter an auto
Graph production, is in the possession
ri Harvey G. CARRIER, national COM
mitteemsu from Ohio. and was written
to L>F. Wbiteman. a veteran demo
cratic editor of Xenia, Ohio, who care
fully preserved it.

TORPEDO BOAT
TERRY MISSING.
Relieved to be Disabled, Helpless
and Wallowing in Sea Off
HatteraS.
CARRIES 80 OFFICERS AND MEN
Eears She Will Founder In Terrific
Ea,es->Dozen Ships Hasten IN Search
ofHer. s

New York, Jan. S.-The long arm
of the wireless is reaching out over
the storm tossed seas today seeking
the torpedo boat destroyer Terry
which, disabled and helpless, is be-
lieved to be wallowing in the sea
S75 miles southeast Of Sandy Hook,
somewhere of the dreaded Cape
Hatteras. Grave fears are felt early
today that the little vessel with her
SO officers and men had foundered
in the terrific gale.
A dozen ships, sent 10 her rescue
by wireless, report they have been
unable to find any trace Of her.
Practically all other wireless busi-
ness has been abandoned while the
search for the tiny Terry goes on.
More than dozen vessels in the Vi
cinity of the spot where the Terry
was last sighted, have reported that
nothing has been seen Of the vessel.
The first intimation that the Ter
ry was in trouble came from the
steamship Tagus of the Royal Mail
Line. She reported that she had
come upon the Terry in latitude
1921 north and longitude G7.20 west.
The Tagus reported that she was
standing by.
! lnstantly the battleship South
Carolina picked up the message and
reported that she had turned and
was speeding toward the stricken
Terry. The revenue cutter Onondaga
was ordered out from Norfolk and the
scout cruiser Salem, herself bat
tered and torn by last weeks gale.
was sent speeding to the rescue.
MISSING BOATS FOUND.
Portsmouth, N. H.. Jan. S.-The
missing torpedoboat destroyer Terry
and also the destroyer Roe, picked mp
at 1890 this afternoon off Cape Hat
teras by the United States Scout
Cruiser Salem, according to wire
less messages received at the navy
yard here.
The Terry was practically helpless,
being out OF oil and stores. The de-
stroyers are being towed to Hampton
Roads by the Salem.

BRYAN NOT TO FOLLOW ROOSE.
WELT.

1t was announced sometime ago
that William Jennings Bryan would be
put ON the trail of the Rough Rider
as he journeyed through the country
making campaign speeches.
All parties have conceded that per-
haps Roosevelt, while he is not the
greatest orator, is no doubt the most
magnetic speaker when he gets among
.he masses. Bryan is considered the
greatest orator in the country, but
somehow he cannot carry the people
with him as Roosevelt has always
been able to do. The Democrats real
lied that the only man they had in the
ranks that could be risked to trail the
colonel was the Nebraskan, and he
has been scheduled to follow on the
heels of Roosevelt, until recently for
some reason or other the plan has
been changed and Bryan's campaign
is to be entirely Independent of that
of the Oyster Bay candidate.
The Republican managers have
doubted whether there comes any
benefit to a nominee by making
personal campaign and it has been
suggested that President Taft wi
make no extensive campaign in his
behalf.
The committee will send out able
speakers who will ably present the
Rapuhlican issuac IN tho neonle No
announcement has been made that any
one will be singled out to follow eth
er Roosevelt or Bryan. No doubt the
Republican speakers have their plans
made Independent of the plans of the
Progressives or the Democrats.

night and were hurried to Red Men

kept waiting only few minutes as
the players had utilized the day coach

Whether in the role of king or

is supported by an excellent company.
When he appeared here two years
ago he was recognized as versatile
actor of promise. His development
during that time has been remarkable.
He is forceful, magnetic and his gen

SHOULD PROTECT OUR RIGHTS.

1t is the duty of every nation and
each individual to make every honor
able effort to maintain peace among
nations and individuals. When a ma
tion has made every honorable effort
to keep peace it has perhaps done its
duty. This does not mean that a ma
ton should be insulted by having its
individuals injured beyond what is
known as a reasonable degree. Ma
tions have treaties and these treaties
grant certain rights which must be
respected by both nations making the
treaty. So far as those treaties are
concerned a person of one country has
all the rights when in another coun-
try as are given by the terms of the
treaty and has just right to ask his
own nation to see to it that his rights
are respected by the other nation.
There is a treaty existing between
this nation and Mexico whereby citi-
zens of the United States may travel
and carry on business in Mexico and
be protected in those rights to tho
same degree that the citizens of Mex
leo are protected. During period
of several years there has been con-
tinual revolution in Mexico and the
citizens of this country have been sub
jected to all kinds of insults and in
juries and several American citizens
have lost their lives down there in
violation of the terms of the treaty.
The people of the United States have
been very patient, much more so than
the circumstances would warrant.
1t is claimed by the Mexican gov
ernment that they are doing the best
they can to protect the rights of in
dividuals of other nations, and that
if they have failed it is because they
have been unable to cope with the sit
uation. However, this is no question
for discussion so far as this county is
concerned. The nation of Mexico has
guaranteed by the terms of its treaty
these rights to our citizens and it is
duty bound to make good or take the
consequences. To recognize the pow
er of nation to make treaty menas
also the presumption that the nation
is able to back their contract and the
nation is duty bound to do so.
When a nation has become weaken
ed in any way so that it can not en-
force its contract it is the custom OF
nations to step in by force of arms
and make reprisals on the nation that
has not met its contract.
To recognize a government, because
of rebellion, as being unable to en-
force its laws in a general way means
to recognize the government as fail
ure. The condition gives the injured
nation right to step in and protect
it's rights by force of arms if neces-
sary. Let the United States accept
the condition.

A
DRAINAGE SYSTEM

The first thing to do in starting to
drain field is to locate the proposed
main tile drains and laterals where
they will do the most good. Where
the land is very flat or level, and the
whole surface must be drained, a uni
form system of parallel laterals lead
ing directly to the larger@main tile is
the most advantageous. In the case
Of more rolling lands, with wet draws
and ponds or law places where the wa
ter collects from the higher points,
main drain should be run up the low
est part of the geld and sub-mains and
laterals run from it into the wet spots.
This type of land does not usually re-
quire as complete system of tiling to
thoroughly drain it as does other
land.
After the proposed system of drains
has been laid out, the next thing to
do is to get the levels and estimate
the cuts for the bitches. Here, &C.
curate work must be done, says j.
M. Leffler in Farm and Home. A
mistake in establishing the grade
lines means proportionate reduction
in efficiency. Grade stakes are num-
bered and placed along the proposed
drain either 80 or 100 feet apart, ac-

DEPUTY SHERIFF PASSES

night and this morning. tine last stages

Pangranzi is an understood man,
frail in appearance who has weak
rather than bad face. If he is guilty
of the heinous crime with which he is
charged one feels he must have been

cording to the surface of the field.
Readings are then taken on these
stakes. The cut or depth of the ditch.
at each stake is marked on it, and a
separate record of the number of the
stakes and corresponding cuts is kept
for reference.
The ditch is now ready to be dug,
and the accurate work comes in max
ing the bottom of the ditch to grade.
Grading by water, with the eye, or
with a level and straight edge or tri-
angle and plumb bob are neither ac-
curate nor economical. These meth
DDS are all more or less guesswork.
Two methods, however, which give
accurate work, are in comon use for
grading the ditch. They are the string
and target methods.

PROGRESSIVE REPUBLICANS
FILE THEIR TICKET

The Republican progressives OF
Colorado have been making cam
paign of the state in their behalf. +.
b. Stewart of Colorado Springs is
the leader. He is strong for Roosevelt
and progressive principles, but believ-
es that this contest should De made
within the party and not outside of
the party as the igan-Lindsey
people have planned. There came up
a question some time ago as to wheth-
er a Roosevelt Republican would be
entitled to take part in the assem-
blies already held The chairman of
the Republican state central commit
tee replied when asked about the mat
ter that he considered that Taft was
the Republican nominee for president
and that the support of Taft was the
TO be the basis upon which to deter
mine whether or not one was Repub-
lican. This decision was condemned
by the Denver Republican and many
of the Republican papers of the state
who claimed that it would necessarily
drive many good Republicans from
the party. The Stewart people at
once decided to take no part in ths
Republican assembly but would have
their candidates go on the primary
ticket by petition. At once they be-
gan state wide campaign, declaring
for progressive principles and for
Roosevelt. They have filed a state
ticket as follows:
United States senator-Long term
Merkle D. Vincent, Delta county.
Congressman-a -at-large-L. j. Star
ke, Denver; Clarence P. Dodge, EI

Mccoy, COW, and seven of her fe-
male friends went to their death here
as a result of an afternon of drunk
ness and debauch.
Through break in a pasture fence
on the Mccoy farm, the cows gained
entrance to an enclosed farm of silo.
Led by Bessie, they attacked the open
end of the corn stalks, and pretty
soon all were soused. Then the crav-
ing for water reached the jewellers
and joyously they zig-zagged their
way to river. Bessie took one draft,
toppled dizzily into the river. One by
one the other cows followed her and
within few minutes all were floating
down stream, victims of inebrity.
