EMPoRIA GETS IN AGAIN.
Magazine Runs Pictures of Dancing
Glasses.

Emporia, Kan, Nov. 1S.-In the Good
Housekeeping Magazine for November
are two cuts illustrating dancing
classes at the Normal. The article is
by Laura Crozen, a personal friend of
Miss Miriam Thayer, who was the head
of the women's department in physical
education at the Normal last year, and
the subject is New Cult of Dancing"
The writer points out that the dance
no longer means merely the special
dance, as the waltz or the two-step.
1t has come to have far larger mean
ing, especially for girls and women as
a means of health and grace. The pho
tographs are of an elementary class in
aesthetic dancing in the Kansas State
normal, and a dance of the winds, sug-
gestive of the American Indian dances,
which was given as a part of the May
Day festival at the Normal last year.
Under the pictures is the inscription
photo by Alvord, by the courtesy of
Miss Miriam Thayer." The dances of
Germany, France and Hungary also
are illustrated, and with them the
dances of America as Illustrated by the
work done in the Kansas State normal
at Emporia.

HarVests Are Compared.
In 1906 approximately 5000, 100000
bushels of Indian corn were harvested
There occurred an interesting oppor-
tunity of comparison between this har-
vest and the foreign commerce of the
United States in that year. Our total
international commerce, measured III
dollars, was equivalent to the total
harvest of Indian corn measured III
bushels, or, in Other words, the num-
Der f bushels of Indian corn which
We're harvested was practically equal
to the number of dollars which repre-
sente,. the money value of the articles
imported and exported.
Since that time, however, our com

on the whole, yearly increases, whereas
our annual harvest of corn since 1906
has not until this year equaled the
harvest garnered in that year. Ap-
parently, while our foreign commerce
was constantly gaining, it was not
possible or practicable for the Ameri-
can farmers to secure as great crops
of corn as they did in 1906.
In the calendar year which it now near
ing its end the foreign commerce of the !

lars, approximately Loo, 900 600 more than

VERY BITTER AGAINST
 ADMINISTRATION

Little Rock, March 23.-"I would rather see a Democrat elected than to be ruled by Rem mel and Bratton," is the defiant challenge thrown by Judge John Mcclure, familiarly known since the days of reconstruction as
 Poker Jack" Mcclure, when he was elected a member of t h e Roosevelt Club.
 He bitterly assailed the pres ent administration of the party in Arkansas, although he has heretofore been aligned with the most radical of the administra. tionists. He declared that his choice for Roosevelt for presi- dent is a desire to dethrone the present party machine in Ark ansas, rather than any prefer ence between the candidates.
 The Roosevelt boosters are not confined to the non.ofice. holding class, although almost exclusively so. Among t h e memb CTS of the Roosevelt Club are W. s. Allen, U. S. Commis- sioner; Judge c. c. Waters, Referee in Bankruptcy; and Col. A. s. Fowler, former U. $. Mar shal for the Eastern District, Others lean toward Roosevelt, but fear to expre sS themselves.

 This conviction is based on ac curate and thorough knowledge of the situation and an abiding faith in the honest citizenship of this state, who will register their vote in this state.
 The opposition may wager stage money in an attempt to create sentiment.
 Tin-hOrn gamblers may cry their faith on every corner and hired mouthpieces at hotels may try to influence the uniformed.
 The opposition may advertise few well>rehearsed and fanci- ful stunts called straw votes"

WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN
 TEMPERANCE UNION

Would you like to have a saloon next door to your home? fnot would you not enjoy doing all you can to have it as far from your neighbours home as your own?J
 Do not forget that we are taught in the Holy Writ: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy self" This idea, carried to it's logical conclusion, means entire prohibition.
 Many a man has taken a little for his stomach's sake only to find later that the little had taken his stomach.
 It is said that the brewers of St. Louis have spent S200,00O within the last six months of a recent year to defeat the prohi- bitory law in Kansas towns by the following method, which is strictly confidential:
 We send two or three trust ed men into a town with quan. tity of beer and other liquors, get the names of the hardest drinkers in town, get them into room, get them drunk, put them on the streets, the have certain men to call the attention of the public to the fact that this is a pretty town in prohibition Kansas. This will be kept up regardless of expense.
 With the above tactics which the liquor men will use to nullify tke law of a great state, who csuld say in truth that there was an honest one among them.
 Let us not forget the S1 1,OOO,' 900 fund that the organized brewers of Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Louis have contributed to fight prohibition in the South.
 We expect Arkansas will get her prorata when the fight comes on. It is said that part of it has been used in the various Legislatures of the state.

 Bull fights and men fights must not be tolerated under our law" says Judge Evans, who adds that he will call a special term of court to try every man arrested for participating in such a violation of the law.
