the situation that exists in this re-
public today. The great Lincoln
might have had this same Roosevelt
in mind when he cautioned the coun-
try against the danger of that s'tow-
ering genius" which ''disdains a
beaten path" With his far-seeing
vision Lincoln recognized the menaces
that were yet to come. He knew
that other conditions would arise
that would call for patriotic unity of
all the people against dictator and
despot who would seek to tear down
those sacred institutions which the
blood of the patriots established
Today Roosevelt so clearly embodies
this menace of dictatorship that he
hesitates not to quote the great man
who uttered the warnings and put
into his words a meaning abhorrent
to the spirit of all their author ever
said or did
Colonel Roosevelt would revise the
Gettysburg speech into bIasphem-
Gus code supporting the recall of
judges and contemptuous renuncia-
tfon of the constitution. Nothing is
sacred from the profane hand of the
oemagogue who poses as the true
successor" of Abraham Lincoln. 1t
is not enough that Roosevelt should
mallgn the living; he must defile the
nations's illustrious dead. And the
irony of the situation is augmented
when it is remembered that it was
none other than Lincoln himself who
brushed aside the curtain of the
years and saw that the time would
come when the United States would
be confronted with the peril of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, seeking a third term.

DICK TAGRAPH.

Probate Judge w. F. Schoch of
Shawnee comfy in announcing for a
third term says he can see no more
reason for political changes in the
office of probate judges than there is
for changes in other judicial positions
He has spent three and one half
years of hard work in bringing the
records and the business of his office
up to date, and does not think a
candidate should be compelled to
spend a years time in an effort to
secure or to hold the office. He is in
favor of straight salary for probate
judges itstead of payment by fees
The fee system is not good public
policy and is especially pernicious as
a plan for paying judges. Judge.
Schoch has a good platform.

MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, Nav I,
1912 Cattle are selling steady to
strong to-day, following a steady
market yesterday. Stockers and feed
ers are doing better this week, sales
to-day 10 to Is cents above yesterday,
top feeders reaching S7.35 The live
stock daily newspapers at the various
market points are full of accounts of
successful cattle feeding ventures,
and supply figures for an indefinite
time ahead are of a nature to stimu-
late desire for both stock cattle
and feeders. Any kind will grow in
to money at a rapid rate, Various
droves of beef steers have sold here
this week at $3.50 to s. 10, and bulk
of the natives sell at $3.50 to $780,
Colorado sugar beet steers sold here
yesterday and to-day at $40 to IS. As,
and New Mexico spayed heifers at
Sc. Is to $40. Quarantine offerings
have been poor quality this week,
and few in numbrs, most of which
has been low grade grassy stuff,
which sold at $500 to So 90 for the
steers. Properly finished heavy steers
would bring as much in the quaran-
tine division here as anywhere else,
around $3.50, Veal calves are 25 to
so cents higher this week, tops to-day
at $3.50. Bulk of the native cows
brings 1925 to $3.50, and tops sell at
S7.25, heifers up to $500.
The hog market took brace yester-
bay, though remaining at bottom figs
ures of the recent slump in prices,
and it started upward to-day, prices
to 10 higher than yesterday. Re-
duced runs this week changed
the face of the situation, and with
moderate receipts estimated both
here and at Chicago for tom orrow,
$4,000 and $1,000 respectively, there
should be a rising market later this
week Top hogs brought $3.50 here
to-day, on about the last round, and
bulk of sales ranged from $3.50 to
S7.l7 1-2. Prices here to-day are
slightly above Chicago prices, and
Armour's droves here and at Chicago
have been costing within few cents
of each other every day for two weeks
Sheep, lambs and goats broke so to
IS cents yesterday, which was not
surprising, in view of recent sky
rocket markets. Lambs are off Is to
25 cents to-day, but have a more
appearance than any time since the
late disturbance started. Wooled
lambs from Colorado brought 1890
to-day, and spring lambs are quotable
up to $1,000. Clipped Texas wethers
sold at $500 to s6.25 for tops to-day,
some medium ones at 1915, and goats
at $500. Run to-day is 5000 head,
and there is not enough stuff in sight
for balance of the week to be threat
ening to prices. J. A. RICKART,
Market Correspondent.

arrow escape from death by fast freight
ain at Buck Lodge while attempting to
ross the railroad track there on Thursday
{ last week.
DIR. Upton Nourse, driving an automobile.
OF it on the track as the train dashed into
lew and then swerved his machine The
ain was going 40 miles an hour and
truck the machine and DRAGGED it upon
he station platform on top of some empty
read baskets. Had not the step of the
ngine given way. which caught the auto
lobile, all would have been killed. As il
'as, all escaped without a scratch.
The machine stayed in position until the
train of forty cars had passed within a
few inches of it and the occupants were
afraid to move lest it would cause the
machine to 90 under the train.
