ROCK ISLAND OFFICIALS
VISIT LIBERAL
They Were Enthusiastic
About Liberal and the
Business Done Here


Friday evening a special train Of
four cars came in from Ell Paso
caring bthe following prominent
Rock Island officials; First Vice Pres.
Ridgeway, of Chicago; General Man
ager A. Z. Sweet of Topeka; Supt.
Of Motive Power, Tollerton, of Chi
cago: Gen. Supt. Smalley, of Topeka
and Dist. Engineer ]. NJ. Brown OF
Topeka. J. j. Greer also accompan-
ted them. They we're returning to
Topeka from an inspection of the d.
visions between Topeka and Ell Paso,
and we're scheduled to stop here only
about twenty minutes but they were
40 surprised at the prosperous condi-
tion of the business here, the magnifi-
cence of the fine hotel and depot, and
the prosperous hum of business In
general around this section that they
remained over two hours and a half.
They chatted pleasantly with some of
the prominent business men OF the
town and with the local R. R. Off
.cials. They did not give out any
thing as to their plans for Liberal
in the future, for publication, but
perhaps before many moons we will
have something interesting for publi-
cation.

NEELEY DOING THINGS

Liberal Democrat:

Washington, D. c., July %, 1912.
Liberal Democrat:
Have today introduced bill appro-
priating fifteen thousand dollars, or
so much thereof as may be necessary
for the purpose of making an lnves-
tigation into the feasibility and prac-
ticability of constructing an irriga-
tion reservoir on the Cimarron river
at or near the intersection of Grant,
Haskell, Stevens and Seward cOun-
ties, said work to begin Immediately
upon passage and approval of act,
and to be placed in charge and under
the direction of the reclamation SER
vice which is required under the
terms of the bill to make report to
the secretary Of the Interior immedl-
ately upon completion of the said In
Yestigation., This bill is introduced
in pursuance of petition largely
signed by tax payers of the counties
mentioned and was referred to a
committee composed in the main OF
representatives from states interes-
ted in irrigation projects and whom
we believe will be favorable to this
project. Yours truly.

JUST A MOMENT, SIR!
Let Us Explain-Such a Shut
out Had Never Entered
Our Heads

The people of Liberal have formed
a fair association and purchased forty
acres of land mile and a half from
town and will erect buildings thereon
and hold a county fair this fall. This
Is move in the right direction, but
while 1t may be considered that this
editor is exhibiting considerable
cheek in butting into the affairs Of
another state, we make the sugges-
ton that the good people of Liberal
throw the fair open to the people Of
Stevens county, Kansas, and Beaver
county, Okla, to display their prod
ucts and compete for the premiums.
Both OF these counties have done
much to build up Liberal, and the
farmers would greatly appreciate the
extension of such courtesy by the
Seward county fair association, be-
sides we know tnat the farmers Of
Beaver county at least would put
on exhibition samples OF crops, pro-
duce, fine horses, cattle, hogs, fowls,
and other things that 1t would be
hard to beat In any county In the
United States.-Beaver County Re-
publican.
1t was very careless OF us we sup
pose not to have made the specific
statement that the fair was most en-
phatlcally, for and by the people OF
the whole southwest. Beaver and
Stevens counties have for years been
so closely affiliated with Liberal in
all things that we have grown ac-
customed not to think of the invisl-
BILE lines which divide this section.
Liberal would experience sensation
like the man who awoke and found
himself. on a crowded street minus
his trousers, IL she would have fair
and Beaver and Stevens no where In
evidence. Most assuredly Brother
Hill was not "butting in"--the fair
is open to Beaver county and Stevens
county-it doesn't have to be thrown
open-it never was shut, and We
hope 1t never will be.

We saw a fellow in town the 9th
er day with a roll Of bills big enough
to choke a COW and In explanation
of the roll he said he had been stack
ing wheat all during harvest at the
rate of five plunks a day. He was
looking mighty good and as though
the work agreed with him and the
only mark the world left on him was
a slight abrasion of the nose where
the sun had hit him a few licks.

IN BEHALF OF THE
PUBLIC HEALTH.

DIR. Harvey w. Wiley, the pure food
;pert and former chief chemist of the
Agricultural Department, has made a
powerful appeal 10 his fellow republi-
cans to support Wilson and Marshall,
and from which we make the following
extracts:
81 support the Democratic nominees
in the full knowledge that many OF the
prominent Democrats in Congress have
been in full sympathy with the paralysis
of the food law in behalf of the unholy
dollar. But when the Democratic
President and Vice President lend the
aid of their powerful sympathy in be
half of the public health those of their
own party not in sympathy with them
will be robbed OF their power for evil.
If Roosevelt or Taft be chosen the
soldiers of fraud and adulteration will
be impregnably entrenched for another
four years and benzoateS, SulfiIeS and
adulterated alcoholic beverages will
nave new lease OF life.
81 believe also that President Wilson
will renovate the Department OF Agri-
culture, reeking, as it has been for the
past twelve years, with scandals and
lavoritSm. He will see 10 it that the
Bureau of Animal Industry will protect
the public health instead of the efforts
of the packers TO sell diseased meats
under the deceptive phrase ~. S. In

Wilson no more PinchotS will be kick.
ed out of the service, no more unspeak
able McCabeS will exercise diCtatorial
powers. There will be no more cotton
leaks and Jungle atrocities, no more
Everglades SwindIeS. Buccaneering,
Boosting and bunCombe will give place
10 sane efforts for the promotion of real
agriculture and the public health.
Under Wilson the Department OF
Agriculture will be restored TO speak
ing terms with the State Agricultural
Colleges and Experiment Stations, and
the State officials will no longer be re-
garded as inferior beings, living only on
the IargesS OF Washington cabal
ask all who want honesty and faithful
service in the Department of Agricul-
ture, the promotion of public health,
and executives who have grown 10 man
