A Roosevelt item from New York:
The Republican state committee has
received official reports Of congress
sional district meetings in forty OF
New York's forty-three districts and
announcement was made today that
at least thirty-six of the districts
had designated as candidates for dele
gates to the Chicago convention sup
porters of President Taft. Candi-
dates from four districts, according
to the announcement, are Roosevelt
supporters. Three districts have not
been heard from, but their delegates
were claimed for Taft. New York
has 90 delegates in the national con-
vention. 1t is asserted that Taft
will have at least IS of them.

MUST DELIVER FARM
MACHINERY IN TIME.

If a farmer loses a part or all OF
his crop because of the failure OF
company manufacturing harvesting
machinery to deliver to him at a
given. time, he may recover dam
ages. He may recover damages COW
ering the loss to him by reason OF
his inability to harvest his crops. A
case of this character was decided
by the supreme court at Topeka,
coming from Graham county.
Carl Suffer had purchased two
headers and binders from the Inter
national Harvester company to be
delivered on given date. The day
arrived and the machinery was not
delivered. Suffer was not able to
harvest when the proper time came
and brought suit against the cons
pany for damages. He recovered In
the district court and the Harvester
company appealed ON technically
The decision of the lower court was
affirmed by the supreme court.

HUSSARS PLEASED-LECTURE
COURSE TO BIZ CONTINUED

The Hussars, a singing and play
ing band of nine clean-cut young
men, with their entertainment last
night closed another successful sea-
son of the Abilene lecture course.
The largest audience of the season
was out to hear the young men and
the patrons were well pleased. The
young men are all talented musicians,
both vocal and instrumental, hnd
they put on one of the best musical
entertainments of it's class that has
been given in Abilene.
That the lecture course will be
continued another season was de-
cided at the close of last nights
entertainment. BY the request of
Rev. C. A. Cole, the following BUSH
nessmen remained and after short
meeting pledged their support for
the continuation of the lecture course,

The lecture course this winter
came out about even financially. 800
seats were not sold this season and
the money left from last year tided
the committee over this year free
from debt.
The lecture course committee, NJ.
H. Malott, Rev. c.. A. Cole, Rev. w.
H. Schrock and Rev. w. M. Balch
deserve much credit for their eff
cient management The numbers
this winter were all first class and
they met the hearty approval of all
the patrons.
The lecture course next winter will
probably consist of seven entertain
ments, two lectures, three musical
numbers, one by a magician and
one complimentary.

The kind of parcels post bill
which has been attached as a rider
to the postoffice appropriation bill
would be fine thing for the retail
mail order houses. 1t would help
them work the farmer in great shape,
but 1t doesn't help the farmer any.
1t denies the farmer the privilege
of sending products to town. If a
mail order house in Chicago wants
to deliver a package to a farmer in
Sedgwick county, he can deliver him
an eleven pound package for rs
cents, but II the farmer wants to
deliver an eleven pound package to
town or to some one living ON another
rural route, he wall have to pay
SLAP for the privilege. The rep
resentatives of the retail mail order
houses seem to have gotten just
about what they wanted in this pro-
posed parcels post bill.-Wichita Bea-

The heavy SHOWS of 1912 have,
doubtless, been like showers OF mon
ey for. the farmers of Kansas. But
they. have also given them a lesson
as valuable; and that lesson is the
necessity for good roads. Farmers
are going to lose q lot Of money in
the next few weeks because Of poor
roads. But many of them win not
know it because they have never
figured It out. Some Of the fine
points Of good road making viii be

THE PARCELS POST.

The parcels post bill, while carry
ling virtue on its sleeve, carries de-
struction on its shoulders for the
merchants OF the villages and smaller
cities where the catalogue habit
has become chronic, and the wage
earners turn their earnings into the
mail order houses.
There is no good reason why the
government should harness its horses
and hitch them to the delivery wag-
ons for the mail order houses.
While It is true that the four very
good reasons discovered by Post
master General John Wanamaker,
uttered a score Of years ago, are
equally good at this time, they are
offset by the modern temple OF
trade-the catalogue merchant.
When Wanamaker gave utterance
to his fears at that time and the
people thought. that the parcels post
was an assured fact, others, active
and alert to the future business OF
the country, laid their plans to be-
come masters of the trade through
the mail order business. The de-
livery by the government of any and
every parcel offered as mail matter
threw a shining light on the ambi-
lions of men who were willing to
have the government work for them
and deliver goods they never owned,
but were enabled to sell through the
distribution of catalogues that carry
fairy tales of values to the fireside
of the inhabitant where the express
companies could not reach them.
The express companies may be all
that they are condemned for and II
relief against the tariff of express
rates is to be found let it be found
without saddling an unknown ex-
pense on the postoffice department
and run at the expense of the gov
eminent.

Or. WILEY TO
Be AN EDITOR
Will Resign as Chief Of Government
Chemistry Bureau.
NOT TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY
Has Asked Appointment Of Successor
Who Will Carry Out Work He
Has Regun-Up to Secre-
tary Wilson.

Washington, Mar. 12.-Dr. Harvey
w. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chem
tstry in the department of agricul-
ture, has decided to resign his office
and accept lucrative business offers
which he has had under consideration
for several weeks. There have been
rumors of such an intention on his
part during the last fortnight, but
they have been positively denied by
DR.. Wiley.
The public has settled down to the
expectation that he would continue to
lead the great struggle to safeguard
the public health by preventing the
adulteratiOn of foods-a struggle with
which his name is indelibly connected
for all time.
The story "Not Ripe"
1t is known that there have been
conferences between DR.. Wiley and
Secretary Wilson, in which the sub
feet OF DR.. Wiley's resignation has
been discussed, but when the secre-
tary was asked If he could confirm the
statement, he replied:
ITO whom has DR.. Wiley rendered
his resignation and continued, mot
to me surely. He hasn't told me Of
it yet"
A moment later he added: THAT
story isn't ripe enough to pick yet"
The considerations which are said
to have led to DR.. Wiley's determine
ton to sever his connection with the
government service are that he has
received an offer of q large salary to
become editor of a well known maya
zine. At the same time he is to have
what is the equivalent of another
large salary from his engagements on
the lecture platform, where he is TO-
day one of the most popular speakers.
Thirty Years In Service.
In view of the exceptionally large
income offered, DR.. Wiley finds 1t
practically unavoidable to comply. He
has given nearly 30 years of the best
of his life to the public service, and
has accomplished for the American
people a work that is fundamentally
great in its purpose, scope and com
pleteness.
It is understood that DR.. Wiley will
not give up his work Immediately, az
he is DESTROYS Of obtaining the ap
pointment of successor who will
carry forward his life work along the
same lines Of protection TO- the public
He has indicated his preferences to
Secretary wilson, but thus far has
had no assurances that his recon
msndations will be accepted. The ap
pointment is in the power Of the sec
retary Of Agriculture.
