LAFE YouNGs DETECTION.

Lafe Young Is taken sharply to task
by the Burlington Hawk-Eye for his.
unwise and unwarranted desertion OF
President Taft and his friends and the
friends who stood Loyalty by him in
the senatorial fight. The latter were
at least entitled to a conference be-
fore step Of such Importance to the
Republican party in Iowa was taken,
The Hawk-Eye regards mis- attitude,
as set forth in the Capital, as ..un-
tenable and absurd" inasmuch as
there is no possible justification for
abadoning President Taft, who has
been warm friend of Senator Young
and desired his election to the sem
ate. The President felt with regretful
keeness the detection of Senator Ken
yon but he relied with confidence up
on Senator Young as an answering
friend whose loyalty could not be
shaken under any circumstances .
After pointing out that the reasons as
signed in the Capital are fallacious,
the Hawk-Eye concludes:
There is no foundation for the
statement that Iowa wants Senator
Albert B. Cummins nominated for
President at the coming Chicago con-
vention. For while it is quite true
there is a strong opposition to Presi-
dent Taft in Iowa-whether so per
cent of the Republican voters is con-
jectural and undemonstrable now =
It is also true that large per cent of
that opposition favors Roosevelt. Any
intelligent man with his eyes and ears
open knows that. Anybody can easily
demonstrate it by going among his
ineighbcrs and inquiring. or by keeping
tab on the first fifty or one hundred
d men he meets on the streets. This Is
true of Burlington. it is true of Des
Moines. it is true of almost any sec
tion of the state.
when. therefore. the Capital at
tempts to justify its desertion of Taft
upon the assumption that Iowa is fol-
Cummins for President 1t reveals q
j state of mind singularly disqualified
! to rightly judge political conditions

THE ANGEL OF PATIENCE.

THE ANGEL OF PATIENCE.
To weary hearts, to mourning homes,
Gods meekest angel gently comes;
No power has He to Danish pain.
Or give US back our lost again;
And yet in tenderest love our dear
And Heavenly Father sends him here.
There's quiet in that Angels glance,
There's rest in his still countenance!
He mocks no grief with idle cheer,
Nor wounds with words the mourn.
er's ear;
But ills and woes he may not cure.
He kindly trains US to endure.
Angel Of Patience! sent to calm
Our feverish brows with cooling
balm:
To lay the storms Of hope and fear,
And reconcile life's smile and tear:
The throbs of wounded pride to still,
And make our own our Fathers will.
o thou who mourned on thy way,
With longings for the close OF day
He walks with thee. that Angel kind,
And gently whispers, BE resigned:
Bear up, bear on, the end shall tell
The dear Lord ordereth all thingf

SOME ELECTION RESULTS.

In summarizing election results the
Mt. Pleasant Journal recalls that
Senator Kenyon was originally select
ed by the aid of standpatters and a
good many have been supporting him
since. AS to the governorship the
Journal says:
CLARK has undoubtedly won the
governorship. Though classed as a
progressive he also received large
support from the standpatters. In fact
the leading standpat papers in the
state like The Gate City, the Cedar
Rapids Republican, the Burlington
Hawk-Eye, the Sioux City Journal,
etc. strongly supported Clark. 1t was
thought that he would unite the party
and do away with factional strife
Senator Seeiey served under him in
the senate, and holds him in high re.
gard. The Register and Leader for
some reason made bitter fight on
Clark for the benefit Of Holden. but
without success. 1t is probably fortu-
nate for the state that Clark was
nominated. He has the good will of
all factions which la very necessary
in view of the disturbed conditions
within the party y
The Journal also has word con
corning the vote for Congressman
Kennedy, as follows:
Congressman Kennedy surprised
everybody by the run he made. He
carried every precinct in Henry coun-
! ty. Mr.. Kennedy ran exceedingly
we'll all over the district He has a
strong hold upon his constituents and
| will easily be reelected.

KEEP A SWEET ICE BOX.
Cleaned Once a Week, Il Will Not
faint Foods.

Watch your refrigerator closely
this summer. It's better to have no
refrigerator at all than to have one
not perfectly clean and sweet
In the first place keep the shelves
Of the food chamber in good order.
Wipe up any spilled liquids at once,
and keep all crumbs brushed away.
Do not allow odds and ends Of food
to accumulate in the refrigerator II
they are not used in a reasonable
time, throw them away before they
begin to spoil and faint the other
food
Milk absorbs odors very readily, as
do most cooked foods also, though in
a less degree. 1t is best, then, to
cover closely such articles as fish,
cooked cabbage, and the like, when
they must be put into the Ice box.
Once a week the refrigerator should
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1912-06-28

have a thorough cleaning. Remove
all food from the food chamber, COW
er, and set in a cool place. Then re-
move the racks and wash them well
with hot soap suds. Rinse with hot
soda water, then with clear, hot wa
ter. Wipe dry and set in the SUI to
air. Borax or ammonia may be used
instead of soda.
Wash the interior Of the food cham
Der thoroughly in the same manner,
using a small scrub brush. Use
sharp wooden skewer to clean the
grooves and lodges that cannot be
reached with the brush.
The ice chamber next demands at
tention. Remove the ice, wrapping
it in a piece of old flannel or news
paper to prevent melting. Then
wash out the ice chamber with not
suds, and rinse first with hot soda
water, then with clear, hot water
The drain pipe should be cleaned
with a flexile wire to which bit Of
cloth is attached. Then pour down
1t hot soda water, and afterwards
boiling water. See that every part
Of the refrigerator is wiped dry. and
leave it open an hour or more to air.
If the refrigerator drains into the
house drain, the traps must be care
fully cleaned and kept in good work
ing order: n a drain pan Is used, 1t
should be washed in the same way
as the other parts Of the refrigera-
tor.
II this cleaning Is done regularly
every week, it will not take long or
be very hard, and you will never no.

POINTERS FOR THE MoToRIsT
Repairing Punetures in Inner Tubes.

When a tube is punctured, the
first thing to do is TO find out II the
puncture is in one wall Of the tube
only or If both walls are perforated.
Next careful examination should be
made to determine that no part of
the article which caused the puncture
has lodged inside the tube.
Then select red para patch"
says a recent Michelin instruction
book, considerably larger on all
sides than the injury to be repaired
and clean the patch carefully on its
flat, or unbeveled side, with emery
paper. Now lay the tube on a con.
venient flat surface, such as the
dash, or step, and with emery paper
clean a space around the puncture
slightly larger than the patch to be
used. Coat both the cleaned surfaces
with cement and after this has dried
apply a second coat. In about ten
minutes, when the surfaces are still
'tacky' press the patch firmly in
place, taking care that the edges do
not curl II the patch Is bevel-edged,
little difficulty will be experienced.
Now tap the patch lightly all over
its surface with some round, smooth
object Ike the end Of tool handle.
II done carefully this will exclude
every particle Of air and the cement.
ed surfaces will adhere perfectly.
Put smooth, flatsufaced weight
on the patch and leave the repair
thus as long as practicable"
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1912-06-28

throughout the United States and all
its possessions, and in all classes Of
cases so far as practicable. Increase
respect for the courts by improving
them and their methods Of transact
ing their business.
The foregoing matters do not cover
the whole field of desirable reforms,
but it is manifest that the first great
work to be done is to restore to the
Senate its representative character
and increase respect for the courts
by eliminating superannuated and
unworthy judges and abolishing those
senseless forms, absurd delays and
outrageous costs which now cause so
much criticism Of the courts and tend
to bring the whole legal profession
into disrepute. The way to inspire
respect for the courts is to make
them worthy Of it.
With all branches Of the govern
ment fairly and securely representa-
tive of the American people, the mos
difficult task now before them is to
restore healthy business conditions
by carefully guarding every legiti-
mate undertaking against the tyran-
nv of combined and consecrated f.
nancial power. No useful enterprise
should be crippled or hampered in
any way from accomplishing all wor-
thy objects, but in all useful and
laudable undertakings it should be
relieved from the menaces of organi'
zed greed or malice. With diversified
industries, relieved from the blight o
monopoly, competing in the marke'
for labor, and the cost of living re
duced by relief from tariff taxation
and protective tribute, industrious
men acting in concert and with in
telligent regard for the interests o.
themselves, their fellows and the pull
lie may find steady employment ant
enjoy their share Of prosperity. NJ
