MAJOR PH|LPOT
MAKES ADDRESS
Tells Why He is Candidate for
Congress From the Big
Tenth District.


B. Philpot, candidate for congress
from the Tenth district on the pro-
gressive ticket, spoke today in place
of Judge Stevens Of Boone who was
unable to be here. He was intro
duced by J. D. Coughlin, president
OF the fair association. The subject
of the majors lecture was political
Issues of the Day" Mr.. Philpot in
his opening remarks said, II would
rather be progressive than any
thing on earth and I am going to
give you few reasons why l quit
the republican party. There are
only two parties in the field today
and those are the Peoples and the
Bosses parties. have seen the
time when the people did not have
anything to say even about their
taxes. The Bosses had all the say.
Up to eleven years ago when Theo-
dore Roosevelt first was president no
one had gone against the bosses. He
did and from that time to this he
has been for the people, and their
rights. That's one reason l am for
him. Another is that he does things.
and I am always for the man who
does things. Some people are even
asking what he has done. can tell
you of scores of things; here are a
few of them. When he came to the
presidency every son of a gum and
his brother in the country was rid
ing on passes. Today only those who
work for the railroads are doing
that. Again eleven years ago not a
thing had been done toward the
Panama canal. He first helped the
country of Panama gain its inde-
pendence and then pushed along the
work on the canal so that it will be
finished in another year. ~
he went after the stealing
of land in the public domain and
he went after it so hard that one
of the Oregon senators committed
suicide rather than suffer disgrace
and another Kansas senator landed
in the penitentiary.
These are a few things he &C
complished before he went
on his hunting trip and left man,
whom he thought would stand up
for the people, but who finally came
into the control of the bosses.
After the convention at Chicago
this year when Roosevelt refused to
run on the republican ticket on ac-
count of the stealing of delegates by
the Taft forces, left that party too,
for too, am opposed to graft. The
republicans say that this has been
going on for years, but it hasn't
been done except another time this
year at the democratic convention.
which met at Baltimore. Over two
hundred thousand majority wanted
Champ Clark to get the nomination
at that time but delegates were TAX
en- from him and given to Woodrow
Wilson, the partrician and aristo-
crat, who knows nothing of the peo-
pie and what they want.
Now you know why am running
for congress on the progressive tick
ct and If you cast your vote for me,
as | hope you will, your confidence
will not be misplaced.

perhaps half the fault had been his.
This was not sign Of weakness, but
of a sense Of justice too we'll leavened

as much as in the other, doubtless
with some benign purpose in perspec-
tive. Now, 1t might be that this charm
ing woman had really never received
his letter; such things have been
known to go astray. In any case he
could not say that he had written.
That would have cast doubt upon
her word, an objectionable rudeness.
So, for her very beauty alone, he gave
her the full benefit of the doubt.

you in the least" he said, his helmet
now nicely adjusted under his arm.

For he had determined to return to
America with a pound or two on his

this determination was based upon
many sacrifice in comfort, sacrifices
he had never confided to his parents.
1t was not in the nature Of things to
confess that the first woman he had
met in his wanderings should have
been the last. AS he took the girls

The echo of 1t still rang in his ears.

1t seemed to him that Fortune Ched-

him adroitly into an alley round It.

YOUR EYES.

The comparative value OF eyesight
and reading Ia set forth In a note. to
which is devoted a page In the new
book. Glass Teaching and Manage
ment," by William Estabrook Chan
cellor. Your eyes are worth more
to you than any book. Your safety
and your success in life depend on
your eyes; therefore take care OF
them. Always hold your head up
when you read. Hold your book
fourteen inches from your face. Be
sure that the light Is clear and good.
Never read in a bad light. Never
with the sun shining directly on the
book Never face the light in read
ing. Let the light come from be-
hind or over your left shoulder.
Avoid books or paper printed indis-
tinctly or in small type. Rest your
eyes by looking away from the book
every few minutes. Cleanse your
eyes night and morning with pure
water" This advice is included in
