Obviously The general advancement
Of the Caucasian IS not due to racial
Integrity, but the contrary. The belief
that he Is composite has within the
past few years decidedly manifested
itself. Mr. Burbank says IN personal
letter that this is truo Of all the lead
ang types today, while Professor Franz
Boas holds, according to press reports,
that the so called white race emboGieS
not only the ancient Mongol, but the
primitive Negroid. Several able an
thropologiGts at the recent first uniycT
sal races congress, London, expressed
radical, sweeping conclusions, which
ten years ago would have been de-
nounced as dangerously wrong. Con-
cerning the universally Of Capacity
under reasonable conditions the writer
percetred and taught 1t score Of
years ago.
In ell this-and It Is only those C
psychic paucity who have to Ec re-
minded-there is nothing which IS q,
Sectiy humbling. The kind Of pride OF
race which includes no arrogance c.
the truth Of compensatory blending; Il
humanly encouraging. That family Is
foolish gs we'll es wicked which know
sngly obstructs the developments Of
another family Of any type. Alliance
by consanguiEity Is impending.
With the recognition Of universal re-
Quirement tic sense Of honor (waivinG
the present local and temporary NOR
bidtty already mcntioned) becomes
more and more normally acute, and SO
this phase Of the conduct Of life Is
bound to be extended beyond the limit
of existing association, for in truth it
is Ri important feature Of the present
universal peace movement.
Apropos OF natures varied centripe-
tai and centrifugal action, Of helpful
alternating divergence and conver-
Rence, 1t Is an interesting specula tive
question whether or not after the pres
snt general movement is approximate
~ completed extensive divergence will
again take place. Cosmopolitan condi-
lions and the assistance Of science in
both expediting and holding the dcsir-
able seem to forbid this, yet we may
imagine 1t brought about by series
OF so called accidents involving extern
sive retrogression or failure in secur-
ing the passing good, which may have

The whole subject is not only i'll

Potato Culture.

Mr.. A. L. Mohler, President of the
Union Pacific, has just effected an
arrangement with Mr.. E. FL. Grub,
greatest living authority on ''Potatoe
Culture under which Mr.. Grub
will devote his time for at least a
year to work among potato growers
along the line of the Union Pacific
and Oregon Short Line. Mr.. Grubb's
efforts will be directed toward
the production of larger and better
crops and the protection of potatoes
from disease.
Mr.. Grubb is native of Carbon
dale. Colo, and an expert on potato
raising. He is also the author of a
book entitled the Potato" which is
pronounced by the officers of the
Federal Department of Agriculture,
to be the premier work of the kind
in existence.
The Union Pacific is the first rail-
road to give recognition to the value
of the potatoe crop, and President
Mohler believes he will greatly aid
the prosperity of the farmers as well
as increase the railroad freight by
his Spud school.

Governor Marshall Speaks Out in
Meeting

John R. Marshall, governor of In
diana, Democratic nominee for vice
president, fiayed Roosevelt and the
Kansas progressives Monday after
noon in his speech in Kansas City,
Kan. Marshall cut away from his
set speeches, forgot for a day the
tariff and national reforms and talk
ed Kansas politics in the Kansas Ian
guage.
In his discussion of the presiden-
tial electoral situation in Kansas,
declared that the position and poll
cies of the Roosevelt followers was
unbecoming that of even a candidate
for constable He talked to large
crowds at all of his four Kansas City
meetings and left on an early train
for ST. Joseph, Mo.
"Now Mr.. Roosevelt claims to be
divorced from the Republican party, .
declared Marshall, divorced on the
grounds of non-support, he added
with a chuckle'' 1.-The progressives
have renounced the old party and all
its works and ways. Yet here in
Kansas they purpose to place the Re-
publican emblem above their Pro-
gressive electors and force the Taft
Republicans to do one of three things,
none of which they want to do-to
vote the Progressive ticket; to vote
against their principles and support
the Democratic candidates, or to stay
away from the polls altogether.
'"That may be mark of slick poll
tics he added, 'sbut it isn't a mark
of honest politics. / should like to
get the votes of the Taft Republic
ans in Kansas If they want to vote
for me, but / insist that if they dc
not want to vote for me, they should
have the right to vote for Mr.. Sher-
man. Understand me. / am not
favoring Taft or Roosevelt"
Then dropping into Indiana vern.
ocular, he added: ''I'm agin' both. .
81 can not speak for my distinguish.
ed associate Mr.. Marshall said, but
j can truthfully say for myself that
my ideas of government make me
prefer the loss of Kansas, when the
men of this state have had a chance
to vote as they desire, to winning

as is being worked here-a trick thai

James Hendricks, who was working
for Harry McNulty out in Farming
ton township, Rocks county was
busy doing the evening chores. While
he was putting in hay for two jacks
that were kept there, one broke out
of the barn and attacked the other
that was running in the barn lot.
There was a furious fight ensued,
but James succeeded in separating
them, and got halter and was just
in the act of putting it on one of
them when the animal grabbed his
left arm in its teeth, catching the
arm between the elbow and wrist,
crushing both bones. He went from
there to Tom McCue's place a half
mile away, and Mrs. McCue called
DR.. Book. The arm was dressed, and
he was brought to town, where he
will receive special attention, in the
hope that he will regain the use of
the arm.-Hin City Republican.

No Bull Moose candidate has a
single claim on the vote of any Republi-
can. The Bull Mooser who is running
for office on the republican ticket is
occupying a stolen seat. The man
who is actively aiding and abetting
the Bull Moose party while his name
remains on the Republican ticket
shouldn't get a single Republican
vote. Let him get out like man
and stand where he belongs. Then
if Republicans want to vote for him
he will be getting nothing under
false pretenses. 1t is just as wrong
to obtain votes under false pretenses
as it is to obtain money that way. AS
between the Bull MooSer who is run
ming for Office on a stolen seat and a

one thing to do. Vote for the man
in the honest seat. That's what
