MARSH HERE TO

Barton W. Marsh and George J. D.
Williams of the Paradox Land COM
pany arrived in the city last night
from four-days' trip over the route
of the proposed ParadoX-Grand juno
tion auto road. They found the
trail in good condition, but spent
some time covering the distance be-
cause of a desire to look over the
entire country for more feasible
routes. They believe. however. that
the present route is the best yet
proposed and that the line will be
built along that trail.
I'VE are now awaiting the decision
of the supreme court on the highway

eide favorably we hope to get about
$4,000 or S12 200 from the state

COWBOYS AND BUCKING HORSES
In the Wild West and Far EAST
Thrilling Exhibitions.

One of the many interesting sides
of the truly western type. the cow
boy. is exploited ito advantage In
Buffalo Bills Wild West and Paw
nee Bills Far East. The manage
ment has organized goodly band
of these rugged westerners and they
will illustrate the daring equestrian
deeds which have been repeated up
on the open prairie. They will give
riding exhibitions and samples OF
the cowboys sport, and will illustrate
with real bronchos the difficult
science of broncho busting.
The genuine cowboy is fast passing
into history and his long career OF
usefulness in developing the western
wiIds will not soon be forgotten.
Bucking bronchoes are no Pigment
of fancy; they are as real as the
stampede, and to successfully COM
pete wit hthese agencies for injury
and death he must be Of the genuine

history as cowboys.
In bucking, the broncho applies all
the force Of his body, exerts its MIN
bleness, and evidences remarkable
dexterity in the contortions of body,
head and legs, which he employs to
dislodge his distastefur rider. He
may Jump into the air and land on
all four feet with his legs stiff as
board; he may swirl and jump and
kick and buck in general melange-
of devilishness; but the rider must
be ever alert as he cannot know In
Just which direction the horse will
next Jump or what he will next do.
It is quite impossible to adequately
describe the antics Of 'bucking
broncho; it is performance which
can only be fully appreciated by be-
ling witnessed. An unusual effort has
been made this season to secure
rare lot of outlaw terrors" in the

WHY 1T COSTS MORE TO LIVE.

The Kansas Farmer is more inter-
.ested in the tariff on pigs than on
pig iron. Pig iron cannot reach tine
interior of this country, and could
not If it were free, on account of the
freight. This is true of many articles
over which there is a tariff contrO-
versy.
The cost of living is high because
the cost Of production is high
wages are high and raw material is
high.
The average man and woman
lives better, dresses better, and has
more conveniences than the people
of the last generation most OF
which cost more. No one wants to
go back to the old conditions. Living
might be cheaper If the farmer won d
sell, his corn for ten cents and his
wheat for fifty cents a bushel. but
conditions would be no BETTER II q
good for the average man, There
would be less work at less pay. Liv'
ing is only cheap where men are
cheap. Reasonably good prices are
best of all.
This country is prosperous only
when its producers, its laborers, arr
prosperous. It's prosperity canno- b.
enhanced or maintained by taking
production from the hands Of its owl
working men and giving it to foreign
llaborers. -Leavenworth Post.

THE PARTY THAT MADE GOOD.

THE PARTY THAT MADE GOOD.
There IL one party In the United
States that has been tested and has
proved It's capacity. No one who
passed through the hard times Of
the last Democratic administration
can ever forget the general business
distress OF that period. and the lack
of employment for millions OF skill
ed and industrious workers. In the
middle OF the calamitous term OF
four years elections began to go
overwhelmingly against the Demo-
cratic party. and 1t was put out OF
power in 1897. For the next thir-
teen years the Republicans had con-
ltrol OF all branches Of the govern
ment, an unusual evidence OF the
confidence and satisfaction OF the
people. In the election of 1890 the
Republican party promised to re-
place diversity and administrative
failure with prosperity and compe-
tent government. The pledge has
been SO amply fulfilled that the ia
yorable results are beyond what was
expected. Figures of expansion since
1897 make an unequale showing.
II the Republican party is dis
placed in November It will be with
this record of unexampIed good times
and broad national development,
Some things the party has accom-
plished were not included in its
pledges. because they were not fore
seen as issues of the near future.
Among the events not looked for
was war with Spain. 1t was ably
carried through and paid for. The
building of the Panama Canal was
outside the range of definite calcu-
lation in 1895. 1t is nearing COM
pletion, and half it's cost so far has
been met from current treasury
funds. Outlying possessions, sud
denly acquired, have been put In
good working order. The difficult
secondary war in the Philippines was
well managed. Among the definite
promises of 1896 redeemed are the
gold standard and a restored protec-
tive policy. Exports Of American
manufacturers have doubled in ten
years. Agriculture and mining have
similarly advanced. A surplus In
the treasury is maintained. These
are but few of the big items OF
Republican achievement since 1886
Is 1t the part of wisdom to punish
such a party? Why not thank. good
fortune for the privilege of keeping
1t in power?-Globe-D

FARM PRODUCTS AND POLITICS.


A well known Democratic editor
said, early in 1908, that nothing ex-
cept a crop failure, pestilence and
a panic would enable his party to
beat the Republicans in a presiden-
tiaI year. 1t will be noticed that
none of these calamities Is In sight
now, and the election is less than
three months away. In fact, the
country is In a rather salubrious con-
dition, hygienically. Not only IS
there no sign of panic, but busi-
ness OF all sorts is improving IN q
degree which has gone beyond all
expectations. This is true OF every
important branch of activity. More
over, government crop reports in
dictate that this will be a year OF
great abundance. In the aggregate
the grain crops will break all the
records. For the first time In the
country's history the products OF the
farms will pass the $4,000, 10000
mark
According to all the presidents
this ought to be good year for the
Republican party. The party which Is
in power in the nation in year OF
plenty, as this is, usually wins. When
the people find all the physical con-
ditions favorable they generally steer
clear of fresh experiments In poll
tics. Only in periods of calamity
when everything seems to be going
wrong. and when worse conditions
threaten, do the masses OF the pubic
turn from the party which is upper
most in the government. They want
a change, believing that a change
OF any sort could not harm them'
and might, possibly. help them. The
strike in the Carnegie works at
Homestead, Pa, in 1892, and the
prominence OF the Pinkerton guards
there on the side of Carnegie aroused
a poular prejudice against the iron
master, and as there were LABOR
troubles In other places also, ~
employers il all cases being pre-
sumed to be Republicans. a wave
Of popular prejudice was created
which defeated Harrison for re-elec-
ton and gave Cleveland his second
term.
But the physical outlook in 1912
Il pleasing. Nobody will assert that
the Republican party deserves all
the credit for the great crops of this
year. Nor will any Republican say
that his party Is entirely responsible
for the favorable condition of the
public health. 1t will be remember
ed. however, that the national gov
eminent, a few years ago, assumed
control of the quarantine arrange
ments at the country's ports, and
an Improvement in conditions set in
Immediately. The wisdom OF the Re-
publican party in conducting the
affairs Of the government has had
much to do With the trade rally
which is seen on all sides. All Of
these considerations will help the
Republican party on November 81

THE way OF DISAPPOINTMENT.


While Abilene has received the
news of John Flack's capture with
varying emotions, 1t is much sat
isfaction to have demonstrated again
the old principle that it is very diiS
ficult for the iIl-doer to avoid the
punishment for his crime. John
Fiack has suffered more during the
/. past two years than most people
suffer in life time. Even though
he had enjoyed the luxury Of all the
$40 900 that. is missing frcHav the
assets Of the bank he managed, ne
has more than paid the cost In two
years OF lodging and suffering
The lesson of John FTack is too
obvious to need any sermonizing.
No man who ever lived in Dickin-
son county had a greater opportunity
to accomplish things that were worth
while. No citizen Of this county
ever stood on a firmer foundation
for establishing record OF success
and happiness. But John Flack
threw It all away in pursuit of some
wild dream OF high finance and Will
end in the penitentiary.
Some young folks may be puzzled
to know Just why he came to grief.
In the average sermon and the aver
age story the man who is guilty OF
crime, particularly one of embezzle-
ment or defalcation, usually paves
the way by riotous living and wick
edness and extravaganza. John
Flack was guilty of none OF these.
He lived a clean, modest life In q
little country town and so far as
personal actions were concerned the
neighbors had at no time reason to
gossip. There was no woman In the
case. There were no gambling OF
drunkenness or things of that sort
which usually go with a wasted
career. He had, however lack Of
integrity and the good common horse
sense which should have guided hin
to a place OF permanent high stand
ing in the community. Perhaps i
was not so spectat ular q waste o
money as though he had been q iiber
tine and a drunkard. but It's effec
upon the community and upon him

has many forms and the story o
John Flack is evidence that Il p IN

no matter with how much grace 20
