A Prairie Concert

Such is the title of a literary
gem illustrated and printed by
the author, John Poore, of
Greensburg. geographically
it is one of the most unique
pieces of work that has come un-
der our observation. The front
l;spiece, tMiles of Silence" is a
picture of the setting sun, rest
ing his huge disk upon the edge
of the distant horizon, his last
rays illuming the desert waste
of Drowned grass and sage
brush, just such picture with
which we of the west are familiar
and which brings to the Nature
Lover realization of the vast
ness. the i'm mmutability and the
solemnity of the wilderness.
The character is a weary
traveller on the plains, accom-
panied only by his horse and
dog, who, after his evening meal,
unsllngs his beloved violin, and
10 the hush of the approaching
twilight, to the accompaniment
of the chirp of insects, and a
bowling coyote in the distance,
improvises story in music.
The bow, lowering over the
strings, tells first the story of
happy childhood; then the joys,
the griets of boyhood, merging
from thence in a sad, sweet
strain from boyhood into man
hood, then dashing into a fierce
cresando of tones murmurIng
with dread, screaming with the
disappointment or a SorroWtul
life, then mellow, wailing minors
whispered one to another as he
started the death march to old
age"
1t is the story of a dream ex-
pressed by the deft touches of
the master violinist, told in
dreamy, touchy style which ev-
eryone with soul can appreci-
ate, and it should be in the IL
brary of every lover of good lit
erature. 1t would make an ideal
Holiday present, appealing
alike to the lover of literature
and of art, and while we do not
know the price of the volume,
copies can be obtained of the
author for very nominal sum.

Wide Awake

A revival has struck the Meade
Encampment l. O. o. F. and as
a result class of six candidates,
two of which were shown the
mysteries of the Patriarchal De-
gree last Friday night. After
lodge work was over a delicious
luncheon consisting of pres,
doughnuts and coffee we're serv-
ed, The pies and doughnuts
were certainly fine and the cof-
fee was of Red Wolf as furnish
ed by F. w. Flick and from the
quantity drank there certainly
must be something to it.
The proof of the pudding is in
the eating. Come to Encamp-
ment. One Who Was There.

January Banquet Sure

The Democratic banquet set
for January 5th and called off
Thursday on account of the in
ability of Secretary of State
William ]. Bryan, the chiefspeak-
er to attend will be held after all.
Secretary Byran will deliver the
principal address as planned.
Following telegram received
Thursday by Miles H. Mulroy,
president of the Kansas Demo

address was cancelled on account
of a diplomatic reception to be
given in Washington. Last night
Mr.: Mulroy received another
telegram from Secretary Bryan

been postponed and that he
would be able to attend the Kan
sas Democratic club banquet.
The telegram to Mr.. Mulroy

W. ]. Bryan.

Democratic club are elated over
the prospect of final consuma-

cal love feast and announce that
the banquet will be held exactly
as planned. The affair will be
one of the largest of its kind so
far as Democrats are concerned,
and besides the Secretary of
State will include on the speak
ing list, Senator Thompson, Gov.
George H. Hodges, Mrs. Cora
G. Lewis, member of the state
board of education administra-
ton, and Miles H. Mulroy, pres
ident of the Kansas Democratic
club.
The committee in charge of
the banquet had matured most
of the plans for the feast, when
Bryan wired Thursday that he
could not attend, and has but
few details to complete before
January 5th.
The com mittee urges all demo-
Gratis own intend attending the
Bryan Banquet January 5th, to

our state this year, and in every
one of his lectures uncovered the
Capper advertisements in all
their moral perverseness. AS
the election was held year ago,
the wholesomeness of Mr.. Dar-
ling's criticism could not be
chargeable to political influence. :"
quote froIa a letter from Mr..
Earl r. Delay, the Prohibition
nominee for Governor. The
Prohibition party did not have
their candidates name printed
on the ballot, but Mr.. Delay was
their nominee.-He says:
Since Arthur ,Capper was
making a great effort to secure
the prohibition and temperance
vote of the state on the ground
that he was and had always been
a strong temperance man, | felt
it my duty to call attention to
the fact that while posing ais
temperance man he had been
running large quantities of liquor
advertisements in some of his
publications, and therefore did
more than any other man in the
state to defeat the object of our
prohibition legislation, and be-
cause of the fact and because of
his dupllcity, he should not re-
ceive the votes of any sincere
temperance man. / considered
you preferable to Capper, but
the preference was solely on the
ground that Capper was practic-
ing duplicity and you were not.
Had Capper not made the at
tempts he did to control the pro-
hibition vote, but had stood fairly
on his party record, ! would not
have expressed any such pref
erence--in fact, would have writ
ten no sueh letter. Prohibition
lists have no preference between
candidates of other parties, but
they resent any attempt to de-
ceive the voters on their issue"
What portion of these remarks
is untrue! What Kansan desires
to say today that Kansas voters
did not withhold their support
from the man responsible for the
vile tone of the advertising col
umns Arthur Capper controls?
/ do not object to criticism of
my Columbus speech, but | do
INSIST that the public knew what
it is that Mr.. capper's papers
object to.

the lead of Mr.. Capper's "To-
peka Capital, " and they set up a
doleful wall of criticism because
of what the Governor said as to
the "moral issue" during the
last campaign.
Last week Governor Hodges
wrote the following to the "Ot-
tawa Guardian" which had join
ed in the chorus.
II have noticed your criticism
on my Columbus speech. If you
are fair-and believe you are
you will publish the following
"The Executive of this state
has been recently subjected to
some criticism-for the most
part in the publication whose
policies are controlled by the

made that the state campaign in
1912 hinged on moral issue. /
have no disposition to dodge
criticism, or to dodge facts. Pub
lie men may temporarily dodge
criticism, but they cannot dodge
facts. No man should fear crit
icism. If it is fair, he has no
ground for complaint. If il is
un Just, it will react to his bene-
fit. Public men must be bound
by facts.
$50 far l have seen but garbled
versions and reports of my
speech. With out disposition to
criticise the newspapers, COM
ment on the fact that newspapers
deriving their revenues largely
tftom their advertising columns,
are not much given to criticising
the publisher who devotes more
thought to the cash consideration
he derives from advertisements
than to the benefits that come to
his readers. / quote from my
Colum bus speech, in order that
the public may know just what
said and on Just what based my
conclusions that there was "a
moral issue in the campaign, j
stated as follows
1.-TWO Democrats contested for
the Gubernatorial nomination at
the primary election last year
one upon an open saloon platform
and the other upon a law enforce
ment platform. We Democrats
settled the question among our
selves at the primary. The
whiskey element did not support
the Democratic candidate, but to
the contrary, lent its influence to
the election of the Republican
candidate for Governor. The
! Gubernatorial race became a
moral question. The Democrat
ic candidate was business man,
the Republican was publisher,
with normal majority of 81, 500
behind him; the owner of dozen
farm journals and daily papers,
with world of wealth at his
command-which he spent Law
lishly. He was defeated-and
why? Because he had been
carrying in some of his papers,
whiskey advertisements of the
old fashioned kind, where the
purchase of four quarts at a
stipulated price entitled you to
an additional quart free. These
same papers carried lewd, in
decent advertisements for the
prevention of motherhood, pow
ders that would make you irri-
sistable to your sweetheart,
marked decks, love charms, etc.
So vile had they been that an ed
itor of national renown had
branded my opponent as "a hum
an vampire" Mr.. Darling, a

Christmas

Christmas means the Day of
Light, the Great Light that came in
to the world and the world knew it not.
That same Light long ago rose in
glorious dawn midst the fields of Eden,
but it set in sorrow and in woe in the
twilight of mans first sin. For CEN
tures it lay hidden behind the clouds
that hung like funeral pail over the
guilty earth, while man CROPPED his way
through darkness of soul down lifelong
slope of death. But in the hour of
darkest night it burst again upon the
earth in that divine song, peace on
Earth. From that first Christmas
Day to this, man has been steadily climb.
ing higher, still higher with his face
turned towards the Light, and in the
glory of its rays growing more divine
and Christlike.

The pupils OF the First and
the Second grade, were enter

last Thursday night. Manager
Phelps reserved seats for the
little folk, the same being plac-

by arIbbon drapery. The spec
ial features of the show: first a
picture of the little people and
their teacher,s both picture and
slide having been made by pho
tographer Backe, and a special

linger long in the memory of all
these little people.
