PRUsSlC ACID

Last year the horse disease
was prevalent in Kansas, this
year many cattle have died from
forage poisoning. The stock
are poisoned by eating kafr and
other forage crops. Chemical
action due to the extremely hot
and dry spell has caused Prussic
acid, which is deadly poison, to
form on the stalks and leaves.
This poison seems to be more
fatal to cattle than to horses,
though number of the latter
haye died from the effects of the
poison.
A cure for the poison is said
to be pint of salt dissolved in
a quart of water and given to
the animal Immediately.

WEHRLE WINS

The following is taken from
the Publishers Auxiliary of July
IL, 1913.
"The jury in the case of the
Farmers Life Insurance Co., of
Denver Colorado, VS.. John d.
Wehrle, editor OF the Center
Colorado, Post-Dispatoh, return
ed verdict in favor of Wehrle
at the June term of the Saguache
county district court which has
just closed.
This company sued Wehrle
for $50,0oO damages and asked
for body judgment on account
of some articles appearing in the
Post-Dispatch which attacked
the methods,of this company in
dispesing of its life insurance
stock.
The defendant admitted the
blication of the articles which
referred to the company and
plead the truth of the same.
The trialof the case lasted four
days and was submitted to the
jury without argument.
Wehrle was the principal wit
ness for the defense and showed
that he had made a thorough
study of life insurance and also
the methods of all stock-selling
concerns contemplating entering
the insurance field. The plain
tiffs failed to show where they
had suffered any financial loss
on account of the publications.
They were also una BILE to show
any malice on the part of the
newspaper which took the
ground that the articles had
been published with full know
ledge of conditions and for the
Information of the public.
The verdict has given general
satisfaction over the entire San
LUIS valley, where the Post
Dispatch has for the past two
years been waging unrelenting
warfare upon all promotion
schemes and apparent frauds
upon the public IN all lines"
John Wehrle, referred to in
the above article if well known
in Meade. He was the first
editor of this paper and is a
brother of the present manage
ment.

TAMMANY
CRITICISES
NeeIey After They Have
Been Favored

III Neeley had any backbone
he would have stood by his or
iginal appointment
The above is only one of the
statements made by the Meade
Tammany ring, the bipartisan
ring Neeley favored when he
went back on his original post
Office appointment here. He
favored this ring and when he
did so he deliberately went back
on statements he had made over
his own signature; he ignored
endorsements, recommendations
petitions, and letters from the
best and the most influential
people of Meade; he needed not
the endorsement of almost the
entire Democratic press of the
Seventh District, and by his
action he has lost the confidence
of the voters Of Meade county,
and their vote as we'll. Even
Tammany, the very ones who in
duced him to betray his friends,
now that they have what they
wanted, regardless of the dis
honorable course they pursued
to get it, are meteing out to him
/ the just deserts due any in
dividual who acts as Mr.. Neeley
acted in the Meade Post Office
appointment.
Mr.. Neeley's plea is that he
left the decision of who should
be postmaster at Meade to the
patrons of the Office. He didn't
do\anything of the kind. He
singled out two candidates, one
whom he bad already recon-
mended, and another whom he
or someone else picked latter
the affair was closed;] he sent
ballots to some of the patrons
of the Office, while others re-
ceived none; he told those who
received the ballots to vote for
their choice of the two candidates
and return the ballots to HIM
lin the enclosed, franked enve-
lope which does not require
stamp"
If the affair was to be left to
the patrons of the Office, what
right had Mr., Neeley to say who
the candidates should be2 Mr..
Price and DR.. Simpson we're
candidates in the original con-
test, if Mr.. Neeley was so eager
Ito be absolutely fair in the mat
ter" why didn't he give them a
second chance? When Mr..
Neeley sent out the ballots for
his referendum farce, if he want
ed to be so absolutely fair"
why wasn't he absolutely cer-
tain that he had an accurate,
mailing list and that every pat
rOR{received ballot, and when
he learned that they hadn't, and
after he had been informed of
Tammany's campaign methods,
if he wanted to be absolutely
fair" why didn't he investigate?
The fact of the matter is, had
Mr.. Neeley been absolutely
fair" he would have done what
he said he would do.
In trying to please Tammany
Mr.. Neeley failed to please any.

ON SUFFRAGE
Speech Made In U. S. Senate
July 81 1913

A'Ol1OWIhS - OSudtOI uOnp-
sons speech in the United States
Senate on Womans Suffrage,
July 81, 1918:
"Mr. President, l take pleas
ure in presenting petitions from
numerous intelligent and accom-
plished ladies of the State of
Kansas asking me to support
the suffrage amendment; and l
take this occasion to say a few
words in behalf of the amend
ment.
Kansas is the infant State in
the suffrage movement. While
we have had woman suffrage in
one form or another in education
al and municipal affairs perhaps
longer than most of the States,
we have had complete woman
suffrage, equal suffrage, only
since the last general election.
Last year the Kansas women
modestly, but earnestly, without
flourish of trumpets, asked the
men to grant them this right,
and we generously responded
by most decisive vote.
No nobler women, no more de-
voted wives, or more loving moth
ers, and no better housekeepers
can be found anywhere on earth,
and we have no fears of their
losing these excellent qualities
by extending that which of right
belongs to them. / congratulate
them upon their splendid VIC
tory and heartily welcome them
into their new field of labor. The
temperance question, always
alive in my State, and all other
moral questions are now per-
fectly safe and Aecure in the
hands of the voters for the first
time in the history of the State.
have always favored woman
suffrage because / believe that
under the constitution of the
United States and under the
fundamental laws, woman is
justly and legally entitled to it.
l look at 1t as much from legal
standpoint as from any other,
although from a moral stand
point it can be urged with even
greater force.
In this connection l desire to
read few sections from the
Constitution of the United States
bearing out this contention,
Section 2 of Article w pro-
vIdes:
The citizen of each State shall
DE entitled to all privileges and
immunities of citizens in the
several states.
The fourteenth amendment
provides:
All persons born or natural
lied in the United States, and
subject to the jurisdiction there
of, are citizens of the United
States and of the State wherein
they reside. No State shall
make or enforce any law which
shall abridge the privileges or
immunitles of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state
deprive any person of life, lib
erty, or property without due
process of law; nor deny to any
person within it's jurisdiction the
equal protection of the laws.
The fifteenth amendment pro-
vides:
The right of citizens of the
United States to vote shall not
be denied or abridged by the
United States or by any State on
account of race, color, or pre-
vious condition of servitude.
