During one of his addresses In St.
Louis, Josephus Daniels, secretary
of the navy, jestingly declared that
Woodrow Wilson and Abraham
Lincoln were our greatest presidents
because they had both appointed
newspaper men as secretaries of the
navy. There is great deal of truth
in Mr.. Daniels assertion. Presl.
dent Wilson has proven 10 be one of
the worlds greatest figures. Most
of our presidents have had war rec
ords, and the masses worship men
who have taken part in battles.
This makes such men as Wilson
stand out more strikeingly, because
they have shown greatness without
any blare of milltarism. "Had
Roosevelt been president, the Mexi-
can situation would have been set
tied long ago" is an expression fire.
quently heard, Perhaps Roosevelt
would have adopted different tactics.
Some think that he would have in

enough to wallop Mexico, but that
might not be the end of the matter,
Other countries are also greatly in
terested in Mexico, and a war with
Mexico might involve US with some

1t begins to look as though the
day of the old-fashioned family doc
tor was of the past. Nowadays
! physicians are all specializing. and
many of them are growing wealthy
as wielders of sharp instruments.
They stand ready to operate for ev-
cry ailment, from plain corns to
collie in children. And they charge
enormous fees for their bloody work.
When the average new-fangled
physician is called in by sick per.
son he looks the patient over and
wisely declares, "You had better
get specialist, and l recommend
DR.. John Doe" Of course, the
doctor receives percentage from
DR.. Doe, yet. he would annul the
license at any doctor who legitimate
ly advertises. The old.time family
doctor used to tackle all ailments,
and he cured as often, if not often
er than the so-called specialists. He
may not have been as skillful as the
modern doctor with the sharp tools,
but he generally effected a cure and
charged reasonably leaving his client
something with which to buy meat
and bread instead of being in debt.
In the future some college will spring
up which will turn out real doctors,
men and women who will be capable
to treat the every day ailments apd
not acknowledge they are incompe-
tents.-The Woman's National

There is perhaps no town in the
state of Kansas better located for
drainage than Meade, therefore,
after having observed the way the
water stood in the main streets DUR
ing the rains of last week, and the
mud, resulting therefrom, one is
forced to arrive at the conclusion
that there is something radically
wrong with the present method of
grading out streets. In fact it APP
pears that rather than having been
graded to carry the water off, the
opposite result has been obtained.
At the present time it seems that all
the money applied on the streets is
the poll tax. This is evidently an
insufficient amount. Along North
Fowler and Carthage Avenues are
to be seen but faint traces of cutters,
and from theway the water stood in
them, they must be very nearly as

Nearly all of our merchants have
received additional goods in their

one who should have first option on
your trade. Look over his goods,
get his prices, then make an I'M

cause US to lose the opportunity of
getting one of these. in case Mr..

time as we desired, we asked him to
reply by night wire. We fully ex-
pected this message in time to get
