w. H. MAYBACH.

w. H. Maybach is the Progress
Sive nominee for Representative
O, Barton county and is a man
who will reflect honor upon the |
county if elected. He is a plain |
farmer, no frill, no fashions nor
styles; a German-American who is
a successful farmer and who his
friends in every part of the coun-
ty. Barton county is a farming
community and its representative
ought to be a man who will rep
resent the farmers, who is one of
them and knows their needs. He
IS we'll informed on the topics of
the day, is a man who will, if elect
ed, make a name for himself as a
legislator. This county has a
large German population and Mr..
Maybach will be of great value to
those of that nationality who feel
that they would rather take up
legislative matters with a man
who is one of them and under
stands them. He has been strong.
Iy identified with the Farmers
Institute idea and has done much
towards bringing the practical
side of the state agricultural work
to the front and TO eliminate those
things that are not of value TO the
farmer. He would be a power in
the legislature through his ability
along these lines. Fewer and bet
ter laws are what are needed. The
farmer has been too much at the
mercy of business and profession
al men and strong farmers in the
legislature will most truly repre-
sent the people, particularly in
Barton county. Mr.. Maybach
knows what impositionS are piled
on the farmers and small town cit
izenS by many of the laws and he
will do much, if elected, to cor
rect this abuse of power. What
we need is to secure men identi-
fled with the farming interests to
help make legislation A man who
serves in this position must be
independent of salary and anx-
iouS to serve his constituents. He
should be a man of the people and
man of ability, all of which quail
ificatiOnS are possessed by Mr..
Maybach. He was forced into this
race by his neighborS and friends
and at first did not want to make
the race. Since he has consented
to serve if elected he is trying to
make a campaign and he has the
Barton county people who are an
xiOuS to see a man of his ability
in the office of representative

New York-Bruno Leasing, who was
in Austria when war was declared,
and who arrived here on the Nieuw
Amsterdam, gives the following &C
count of his experiences:
The observations OF passengers
aboard the Nieuw Amsterdam form as
clear a description of the outbreak Of
the great war as will probably ever
be told.
BY piecing together the pictures
obtained from persons who were in
Carlsbad and Marienbad, in Austria,
with the scenes In Wiesbaden, Ham
burg, Nauheim and Baden, in Ger
many, the Tyrol and the Rhenish
provinces, you obtain panorama that
gives some idea of the shock, the be-
wilderment and the panic that fell
upon Europe within 4S hours.
In Marienbad the band was play
ing The promenade and streets were
thronged with foreigners and villagers
were in holiday mood-beautiful wom-
en- from the four quarters of the globe.
The theater, the concert halls, and the
moving picture shows were crowded
The next morning the town arose
stunned. The order to mobilize had
gone forth in the night. The walters,
the cooks, the porters, the hack driv-
ers and in some cases even the pro-
prietor and the whole office force had
left to assemble with the army corps
on the German frontier.
Many guests hastily packed their
trunks and left town. Around every
bulletin board we're groups of women,
red-eyed with weeping, wringing their
hands.
One woman whose husband kept a
grocery had husband and four sons
called to the colors. In that one little
town you could have multiplied this
incident hundredfold
Every newspaper was compelled to
submit copy of its issue to the mil
1tary commandant three hours before
its distribution. When the censor was
through with it most of the news had
been taken out
Rush for Their Money.
People fastened to the banks to
draw out their money. They were as
sured that their money was safe, but
were turned away empty handed. One
by one the stores were closed Wis
ftors who made purchases counter
manded their orders.
Wherever inquired, in Austria and
in Germany, the answer was the same.
Russia wants war" said the Ger
mans; Germany wants war;" said the
Austrians, "and we are drawn into it.
The officers of the army are crazy to
fight. The young folks cheer for the
flag. But we must pay the price My
business is ruined. l am a patriot.
God help my family"
The railway service to Russia had
been suspended. At midnight trains
were run to the frontiers of Russia
and Germany for foreigners who
wished to leave-after that the rail-
roads would be turned over to the
military. The scramble developed
quickly into a panic.
Every vehicle was quickly piled
high with baggage. Women with
push carts trundled trunks to the sta
ton. Many visitors carried trunks on
their shoulders. The railroad station
was damned. When finally the gates
were opened a rush for seats and
standing room took place. No conduc-
tor came to inspect tickets; the serv-
ice was completely demoralized. Five

The train slowly proceeded toward
the frontier. The district, one of the
richest and busiest in Russia, was ST.

wide field an old woman was seen
struggling to harvest the crops. Fac.
tories were deserted The workmen

Baggage Left Behind.
1t was not until nightfall, when the
train reached Nuremberg, that the
passengers learned that two baggage
cars had been left behind. At every
station from the Austrian frontier to
Holland, | saw piles of trunks, mostly
belonging to Americans and English
men. The stories told by passengers
from Berlin, Hamburg and Paris Of
countless thousands of pieces of bag.
gage piled at railroad stations stag
ger ones credulity.
Just as we crossed the border came
the news that Germany had already
begun to mobilize. Plans were hasti-
ly made and as hastily discarded. Ev-
cry one wanted to know what trains
were running. what frontiers were
open and what steamers were sailing
There was no one to answer
The train logged through the same
sad scenes of desolation we beheld in
Austria-beautiful fields, crops ripe
for harvest without a soul to reap
them. Factories were quiet. We
were sidetracked every little while to
permit trains laden with soldiers to
pass. AT nightfall, without having
eaten all day, our trainload arrived
at Nuremburg, where the station was
crowded with Americans, Englishmen,
Belgians and Hollanders waiting for
hours for train.
The Nuremberg hotels we're filled
with foreigners. Some were going to
Switzerland. Rumors came, however,
that Switzerland had formed an alli-
ance with France and that the Ger
mans had stopped all trains.
Rides in Baggage Car.
No one knew what truth there was
In the rumors; no one knew any way
of ascertaining the truth; all was con-
fusion. Then came official announce
ment that all railroad communication
with the French frontier had been
suspended and that after "a hours no
further trains would be run in the Ger
man empire.
The following morning nearly every
foreigner In Nuremburg left for the
West In two streams-one toward Bel
GUM, the other toward Holland l
chose Holland, and the memory OF
the ride will long abide with me like
a nightmare.
At Bonn three army officers fought
through the crush and compelled the
occupants Of a first-class compartment
to give up their seats. We we're now
in the heart Of German mobilization.
Every station was thronged with sol.
diers. We passed camp after camp
and train after train laden with gun
carriages, tents and provisions passed
us.
At every station the soldiers COM
PEELED the passengers to close doors
and windows. They were guarding
against bomb being thrown from the
train. One man who did not close a
window fast enough was prodded with
a bayonet.
AT the Dutch frontier the train
stopped and every passenger under
went rigid examination. No Ger
man was allowed to pass any farther.

the conference the committee on ar
rangements says: THE subject Of tax
alton is important TO every citizen Of
the state. Progress toward the ideals
OF social justice and industrial eff
cheney is impeded by an imperfect sys-
TEN OF taxation. No apologies seem
necessary for the calling of a confer
ence to consider liz dispassiOnate
way the present situation in Indiana
with a view 10 ascertaining just what
are the imperfections in our system,
and how they may be remedied."
Gov. Ralston will preside at the
opening session ard among those who
will read papers or take part in the
discussion are Dan NJ. Link. state tax
commissioner; Fred A. Sims, former
state tax commissioner; Jacob p.

One OF the most important subjects
TO be discussed will be the creation of a

WASHINGTON. Jan. 26.-The man
ager of the hotel in Washington
where Vice Pres. Marshall lives con-
ceived the idea of having a room all
fitted up with antique style of furni-
ture and draperies. He had furni-
ure dealer search about for all the
most old-fashioned things TO be
found, and the result was a room
thoroughly antique, unmarried by a
single modern note.
One day the manager proudly eX-
hioi,ed the room 10 Marshall.

asked Marshall

man, Mr. Moses being the proprietor
of a big furniture store.

it from Noah" promptly remarked

sUFFRAGIsTs IN WRONG.

The suffrage leaders now laying
seige to congress are playing too much
politics To make much progress. They
are lighting for place more than for
policy OF principle. At the congress
of religion in Chicago during the
Worlds Fair an East Indian advised
the christian denominations to get to-
bother before trying to preach chris
tianity to the heather. The advice
applies with equal. if not greater force
TO the suffragists.
They are scattering too much to
make their fire effective How can
they expect congress to take sides with
each Of the two factions now camped
in Washington and fighting each
other tooth and toe naiI'? house
divided against itself shall surely fall.
Advocates of a cause who cannot agree
on details and work tremendously to-
gether are foredoomed to failure.
Personal leadership and ambition is
now the greatest obstacle in the way
Of equal rights. The women of the
National American Woman Suffrage
association and Of the COngressiO nal
union are exhausting their energies in
a struggle for supremacy and losing
sight of what should be their main
purpose. Just now the triumph of a
faction IS Of more Importance than a
suffrage amendment 10 the constitu-
ton. These factions are in a worse
plight than the republican and pro-
gressive parties because they are
throwing away what the two political
parties named do not possess, a
chance
The democratic administration is
not pledged TO woman suffrage. Ithas

suffrage amendment 10 the cOnstitu-
zion. Il is pledged, however 10 any

sideration due Il.

Though our savings institutions
show large deposits by small deposit
ors many persons working for wages
or small salaries are scarcely able to
find margin between their income

comes around it too often happens
there is not enough left 20 get along

A system Of special savings for va

an economic writer. who regards a
vacation as a necessity rather than as
luxury. If a small sum is put by

problem of getting away for a week
or two will be more easily solved.
