MAS CUR eoop AND HARp.r

In the Saturday Evening Post, VIII
lam Allen White recently outlined in
characteristically virile fashion the
situation In Kansas.
The wet and dry issue now rarely
comes into a political contest In Kan
sas. Formerly. In the days Of the
SOS, the suspicion that man con-
sorted with the temperance advocates
handicapped a candidate. Now even
the faint suspicion that a man has a
friend who drinks or a brother-in-law
who is married to the third cousin of q
man who kept drug store In the SOS
is load that few men In politics can
carry successfully. Any man who
wants to win makes votes by abusing
the liquor traffic. II Is as safe a po-
litical diversion as lighting into the
Turks. and infinitely safer In Kansas
than going after Wal; street. for the
great red dragon has some friends. but
no one defends the rum fiend. He il
paralyzed beyond recovery"
Kansas has quit good and hard" is

Beer MOST ANlMALlzlNa.

The following utterance concerning
the effects of beer upon the physical
and moral nature has been made by
the New York officers Of the Home
Life Insurance company:
"Of all intoxicating drinks, Il is the,
most snimalizing. II dulls the in
tellectual and moral, and feeds the
Bensual and beastly nature. Beyond
all other drinks. Il qualities for delib-
crate, and unprovoked crime. In this
respect It is much worse than dis,
titled liquors. A whisky drinker will
commit murder only under the d.
rect excitement OF liquor, beer
drinker is capable OF doing It In cold
blood. Long observation has assured
US that a large proportion Of MUIR
ders deliberately planned and exc
cuted without passion or malice. with
no other motive than the acquisition
of property or money. often of trifing
value, are perpetrated by beer drink
ers."

And further: THE Ad Clubs have
very sensibly set themselves against

for business efficiency. And the idea
is pretty thoroughly circulated among

absolute fallacy to suppose that

GREAT FALLAcY.

There never was greater fallacy
than that a community. state or nation
must depend on the liquor traffic for
money to pay its running expenses
The greatest financial stroke the peo-
pie can make is to close every saloon
and thus relieve the taxpayers from
much OF the burden they are now car
rying.

Forced to Praise Wilson.

We do not have to confne ourselves
to the Democratic newspapers to read
complimentary mention of President
Wilson's splendid administration.
The organs of the Republican party in
Iowa are forced to favorable comment.
AS for instance:
Des Moines Capitol: The Wilson adj
ministration must however, be con-
graduated on the progress SO far made
in regard to Mexico. This country
would be in an unfortunate condition
to-day provided we were carrying on q
war with Mexico. The credit for the
present situation must be given to
Woodrow Wilson, and Republicans
ought to be manly enough to admit it.
Register and Leader: President Will.
son has shown q master hand again by
letting Mexico and the whole world
know that the United States does not
propose, in q world crisis, to have any
trouble at home with petty neighbors.
In this his ultimatum to Mexico was
much more effective than any yet de.
livered in Europe.
Logan Observer, stand pat Repub.
lican: We are very glad that we have
not criticised the administration of Mr..
Wilson-not that it would make any
difference to him, but it seems that he
has made good" at uphill work. If
the men who are out Of work feel like
laying their misfortune to the president
it is their affair. We try to be fair
and when man is doing well encour-
age him in it.

Regular Republicans Opposed to
Cummins.

Attorney Geo. E. Hubbel, dean Of
the Da;enportlbar, has been voting the
republican ticket for so long that 1t
has become almost second nature. But
there are some men on the republican
ticket this year whom he will not vote
for.
When a reporter called at his Office
this morning, he found Mr.. Hubbel
happy over the denomination Of .Uncle
Joe" Cannon for congress.
II believe 'Unce joe will be elect
ed. /" said Mr.. Hubbel. II believe the
republican party is coming into its own
again.
But the republican party has du
ty to perform this fall, and it is this:
To record its Indignation against those
who have nearly wrecked the party.
You can say just this in your paper for
me: i wouldn't vote for Senator
Cummins for dog-killer.' He is one Of
the men who overthrow the republican
party by his policy and by his selfish
course.
This is and should be party gov
eminent. With two great parties Of
well.defned national politics, the inter-
ests Of the people will be served. We
have no place for the mugwump or the
traitor. Regular Republicans will
scratch their senatorial ticket this fall,
BY way Of showing their 10y atty to
their party and their opinion of party
wreckers. Davenport Democrat.

matter for my attention this morning.
However before / reached it the paper
was left in the msil box on the porch
this morning.
With residence Of about two years
in this city, find with all the new ac-
quaintances and changed environment,
we still have longing for news from
where we SO long lived. One might
think with so long residence in so
small q town as Ridgeway. that .
change to this city would blot out
much Of our previous life and activity,
but it does not.
We are very much taken with this
city and are not alone in this, as over
100. 900 people have done as we have
since we came, and the city is growing
very rapidly.
However the city has no string on
any one and some get discouraged and
leave, but that number is few.

state that for best of views two

Missed Their Guess.

Two years ago corn was worth about
forty cents. fhAt was during the Presi.
Dental campaign and Mr.. Taft was
President and candidate for reelection.
Also Teddy was q candidate. Then
there was man by the name Of Wilson,
this Democratic candidate by virtue Of
Bryan, who made his nomination pos
sible at Baltimore. 1t was during this
campaign when corn was worth forty
cents we had some ''stump orators
going about the country asking the
voters If they wanted l2-cent corn and
2-cent hogs, and if they did Wilson was
the man to vote for. In . short time
these same prophets win be going
around and telling some ''cock and bull
story to again catch the votes of some
whom they think ignorant enough to
believe anything they tell them. They
will probably have = nice story fixed
up about the increase Of 43 per cent.
on farms for taxable purposes; will
probably say just pay it and quit think.
ing about Ought to be glad it was no
worse. They will say while corn is
worth 80 cents . bushel they only missed
their prophecy GO cents and while hogs
are worth s.. so they only missed it S. so.
Pretty close. But when they tell you
about your taxes and that Governor
Clarke and the other boys up at Del
Moines did good thing. don't pay any
attention to them, but ut the election
get even with such extravaganza By
voting for John T. Hamilton for Gov
ernor. Adams County Free Press.
It should be remembered that to vote
for Mr.. Hamilton alone will not brins
about the desired result. The entire
Democratic state and legislative ticket
must be included.
