JUDGE BY THE RECORD.

The only way to judge the fu-
ture is by the record of the past,
and the only way to estimate the
promises made in party platforms
is to note how well the parties
have hitherto lived up to their
promises.
Two years ago the Democrats
promised to pass a recall meas
ure. The legislature did and il
is now up to the voters. In the
House and Senate the negative
votes were all cast by Republi-
cans.
They promised to adopt the
Massachusetts, ballot law and they
did so.
They promised to provide for a
non-partiSan judiciary and they
passed such legislation.
They promised to pass the ini-
tiative and referendum-and Sc
did the Republicans. 1t was pass,
ed in the Senate 32 to s, the mega
tive votes all being cast by Repub-
licanS. In the House, the vote was
IA to 48, the negative votes all be-
ing cast by Republicans, except
one. Which party kept the faith
on that pledge?
They promised to repeal the in
heritance tax law and they did so.
And among the other pledges
made and kept were those to rati-
fly the amendment for the direct
election of U. S. senators, to place
the educational institutions under
one board, to provide for state
publication of school text books,
to enact laws for the protection of
those working in mines, and many
others.
Read the record and study it be-
fore you cast your vote this year.
1t will convince you that the
Democratic party is not merely
Of promise but of actual perform
ance, while our opponents make
a .pretense of reform in order to
catch votes and then nominate the
most determined opponents of
these reforms as their candidates.
The record is before you and il
is your own fault if you 90 far
astray after studying it.-Marys-
vile Democrat.

MARKET LETTER.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Sept
14.-All grades of cattle made a
steady climb last week, finishing
10 to % higher for the week.
There was a good, active market
every day. Receipts were $4,000
head, largest run this year. Prices
are steady to 10 lower, some few
eceptiOnS. There was a good ma.
tive trade today, SaleSment admit.
ting that buyers "juSt ate them
up" No prime cattle are here,
as that kind are getting scarce, the
best here selling at $9.15. Strictly
prime heavy cattle would bring
around S11 which price is not re-
garded as the limit between now
and Christmas by any means.
There is a shortage of Kansas
grass cattle today. Steers from
Landergin Bros, Eureka, brought
$3.50, 1869 lbs. Other Kansas cat
tie brought $7.25 to $3.50, includ-
steers at $40, around 115O lbs,
which was sharply higher than
best bid on some of these steers
at st. Joseph up to noon. There
is a good run of PanhandleS to-
day, beef steers up to $775,
cows S. to $3.50, vealS up to S1O.5O
Western Colorado heavy beef
steers brought $40, light beef
steers S7.1O, feeders S7.2O, ship
ment of Billie Moore, from the
Rifle country. Eastern Colorado
has several shipments in, includ-
ing five car drove of good feed
S.35, S7.65 and $7.S5. Quaran-
tine receipts are 11S cars, largely
middle and low class stuff. Brown
& Ellingwood sold ten cars at
$685., other middle class steers
S6.25 to S6.75.
Hogs sold 10 to Is lower to-
day, receipts 5000 head. There
was a big smash in September
pork Saturday, a break of S1.5O
a barrel, and packers say live
hogs must go still lower. There
is a wide spread in prices, and
buyers in the country should al
low themselves ample margin.
Top here today is $3.50, bulk of
sales $3.50 to $685.. Order buyers
bought all the hogs that sold
above 1855. Bulk of sales in
Chicago today ranges from $685.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

Topeka, KanS., Sept. IA. 1914.
Governor Hodges and Samuel
Gompers, President of the Amerl-
. can Federation of Labor, were
Toundly denounced last week by
the So-called State Society OF La
Dor, which met at Hutchinson;
and the denunciatiOn was played
up in the Topeka Capital under
big black headlines.
The State Society of Labor met
on the roStrum of the Auditorium
at Hutchinson and at no time were
there more than thirty-five dele
gates present, although there are
more than five hundred labor or
EanizationS in Kansas. Most of
these delegates we're Socialists of
the most pronounced and radical
type from southeast Kansas. Their
special grievance against Cover
nor Hodges was that he took the
appointing of Commissioner of
Labor and Industry away from
this So-called Society of Labor
which has always been dominated
by the red-card Socialist element
The special grievance of this
So-called Society of Labor against
Samuel GomperS was that, as
President of the American Fed
seration of Labor, he recently sent
out a letter warning Kansas labor
organizations, affiliated with the
american Federation of Labor moi
to send delegates to the Hutchin.
son meeting and declared that the
State Society of Labor was not
bona fide representative of the la,
Dor organization of the state.
The Topeka Capital appears tC
have forgotten that only a few
days before this Socialist meeting
at Hutchinson, it had printed the
GOmperS letter.
If anything were needed to dis
credit the So-called State Society
of Labor, which is kept up by
few agitatOrS, it is the word o.
Samuel GomperS.
The fact is that Governor Hod
geS did not want the appointment

DEMOCRATIC LAWS
AND FARMERS

The fact that the farmers of
this state are getting 95 cents for
wheat and the prospects good for
an early rise to a dollar a buShel,
is due largely to the present Dem
ocratic national administration.
AT the opening of the war in Eu-
rope, wheat was selling at 66 cents
with an upward tendency.
Then ocean commerce was par
alyzed, the railroads refused to
accept wheat for transportation,
the elevators were full, the mills
had all they wanted, and farmers
found no bidders for their wheat
In less than two weeks, how
ever, congress and the president
took the matter up. A bill was in
troduced modifying the shipping
laws so that foreign vessels could
register and become part of the
United States shipping.
The bill was rushed through
congress and another was intro
duced by which this country guar
anteed up to five million dollars
the safety of cargoS carried in
American ships. With the intro
duction of these bills, the price
of wheat began to rise and the
shipping of cargoeS of wheat to
Europe began again. The insur-
ance measure has become a law
and all wheat offered will be ia
ken for export, and the farmers
of the United States will get the
benefit of war prices for their

are bringing the top, and it is the
rough heavy hogs that sell the
lowest.
Sheep and lambs sold 10 to 20
higher today, and a late sale was
% higher. The Blodgett Utah
lambs, 5 double decks, sold late
at $500, 81 lbs. average. Bulk of
the lambs brought $S to $500 to-
day, total receipts of sheep and
lambs 10000 head. Prices are
nearly one dollar per cwt. high
er today than ten days ago. Fat
ewes are worth $5.15 to $3.50
breeding ewes $3.50 to $5.75, feed
ing lambs S6.75 to S7.25. Consid.

Spectful of Mr.. Brewster. In fact, !
the writer of this letter and Mr..
Brewster are good personal
friends, while differing political
ly. What the Press Bureau said
was that Mr.. Brewster is a royal
arch Stand-pat Republican, and
that he, more thGn any other man
in the last legislature, was reSpOn-
Sible for the defeat of the initia-
tive and referendum resolution,
all of which is plain statement of
the truth. Far be it from us to
say anything personally diSre-
Spectful of Mr.. Brewster; he is a
very nice gentleman socially, but
he is a Republican Stand-patter of
the extreme type. Whenever any,
thing progressive is mentioned,
"Sard" BrewSter'S hair fairly bris-
ties, as if to express his indigna-
ton. He belongs to the old school
of Hamiltonian Republicans
whose cardinal belief is that the
people cannot be trusted to gov
,ern themselves, and that there are
a few chosen spirits who ought to
do the job, and therefore he op-
: poses the initiative and referen-
: dunn, and the recall.
i That Mr.. Brewster sincerely be-
lieveS these things is no discredit
: to him personally, and that he op.
: enly talks them is a tribute to his
5 courage and sincerity, although
l we believe that he is mistaken. II
is entirely natural that Mr.. Brew.
Ster should believe these things
y since he got his political training

Leland, in his palmy days, wher

of the Labor Commissioner and
the bill which was drawn at his
direction provided for the cleo
ton of the State Labor Commis-
sioner by the people, but this pro-
vision was changed by the legis-
lature without consulting him.
There was another statewide
organization which met at Salina
last week, but which received abb
solutely no notice from Mr.. Cap
Der, because it was Mr.. Capper,
and not Governor Hodges, who
was denounced. This was the an
nual meeting of the retail mer-
chants of Kansas. They denounc-
ed Arthur Capper and the Capper
publications for directly and I'M
fairly competing with retail local
merchants through the policy of
giving merchandise as premiums
in circulation building campaigns,
and for carrying immense quanti-
ties of mail order advertising.
This same convention of retail
merchants of the state also conf
mended the present state Demo
cratic administration for the en-
actment of a 10 per cent garniSh-
ment law and voted to stand by
the law and oppose any effort to
secure its repeal. In the discus
sion of this matter, editorials wert
read from the Capper publications
condemnng the legislature and
the state administration for the
passage of this law for the pro,
lection of the retail merchants
and the sentiment against Mr.
Capper was so thick you could
cut it with a knife.

HAD BIG LOSS.

Wheeler Gustin, of the Galatia
neighborhood, suffered a big fl
nancial loss a week ago last FRI
day night when a number Of his
horses broke into a bin in the
barn, in which he had some wheat
stored, and gorged themselves so
with the grain that eight of them
were very sick for some time and
three of the very best died. They
were all good animals and would
mean a big loss at any time, but it
is particularly hard right at this
season of the year when the far
mers are all busy with their teams
getting in their wheat crop.
