They certainly were not begging,
Was there a reason?
In view Of the problem Of the
unemployed which is upon us
there may be at least a passing
interest in setting down some of
the results OF an investigation
which these reflections led me to
make,

These stations are not main
tanned by private philanthropy.
They are supported from public
funds, partly by the communes,
but to a greater extent from the
Cantonal purse. The loafer is
weeded out by sensible regula-
tons, such as refusal of relief If
the man has done no work during
three months, or If he refuses
work offered to him there and

Don'tLook Back.

New Truths, New Thoughts, New

and bid them welcome. we must
walk forth into the sunlight, be-
lieving absolutely in the future,
and refusing to look backward.
No past was ever so great and

r. ETROSPECTION and intro
RI spection seem to come
L. - with the holiday season.
We love to look backward, to re-
call old times, old scenes and old
faces. The tendency OF the hui
man heart, at this time of year, is
TO spread the table Of memory
with regrets, and to feast upon
melancholy thoughts.
The holidays are holy days to
many people, who devote them to
the memories of missing ones.

Mr.. and Mrs. N. H. Rowan of
independence, Kans., are here to
make their home. Mr.. Rowan
has accepted a position in the
Schaefer barber shop. He is al
experienced workman.
Fred Robertson, U. S. District,
Attorney for Kansas, pays a high
compliment to F. NJ. Brady, his
assistant. Mr.. Robertson says
Frank is one of the best attor-
neys in the country, and that it
is due largely to his efforts that
the Office is paying its own way
in the conduct of government
business in Kansas. Out of SO
civil cases coming out of the dis
trict attorneys oa4ce in Kansas
in behalf of the goVeFuweHt, only
ten have been lost. Moneys col
lected in judgments for the gov
eminent have paid all expenses
of the Office and there is Jet a lot
of judgments unsatisfed. Mr..
Brady, it will be remembered, Is
a resident OF Oswego. He was a
for congressman from
the Third district two years ago.

Quapaw Agency to Re-
ceiye Federal Aid.

AS a result of the efforts OF
the efforts of State Superintend-
ent R. H. Wilson, in their behalf
the schools of the Oklahoma
Ouapaw agency will participate
this next year for the first time
in the benefits of the federal APP
preparation made by congress for
aid of the schools, provided that
the senate amendment to this eff
feet is not stricken out in confer
ence. Supt. Wilson took this
matter up with the Oklahoma
delegation in congress some time
ago. The bill had passed the
house but the senate amended it
according to Mr.. Wilson's sug-
gestions. Mr.. Wilson has just
received the following telegram
from Indian Commissioner Cato
Sells:
Indian appropriation bill as
amended by the senate specifies
Quapaw agency in benefits from
appropriation for common schools
and it is now being considered in
conference"
If the conference committee ac-
cepts the senate amendment it
will mean much to the people Of
Ottawa county, for in many dis
tricts it has been impossible to
have a reasonable term of school
with the maximum levy that
could be made.

Little for
Atty-GeneraI.

C. B. Little of Olathe is cam
didate for the Democratic nomin-
alton for Encouragement of
Kansas. Two years ago Mr..
Little was nominated for this
Office and spent three months
campaigning, paid his own ex-
penses, besides contributing to
the campaign as a candidate, and
now believes that the Democracy
of Kansas should give him one
more chance to win. Little was
born in Johnson County, Kansas,
thirty-seven years ago, has prac-
ticed law fourteen years with his
father, John T. Little, a pioneer
Kansas Democrat. He attended
the State Agricultural College at
Manhattan and later was gradu-
ated from the law department of
the University ofKansas at Law
renee. Mr.. Little has served
four years as county attorney of
Johnson County, being reelected
without opposition in a. Republic
can county. He was one of the
best county attorneys who ever
held Office, was faithful and
obliging, and has the respect and
confidence of the voters. Little
is an able lawyer, and if nomin-
ated and elected will make a
good attorney-general. -Olathe

Notes.

Women vote for all state Of
ficers at primary the same as the
men.
The registration law applies to
the primary, unless properly reg
istered you cannot vote at the
primary.
The object of the primary is to
nominate party candidates to be
voted upon at the November
election.
If you.are a democrat you will
ask the judges for a democratic
ticket, if a republican you will
ask for a republican ticket. You
are entitled to only one ticket,
except that you will also get a
judicial ticket whereon you will
find all candidates for judges of
the Supreme and District court.
Read what you find on your
ticket, such as vote for one,
etc. Follow these directions and
you will make no mistake-your
vote will count. Make a cross
mark like this TX" in the square
you will find to the right of
whom you wish to vote for
Make no other marks of any
kind on your ticket.
