Leader, is another Barton county mar
who believes that the fellow who will
not work in the harvest field for SO
per day Is not eGtitled to free ca ms.
MF. Smith Is secretary of the Elm
wood Commercial club and the club
was feeding a number tf men who
came in before harvest started. He
happened to be standing in his Office
door one day and heard a farmer Of
fer big husky chap SO per day to
work for him through harvest but the
fellow turned the offer down. Only
a few minutes later the fellow came
into Mr.. Smiths office and asked for
a free meal ticket and this the Lead
er man promptly and very wisely re.
fused to do. Editors are ordinarily
mighty kind+hearted cusSes and Il
Smith had been paying the bills out
OF his own pocket, be would probably
have given the fellow the meal, but
he didn't intend to SEE the town i'm
posed on by a noaccount fellow who
wanted to take all the farmers pro-
fits.

THE presidents special envoy to
Mexico, John Lind, came out Of Mex
leo to consult with the president. He
was on a government vessel, and made
for Port Christian, Mississippi, where
the president is spending the holt
days. The vessel could not get near
the shore, and President Wilson sent
word by the wireless for Mr.. Lind to
stay on board the vessel, and he went
out to visit him. No reporter could
get anywhere near the place of the IN
terview, and nc one knows what con-
versation was held. After they got
through talking the president re-
turned to shore, and the vessel took
MI. Lind back to Veracruz, so he will
be on hand, II anything happens.

THE committee provided for by the
new banking act, consisting of Secre-
tary McAdoo, OF the treasury, and
Secretary of Agriculture Hueston, are
going over the country trying to de-
eide where the regional banks shall
be located. OF course they started at
New York, where they got the views
OF the bankers and financiers Of that
village, and think they have got the
job Of their lives In locating these
banks. New York wanted to cap
itallze It's regional bank for such an
amount that it would take up all the
capitol allotted for all the banks, and
the bankers showed good reasons why
this should be done, but the law re-
quires the formation Of at least seven
other banks. SO the probabilities are
that 1t Will not be done. The COM
mittee has a lot OF clerks and are
travelling in a special Office car, and
the car will be the committees office
and place for hearing during the trip
which will take 1t across the country
and back again. 1t will be seen that

mittee Will have a tine excursion, pro-
viding II does not get showed up.

Ralph Lopez, a Colorado Mexican,
has been playing horse with the Col
orado officers. He killed a friend in
a dispute regarding a woman. When
an officer attempted to arrest him he
killed the officer and took to the
hills, where he killed other officers
who attempted to interfere with his
liberty. Finally be took refuge in a
big mine where he killed a couple Of
oficers who attempted to arrest him
This made six killings he had COM
mitted and there were nine sheriffs
who wanted him. These nine sheriffs
had ll3 deputies helping them. The
sheriis ordered the miners out of the
mine, sealed every opening, and pro-
ceeded to iii the mine with smoke
and poisonous gases. After a day or
so they started to open the mine, but
concluded Lopez might yet be alive,
and would kill some more. So the

THE International Association Of
Structural Iron Workers are gradual
ly learning that it was a false idea
they had that there was a provision
In all criminal laws exempting the as
ISOLATION from being responsible to
them. 1t was but a few months ago
when thirty of them, including Frank
NJ. Ryan, the president Of the assocla-
ton, were convicted at indianapolis
for being in the consplricies which
resulted in the blowing up of many
partly completed structures that we're
being put up by men not connected
with the association, and of the de-
struction OF the Los Angeles Times
building. They, Of course, appealed
the case to the United States appel
late court, and the decision of the
court was handed down Tuesday. In
the cases OF six Of the men they we're
overruled, and Temanded to the dis
trict court for a new trial. In the
other "a cases the decision Of the
lower court was affirmed, and the men
ordered TO serve the sentences recelv-
ed In the district court. Among these
p men whose conviction was affirmed
was Frank NJ. Ryan, the president Of
the association. The men will appeal
from the appellate court to the su-
preme court Of the United States, I'm
the hopes they may die before the
case is finally decided, and thus they
may beat the law after all.

When Old Car Haynes heard that
one of his cars was down in Southern
New Mexico, and would not run, he
swore 1t was not the fault of the car,
but Of the improper way 1t had been
handled. When he learned there was
not a Haynes expert in this section he
detailed an expert from the factory,
and sent him down to see what. The
expert arrived the first of the week,
and asked w. H. Small what was the
trouble with his car, and Mr.. Small
told him that was what he wanted to
find out. The expert said that when
a car was sent into a new section of
the country, where there we're no
Haynes cars, often a man was sent
from the factory with 1t, to set it up,
see that it was all in good running
order, and give the purchaser a few
tips as to where he should look for
trouble. He went into the car and
found a wheel was loose on a shaft
and the car would not do business as
long as 1t was In that condition. He
borrowed a piece Of baling wire from
p. NJ. Chase, who vas watching the
operation, and 500 had the thing
wired up so IL would hold under any
circumstance, With this done the
electrical gear shifts worked without
any trouble, and all the machinery Of
the car ran like a top. He took Mr..
Small and j. II. McCabe out, drove
them around and gave them many
pointers about the car, and Mr.. Small
found the a worked so nicely that
he turned down an offer of an even
trade of his car for a Ford. He hopes
to have no more trouble. However,
he will follow Mr.. Chase's example
Mr.. Chase never goes out in anything
that runs on wheels without carrying
a few feet of baling wire with him,
and he never has TO walk in.

There we're a few who seemed to be

as enthusiastically as If they owned

ernor Mcdonald appreciates a good
thing when he sees it, and thinks that
a mar who has showed himself to be
a good citizen, wen II he happens to
be an inmate Of a penitentiary, is en-
titled to consideration, and he has
