REMEMBER THIS MEETING.

Every one who attends the Farm
er's Convention at Oakley March As
will be well paid for his or her time
spent there. Topics of interest to
western Kansas farmers will be dis
cussed. President FL. ]. Waters two
addresses will be well worth going to
hear if there was nothing else Oh the
program. This will be the first time
that President Waters has addressed
western Kansas audience and you
may not have the opportunity of
hearing him again soon.
Prof. o. E. Reed, Edw. G. Johnson,
Miss Francis Brown and H. B. Wal
ker represent other leading attrac-
tions. Several local speakers will also
add interest to the program. AS
strong an attraction has never yet
been offered the people of western
Kansas and as many as possible
should plan to spend these two days
in Oakley.

And there are unusual hotels as
well as unique churches. The Dawes
Memorial Hotel in Chicago was built
by Mr.. Dawes in memory of his son,
a young man who was drowned about
two years ago. This hotel is open
only at night and entertains men
who are out of work and looking for
job. Hoboes are not harbored and
no man is allowed to become per-
manent boarder. Good. clean beds
are furnished at five cents per night
in the wardroom, or at ten cents for
bed in room alone. Every man
must take bath before going to bed.
He is provided with sleeping gar
ments but his day clothing is secure
in a locker-good for a nights lodg-
ing. Breakfast costs eight cents and
consists of soup, coffee, doughnut,
pie These prices include the toilet
accessories and the free use of the
''pan tanners and safety razor.

The public business of any COM
munity should be the private concern
of every individual resident in that
community, and even the transient
guest and sojourner need make no
apology for taking an interest in its
affairs for they, TOO, may be tempo
rarily effected. Not only should the
public interest of the community be
the private business of its indivIdu-
ais, but they should exercise the
same common sense In the selection
of public servants that they would
use In choosing private help, and pub
lie servants should be kept in service
or released upon the same general
business principles.
Furthermore, public servants
should be held accountable for the
faithful and intelligent performance
of their duties, just as the private
and personal servant is held account
able for the faithful and intelligent
performance of their duties, just as
the private and personal servant is
held accountable. And the public
servant should exercise even greater
carefulness about his work, because,
not being under the immediate di-
rection of personal master, his re-
sponsibility is greater, and because
the effect of his acts may be more
far-reaching.

OF the committee said no meeting could

The difficulties Senators arc en-
counterng in committees together
with the open disagreement rs to prin-
ciples evidenced on the floor, gave some
administration leaders concern over the
fate of the bills and strengthened a
belief that the pending measures
should be consolidated.
Senator Hollis to-day declared that
ihe Interstate Commerce Committee
favored the so-calied Newlands meas
ure, which would give the proposed

Senator Borah opposed the trade

the trust problem by seeking to regu-
late monopoiics. He declared as soon
