Suddath Judicial Timber

1t comes to us that Hon. James w.
Suddath, of johnson County, is seri-
ously considering making the race for
the Democratic nomination for Judge
of the Kansas City Court of Appeals.
In our judgment there is not a better
qualified man for the place in the dis
trict. He is lawyer of pre-eminent
ability with judicial temperament; a
life long Democrat, who has always
been effectively active for his party S
success. He has large acquaintance
in this county anc throughout, this
congressional district, who will take
an active interest in his candidacy.
We believe he would grace the bench
and reflect honor upon the party re-
sponsible for his election.

work not been we'll done in the grades

been possible.

the Commercial Department also.
The standard set by the State Super
intendent is a speed of Is words a
minute in shorthand and twenty-five
words minute on the typewriter at
the end of the Junior year. Our
Juniors have already come up to this
standard. Some of our Juniors can
copy new matter on the typewriter at
the rate of fifty words minute. At
the end of the Senior year the State
Superintendent requires a speed of
100 words a minute for five minutes
in shorthand and requires the notes
to be Transcribed at the rate of thirty
five minute. Our Seniors can take
dictation at the rate of 12O words a

In all other departments of the High

which can call your attention.
In the grades the children are
working as enthusiastically and the
work is as well done as in the High

heard in our schools. l think the
work in other subjects is as we'll done

Last fall we introduced music in
the grades. By exchanging classes

children love this work. There has
been marked improvement in the

Butler Institution Makes Good Show
ing.
In commenting upon the statement
recently issued by the Peoples Bank
one of the officers of that institution
said:
"Those who are connected with
the bank have from its very begin
ming endeavored to make it what its
slogan implies; "A Bank on Which
You Can Always Bank In their
efforts to do this they have taken
into consideration all classes of peo-
ple-the rich and the poor; the boy
and the girl; the farmer and the mer-
chant, according each fair and cour-
teous treatment.
"They have made it possible for
the farmer to have daily live stock
market report without one cent of
cost to him. This is something that
the farmer could not get before the
bank was organized without consid-
cradle expense. The report has cost
the bank over $500 up to this time.
The bank has provided the farmer
with sign board also, on which he
can advertise anything he may have
to sell or make known what he will
buy. 1t has held number of corn
contests for the benefit of the farmer,
and one year gave seed corn to
him without cost. 1t held "a water
melon contest a few years ago to en-
courage the boy and girl living on
the farm. The bank has provided a
place where letters can be written,
furnishing stationery without cost,
and offering the use Of a telephone.
1t opened savings department some
years ago making it possible for boys
and girls and adults if they desire, to
deposit their savings in small amounts
and realize interest on them. In the
savings department small safes are
furnished, safes which can be taken
home, for which no charge is made.
The bank has encouraged the use Of
its steel vault for the care of valuable
papers, such as tax receipts, con-
tracts, abstracts, wills, ETC., making
no charge for keeping them. The
bank has felt the need of a real es-
tate loan and abstract company since
its organization. However, with the
assistance of the stockholders of the
bank one was organized recently,
known as the Denton-Coleman Loan
and Title Company. This Company
will loan money at a low rate of in
terest on Bates County farms and
will carry or keep on hands safe
farm loans which can be had at all
times by those who want to invest
their surplus funds. In addition, the 9
company will make abstracts to all
Bates County land. This company
has bright future. Its president is s

But in the national issues, on the tar

policy, the former president takes is
sue with the man in the White House.
The Philippine Policy.
1.-The Philippine policy of today has
overthrOWn every civil service rule,
has placed natives in control and has
assumed a proportion that is rulnous,
declared Taft. LAS for the tariff, the
war. Even now, though, the revenues
are impaired and the present course
cannot endure.

Then Taft turned to a discussion of
national affairs. He had just come
from his dinner and he was joVial
and the Taft smile was just as much
in evidence as in the old days.
Doesn't Know About t. r..
"I don't pretend to know what Col
onel Roosevelt Will do next year
wouldn't venture a guess-doubt if
the colonel knows himself" Then
Taft INDUCED in hearty after dinner

wouldn't even affirm or deny the con-
stitution until they had gone out and
conferred to know whether it was
popular or not. They are looking for
issues-rot preaching convictions
Right here Taft laid down the basis
of compromise in 1916, as he sees it.
IF the ProgressiVes come back
and every Republican is ready to well
come them back-they must come as
Republicans, not as Progre ssiVeS,' de-
clared Taft with emphasis. ''They
can't expect the Republican party to
adopt their isms ard nostrums. We
don't believe in them and they are
not Republican doctrine or principle.
Neither must the ProgressiVes expect
to come back to assume the leader
ship of the party they left nor to die

Country Goes Too Far.
AS for the reforms of the Progress
sives, Taft believes the country has
already gone sufficiently far-too far,
in fact. Now he sees the pendulum
swinging back.
IF our system of representative
government is to endure, if its sue
cess is to be established" said Taft,
1--WE must break from some of the
policies given us in the name of re-
form. The recall of judicial decisions
and the recall of the judiciary is not

tenn. 1t is a cruel rule of a minority

One hundred and eighty-two hotels,
restaurants ard rooming houses in

good condition, 4.95 per cent good
to fair 1878 per cent fair and SPA
per cent poor"
Mr.. Congdon pointed out that the
number reported poor" was larger
than for several months but asserted
that this was due to the campaign
recently in&ugurated against tblird''
rooms in lodging houses.

g. Hutchinson of this city has brought
suit in the United States district court
at Trenton, against William H. Sperry,
of Crawford, N. J., charging that he
"fraudulently withdrew from Sperry

wrong entries to be made in the books
of the company, in order to conceal
defaIcations.
Hutchinson asks for an accounting
and an injunction against the Sperrys
voting 4.79O shares of stock in the
company. The question of having an
investigation into the alleged fact that
the Sperrys are getting big salaries
is also brought up in the suit.
George B. Caldwell, president of the
Sperry & Hutchinson company, states
that the suit has absolutely no bear
ing or effect whatsoever on the bust
ness of the Sperry & Hutchinson com
pany as now conducted
Mr. Caldwell said that Mr.. HUtchin-

Holmes has been sentenced to a term
in the peaitentiary at Lansing for
stealing his own horses.

$500 from the sale of the stock, a
part of which was recovered after
