OBITUARY..

Jeptha Smith Warden was born at
Deer Ridge, Mo-, Aug. 9Th, 184S and
died at Payette, Idaho, Dec. II, 1915.
He was a soldier of the Union
army in the Civil War having joined
the 55th Missouri in 1865, under re-
cruiting officer captain Jentry. Sept.
Is, 1891 he was married to Sarah Jane
Dare. Three children of this union
have gone on before to that other
land, and three children with the
wife remain to mourn the loss of a
beloved husband and father. In ad-
dition to these there are still living,
of the immediate family, two sisters
and three brothers.
During the last few years Mr.. War
den has been in very poor health
and has travelled about a great deal
in search of climate that would be
helpful to him. About three years ago
he came to Payette where he lived
to the time of his death. 1t was in
Payette that he became Christian
and was received as member into
the fellowship of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church. The funeral service
was held from the church on Sunday
afternoon, Dec 10, 1915, the pastor,
G. w. Barnes, officiating.

PREPAREDNESS.

When the great world war is ended
and the millions of men now in the
trenches go back to productive indus
try the world will face one of the
greatest crises IN all history. In the
aftermath of this insensate frenzy
the nations must confront the prob
lens of rebuilding from the awful
waste of war and REIMBURSEMENT to
new conditions.
More than the war itself this crisis
and this readjustment will be felt in
America. In order to escape the OPP
pressive taxation which must follow
to repair the wars destruction there
will be thousands who will seek new
homes in the Americas and, in order
t protect ourselves against this in
coming horde, some changes in our
immigration laws are necessary.
The trade relations and market
conditions of the world will be chang.
ed after men have ceased this awful
butchery and our tariff laws will
have to be made effective. This is
sadly needed now, but it will be
doubly so then. Always the football
of political parties and subject to
changes with every change of ad-
ministration, our tariff laws are but
the sorriest kind Of joke. But with
the countries of Europe returning to
sanity and endeavoring to rehabilitats
themselves they will work overtime
to produce articles of value and find
market for them and America Will
be the dumping ground.-Rural Spirit

eoRAH THE MOST AVAILABLE.
"One of the ablest and shrewdest
of New York Republican leaders said
to me that New York would go
stronger for an outsider than for a
home man.
81 had said / was for Senator
Borah, although feared that a west
en candidate would have prejudices
TO overcome.
This leader said: Senator Borah
would carry New York by bigger
majority than any New Yorker could
Others told me the same story with
out dissent.
TT seems to me that never before
has there been better chance to
nominate a candidate from west OF
the Mississippi river.
81 came back with the firm belief
that Senator Borah is not only able
and fit for the place, which all con-
cede, but in many respects is the
most available.
HE stands high in the east as
man who measures up to the job, and
his location is an asset and not
liability when viewed from the calm
standpoint of vote7getting.
when the west has the best man
and the east has no local favorite
and comedies that western candl-
date would be stronger, l think
more than ever that Kansas ought
to give its support to the best man,
the former Kansan, William E..
Borah."

BRYAN READS THE MEANING.

The Republican Publicity associa-
ton, through its president. Hon.
Jonathan Bourne, jr., has given out
the following statement at it's Wash
ingtoh headquarters:
with w. J.. Bryan leading large
contingent of the Democratic party in
determined opposition to the adoption
of any Republican policies, it seems
certain that the next campaign will
be fought on issues upon which the
Republican party has won in the
past. With the Republican party re-
united, as it is today, there should
be no doubt as to the success of a
campaign in support of Republican
principles.
"In the latest issue of his Com
moner, Mr.. Bryan shows that he Is
in no doubt whatever as to the mean
ing of the elections held last month.
One or two leaders of the Progress
sive party may think there is a posi-
bility of holding the former members
of that party together, but Mr.. Bryan
labors under no such deluslon. He
says:
The elections of 1915 ought to
serve as a warning to the Democratic
party. They indicate that the Pro
gressiyes have returned to the regu-
lar Republican party, and that the
Democrats can no longer hope to-
win by division in the ranks Of the
Neither can the Democrat
afford to daily with vital issues
BRYAN GOOD JUDGE.
"Mr. Bryan has had too much per-
sonal experience and too many years
Of observation to be misled in his in
of the causes and condi-
tons which led to Republican vic
tories in 1915. He knows the neces-
sary effect of the unification of the
Republican party.
1.-THE total vote for Wilson in 1912
was 6,293, 900, the total vote for the
Republican and Progressive candi-
dates was 100000. Included in Mr..
Wilson's 6,29S,O00 there were thou
sands of votes of staunch Republicans
cast for the Democratic candidate for
reasons which are well known to Re-
publicans, and which Mr.. Bryan
knows will not exist in 1916.
Il
edges the facts that exist, he is IN
definite in his opinions regarding the
measures by which Democracy can
hope to avert the impending catas-
trophe. He says, for instance, AS
matter of party policy, it is seldom,
Il ever, wise to attempt to gain votes
by appropriating the policies OF the
opposition

On the Defensive
Now and then, one work

Now and then, one working
among business men, particularly if his
object is to sell anything, encounters a
man who at the instant of approach
throws up barrier. In some cases it
amounts to virtual defiance. He is
very obvious y on the defensive.
Craftsmanship has developed SO rapidly
into science and the successful salesman
has so quickly changed from jovial jokster
into cool calculating expert who measures
all things with respect to the effect to be at
tanned, that those buyers who have not yet
become adjusted to the new situation are
likely to dStruSt solicitor as one seeking
only to gouge as deeply as possible into the
cash register.
Insofar as the buyers attitude is intended to
make the solicitor prove the merit of his PROPOSE
ton, it may be justified on the ground of good
business But when he assumes that the motive of
the salesman is to get the largest possible order
without regard to the likelihood of the merchants
disposng of the goods he usually is mistaken
wise salesman never attempts to overSell
customer.
Pa tcuarly is this true with the man who sells
advertising His is a work in which cooperation
and service are essential to mutual advantage.
Results MAKE advertising success Results will
build up an account Properly valuing a small or
ordinary account which grows with its own success
above mere clash in the pan" the advertising
solicitor bases his solicitation the results he is
confident of obtaining.
When The News-Tmes Solicits advertising it
does so with as much regard for the service which
it is certain be rendered, for the conditions and
possibilities of the business solicited, as for the
amount of space which can be sold

STEAMER IS FASTEST IF
 THE FLEET

The steamer Kansas City, recently purchased by the Alaska Steamship Company, will be the largest vessel engaged in the Alaska trade in point of gross tonnage. and she will lead in indicated horsepower The North western and Victoria only lead her in length, and the Northwestern in net tonnage The Kansas City is 13 feet longer than the Mariposa and ex- ceeds her in tonnage by more than 500.
 The Kansas City was built at Chest CT, Pa, in 1889; is built of iron; reg isters 3,679 gross tons and 2,163 net tons. She is 327 feet in length, has a beam of 45 feet and a depth of 1S.S feet. Her engines are capable of de- veloping 4OOO horse power, and her required crew is 79.
 Rumors of the purchase of the Kan sas City by the Alaska s. s. Co were in circulation last spring but it was later stated that the owners and the Alaska s. S. Co. failed to agree on terms. Officials of the Alaska S. 8. Co. made no secret of the fact that they wanted the Kansas City.
 Later the Alaska S, S. Co. and the Pacific Coast S s. Co. entered nego- tiations for the purchase by the form CT of the latter's steamship Puebla, and again there was failure to agree to trms.
 The Kansas City was formerly en- gagged in the Oriental trade, and is said to have greater speed than any of the Alaska s. s. Co.'S present fleet.

BATCH OF NEWSY ITEMS
 FROM NEW RAILROAD TOWN

ANCHORAGE, Oct 20-A shipment of fifteen tons of vegetables from the Matuska valley, which consisted of potatoes, cabbage, rutabagas, etc, brought here for sale this week, found a ready market.
 A half hundred men are employed in the handsome structures being erected by H. T. Fowler and associ- ates. That section of town, as a re- suit, is veritable beehive of industry
 Improvements are being made this week on the roads through the term inal grounds, located on the site of the old tent city. The teaming between the new town and the government works and Government Hill is quite extensive, and these improvements will be appreciated by a great many people.
 r. F. Harrington, the transfer man, has secured a tie contract and with his family will winter on his Matanus- ka homestead. MT. Harrington will take horses, cows and hogs, to stock his farm, and plans on making it his permanent abode.
 Comfortable quarters for over 50 horses are nearing completion in the terminal yards of the railroad at this place. In addition, two large hay barns have been erected, and one fair sized building for general uses in con- nection with this department.

YOUNGEST ALASKA TOWN
 ASKS FOR POST OFFICE

Somewhere north of the Arctic Cir cle in the Koyukuk country there is a town by the name of Matthews" which enjoys the distinction of being the youngest town in Alaska. The little city is about 1S3 miles from Bet ties, and it's citizens have recently elected a recorder and have set about aAivic organization to handle the af- fairs of the town. A petition for the
 establishment of post office has aI-
The Cordova daily times., 1915-10-28

ready been filed with the Postoffice Department at Washington.
 That the population of Matthews is composed of enterprising citizens is evidenced by the fact that a demo. cratic club has already been formed with a membership including nearly every man in camp, and the recent petition for a postoffice bore the sig natures of 13O prospectors. The new district is expected to produce about S13OOOO in gold this year.
