a harder time, after she has found out,

OTIS BENTON
As Others See Him.

As the writer just a few days ago
was casually conversing with a small
group of men, and the talk soon turned
to Mr.. Otis L. Benton, the growing
popular candidate on the Republican
ticket for Congress from the 9Th Dis
trict, a man in the bunch on the street
broke in, Eyes, can tell you thing
or two Benton done" We first thought
he was going to rake up something
derogatory to Mr.. Benton's character,
the way he started. But, he continued:
'fWhen a lot of US farmers were up
against it, with crops gone, a few OF
us also losing our horses from the dis
ease, Mr.. Benton paid for our seed
wheat, saying we could pay him when
we raised a crop" A remark was
made that he knew he would get it all
back again, but the speaker insisted
there was not man in northwest Kan
sas that could tell whether we would
ever have another crop, from past fail
ures, and the poor outlook at the time
the wheat was furnished. The incident
brought back fresh in the mind of the
writer a little personal occurrence,
when on the work of the Methodist
church over in Decatur county, few
miles from Oberlin, that he had oc-
casion to call at Mr.. Benton's fine
banking establishment. AS he met Mr.
! Benton there was accorded him such
kindly courtesy, the introduction to
others in the bank, invitation to see
thd elmer Office" rooms and equip
ment, that he was amazed, and yet
glad that one so prominent, worthy
and so highly favored, should extend
such welcome to a country ''rousta-
bout" preacher, with few friends, lit
tie notoriety and less money. Never
theless, Mr.. Benton encouraged and
gladdened our heart, by nicely contri-
buting to our enterprise, the building
of a new parsonage, at Cedar Bluffs,
the charge we then served, some ten
years ago. No fancial benefit could
Mr.. Benton have ever expected from
a preacher busily employed and less
than living salary. And far from a
thought, we are sure, at that time, 81
ever being candidate for public Office,
his business was paying him better
1t was purely the manhood of man
Mr.. Benton, perhaps, never thought
of this after, but the writer is lever {
lover of David" who never forgot e
kindness to him shown. A little act
like the above, is worth far more than
the casket covered with flowers wher
we have gone to sleep. There are
many people whose lives would be mucl
brighter if flowers were strewn il
life's pathway. Colby Tribune.

As We Know Him.

''Under the above caption we copy
the following from the pen of Lester
M. Parker, editor of The Oberlin
Times, and which appeared in his issue
of July q, 1915. Coming from Mr..
Parker, who is the efficient leader of
the live Gospel Team of Oberlin, which
has been doing such helpful and ben
efcial spiritual work for the churches in
the northwest corner of the Sixth Dist
riot for the past many months, we freely
give space in the Tribune this week
for the article. And since Mr.. Benton
has fully launched his boat in the po-
itical waters, the editorial production
is all the more timely for the Healing
of the waters"
''Since Otis L. Benton of this city
has become prominent in the race for
the Republican nomination for Congress
from this district, the question arises in
the minds of those not acquainted with
his life as to his stand on Woman's
Suffrage and Prohibition. The Times
editor has often said he would not sup
port any person for lawmaking po-
sition who hesitated in supporting eth
er. We reafirm that declaration. Be
cause of our close personal relationship
with Mr.. Benton for more than quar-
ter of century, and because we know
his heart and soul cries out against the
rum traffic, we lend our uncompromis-
ing support to his candidacy.
''Not only have we known Mr.. Ben
ton from boyhood, but we have par
taken of the daily scripture reading
and knelt at the family altar Of the
home In which he was reared. The life
of his splendid Christian parents has
been a benediction TO the writer. We
have often looked at Otis, their noble
son, and wondered how he could be any
thing than that which he is, a true
hearted, Christian gentleman, standing
for high ideals IN life and against every
evil that rObs young men of their char
acter and manhood, and the womanhood
of our country of its virtue and beauty.
That he viii be found working, fighting
and voting first, last and at al time for
