WHY BONDS WERE LOST

II is real comical to hear the diff
ferent explanations why the bond is
sue did not carry.
We heard two fellows talking and
they said the Socialists" did IL. That
they were against the government and
taxes for anything. After a long and
spirited argument il was made plain
10 us that this county was doomed to
ruin unless we could convert the So
calists to the belief that q new oun
try is practically worthless unless it
has good roads and schools and to get
these we must tax those who are able
TO pay. and those who are able TO pay
are the ones who own property and
chattels. stock, etc. Therefore we
thought very little of any doctrine of
a nature to oppose everything good,
but just then we happened 10 think
the Socialists, while a number vote
that ticket, they belong to the minor
ity party, and we wondered where the
republicans and democrats were on
election day, why they couldn't out
vote a party with only a small per-
centage of the voters belonging to It's
ranks.
Strange, but il looks to US like the
old parties have a few members who
turn down propositions like that Of a
county high school or road bonds. The
blame cannot be put IN the shoulders
of our socialist brethren, but must
rest on causes best known to each par
ticular precinct.
One town fought it because good
roads meant the opening of competi-
ton for business which has hereto
fore been forced to go its way. This
town would have benefited in many
other ways but the voters could see
those farmers going to another town
TO trade. Others voted against it be-
cause the road was sure TO 20 near
the other fellows farm and he would
derive all the benefits therefrom. An
other precinct voted against it because
they did not want the town folks pes
ticating around in their buzz" wag-
n and soaring their cattle. One pre-
cinct reported they voted against the
proposition because a certain fellow
was for it and they wanted to show
him how much they believed in what
he said and done. Each place had a
different line of argument and there
we're a few democrats and republicans
voted against the bonds-quite a few.
Bonds don't sound good to poor folks
and rich folks are not fond of them,
hut it has been proven time and time
again that the mar who has good
business judgment and borrows mon

ey is the man who becomes rich. He
does not run large accounts with the
expectancy of not paying them. but
he borrows money with which to add
his W cash and goes to work to
make his chosen profession pay no
matter what that profession is.

who had enough cash to buy all the
stock he chose to handle. Many c

without. A successful farmer does
not wait until he has made a fortune
before he buys cattle with which he
expects to make money.

Dear SIR
Perhaps n few observations on my

sentative from Quay county in the
session Of the Legislature just closed.
might be Of some interest to some Of
your readers.
| can't say hat | was disappointed
ut anything that happened there, or
in the final results: therefore. do not
think that the public in general was
disappointed. When Jesus made his
appearance in Jerusalem and was per-
forming his wonderful works, the Jews

any good thing come from Nazareth"

been asking. Can any good thing be
expected of the Republican party?"

and the speakers of the House as we'll.
On the whole, however. ] was not very
favorably impressed with what | saw.

to conclude that the session of the

Upon one occasion which | have in

had passed the ether house, were be-
fore a committee. A representative
of the corporation effected, appeared
before this committee. He read the
numbers of these Objectionable bills
and stated WE emphasizing WEI,

any argument left the room. The re-
suit was that these Objectionable bills

sentative Of any interest presenting

pie to represent the interests Of all

Again, IL was not the place for

how lofty his ideals are, he is loathe

Most of the farmers are honest but
we have known Of some who were not.
A few weeks ago one reported that
Melrose was paying more than a dol
lar per bushel for maize. when the
reliable list in the paper showed that
town was paying but soc. Such things
as this work a hardship on all con-

the end. Farmers need good market
facilities and so do the towns but they
will never get together as long as they
fight like dogs and cats and have no
confidence in each other.

CHINA BUYING COTTON
 SPINNING MACHINERY HERE.
Heretofore It Was All Bought in
 Japan or in Europe.

Tien-Tsin, China, Dec. 20.-Con- tracts have been signed with a Mass achusetts concern for Sso0,0OO worth of machinery for the establishment of two modern spinning mills here The mills are to have 25,00O spindles, and are to be capable of ex- parsion to double that number after sufficient labor has been trained. The Chinese minister of agriculture and commerce is a shareholder in one of the companies andthe minister of fi- nance is interested in the other.
 This is the first time that Aneri- can cotton manufacturing machinery has been sold in China in large quan- titles. Heretofore the Chinese manu- facturers have looked to Europe. and frequently have bought secondhand machinery from Japan. It was through the effort of Julean H. Ar mold. the American commercial att tache at Picking, that the American manufacturers were persuaded to en-
