Supreme Court Justice Delivers
July 4 Address.
progress of American Altru-
ism," Subject of Speech.

Beloit. Kansas. July 5.-America is
the most aItruistic nation, according
to Judson S. West, justice of the Kan
sas supreme court. who spoke at the
annual Fourth of July celebration here
Saturday Judge West pointed out
that recent years. and months, in the
United States have witnessed the most
arduous efforts for peace and the most
persistent offers of our good offices
to preserve it in both American and
Europe.
The speaker took as his topic THE
Progress of American Altruism." He
cited American history as examples
of the progress made.
I'm the beginning" he said, when
the federal constitution was framed
three specific, though not express.
recognitions of slavery were placed
therein. These fixed the basis of rep
reservation, forbade importation after
1908 and required fugitive slaves to
be surrendered. But the Civil war, a
war of progress, abolished slavery al
together"
The war of 1912 was one for pre-
serving our rights on the high seas,
he pointed out, and the war of 1851
for the preservation of the Union by
the extirpation of slavery, therefore
one for human progress.
1.-The war of 1898 was begun and
completed solely to relieve an ap-
pressed neighbor and in no wise for
conquest, our nation acting simply as
the Good Samaritan" he continued.
The return of a portion of the Chi
nese indemnity after the Boxer re-
bellion was the first application of
the golden rule TO the principles of
international law
The only war in American history
not actuated by the higher motives,
Judge West asserted, was that of 1S45.
Two years ago the English Lord
Chancellor addressing the American
Bar Association at Montreal took as
his text ''Sittlichkeit" and dweIt upon
the spirit of friend1iness and comfy
prevailing among the nations, some of
which are engaged now in the most
horrible war ever known" Judge West
concluded. But already this Lord
Chancellor's country has recalled him
for acting too much in line with the
text of his address.
1T is to be hoped that our nation,
which has made such marvellous prog
ress in altruism and which recently
celebrated one hundred years of peace
with the mother country, may, before
long, be able to assist in allaying the
strife across the sea-"

FLIES ARE SCARCE.
Rarely Are More Than Half a Dozen
Found I'm Any One House.

AS a result of three seasons of fly
the city are scarce. In many local.
ties there are so few flies that the resi-
dents were not aware that the fly sea-
son is on.
J. A Ramsey, city sanitary sergeant,
has received reports from twenty
housewives in each ward in the city
or 120 for the entire city. The method
followed was to call by telephone and
inquire of the lady of the house as
to the number of flies in her home.
AS none was expecting to be called,
there was no opportunity to prepare
for good report by clearing the house
of flies in advance, SO the reports in
dictate a fair average for the entire
city.
More flies were found in the homes
in the Third ward than in any other
part of the city. The Second ward
made an especially good showing. In
found, and six was an exceptionally
high number. Several housewives
who are devotees of the fly-swatting
faith reported that as a result of con-
slant vigilance they had killed from
two to six flies during the season. And
they said they had not let a single fly
escape that had been discovered in the
house.
Not a single unfavorable report was
received. Every person questioned
said that flies are less numerous this
season than last, and that last season
showed an Improvement over the sea-
son previous. which was the time the
anti-fiy campaign began.

RAIN HATS CELEBRATION.
Saturday storm Don't Affect Crops in
Phillips County.

Phillipsburg, Kan, July 5.-The
celebration here Saturday was spoiled
by an inch of rain that fell between
1 and 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The
morning was CLOUDY and cool and the
parade was held as scheduled. Many
good floats were in the procession.
The wheat crop is very promising
In spite of the wet weather of the past
few weeks but some clear warm
weather is needed to ripen the grain.
The people are very optimistic over
the prospect of crop This. is shown
by the large number of improvements
being made and the number of auto
mobiles being sold. There are about
six hundred in the county now and
the agents can hardly get them fast
enough to meet the demand.

Lieutenant Governor Taylor,
when asked with relation to the
reported conference in Spokane
denied that he was present at any
such conference or that, so far as
he knew, any such conference had
been held.
Mr.. Taylor has stated that it
is too early to make formal an
Inouncement of his candidacy but
rests upon his statement hereto
fore made that he will be a can
didate for the Republican nom
ination for governor and that any
reports TO the contrary are un-
founded and are circulated either
as a matter of news or by those
who wish to prevent his candi-
dacy; that in any event he will be
a candidate up TO- the date of the
primary and expects to be nom
mated
Mr.. Taylor deplores the sec
tionalism sought to be injected
nto the contest, saying that nei-
ther the north, south or south
east should fan itself into a white
heat in support of a sectional
candidacy, for when the nomina-
ton is made the candidate and
the party will need the votes Of
the entire state. No person
should be nominated governor
who is not big enough to repre-
sent the whole state Of Idaho. No
icne would say that Senator Bor-
ah, Senator Brady or Congress-
man Smith did not represent the
whole state of Idaho, although
they each came from the south
or southeastern part of the state.
IA man should not be picked for
his geographical location alone.
Mr.. Taylor bases his candidacy
upon his previous record and
says that in due time he will make
formal announcements; that he
expects to run upon the Re
ican platform adopted by the
platform convention of the party
md that he will have something
to do with making that platform
and that if he is not the nominee
OF the party, the man who is will
have a good platform to run on.
Mr.. Taylor refused to be quoted
but stated that he wished to have
denied the report which has been
somewhat circulated to the ef-
feet that he would not be a can
didate.

Christmas Very
Quiet Day

Christmas was a very quiet day
in this city. The heavy snow
fall of the night before covered
up the ice and spoiled the skat-
ing and although there was
plenty of snow for sleighing very
few availed themselves of it.
There were Christmas exercises
in all of the churches on Christ
mas eve. Good programs had
been arranged and in spite of the
heavy snow the exercises were
vii attended. A special musical
program had been arranged for
the midnight mass at the Catholic
church and the building was
crowded. The program was an
excellent one and was very we'll
rendered and very much enjoyed
by those present.
