of doing much for the place we all
call home. Perhaps, though, you
are not making the best use of your
qualifications: Possibly diffidence
keeps you in the background when
you should be in your rightful place
well up toward the front and talk

lively, and get to the head of the col

The more leaders we have the less
followers there will be, and when

can do it, and others think so. and
now we want to see you both think
and do.

or course We have all heard Of
"killing the goose that lays the gol-
den egg." We think too much of
our splendid farmer friends to liEen
them to the awkward feathery tribe.
but they surely are the people with
the golden eggs. And isn't It jus1
possible that we Of the town are

measures to connect up with the
eggs of gold? Isn't it possible that
we are neglecting the interests OF
the farmer to the extent that he in
time becomes Indifferent to us and
send hist baskets of precious metals
to other points in payment for his
necessities? Again we suggest a
broader spirit of reciprocity We
suggest that measures be taken to
see that our farmer friends are af-
forded every facility for the prompt
and profitable marketing of their
every product right in this town. 1t
does not require any great amount
of intelligence for a person to see
the financial significance of such
course. And don't neglect the wife
and daughter of the farmer when
they, too. come to town. 1t should
not be necessary for them to spend
hours on their feet waiting for the
farmer to transact his business be-
fore returning. a comfortable
waiting room should be provided in
the heart OF town, where they can
while away the tedious hours of
waiting by reading, writing or Wis
iting with one another. Let it De

Tired of Democratic Control.

I have been in Arizona, New Mex
leo and other states of the southwest
since l left Washington" said former
Postmaster General Hitchcock in =,
interview, but my legal residence is
in New York. Every Republican, no
matter from what section he may
come, must be deeply interested in
the forthcoming campaign. for it is
written so everyone who runs may
read that we are coming back That
is the feeling everywhere | never
knew more optimism among Repub.
licans. Everywhere the people are
talking, but as for candidates. really
haven't any opinion. The sentiment
appears to be that the party will name
a candidate worthy the great Office
and that whoever is named will be
elected. The people are tired after
three years of Democratic control
and are crying for change The
tariff no doubt will be the one big
issue upon which the campaign will
be fought"

McPhee's Reinvestment.

An Trishman named McPhee lived in
a shanty that stood in field near a
main highway out of Kansas City.
The foundations of the shanty were
lower than the road, through which

floor of the lace was raised on posts
to make it level with the highway. it

McPhee kept a dozen hens.

damages against the city. After much
delay, influential friends succeeded in
getting thirty dollars in settlement OF
his claim.

PARTY'S CHOICE WISE
Republicans Do Well to Hold Con.
vention in Chicago.
Meeting at the Scene OF Its Disaster
in 1912 the Party Will Show the
Country That 1t Is Reunited
and Aggressive.

The Republican party will meet in
Chicago a week before the Democrat
ic party meets in St. Louis, and will
define the issues upon which it viii
attempt to elect a successor to Wood
row Wilson. The convention will dc
its best to choose a candidate who
personifies the reunited and aggres-
sive spirit of the Republican party
Republicans everywhere will ap
prove the aggressive attitude of the
national committee in arranging foi
an early convention at Chicago. The
forthcoming struggle will be as fierce
as any political campaign ever con
Quoted in the United States. Chica
go, where the Republican party was
split open, is the place where the
breach should be healed. The memo
ries of the passions that led to disas
ter will chasten the delegates and con.
strain them to sacrifice everything tc
the cause of victory.
1t is fitting that the opposition
should make the attack. 1t need not
wait for the Democrats to nominate
Mr.. Wilson or publish their platform
What the Democrats will do is as well
known now, or will be as this session
of congress progresses, as it will be
on June II. The main question be
fore the people is what the Repub
lican party will do in selecting its
champion and stating it's position
That party has much to gain by en-
ergy, boldness and initiative. 1t would
lose much by hesitation or feebleness
in defining the issues or by choosing
a weak leader through compromise
/ The Republicans feel instinctively
that defeating Mr.. Wilson is no small
mans task. They recognize the fac
that circumstances have given hin
some strong weapons They believe
however, that they can win, and the.
give proof of their confidence by re
turning to the scene of their disaste
and making the first move in the com
| ing battle.

Tariff and Politics.

Secretary McAdoos statement that
the administration is trying to take
the tariff out of politics is rather anus
ing. To be sure, the tariff obscures

nevertheless. No doubt the admins
tration would like to take the national
deficit out of politics. too.-Kansas
