Lansdon Will See That the Or.
phans Get q Square Deal

w. G. Lansdon, the Democrat
lie nominee for governor, has
stated publicly that, when gov
ernOT, he will see that the little
orphans at the State Home at
Atchison will get a square deal
They will be given the best that
Kansas can give them under
Lansdon, but how different un-
der Capper. He has hampered
them at every turn. He forced
the board of control to appoint
a politician as superintendent,
Just because he did good work
for Camper. This was the very
man who was removed by a for
mer administration because he
was incompetent. Capper knows
he vetoed an appropriation that
would have put the home in
good condition. He knows the
institution has not been man
aged properly and he knows it
from his own appointees. Sen
ator Lambertson, the appointee
of Capper, stated that it was
badly managed. DIR. Devilbiss
of the State Board of Health,
and an appointee of Capper, says
the place is unfit for children,
and yet Capper makes no effort
to remedy conditions. If Cap
per will parole criminals convict
ed of crimes against little chill
dren, and then fail to protect
other parentless children, is he
the man for governor? Better
turn him down and put in a man
who has the welfare of the chill
dren of Kansas at heart.
Meade County news., 1916-10-26
They Are Wondering

Many Kansas people would like
to know whether or not Arthur
Capper is going to support Rob-
ert Stone for reelection to the
legislature. Stone is an attorney
for the receiver of the Gas Com
pany.
When you go to Topeka take a
look at the White Way around
the state house grounds. This
cost you taxpayers $9,725. Then
notice that Capper is getting a
great deal of the benefit. Didn't
notice him vetoing that bill, did
you?
Capper refused to parole John
Flack and then went down to the
office and had an editorial writ
ten for his Topeka Capital com
mending himself for it. Mighty
convenient when a governor can
have a paper and tell the public
himself what a fine governor he
is.
The Capper administration is
trying to fool the people in every
way possible. His party platform
is against the Utilities Commits
sion being made receivers for
corporations when they fail. Yet
Capper is for it. The Democratic
platform came out strongly for
this plank. How can Capper ex-
pect to get a bill through when
his party is against it? In fact
there is some doubt as to Capper
favoring this plank. He probab-
ly is for it publicly because he
thinks it will make him votes
while privately he probably
stands with his party.
The Capper administration is
trying to play both ends against
the middle. Capper was against
preparedness, but the national
convention declared for it;
Hughes is for it and Capper is
for Hughes yet Capper claims he
is against preparedness. Can
you figure out just where Capper
stands?

Jouett Shouse and Rural Credits

JOuett ShOuse and Rural Credits
"Washington-To the Star:
While l would be the last person
on earth to project myself un-
necessarily into a campaign out
side of my own state, l think
there can be no impropriety in
my contradicting an utterly
false report which l am in
formed has been disseminated in
the district represented by my
colleague, Hon. Jouett Shouse.
"The report, as it comes to me,
is that Mr.. Shouse had little, if
anything, to do with the franz
ing and passage by Congress of
the Rural Credits Bill. AS chair
man of the banking and curren-
cy committee of the House, |
think l am in a position to speak
definitely of Mr.. Shouse's activi-
ties in this respect, and do not
hesitate to say that, with a sin
gle exception, Mr.. Shouse did as
much as any member of the COM
mittee in urging and securing it's
passage. Mr.. Shouse made him
self so useful in this respect that
he personally received the
thanks Of the President. Within
the fourteen years that | have
been a member Of the banking
and currency committee | have
not a more useful associate than
Jouett Shouse.
GARTER GLASS;"
The foregoing letter from
Carter Glass of West Virginia,
chairman of the House commit
tee on banking and currency, is
in answer to a campaign trick of
the Simmons managers in the
Seventh Kansas District, who
are reading a list of the mem
bers of the House committee anC
omitting the name of Mr.
Shouse, insisting that Mr.
Shouse had nothing to do with
the Rural Credits Bill.
Mr.. Glass's statement as tc
the usefulness of Mr.. Shouse is
in accord with Mr.. Shouse's rec.
ord as a member of the Kansas
Senate before he was elected t.
Congress. He went to the, sen.
ate new to Kansas and new tc
Legislative experience. But in
two years he became the leader
of that body, because of his abil.
ity and his tireless energy in
making himself useful to Kan.

Try the Home Store

If ever you should chance to
need a flock of tame typhoons or
a pickle dish or a curry comb or
a peck of toy balloons, or a wood
en- hen or bale of hay or half a
ton of ice, don't send your money
to some firm that quote a tempt
ing price. that's far below your
own home stores. | tell you on
the square it's illuminated state
ments are full of red hot air. 1t
is not always safe to trust the
pictures in a book. You can not
tell how stuff will wear by how
the pictures look. The chances
are the tempting price is nothing
but a bait. Sometimes the stuff
that's shipped to folks is hardly
worth the freight. Still, even
if the printed talk the firm sends
out is true, the guy who runs the
big she-bang is no good friend to
you. He does not know you're
on the earth. You could not buy
on tick a penny's worth of dope
from him if all your friends
were sick, A better plan, before
you buy, is TO nose around and
see if you can find good stuff at
home-with that you will agree?
And then, perchauce, your dollar
bills may help TO boost your
town-may help the men in
business here-who never turn
you down. -

METHODIST

Our annual Old Folks day was
observed on last Sunday. Faith
er Stamper was present and
preached good sermon. 1t is
surprising how he is able to do
so well with all the years of ser
vice, but his thought was clear
and he preached with one break.
Father Stamper expressed
himself as being thankful for all
of his friends who came out to
this service which is a service in
his honor perhaps more than
any other person. We are hop
ing that he will be with us an
other year that we may honor
him at his eighty-ninth year.
The Sunday school offering
for the children of Armenia
amounted to more than $1,000,
for which we wish to thank all
the school.
We haven't reached our goal
Tor the month of October. We
will hope that on the last Sunday
there will be such a large attend
ance that we will more than
reach what we hoped to in this
month. Make your arrange
ments to be there and help make
the attendance what it should
be.
There will be preaching SER
vices at Sunny Dell on next Sun
day afternoon. You are invited
to worship with us.

How Catarrh Is Contracted

Mothers are sometimes so thought
less as to neglect the colds which
their children contract. The infiam-
nation of the mucus membrane, at
first acute, becomes chronic and the
child has chronic catarrh, a disease
that is seldom cured and that may
prove life's burden. Many persons
who have this loathsome disease will
remember having had frequent colds
at the time 1t was contracted. A lit
tie forethought, bottle Of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy judiciously
used. and all this trouble might have
been avoided. Obtainable every
where.

Old Cities of Western Asia.

The maps of the Roman empire
show western Asia dotted with
cities, and Byzantium was of course
standing where Constantinople is
today, at the tip of Europe on the
western side of the Bosporus, in
Thrace. On the eastern side of the
Bosporus was Chalcedon. South of
the Dardanelles the city of Illium
or Troy, marked on the maps of the
time of the Persian empire, had dis
appeared and was not on maps of
the times of the Caesars.
