GUARD AMERICAN IDEALS.

The recent A. F. of L. convention at San Francisco made this deciara- tion in support of it's advocacy of a literacy test for immigrants:
 "The American labor movement Is not devoted in any of it's manifesto tions or activities to any proposition having for its purpose the closing of the gates of opportunity to any man or woman, no matter. what race or color, but in justice to the men and women of America who have develop cd by their industry and through their thrift, who have created from their intelligence and fostered by their genius institutions that properly should conserve the highest and dear est rights of mankind while securing a standard of living which is higher and productive of better results than any other known to the worlds his tory, cannot complacently view, ol quietly submit to the operation of any

TT MIGHT BE WORSE.

The window sash came hurting down on klckshaw's shapely head and neck; 1t nearly spoiled his toil- worn crown and made his ears a hopeless wreck. Then Kickshaw sat and nursed his head, man reduced to grievous pass; yet with a cheerful smile he said: "I'm glad 1t didn't break the glass;" He might have rip ped around and swore, till people heard him round a block, or kicked a panel from the door, or thrown the tom-cat through the clock; he might have dealt in language weird and made the housewife's blood run cold, he might have raved and torn his beard and wept as Rachel wept of old. But Kickshaw's made of better stuff, no tears he sheds, no teeth he grinds; when dire misfortune. makes a bluff, he looks for comfort, which he finds. And SO he bears his throbbing ache, and puts a poultice on his brain, and says: "I'm glad it didn't break that rich, imported window pane." It never helps a man to beg when trou-
 ble comes and knocks him lame; there's solace back of every grief, if he will recognize the same.

AMERICANS ARE NOT
 BUYING HORSE MEAT

NEW YORK: The action of the New York hea..n in permitting the sale of horse meat after the beginning of the new year has not resulted in creating demand for that article. Commissioner Emerson commenting on the law says:
 "There is no reason why horse flesh should not be eaten. The stand ling of horse meat abroad Is shown by the experience of Dr. Alderman, who found in Brussels that horse meat from England brought higher prices than beef from Argentine"
 A canvass of Butchers in Washing ton Market showed opinion divided. One characterized the horse meat az |abominable while others were eau ally confident that it meant the saving |of the poor. One dealer expected no saving for the poor. but believed that unfit meat would be offered.
 Many did not believe the American people could be educated into eat ling horse meat. Only one dealer was found who, wanted to sell the meat.

AN APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT.

To MT. Wilson, President of the U. States, and Territory of Aaa.: l. Honorable Sir: If you, knew the rotten condition of the Democratic party in Alaska you would let up on Mexico and send Sec. Lansing out to Valdez, National Committeeman Wm. Baylis, and Sulzer, and the Democrat lie Club of Valdez are trying to make the people believe they are Demo- |crats. We say they are not and can prove it. They have never associated with us in the past, and will not give us one dollar toward our support. We'll leave it to you. Woodrow, if that is giving us a square deal. There are some. 15O'.men in Valdez who claim to be Democrats, but will not join our club. We have always been Democrats between elections, and the attempt to tear down our noble organization is called to your attention. .
 When we find out which party Wickersham is going to support, we will have two more members. If you have any inside dope on National af- fairs wire the Star at your expense. But believe me, Woodrow, things are rotten in Valdez in the Dem. party, and if you poll any vote here don't blame us.

ALASKAN TOWNS GROW FAST.

Nobody knows how fast an Ameri- can city, state or town may grow. recall some 25 years ago meeting a friend in Denver. He was an inves- tor from the East I think Denver had about 30,000 people then. He had come to buy real estate. He said to me, "This place is overgrown. Real estate is too high. Not for me. '" And he went away.

It was little place, not one-tenth it's pres ent size. It seemed like doomed city. An investment of $500 then in outlying acreage property. am told, would be worth $500,000 today.

Queen of Greece Has Been Called to
 Visit German Emperor Who Is Reported Seriously Ill.

LONDON, Jan. 15.-Amsterdam dispatches report that Emperor Wi.- liam of Germany is in serious con- dition and that his sister, Queen So- phie. of Greece, has been summoned to his bedside. He is known to be under the care of>specialists and is confined to the palace but all dis patches from Berlin state that he is not victim of cancer of the throat as earlier reported. ..~.,,.. A little more than a year ago, in December, 1914, there was an off cial admission from Berlin that the emperor was i'll, the announcement stating that he was suffering from a ieverish bronchial catarrh. It was said, however, that at all times he has been able to give his attention to the reports on the war situation from the general staff.
 All sorts of rumors have been in circulation as to the Emperor's con- dition, and it was reported from Paris on what was claimed to be good authority that his condition was so serious that. the surgeons feared to attempt an operation.
 The Crown Prince has remained by the side of his father since being summoned from the front several days ago.

ANOTHER DUPONT PLANT DESTROYED Acid House of Works at Gibbtown, N. J. Destroyed Causing the
 Loss of Several Lives.

GIBBTOWN, N. J., Jan. 15.-The acid house of the DuPont Powder company here was destroyed. by an explosion last night, resulting in the deaths of several workers and in- juries to scores of others.
 The explosion last night is the eighth to occur in the plant of the company during the past twelve months despite the precautions of the officials of the company. The cause of the explosion which wrecked the acid plant will probably never be known as every man in the building was instantly killed.
 The frequent explosions in the Du- Pont plants have caused the employees to become suspicious of their fellow workers and numerous arrests have been made only to find that no evid- ence against the accused could be se- cured.
 Had the explosion occurred during the day the loss of life would have been enormous as hundreds of men are employed in and around the building during the day shift. The guards stationed near the building have been examined and assert that no strangers were admitted, nor did any apply, during the previous day.

THE DEAD TOWN.

Did you ever go into a town, and, as you stepped from the train, have 1t strike you suddenly that the, town sewas dead? Have you ever had a town described to you as "tead town? Have you every stopped to analyze just what is meant by these words "dead town?" In the last anal ysis they mean just one thing-and that is that the merchants of the town don't advertise A dead town has cer- tain positive aspects of demise which are as bald as piece of crepe hang ing to the door. The stores seem to be merely existing. Their shelfs are covered with apparently unstable goods. The storekeepers seem to be wing with each other to see which will win the first prize as the town grouch. If you talked with them they knocked the town, they knocked business, they knocked the mail or der house. They were continually complaining that other people did business and made money but that they didn't seem to be able to sell anything. They guessed it was the town. Yes, that~was 1.-the town!
 If you asked one of these mer- chants if he advertised, he would have looked at you with amazement. What was the use of advertising when business was so bad? People who had money to spend, he would tell yo,A were sending it to the mail order houses. No, he would say he u4u. advertise? He wouldn't throw good money after bad. On the other hand, go into 8 live town and what will you see? The merchants have attractive displays in their stores. The daily or weekly newspapers are filled with big announcements of spe- cial sales or low priced goods. They are not afraid of the mail order houses because they have the same means to reach the people-adver- tising-that makes the mail order house great. The merchants have their local association for mutaal help and behind the association the local newspaper is pushing, pushing, push ing. Everybody is working and ev- erybody is happy and boosting. If you want a live town get behind the newspaper and the newspaper will do the rest. Forget the timeworn argu- ments that the paper is dead ono. The paper is alive enough if the peo- ple are alive. The surest test of 8 live town is a live newspaper, and a newspaper can't be alive unless the town boosters do their share.-Frank E. Cole in Printers.

Chas. Murray of Comanche county,
who has been looking about for sew
eral months for location, decided to
buy three quarters in Seward county
just for the simple reason that he
couldn't find anything as good.
Fred Hase of Coldwater is a wide
awake young farmer, who decided
after little investigation that he
could not afford to pay the high
prices in his locality when he could
secure better land here. He bought
$40 acres north of the Cimarron and
will make improvements and soon
have farm there.
Andy Poltera, a Comanche county
farmer, having tired Of paying high
rents, bought land here on easy pay
ments, and is now paying rent money
on the purchase price for land that
will make him money.
John and Fred Williamson, who
reside few miles west of Plains,
were here the other day and bought
1900 acres for farm. They realized
that thye needed more land and
wanted 1t in Seward county where
they knew that crops would be raised
and there is chance for a profit to
be made on the rise in real estate
which will come shortly.
w. M. Wilson, master mechanic on
the Ell Paso division, who has a
chance to observe all the land along
the long division, has decided to in
vest where the Investment will pay
best. He bought half section, five
miles northwest of the city.
Ezra Shorb, the hardware man on
Second street east, bought a half Sec
ton of land six miles northwest of
the city short time ago, and Is
erecting a fine residence and making
other improvements.
w. e. Bloom, who is one of our
most successful farmers, has conclud-
ed to acquire more farm land, and re-
Gently bought a half section. Mr..
Bloom has made great improvements
on his farm, four miles north and
west.
. John Schmitt, who recently sold
his farm, which was known as the
Ault ranch In the days before Mr..
Schmidt came to the country ten
years ago, has bought another farm
but farther north. His new posses
sion consists Of seven quarter sec
tions. He says he wants to secure
cheaper land while 1t is in reach.
Mr.. Schmitt is one of the progress
sive farmers Of the west. He came
from Barton county and had q fore
knowledge Of the climatic conditions
that prevail in this section, and was
therefore the better enabled to plant
such crops as we're most likely to
produce a paying yield. He has al
ways had in mind that to plant a va
riety Of, crops such as kafir, maize,
broomcorn and wheat, he was sure to
find crop in some part of the sea-
son and perhaps be able to create a
yield in all of the crops. He has new
er suffered loss and only one year
of the nine has he suffered a near
failure and at that time all the far
mers of the west were in bad shape
and many worse than that.
Mr.. Schmitt is an extensive and in
