Just a Moment
DAILY STRENGTH AND CHEER.
Compiled by John G. Quinius.
(The Sunshine Mani

Prudence lin its ordinary but most
inadequate sense) has done very lit
tie for the world except to tease and
hinder many Of its masters and sover-
eigns. It would have kept back every
mariner from the deep. and deferred
every traveller from the desert-it
would have kept Abram at home.
and found Moses a comfortable settle
ment in Egypt. Beware OF imprudent
prudence; it will lull you to sleep.
and bring you to nameless and
worthless end.
It must not always be too rigidly
observed.
We sacrifice too much to prudence
and in fear OF incurring the danger or
reproach of enthusiasm, too often
stihe the holiest impulses Of the un-
derstanding and Of the heart-Sou-
they.
It may. upon occasion, be wholly
disregarded.
The highest wisdom lies sometimes
in yielding to the moments burning
inspiration. and IN disregarding the
dictates OF mere prudence.
Religion in most countries. more OF
less in every country. is no longer
what Il was. and should be-a thou
sand-voiced psalm from the heart OF
man to his invisible Father the foun-
tain Of all goodness, beauty, truth
and revealed in every revelation OF
these; but for the most part a wise
prudential feeling, grounded on mere
calculation; a matter as all others
now are. OF oXDediency and utility
whereby some smaller quantum o
earthly enjoyment may be exchanged
for far larger quantum Of celestia
enjoyment. Thus religion. too is proft
a working for wages; not reyer
ence. but vulgar hope or fear.-Car-
lyle.

with whom Mr. Stanton was not as
sociated either as a friend or ac-
quaintance. And the wide extent Of
that acquaintance is made clear by
the fact that he was on pleasant
terms with Jefferson Davis when the
latter was a member Of the United
States Senate.
In 1877. I talked with Mr.. Stanton,

the latter part of April 1861. only a
few days after President Lincoln had
issued his proclamation in which he
called for 10000 volunteers. Douglas
whom Lincoln had defeated for the
Presidency. became a stanch sup
porter OF Lincoln after the struggle
began. and he supplemented Lincoln's
proclamation by issuing a strong ap.
peal to his friends to give Lincoln
their support.

KIsMET WILL CELEBRATE

The little city of Kismet will hold
Celebration next Monday, September
4, in honor of the many things that
have been done by her enterprising
citizens during the past year. Kis-
met boasts of being the fastest grow
ing town on the Rock Island in south
western Kansas, and when we look
at the past years record we are al
most inclined to believe she is right
about It, The town now has three
and half times the population Of a
year ago, has built at least dozen
substantial residences during that
time, a $500 church, several new
mercantile buildings, brick bank
and two-story building with hall
upstairs, a new depot, addition to the
school house, and two-story ware
house, the latter three being now un-
der course of construction. The peo-
pie of Kismet think they are justly
entitled to celebrate such a prosper
GUS condition of affairs, and have Sc
lected the date mentioned on which
to do 80. It will be a big picnic and
carnival to which the whole world is
| invited. The day will be filled with
entertainments, sports, merry-g0-
round for the children and other car
nival attractions. Geo. H. Rose Of
Kismet has charge of the concession
end of the picnic and anyone desiring
20 run a stand on the grounds that
day should get in communication
with him. The people Of Liberal are
expecting good delegation Of M Kis-

STRIKE CALLED FOR MONDAY

The latest report on the strike is
to the effect that President Wilson
and the railroad presidents have
failed to reach an agreement and
most of the latter have returned to
their homes. The strike has been
called for next Monday, which is
Labor Day, unless an agreement be-
tweeit the tso factions y can be
reached before that time, which
seems doubtful. All the larger rail-
roads of the country have placed an
embargo on perishable freight that
cannot reach its destination before Z
o'clock Monday morning, and IL the
strike really goes into effect at that
time there will be untold suffering all
over the United States. President
Wilson is now asking congress to
pass an eight-hour law and hopes
thus to compel the roads to come to
the strikers demands. The strike
situation is just little bit bigger job
for the President to handle than the
Lusitania case, 1t seems.

every lot in the addition will be for

the writer's privilege to. take drive

coming residence section this week,
and it was certainly laid out with an
eye to the future. You get an excel
lent view of Liberal from every foot
of the new addition and the streets
are all laid out to correspond with
the streets as laid out in the adjoin-
ing sections of the town. Mr.. Baugh-
man has an ad. in this issue of the
Democrat calling your attention to
the approaching sale and telling you
how to get out there to take look
at the lots. He will have another
one next week. Watch these ads.

consideration if you are contemplat-
ing buying site on which to erect a

Among the many splendid attrac-
tions being arranged for the Fair is
the poultry exhibit. The poultry de-
partment is planning to make the ex-
hibit bigger and better in every way

fancy or pure bred poultry in all the
country tributary to Liberal to get
busy and see that his favorite is

all are expected to contribute to the

Lampe Sells Lumber Yard

VIM. Lampe, who has been operat.
ing a lumber yard on East Second
street for the last two years, sold his
business the last week to H. G. Will
son of Hutchinson. Mr.. Wilson has
been travelling for the American Sash
& Door Co. of Kansas City, Mo. He
is expected to come to Liberal at an
early date and take charge of the
yard. He expects to enlarge the
stock. Friends in the city who have
known Mr.. Wilson for some time say
that he is a good business man and
will doubtless make success of the
venture. Mr.. Lampe will devote his
attention to other interests.

Summers Store Robbed

The Chas. Summers & Sons dry
goods store was robbed some time
Saturday night and clothing and
shoes to the amount Of $237.00 were
taken. 1t is thought that two or
three men operated. Entrance to the
store was made at the rear of the
north department. After removing
the screen, the window glass was
broken and then the latch holding
the window in place was removed.
The window was raised and the men
were in possession of the store. They
secured two leather bags and two
suit cases and filled them with three
and half suits of clothes, silk shirts,
handkerchiefs, socks and Douglas
shoes.
The robbery was discovered Sun
day morning and Sheriff Dobson in
formed, who started investigation.
Sunday evening, while the Frank
Caudle boys were hunting in their
sorghum field Just east of the city,
they found two new suit cases and
the hand bags and Immediately in
formed the sheriff. The official went
to the Caudle place and when look
ing over the goods, picked up a man
who appeared to know considerable
about the goods. The man gave his
name as w. d. Moore and 1t appears
that he is not employed at anything
in particular. He was searched and
key was found in pocket that
fitted one of the suit cases. Moore
was taken to the Jail. All the goods
taken from the store have been re-
covered. Sheriff Dobson has picked
another suspect and may have an
other today. He feels certain that
he has one of the robbers and there
are good chances for finding the 9TH
ers,
