ETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE


is it possible that we Americans are
preparing to go to slaughter, like
that now going on in benighted
Europe.
The point I wish to make out of
this is, just so sure as we go into the
wholesale training for militarism, so
sure will we hunt for trouble.
read your speech on preparedness
from the Congressional RECORD.
agree with you on this subject. Of
course we all want to keep abreast
Of the times on improved inventions
Of war, and a reasonable increase of
our Navy and land forces.
| saw statement in the paper a
short time ago that it cost the Gov
eminent 10000 dollars to put stu
dent through West Point, $4,000 at
Annapolis, and only $1,000 at Har-
ward. If the above is true, why this
great contrast?
| think we should double our at
tendance at our two military schools,
and possibly build another in the
West.
| am quite sure that Japan will be
drawn into this European.Aar, and
by the time Germany gets through
with the Allies she will be so COM
pletely exhausted that she will not
want any more fighting for a half
century at least. BY that time with
an economic, reasonable preparation,
keeping in harmony with the oSutn
American Republics, we need not fear
an attack from ali Europe combined
| am confident, if the United States
does not lose it's head, and go wild on
preparedness that when the present
war is over the waring nations will
disband their armies and follow our
example.
/ attended our Annual Farmers
Banquet during Farmers week a few
evenings ago, l heard Sam Jordan,
''MissOum's Greatest Corn Man" say
in a speech that the farmers were
still at the mercy Of the money own
ers and big interests.
I also heard a Mrs Harvey of
Kirksville, who is running a model
country school near her town, say
that Missouri had 10000 one-room
schOOlhouses, and that the educa-
tional facilities Of our states youths
was in about the same condition as
20 years ago.
Not like. Rip Van Wrinkle of old,
| ,aWOke and found conditions of the
ruralists as they were 20 years ago
when you and l were advocating two
per cent. money, by the government
on lard and farm products.
On reading your speech in the
Record on Farm Credits | was in
hopes the dawn was breaking. Later
on reading the enclosed editorial from
the pen Of Thomas E. Watson on the
Administration Rural Credits Bill
I am wondering whether the farmers
were not going to be hoodwinked as
usual.
Being on the job, "Its up to you,'
to see that for once "Old man
People" gets Square DEAL" es-
pecially in the proposed Rural
Credits Bill.

Dear Sir: The undersigned was
DELEGATE from the St. Joseph, Mis-

National Convention in 1896 at ST.
Louis.
| was present at 1.16 a. m. when
Thomas E. Watson was nominated to
run for President of the United
States. | saw Senator Allen arbitrar-
lily adjourn that convention. | heard
your speech against adjournment. I
met you in tho evening after Mr.
Bryon was nomina ted. It was then
I asked you, at the Grand Restau-
rant, what this rliXup ment. You as
sured me that Mr.. SeWell would be
taken off and our ticket would be-
Bryan and Watson. A ticket that all
possible opposition could not beat.
l asked you for your assurance and
you told me there was an agreement
with the Democrats to that effect.
What followed is too lamentable and
disappointing to refer to.
l will simply say, however, I be-
lieve that the cause of the common
Century by that agreement not being
carried out.
With all our wrangling during that
campaign it would have taken only
10000 votes placed in Kentucky,
Washington, Indiana, and California
to have elected Bryan.
1t seemed that this defeat damp
of v1Iro
population and they went to sleep
and have been practically sleeping
for twenty years.

souri,. | took my family Of five, in
Guiding my wife, to Kirksville, Mis-
souri,. | entered the American School
of Osteopathy, took treatment, re-
gained my health, moved to Column
bia, and have been practicing Osteo-
pathy in this good Missouri town of
10000 for fourteen years. l have
put three Of my children through the
University, two boys and girl. The
oldest boy was in the military depart
ment for six years, and was appointed
q captain by Governor Folk. He is
now practicing Law in Pawnee, Okla
homa. From the way he writes me,
he is ready to go to war at the drop
Of the hat, (Teddy's hat.)
The next boy took four years of
Military training and is now with the
Governor Cary Land Company, Of
wyoming, as their Civil Engineer.
The youngest boy has just entered
the University. He is in the Military
department for four years. He is
taking agriculture as a side line, [
suppose. The two older boys write
this brother to stick close to the
military. His country may soon need
his services.

and Kansas Universities, l saw 500
university boys in Kaki uniform

 Quite welcome little surprise Is awaiting some of the property own CTS in the environs of Nome. City Attorney O'Neill and City Clerk Grimm, who is ex officio assessor, will be the providers of this sur prise. Owing to the statute Of the first legislature whose tax law is now the guiding star of all muni- cipal assessors and collectors all property real and personal within the city limits is taxable. So far so good. The question is then where are the city limits. Hereto tofore collections of the taxes have only been made within the patenr of the towrsite trustee, about nile square. By a decision of Judge Moves in response to petition for incorporation by Geise ct al (some four hundred signed the petitlon) Nome city limits are about three miles sIuare and take in the pa tented claims on Dry creek, the Bourbon power plant, the Peoples Laundry, the Associated Oil tanks and other properties which have been paying nary cent up to this. The Industrial Worker got wind ot this discovery and interviewed both MT. O'Neill and MT. Grimm found that it was the truth and nothing but the truth.
