FARMERS MUST PAY,

Hon. James Wilson, who enjoys
the record of having been secretary
Of agriculture longer than any other
man in the history of the nation, has
issued a statement in which he in
sists that "the farmer must pay the
freight"
Mr.. Wilson points out that the
farmer is the largest shipper in the
country and that obviously the in
creased cost Of operating railroads re-
sulting from the Wilson-Adamson
wage increase law, must simply place
an additional burden on the farmer
He says that the farmers are just
and even liberal and that if, on thor
ough investigation, it has been found
that certain railway men we're re-
ceiving insufficient pay to enable
them to live decently and to support
and educate their families, the farmer
would not have objected to paying his
share of the increased cost of ship
ping, but that the farmer regards
it as highly unreasonable to ask him
to stand for increased freight rates,
brought about by a material increase
of pay to the men who are already
the best paid among railway employ
es, an increase in which so many even
harder working employees of the rail-
roads have no share.

Sundburg. Striking sentences from
his keynote address are as follows:
No president since the days of
Jackson has so sought to dominate
congress and surrogate it to his will
and to dictate the legislative policy
of the country as Wilson. .,.
His first purpose was to uproot
and destroy the system of tariff pro-
lection and to substitute therefore q
so-called free trade or tariff on rev.
enue only" system. M
The European war has smothered
the great delinquencies and short
comings of the Democratic party.
Had it not been for the war our
northern farmers would have sus-
tanned losses by the million from the
effects of the Underwood law.
The claim that President Wilson
has kept us out of war with the bel
Iigerents of Europe is far-fetched and
ludicrous.
| Our prosperity and our abundance
of money has come from our immense
exports and the high prices resulting
from the European war, and not from
any Democratic legislation.
The new federal reserve system
has proved itself to be a most expen-
sive one-it was the product of a
partisan spirit.

ROOSEVELT TALKS.

Theodore Roosevelt at Battle
Creek, Mich, Saturday in the first of
his new series of "skin 'em alive"
speeches termed President Wilson "a
man of furtive and shifting political
maneuvers," one who helped to Sub
stitute policy of craven surrender
to whichever side has the superiority
in brutal force" and directly charged
that the president was 'cowed by the
big labor leaders" as he was by Mex
leo and Germany. Red hot shots
from T. RS attack are as follows:
"Mr. Wilson has a positive genius
for striking when the iron is cold
and fearing to strike when the iron
is hot"
1--WE have seen few things more
discreditable to our representatives
and more omnibus for the future of
our nation than the spectacle of the
president and congress being required
to pass a certain bill, before a GER
tain hour, at the dictation of GER
tain men who sat in the gallery with
their watches in their hands,"
II believe in labor unions. But I
believe first and foremost in liberty
and justice obtained through the
union to which all of us belong"
II shall do everything in my power
for the workingman except what is
wrong"
IF our people follow the president,
who has kept them in the easy path
of temporary comfort at the sacrifice
of national honor and of the immu-
table principles of Righteousness,
then as people we shall lose all moral
greatness in the present, and most
assuredly we shall see this loss fol-
lowed by the loss of material great
ness in the future"
"Repudiate Mr.. Wilson because
only by so doing can we save America
from that faint of gross selfishness
and cowardice which we owe to Mr..
Wilson's substitution of adrOit elO-
cution for straightforward action. "
LAS a people, we need the sterner
virtues even more than we need the
softer virtues"

The Elevator Boy Protests.

Did you ever stop to consider the
feelings of an elevator boy in an Of
fee building? "How'd you like to spend
your days in a cage, goin' up. comin
down, same bad air, same old shafts
snppin' by, never nothinr to see? How
dye like it on a sunny day when you
were dyin' to play baseball?" says the
elevator boy.
II never thought about it at ALL" the.
passenger answered.
''Well, I have. I thought about it
most Of the time fer four years. Even
the fellows in Sing Sing gets out some
times, but we don't. When I get to
feelin' can't stand it, I think of block
after block Of Office buildings in this

SIRIUS AND THE DOG DAYS.
Time Has Worn Away tho Link 1ha,
Bound Them Together.

Time Has Worn Away tho Link That
Bound Them Together.
The dog days, when excessive heat
is supposed to prevail, begin July 8,
according to the ancient reckoning, and
continue to Aug. II. All sorts of tradi-
tons and superstitions are connected
with this period, and various dates are
also given.
In some sections the dog days are
said to begin on July "a and to end on
Aug. "a, while still others attribute the
malevolent influence Of the dog star
upon the earth to the period from Aug
4 to Sept. 4, in accordance with the an
cient Egyptian reckoning.
AS a matter. Of fact, the rising Of the
dog star, CAMS Majors or Sirius, has
nothing to do with the affair at all
The rising of that star has been so &C.
CELEBRATED by the procession Of the equi-
noxes during the passage of more than
1900 years that the corresponding con-
ditiOnS for the ancient dog days no
longer exist.
In ancient times in the ATTITUDES Of
the Mediterranean the period of great
est heat nearly corresponded with that
time in which the dog star rose at the
same time with the sun. To this con-
junction all antiquity and all the later
followers Of judicial astrology attrib-
uted malignant influence.
Among the modern notions regarding
the dog days is the absurd belief that it
is during this period that dogs are most
likely to 60 mad.-St. Louis Post-Dis-
patch.

Napier Family Of Outlaws
From Kentucky, Had Oper-

Many Years.
SENT TO PENITENT1ARY
Charged With Collecting insurance on
Horses at High Valuation,
Which They Killed
Themselves.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service ]
OTTUMWA, Iowa, Sept. 23.--When
Mrs. Lilly Lewis of Sewal pleaded
guilty in federal court at Creston
Friday to charge Of using the mails
to defraud and was sentenced to two
years, federal officials were satisfied
they had broken up one Of the best
organized gangs of defrauders ever
working in this part of the state.
Grant S. Napier, alias j. D. Lewis,
her husband, Anna Morgan, alias
Anna Napier, and Oscar Napier, alias
o. K. Wilson, were also indicted, bus
are still at large.
According to government officers,
the gang operated in the middle west
for nine years, collecting insurance
for the death of horses which they
killed themselves after an excessive
appraisal had been made by innocent
persons. 1t is claimed the gang
mulcted the insurance companies out
of thousands of dollars and realized
handsomely in other frauds.
The Napier family originated in
Kentucky and came to Ottumwa
twenty-five years ago. They were
outlaws and out of the family, four
teen members have served time in
the penitentiary.
Napier blackmailed Iowa and Mis-
souri, farmers for several thousand
dollars in the past two years.

BAD LITTLE BOY MAY GET
CHANCE TO START ALL OVER

killed me-"
Nearly every page of the history of
Willie's life is thriller. Neighpors
say he has been bad boy, from the
day he took his first step. Five years
ago he attempted to place younger
sister in a bake oven and roast her.
When the boy was arrested -or -
mothers murder this little girl begged
the officers for a knife.
Please give me knife, she
pleaded. "rll cut his head OF and
avenge my mother"
. These same neighbors said Willie's
favorite pastime was dissecting cats
and many . neighborhood feline met
its fate at the hands OF the little
Zimmer boy. He was q leader In any
mischievous undertaking the younger
element undertook.
Since his arrest. Willie has been In
different Until today he had never
expressed sorrow for his deed.
I'm sorry killed my mother" he
said today, "but she tried to beat me
and that's why I killed her"
Local club women contend the boy
hasn't had the proper care in his early
days, which deprived him Of an even
break in his battle of life. With pro-
per environments they hope to make
a man CT the little fellow. Present
plans call for a five or six year course
in some institution other than penal
The district attorney said such &C
ton would be acceptable to him and
all prosecution plans probably will be
dropped In . few days.
