Hon. Phil Campbell, past,
present but not future member oi
congress from this district, paid
his bi-yearly visit to Baxter
Springs Monday afternoon and
delivered his regulation speech.
With hin came 4 number of
county candidates headed by the
drum corps that has been the
feature this campaign Of the Re-
publican canvass. The Demo
Gratis stepped aside, the Prohibi-
tionists were quiet and only 4
Socialist was heard now and
then as II In protest to the usur.
patton bY their political oppon-
ents of the attention Of the public.
II was Republican day in
Baxter, the drum corps made a
heap of noise while the genial
candidate circulated up and down
the street with the glad iiand of
a schooled politician and a
natural good fellow. The ladies
paraded, fully two dozen of them,
wearing badges bearing the
words, "Women's Republican
Club of Baxter Springs" Hand
bills were freely circulated an
nouncing a speech in the opera
house at 3 O'Clock and when
"Our Phil" mounted the platform
he was greeted BY 4 crowd of
fully $50 people, with men and
women about equally divided.
The pshers too, did their part
we'll for they cleverly distributed
the people one in every other
seat so that they extended we'll
to the rear and gave the impress
sion of 4 full house. At that the
audience was larger than any
other speaker has had here in
the campaign so far. 1t isn't
much of a year for the campaign
spellbinder.
The speaker had the bearing
and delivery of a veteran politi-
clan He was strong on the sob
stuff for the dear ''peepul," but
avoided personal abuse. The
tariff was his main theme, but
he told nothing new, just the
some old con talk. A good poll.
tician never springs anything
new. He knows his faithful !
listeners will nudge one another
and smile over some sally they
have heard oft before but he
isn't sure. about how they will
take a new idea.
Congressman Campbell is clever
and if the people want Hughes
for president they had better vote
for Campbell; but anyone who
votes for Wilson will make a
mistake to vote for Campbell
since he is on record as having
in the past used every means in
his power to obstruct the work
of the present administration.

This is the first opportunity
the women of Kansas have had
to vote at 4 presidential election,
though they have been voting for
city and school officials for many
years. The registration shows q
lively interest in the matter on
the part Of. Baxter women, and
the interest here is no greater
than elsewhere in the state. II
introduces a very unknown factor
which may play havoc with some
of the sanguine expectations of
the Hnghes supporters. Women
do not take kindly to warfare,
they know that President Wilson
is striving TO maintain peace;
they do not know what Hughes
would do. By his utterances
they have reason to fear 4 break
with Germany or some other
European nation. So despite the
leaning of their husbands women
are very likely to vote strongly
for Wilson.
Those who neglected to register
have lest the opportunity to vote;
that 10 If they, sat around at
home and were too indifferent to
60 and have their names recorded.
But those who were out of town
during the period for registration
will be permitted to swear in their
votes.
Any who are registered and
are obliged to be away from home
on election day may have a vote
cast for them by sending their
choice of candidates to the city
clerk by mail and accompanying
the ticket with an explanation.
This law was recently passed in
this state for the benefit particul-
arly of travelling men.
Figuring the population of
Baxter Springs on a basis of two
and a half times the registration
would show about $500 people,
which is probably pretty close
estimate. Multiplying the male
registration by FIVE which is the
ratio usually used would show a
population of 2,610.

estimable value. Then the mental
sphere is peculiarly sensitive TO every
thing. The sight OF a tiny new frond
curled ever so tightly and carefully
and growing and developing day by
day catches the attention OF the chill
dren, and they come to watch Il
through the various stages Of growth
TIL one day, lol It's complete self a
perfect leaf, is revealed to their men
tai vision and their souls exult. They
have beheld a miracle.-Fannie

Why soils Get Dry.

Most partly rundown soils have lost
much OF the organic matter they had
originally. The growing OF wheat and
corn uses up the soil humus at a rapid
rate. and so the time comes when a
severe drought destroys the plants on a
soil that does not hold the moisture to
the extent that It formerly did. Then
the plants die. and the farmer blames
the dry weather.
