HAYS IS VERY MUCH ASLEEP. .
Gatherers Of News, for Home Papers
and Local Representative OF the
Big C;tz DaiIies are Not Givea
MacE Consideration by
Citizens.
Hays Should be on Hap.
(BY P. cAsFAR HARvEY.)

The other day q reporter for the most
powerful daily newspaper N the middle
West visited Hays. Everywhere he
was shown naked courtesy and con-
sideration. 1t was due him not only
because of his own personal qualities
but also because of the great newspa-
per which he represented. His next
assignment made it imperative that he
spend but four hours here. With but
one reception every man of Hays whom
= wished to see was instantly acces-
sible All this was as it should be- It
bespoke the hospitality of the town and
it is not especially to its credit that the
reporter was shown this attention.
But suppose that the Hays represen-
tative of that great newspaper had
tried to run down the information in
the time. 1t would have been another
story. Yet his time is as valuable to
him. He Is here every day and the
telegraph desk of that same paper sees
his copy with regularity.
Again, suppose that the editors of
the two Hays papers has wanted that
same information and news. They
would not have received as much con
sideration, perhaps, as the special rep
resentative.
This is not as it should be. Everyone,
you know believes that he could run
the home paper much better than the
editor. That's your privilege as an
American citizen.
However, the real good to the town
comes from the hearty support which
it receives from its own home papers.
They exist by being for the town. The
outside so-called "write-up" is worth
while, but is only of passing import
ance compared with the steady stream
of news flowing from the pages of the
local papers or from the efforts of the
representative of the outside press.
Citizens of Hays complain about the
home papers not having all the news,
yet they do all they can to make it
hard to get. Some way or other Hays
pepole seem to think that newspaper
man knows the news without anyone
telling him. A newspaper man does
have six senses, but not seven Hays
would appear much more frequently in
the outside press of cities like, Chicago,
Kansas City, Topeka, Salina, Hutchin-
son, Wichita, and Great Bend, II the
people of the town and the faculty OF
the Normal school were not so,-weJl
something. The representativ Of
papers does not send in all that peop!s
might think should be sent in. He Is
responsiblejfrst of all to his papers. He
thinks in terms Of their requirements.
However, much news of Hays, never
gets into even the local lpapTs, because,
it is taken for granted that the news
paper folks know about it anyway.
They don't always, at any rate.

And blythe way. while we think Of it,
the Salina Journal is one of our most
priced daily exchanges. AS a paper that
mirrors the every day doings of West
ern Kansas, it is valuable and should be
patronized by the farmers of the west
ern counties as well as by the business
men.

BALTIMORE TO VOTE
ON THE SALOON ISSUE

Baltimore. Nd, Nov. among the
voters of Baltimore the presidential and
senatorial contests have almost been
lost sight of in the keen interest mani
tested in the referendum vote that is
to be taken on the prohibition question.
There are more than 1900 saloons and
hotel bars in Baltimore and the city's
revenue from liquor sources is more
than $1,000,000. Twenty of the 70
counties in Maryland are already
wholly or partially dry. Tuesday the
voters of the remaining three counties,
in which are located the largest cities
of the state, will vote on the question.
So far as Baltimore is concerned the
betting odds are in favor Of wet vic
tory, to 1. The liquor Interest,", how
ever, do not intend to become the vic
tins of over-confidencc, as is evidence
ed by the fact that those interested in
the traffic are pursuing a vigorous and
expensive campaign to defeat the pro-
posal for prohibition.

Plummer has just ridden up on his
big sorrel horse. He generally comes
on horseback with his orderly decor
ously in the rear. They alight and
the orderly mounts the generals horse
and his own follows back to camp.
About 10 o'clock beautiful car
with the generals flag with its one
star comes and is held here for him.
The general is a fine looking gray
haired man with a pompous manner
that strikes terror to his interiors.
1t is told that when he rides down
the boundary line and asks the guard
what orders they have received, they
quail and drop their guns and reply,
"Ain't got none" AS he sits on the
other end of this long balcony at his
table surrounded by other officers he
has a stern and concentrated look on
his face. When he calls some colonel
ON the carpet for an interview ms
questions and commands are shot out
in an awe inspiring manner and the
party of the second part generally fills
in with Yes, sir" and salutes. But
when he sits idly there looking at lie
from another angle his face is very
pleasant.
The veranda is divided by an iron
railing with a sort of stile OF four
steps going over it, When the starr
officers are at leisure they come on
the citizens side and chat with us.

Last night they gave a Halloween
masquerade. The costumes were either
