The U. S. secret service has recently
taken possession OF a million rounds of
ammunition on it's way into Mexico.
Please note the word recently" This
watchful waiting policy extending
over a period of more than three
years permitted unknown Quantities
OF ammunition to go into Mexico for
use against the peace and stability OF
government in that country and
against the safety OF Americans both
north and south OF the boundary. And
we are asked to vote approval OF the
watchful waiting policy.

ONION DIGGERS DEFEAT
DELTA ON THEIR GROUNDS

Olathe won. On Wednesday after
noon, as announced, the third game
was played between the teams of Del
ia and Olathe, at which time our boys
laid down the bat to our neighbors;
and while the Olathe boys are always
good loosers, and gentlemen, every
one of them, we claim the same for
our boys and cheerfully give to Olethe
the spoils of war.
The day was delightful and every
thing propitious for good game and
inasumch as we have already won
two games, it only adds zest to the
spirit of good sportsmanship to lose
once in a while.
Davis pitched the first seven innings
for Olathe, Joe Mills catching, but was
replaced by Mills in the eighth inning
Eberhardt and Miller were Delta's uat-
teries.
Shorty Donovan and First Base
Anheir were imported from Montrose
to strengthen the Olathe team, and
while part of the success OF the neigh
bors may be attributed to their assis-
tance, it is noted that Eberhardt struck
out both Donovan and Anheir, as well
as Loper in the seventh inning.

Owing to some complaint being
raised on the number OF games the
Delta team has won and lost, by agree

Thus 1t will be noticed that Delta has
lost three games and won eight. This
change was made owing to the fact
that the Big Six are playing only these
teams and SO reporting the standing

FARMERS TAKE NOTE.

You may have noted Hughes's VetOes
while Governor Of important agricul-
tural appropriations. But, if so, pond
or them again and contrast them with
Woodrow Wilson's record of progress
sive achievement in the farmers behalf.
Some of the appropriations killed by
Governor Hughes were these:
For Farmers Institute work, $4,000.
For a specialist to fight insect pests,
$4,000.
Fir a specialist TORCHES ETAOI SH
For dissemination of information
concerning cheap farms to be had in
New York State, $4,000.
For improving New York State Col
lege of Agriculture, $4,000.
For enlargement of State Veterinary
College, $4,000.
For maintaining a department of
veterinary science in the Satte Uni
versity, $4,000.
For investigation and eXtermina-
ton of contagious diseases of plants
etc, $1,000.
What would the farmers of the Unit
ed States say of and do to President
of the United States who struck such
items-and there are many of them

ricultural appropriation bill passed an

REPUBLICAN WEAKNESS.

Never before in the history OF
American politics has the Republican
party been so hard pressed for a plau-
sible tissue" The fly in the Repub-
lican ointment, obviously indicated by
Republican editorial lament the coun-
try over, is that the case of President
Wilson rests not upon theory, ex-
cusGs or promises, BAT upon the rock
bcttCm of &C Drpl:. he'd fact.
The Chicago "Tribune' in a con-
Ispicuously double-edged editorial
argument for former Supreme Justice
Hughes headed The Case of Presi-
dent Wilson," indicates the perplexity
of organized Republicanism in its vain
search for u nut cracker which will
hold without slipping and the per-
turbed state of the collective Repub-
lican mind in its highly reluctant and
forced retreat before Democratic facts
and logic In its groupings for valid
argument against President Wilson
the "Tribune's" editorial includes
among others, the following significant
paragraphs which require no labored
Interpretation to make clear the in
stability of the Republican cause tC
the ordinary I'm baised mind.
president Wilson's speech Of &C
iceptance is the clear statement OF
points of Democratic strength eX-
pected of him. 1t is an effective pre-
sentation of the faces of facts upon
which the Democracy wants the light
to shine. 1t is an argument that any
sensible Republican knows will have
to be reckoned with.
The opposition has not yet put the
president on the defensive. In his
speech he is not defending a record
He chronicles and explains it, not so
much in answer to attack as for the
information of the nation"
Emanating as it does, from an ag-
excessively Republican source, the
foregoing preface to an argument for
Hughes, constitutes a remarkable rec
ognition of Democratic strength, and
an equally remarkable admission of
Republican weakness, notwithstanding
the desperate fault-finding of Candi-
date Hughes. Well may the Repub-
lican campaigners cry:

THE FATHER OF THE PARCELS
POST

Valiant and voluble. if somewhat
pathetic, are the efforts being made to
rob the Hon. David John Lewis of the
title Father of the Parcels Post"
Possibly there is a slight inaccuracy
in the term. Doubtless a puristic ex-
pert in the Technology Of metaphori-
cal lineal and collateral consanguinity
could find some technical objection to
tn" application of it to David John.
Perhaps he is not exactly the father
OF the parcels post, but only the step
father Or the adopted father, or per-
haps even only an uncle But that he
took The child when it was small and
puny and afflicted with infantile Daral-
ysis and by his wise and constant care
and the r0urishment which he gave it
brought it 0 its present state of sturdy
health cannot be disputed
Four years ago. almost to a day,
THE sun made this observation:
Although the subject of a parcels
!,
at times when both the House and
the Senate, and the Presidency too,
were in the hands of the Republic
cans, no bill was ever passed until
this year.
The one man who by his knoWl-
edge ard his energy did more to
force the issue this year than any
other vas a Democrat-and none
other than our own David J.
Lewis.
We commit the improperly of quot
ing from ourselves in order to show that
this opinion is not improvised now for
the purposes of the present Senatorial
campaign. But this is the real basis
of Mr.. Lewis claims to relationship
with the parcels post. Since the time
referred to Mr.. Lewis has been as en-
ergetic and useful in securing the ex-
tension of the system as he was origi-
nally in helping to frame and secure
the adoption of the measure.
The Maryland voters are not going
to split hairs over phraseology. They
know the value of MIR. Lewis parcel
post work. A simple and inherently
accurate way of expressing it is to
call him the Father of the system
From Baltimore Sun.
