on the party platform: 1T (the
Democratic party) has, among
other achievements, revised the

sentatives of the American peo-
pie freedom of speech and of ac-

perfecting remedial legislation. "

Tie Democrats are in a major

They believe in raising revenue
by applying internal tax IS againS t

tional duties might in some way
give protection to American ir-
dustries. They have the rigAt to
their belief. They have the po-
wer to enact it into law. They
passed the present law, which
expires on the 31St of this molth,
somewhat in haste, obtaining
votes on the Democratic side Of
the House by the plea that it was
only for d short time, and that
while it might contain inconsist

by that method, what is now
proposed? Well. there is more
nan one way of skinning a cat.
Instead Of coming into the House
and proposing to extend eyeh
this bad law until it could be re,
vised, they propose to extend it
over the next presidential elec-

COATS TO PRISON
Government Sends Herd of 100
to Clear Land.
Young AngOras Working on $50
Acres of Brush.

Leavenworth, Kan, Nov. 4.-The
largest consignment of prisoners ever
received at the federal\ penitentiary at
one time came this week from Kansas
City in freight cars. sentenced to re-
main until they have cleared $50
acres of timber land of underbrush.
They are young angora goats, 12O In
Der, which the government has
purchased as an addition to the
prisons live stock department.
A few months ago the war depart
ment authorized a number of sheep
to be herded on the military reser-
walton for the same purpose.
The purchase of the goats, said
Warden T. w. Morgan, is but a pre-
paratory step to a great increase in
the penitentiary dairy herd The
prison reservation includes $50 acres
of hillside timber land, located west
of the farm, along the Salt Creek VAL
ley road. It has never been made use
of to any great extent. few COWS
have been herded- there at times, and
hog farm.
Goats to Clear Land.
The underbrush is SO heavy that it
is impracticable to use the land as a
pasture AS a part of his plan to in
crease the prison herd of milk cows,
Warden Morgan decided to expert
ment with the goats in clearing the
unQoTSTOWIn. w men IIllS Is accom-
plished the land will be put in blue
grass and used as the regular peni-
Tertiary pasture.
1t is planned to let the present herd
of So cows naturally increase, by saw
ing all heifer calves, until it mum bers
a hundred or more. Milk, butter and
other products from a dairy of this
size could be profitably used at the
penitentiary. Better food could be
supplied the men, and probably it
would save the government from buy
ing other food from contractors.
VIII Pay Their Way.
| The goats are expected to pay
their way" Their wool will be worth
considerable next spring, and the
lambs will also prove a valuable prod
uct. They will either be sold or used
in the prison dining room.
This move for an increased dairy
herd is along the general lines of
Warden Morgan's farm policy He
has been gradually increasing the out

and will continue to do so. 1t fur

ers, supplies fresh, wholesome food
for the penitentiary table, and saves

CONNOLLY IN LINCOLN COUNTY
Sixth District Candidate Closing Cam
paign With Rousing Meetings.

Lincoln, Kan, Nov. 4.-Congress-
man Connolly of the Big Sixth district
is closing his campaign in a rousing
manner. He is having big crowds ev-
erywhere. In Lincoln county Wednes-
day he spoke to large crowds in Ber-
nard, Lincoln, Vesper, Denmark and
Sylvan Grove. In Lincoln the opera
house was filled to capacity in spite
of the fact that he spoke here at 1870
in the afternoon and it was a difficult
matter for the ladies to get out at that
time. But they seemed to manage
some way as nearly half the crowd
were women. His speech was well
received and he met many hearty
cheers. The people were with him.
Farmers from all parts of the county
were here and met Mr.. Connolly after
the speaking.
Mr. Connelly's prospects for re-
election by an increased majority are
splendid. He is meeting many Re-
publicans everywhere who pledge him
their support. He will no doubt carry
Lincoln county by a fair margin.
At Barnard he spoke at IL o'clock
in the morning and had the largest
crowd that was given any political
speaker for several years. This was
the opinion of men who have been
actively in politics in this county for
the past fourteen years.

NEW SYSTEM AT HAYS NORMAL.
Farm Dinner Bell Used to Call Stu
dents to Classes.

Hays. Kan, Nov borrowing a
farm dinner bell with which to call
classes together, the journalism class
of the Fort Hays Kansas Normal
school claims to have solved the prob
lem of an adequate bell system for
the time being. The members of the
class undertook to ring the bell upon
a schedule furnished by the registrar,
in whose charge the bell system has
been placed prior to this time. A
guard surrounds the ilnprovised bell
tower to prevent meddling, and to in
sure the correct ringing of the bell.
The journalism class, having charge
of the Leader, the school paper, have
been agitating the bell question for
some time, but owing to financial cir
cumstances, a new system could not
| be provided. 1t is not known what
effect the new system of calling classes
will have upon class work, but ac-
cording to computations made by sew
eral students, the old system caused
the student body to lose $4,000;
| figuring a students time worth So per
day, a rating given by certain well
! known persons.
The new system will undoubtedly
prove success, and has the sanction
of both students and faculty, to whom
the event was a complete surprise.

doubly apparent when one realizes
that it is less expensive to be careful
than careless even tho no fire occurs.
Take for instance a stove. A cheap
stove that is too small to heat the
room is always becoming overheated
and starting a fire. But the cheap
stove is expensive in other ways. 1t
takes far more coal to heat a room
with a small stove than with large
one. Overheating the small stove
burns it out in a little while so that
one big stove will outlast two small
ones.
If you are about to buy new stove
be wise and buy one that is big
enough. You will save more than the
difference in the cost before the first
winter is over. And think of the add

bells six-cylinder motor car which was

the Maize State bank Wednesday at
noon was abandoned on the outskirts
of Enid, Okla, ninety-seven miles
southwest.
The bank robbers arrived in Enid
in sufficient time to catch south
bound Rock Island train for Texas and
discovery of this fact left the pursuit
at a momentary standstill. News of
the finding of the car stopped plans of
a detective agency acting for the
American Bankers association to or
ganize a search of hills below Bartles-
vile, Okla, which seemed to be the
destination of the fleeing men.
Two reports, one that the car had
been seen in Sedan, Kan, and the
other that it was in Dewey, Okla, at
midnight, had served to throw the
pursuit entirely off. Both places are
considerably east of the route taken by
the bank robbers.

In times like this no man can afford
