Get the Farmers Permission

Several farmers came to the Re
flector office today and wanted a
protest made against the putting up
of tin signs by merchants on their
fences and posts. They say it is
done without their consent and that
they blow into tie fields causing
them both damage and annoyance
in cutting alfalfa, corn, etc.
The owners permission should
at least be procured before the
signs are put up.

CROWDED HOUSE ATTENDED,
TABERNACLE DEDICATION
tFrom Mondays DailyI


An audience that packed the
building attended the dedication of
the tabernacle last night. Dr. -Blay-
ney delivered the sermon and each
minister added few appropriate
words. A chorus OF one hundred and
fifty voices has been organized al
ready and it is expected that more
will be added.
Many people were turned away
from the building last night and it
may be necessary to add more room
to accommodate the many people
who are expected to attend the reg
ular meetings.
Tomorrow is prayer day for the
revival and special scripture will
be read in homes and neighborhood
meetings.
Work is not quite finished on the
building yet and every man who
can do so is asked to be ready for
work at the tabernacle tomorrow

Rev. Ostrom and his assistants
will be here Thursday and the big
revival will start in earnest.

By George AIDE

This year am going to vote for
Charles Evans Hughes as against
Woodrow Wilson for a good many
reasons. Four years ago ! was a
Progressive. 1t is true that my en-
thusiasm for some of the planks in
the Progressive platform was so
moderate that / had no trouble in
controlling it. / was not scared to
death by the proposals made in the
platform, as some of Jour Republi-
can friends seemed to be, but had
my reasonable doubts.
/ liked the spirit and makeup
and leadership Of the Progressive
party and tried to be loyal to the
organization two years ago, but it
was evident, even then, that the
very structure OF the party was be-
ginning to crumble. The Progressive
party had to keep growing or go
out of business. The logic of events
restored the Republican party to its
time-honored place as principal cor
rector of Democratic mismanage-
ment.
The Progressives must not figure
that they have made a losing fight
Why, even the Democrats are now
talking tariff commission (with a
hybrid sort of protection as an in
cidental and unavoidable side-issuel
and they have passed child labor
law which is poor imitation Of
the one that will be passed very
soon And the Republicans have
nominated for president a candidate
who was simply made to order for
the progressive element.

good citizen this year is to join the
movement to change Washington

tory. For one, I have had enough

right, but he was brought up on a
college campus. He was accustomed.
for years, to be dogmatic and orac-
ular before a lot of college boys
who couldn't talk back. He finally
came to believe that whenever he
said thing, 1t was so.
Accordingly, when a Tampico
crisis or a Lusitania crisis or a
railway strike crisis confronted the
good doctor, he didn't tackle 1t ac-
cording to the methods of old-fash-
ioned statesmen, brought up in the
school of hard knocks.
No, he collected lot Of pretty
adjectiyes, symmetrical phrases,
choice metaphors and high-grade
SMILES and mixed them in a silver
bowl with frankincense and myrrh
and maple sugar and touched off
the whole thing and then, as the
smoke arose, he sat back and saw
things in the smoke,
They say he has vision He has
so much vision, he sees things that
amt.
He is a perfectly nice man who
believes he can solve problems by
talking about them.
When recall what has happened
to this country during the past three
years, pity all the good men who
are sitting around benumbed by
repeated insults and bewildered to
learn that their native land is re-
garded by the rest OF the world as
a joke, but the large share Of my
pity is reserved for the poor his
torian of fifty years from now who
will have to explain away our
shame so that school children will
believe 1t.
FINALLY, / am back in the Repub-
lican camp and working for Repub-
lican success this year because
believe the Republican party, since
the recent house-cleaning and read
justment of internal control, is
much better qualified than the DEM
ocratic party to take charge of gov
ernmental affairs and direct them
sanely and safely. l have not sur
rendered any former beliefs that I
am reasonably sure that the world
is going to get better every year in
stead Of relapsing to the bow-wows.
When man he's just one round
of ammunition to shoot, he can't
afford to stand ofe ON hillside and
shoot into the air. Progressiyes
must recognize The fact that this
year there are only two contending
parties and every voter must either
make a quick choice or retire to
the deep woods This is no time for
grieving over what might have been.
The thing for every Progressive to
do is to look pleased and vote for

Sees National Suffrage
"Woman-power in politics is soon
to support man-power, in every
part of the United States. This
means better and stronger govern
ment, quiclening of progress and
a wiping out of old evils which for
a long time have needed such a

combination of both sexes can give.

honest doubt which timid souls may
have entertained about the femin

Accepted Ney Duties
"You accepted the new duties of
citizenship more readily and in
larger number than anyone dream
ed of your doing. Your votes upset
the prediction of the pessimistic
political forecasters. But more inn
portant than that, you showed inde-
pendence of thought, freedom from
prejudice, a disdain of claptrap and
an abhorrence of mudslinging and
political trickery. The woman vote
IN Kansas at the last general cleo
ton proved we are to see great
moral quickening in state and ma
tfon as a result of the spread of
woman suffrage. And when the wo
men of America are granted the
voting privileges, as I hope they
soon will be, we shall bury the
liquor traffic in the nation beneath
an avalanche of votes, deeper than
the foundations OF the earth.

him at both places. Five hundred
people heard him at Solomon and
an even larger crowd at Chapman.

From Tuesdays paily.l

The first big Republican meeting
of the week was held at Hope last
night and the town was out in full
force to hear the candidates. Many
of the county officers and candi-
dates are former Hope people and
everyone was out to hear his friend
on the stump. Hope has probably
furnished more county Republican
officers than any other town in the
county and there is little fear but
that there will be big majority
from that section.
Mrs. C. A. Kimball and Fred
Knapp were the principal speakers
of the evening ard both were re-
ceived with applause. W. H. Myers,
candidate for state senator, was
also present and spoke a few words
for the entire ticket
Auto loads of candidates and en-
thusiastic boosters left Abilene
early in the evening and all were
present at one OF the most rous-
ing meetings of the county cam
paign.
The music furnished by the lad
les quartet was up to the usual
standard and was encored repeat
edly.
Mrs. Kimball made a deep ip-
preston on the audience. She is a
forceful speaker and carries con-
viction with every word. She
brought a greeting to the women
of this county from her home coun-
ty, Riley, and said that the women
there were almost a union for
Charles NJ. Harger for congress and
that his majority in Riley county
would be from 1900 to 1000, She
also urged the election of the en-
tire Republican county ticket.

LET me say just word mere III
regard to the congressional situa-
ton in the Fifth district. Last week
| visited 20 counties in the Sixth
and Seventh congressional districts
and the sentiment l found there
convinces me that Kansas will give
Charles f. Hughes a splendid ma
iority for presiden; on November 4.
The Republican party in Kansas IS
an enthusiastic, fiabting unit behind
the ticket from Hughes right down
the line. The splendid victory in
Maine adds strength to the convic-
ton that the same situation holds
throughout the nation. The people
are tired of the weak, vacillating
and unsuccessful efforts of the
Democrats to handle the big job OF
running this government. They want
Republican stability and the conf
dence which goes Hith a Republican
administration. They see in Charles
z. Hughes the big. broad construc-
tive statesman necessary to meet
souarely and successfully the prob
lels which confront the nation.
Governor Hughes stands four-square
for progressive. constructive nation
al legislation. a protective tariff,
economy in national expenditures
and real efficiency in government.
His past record attests the fact that
he will fight to accomplish these
things. Bet his efforts in that di-
rection will be for naught if he is
handicapped by a Democratic con-
gress. No Republican should vote
for Mr.. Hughes in order to assure
stability in our national standing at
home and abroad and at the same
slime vote for a Democratic congress-

satisfaction that there were thou

explained.
In closing Governor Capper urged
support for all Fifth district Re-
publican candidates and said that in
Kansas all signs pointed toward the

of Verdun witnessed a great artillery
battle from dawn to sunset yesterday
For nearly week the Germans
have been shelling Hill SO4, the key
stone Of the French outer defenses IN
this region, day and night. Steady
streams of shells have been playing
upon the slopes and submits, wreck

the French back upon the first per-
manent fortifcations OF Verdun, near
