From Kansas

Editor Register thought l would
write to the paper and tell the people
how this part of the worlds. Kansas
is sure a great State for wheat. All
that you can see is wheat and jack
rabbits as big as our Missouri mules.
There are six of us here from Iron
county: E. B. button, Ralph, High
ley, John Imboden, Lewis Akers,
Mr.. Windell and myself.
We are about 500 miles southwest
of Kansas City in Ford county, with
Dodge City the county seat. Dodge
City is where the time changes. l
was over to Dodge City last FIR iday
two weeks ago. 1t is a small city of
about 5000 population. The old Santa
Fe trail makes the center street of
the city where the shorty miners"
went through in the early days. We
are 100 miles from the Colorado lines.
The nights are cool here. You have
to wea coat your every morning ii Il
10 o'clock. The wind sure is something
fierce. They have to lock their wagons
together to keep the wind from blow
ing them off.
They are sure having a fine season
now with plenty of rain. Everything
looks fine.
Wheat harvest is here now and
Ford county has a fine crop. The
west is short on harvest hands and
teams and thrashing machines. The
wages are $500 to So. so for working
with header, and from $500 to S. 90
for stocking. Machine men get five
to six dollars a day. am going to
run a Separator that pays $500 a day,
and an engineers gets 5000 to $500.
Our bunch will help Mr.. VIM. Stuart
harvest-an old friend from Iron
county. He has 400 acres of wheat
to cut and so acres of barley, which
will take fifteen or sixteen days and
then we will go to thrashing.
l would like to see the old IRON
COUNTY REGISTER and be down there
for the Election, but I guess l cant
this time, but hope to be on hand
when the campaign opens this fall.
All you can hear is "Wilson Admin
stration" out here. Kansas people
are praising his administration very
highly.
Well I will close, sending my best
regards to the Editor of the REGISTER
and to the Iron county people. Hope
that my men will make it through all
0. K. in the Primary Election.

LEST We Forget"

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt is a
very emphatic man, and when he
makes a statement he puts SO much
emphasis on it that a good many
people pay more attention to his
oratory than they do to the accuracy
OF his remarks, but every nee in a
while he runs across a Doubling
Thomas who, whether he happens to
live in Missouri or not, has to be
shown. This happened not long ago
in New York City, When he lambasted
President Wilson on account Of his
Mexican policy. Mr.. Roosevelt de-
'clared that during his administration
not d man, woman or child that made
America bis home had lost his life In
Mexico or any other foreign country.
One Of his hearers took the trouble TO

The Globe Democrat insists that the
tariff is the great issue in this cam
paign. 1t wants the voters to under
stand that, if Hughes is elected, the
old standdat Dingley tariff law will be
restored. The CD. knows it is folly
to make Wilson'S foreign policies a
paramount issue. The Republican
party leaders are afraid to put their
finger on a single thing in the conduct
of our foreign affairs and say, ''that
was wrong, it should have been done
this way OF that way; give Hughes
power he and will reverse the Wilson
policy" Democrats challenge them
to do so. Republicans in Congress
have proposed nothing. Democrats
SO challenge them to say they will re-
peal the Underwood tariff act, and the
income tax, the currency law, rural
credits; agricultural extension, andthe
preparedness measures. There is not
a single vulnerable point in either the
foreign or domestic and economic
policies of the Wilson administration
Democrats are ready to go to the bat.

look mp the matter in the files of the
New York Post, and here Is what hap
pened during his administration:
Two Americans were shot in Mexico
on the 22d of July, 1904.
A. L. Sanger was murdered in
Mexico, January 18th, 1905.
The Yaquis Indians in Mexico killed
four Americans January p, 1906.
About the same time several Amer
lean fishermen were jailed in Mexico
without provocation, and American
sailors claimed they were tortured.
In June, 1906, several Americans
were killed at Cananea, and their sur
viving friends demanded that troops
be sent to protect them. The troops
were not sent.
The next time MI. Roosevelt makes
a speech he should refresh mis- mem

way of getting the news regardless Of
censors, and their files are always

THE following is an elegant, high
toned extract from one of the Rev.
VIM. Sundays sermons" enslanged
over the Book of Books and under
the assumed aegis of such an Almighty
as is comprehensive to the s%elt-elect-
ed modern apostles understanding:
"The fool mother that allows a six
teen year old girl to float around town
Joy riding at all hours of the night
with a counterfeit sport with a weak
mind and weaker morals, opens the
door to allow sin, shame and disgrace
to enter her home. But the modern
sutton is wise. 1t is as hard to pass off
a girl that has been paved over by a
different fellow six nights a week
with the light turned low as it is to
fatten sheep on pineapple ice."
One can understand-froma money
gathering point of view-the motive
behind such an ebullition; but that it
can be listened to or quoted with APP
probation by decent, clean-minded
people is another thing. No reputable
paper or self-respecting public speak
er would be guilty of using the gross
and suggestive expressions alleged
to have been vociferated from the
pulpit by this "great evangelist
Advice to mothers ought to be couch
ed in decent terms, and the language
of the slums is not necessary to set
ting forth the snares which too otter
beset youth and innocence.

Superintendent Shupp of the Anti
Saloon League, who has taken the con-
tract of naming the Democratic guber-
Material candidate for Missouri, says
he is a Democrat, but that he regrets
he was a citizen of Ohio during the
Hadley-Cowherd campaign, and was
therefore deprived of the pleasure of
voting for Hadley. This ought to es-
tablish his political status with all
Missouri Democrats, and they should
resent his efforts to dictate to them
whom they should support for Gov
ernor or for any other office .-Boon-
vile Advertiser.

SHUPP, the Anti Saloonist leader,
says three candidates for Governor
have agreed to his proposition to
nullify the referendum. Who are
they? The Democratic candidates for
Governor are Roach, Barker, Lindsey,
Houchin, Atkinson, Painter and Gard
ner. The last named has put himself
on record as a true Democrat. Who,
if any, of the remaining six have
agreed, if elected to carry out Shupp's
outrageous, un-Democratic purpose
to fitch from the people their right tc
pass upon the law which shall govern
them! Speak out in meeting gentle
men! Let the voters know NOW. Have
the courage of your convictions, and
scorn to secure the suffrages of YOU
fellowmen through chicanery, treach'
cry or uncertainty.

IHAvE a ~sneaking liking for poetry
especially for that of the amateur
brand. 1t is free, independent and
unshackled by formal rules. No vain
rhythm or stubborn sense in rhyme
is permitted to dilute its strength,
gushing. as it does, from the over
flowing heart and appealing to the
righteous understanding. The Burk
& Hobbs aggregation has it's attendant
poetess who touches my heart and
awakes my admiration. Here is her
latest effort as given in the Farming
ton News:
The DEVILS at work,
With no time to Turk,
When Steve with a jerk
His silence doth shirk-
SOME preacher is BURKE.
l fully agree with the News cor
respondents ejaculation: tIt was an
inspiration!" Being such, it encourag-
es my own feeble pen, hating be-
tween fear and desire, and emboldens
me to make an essay along the trail
the poetess has SO beautifully blazed.
AS for instance:
How hates the Devil mirk
The tabernacle kirk!
He, like the turbaned Turk,
With frown and frightful smirk
Holds aloft his wicked dirk,
But can't prevail 'gainst Stephen
Burk!
A friend from the Emerald Isle, at
our elbow, suggests this:
Saint Patrick the snakes and toads be-
fobs
And from their presence Ould Ireland
robs;
He safety gives her trusting mobs
And squelches all their sins, but be-
He can't a candle hold to Burk and
Hobbsl
At my other elbow stands a friend
from Vaterland, and I give him poetic
say:
I trink my beer, | take my schnapps,
Before de still unit brewery stops;
But soon we'll hat anonder kind
o. crops,
For Satan und his angels drops
Before de guns Of Burch and Hoppsl
Here are several inspirations
from which to make your choices
difficult thing to do where all excel
But, dear reader, it's up to you.
