CONTEMPORARY COMMENT

Claud Clark, sixteen year old boy
who came here from Missouri few
weeks ago, is in the custody of the
sheriff awaiting the arrival Of Judge
Downer to pass sentence on him. Last
Friday night after the program was
over he entered the window of the
Kinney hall and carried away lot
of tickets used in the picture show
business; he expected to find some
money but none was left in the cash
box. He also took down and carried
away the chewing gum vending ma
chine from the front of the Porter
drug store; after taking out the PEN
MES and the gum, he threw the ma
chine over into the Deal lumber yard.
Kinney G Son changed the color Of
tickets used for Saturday night and
when Clark presented one Of the old
ones, he was requested to explain to
the sheriff; he acknowledged the
thefts and being taken before JUS
tice w. s. Bayles, he plead guilty to
burglary in the second degree and

There is young man in this town,
the same as in many other towns,
who has completely busted his faith
er. This young man is less than 80
years of age, and during the past ten
years 1t is safe to say that he has
never done single days work. He
lives like the only son of a million
aire father, and during these ten
years he has forced his father to sell
valuable real estate and mortgage
the "old home place." OF course the
mother thinks her son is the model
young man of the town, but the truth
about it is he is too ornery for the
dogs to eat.-Mulvane News.

Something should be done toward
bringing the railroads under control
of single body. The railroads are
not seeking to escape control, having
been fully reconciled to it as neces-
sary and benefcient on the whole.
What they seek to escape is the null
tiplicity of official bosses, whose ord
ers are often conflicting. Millions OF
dollars are going over the dam in
waste every year because of duplica-
tions, determinations and litigations
arising out of a division of authority
and the federal government.-Frank

Prohibitionists always have plenty
of nerve, for they could not be pro-
hibitionists without it, but the Illi-
nois folks have more than qualified
in this regard by holding their con-
vention in Peoria, the wettest town
in the whole wide world. One visit
to the town of Peoria would convince
the most optimistic apostle of drouth
that he had found the last place ON
earth to go dry. Around Peoria the
farmers argue that If the distilleries
are abolished they will have no
market for their corn. The manufac-
ture of whiskey is as important and
universal an industry there as the
raising Of wheat is around Stafford.
The menu cards Of Peoria's leading
hotel presents one page Of things to
eat and three pages Of drink list.
Farm land is worth up to $500 an
acre and most of the people are firm
ly convinced that If Peoria should go
dry they would not be able to give
their land away. There is no dis
count on the quality Of courage dis
played by the Illinois prohibitionists
in deciding to hold their state con-
vention in Peoria.-Stafford Courier.

sheep caring for in the hills. There
was one white man in the crew. His

were very plentiful here then and
