RoosEVELT's REPUBLICANIsAI

To the Editor OF the EUeHiHO Ledger:
sir-I notice in the news dispatches that
Theodore Roosevelt in commenting on the
stand taken by George w. Perkins and
other Progresslves on the hctlon of the
executive committee of the Republican Ma
tions Committee, says: II heartily approve
of what Messrs. Perkins and Colby have
done think they have rendered a great
service 10 the American people and to the
Republican party"
we are ali glad to know that Mr.. Roose-
welt has finally been 'snaked out" This is
his first kindly reference TO the Republican
marty in years. He made some great
speeches in the last presidential campaign
Tor Mr. Hughes and gave loyal support to
MS candidacy, but not once, that l can re-
calI did he refer 10 or name the Republican
marty 1t is a pleasure to realize that
Mt Roosevelt has returned to the Repub-
Iican party and that he makes loyalty to
tbat party synonymous with duty to the
American people. There never was any
good reason for Mr. Roosevelt and others
leaving the Republican party. The proper
tbinR Tor any one to do is to remain IN his
narfv and try 10 reform II, II Teforma-
tion Is necessary, AS well might a citl-

WHY STATES SPLIT TICKETS

U ANSAS went for Wilson by $4,000 on
4A the same day it elected a Republican
Governor by 100000 This is why:
If this Legislature will get down to
business this afternoon; keep down to
business every day for the next few
weeks restrict the number Of its cm-
ployes to the minimum; refrain from
playing politics; eliminate log-ro' ing;
abstain from pork kick out the graft
ers maintain a strict regard for econ
omy; guard against the innocent-'ook-
ing jokers the lobby viii have ready to
slip into bills transact all business in
the open; enact the legislation that we
have promised the people, but make
as few laws as possible; refrain from
legislation In behalf of special interests
of any sort straighten out some Of the
worst tangles of our complicated code.
and then adjourn promptly and go
home, the people of Kansas will rise up
and call it blessed.
Governor Capper thus expressed him
self in his message. He is a Republican.
but that is not the reason he was elected.
He was elected because Kansas has
learned that in State politics there are
no Republicans and Democrats.

WHO THREW THE MONKEY

HTHEN the President heard the gossip
w that he had told the Senate Steering
COMMITTEES he would veto the water
power lease bills he denounced it as an
attempt to throw "A monkey wrench into
the legislative machinery"
on the same day he sent to the Senate
the nomination Of Doctor Grayson to the
rank Of rear admiral jumping him over
the heads Of more than a hundred other
medical officers, most of whom had been
in the service twice as long
The real purpose Of the Presidents
conference with the Senate Steering
Committee was to urge greater diligence
in the passing Of the bills on his legisla'
tive program. Congress will adjourn five
weeks from next Saturday. In this short
interval It must pass fifteen appropria.
ton bills. In addition, the following
measures must either be approved or left
to the tender mercies of the next Con
gress, in which the balance Of power viii

Representatives:
A bill or bills for increasing the

Bills to solve the railroad labor
problems.

PASTORAL

There's a little lone house on top OF a hill,
And a crooked road leading down,
Past the fields below and a little old mill,
And on TO little old town
And a little old woman waits all alone,
In the little old house and gray,
And her little old ear to the telephone,
She hears what the neighbors say.
Her little old man to town has gone
on his little sturdy old legs;
He hiked away at the little old dawn,
With little old dozen eggs.
He took the fruit of the little old hen,
To the little old town, so far,
To trade 'em off-but he'll come again
In little old motorcar
And the little old woman and the little old
man
Will rest their little old legs,
For they can AFFORD a car, they can,
For little old eggs is eggs

Girls Bake Bread
At Wanda School
Redwood County Bread Baking
Contest Held Saturday; Two
Clubs Present

The Redwood County Bread
Baking Contest was held in the
consolidated school building at
Wanda Saturday, May 26, with
Miss Shepperd of the Extension
Department of the State Uni

Because of bad weather only
two clubs were present. The
Wanda Club and the Lamberton
Club which had been to consid-
cradle trouble to reach Wanda
because of rain and almost inn
passible roads.
These same conditions made
it impossible for the clubs from
the rural schools-the Class B
Clubs-to be present and Mrs.
Pratt now plans to have another
contest for them in the near
| future.
All girls in the two clubs pres
ent are eighth grade girls and
the results obtained in their
baking were really remarkable.
The members of the Jolly Six
Club from Lamberton are Joyce
Sill, Anna McMannaus, FHossie
Basil, Evelyn Terry, Ora Keller
and Gladys Eykyn. The girls
were accompanied by their
teacher Miss Sweeney.
The Wanda Club girls are
Margaret Riley, Bertha Schwen-
gle, Alice Bloedow, Margaret
Leuther, Lucy Schlumpberger,
Gertrude Jenniges, Margaret
Zeiske, Anna Riley, Leda Reams,
Ledwina Leuther, Christina Jen-

the Saturday contest were win
