There is one private in Uncle Sans

that he is left and to do so. The boys

tired a little ways to the woods to
get supper when suddenly the boches

HAYS B. WHITE HAS GROWN
UP WITH SIXTH DISTRICT
Republican Candidate for Congress
Ideal Representative

Hays B. White, of Mankato, came
to the Sixth district when it was al
most trackless prairie. The earthly
possessions of Mr.. and Mrs. White, at
that time, were team OF plug horses
and a prairie schooner, and a few
silver dollars in addition to an indom-
table spirit and richness in hope
and life. They are still in Jewell
county today, spending much of their
time on their farm, but they own
three quarter sections of good Lime
stone township land, well-stocked
and improved, are the parents of five
grown children, all successful in their
lines, and enjoy the respect and
friendship of territory as wide as
their acquaintanceship.
An Experienced Farmer
It was in 1875 that Mr. and Mrs.
White came to Kansas and filed on a
homestead southwest of Mankato. Not
since that time has Mr.. White been
out of the farming business. Not only
does he own three sections of land,
but he manages and does much of the
manuai LABOR connected Win II. he
is a giant for work and always has
been able to do most as much as two
ordinary men. This, however, has not
in the least interfered with his love
for literature, as his extensive Ii
brary, one of the largest in the coun-
try, attests. And Mr.. White knows
just what is in the ibrary-it was
not purchased for show. He also has
long been one of the leading stock
men of the northwest.
It was struggle for the White
family IN the early days, however
with dry weather, crop failures and
grass-hoppers to fight against. Mr.
White often spent the winter months
teaching school at $50 month thai
he might feed the wife and children
during the hard-time period. It was
IN these days that q trip with the
children In the lumber wagon to ths
home Of > neighbor, or some public
gathering afforded them real prid,
and enjoyment

yer, Kansas, to this union one child
was born, a daughter now three years
of age.
For the last several years Mr.. and
Mrs. Spena have made their home at
Lenexa. Mrs. Spena was a kind and
loving wife and mother and was held
in high esteem by all who knew her
and she will be greatly missed by
her family and friends; she was a

Can one be considered faithful to q
trust that deliberately leaves it?
Yet he has absented himself from
his district, accepted a position that
prevents him from giving the slight
est attention to the duties of Judge;
to take care of itself as best it can,
delaying itigants and putting them
to uncalled for cost and expense and
more than this fastening a burden
upon the tax payers of every county
in the district of $1,000 per day for
every day a Judge Pro tenn sits in
the County, to hold Court in compli-
ance with law, for which he is paid
by the state 100000 per annum to
do, and which he must do if he faith
fully performs his duties under his
oath, Par. 1865, Genl. Stats, 1915,
provides. "The Judge Pro tenn shall
receive for his compensation while
day to be paid by the county in
which said term of Court is held"
This then is the condition the 23rd
Judicial District is in and it is up to
the Voters to regulate it. How do you
Voters like the idea of Re-Electing a
man of this kind. Having your Courts
run by Proxy until the conditions he
states are performed, and paying
$1,000 per day during each term of
Court, for the privilege? While this
party, this Shell-safe, Gun-shy Would
be Patriot, draws pay for two jobs,
and runs his Campaign under the
Camafiauge of Patriotism, attempt

has "Gone at the Call of his Country"

A Fighter for Right
Mr.. White always has stood for
everything that was for the progress
trict and nation. He had been a
fighter always for what he believed
to be right, always student of
economic and political questions. In
1888, he was elected as the Jewell
county representative to the state
Legislature, was defeated for the
same Office in 1896 and was elected
s&es1he state senate in 1900 where he
made record as a constructive lead
er. In 1915. he was appointed to q
place on the Kansas tax commission,
place he filed very acceptably until
last August when he resigned to de-
vote his time to his candidacy for
congress.
Mr. Whites ambition is to repre-
sent his district in congress and to
that end he entered the race last
spring, defeating at the August pri-
mary, the Rev. ]. w. Meredith, one
of the most popular men in the dis
trict. No man in the district is bet
ter qualified for the Office than Mr..
White and he is now making an ac-
tive campaign for election. He has
spent lifetime in the district he de-
sires to represent. He has seen it
grow and develop; he has taken the
bitter with the sweet; he has not
been discouraged with its failure; he
has stayed with the people of his
district and they will be with him on
November 5. Mr.. Whites exper-
ience in matters legislative will be
valuable assest to him as a member
of congress and the fact that he is
man of fearless convictions and un-
usual good judgment indicates that
he will be heard from as the repre-
sentative of the big Sixth.-Capital.

go unpunished is to invite him to try
it again as soon as he feels like it.

And this is the time of the year
when 'ebirds of a feather flock to-

larks are beginning to congregeate
and the robins that went north last
spring are returning. If we have an
open winter the robins and the lark
may stay with US. The mocker stop

thrasher hung on a little longer but
he, too, has been making his "get-
away" during the. past few days.
Many birds that went north last
spring are now returning The close
observer may discover them seeking
insect food about trees during the
day or seeking shelter toward even
ing in leafy shrubbery-
It is also the time of year when the
| human bird feels the call of "back
east" and the scenes of childhood. In
his imagination he sees the hills once
more garbing themselves in crimson
and gold In the smoky valley he
sees whole argosies of fallen leaves
floating lazi1y upon placid waters
