THE SPIRES OF OXFORD.

saw the spires of Oxford
AS 1 was passing by,
The gray spires OF Oxford
Against a pearl-gray sky.
Ny heart was with the Oxford men
Who went abroad to die.
The years go fast in Oxford,
The golden years and gay,
The hoary Colleges look down
On careless boys at play.
But when the bugles sounded war
They put their games away.
They left the peaceful river,
The cricket field, the quad,
The shaven lawns OF Oxford,
To seek bloody sod
They gave their merry youth away
For country and for God.
God rest you, happy gentlemen,
Who laid your good lives down,
Who took the khaki and the gun
Instead OF cap and gown.
God bring you 20 fairer place
Than even Oxford town.

The teacher recited The Landing OF
the Pilgrims. Then she requested each
pupil to draw from imagination pic
ture of Plymouth Rock.
Most of them went to work at once,
but one little fellow, whose question ap-
pears in the Christian Herald, hesi-
tated, and at last raised his hand.
"Well, Willie, what is it?" asked the
teacher.
"Please, ma'am," inquired Willie
anxiously, "do you want us TO draw
hen or rooster ?"

A Full Colonel.

An answer that may or may not have
turned away wrath was that made by a
clever Englishwoman, who was giving
a dinner party to one of the guests, a
pompous colonel in the British army.
The officer, on learning where his
place was to be at the dinner table,
said rather irritably TO his hostess that
of course it was a matter of no i'm
portance, but that he thought in his
position he ought to tell her he was a
"full colonel"
"Are you really?" was the reply.
''Well, | hope that when the dinner is
over you will be still fuller"

clusion as he. His great factories
have been devoted to winning the
war. His influence has been valu-
able asset to the Government. Then,
why dig up his record as pacifist!
Because he has received the en-
dorsement of Democratic president
as a senatorial candidate. Could
anything be more childish or disgust
ing? How long will the American
people be fooled by such brainless
partisanism? We trust not great
while.
Let us compare the position of Mr..
Ford with that of the Beacon and
it's patron saint T. Roosevelt, Esq.
When Mr.. Roosevelt failed to re-
ceive the nomination for president
he denounced the Republican party
from every angle and made the pre-
diction that with the crooked bunch
in charge of the party they would
ruin the country. The leaders ne
scored with all adjectives in the
Roosevelt dictionary. The people
took him at his word and elected Mr..
Wilson.
What did Mr.. Roosevelt do? Sneak
ed back into the Republican party
endorsing its principles, took his seat
in the band wagon, and is today pro-
claimed the greatest living Republl-
can, and the Beacon is for Roosevelt
and anything he is for.
Now here is where we have to gel
off. -r.t#.-s
Ford made mistake; he acknow'
lodged his error; he started in to
make amends in every way possible
yet the stigma of having been some
thing else in the past still attaches to
his name. ,
Mr.. Roosevelt, we will say to save
argument, made mistake: he came
back and agreed to play the game az
the Republicans wanted it played
and the past is forgotten.
1t might be said that the reason
for the difference is that Ford wa:
unpatriotic,. while Roosevelt merely
assailed political organization. This
would sound reasonable unless the
matter were given some thought.
However, we cannot but believe
that the matter of patriotism is just
as important in time of peace as II
time of war, and that if Mr.. Roose
welt was mistaken in his estimate Of
the country by making false accusa
tions against that party, he commit
teed just as grave an error as Mr.
Ford and the two should be treatec
the same. ... r..

any more than under the old sys-
tenn.
And then again, wheat is the only
thing raised by the farmer that has
been hit by the price fixing board.
The sky is the limit for all kinds of
feed, live stock, poultry, eggs, cream
and other farm produce, and we be-
lieve that no one will disagree with
us when we say that prices are good.
The farmer who raises the greater
part Of his living should be in good
way to make money, and the people
who work on a salary and get but
little more than they did before the
war started are really the people who
have the strongest kick coming.

is WHEAT ALL THAT
THE FARMER RAISES

The action of President Wilson in
vetoing the bill for higher wheat has
not caused as great a commotion as
was generally expected. The major
ity of the farmers have looked at the
matter from a sensible angle, but
there are few who think that he did
an unwise thing.
President Wilson did not veto the
bill to handicap the farmer, but be-
cause he thought it best for the ma
jority Of the people of the country
those who must buy flour, and who
are having their share of the, burdens
along with the farmer.
We confess that we do not have
any idea of the cost or raising wheat,
and really very few farmers have
more than an idea. Only compli-
Gated set of books kept by an expert
would enable him to tell the exact
cost, and these are not available to
most farmers.
The price of weat being set at a
fixed figure has worked great bene-
fit to the farmer, if he will stop and
think of conditions just few years
back when wheat threatened to go to
SIS bushel. Most Of the farmers
sold that year for less than a dollar.
At harvest time wheat was way down
and the lumber yards did big bust
ness selling granaries. The farmers
who were able stored their wheat and
really got good price, but the renter
and the poor man sold from the ma
chine at whatever the spectators
cared to pay, and they did not care tc
pay much. This year it is different
The speculator gets nothing and tn,
farmer, no matter how poor, get
full price for his wheat, and while i
rs double what is usually paid his ex
penses have not been twice as grea
IN most cases. The man who raise,
good crop is not hurt, while tn,
one who raised no wheat is not hur

POOR PHONE SERVICE.


Just because other Kansas towns
are experiencing trouble with poor
telephone service is no reason why
Liberal people should lay down and
submit to such.
In most lines of business the pub
lie have the opportunity to change
their trading place whenever the SER
vice they get is unsatisfactory, but
we are denied any such opportunity
in the matter Of the telephone. The
State guarantees immunity from
competition and then let the company
dish up whatever brand of service
suits them.
We have yet to hear anyone who
is on a rural line out of Liberal, COM
mend the service, while we have
heard any number speak of the lack
of service, and this was brought out
undisputedly at the hearing before
the Board held here at Liberal. It
was proven beyond doubt that the
service was not only poor-but that
it was really no service to speak of.
Witnesses in considerable number
could have been summoned from both
town and country to testify to poor
service but the Board said that they
had evidence enough-didn't want
any more.
Not only was a part of the raise
granted but the rule allowed that the
payment must be in advance, and this
has caused plenty of adverse COM
ment.
But there is more in this question
than the mere matter of the finan-
cial interest of the owner of the Lib
eral plant. We have never yet lived
in a town where the toll service was
as poor as it is here. There is no
satisfaction in long distance calls, as
half the time the party at the other
end cannot be heard. Strangers pas
sing through the town who have had
occasion to use the toll service speak
in highly complimentary (?) terms
Of the ca fine service. At Bucklin
and Meade service can be had almost
anywhere satisfactorily, but here il
is about as satisfactory as getting out
and trying to yell to those places. II
we ever expect to get out of the
country town class we must have de.
cent toll service as well as decent 10.
cal service. The fact that we could
not get a telephone service as they
do in Dodge City kept Liberal from
having daily paper last fall. The
Democrat could not telegraph service
because the Associated Press did moi
have wire through here and all the
service they could furnish for the
morning paper was phone service, anC
this we could not use because Of the
poor service.
The Democrat is only interested in
this matter from a public standpoint
We would like to see good service
here, good rural system that could
be used, and first class toll service
We would not object to paying the

CANDIDATE FOR SENATOR

man had letter sent to every SEN

requesting them to inaugurate a

thority.

he is now running for senator from

Which doesn't mean anything.
Granting that The Beacon is right
in its assertions, has it any moral
right to now dig up such matters

to do SO? '''
GO Henry Ford was pacifist, but
there were millions of them in the
United States and they were not all

Wilson, himself, was ordinarily pa
cifist, yet even the Beacon will not
claim that he is disloyal and un-
worthy of trust. mmo3 ag,telrGF
