BEST LOVED ENGLISH POET
Thomas Hood Made His Reputation a.
Humorist-Wrote Clever
Verse.

Thomas Hood was probably one Of
the best loved Of the English poets and
humOrists, though often classed among
the minor English poets But every
one knows his Song Of the Shirt" /"

pOetically, the wasted life and carly
death Of the OyeryyOrEed women the
UnfOrtunates Of the poorer classes His
Bridge Nf Sighs~ is equally effective
These are named as his best works,
yet his reputation was made as a hu-
mOrist. He was the son of a book
seller, born in London His father died
when he was young and his mother
moved to IsiinZtOn, where Thomas

A Worthx P1blie servan,.

The Free Press wishes to make a
special plea to the voters of Ellis
county for Geo. H. Brown, our very
efficient County Clerk.
There is not a question in the
minds of the majority Of the voters
that he is absolutely loyal and trust
worthy. That when he took the oath
OF Office he meant to live up to the
letter of the law without fear or
favor. His motto has been Glue to
the line, let the chips fall where they
may" And he has lived up to it in
every respect. Not withstanding his
excellent service he has made few
enemies, by strict administration of
the law. He has also made many
friends by the straightforward
course ne has pursued. We
might quote numerous instances
whereby he has saved the county
hundreds of dollars, but you all know
them. Suffice it to say that Mr..
Brown has been one of the safest,
most economical and painstaking
County Clerks Ellis county ever had
besides, for over year he has been g
member of the draft board, who II
most cases have worked voluntarily
and without pay during the draft
period in which position he has done
his duty without fear or favor and the
popularity of the draft board shoulC
be such that county officers standing
for reelection would gain ten votes
because of their unselfish devotion tt
a patriotic duty to every one vot'
they will lose because of dissatisfied
relatives of drafted men. It shoulC
be the patriotic duty of every voter
regardless of party, to vote for ever!

No kick Coming.

Not withstanding the numerous
complaints that the Hays Chamber of
Commerce is more or less a failure,
and not worth the time and money to
keep it up, the facts are they have
accomplished much for the benefit Of
Hays and Ellis county. For instance,
during harvest time when the cry
went out for more harvest help the
Secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce got busy and as a result 600
men came to Ellis county to help with
the harvest at a minimum wage of
45 cents per hour. Free express de-
livery has been obtained IN Hays;
also free mail delivery is assured in
! short time Some seventy laborers
have been sent to ship building and
other war industries. Two hundred
and eighty-one men, through the eff
forts of the Chamber Of Commerce
have been secured for the S. A. T. C.
at Hays, and other things too numer-
Gus to mention have been accomplish
ed.
Taking into consideration that the
organization is less than a year old
and the amount of good they have
accomplished, the citizens have nc
reason to complain.

MR.. coNNELLY's WAR RECORD.


Which is the safer test to apply to
Mr.. Connelly's War record,-His SOU
venirs which he collected on junket-

On March %, 1915, he voted
Against the request of the Presi-

which resolution was offered in re-

Topeka Kas., Oct %, 1913.
Hays Free Press, Hays, Kans.


Hays Free Press, Hays, Kans-
The loyalty, the patriotism, the
Americanism of every Republican
voter IN Kansas and the nation has
been attacked by President Wilson
in his recent appeal to the voters Of
America to return only democrats to
congress. In effect he has charged
every Republican as unworthy a voice
in the affairs of his government and
his political henchmen in Kansas
right now are circulating the voters
with the preposterous statement that
the election of Republican congress
war policy in America This is an out
rageous declaration upon the part Of
anyone in these trying times of our
nations destiny and ought to be re-
pudiated next Tuesday with a vehe-
nance that will bespeak no uncer
tainty. The thousands of boys that are
Offering their lives on the bloody
fields of France are entitled to some
thing better than a negotiated peace.
Republican candidates for congress
are for an unconditional surrender of
the Hun hords and the absolute aboli-
ton of autocracy from the face of
the earth. Republican voters are en-
titled to voice IN the government
they are now so unselfshly having to
uphold and perpetuate.

On Sunday, October 27, at the

of Hays occurred the death of Mary
Isabel McDOrrough Higgins, widow
of Horace N. Higgins. Since the death
of her husband some years ago Mrs.
Higgins bravely assumed and met the
responsibilities Of the large family
and the farm duties and proved her
self to be not only true mother to
her own family, but also mother
and friend IN the community. She
was a devoted christian and leading
spirit in the country NJ. E. church as
long as the church could be sustained.
She was born at Plymouth, Ohio,
February 18th, 1850 and her life COW
cred a period of only So years

measured by deeds and sacrifices then
she lived much longer. Humanity
speaking she would be living today,
had she not made the motherly sacri-

Card of Thanks

The family of the late Mrs. Mary
Isabel Higgins, and her departed son,
Everitt, desire to express their deep
gratitude to their neighbors and many
friends for their sympathy and help
fulness in the sickness, death and
double bereavement that has come to
the household. Such sympathy and
kindness reveals the worth of true
friendship and are a great support
in the trials of life.
