BERLIN, April l0.-A British sub

here Sunday from Budapest via Wen.
na gives an accoun, Of conditions in
Budapest very different from the
Rosea,e stories OF Hungarian boil
shevish appearing elsewhere
Five days ago" he says, "sn anti
bolsheyist movement broke out in
Budapest resulting in 4 complete split
between the socialist and the boil
sheviki parties. Messages sent from
the city are worthless. The plain fact
is that 20 percent OF the popula-
tion arc dead agains, bolshevlsm and
are crying to the entente for inieryen-

10 percent minority 4 actually capa-
bic Of exercising ,errfJ for a day or

bolsheviki members OF the council
last week demanded permission to
plunder the city for three days. Per
mission was refused, but for how
long,
Steal to Pay Allies. =
"Thc bolsheyki hope TO win for
elgn confidence and gain credit by
paying off, but money Tor this purpose
is obtained by undisguised robbery
For example, ali jewellers of the city

ASSISTANT DEMOCRATS
Alleged Republican Who Would Rath-
er Fight Republicans Than Dem
ocrats Begin Campaign

An anonymous circular signed RE
publican Publicity Committee has just
been sent broadcast by somebody who
is too cowardly to sign his name to
the statements therein. There is
bunch of mongrels in Denver who have
for years taken so much delight in
traducing all true republicans that
they call themselves republicans in
dersion and to enable them the bet
ter to carry out their chief aim, which
is to elect democratic state ticket.
The chief attack in the present cir
cular is against Governor Shoup, and
one Of the candidates for U. S. SEN
ator to succeed Senator Thomas. 1t
can well be said of Governor Shoup
that he fears no attack as he well
proved in the last campaign when the
Post opened the door to be bought off
and he unhesitatingly refused the Of
fer and let them do their worst all
through the campaign. The fact that
the writer Of this dirty attack was
afraid to sign his name and instead
used the signature of an organization
that has never been authorized by the
republican party is sufficient to show
that he is too cowardly to stand back
of his statements and knows them to
be false. That the money for the pub
LEGATION of the circular and assistance
in sending il out comes from the dem
ocratic party is amply proven by the
fact that the democratic papers all had
copies of it ready for comment a week
ahead of their republican contempor-
aries. The democrats have counted So
long on control of the state govern
ment that the imminent danger Of los
ing their last remaining grip on it at
the coming election has made them
desperate and we look for many such
underhanded attacks during the COM
ing year.
II would be well for the republican
voters before paying attention to any
circular to see that the name Of some
reputable person is signed thereto.
Any statements that are true and are
published for the purpose Of benefit
ting either the party or the public
service can find plenty Of honest vot-
ers who will willingly sign them. II
unsigned there is unquestionably
base motive back of them.

and the Lincoln memorial. The form
which this memorial will take cannot
be now determined; this must rest
largely with the architects and sculp-
tors, who will be called upon to de-
sign the most appropriate and digni-
fled monument that can be built and
with the National Fine Arts Commits
sion that under the law must approve
the design and determine its site.

"The purposes to which the money
obtained from membership fees and

definitely determined by the National
Committee of the Roosevelt Memorial

upon three definite objects. They are:
First, to improve the land that has

Fond Memory Brings the Light. Etc

Let your memory, a tender Ruth, go
cleaning in the fields of long ago. And
still not so long ago either-say about
ten years ago. The particular field to
which we shall direct her attention is
one with stump in it and upon the
stump democratic campaign orator
addressing a group of his enlighted
fellow citizens. Let Ruth come along
and repeat for US his soulful plea:
And now, my fellow citizens,
want to direct your attention to the
item of sugar. | have showed you
how the tariff on coffee makes you pay
twenty cents pound on what you
should get for ten, and now | tell you
how the poor mans breakfast cup is
still further taxed by the damnable
and outrageous tax on sugar. There
is tariff on sugar, my fellow citizens,
and you are today paying six cents a
pound for a necessity Of life that
shouldn't be costing you over four
cents. And tell you. you men with
the calloused hands and honest, grimy
faces, that when the glorious demo-
cratic party comes into power it will
sweep this iniquitous tariff tax on su-
gar away and you will have all you
want pretty nearly for the asking. The
republican party, my friends, is the
party of the plutocrats and the op-
pressors of labor, and just so long as
it remains in power you will go right
on paying twenty cents for coffee and
six cents for sugar-pSying tax that
enriches the wealthy and robs you. The
rich are getting richer and the poor
are getting poorer and it's all because
of the robber tariff. 1t robs you and
it robs |, But as gawdulmity sits on
His throne we are going to rout the
republicans out and make the neces-
saries of life cheap for the pee-pul!'
How vividly it all comes back to
mind and how some Of us remember
in a shame-faced sort of fashion how
we cheered this sloppy sentiment and
really believed it. But deary me, how
times have changed and how we have
changed with them!-Fort Wayne

Attend Reunion

The National Grand Army renuion
held at Columbus, Ohio. last week was
big affair in spite of the rapidly
thinning ranks of the old veterans.
Fourteen thousand of them were in
the big parade, over ten thousand
marching on foot. Comrades p. s.
Lynch and A. Deeter represented Kit
Carson Post in the parade and March
cd on foot, Mr.. Lynch going the full
route through a rain. The war closed
over fifty-four year. ago md when
you consider that fourteen thousand
of them are still able and willing to
travel from all parts of the country
and then march miles in a parade it
is well named the Grand Army. Both
Mr.. Lynch and Mr.. Deeter are back
and enthusiastic over their trip.

NEW ARKANSAS
VALLEY BOOSTER
Albert G. Frick of FreepOrt, Illinois,
Visits Western Branch and Be
comes Enthusiastic

y. Albert G. Frick, general mana
ger of the Taylor & Frick loan agency
at Freeport, Illinois, visited the west
ern branch of the company at Lamar
last week, and in company with the
western manager, Eli W. Gregg, made
an inspection tour of the valley and
the various local branches in the
southeastern part of the state. Mr..
Frick was surprised at the bountiful
crops he saw on every hand in the
non-irrigated sections of the valley
and with the heavy yield which has
brought great prosperity to the own
enthusiastic booster for Colorado
lands. He expects to assist the
Truax-Gregg Realty Co. in bringing
in lot of homeseekcrs this fall to
purchase homes in this and the ad-
joining counties. He says there are
thousands of farmers in the middle
state, who are unable to buy the high
priced farms of those sections, but
could buy a half-section Of non-irri-
gated land here at present prices. The
yield this season, he says, has been
far more profitable here if you count
the difference Of interest on the in
vestment. The Truax-Gregg Realty
Co. has established quarters in various
cities of the middle section of the coun-
s.,a a &c to. k.. k..i., IN
the homeseekers by the hundreds.
Their mail is being loaded down with
answers to the descriptive folders
Inch they recently issued and the in
dications all point to big movement

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HEREy
Or Better Still Whether Have We
COME From Whence?

We notice a number Of our humor-
Gus contemporaries are quarrelling
among themselves as to where is TO be
the location Of the next sugar factory
that the Industrial Sugar Co. will
build. Will they please notify US just
for curiosity where the last one that
company built is located? How many
tons of beets it has bought and paid
the farmers for? How many tons Of
sugar it is contributing to the markets
in this time of dire need? Whether
it is one of the institutions that owes
the Scandinavian Bank Of Fagro for its
working capital, the breaking Of which
bank has cost the North Dakota farm
ers several million dollars? Before
Lamar gets excited about this so-call-
ed sugar company it wants to know
little more about what it is and
what it has done, and who it has done
il to.

Night School

Owing to q seeming demand and re-
quest for q night school at which short
hand and typewriting should be taught
the Board of Education of School Dis
trict No. IA, has determined to an
nounce the opening Of such school
In the High school building. commene-
ing with Monday night, November 3,
and continuing for twelve weeks. 1t
is the intention of the Board to have
the sessions Of the night school occur
on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday
nights from the hours of 7:30 to 9:30.
A tuition fee for the entire term of
$500 payable in advance will be
made.
This decision of the Board and the
establishment of the school are con-
tingent upon an enrolment of not less
than six pupils for the entire term.
In order that final arrangements may
be completed for the night school it
is necessary for those interested to
make application at once to the under
signed. and should the required num-
Der of applications be received, en-
rollment will take place at the opening
of the school.
A competent instructor has been Sc
cured. In the carrying on of the work
of the night school, the idea Of indi-
vidual instruction will prevail as
against class instruction, thus enabl-
ing those, who are anxious to push
forward, an ample opportunity to com
plete the course in the twelve weeks.
Let me urge on those interested to
make application at an early date.

FIRST STEPS TAKEN
City Council Votes Unanimously To
Organize New Paving District

The city aldermen at their meeting
this week heard all parties connected
with the petition to establish paw
ing district including all Of Main
street inside the corporation. There
were some protestants from the resi-
dence district but as a large majority
of the frontage of the entire section
included was signed up and demand
ed the organization of the district the
aldermen voted unanimously in favor
of the organization and the neces-
sary steps will be taken at once to sell
the bonds and arrange for all the legal
details necessary to make it possible
to begin the work of paving.
Chas. Maxwell, one Of the large
owners of residence lots on the street,
told the Register the first of the week
that after few months experience at
Dodge City where many of the streets
are paved, he would favor paving the
entire city and would not care to live
where there were no paved streets.
He is a large holder of lots here and
is ready to back any proposed district.

Lecture and Song Recital

Lecture and Song Recital
On Thursday evening, October Both,
the people of Lamar and vicinity will
have an opportunity to hear DIR. Geo.
Toomey give his famous lecture and
song recital entitled. "An Evening
finer entertainment is given on the
American lyceum platform and the
greatest treat of the season is in store
for Lamar
Mr.. Toomey has appeared in many
cities and before a number of our col
leges and universities and has receiv-
ed from each the highest commenda-
ton.
There are many entertainers before
the public but few are in his class.
One of our best men considers DIR.
Toomey superior to Dunbar himself
and even superior to DIR. Pearson who
has long held the position of being
Americas prince of entertainers.
The following press notices will give
an idea of his work where he had ap-
peared in the recent past:
81 have had the pleasure of hearing
George L. Toomey upon several oc-
easions us reader and singer. In
each he is an artistic, attractive and
successful entertainer. He possesses
an unusually fine musical voice, a
keen appreciation of art, delicate
sense of literary Interpretation, a fine
appreciation of the humor of life, and
an inspiring personality.-John W.
Wctzel, Professor of Public Speaking,
Yale University.
Such powerful personal magnetism
does he possess that he gets his audi
from three minutes and they sit in
rapt attention until he finishes. FIT.
Collins Courier.
mo number of the College lecture
course this winter has been better re-
ceivcd than Mr.. George E. Toomey in
his Lecture and Song Recital on Paul
Laurence Dunbar. His word pictures
were clear; they held the interests and
quickly aroused the enthusiasm Of his
hearers.
"He was in complete sympathy with
his subject, and convulsed his audience
with laughter, and brought them to
tears as he quoted from the works Of
Dunbar. His is the type of entertain
ment we wish to hear the second and
third time" "-Chas. A. Lory, President
Colo. State Agri. College.
II am pleased to testify to the very
pronounced abilities of Mr.. George f.
Toomoy in oratory and song. One of
the most famous of Mr.. Toomey's eff
forts is his Dunbar evening, which
never fails to arouse the most entrus-
iastic interest Of his audience. He
combines those talents and qualities
Of personality that fit him ideally for
the public platform. A. Carl
