Let 'Em Both Retract
And Apologize

From the way Ed Morrow
brands the story was fatty I'M
true, it rather looks like Con
gressman Campbell Cantrill
pulled bone" when he accused
Ed of having prosecuted some
tobacco growers on a pooling
charge in Grant county several
Years ago.. Cantrill first sprung
1.-THE story in a speech at Win
chester, Morrow branded Can
|trill's charge as absolutely and
una1terably false. He says: Il
had nothing whatever to do with
the indictment, trial and cohvic-
ton of these men. / was not the
United States Attorney at that
time. did not gain indictment.
/ did not prosecute them. did
not appear at all in their cases.
Il have here a certifcation
from J. w. Menzies, Clerk of the
United States District Court at
Covington, which shows that the
indictment of those men was re-
turned at Covington on Febru-
airy II, 1910, and was signed by
James H. Tinsley, United States
Attorney, and that conviction was
gained April 16, 1910.
"Mr. Minzies further certi-
flies that l was sworn in as United
States Attorney January 81, 1911.
OF course, if the records bear
out Morrow's claim, it will be up
to Cantrill to retract and apolo-
|gize. But Morrow might do a
little retracting himself for his
false claim that the expenses of
the Insurance Rating Board are
paid by the taxpayers of the
state, when-records have been
shown that the insurance COM
pannies pay all of its expenses
and further that since the mi
surance Rating Board took hold
of things, insurance. rates to the
people of Kentucky have ma
terially decreased.
So after,all, it appears rather
"a "dog fall' to us, and if one
side does any retracting, and
apologizing, the other ought to
also. |

Kentucky fans are all mighty well
pleased that Cincinnati won the
worlds base ball championship. If
there was a one who missed seeing
at least one game at Cincinnati, it
was pretty nearly his own fault, fol-
the series going to eight games, gave
all a chance to get into the big park
notwithstanding the huge crowds that
attended the first games there. The
Reds came through with great game
ness, and our hats are all off to Pat
Moran and his great team. May
they win a dozen more pennants and
championships in a row. Their vic
tory this year has been the best adj
vertisement that Cincinnati has ever
had. For a first class, real town,
that burg is hard to beat.

LEAGUES AND UNIONS

Friend Jim: Most all we hear
and read about now is leagues ana
unions. League of nations, anti-sa-
loon league and others, even to the
league of husbands. Way back just
after the Civil war they had the
Union League, but it did not get any
nearer to us than Buffalo Valley and
Minelick. Now it is all over. Well
the league Of husbands is all right;
we must stick together for at least
twenty more years any how, by then
the women will all wear PANTS.
Not long ago I was going thru one
OF the many parks here, when an old
-ish like woman passed by with her
riding togs on, pants, coat and all.
with her crop in her hand. About
that time she met very old woman
who stopped right in her tracks to
gaze and behold, and turned plumb
around to get full view. l had
stopped, and many others The old
lady says, my, my, and what?" !
says, "That is IT." and she says Il
sure agree with you, young man, but
tell me what is this world of ours
coming to?" Well, it is all right;
ours is free country, and if it does
go against the grain the way the
other fellow acts we have got to grin
and bear it to the end.
And while speak OF the end, or
when we pass in our checks, If we
will only believe what the Spiritual-
lists do, or if we knew that they are
right, there need be no fears, for
they have it down pat that we all go
to land of rest. Reading Conan
Doyle's letters on Heaven, he has
knocked Hell into cooked hat or
higher than a kite. Is none, he says,
and further claims that we can COM
municate with our departed friends.
But let 'er roll, as rabbits will soon
be ripe. g.. w.

The two main floors will seat about

Gets HIS WAY
County Commissioners VIII Not
Order Him to Widen the
Span Under the
Slough Bridge

County Commissioners Perkins,
Westerfelt and MObeley and County
Engineer Cooper We're here yesterday
in conference with the city Oiiici1iS
relative to the matter Of enlarging the
spillway under the new bridge at the
foot of the river hill.
After looking over the proposition
they decided, it appears, to sustain
their county engineer in his contention
that a 16 foot spillway was enough,
notwithstanding the entire population
of Baxter thought differently and 30
expressed themselves. In fact, Mr..
MObeley expressed himself as believ-
ing the opening was too small and in
the wrong place; but this did not in
fluence him to grant the city the
change.
This morning Mr.. Willard stated to
the Citizen man that he would ae-
cept the decision, under protest. His
reason for not appealing the case was
the fact that this would cause great
inconvenience and Joss to Baxter
Springs, because the road would likely
be blOckaded to traffic for several
months.
Baxter Springs news., 1919-05-30

dedicated next Sunday is the fulfill
ment, of those plans and testifies to
the spirit of the people who have made
it possible.
A site for the new church was Sc
cured at the corner of East and Thir-
teenth streets, close to the business
center of the city and not far from
the center Of the city's resident popu-
lation.
Committees appointed to select
church plans visited q number Of
modern churches closely including
those in Joplin, Carthage, Webb City,
Pittsburg, TT. Scott and Columbus,
and the style of architecture adopted
can be said to be the summing up Of
the many good points found in the
various Investigations. 1t was hoped
to erect a building that would meet
the spiritual and moral needs of the
city and to be a place that would

the corner of Park avenue and Elev-
enth street, was destroyed by fire on
the afternoon of November 4th, 1917,
at which time a raging south wind
threatened to carry the blaze into the
business section of the city, and only
the timely assistance by out Of town
fire companies, restricted the loss to
the church and one garage in which
the fire started.
Immediately after the fire had laid
waste their church home, the Metho-
dists of this city met and decided to
rebuild on a larger scale. The church
that had burned had about outlived its
capacity for taking care Of a rapidly
growing city, and plans were dis
cussed and adopted which would take
care Of the present church needs and
the needs Of the future generations,
as well. The building that is to be
Baxter Springs news., 1919-05-30

qualify as a community center, as
well.
The estimated cost of the entire
plant, to include the church and par
sonage, was about $4,000, but the ex-
treme high prices of materials and
the shortage of competent help, forced
a revision of these estimates if the
building was to be completed at once.
The cost today stands at about
100000 and is worth every dollar of
that sum. The workmanship thruout
this building is first class in every re-
spect, no better material than has
gone into it could be had at any price;

A dog which was thought to have
been mad was killed on our streets 10
day about noon by City Marshal
Horton. The dog belonged to s. J.
Cook of the White House Grocery. It
had been sick for several days and
had sore throat. It seems that the
dog was difficult to kill for It was

twice. A bull dog bit Mr.. Cooks dog

Some Early History
Only two people still live in the city
and hold their membership in the
present church who had membership
in the first church to be built here.
Away back about 1869 a society was
formed here and Mr.. ]. B. Opperman,
now one of the local trustees, was a
member of that little company; about
1871 or 1872, frame school building
that stood at the present site Of the
;old high school, was purchased and
moved to q location which was neal
