MAJESTIC DRAWING GOOD
CROWDS EVERY NIGHT

Manager LeMonnier of the Majes-
tic Theater is feeling mighty good
over the nice business coming to his
house since he re-opened it.
Guy has started something of an
innovation in the picture show bust
ness by making "curtain talk" each
evening between shows, in which he
tells the people what he has for the
coming nights.
Last Monday night the play "Julius
Caesar "drew a standing room only
house, and the balance of the week
has seen good audiences in attend
ance. Guy is doing the two things
necessary to the show business. He
is putting on some high class plays
and is telling the people about it..
There are few shows in towns of this
size which put out such classy pro-
grams every night as you can see at
the Majestic. When you feel like see
ing a real good show go down and
spend the evening with Guy.

CONGRESSMAN SHOUSE
TO TREASURY PLACE
Resigns Seat to Become Assistant
Secretary of the Federal
Treasury.

Congressman Jouett Shouse has
been appointed assistant secretary of
the treasury and will assume his du-
ties at once. The interests of his
constituents in the Seventh district,
however, will be looked after by him.
self just as before, to the end of his
term as representative in March, the
end Of the term being too near at
hand to warrant the calling of spe-
cial election to fill the vacancy.
Mr.. Shouse thus again becomes in
timately associated with Carter Glass,
now secretary, who as congressman
was head of the house committee on
banking and currency. The late Con-
gresham Neeley distinguished him
self on that committee at the time of
the financial probe in New York, and
Congressman Shouse, who succeeded
him, was closely associated with Mr..
Glass in framing the vast financial
measures of the last few years that
have practically put the country be
yond any chance Of panic, and made
the treasury and banking system able
to stand the tremendous strain of war
without quiver. The two have been
intimate friends and have done a lot
of work together, and Secretary Glass
doubtless wished to retain a valuable
co-worker in Washington while the
treasury department is on the job OF
readjusting the country's finances tc
peace time conditions.
Mr.. Shouse thus comes into the
highest departmental position held by
any Kansan in recent years. He i.
next to the head of the treasury.

NO MORE ACCESSORIES;
ITS AUToMoTIVE PRODUCTS

Val Cole, the genial saleman for
the Wichita Tire & Supply Company,
spends a lot of time in Liberal and
incidentally drops into the Democrat
office occasionally. Cole is a real live
one and makes the big deals that the
other fellows don't think can be put
ocross. He is built on the plump or
der and if he could double his weight
might make Fatty Arbuckle take to
the tall timber. He says he doesn't
have to sell his products-that when
ever he goes into the Office of the
prospective customer he figures that
he is going to miss meal because of
the long list he will have to write up.
Val dropped in last week for one
of his calls and said that he was down
and out. This was because he had
always been known as an accessory
salesman, and now they amt no such
thing.
At recent meeting of the Jobbers
Association it was decided to drop the
term accessory" meaning as it does
something that is put on, and adopt
the term Automotive Product.
More lengthily explained the prop
isition is this. When cars were frs
put on the market they consisted
mostly of wheels, engine and body
Everything that came after, wind
shield, horn, starter lights, etc, were
added as the customer desired, OIL
were accessories. Now cars are turn
ed out complete, so those things are
no longer accessories, but a part OF
the car, and become, as the jobbers
contend "automotive products" "
hence the term.
The first ad we have noticed since
the new order appeared in the last
issue of the Motor World and what
was originally known as accessories
appeared as "Automotive Products. "

TALK OF FEDERATION OF
CHURCHES AT HUGOTON

Christian and Methodist churches
federate and use the Cchistian church
building. We don't know who made
the suggestion but we think it would
be a good one. The advantages of
federation would be that stronger
organization could be formed The
same money would do more work for
the cause and thus the high cost of
church life be cut, and then new
minister and a new church would not
be needed right away,
There are some other things that
Hugoton needs as badly or worse than
new church, and that would be al
most as much of an incentive to right
living. How about. Y. M. c. A. or
some other provision for clean,
wholesome entertainment for. the
young folks of the town. This would
be in connection with city library
and person could have his choice be-
tween the pool room and the Y. M. C.
A. which we do not have at this time.
The Christian church is large enough
to accommodate the combined con-
gregatons of both the churches and
there is little doubt that the practi-
cal details of such an arrangement
would be worth while equitably. AS
to fundamentals there is little differ
ence between the Christian and Meth
odist beliefs. The differences lie
chiefly in detail of organization,
method and conduct. But after all
its the fundamentals that count most,
and the details must always be left
more or less to the individual judg-
ment. Have you heard of the trench
religion over there? When they were
fighting and in danger of their lives
every day the men would come back
to tell US that they don't stop to ask
a man when he Joined church or
whether he was a protestant or a
catholic, but they did get mighty seri-
Gus and the way they weighed the
worth of a man was by the question,
"Is his heart in the right placer" SIS
he square?" "Has he the courage
and the desire to help his comrades?"
and they knew the man to trust every
time. When they come home they
are going to judge here by the same
standard and it is possible they won't
have much patience with those who
put the details above the fundament-
als.-Hugoton Hermes.

MORE ROAD MONEY
But Kansas Will Have to Get Busy To
Get Her Share of This

The following special dispatch
from Washington appeared in the
Kansas City Times:
Under the proposed apportionment
among the state of 200 million dol
lars additional for good roads in the
next thirty months, Missouri would
receive $6,781, ,257 and Kansas $5,-
745,356, according to the report of
the Senate Postal bill, filed in the SEN
ate today. This issin addition to the
regular federal aid appropriation of
$2,543,547 for Missouri and $2,151,-
436 for Kansas, so that the govern
ment proposes to put up more than 8
million dollars for Missouri roads
and almost million dollars for Kan
sas for the next thirty months.

PAVING PETITIONS ARE
READY FOR CITY COUNCIL
Matter Will Come up For Action at
Next Meeting of City
Dads

The paving petitions are completed
and contain the names of all property
owners effected with three or four
exceptions.
1t has been learned that only fifty
one per cent of the property owners
need sign to get action, but at the
present the percentage is almost 100.
The petition will be presented at
the next meeting of the city council,
and it is hoped to get the work under
way at an early date. Mayor Smith
has been ill and there has been no
meetings of the council or the matter
would have been up before now.
We can almost see the workmen
laying the brick right now and hope
that before many months we will be
able to cross a street without miring
down.

LENDS A PAINTING

"The Good Shepherd" a painting
by Mrs. Belle Vickers, late of Liberal,
Kansas, has been loaned to Friends
University by relatives into whose
possession it came at her death last
fall. This picture, which represents
Christ entering a sheepfold, carrying
lamb in his arms and followed by a
flock of sheep, has been declared to
be of unusual merit. 1t was painted
several years ago, when Mrs. Vickers
was teacher in Lowell Academy,
Lowell, Kansas. 1t occupies a prom
inent position on the walls of Russell
Hall, at the University.-Wichita

THE OLD BRICK INDUSTRY
MAY BE REVIVED SOMETIME
Brick Kilns of Early Days in Seward
County May Now Come
Back"

The agitation for better roads in
this section may be the means of re-
viving an industry that started in
this county many years ago, but
which has been overlooked of late
years.
We learn from old-timers here that
when old Springfield threatened to
become the metropolis of Kansas the
problem of building material was a
serious drawback. At that time the
railroads stopped several hundred
miles back, and it was an expensive
proposition to build a 12x14 shack
and haul the lumber that distance on
Yagons. Then it occurred to some
enterprising individual that brick
could be made from the material
found in the hills of Seward county,
and burning brick was fourishing
business for some time.
Lee Larrabee is probably RESPONSE
BILE for reviving the idea of making
brick from Seward county soil. He
says the brick used in the school
building which stood for years at
Springfield, was made in the canons
nearby, and that while the brick were
a trifie soft they held together well
and that after the building was torn
down they were hauled away and
again used for building.
A few of the live ones of Liberal
are getting their heads together or
the brick proposition and it is MOI
unreasonable to expect that buildings
in Liberal will be builded with bricl
made in the county.
Should the brick making industry
be revived it would be an easy solu.
tion of the matter of road building
for with the finished product ir
abundance right here in the county i
would be comparatively simple mat
ter to have an elaborate system O.
hard roads at a minimum cost ant
all the money be kept in the country
The matter of fuel is the only draw
back at this time, but with railroa,
Tunning from here to Springfield
Colorado, brick could be made her,
that would compete with those mad,
anywhere.

J. B. HARTER BROKE ARM
WHILE HAULING FEED

James B. Harter, an elderly man
living in South Liberal, felt one of the
disadvantages of the rough frozen
condition of the ground while work
ing in his field little more than a
week ago. Mr.. Harter was hauling
feed on a sled in his field adjoining
town when the sled struck frozen
rut and slid, thus throwing Mr.. Har-
ter, who was standing on the back
of the sled, to the ground, which re-
suited in the breaking of his left arm
just below the shoulder The break
was quite a severe one, but is getting
along nicely at this time.

A PREDICTION FROM YE
OLDEN DAYS THAT FLUNKED
Boston (Colorado) World Foretold
Death of Liberal-But Missed

Editor S. M. Konkel of the Spring
field, Colorado, Herald, is running
a column clipped from the "early
day" papers in that section. 1t is
about the most interesting reading
one could imagine. The way those
papers talked about rival towns was
caution. In the last issue of the
Herald was short item regarding
Liberal, taken from the Boston World
of May II, 1888, as follows:
''The Seward County Democrat
comes to US from the now booming
town of Liberal. The Democrat is a
booming paper, but it's our guess it
and Liberal will both be dead long
before the final roll call.-World,
May II, 1888"
The editor of the Herald then adds
paragraph like this:
eve have gone thirty years along
towards the final roll call-and Lib
eral has less thought of going dead
than she did even in her early boom
ing days.
AS we understand it, that buxom
city in the last few years has out
grown all its old clothes, and is now
too big for any hand-me-down suits.
There is still Democrat at Lib
eral and we presume it to be the same
Democrat that was there thirty years
ago."
To which we will add that, while
the present Democrat is not the one
referred to by the World, it is just as
hopeful for the future as was the
Democrat of olden, times. Our mind
hardly runs back far enough to see
conditions in those days. About that
time we were learning the difference
between o. and @. in a little old
frame school house in sunny Florida
but we came to Southwest Kansas
some thirteen years ago and the
changes that have taken place in that
time convince us that we made nc
mistake in choosing location.
