MAN WHO UNDERSTANDS TIRE
WEST.

The presidential contest Is not go
ing TO be on party lines but will re-
volve about the difference In eastern
and western ideals.
In every great national crisis the
eyes OF the people have turned TO u
man OF administrative and executive
ability from the west.
At the beginning OF the civil war
the east and south were in the sad
die. A western president and west
ern generals restored the nation.
The man of the west stands for
action and not for theories nor for
mere representation of wealth in ma
tional affairs.
1t Is In the west that true Ameri-
can push. enterprise and indomitablc
spirit OF doing things still prevails.
We cannot dissociate our country
from the part II took in the great
European war nor abandon our coun-
try 90 a spineless policy.
There is one candidate who fills
the Imagination of the American
people from the standpoint of yirile
western Americanism
That candidate Ia General Leonard
Wood, trained and drilled In active
less ard quick 10 act.
He took his army rank as surgeon
but he never went into campaign
that he did not demand TO be placed
In active duty at the front
Fighting the Apaohes on the Mex
lean border. in the Spanish war, and
In the Philippines he did not haunt
the hospitals but fought
In civilian training camps, At
Camp Funston. in Cuba, in Porto
Rico, at Manila he held no office
snecures but tackled the hard jobs
Everywhere he showed little re
spect for red tape but great respect
for securing results. whether il was
laying sewers or Staying fevers.
That kind OF n president. without
show of arms rattling of swords, will
command respect OF all powers.
AS an Indian fighter. an official
a soldier an organizer, an admins
traitor. a patriot, or a statesman
he is sound and clean and can stan-
the piercing searchl!ght of The Am
erican ideal.

APOLOGIES TO BR'ER RABBIT
Field Mouse. Not Bunny, 10 Anathennsa tlxed GIrdler of Trees, According
 to Eastern Expert

An official of the state fish and game commission informs us that we are un- just to the rabbit in ascribing to him all the girdling of fruit trees which has been going on In these parts lately. Our informant says, observes a writer In the Ohio State Journal, that the field mouse Is responsible for more than 50 per cent of this damage and we hasten to tender our sincere apologies to the rabbit. whose feelings we would not hurt for the world, and are quick to give the guilty field mouse his just share of censure.
 Field mice, 1t seems have the inde- fensible habit of burrowing among the roots of small fruit trees In the fall, hollowing out warm place. as field mice estimate warmth. and spending the winter there. When they get hun- gry and nothing else Is available. they shin up little way and eat the bark of the tree cunningly making tooth marks almost exactly like rabbits and thus throwing editors and other ex- perts oil the scent. The rabbits are not wholly without sin. but 49 per cent sinner averages up fairly well with the rest of us Moreover. the rabbit may easily be foiled in his lapses from grace by placing a piece of tar paper about two feet in height. or 6 piece of wire netting around the base of each young fruit tree. Perhaps this e1pedient. like other prohibitory meas ures, does not build character in the rabbit, but 1t does in the orchardist. Nothing. we understand, can be done about the field mice unless one stays at the foot of the tree and catches them. They are lost in sin.

USE DOGS AS SMUGGLERS Animals Aid Illicit Dealers In erlno- Ing Liquor and Drugs Into the
 United States.

Training dogs to smuggle liquor across the Rio Grande river is the latest device of ingenious minds of those who make living by means of illicit importation to the United States of liquor and drugs. That In- novation in line running came to light at El Paso, Tex, recently when Mexican river guard shot dog smuggler" in the act of swimming the Rio Grande with four bottles Of tequila, a Mexican liquor of cactus distillation. tied across his back.
 The dog, as the story of the serv- ice to his master Is told by United States customs men, had been mak- ing nightly trips between Juarez and El Paso with contraband goods for several months. The strange. but regular, actions of the animal first were noted by customs officers about two months ago. Beginning at two o'clock in the morning, the dog would begin his operations. Signal lights flashed by confederates in the gang of smugglers stationed on each side Of the river always preceded the dogs trip across stream. Dashing out of a cluster of squalid adobe houses along the Mexican side of the river, the ani- nal would plunge into the Rio Grande with his load.
 Emerging on the American side, the 'smuggler" always was successful in eluding pursuers, who often sought to lasso the dog, being loath to shoot an unsuspecting law violatOr.

Curlous Experience.

Perhaps one of the most curious ex- periences which ever fell to the lot of a man was one which happened to MT. Priestly, who was the geologist to the first Shackleton expedition to the South pole, and later was geologist to the Scott expedition. The party ashore at Cape Royds .on the first Shackleton expedition were at dinner when the Nimrod arrived to take them off. They were obliged to leave their meal and 20 aboard the ship immediately. Three years later Priestly returned to Cape Royds with Scott. and going ashore en- tered the hut. and completed the meal which he had commenced in 1907. He tells that the food was in exactly as good condition as 1t was on the day he laid his knife and fork down. This fact Is accounted for owing to the dry ness of the atmosphere. During the three years that the hut had been unin. habited the intense cold had frozen the food, thus preserving 1t.

FOUND NEW LAND OF GOLD
New York Mining Man Reports Rich Discoveries Made In the Mines of Colombia.

A new gold region has been discov- cred in Colombia, according to J. ". Priest, a mining man, who arrived at New York from Santa Marta, Colom- bia.
 MT. Priest said that some time ago he was told by Frenchman, who said he was a government employee, of fabulous wealth that lay hidden in the mines of Colombia. MT. Priest, ac- companied by his wife and O. L.. Logue, mining engineer, visited Colombia recently and spent his time in visiting various sections. After landing at Cartagna. Ar. Priest said, he and his companions went up the Magdalena river 25O miles and disembarked, going overland through a mountainous country for 6o miles.
 At the end of the journey, MT. Priest said, they found vast gold fields which had never been actively developed because of the absence of the proper machinery. He said this is accounted for by the lack of transit facilities. 1t being a most difficult matter to ship material of any kind to this point.

EIovvers Feared by Witches.

Witches, of course, must be exclud- ed from the house. The Chinese bring this about-or think they do, which amounts to the same thing-by sus pending punches of herbs and magic plants over the door. Tn England haw- thorn used to be hung over the en- trance to a house in May to ward off witches. On May day the witches, as well as the fairies, are in the gorge, so choose some other time for burn ing 1t. If you don't believe there are any witches there are Dutch folk who will tell you to carry a four-leaf clover on Christmas eve and let your own eyes convince you.

Will Use RIfiea of Veternna-

Rifles that were actually used by United States marines against the Huns in France at Belleau wood, Soissons, St. Mihiel, Champagne or in the Argonne will be issued to recruits who never saw fight when the big job just begun at the marine corps dc pot of supplies at Chicago is finished.
 All the rifles used by marines in France have been turned in at the de pot to be reflnished and repaired. So well did their bearers care for them that most of them can be used again.
 When they come out of the gunshop as good as new they will be issued to recruits, who will be inspired by the knowledge that they carry the same rifles that were used in the world war.

 Brown was taken of his feet when this question was first propounded. No. he didn't know of a barber shop around. His ranch Is we'll up in the mountains. one of the most beautiful places In the islands.

Boys Prayer a Gem.

Ex-Governor Stone of Pennsylvania, who has just passed away, was great lover of horses.
 His pet, as a youth, was colt named Midnight,
 When Midnight-still a colt-died, as the result of tumble, the boy was inconsOlable.
 He tells in his autobiography. "The Tale of Plain Man," about the fu- neral he conducted in solitude over the body of his four-footed friend.
 "I had no book. but I knelt down over his body and tried to say a prayer. ..-
 'T prayed: oh, Lord, if there is a horse heaven, let Midnight go to 1t. l hope there is, as l want to see Mid night again. Make we as good boy as Midnight was colt
