DEMOCRATIC TICKET
IS GAINING IN WEST

The Democratic ticket is steadily
gaining strength in the West, in the
Judgment Of Representative James
F. Byrnes, Of South Carolina, who
has returned to Washington after a
tour of the West.
"After visiting California, Ore
gon, Washington. Wyoming, Monta-
ma and other Western States" said
Representative Byrones, 81 am con-
fident that Cox will carry nearly all
of the states carried by President
Wilson four years ago. Where a
year ago the Republicans confident
ly claimed all of the West, they now
admit that it is horse race in that
section of the country. Westemers
regard Senator Harding as the can
didate of Penrose and believe the
old Guard were so confident of
winning that they concluded to risk
one who had always proved true to
them. The independent Westerner
is asking what the Senator has ever
done to justify his selection. They
say that instead of platform, the
Republicans at Chicago constructed
a fence and on the fence placed a
straddler Viewing Cox's record,
they expect him to knock the Re-
publican candidate off the fence be-
fore the campaign is over.
Democrats admit that prior to
the Republican convention the Re-
publicans seemed to have the better
chance, but since the convention

AFRICA HAS MODEL VILLAGE
Founded by Cecil Rhodes in 1889, Near
Kimberley, and Is Called
kenilworth.

A model village, giving better
housing conditions to some of the
white employees of the DeBeers
trust, is in sharp contrast to the ma
tives' 'HTin Can town." on the oppo-
site edge of Kimberley.
The village, called Kenilworth,
has 125 houses, with low rents, wa
ter supply and electric lights.
Houses are low brick bungalows,
housing two families separately.
They are well kept, with white, spa
cious porches, trellised with flowers
and vines, each with prim, white
fence inclosing a garden.
There are wide sidewalks and
streets, each side haping double rows
of evergreen trees. In addition there
are rows of grapevines on Siege ave-
nue., which is mile long.
The model village was founded by
Cecil Rhodes in 1889. 1t has cleo
trio tram service to Kimberley and
the mines, a school, church, recrea-
ton club, tennis and athletic
grounds, rifle club, nurseries, a
public orchard and vegetable garden.

Thess Afflicted with Die
eased Minds.

In all of China's 400, 900, 900 pop
ulation there is but one insane asy-
lum. This is because the Chinese
still believe that an insane person is
''but possessed Of The devil" and not
subject TO medical cure.
This is the disclosure brought to
this country by DR.. Charles G. Sell
den of Erie, Pa, who has returned
from the Orient after % years sev-
ice there. He was superintendent
Of the John @. Kerr Hospital for In
sane at Canton, where some 600 per-
sons are continually being treated
for insanity.
Doctor -Selden will direct cam
paign in this country with view Of
returning to the Orient and estab-
fishing another hospital. Doctor
Kerr, who founded the present instr
tuition, died in 1898 and turned over,
his work before that time to Doctor
Selden.
"There are but few cases Of in
sanity caused by alcohol" said Doc
tor Selden. "Many women become
insane through jealousy and cruel
treatment in their home life.
"Insane people, not violent, are al
lowed at large through China. If
violent, the families hold them pris-
oners, sometimes claiming them.
One woman was chained to a post
for IL years."

PAMPHLET PROVES BOOMERANG

The public would no doubt find a
certain Republican pamphlet, recent
ly suppressed by Chairman Hays.
most interesting reading. The theme
was alleged waste and extravaganza
in the conduct of the war, and the
writer is sid to have been vitriolic in
his attacks on Government officials.
But lot Of the bombs landed in the
Republican camp. 1t turned out that
many of the officials attacked were
men high in the councils Of the G. O.
p, men who have been in the habit
of making liberal contributions to Re-
publican campaign funds.
These Republicans protested SO
loudly that Chairman Hays heard
them. They objected to being lam
basted in their party literature, on
the one hand, and being approached
for campaign donations on the other
AS the upshot, announcement comes
from G. o. p. headquarters that the
pamphlet will not be distributed.

A DIRT FARMER

"Tama Jim" Wilson died at his
home in Tama county, Iowa, August
26th, full of years and honors.
He was for 16 years secretary of
agriculture. He began his service
under Mckinley in March, 1897, and
he was retained throughout the Nc
Kinley, Roosevelt and Taft admins
trations. No man in our history
ever served for such a long period
continuously in the cabinet and no
man in our history rendered such a
distinguished service to the agricul-
ture Of the nation.
A couple of months since, Gov
ernor Cox, the democratic nominee
for president, made the remark to
would make real dirt farmer sec
rotary Of agriculture. 1t was rath-
er an unfortunate remark for Mr..
Cox. 1t gave Warren G.. Harding
the republican nominee, an oppor-
tunity to recall to the minds of the
people the fact that under republic
can administration "Tama JIM" a
real dirt farmer, was secretary of ag-
riculture for 16 years, but when the
democrats came into power they
very promptly kicked out this real
dirt farmer and put university
professor in who knew nothing and
seemed to care less about the farmer
and farming.
When "Tama Jim" became secre-
tary of agriculture there were 2444
employees Of the department, doing
administrative rather than promo
tional work. The democratic sec
rotary who preceded him looked up
o nthe work of the department as a
Joke. When "Tama Jim" returned
to the farm 16 years later, the de-
partment was employing over $4,000
men. He had dignified and popu-
larized agriculture. He had intro
duced valuable plants from all over
the world; he had discovered sure
preventive for hog cholera; he had
developed a sure test for tubercu-
losis;. he had started the great re-
clamation projects; ne had done a
thousand things for agriculture
which the people of the country new
er heard OF and never will fully ap-
preciate.
No candidate for president has
shown a more appreciative interest Of
our agricultural problems than
Warren G. Harding. Himself born
on a farm, he knows the farmers
life and the farmers needs. When
he is president we will again have
as secretary OF agriculture a man
whose heart is with the people Of
the open country.
