One thing is certain and that is
the Republican National Conven-
tion will take a firm stand for
Americanism as against the diverse
and sundry foreign isms which
have permeated the very soul of
this country. And if the Demo
Gratis fail to take as firm a stand
and at this time it looks very much
as though they would not-the
division this fall will not be along
the old time party lines but rather
on the one side those who believe
in the ideals and traditions of free
government, and on the other side
those who would try out a number
of foreign schemes.

Democrat Seems to
Want PaternaliSm

Senator Walsh, Democrat, of
Massachusetts,, advocates Federal
operation of retail stores as
means of reducing the high cost
of living. When the nation is
slowly emerging from riot OF
Government manipulation OF
everything, this New England
Democrat would impose new re-
strictions on private initiative
that would only add to the burdens
of the people. If the effects of
government meddling with private
enterprises could be suddenly re-
moved, normal conditions would
be almost completely restored.
The present high cost of living can
be attributed principally to govern
ment mismanagement of our cur
rency system, of our railroads, and
of food production and distribu-
tlon, and to its extravagant ex-
penditure of the peoples money
in the conduct of the war. Had
these unnatural interferences with
our industrial structure never oc-
Cured, even though the war itself
had not been avoided, the most of
the abnormal increase in living
costs would never have developed.
Over and over again it has been
demonstrated that Government
operation cannot compete in eff
cheney with private operation, and
to turn retail sales over to the
Government would be an intoler-
able aggravation of present bur-
dens.

Every business, large or small,
that has been established in Amer

profits of business. The owner of
the Woolworth 5 and 10 cent stores
began with no capital except his
own energy; but by the severest
economy he saved from his earn
ings, invested those earnings in
business. saved the profits of the

Lyman Abbott, young man Of
eighty five, is editor-in -in-chisf of the

called for.
DR.. Charles W. Elliott, another

University. President Wilson
chose him as one of the twenty
two men to represent the public

In the eighty-fve list there is
Chauncey M. Depew. Mr.. Depew
is living example of just how
much a stomach can stand up un-
der when put to the test, as he is
the recognized dean of all ban
queters. He is also acting today
as attorney for some of the biggest
railroad organizations in the coun-
try.
When it comes to kids, we might
mention in passing, John Bur
roughs, the leading naturalist of
the world, who is only eighty-two,
also William Dean HowelIs, the
we'll known author who is the
same age. Everett P. Wheeler,
lawyer and writer is SO young and
vigorous at seventy nine that his
friends never even think of him
as being old, much less suggest it.
Men who want to loaf, grow old
and place themselves on the re-
tired list at sixty or seventy will
continue to do SO. Men who have
broader visions and clearer con.
ceptions will one of these days live
and work until they are 100 years
old, and then quietly leave this
world for broader field Of action,
just as it is intended they should
do.

something good in each number for
someone in the audience. AS a

not more than 800 all told. An ef-

local people want a Chautauqua and
are willing to back one but the OBJ
lection is to the form of the contract
which is being used. 1t is all in favor
ofthe Chautauqua company and does
not give the local committee any
chance, expecting to pay the guaran-
tee and also turn over the greater
share of the daily admission receipts
to the company. Under the contract
there is no chance for the local com
mittee to create a surplus fund which
could be used on years when bad
weather or lack of attendance would
prevent the receipts from paying ex-
penses.

G. A. Holtzinger was up from the
east side of the county last Friday.
He reports wheat making from twen-
ty to thirty bushels per acre in that
part of the county. The quality is as
good as the yield.
E. D. Nef, who lives seven miles
southwest of WaKeeney, says the
wheat is all good in that vicinity.
He threshed one field of forty acres
which made a yield of twenty-eight
bushels per acre.
In the vicinity of the church from
eight to twelve miles south of Wa
Keeney the wheat is yielding from
fifteen to thirty-fve bushels per acre
with an average of twenty-three to
twenty-five bushels. Oats have made
from fifty to sixty bushels and barley
from forty to fifty bushels. The
quality is first class.

HOW CAN INDUSTRIES LIvE7

Those who are responsible for the
management of industries have a
choice collection of motty problems
to solve
The American Federation of Labor
demands constantly increasing scale
of wages.
The I. W. w. demand constantly
shorter hours and reduction of produc-
ton by sabotage
The Socialists demand that all en-
ployment be by the state and that
profits and wages be abolished.
The communists demand that the
workers own and manage the indus
tries without capitalists or bosses.
The Non-Partisan League demands
that the state take over and operate
all big business for the benefit of the
farmers
The politicians demand more Offices
and increased taxes and lifelong
jobs at the expense of the taxpayer.
The man at the cash counter end of
q payroll has to stop and do some
thinking once IN . while.
