oRANoERlsM AND TowNLEy
r. II. Kane Offers . Few Thoughts
on Affairs


Editor Reflector: ! VIA very much
interested in your editorial "The Liar
Wins" taken from G. +. Scott, pub
lished in your issue of May Fl, 1921
Time mellows all things with the
exception Of the spleen OF standpai
politicians.
was interested because It revives
memories Of a time when, az boy,
rode to the farthest limits of Dick
inson county to discuss the "Green-
back Question"
Mr.. SCOTS story about Sam
Woods speech may be true; but II ii
be the colonel's admission was not
made seriously, but as a sarcastic
answer to mis- critics. 1t is rather
late for Mr.. Scott, or any other I'M
regenerate politician to spring this
kind of stuff on people who know
better :.
Sam Wood did not have to make
misstatements upon that subject be-
cause the records were full of ma
terial to prove the truth Of every
statement he made.
The woods were full Of Greenback
orators in those days and they back,
ed up their facts and figures from
the public records. doubt that
there was body Of men from Peter
Cooper down who were ever better
able to sustain their position on poll
teal issues than the Greenbackers of
the 7O's and SOS. 1t is historical
fact that there were very few Of the
opposition who could successfully
contend with them on the public ros-
trum.
And coming down to present day
politics and economies, Mr.. SCOTS
reference to Townley and LANCER
bears some OF the same marks Of I'M
certainty.
l have taken no interest in the
Non Partisan League and Mr.. Town
ley stands convicted to some degree
Of unpatriotism, which gives him no
standing with me. But IL Mr.. LANCER
is spreading the same kind of stuff
in Kansas that he furnished the Re
publican party in Colorado last fall
the application made to him by
Townley, as reported by Mr.. Scott.
is not very far short Of the correct
mark. The state which Mr.. LANCER
represents seems to have been the
only state in the west which made
any effort to reduce the burden of
taxation to its people and that under
Non Partisan rule.
I notice that Mr.. Scott's state Is
complaining very bitterly Of the in
crease in the burdens of expense and
taxation. Your sister state, Color
ado, seems to be right up in line
with you.
Does Mr.. Scott know that the Nom
Partisans of North Dakota remem-
bered its boys who fought on
"Flanders Fields" out of it's tax
budget? But he does know that his
Republican state of Kansas forgot
hers completely; and I am sorry to
say that Colorado did the same.
1 do not want you to consider
this a political article for this writer
is out of politics.-Robert H. Kane,

NEW ROAD is NOW OPEN
Can Drive to Detroit on Pavement
Work Goes Forward

The new hard surfaced road to
Detroit was opened Monday and the
cleaning up of the shoulders and
bitches is in progress. The work Is
praised by all and Ziegler & Dalton,
the contractors, have given the cOun-
ty road equal to any in the coun-
try, east or west. 1t is model and
the people of the district are very
proud of it. The contractors who
have the Detroit Chapman road are
busily at work east of Detroit and
expect to finish that section this
year.
Cloud county has decided definite
ly to "stick in the mud" which al
lows some more federal aid to be
distributed and Dickinson will proba-
bly, be able to get enough to com
plete the three mile gap between
Chapman and the county line to coll
meet with the Geary road.

ABILENE ALWAYS "HoME"
J. II. EngIc Tells o. His New Work
and Plans

|
"Where are you going, and why,
and what are you going to dor"
They're ringing the changes on
this three-f fold question on every
hand" said ]. II. Engle who return
ed to Topeka and last night left for
his new field Of work in Michigan.
II suppose my neighbors have a
right to know SO you may tell them
il you wish. The answer runs
about like this:
I'm going to Michigan where
assemble the scattered parts of the
state Sunday school organization in
new headquarters at Lansing.
I'm going voluntarily and after
an urgent request by the Kansas
committee to reconsider my decision.
1.-THE foundations Of Michigan
were laid by a sturdy type Of earnest
Yankee pioneers with high ideals OF
school and church and state-and
this influence is reflected in Ann
Arbor and score Of other institu-
tons. This appeals to me. The later
foreign immigration also was Of the
highest type.
1.-The state wide Sunday school
consciousness has been somewhat re-
tarded in Michigan, through personal
and other causes but the state now
offers the most inviting prospect on
this continent for constructive piece
of work.
1.-THE International officers advised
a favorable consideration Of the call.
81 may reasonably expect to ex-
tend my professional tenure Of SER
vice by tackling new job rather
than to grow old en- an old one.
ut is easier to avoid errors in
methods and policy in a new field
than to remedy them in an old one.
Few men are wise enough to spend
life time in one spot. A new task
dustry and initiative.
AT the best some people like a |
new voice and a new personality to
lead them. This mental demand
should be gratified. A man has just
so much time and energy to invest.
1t should be invested where there is
the minimum Of negative attitudes,
Familiarity breds contempt. A
new broom sweeps clean. Many a
resignation in school and church is
now overdue.

with the International organization

of population. .(Mr. Engle is mem

How an American girl danced in a Russian convent, thereby shocking and then inspiring the religious sister hood. is one of the many interesting stories told of Lada. the dancer who is to- appear at the Grand tomorrow evening under the auspices of the Musical Events club.

Dr. Simons, German foreign secretary. on Monday will read a statement desfga,- ed to refute the argument made by Premier Lloyd George before the con. ference Thursday This statement probably will be followed by counter proposals. which even the most op- timistic of the German delegation do not believe the allies will accept.
 In such event. the reparations con ference will break up. the German delegates will return home and the penalties outlined by Lloyd George will be enforced.
 Germans Draw Up Reply
 Dr. Simons and his colleagues. in collaboration with the Berlin cabinet have spent most of the time since da- livery of the ultimatum in drawing up a reply. He will present figures in an endeavor to prove Lloyd Georges statement respecting Ger man taxation was inaccurate, and will ask the allies to suggest means whereby >Germany can meet their economic demands He will point out that while the German income tax is small, German incomes are propor- tionately small
 The amount the Germans assert has been paid on account of repara- tions will be re-stated
