THE HUGoToN HERMES
One of the Best Printers and News
paper Men in The Southwest
New Owner


The Hugoton Hermes this week
announces the sale of the paper to
w. F. Hubbard of near Moscow. Mr.,
Hubbard will assume charge in time
to get out the next issue Of the Her.
mes.
Mr.. Hubbard is not unacquainted
in Liberal. It was he, who with his
brother, started the Liberal indie
pendent, fourteen years ago. W. F.
was in charge of the mechanical end
and his brother was the editor. When
the paper was sold to Abe X. Stou-
fer w. F. Hubbard engaged in the
mercantile business, selling out dur
ing the war to go to farming. He
made good in the mercantile bust
mes and proved himself capable
farmer. Many times the Democrat
has begged him to take a position
on this paper, but he always said he
had rather work for himself.
AS printer Hubbard is a wonder
he is fast, accurate and competent.
AS a newspaper man he is also in his
element, for he is good writer and
as square as they make them.
The Hermes will now take its place
with the good papers Of the South
west for Hubbard is the man who
can make it do it.
We are glad he is again in the
game for he will be booster for the
southwest because he has made good
in different activities and is a be-
lever in the country.
Here's the glad hand, Bill, we hope
you never have cause to regret your
action.

OBITUARY.

Galloway Queen was born Septem-
Der 20, 1882, at Gainesville, Texas,
and died Feb. II, 1921, at Liberal,
Kas. He is survived by wife and
three children, mother and sis
ter.
Galloway Queen came to Beaver
county in April the year 1904 and
filed on homestead. Just the
year before he married Miss Bonnie
Deshazo and here on this claim they
established a home. Mr.. Queen wal
Industrious an was considered goot
farmer. At least he prospered ant
today the family owns well improv
ed 800 acre farm and residential
property in Liberal.
During the several years residence
in Beaver county the Queens became
favorably known to the people ir
their neighborhood and in the city Of
Liberal. Mr.. Queen was companions
able and considered a good business
man. He may have had his weak
nesses but his good points were more
prominent and many people will at
test that he was a good citizen.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by the Rev. A. E. Henry Of the
Methodist church and the body was
laid to rest in the Liberal cemetery

the interest of the insurance COM
panies and the employers than in the
interest of the workmen who are sup
posed to get protection under it and
these members were preparing to
offer a flood Of amendments that
might completely change the bill or
result in its being killed.
Also, it appeared Saturday that
the state highway commission had its
knife out for the agricultural con-
solidation measure. And it was said
the administration forces were not
lining up solidly behind it.
This bill, which was conceived
first by Rep. w. P. Lambertson
would abolish the state highway
commission as well as the office of
state highway commissioner and
would put the work Of the commits
sion under the direction Of the pre-
posed agricultural senate" and the
agricultural commissioner. Lambert
son and Greenleaf and the other
members Of the commission that DRAFT
ted the bill took the stand the farm
ers of the state were more indirectly
interested in the roads and highways
than any other class Of people and
that for this reason the highway COM
Missions work should be directly I'M
der their supervision. However,
there are members of the highway
commission who do not desire this
and who are expected to join in the
general fight on the measure.
Lambertson has already served no
tice that I the consolidation bill fails
of passage the farmers can lay the
bltme at the door of the Allen ad-
ministration and that it will bob up
as campaign issue at the next cleo
ton. And with this to faces along
with the general rural impression
that too much attention has been de-
voted to industrial questions and not
enough to agricultural problems, the
administration is expected to try to
make a showing and to make it eyi-
dent that it earnestly desires passage
of the bill. But with opposition COM
ing from many quarters and with
signs of rebellion in the administra-
chance that nothing will be done
ton ranks there appears to be every
indication of bitter fight anda good
along this line.
Saturday the upper house killed
the Badger bill to provide coopera-
tive marketing system to aid the
farmers in disposing of their crops
to the best advantage and it it likely
that the senate will either kill, or
emasculate the cooperative banking
bill. Such acton would leave nothing
for the administration to boast Of If
the consolidation bill should be killed
and would greatly add to the general
dissatisfaction which representative
Martin of Hutchinson says has caus-
nothing body that ever assembled
sent legislature as the greatest edo
ed the people to look upon the pres
in Topeka.
The house Of representatives Sat
urday turned its attention again to
matters polite and after string of
arguments recommended for passage
the Hasty-Mann bill that would re-
quire an affidavit ofipart affiliation
before a voter would be allowed to
vote in a primary and that is sought
to keep Democrats from going into a
Republican primary. This bill was
opposed by C. s. Ritter of Allen and
W. P. Lambertson Of Brown and E.
P. Pendleton of Franklin, all Re-
publicans, but the administration
forces supported it and succeeded in
putting it over.
