in Geary county is going on and
great deal of hauling is being done
during the present cool weather.
Flint sufficient to build the rest of
the road has been received from the
Joplin territory and now Is being
distributed to various points along
the route. Sand and rock also are
being accumulated in big quantities
and platforms are being built In
which to stack the thousands of
sacks Of cement that will be need
ed. 1t is planned to complete the
remaining four miles Of highway IN
ninety days.
Work will begin on the Dickinson
end from Pyke school house to De-
troit as soon as spring opens and as
grading is well along will probably
be completed by midsummer. Then
will remain only the gap from De-
troit to the county line for which pc
titions are approved and federal aid
given to complete the road from

MERCER is OPTIMISTIC
Sees Kansas Livestock Industry In
"Conie Back"

J. H. Mercer, secretary of the
Kansas Live Stock association, takes
an optimistic view Of the live stock
industry.
although there has been no i'm
provement in the market prices Of
livestock, the shorter supplies have
steadied the market and it is the
general belief that the worst Is
over" he declared. "At any rate,
financial conditions are slightly
improved.
II believe that the livestock in
dustry is now on a more stable foun-
dalton today than almost any other
industry. Prices are rock bottom
and loans based on this low price
level are safer than they have been
for six years. Cattle paper should
now be better than most any other
security IL 1t is based upon present
values. A cattle loan transferred to
a man who has an abundance Of
feed should be 40 per cent better
than 1t originally was and should be
mighty acceptable"

SAYS ]. G. WAS MISQUOTED
Judge Huggins Corrects Statement
Regarding Miller's Case

The ruling OF the Kansas court OF
industrial re1ations following ctta-
ton Of seven Topeka millers for d.
minishing production has been
grossly misquoted, particularly In
some eastern newspapers, according
to W. L. Higgins, presiding judge
Of the court.
The report was circulated that the
court ordered the millers to keep
their skilled employees on the pay
roll even In time Of industrial de-
preston. Judge Higgins, who wrote
the opinion, has been busy answer
ing inquiries, one of which was from
Prof. william r. Vance Of the Yale
School Of Law.
Through gross Interpretations ap-
parently an altogether erroneous
conception Of the opinion has be-
come public" said Judge Higgins.
"The Kansas court Of Industrial re-
lations acted as an investigating
body in the millers' case. 1t was
not a trial. Findings were made
and served upon the parties in COM
pliance with the provision Of the in
dustrial court act. That part of the
opinion which relates to labor Is In
reality a commentator Of rule al.
ready in existence In the Topeka
mills with the suggestion chat so
far as possible to do so, this rule
should be recognized in all the mills
OF the state"

Mr.. HOllinger sends us from Pasa-
dena this item: On Saturday even
ing, Jan. 1, Mr.. and Mrs. G. r. Hol-
linger entertained their immediate
friends and relatives at Pasadena.
Cal, with a New Years dinner. As
with the Christmas dinner at w. H.
Hollinger's, the prominent feature Of
the dinner was a large turkey raised
on the A. L. Hollinger ranch in the
San Joaquin Valley. Being return
entertainment the guest list was a
duplicate of the Christmas dinner.
In the early part Of the day the
crowd witnessed the annual New
Years Tournament Of Roses parade,
which Is held in Pasadena. This
was most gorgeous sight. Mil
lions Of cut flowers were used In
decorating the various floats. The
day was an ideal one. 1t is estimat-
ed that there were 400, 900 people in
the city; $4,000 Of which took in the
great Ohio California football game
in the afternoon. After day so
spent the crowd gathered at the c.

HAVING HARD PICKING HERE
Nom Partisan Paid Workers Resort to
Kitchen Meetings"

The paid workers Of the Non Par
tisan League are having hard pick
ing In Dickinson county. They get
the merry ha ha" from so many
farmers when they propose to take
SIS for a bunch Of hot air that they
are getting discouraged. Out In Gar
field they have been hold after night
Kitchen meetings" getting men to a
farm house and trying to push the
collection across. But that under
handed, after dark method does not
seem to take. II can vote as /
please without paying $1S to have a
bankrupt from North Dakota tell me
how" one farmer expressed 1t. An
other met the paid hireling who
called on him with, II don't have to
have any - from NOrth
Dakota charge me SIS to tell me
what to do,"-and he didn't join
either. One Of the crew in Dfckin-
son admitted that he gets $500 a
month and expenses-an easy snap
After a while when the crew has
moved on and taken its money along
1t will seem strange that even one
man in Dickinson would give up SIS
on such cheap skin game as Is be-
ing worked.
The Kansas City Star correspond
ent who has been doing good work
telling the people just what is going
on spent two days here but he left
Sunday evening. II have been dig
ging into all the facts in Dickinson
and guess 1t is poor ground for the
Leaguers. You seem to have too
sensible a class of farmers for them
to make headway-there Is no more
story here"
Townley has imported fifty paid
workers from North. Dakota to Sail
ma and is going to make a speech
there tonight. Also lot of red
blooded Kansas citizens. are going to
organize to drive the whole bunch
out Of the state. After that the
grasshopner visitation from North
Dakota will be put under small head

FEWER INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS
Decrease of 20 Per Cent is Noted By
J. H. Crawford

A decrease Of approximately 20
per cent in industrial accidents in
Kansas is indicated In the report
for 1920 issued today by John H.
Crawford, state labor commissioner.
The report shows 11S fatal and
1000 non-f fatal accidents FOR the
year as compared to 100 fatal and
1852 non fatal in 1919. Crawford
estimates rs per cent of the actual
accidents were reported last year as
compared to 60 per cent in 1919.
On this basis the number of acct
dents decreased fully 20 per cent,
which Crawford attributes to more
stringent enforcement Of the safety
laws through systematic factory
and mine inspection.

WHO OWNS THIS NATION?

Washington correspondents have
Of late been sending out good deal
Of political twaddle. Most of It
pertains to Secretary Hughes. Judg-
ing from its tenor Mr.. Hughes is the
whole works at the capital. They
would have their readers believe that
the foreign relations and policies OF
the United STATES are things which
Mr.. Hughes, and he alone, will inter
pref and decide. President Harding,
it would seem. was merely elected to
be a convenient rubber stamp for the
man over in the department of state.
The correspondents overlook a
most significant fact and that fact is,
that these United States are pretty
| big job for one man to handle. For
mer President Wilson thought he
could turn the trick Mr.. Wilson's
experience furnishes a lesson that no
prudent successor of his can afford
to ignore. We don't believe that Mr..
Harding will disregard it. With all
due respect for whatever ability Mr..
Hughes may have, the fact remains
that he's merely a presidential advis-
er, who was given his job not by the
people, but by the president. If any
thing should happen to go wrong in
the state department, President Hard
! ing, and not Mr.. Hughes, will be
brought to answer for it before the
bar of American public opinion, But
before either the president or his Sec
retary can wander far from the tradi
tional policies Of this country, If they
ever should attempt TO wander in the
wrong direction, the people are as,
sured of another safeguard. The
senate remains. In tbs connection,
the Springfield Republican quite ap-
lpropriately remarks: 49,
Senator Lodges forecast of the
presidents future policy in treaty
making, trayersine as 1t does the
pres dents own forecast in, h adj
dress to Congress. 4Schallenges Eli.
ropean as well as American atten.
ton The reminder conveyed by the
senator was that the president pro
poses hut the Senate disposes.
"Inasmuch as the nresidentfe adj.
Idress to Congress last month must
have reflected to a degree the views
tof Secretary Hughes, Mr.. Lodges
cool announcement OF different pro,
gram as probable makes Senator
Penrose's remark last winter seem
more like a prophecy 1t made no
difference, said Penrose, who was to
be secretary OF state the senate
in matters of fore On policy would
blaze the way 1t looks as il the
senate was on the job"

TIE NEWRERRY CASE

The decision of the United States
supreme court in the Newberry case
win meet the approval; Of the American
people when the smoke OF partisan
ship will have blown away 1t may be
true that Mr. Newberry's friends did
spend large sum of money in his
campaign for the senatorship, and
there. has been no evidence to prove
that Mr.. Ford S campaign managers
fiid not do likewise. Both men are
wealthy although the Newberry for
tune Is like a wart to afmountain in
comparison with that of Mr.. Ford
The Ford-Newberry campaign re-
solved itself into battle of dollars,
but there was this difference between
the contestants; Mr. Newberry is a
man of eminent political qualifications
and was the choice of the Republi-
cans of Michigan. Mr. Ford, a genius
in many respects, has absolutely nc
qualifications for the senate and he
would never have been thought of as
the cand date for the Democrats save
for two reasons First he Endorsed
the League of Nations-but probably
he didn't know why--hence he, in
turn was Endorsed by Mr., Wilson.
Second, Michigan's Democrats are
scarcely more numerous than Yer.
mont's; a senatorial nomination on
the Democratic ticket never appeals
to really big Wolverines, and the
Democratic organization needed
money to carry on the canvass. Mr.
Ford looked good to them in therole
of an @angel" and he fell for their
Establishments Without his bank
account the Democratic managers Of
Michigan would never have thought
of MIR. Ford in connection with a
POLITICAL oilice
However the country is to be con-
graduated. The late President Roose-
Iyelt's secretary of the navy-Mr.
Newberry-will assume his place in
the United States senate as the
worthy choice of the people of Michi-
gan and Mr. Ford will remain in De-
tro,t, where he can devote his ener-
gies to the manufacture of the best
car for the money in the world.
