aire of this town who has so much
money the rats build nests in it. And
George Peery's war record is one of
interchangeable personal service and
generous contributions of money.
He was food Administrator for Taze-
well County under Herbert Hoover;
he made scores of speeches in diff
ferent parts of the County in various
Red Cross and Liberty Loan drives,
and devoted himself whole-hearted-
ly to the wartime duties of patri-
otto citizen, without thought Of re-
ward or financial loss. Mr.. Slemp
also has a splendid war record, bn.
it will be recalled that his salary of
$1,000 n year was not suspended by
the government. 1t is recalled. too,
that when the war was over and the
faces of the Tazcwell boys who
didn't come back were remembered,
and n movement was started to hon
or their memory with memorial OF
some kind, George c. Pcery was the
only man in Tazewell who offered to
encourage the movement with cash
subscription. This act Of his, which
is not IA rumor but fact, should seal
with shame the lips of those who in
sinuate that he is not in sympathy
with the cause of the boys who
fought in the war.

And yet Mr.. Slemp makes the I'M
qualified statement that along lines
of personal service and generosity
the Democratic candidates record is
"a blank. II is "A reasonable prcsump-
ton that Mr.. Slmp reflects the opin-

ignorance is no excuse for misrepre-

will iisavow his unjust and unfair
attack on stainless gentleman, who
has always stood, stands now. and
always will stand OH a plane above

ROCK ISLAND LINES
PRAcTICING ECONOMY

That the railroads are practicing
economy in many ways, not generally
realized by the public, is shown in a
recent report just issued by the Rock
Island lines, dealing with reclama-
ton and conservation of materials,
generally supposed to go to the scrap
heap as dead loss.
The report shows that the Rock
Island, during the last year, has re-
claimed material which represents
saving Of $425,oO0. This is the

is KANSAS PURITAN?
BY Elmer T. Peterson
in Wichita Beacon

"What we lack most keenly is a
sense of beauty and the love of it,"
says William Allen White in "The
Nation" writing about Kansas.
Just listen to the scornful snort
that arises from Mount Dread to the
Point of Rocks in the southwest cor
ner of Kanas-from Pittsburg Nor

from Ottawa, Topeka, Lindsborg,

son, Atchison, Baldwin, Dodge City,

ial, sold the unusable material for
-1,427,ss7.
This material was gathered along
the 5000 miles of the railroad by en-
ployes of the Rock Island, including
section forces, agents, trainmen,
shopmen and others who have been
enlisted in the program Of economy
on this road.
The success of the system of recla-
nation on the Rock island has been
SO marked that other railroads are
sending their representatives to the
Silvis reclamation plant with the view
of adopting a like system.

The numerous and devious ways
in which the people of Kansas are
still donating the wheat, corn, cattle,
fruit, and other earnings to the pro-
fesional highlander and itinerant
swindler is almost beyond belief.
While the Blue Sky Board does its
best to stop these operations and has
done much good there are innumera-
BILE cases it cannot reach, and many
Others where the persons swindled re-
fuse to prosecute when the case
comes to trial. Quite respectable
army, respectable in size only, still
lives by its wits in Kansas. And
every now and then we see the name
of banker, who knows just what
he is doing, on the directorate of a
concern that is organized for swind-
ling purposes to which the banker
knowingly lends his name for con-
sideration and for aid in the swlnd-
ling.
What the farmers of Kansas need
to learn to protect themselves against
these shrewd sharpers is that far
mer is farmer, not an investment
expert. Farming is good business.
It has been hard the past two years
but so have many other lines, AS a
class there is no more fortunate
people in America than the farmers,
But they have fallen victims OF the
| speculative tendency of the times and
they are permitting themselves to be
robbed in the name of investment
We would like to see the farmers
take this up among themselves, IN
their. own organizations, and stop
the swindling system rampant in Kan
sas.

ported great oratorio society forty
years. This is not triumph for
Lindsborg alone. 1t would not have
been possible if the whole state had
not been we'll imbued with the love of
the artistic so as to furnish the nee
essary financial support out of its
hot wind and grasshopper days. In
artistic excellence this chorus is
given the highest rank in the country
by metropolitan critics. Today, Eas-
ter Sunday, the highways surround
ing this little town are swarming
with automobiles, and crowds will be
turned away at the performances.
This afternoon a great violinist Is
there holding forth, playing Bruch,
Moskowski, Pagananini-for pay.
Last Sunday Margaret Matzenauer
sang in the same hall and admission
was charged. She sang from Mozart,
Meyerbeer, Brahms and others Of
similar rank. No town of its size in
the United States hears and pays for
as much high-class music.
And this is not an isolated case.
Practically the same situation obtains
at Hays City, away out in the wes-
tern part of the state. The same
spirit prevails at Pittsburg, Bald
win, Ottawa-yes, at Emporia. Al
tho she may never had heard Of
Wichita before, Nine. Calve the other
day found voice here on the Great
American Desert, in casual visit,
whose owner she was willing to take
as her personal protege. A pupil OF
Wichita violin teacher recently won
first place in a national music teach
ers' meeting. Kansas was one of the
few states to hear concert by Tos-
canini's great orchestra in his recent
tour. Kansas has more than its
quota of recognized authors-Ed
Howe, William Allen White, Hal Ev-
arts, Charles Harger, Jay House,
Margaret Hill McCarter, Willard
Wattles, Nelson Crawford and
dozen others that could be named.
1t may not be fair, however, to pick
out this single quotation. In fact,
it is the only one in a long article
which questions the greatness of
Kansas. Mr.. White amply justifes
the eminence of Kansas when he says
"There is no earthly trail parallel
ing the primrose path in which one
can avoid the wrath Of God and the
lady next door. Life and liberty are
indeed highly esteemed in Kansas,
but the pursuit Of happiness only
upon conditions set forth in the Ten
Commandments, thee Golden Rule,
and their Interpretation by the Kan
sas statutes. Still we are not joy
less people. We laugh easily and for
the most part, kindly" He quotes
many facts proving that Kansas is the
best state of the union, and So he is
forgiven for that one lapse, used as
text above.
But what is Puritanism? No one
has defined it satisfactorily. If it
means blue laws, Kansas doesn't have
them, for the blue laws belonged to
the 18th century, and Kansas is lead
ing the way for other states in legis-
lation, not copying. 1t is looking
forward, not backward. 1t is simply
recognizing modern conditions in the
American way.
1t it means reaction, Kansas does
not have it. There is no survival"
but modern movement.
If it means the religion of Ben
Franklin, Abraham Lincoln and
Roosevelt translated into modern con-
