Miss Clara Sapp. According to threshing reports the Kansas wheat yield is going to come up to the, predicted estimate. The Mexicans keep right on fighting, regardless of the weather, mediators or anything else, but theMetropolitan press is not publishing so much dope about Americans being murdered, etc.

H. R. Honey has been appoint ed postmaster at Mankato, to suc ceed Emmett George, and this is Emmett's peaceful summary on the result: "It means war to the knife, and the knife to the hilt." Oh, Oliver, Oliver, why don't you come back? Isn't this appointment of a postmaster a mighty poor excuse for a factional fight among the citizens of a town, which otherwise would be friendly to one another? An who is eternally engendering such hatred is a menace to good society. It is certainly amusing, to say the least, as we look over pur exchanges. In the same issue of many of them, and in the same column, we find a howl about "free trade has ruined the farmers' prices," and then, "the free trade tariff law has -not reduced the high cost of living as we were promised it would.

It is funny. Not only that, but ridiculous, to imagine how silly some editors assume their readers to be. The Republican papers and a-mong them papers which supported the Progressives two years ago, but now taken their dose of crow and "back-slid" are enthusiastically calling attention to the slump in the Progressive vote this year as compared with their vote for Roosevelt two years ago. They use the primary vote this year and tbe general election vote of two years ago for he comparison. Everyone knows, that has any useful brains that a primary vote of any party is insignificant when compared to a presidential vote.

Deception is the Republican stock in trade. r. Dr. R. Stewart PHYSICIAN Phones 77-3.
