Turkey's new naval appropriations should be called a sinking fund.

The only reason that Rockefeller and Carnegie are both rich men is that they operated in different spheres, neither one left any droppings through their fingers. We don't recall ever seeing such a heavy stand of Presidential timber. The stumpage will be conspicuous after the nomination. Mr. Carnegie believes that some sort of a government commission should fix prices every month.

How long would it be before somebody would think it worth while to try to "fix" the commission? W. Clark Russell, who wrote sea- stories, left a fortune of $1000.000.

The Palace A Precedent When Washington resigned the command of the army in 1783 he announced to Congress that he was "taking leave of all the employments of public life." This announcement he intended to mean that he would not again accept office.

Five years later when he was urged to become a candidate for the presidency he demurred on the ground that his previous declaration would be held against him. 'The world and posterity," he wrote to Hamilton, "might possibly accuse me of inconsistency." Hamilton, Madison and others argued with him that the country needed him and that under tho circumstances he must yield; that tho statement of 1783 must not be permitted to b'ock the public demand. Washington finally consented with the undei standing that he would serve two years. Instead, he served eight. Kansas City Times.

No Middle Ground. Throughout the whole country the people are awakening up to a realization of the intent of the liquor traffic to rule and ruin this free land of ours. The religious press is speaking out! The pulpits are beginning to thunder! Men who have heretofore been 'luiet, are becoming indignant at the brazen impudence of the rum power. Patriotism and love for humanity aro rising above party fealty. Men are seeing that there is no compromise with this curse! Tnat this country cannot remain "half drunk and half sober." That it must become one or the other.

There is no midule ground. Either the lords of rum will rule, and vice and debauchery prevail, or the intelligence and virtuo of the nation must overthrow it and take the reins of government in its own hand. Tho conflict is irrepressible! There aro no half way measures. No settling it by that sham of shams, high license. Men may devise schemes and plans to stave off tho inevitable, but they are and must be abortive.

The rum power is determined to fasten itself permanently upon this nation! And the intelligence and conscience of the nation is equally determined that it shall not do it! There may be parrying and thrusting, and preliminary skirmishing, but the battle is bound, to come, and when it does it will not be a drawn battle! One or tho other will go down! If it shall be intelligence and conscience, the history of the republic is finished, the hope of the world blotted out. If it shall be triumphant then a deliverance r.nl Messing have! come to humanity, such as tho world has heretofore never known! Hunters Beware! We, the undersigned hereby give notice that we want no hunting or trapping on our farms and will prosecute trespassers. O. S. Livengood R.

MUNSELL. What a Wheat Crop Means. Osborne county has out probably 125,000 acres of wheat. This is only an estimate and the acreage may run more. An average or ten bushels to the acre means 1,230,000 bushebs.

At eighty cents a bushel this would bring in $1,000,000 of money to tho farmers of Osborne county. This would mean a-round $80 for every man, woman and child within the confines of tho county. You can imagino what this much money would to do to business in all lines. It looks us though that very thing was going to Osborne Farmer. Roosevelt And The Third Term.

Those who still think it unsafe to elect a president for a third term should recall the fact that the objections to a third term were formulated against a third consecutive term. A man who leaves the presidency and is re-elected after a lapse of four or eight years has no body of office holders behind him, does not possess the power of patronage and therefore stands on the same footing as a private citizen. In Mr. Roosevelt's specific case it is sometimes said that his statement in 1904 and again in 1907 that he would not accept another nomination make his acceptance of a nomination this year inconsistent. What Mr.

Roosevelt said in 1901 and 1907 referred, of course, to a consecutive third term. Mr. Roosevelt believes, although we do not share that belief, that the settled policy of this country makes a third consecutive presi-cential term for any man impolitic, if not improper; but the Outlook has a better appreciation of his intelligence than to suppose that he had in 1904, or has now, the slighest idea of defining it, The situation may perhaps be made more clear by a homely illustration. When a man says at breakfast, "No, thank you, I will not take any more coffee," it does not mean that ho will not take any more coffee to morrow morning, or next week, or next month, or next year Outlook. A man at Great Bend has worked 25 years for the Santa Fe road, on the section and never lost a day.

By means of a thermostat he can regulate it to eo on at any degree of heat. When the alarm starts there is no stopping it un til someone shuts it off. It is made this way to that in case the wires were ournt ort it would still keep sounding the alarm. In a large building a tiny thermostat can be placed in each room and the instrument be made to record in which room the fire occurred. He not only has a patent on the instrument but on the system.
