Short Grass Advocate from Gove City, Kansas • 4

'i Communication SHORT GRASS ADVOCATE. It is only a Joke. The majority of the American people, irroHpuotlve of their party alHUa-tlons, will be thankful to learn that Mr. Parker was miakmd in bis statements concerning the Philippines. We venture that that Mr.

Parker himself is too good an American not to have been thankful when lie found that no such deplorable state of affairs existed anywhere under the American tlag. Market Report. KANHAB I'JTY'i Saturday, November IfJOJ There has been a iluolded improvement in the cuttle market, since Monday, Last week closed badly and as 19,000 cattle came In Monday, it looked like there was nothing bright ahead for this week. Hut renulplH dropped off after Tuenday, and tho total for the week is only 05,000 head, 20,000 less than last week( Prices have, In consequence, gained 10 to 20 cents all around, and the feeling is hotter. Top besf steers this week, $0,10, but nothing very toppy has boon here, Good hard fat grass steers bring $3,75 to $4.75.

These grass cattle are killing bettor now, than they have dono before since they began coming this year. Grass It has been reported that we vverti ffoods BELOW COST, but they were only joking, for we are not; but it is a fact that we are selling better goods for less money than our competitors charge you for inferior stulT, The reason why we can do this is because we buy closer, pay the the cash, sell closer and handle a larger line. We carry every thing found in a general Merchandise store. Everything new. fresh and clean; no old shelf-worn, musty stcok ofTer at any price.

Canners have improved, their position last few days. Nice light veals are firm, up to $5.75, but heavy ones and stock calves aro dull. Stockers add feeders are steady, good ones strong, but few sales are above $3.65, and desirable stuff is se cured at $2.75 to $3.50. General sent! went, however, favors hotter prices for all kinds of cattle in the near future, and a good market is looked for, next week. Hog market has been erratic, and al though its course Is downward, pack ers are not having it all their own way.

One or two recoveries in the price take place every week, and to the top at the close of the week ii around $5,15, a little abovo tho low time. Bulk of sales range from $1.75 to $5.05, and medium weight hogs sell at $4.85 to $5.05, heavy ones $5.00 to $5.15. Sheep and lamb prices continue firm on all kinds. More of the stuff was suitable for packors than usual, thU week, an adjustment which kept all prices about steady. Best lambs now bring $5.50 to $5.65, wethers, $4.00 to $4.25, ewes, $3.75 to 14,00.

Country kinds of wethers and yearlings still sell at $3.35 to $3.65, lamba, $4.00 to $4.25, ewes, $2.50 to $3.50. THOS. PIKE, Dealer in DriKjs and Patent Medicines, ol all Kinds. COLOGNES, POWDERS, CIGARS, PAINTS, OILS, GRINNELL. Charlie Terrlli is on the sick list.

The high man, on the Republican ticket, as to tho number of votes, was Jesse Smith, for Treasurer, when he rolled up a majority of 270, and the low man was Gust Anderson, for She-iff, with a plurality of 2.1, both second term men, while the high man on the Democratic ticket was J. A. Wilson, for Clerk of the Court, who piled up an overwhelming majority of 184, and that in a county that generally runs 150 Republican majority.

Wo didn't know anything about Wilson, untill he moved into our county, two years ago; he has certainly proved himself a "white man," and he was clean, in his campaign, all the way through. The election is over, and peace reigns for two years mors. It ha demonstrated the fallacy of boss rule and a delegate system of conventions. So long as the will of tho people is thwarted, so long will defeat come to the Republican party. Tho people of Gove county, by an overwhelming majority, voted for a primary system of nominations, but for six years this has been ignored by a few would-ba bosses, who, through their henchmen, have held delegate conventions, in spite of the wish of a large majority of the Republisans of the county.

Last Tuesday was surely a rebuke to some of tho bosses who have bean running for several years, and the end is not yet. If the few would-be bosses coutinue their trading off a part of the ticket to save a few of their particular friends, at a sacrifice of others, it will soou come that a Republican can't be elected, and they will disrupt the party in tho county, Ever since the so-called Philippine caucus, which was held in 'secret, by about six boss Republicans and six boss Pops, thsre has been but very few Republicans elected, but what have had to have the endorsement of tho parties be longing to the said Philippino gang. We hope we will never have another delegae convention, and that the people will set down on the few that try to rule or ruin, in a way that they will never be heard of, politically, any more. U. S.

Mr. Mtno, Dicar Siu: I extend my sympaty to you, for being In the condition you are in. You have, unintentlally, committed moral Hululdo. You are now morally dead, and I do not wonder your that mind wanders, after trying to impoHO on the people of this county by giving them a lot of stuff, that you nor anyone else believes, but still I forgive you, as I do not wonder at this, when I reallve that your mind in overpowered by ono of far moro strength than your own, even though that mind is far more frail than that of a babe's, that was born yesterday. I presume, now, that you want to tell the voterB of Gove county that no one dictated to you the article you bad in last week's issue, but do you think they will believe It, knowing the source from which it came? I think not, nor do I blame them, as the people in general are apt to appeal to reason, when such statements are made and weigh them carefully, when they come from such sources.

Now, Mr, Lund, what party did you represent, boforo you became a Socialist? Who wai it, that balanced on the fence, prior to your present state of mind, politically. And now, taking your own statement, who was it that went craay, first, you, or I. Now, Mr. Lund, have you any cause to complain, when I say you are morally dead, if you had any morals to begin with. "I am qualified to state," says Mr.

Lund, that we never received a sesond letter, tolling us not to use your name on the Socialist ticket. Now, ara you not also qualified to state to the voters of Govo county that your Saviour ia a negro wench? And, also, that she is the oue you stayed with, while you were at Hill City, at the Senatorial Convention? Do you desire to tell the people of Gove county, that when you and Mr. Harrington and wife, Mr. Nicker-son and wife, and Mr. Lincoln, and perhaps others of this county, attend ed the Socialist convention, at Hill City, that you did not break away from your company, and stay with a negro wench? I presume you are qualified to so state.

And I presume you aro qualified to state anything that is inconsistent with your desires, whether it is true or false; and in view of this, I presume you are qualified to state that the Almightyrand 47 angels could rear you to the Btanding of a yellow dog, while, if your mind and body were the same size, you could hide behiud a corn cob. I presume it does not take any more broath to tell a lie than the truth. You say, "I would advise you. if you again get political aspirations, to go where you are not known;" did you ever hear of any one aspiring for an oflice, and then decline, immediate ly after being nominated? still I do not wonder at this, realizing the condition of your mind, but I am willing that you shall distate to my business, pravlded you can prove yourself qual- and can file the proper bond. And now, while we say we are not in the habit of skinning skunks, still if we did skin one, in our former article, we feel qualified to skin anothor by this.

Now, isn't this a beautiful puppet, an elegant pen-pvsher, the product of an idle moment, illy spent, to jam into and invite statements, and compel people to publish such material, when the editor refuses to publish his lettor, unless he pays for 3pace, and the other editor to totally ignore his article. While we, as a rule, are in a position protect ourself, as to the assaults of the people, and to this extent we are to ba tried; but we do not feel justified in waging war against the sluff, the off-scouring and degenerates of a nation, who might be compared to a bologna, with one as the rhine, and the other aa stuffing. And now, in closing, will say that henceforth, I shall have nothing farther" to fftty on this subject, as I feel that one so humble as myself unqualified to attempt to repell the assaults of those so high and mighty, who even might boaat.of royal blood, if the ass was king of the-beasts.

The University of Washington is investigating the alleged discovery of a live toad in a Seattle coal mine, 300 feet below the surface. The Illinois Federation of Women's Clubs announces that extravagance in dress is ruinous to women. Our experience is that it is even more so to men.

An Atlanta newspaper thanks God, that, while the South has no political contest to break the monotony, she has a few automobiles and foot ball games. New York has a Greek newspaper, called Atlantis.

It will be awfully quiet after elect ionunless some one can arrange for joint debate between Dr. Swallow and Bishop Potter, sponsor for the ecclesiastical saloon. A Socialist leader figures that were property and labor to be equally di vided, each; man would have an Income ftv? fiftO venr. How loner does' he imagine such division would last?

Incidentally, the Bureau of Corpor jktlons has never acquired any infor Vnntinn which could be of use to the malign of either campaign. The work, thus far, has been almost eri? tirely of a preliminary diameter. The charge that the President and bis campaign manager have conspired to use official information to extort 'catiipaisjn'eontribuLions, is not only a reflection on the intelligence of. Che people to whom it is stated, but it is a whol'ly untrue and unwarranted slan-fder on the fair name of the nation. The Republican National lomraittee bas collected a campaign fund less thai half as large as that collected four years ago, and one third that-of eight years ago, The Democratic campion fund is also believed to be less than it has been on some former occasions.

There is reason for hope that future campaigns will be fought on purer linos than in the past. 4.. i TO THIS Grainfield, Kansas. mnr.imrn and dfpcndcd. Send model, rawliiii- urtihitto.furL'xuiM-t HuHrch and free report.
