The Republicans of MuUook are for
Roosevelt and in earnest of that fact
they have organized a league for the
promotion of his inomination Red
willow county is just as enthusiastic for
his nomination and we look for tho or
ganization of leagues all over tho county
McCook Republicans are warm ad
heronts of Congressman Norris and it
was proper thnt tho Roosevelt club
should place itself on record as enthusi
astically favoring his renomination
This is a close second to the desire for
tho nomination of President Roosevelt
Thruk is nothing of special interest
going concerning the Russo Japanese
war The Japs so far have had it all
-their way on sea and the work of mass
ing large bodies of tioops in Korea and
Manchiuia is now progressing on tho

next airair of importance will likely
cccur on land and it promises to bo
something fierce

of industry who ripidly i limbrd tho
heights of success nnd wealth fiom small
beginning as a politician and publicist
he quickly took a foremost place in Re
publican national councils perfoice of
hisgieat ability and marvelous industry
As a man ho was much beloved by his

Dont forget the old man
with the fish on his back
For nearly thirty years he
has been traveling around the
world and is still traveling
bringing health and comfort
wherever he goes
To the consumptive he
brings the strength and flesh
he so much needs
To all weak and sickly
children he gives rich and
strengthening food
To thin and pale persons
he gives new firm flesh and
rich red blood
Children who first saw the
old man with the fish are now
grown up and have children
of their own
He stands for Scotts Emul
sion of pure cod liver oil a
delightful food and a natural
tonic for children for old folks
and for all who need flesh and
strength

PUBLIC PREE LIBRARY NOTES
However much we may deplore nrmed
hostilities war has a wonderfully broad
ening influence Our own brief conflict-
with Spain added materially to our store
of learning The present affair between
Japan and Russia will result in the dis
semination of information about remote
lands of which we now know little or
nothing No one thing that has to do
with men is so terribly fascinating as
war Tho accounts of the battles fought
arouse our liveliest interest and in read
ing of them we acquire a diversity of
knowledge We want to know what the
belligerent nations are fighting for and
to understand this we must inquire into
the history and politics not only of the
combatants but of non combatants as
well To comprehend the descriptions
we must know the geography of the
countries in which the war is being
waged and the situation of the coun
tries with relation to each other We
inquire also as to climate products
and population the habits and customs
of the people tho relative szes and
stieugth of the armies and navies in
short to tlioiougbly understand the
war we must go into a host of collateral
issues and so gather whether we will
or not a vast volume of facts that we
would otherwise not take the trouble to
learn
The war between Japan and Russia
by the way is unique in the annals of
tho world Never before probably
certainly not in modern times have
two nations whose inhabitants were
members of different races fought on
an equal basis as Japan and Russia are
doing in this war There have been in
numerable wars of extermination be
tween -the whites and the Indians in
this country between the Europeans
and the blacks in Africa between the
Caucasians and the Malays in the South
Sea Islands and between the trained
soldiers of the civilized nations and the
barbarian hordes of Mongolian China
in 1900 but never before have the men
of an inferior race waged war against
the armies of civilization with the weap
ons that civilization taught them how
to use
Another strange feature about this
war is that the sympathies of Ameri
cans at least and probably those of
some of the European nations are with
the Japanese a people of a different
race having a different religion and
different traditions than ourselves a
people with whom we have little in com
mon and a people who have emerged
only within the last fifty years from a
condition that we consider but little
better than barbarism What have we
to hope for from the success of Japanese
arms Will not victory for Japan mean
danger to the very existence of our race
Orientalists have warned us to beware
of the sleeping giant have even pre
dicted that the time will come when the
Mongol will rule the world When we
realize how adaptable the yellow man is
when we recall that the smaller of the
two branches of the race has been trans
formed in the brief period of half a cen
tury from one of the most benighted to
one of the most enlightened of nations
we are not without reason for fear and
we may well inquire whether it will be a
good thing for Japan to win

Some time ago horse thieves one night
stole a valuable Arabian mare of James
Austins and a buggy horse of Dr Ban
wells at Orleans Neb Austins and Dr
Banwells stables are several blocks
apart and the thieves stole Dr Ban
wells horse and then Austins with the
latters harness and phaeton Austin
was at that time absent in Illinois and
some time elapsed before he returned at
Orleans Telegrams and notices were
sent to the sheriffs to many of the coun
ties of western and northwestern Kansas
and the horses were traced to Phillips
burg Kansas and lost sight of The
officials were unable to locate or find the
stolen property Mr Austin believing
that he would locate and reclaim the
missing horses never despaired and
established a thorough search covering
every postoffice in Western Kansas with
in a radious of lw miles writing de
scriptions of the property to the police
officials of the towns star routes and R
F D postoffices and mailing hundreds
of cards A ray of hope came forth
tfrom Great Bend Kansas wirine that
the supposed horses were at that place
Mr Austin went to Great Bend found
and identified all stolen property and
returned to Orleans This was the re
sult of untiring energy of intelligent re
search and able system of covering every
part of available territory Mr Austin
deserves much credit for his victory and
systematic research He drives today
