OUR WEEKLY
COMMENT
The Lorimer bribery ease Is be
coming odorous again.
Pinkerton detectives are confident
they will be able to capture t tie
kidnappers of little Waldo Rogers.
Mothers will breathe easier when
the miscreants are in durance vile.
Mr. Bryan, while in Washington
attending the opening session of
congress showed his hand once more
by defeating the pet plan of the
democratic minority. Apparently
Mr. Bryon is still very much alive
when he chooses to be.
Wymore elected an entire" socialist
ic ticket. It is proposed to run
tlie city government along socialistic
lines, applying so far as possible in
municipal affairs the principles of
the national cocialistic platform,
“Equal rights for all, and special
privileges for none.
Sunday base ball failed to pass
the house. No single measure
before the present legislature awak
ened such wide-spread interest. The
bill was not strictly lost on its mer
its, but because of political- jugulary
connected with it, which constrained
some of its friends to vote against
the measure.
Mayor Keeling is determined to
put all he can into the few remain
ing weeks of his administration. The
vigor and dash which he is putting
into the street paving not only in
sures a speedy completion of that
rather upsetting job., but will go a
long way toward keeping alive the
memory of Major Keeling's admin
istration.
Theodore Rooseclt, ill a speed,
at Spokane, 'Ynsh., Saturday de
clared that he was making his
present tour i'or no other purpose
than that which he lias already
aligned—1. '.hunk the people
who had elected 1 m to the presi
dency. Ha.I lie never come west
i e said, h. never would have
raised his regiment and never
have become president. In con
clusion, lie said:
“It is the service done, not
the title of the place held that
counts. And you won't any of
you, have to puzzle ns to my mo
fives if you will accept, my state
ments at their face value. You
have not got anything T want ex
cept. your respect and good will,
insofar as you choose !o give me
your respect and your good will
and all I desire insofar ; s the
chance arises where T am able to
do so, to help you in any move
ment for tbe good of our com
mon country. That is all I
want.”
Senator Lorimer's coat of
" bitev-asb seems vi danger ... be
ing somewhat spattered with dir
ty dollars.
The Japs didn’t get that coalin
station, you will notice. A quick
move often wins a ball game or
an international point of strategy
Besides, in this instance, it help
ed bring about peace negotiations.
Canadian reciprocity seems to
have more sides than the original
tariff question And the people
most interested seem hopelessly
divided as to what they want. It
simmers down to the fact that
the man interested usually wants
to sell his raw material high and
buy the finished product low, and
the fellow who does the finishing
sees his finish if such a course is
allowed.
The democrats have charge of
the tariff, but it is a question
'.bother they know what to do
first. It doesn’t look as easy
now as it did before election.
Southern lynehings continue
The negro question seems a big
and difficult one. Possibly if we
lived in the south and had to
contend with like conditions, we
would not condemn the southern
ers so hastily for their hasty
act ions.
Don't wait until stores are sold
out before buying your spring
supplies. The first pick is al
ways the choice, and those who
'■'/me late will lx* compelled to
! choose from the left overs.
One good thing about automo
bile investments, not generally
considered, is that for every dol
lar put into autos by members of
community, that community
gets two dolfars worth of road im
proement in return. If auto
mobiles had no other alue than
this, it would amply justify their
existence.
The automobile fever shows no
signs of abating. Dealers are
placing more cars this spring
than ever. Farmers are still
big buyers. Hiawatha, Kansas
lias just placed orders for another
ear load. Fails City has al
ready placed a largy number,
and has prospects for the sale
of many more before the sea
son closes.
The traffic on Stone street
is seriously handicapped just now
The paving and paving material
occupying almost the entire street
However, at the rate the work is
progressing now, it will be only
; very short time until the street
will be open for traffic. The
work is being well done, too. in
every particular and when com
plete will be to the lasting cred
it of our town.
It is surprising the number of
towns 1 lint are worked vevery
year by fake adertising solic
ors. These men have every plans
able and are very glib in recount
ing the untold benefits that will
result from their particular stunt
They string the business men as
hard as possible, leave a few
dollars with the local printer to
pay for printing Hie dope (and
they always try to jew him down
to the lust cent, at that) and
pass on to greener pastures, re
membering Ilmiest Abe’s decla
ration about fooling the people.
Of late, associations among busi
ness men expressly forbid pat
1 onage of these doubtful enter
prises. and some even assess a
heavy fine for any member who
breaks the rule. After all, the
borne papers are the only legiti
mate and trustworthy means of
exploiting your products, and
the sooner tlie wise merchant ar
ranges 1o advertise in the home
papers to the extent of his abil
ity, and pass up the fakers, the
sooner will he reap a rich re
ward in the shape of increased
business and the added respect
of his fellowmen.
The rumor is rife that the Bur
lington has bought a strip of
laud five hundred feet wide and
half a mile long, east of their
present apology for a depot, and
that they are planning on some
thing big. While rumors are as
a rule mere buneomb. there is a
possibility that in order to keep
pace with the Missouri Pacific,
the Burlington will make exten
sive improvements, and may even
decide to build a round house and
repair shop.

Yesterday evening IVtcr Fred
