A. of Kansas and the Middle West, will hold its 21st Annual session in Wichita, Kansas, X'mas week, 1911, opening Wednesday, Dec. 27, and closing Friday December 29th with an oratorical contest. Every literary society that has been regularly organized for a period of three months, and has held at least 12 regular meetings this calendar year, is entitled to and is hereby requested to elect and send three delegates, one of whom may appear upon the program, provided there are not more than three such societies in the same city. In cities where there are more than three such societies the delegates from the society must meet and elect not more than three of their number to appear on the program the membership for new societies #1 30; for old societies #1. The program will be arranged by a subcommittee on Dec. 2nd, and each society must have in the hands of the corresponding secretary by that date, its membership fee, the names and addresses of its delegates, together with the manuscripts of the contestants Contests in oratory, original music, original poetry, poetry and decoration will be held. Cash prizes will be awarded the successful contestants as follows: No graduate in any subject will be admitted to that particular contest.

Grant Car See. 1904 N 4th St., Kansas City, KY. The McNamras. The confession of the McNamara brothers to the numerous crimes of destroying lives and property to further the cause of union labor, shows what method great organizations will resort to in order to keep a certain class of men living without the sweat of their brow. The capitalists and less fortunate class who are bared from the union have to much at the hands of such men whose soul purpose is to rule or ruin. If the officials of the U. S. government, states and municipalities would do their whole duty when these labor strikes and complications arise in their respective communities by stamping them out at once, there would be less crimes committed in the name of labor, and thousands of men who are bared from the union would be able to earn a livelihood for their families and capital would cease to be afraid to venture into prospective channels which would mean a greater country. Capital needs protection as well labor. Men running for office use too much hypocrisy in decrying capital and mourning for the imaginary wrongs heaped upon labor. We believe in labor standing to gether, but when they draw the line on men on account of co. or we cannot help but feel that the unions are unfair. We note with regret the instruction of Federal Judge Van Valkenberg to the jury in the case of Dr. Tompkins of Kansas City, Mo. who was forced out of a Pullman car in Oklahoma, having purchased his ticket in Kansas City for McAlister Okla. The judge ruled that he was subject to the laws of Oklahoma and so instructed the jury, who brought in a verdict for the company. We do not know where this judge got his backing for the position unless from some unknown indueno which seems to be against t. colored people. The judge only NUMBER 50 democrat ter what a small man he be, and not well versed in interstate commerce law. Furthermore, he does not represent the Golden Rule or the teachings of the Savior. He should reign from the bench and let a man of Lighter thoughts of his fellow beings occupy the unhollow ground where Judge VanValken gorges da EMPORLA, KANSAS Mrs. Ray, accompanied by her son Arche, returned to her home in Pueblo.

NEELEY $ ^{*} $ If elected, I pledge my whole cedariver to enact into law the following declaration of principles: 10d A national income and inher- tance tax 11e A law providing for the recall of a national public officials. 12 I officer of United States society by direct vote of the people. THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN 6th. An immediate revision of the tariff downward, and the placing of all trust-made goods on the free list. 7th. The regulation of public service and other corporations by the state and nation, and a stricter law prohibiting over-capitalization of same, providing both fine and imprisonment for violations thereof. 8th. Increasing the powers of the Interstate Commerce Commission so that they shall have jurisdiction over all interstate business, including express, telephone and telegraph companies. 10th. Amending the long and short haul clause of the Hephburn bill so that the common carrier may not charge a higher rate for the short haul than for the long haul in the same direction, thereby removing the discrimination against the jobbing centers of the Seventh district. 10th. I believe in a further weeding out of uncless officials who are parasites upon the body politic; cutting out every graft and reducing the expense of the administration of affairs so that every employee will give a dollar of service for every dollar of pay. 11th. I believe in the further extension of rural deliveries, and of further federal aid to agriculture, good roads and irrigation in this district. 12th. The government of the United States owes a sacred duty to its defenders, and I believe each soldier of the Union army is entitled to a pension of one dollar per day during the balance of his life.

This Reptile, the Most Venomous of Snakes, Is Death itself. The most venomous of snakes is said to be the Echis carinata of India. It is about eighteen inches long and of a gray color. The creature is death itself and carries in its head the secret of destroying life with the concentrated agony of all the poisons. The Echis carinata is tolerably common in India, being found in nearly every part of the peninsula. Fortunately, however, for man, it is not, like the cobra, a house frequenting snake, for its aggressive habits would make it infinitely more fatal to life than its dreaded relative. This king of the aps does not turn to escape from man, as the cobra will, or flash into concealment, like the korlat, but keeps the path against its human assailant and, putting its own eighteen inches of length against its enemy's bulk, challenges and provokes conflict. A stroke with a whip will cut it in two or a clot of earth disable it. But such is its malignity that it will invite attack by every device at its command, staking its own life on the mere chance of its adversary coming within the little circle of its power. At most the radius of this circle is twelve inches. Within it at any point lies certain death, and on the bare hope of hand or foot trespassing with in its reach the Lichls carmata throws its body into a figure of light coll. Then it attracts attention by rubbing its loops together, which, from the roughness of the scales, make a rustling, bissling sound, erects its head in the center and awaits attack. It is said that no one, having once encountered this terrible reptile, can ever forget its horrifying aspect when thus aroused. Its overly aggressive air, its toless colls, which, in constant motion are over the other and rusling omniously all the while, stealthily but surely liting it neuer and neuer to the object of its fury.—Harper's TWO NEW HATS. The Scheme That Won Them and the Way It Was Worked. A man who used to be in politics and was a constant borrower found him self in need of a new hut. But he couldn't find anybody who wore, lend him a coat. Finally he went to an acquaintance and told. "I want to borrow $50 for five minutes." "You can have it if you will put up a couple of tunes for security." "My Now, Ive got a scheme. You lend me it. This and you wont let me get out of your sight. If you do it Ill take you in a new hut." My stifled, but curious, the acquaintance once asked I to this, and the two re-paired to a prominent list store. "Walt a little time," said the adventurer and left it token doing a duty on the side walk. "Picking out one's most important loo'ing possession in the store, the politician went up to him and said, "I am bound so of the — district I have come to pay for two hits for which I have given orders on you to two of my constituents." With that he dished a fifty dollar bill. There was a scurrying around, a search of books and a reply that no such orders had been presented. "Just look out for them, will you?" said the district leader, waving the big bill, which was hypnotic in its way, for the clerk bowed low and said, "Yes." Half an hour later two orders were presented and two hats left the store—Chicago Post. --- Jan pesta Landa pesta A land which is in the sur face and in lands of the local only All mines under the said sur face appear taken not to him, but to the government.
