Hugh MacI‘utland ix a candidate for Probate Judge at the Republican pri. maries August 6, 1912, to succeed W. F, Schoch, who is now serving his second term, having been twice elected. MacFarland is the first candidate to advocate putting all county officers on a fixed salary and have all fees go to the county, It has been estimated that fifteen or twenty thousand dol- lars could be saved the taxpayers of this county each year by this plan. The office of Probate Judge pays in the neighborhood of ten thousand dol- Jars u year, under the feo system, which means that a man who has held that office for four years has been paid in the neighborhood of $10,090 for his services by the people of this county, Mr. MucFailand is a Shawnee coun. ty man—born, reared, educated and admitted te practice law in the city of Topeha. He Is making a thorough campaign und sill eee each yoter be- fore election, He is very popular with the people who know lum and has a Jarge following in the county, Mr, Maclatland has printed his platform, from which we quote; “Dear Sirs—I am making a cam. palzn for the office of Probate Judge on the platform of ‘All Officers on Fixed Salary and All Fees to the County Treasurer,’ In my first an- nouncement, made November 17th, 1911, I advocated this policy and promised to lend my support towards hasing a salary bill passed at the next legislature, and to have the same put into effect at once, Since that time there has been considerable agitation on this question. It seems to me that there can be but one side to this controversy—put all officers on a@ fixed salary and save the tax. payers of this county fifteen or twen- ty thousand dollars a year, “It Is not generally known that the Vrobate Judge of Shawnce county Is not governed in the amount he re- ceives, by the same law which gov- erns other Probate Judges in this state. The amount received Ly the Probate Judge in this county Is gov- [rtnea by a special law, which applies only to Shawnee county. Under this special law he is compelled to make no deport and gives no account of ans kind in reference to his fces. Ie hecps as enmpensation for his sei. tees nll feed collected by him, “Scveral candidates for county of- woe have, since my announcement expressed themselves as being satis fied to necept a stipulated salary and ho foes, Some have done this be- aadse they see the faliness and Ja tice to the people of this county dn this vstem, Oflers have dine sa hecause they vcie forced to, under the stress f public pinion, after the salaries vcucived under the fee rystem had teen taade hnown te the public. “If you tee to It that every man dou sote for is sincercty In favor ef a salary law and has pledged himself to supnort it, there will be no organized lobby next eyar, as there was last, to defeat this measure, “Yours very truly, “HUGH MAC FARLAND.” | CORONER, . Dr I. W. Rinehait, whose office is in the Mills building, announces him- self as a candidte for coroner on the Republican ticket ut the next pre mary election. He is a man who stands well in the community, and says a physician should be elected to the office, for the teason if, in a case of accident or suicide and a coroner is called, if life should not be extinct, in several cases men holding that po- sition who are not practicing phy si- cians would not be able to revive them. Theiefore, to insure and pre- vent such accident, a physician should he elected to this office, He has prne- ticed in Topeka for several Years and has a host of friends and has a grand practice, He is 3 member of the Masonic, K, of P,, Red Men and sey. erat other organizations for the bet- terment of mankind, ROHLFING & CO.

Scott were the attractions. They are statesmen and are for Taft, and say no better man ever filled the Presidential chair. We see no other way out than to renominate President. Taft. He is standing for what his party pledged him to in 1908 and is trying to carry out every pledge made. Taft will be the nominee at Chicago. Opposers get ready to eat crow or get in the Democratic party. The people of the Fifth Congressional district should reminisce and re-elect ex-Congressman W. A. Calderhead. He is a statesman. A man who understands national laws; a safe man on all questions pertaining to the American people. Just as he was beginning to shed his effulgent rays of light on what he had done and what he was going to do in Congress, a few galinippers got together one hot summer evening and put him out of business. Now, we hope their fangs have been clipped so they will not be able to overcome the sane and sound minds of those creatures in the Fifth district who believe in having brains and energy to represent them at Washington. Mr. Calderhead's friends are seeing ahead and will have him sent back. He is a loyal, upright citizen, soldier and statesman. He has no equal in Kansas. Send W. A. Calderhead back to Congress, then Kansans may stand up and look the country over and be proud to say we have a man who knows what is best to do and has the backbone to stand up and do it regardless of consequences. The Pillow Murder. The killing of Elizabeth Pillow by her husband, Ed Pillow, last Sunday night, on Central street, across the Shunganunga creek, about 11 o'clock, was quite a surprise, as Pillow was considered a peaceful fellow when sober. But it is the same old story. Those who live a tough life will have a tough ending. It is disgusting to see so many loud-mouthed, ragged young men of the race iding around, and who will not work or have ambition to do something that will make them good citizens. And it is also disgusting to see them nile out of the court house and city jail after these big trials and killings. They seem to hanker for excitement. We hope there will be no lack of work this year for those who claim they can not find work. Too many young boys are allowed to "play hookey" from school. Give us a probation officer who is able to find ungoverned boys who turn out like Pillow. Mrs. Pillow's funeral was held from the home of her sister last Thursday afternoon. Rev. Davis of Brown Chapel officiated. She leaves five sisters, two of whom live at Parville, Mo., and one in Kansas City. All were at the funeral. She died in the arms of Mrs. Caldwell, the only one in the home at the time of the killing. He returned to kill her, but she shut the door and made her escape through the window in the front room, to an neighbor's noise, where he followed her. Deceased was 33 years of age and was born in Clay county, Missouri. Interment was in Mount Auburn cemetery. There have been several murders of this nature committed in this city in the past three years and we suggest that the laws of Kansas be made like those of New York and be enforced. The sooner a few of these wife killers are hung or electrocuted the sooner these crimes will be reduced. There is too much lenency shown this class of criminals. A special law saying that all men who deliberately murder their wives or sweethearts shall be executed would pass if prop- Let Kansas move up on criminal law. Miss. Pillow's sister said she was sick nad confined to her bed at the time of the killing; that she asked him to buy a duck. He brought a chicken. He got meal, cooked the chicken, took it away and burned up all the foodstuff that was in the safe and left the house on Saturday night before the killing. ALONG THE COLOR LINE. as motive power of the visitor. The classed as one of the best ever held in the South. But the real feature was the heart to heart talk of the negro farmers to each other. Many of them told how they had started in a swamp with nothing and subsisted on a hop and corn meal while preparing their land for cultivation and how they now own their own homes and and—and while very few referred to totals, it is known that a number of them could have said with accuracy that their holdings are listed for tausation with five figures. Principal Washington in his opening address dwelt chiefly upon the white and black farmers and honesty between tenant and landlord, and he scouted the negroes who rent land and move away before the crop is made, or who sell all their cotton when they have pledged to pay rent in the staple. W. W. Thompson, a white planter, proved conditions on his estate since he offered prizes for the best kept homes, the most productive gardens, the best kept ditches, and the biggest yield of cotton from a one-horse farm. The need of better school buildings was a prominent topic and farmers who could not read the newspapers given them advised their neighbors to ship in and build a school in your neighborhood, to be sure of a teacher sent there." Reports indicate that the negro farmers are spending thousands of dollars annually building school houses in the rural districts. The last day's session was devoted to "How we can save." "Buy more land" was the burden of the reply. It was stated that the negroes of the south were earning $500,000,000 annually and of this they would save $15,000,000 or $20,000,000. "Stick to the soil" was the advice. $20,000,000 in Real Estate Owned by .....Colored, Between $15,000,000 and $25,000,000 000 worth of real estate in Pennsylvania is owned by negroes, according to the forthcoming annual report of John L. Rockey, chief of the bureau of industrial statistics in the department of internal affairs. In the 47 wards of Philadelphia negroes own a total of 1,080 parcels of taxable real estate, and exclusive of non-taxable property, with a total tax valuation of $2,801,275. Among the places in which the largest number of properties tee held with the market value of each, are Williamport, 93, $70,000, Washington, 95, 327,050; Carlisle, 81, $309,500; Dauby, 69, $119,500; Scranton 11, $165,000; Meadsville, 27, $38,100; Lewiston, 22, $38,750; Franklin, 20, $31,700; Uniontown 21, $33,325; Ardmore, 24, $96,400; Harrisbrrg (two wards), 41, 66,800; Langhorne, 26, $22,400; Lancaster 25, $73,000; Norwood, 8, $115,100; Chester, (two wards), 14, $28,000; Bristol 17, $11,77 Sewickley,11, $32,500; Braddock, 35, $16,000; Reading, 18, $62,750; Reading 18, $62,750; Greensburg 13, $27,900; Three Tuns 32, $4,500; Elizabeth, 28, $32,900.

We do not want men on the bench who will confiscate the property of corporations nor in- white persons from teaching Negro pres. the governor declares a hat one white woman in South Carolina was seen showing affectionate familiarity to Negro children, het pupils, and fears it portends the breaking down of the color line. With reference to this matter the governor says "It is recommended that you pass an act prohibiting any white person from teaching in Negro schools or teaching Negro children. "We boast that we have no social equality in South Carolina, yet white people are teaching in Negro's schools, who are associating with the pupils and teaching them that they are as good as white people and are instilling in their heads ideas of social equality. Not long ago a white woman—and a good-looking one—was seen walking on a Negro school ground, with one arm around a Negro girl. What do you expect to be the outcome of this kind of conduct? Stop it, and stop it now! With reference to lynching the governor says that when a Negro assaults a white woman "just so long will lynching he had, regardless of how much the newspapers may howl and rage, or who is governor." The governor recommends the adoption of a law prohibiting Negroes from belonging to secret societies. He says: "Much annoyance is being caused in various parts of the state by the organization of such lodges. Negroes who commit crime are given assistance in escaping, money is raised to pay lawyers if the one charge with a crime is a member of the lodge; therefore such lodges should be disbanded."

This being his first experience in this kind of trouble, we hope the matter will be settled and that he will again be at home with us. George is a good boy and did not deserve the punishment that was placed upon him, but, like other boys away from home, he fell into bad company and, being among strangers, without money or friends, he had to accept the punishment that was assigned to him.

For the restless buy or gift who wants to go away from the farm and get out into the big world to do some thing, no better lot of earnest reading can be found than this extract from the New York Independent. "The new farm children," it says, "live a third district life. The sciences began to take hold of the land at least fifty years ago but there was an off- clearing necessary. The transition period was protracted mainly because the land was already in possession of a range of farms that must die off. "The agricultural college applied the sciences to tillage and to crops and to animal life on the farm twenty five years ago. It was slow work, not only to waken the farmer, but to investigate, discover, and then to apply. The age is now rapidly falling into the hands of men who are alive to the great fact that production has never yet approached its maximum. The orchard has all this while, thanks to moths and caterpillars, become more and more an anatomical laboratory. Gradually it has come about that not a thing can be grown on the land without a night. This has not by any means been a permanent loss, but has wakened a spirit of scientific examination and determination to master conditions. The microscope and the crucible are as necessary today as the plow and the hoe. The farm boy is not without stimulus, nor is he without interesting conditions; rather it will now take the brighter boys to do the farming. "The development of farm machinery and the application of new forces on the land have come out at the same time. In every department of the home, in the house as well as in the barn, machinery takes the place of men, and the help problem is now driving us to a still more complete age of mechanism. "There is no lot on earth so invivable today as that of an American farm boy or girl. They have room, fresh air, beautiful surroundings, while the arts and sciences are involved in their work, and isolation is absolutely abolished." "Nothing can be gained any longer by quitting the farm. It stands for everything that is attractive, whose some and profitable; but at the same time it stands for the new and the stimulating Country life cannot be made dull, unless it wilfully revers itself from advantages that are freely offered." WILD MUSTARD GREAT PEST. Not Useful Like Its Eatable Cousins, but an Indefatigable Menace. About an troublesome a weed as the farmer the world over has to deal with in the charlock or wild mustard. It is prolific in the extreme and, unlike its black and white cousins, is not only wortless, but harmful. About the only way to control it is to use a spray BRASSER TO DEFROY WELDS. made up of either a 2 per cent solution of copper sulphate or a 15 per cent solution of iron sulphate. The quantity needed is from fifteen to twenty gallons to the acre, and American grain growers go after it with a sort of watering cart. It is particularly obvious in when fields, not only thinking growth but making the harvesting of the crop a matter of great difficulty. Creek an Ideal Farm Hand. A widensake farmer noticed that his creek, if dammed at a certain place would produce a six foot waterfall. He built a dam and put in a water wheel—a $300 turbine that yielded twenty-five horsepower. Over the water wheel he built a powerhouse in which he placed a dam into for the water wheel to run. The electricity was wired 1,700 feet to the farm buildings. Then he put his electricity to work in every power place about the premises. He hewed and tugged the house did the cooking and the washing and ironing, did the washing and dusting heat eggs—did three different speeds too—did the cream freezer and in all it animated the house with fans. can save animal.

A 147 Day Test Shows Loss of 1,870 Pounds in 500 Bushels. To those engaged in the handling of grain the natural shrinkage of shelled corn while in storage and in transit is a matter of prime importance and often a source of dispute because of shortage reported at time of receipt at warehouse and a further loss at date of final sale. In order to determine the amount of shrinkage or loss of weight occurring in shelled corn containing various percentages of moisture while in storage in elevators or during transit in cars the department of agriculture, in cooperation with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company and the Baltimore chamber of commerce, has conducted an experiment with 500 bushels of shelled corn, the test beginning Jan. 5, 1910, and lasting 117 days. The coin used was taken from regular car receipts and was left in the wooden hanger of a 20(8) pound scale at Elevator 11 of the Baltimore and Ohio system at Locust Point, Baltimore. At the time of storage the moisture content was 155 per cent and at close of the last 117 per cent, or a loss of 41 per cent. The weight per bushel had decreased from 517 pounds to 50 pounds, and the total loss of weight was 1570 pounds, or slightly more than 1 per cent. ALWAYS USE PIECE GATE. Little Morn Trouble to Make, but It's Handy and It Lasts. Mr C A Thomas in the Homestead gives an idea for an up to date two gate that should be carefully skilled by every entertaining farmer. It is made wide enough to allow a bar rack to pass through. The small section of the gate makes the handling easier when a person wishes to pass through, besides lessening the strain that would come on the gate were it made in one way. The larger section of the gate shuts against a short post, which is set in CHAP BUT INVALUABLE GATE the ground and sawed in such a manner as to leave a back for the gate to shut against, as illustrated. The short 2 by 4 is held in place by strap iron clips and holds the gate rigid. In doing choren, when passing through it, the 2 by 4 is slipped back on the larger gate and the hook used to keep the gate closed. A farmer bought a sow and eight pigs over a year ago for $40. He wintered her mainly on alfalfa, and tast spring she produced eleven pigs. He sold the pigs, two litters, when fat for $14.14, which wasn't all profit, of course. The sow after a summer on alfalfa and blue grass has twelve pigs now. Next! Lee Childre Make Money. Why not give the boys-yes, and the girls, too-n little spending money patty? Let them have all they raise on it and you help them to dispose of their crop. This kind of treatment goes a long way toward content and happiness. Live Stock Notes. Nine times out of ten "slobbering" is caused by rough or sharp edges of the teeth irritating the sides of the mouth. Many horses after reaching fifteen years are bothered by their teeth. An English remedy to prevent horses from gnawing mangers and feed troughs is to give the wood a coat of tar, put on with an old brown white bat. It is claimed that this is a sure cure for an annoying and destructive build. Horses and girls should be taught to milk the cows, separate the cream and claw. It is a great handkap to children to rear them ignorant of such necessary work around the home. Let them have care of the cows and teach them to treat the animals kindly. The mysterious actions of a horse which whirls and bites himself savagely are due undoubtedly to the presence of worms in unusual numbers. The rubbing of the tail is another symptom. A wise course of treatment is to give a pint of raw oil or four drums of nitrous in a bull. After it has caused to not give a vermifuge. The milk house or milk room should be separate from the barn so that nodders from the barn will penetrate it. It need not be expensive, but should be built so that sunlight and ventilation are not obstructed. It should be provided with plenty of cold water and, also with some method of providing hot water or steam for cleaning the stamina. It should have smooth walls and cottings such as can easily be kept clean. The milk house should not be used as a general stormroom. Douglass' Place in History By Dennis S.

In summing up the life of Frederick Douglass, it must be borne in mind that he was the first colored man to gain any considerable notoriety in the affairs of the American people. It is true that he came forward at a time that afforded great opportunities for one of his race who had more than ordinary ability, and much that he accomplished was due to this fact. He was a natural product of his age and was largely developed by the peculiar circumstances by which he was surrounded. That he was, seemingly, the right man in the right place, and he arose to the emergency, accomplishing where ordinary men would have failed with like opportunities, because he was made of the right material. In the most reliable information obtainable, it seems that Mr. Douglass was born in Tuckahoe, Md. durha. February, 1817, on the thirteenth of the month, according to historian and the year 1912 there are mark the ninety-fifth anniversary of his birth. At the age of ten years Mr. Dugliss was sent to Baltimore, where he learned to read a write. He was asked to attend a school a week by William Lord Gannon. During the summer of 1811 he attended an anti-slavery convention at Nantucket, and make a speech which was so well received that he was called the age of the Massachusetts And Slave Society. In this capacity he travelled and lectured through the New England states for four years. Large audiences were attracted by his graphic description of slavers and his eloquence of speech. At this time he published his first book, "Narrative of My Experience in Slavey." He went abroad in 1815 and lectured on slavery to enthusiastic audiences in all the prominent cities of Europe. In 1816 his friends in England raised a purse of $750 to purchase his freedom in due form of law. He remained two years in Great Britain and in 1817 began the publication of "Frederick Douglass' Paper," at Rochester, N. Y., whose title was afterward changed to the "North Star" "My L: Lage and Free n." was published in 1855. When the John Brown riots took place in Virginia in 1859, he was supposed to be implicated in these and Governor Wise made requisition for his arrest upon the Governor of Mich gan, in which state he then was. To avoid arrest Mr. Douglass went to England, where he remained for eight months. He afterward returned to Rochester and resumed the publication of his paper. In 1861, at the beginning of the Civil War, he urged upon President Lincoln the employment of Negro troops and the issuance of an emancipation proclamation. In 1836, when the President had finally decided to employ such troops, he gave his assistance in enlisting men for such regiments, especially the Fifty-fourth and Fifty-ninth Massachusetts. Following close upon the abolition of slavery, he discontinued the publication of his paper and applied himself to the preparation and delivery of lyric lectures. During the latter part of 1873, he again engaged in news work, becoming editor of the National Era, in Washington, of which the publication was later continued by his sons, Lewis and Perdierick. The following year Mr. Douglas was appointed assistant secretary to be commission to San Domingo, and upon his return President Grant appointed him one of the territorial councils for the District of Columbia. In 1872 he was elected presidential THE LEGEND OF THE WORLD'S FINEST MUSICIAN THE LATE FREDERICK DOUG-LASS, Orator, Statesman, Diplomat and one of the Foremost Men in American History—His Birth February 11th.

In 1871 he was appointed United States marshal for the District of Columbia. After this he became Recorder of Deeds for the district, from which office he was removed by President Cleveland in 1886. In the autumn of that year he revisited England to inform the friends he he made while a fugitive slave of the progress of the African tax in America. Upon his return to this country President Harrison appointed him mini- tor to Haytn in 1854. He was sent to Havtirin United States man- of war arriving at Haytn on the 5th of October, 1854, just as the coun- tries was creatin from one of the worst rebellions dat- ing in history for years. The government created upon his arrival was simply provisor and even after the new President to de- THE LATE FREDERICK DOUG-L and one o fthe Foremost Men in Aary Lith. Should be Celebrated. there was some delay in the arrival and presentation of his credentials. These circumstances gave rise in the United States to persistent rumors that the Haytiun government had refused to receive Mr. Douglass on account of his color. They were dented, however, and Mr. Douglass was finally warmly received. The Haytiun ministry was the last position in the gift of the United States held by Mr. Douglass. The Havtien government made an appropriation of money in 1892 for the Columbian exposition and appointed Mr. Douglass the senior of her two commissioners to the exposition. After its close he held no other office, but lived quietly in Washington up to the time of his death. No other Negro had been so prominent in public affairs as Mr. Douglass up to the time of his death and there is no probability at this time of any other reaching the place ```markdown ``` he occupied in political and public life. There are few students of today who really comprehend the value and magnitude of the life work of this grand patriot of the Negro race. Many are wont to condemn him for his marriage to a white woman, but long before this incident in his life the fruits of his untiring efforts had shown themselves in the rapid progress of his people throughout the length and breadth of the country. There were many underlying principles in Mr. Douglas' make-up that impelled him to choose the life that was so well spent. There were very few people of any nationality at the time of his boyhood possessed of that degree of acumen with which fortune favored him. As a boy he was diligent and persevering, for he knew that industry would enable the poorest to achieve honor, if not distinct. It was the man of young Douglas to make a reputation not only for himself, but for the man as well. LASS, Orator, Statesman, Diplomat American History—His Birth February Throughout the Nation. and he reasoned that the two most precious things this side of the grave were a man's reputation and life. But he lamented the fact that the most contemptible whisper could deprive a man of his reputation, and the weakest weapon of his life. In view of this fact, he was always more anxious to deserve a good name than to possess it, as it taught him to so live as not to be afraid to die. As Mr. Douglass grew into manhood he realized that character was one of the greatest motive powers in the world; in its noblest embodiments it exemplifies human nature in its highest form, because it exhibits man at his best. Commonplace though it may appear, this doing of one's duty embodies the highest ideal of life and character, and Mr. Douglass felt at all times that the highest and most solemn duty of the citizen was the support of those principles that tend to ```markdown ``` make the world better. It is hardly probable that Frederick Douglass will ever be given the credit due him by the members of his race, for the invaluable service he rendered it; in the minds of all American citizens he built a monument of perpetual interest that will be handed down from generation to generation. Generations may come and go, but the name of Douglass will live for all time; along with the leading statesmen, builders and leaders of America not only, but of the world, his name will take front rank in history, because his life was an incentive and encouragement to all downtroceden and unfortunate human beings. It is possible to trace the evolution of social organization and the progress of mankind along many differing paths. The battles of progress have been fought on many different lines, and under many names. One historian traces the rise of civilization in the "progress of religious ideas." Another follows the gains made in the direction of personal liberty, the enlarging opportunity and security of the individual under the law. There is an economic interpretation of history and a growth illustrated in letters and the arts. There are great times of progress now, before which the world makes obeyance to service in advance, attainments, each along his own path of wide recourse to his own power. Douglas' place, however, was in none of these categories. His is not the work of a Moses, nor a man a Montfort or a Hampden, a Cobden, a Shakespeare, or a Midday, or so. To find his historical place we must turn to still another phase of human society and its expanding life. To Douglas longs much of the honor of the solving of the many intricate problems that obtained at the time of his rise in life, and when Providence saw fit to call him from his earthly labors it were as if every wheel of industry had ceased to roll. The great Douglas had gone. The Negro race knew not which way to turn for a lead, such as he had seen, and what the race had within its ranks about, of men and women of talent that were, and are yet, accomplishing along many lines, none have ever been brought forward to fill the space left vacant by Douglas. He had filled a space peculiarly only to himself. He was or born to lead; broad in his views and of liberal thought, he was able to understand the world and its people; he knew what it required to go on in the world. Rightly did he consider when he said: "Men do not live by bread alone; so with nations, they are not saved by art, but by honesty; not by the gilded splendors of wealth, but by the hidden treasures of many virtues; not by the multiplication of great incations of the flesh, but by the celestial guidance of the spirit." Frederick Douglass was one of a trio of the greatest Negroes the world has ever produced. The others are Toussaint L'Overture and Richard Allen. The monument to L'Overture is the black republic which he founded and consecrated with his blood. Richard Allen's monument is the great African Methodist church, with its thousands of communicants and schools of learning. The monument to Frederick Douglass is the new citizen—the Negro. Shall we not strive to emulate the splendid example of Mr. Douglass? MAPLE HILL John Oliver, aged 20, and Miss Helen Bradley, aged 16, were married Tuesday.
