He is a stalemaker and a hardworking individual in and one of Cooke's most substantial citizens. He promises if elected to this office to give the people a fair and honest administration. He also says that he has no money to spend, but desires the people to give him a show as a working man, to demonstrate his ability.

A PORFER CLUB FORMED A "Porter for Commissioner" club was organized last night at 618 Kansas avenue by a number of friends of William Porter, candidate for commissioner of park, and public buildings. This is the first candidate club organized in the present city campaign. The fifty men who attended the preliminary organization meeting of the club last night decided to form a similar club in every present in the city to host their meetings for the position now held by, H. Stotts. Resolutions indicating Porter, and dearing against a road-striking campaign were adopted. GEORGE N.

Mr. Crichton believes in running the government according to law and dealing fair and honestly with all men regardless of creed, color, or political affiliation. He will appr ate anything you may do to further our candidacy. (Akt) STOP'S A FOUNDATION OF RACE Colored People Benefited by His Election as City Commissioner. To E. B. Stotts, Commissioner of Parks and Public Property, belongs the credit for numerous appointments which have been favorable to the colored people of Topeka. There are more colored men on the pay rolls of his departments than there has ever been in the past and our rate has received uniformly better treatment. Do Mr. Stotts belongs the credit for John M. Wright filling the best place within the gift of the City Commission - Adyt IO THE VOTERS OF TOPEKA. I desire to announce my candidacy for Commissioner of Parks and Public Property. I make this selection of a position under the new law on account of my twenty years' experience in billing, contracting and simulation together with a wide experience in business and dealing with people generally. My petitions were circulated just two days, receiving three hundred names with at least two thirds business men. If elected will give the city a careful business administration. My home is 600 Harrison street. Respectfully, (Advt.) W. BOIINGER. FORMER MAYOR R. L. COFRAN? Proprietor of Western Foundry in a Candidate for Mayor of Topeka. Mr. R. L. Cofran, owner of the Western Foundry and Machine Shops, which he established in 1876 and has since successfully operated, and who three times was elected mayor of Topeka, is a candidate again after having for some years been retired from politics. Mr. Cofran was mayor of Topcha at a time in its history when being mayor was a that kills job and one not to be dressed. When the reinstitution days of the city were about a time when there was little public and other improvements of which we now owe a proud were not the mod of by most people. Mayor Cofran knew that this, the city shall prov, shall be a metropolitan city—not a mere village, and set about under difficulties to start her on the right road. Most of the fine public improvements now enjoyed had their beginning while he was mayor. Mr. Cofran is the business man and governer of miles among his men. Although the employer of many laboring men and fine mechanics. He always pays a satisfactory wage. His employees do not have to strike or have any arbitration committee to act any concessions from him. This has been his policy since the day he established the plant which he owns and operates. When he was Mayor every man that worked for him in his private business or for the city liked "Bob" Cofran as he is familiarly known. Mr. Cofran is all right and will make a fire Mayor as he old in the past. THE BEST FOR LEAVENWORTH. Mr. Omar Abernathy, one of the most substantial business men in Leavenworth is a candidate for the nomination of mayor. He is one of the largest taxpayers in the city and employs several hundred men. He served Leavenworth as mayor from 1999 to 1911. That he is a splendid gentleman and would make an excellent official may be seen by the following tribute paid him by his home paper, The Leavenworth Times; This spring three excellent citizens of Leuvenworth are aspirants for the office of mayor, making it difficult for many voters to decide which should be supported. To be perfectly safe, there is no question but that either Caur Abernathy, E. W. Craneer or Pet. Everlandy would make a good head for the city commission. It is true, however, that some candidates for public office invariably have better qualifications to serve the people than others. The Leavenworth Times has always felt it to be its duty as a newspaper to give expression to its opinions upon municipal matters and to discuss those who are candidates for public office and the principles for which they stand, and the opinion of this paper is always based upon what it believes to be for the best interests of Leavenworth. And so without the slightest reflection upon the worth of the other can- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING MARCH 21, 1913. dulates The Times desires to say that, at this juncture, it believes that the selection of Omar Abernathy to the office of mayor of Leavenworth would best serve the interests of the city. There is no disguising the fact that, at this time, Leavenworth greatly needs that some extraordinary effort be put forth to advance her commercial interest. At present not a wheel is being turned along the lines of municipal advancement. More factories and more wage earners can and should be brought to Leavenworth. (Advt.) Mr. Harry Hauon, candidate for Commissioner of Water Works and Street Lighting, is one of the best and most favorably known men in New York. He is competent, truthful and honest. What other qualifications are required to fulfill such an office? None, so if you are looking for a man who can and will do the work, Mr. Hauon should be first in your mind and you should stick to him. Mr. L. Crancer, candidate for Mayor of Leavenworth, has conducted business in this city for sixteen years, and just so long has success crowned his every effort. The hard knocks in the world of business has so educated him that he is capable to take hold of any proposition that requires brains and skill and pilot it to success. He is large hearted, careful, painstaking and honest—a combination that will bring success and prosperity to any business—public or private, and if chosen to serve the people of Leavenworth as Mayor, he will be mayor for rich, poor, white and black alike. What more could one expect? --- Mr. Henry Dolde, candidate for Commission of Finance and Revenue is now serving the city of Leavenworth in that capacity, and he has made great in every instance. There should be no question about re-electing Mr. Dolde. I shall not record stories that his every act, word and deed, has to guard and protect the people' money, and I see that it was not w. sufficiently expended. He has lost faithfully every trust impaired in him, and now he is not asking the support of any we as a matter of chance or long-term acquisition, but as a reward for intolerant service. Remember him at the polls. Lewyton, woman and child in Leavenworth know Peter Everhardy, I will know that he is competent, will wait hard to cure for, the affliction of Leavenworth, and raise him high in the contact I and maternity world. Peter Everhardy has been in Leavenworth since 1856, and if elected, the office of mayor would be no experiment with him, as he rendered the city signal service in this same office several years ago. He defeated one of the most powerful and influential men in the West, and as mayor, he pleased people of all complexions and kinds. Mr. Everhardy is for a greater Leavenworth, and if elected his energies will be centered in that direction. W. E. BROWN CITY ATTORNEY A Wide-awake Young Lawyer. Has the Inside Track. The people's candidate for City Attorney of the City of Atchison at the spring election April 1st, is a young lawyer, Walter E. Brown. Mr. Brown has practiced law in the city of Atchison since he graduated from the Law Department of the State University at Lawrence, class 1909. The Plaindealer representative was well pleased to sing the colored voters of Atchison loud in their praise for too much young Republican. He open expression for fair play to all mankind of the great treatment our citizen, may expect when he is elected City Attorney. The colored man wants one official he can ap proctom without meeting the expression of a cold indifferent face, because he is black. In the last Republican convention, Mr. Brown was in favor of a greater representation on committees, etc. that had been before given the colored people. He is unquestionably honest and coupled with his legal ability the grave questions confronting the city will certainly be handled to the people's interest. One co-lored man said "Walter Brown is no close friend of the Silk Stocking Democrat THE NEW YORKER M. G. GARDNER, a Prominent Kansas City, Kansas, Business Man. who thinks his money can buy enough of us when he needs the votes." Mr. Brown's statement to the public has been read and re-read by every voter in the city of Atchison, and to repeat same would be out of order, but The Plaindealer wishes to state right here, that the document covers the grounds thoroughly, and answers every question that means progress and prosperity to the citizen and taxpayers of Atchison. He favors that which will make the city grow and prosper, and if the voters fail to elect him, it means a step backward in the march of progress. HON. CHAS. A. BROWN FOR MAYOR OF ACHISON. His Platform a Vote-Winning One Pledges to Be Left if Placed. Mr. Chas. A Brown is in the running for Mayor of Atchison and indications are that he will prove a formid. he candidate in the race and he is making this strength on his platform, which includes a promise for an assistance of pure water at lowest cost; a vinduct or subway at railroad crossings; beautification of the city; improvement of the city park; favors all franchises he given by the votes of the citizens, and favors all vacant space belonging to the city to be used as playgrounds. On such a platform he stands an excellent chance to win, and if elected he pledges that all these promises and more will be redeemed. If you believe in some or all of these things Mr. Brown will appreciate your support. ARGENTINE, KANSAS. Rev.

As we see our love decay; And the hope so firmly chelished, Brightens, but to pass away." Miss Naomi Smith was born in the city April 2, 1885, died Monday morning March 10, 1913. She was coupled and knew every one to the last. She professed a hope in Christ when about the age of fourteen and joined the Cumberland Presbyterian church and was a member of the same until her death. She always gave freely to the cause of Christ, and was ever active in the promotion and upbuilding of her church. Sister Naomi's life consisting of 27 years 11 months and 8 days, although comparatively short, was after all a long and well spent life, owing to the fact that the years were filled with active work and deeds of kindness from an early age to the date of her demise. Most of her life was spent in the school room. First as a student, then as instructor. She graduated from Lincoln High school in 1901 in a class numbering ten pupils. Being ambitious and wishing to fully prepare herself for the duties and hundreds of life, in 1902 she entered Lincoln Institute at Jefferson City, finishing the course in 1903 in a class of twenty-four. In 1901, she cut up the professional field as a teacher and the last eight and a half years of constant, earnest and unfit labor evidenced her worth as a teacher. In the midst of her labor, Naomi was called to her reward. She was well beloved not only by her many friends, but by all who knew her. Dorothy had illness or about four months, she was patient, kind and sympathetic, hoping against hope that she would recover, yet she said that she was prepared to die. She was very sympathetic and caused no mercy or wont to do. She said of her memory, though only a stpienfet that she was, the best woman on earth. He did she was to see her brother and sister who were away at college was folgled. She knew and spoke to them, even though it was only a short time before she passed into the great beyond. She did not suffer long or very much, but complained of weakness; and it was necessary to relieve her of that tiresome feeling. one leaves home, is in other, three brothers, one sister seven nuns and one niece, a number of cousins and a host of friends to mourn her untimately demise. Mr. Marshall, undertaker, assisted by his wife, beautifully prepared the body and conducted the funeral service. I loquent sermon, words typify ing the beautiful, sweet and pure life Naomi lived were delivered by Dr. J. S. Dosey, Dr. Brooks and Rev. P. C. Danfoith.

Harry Thaw is reaping what he sowed. He played crazy to save himself from the electric chair for the brutal murder of Stanford White, and now he desires his freedom, but justice will fail of its ends if he is released upon the public. All such depraved beings are better off in death, and the bag house is the next thing on the graves. The census bulletin just issued has some interesting data. Of the total population of Kansas, 1,690,919, the colored people have 51,030, or 3.2 per cent. In regard to sex there are 110 men to 100 women. The total number of voters (male) is 508,529, of which 17,588 are colored. These are 28,968 illiterate persons in Kansas, and of this number 5,341 are colored, 2,156 of which are males and 2,885 are females. This latter statement is quite a slam on the colored people of the state and a systematic effort should be inaugurated to reduce this number of illiterates in the next few years eight. There are too many educational facilities open in Kansas for any such degree. No man or woman is too old to learn as long as they can see, and every person in the state who cannot read or write should buy a spelling book and a state and get busy. The new election law will require you to be able to read if you are to vote, and there is no better time to begin than now. Let every pastor in the state turn his church into a schoolhouse for night schools or those who cannot find time in the lay who care to learn, and let the teachers in the public schools show that they have the interests of the race at heart by volunteering their services to teach in these schools. The census reports also show that out of 15,549 ecolored children of school age only 10,017 are attending. The parents are to blame for this and should be aroused to a sense of their duty. Get busy. Mr. Forest Williams, who had been all at the home of his sister, Mrs. Montgomery, for the past five months died Sunday morning. Funeral was held Monday afternoon from Quinn Chapel, A. M.

DORSEY No matter what its purpose the spectacle of a key of beer and other liquor arrayed in God's house of divine worship is past redemption Hereford we have given Governor Hodges credit for being a good judge of men, but if Mr Kemper is a sample to be followed, we are forced to admit we were up a tree We are voted for W. H. Kemper for mayor, and again for secretary of state, but we shall alone for the acts by lawing down in sackcloth and ashes for the next two years, for we are convinced that Kemper goes the Tallman Vardaman ilk one letter If the Rev Mr. Gordon bought the booze he had on exhibition last Sunday and bought it in Topoka he certainly ought to be able to swear to a warrant against the seller, and if he does not care to assist in the suppression of the traffic in the only legitimate way left open he should have a gap rummed down his bazzon until he is willing to cause his foreflushing. The Hyde case in Kansas City has cost in the neighborhood of half a million dollars and the case stands where it did at the start. There is an awful difference in the costs of the trials of the rich and the poor. A poor man must take his chances on the evidence as it is produced, while the rich man can force matters to the point where common evidence will not stand the test. Out here in Kansas one would imagine that prohibition in the liquor traffic is a complete failure, judging from the agitation during the city campaigns. The prohibition question is the one foremost in every spring election, but to attend a meeting of the prohibition cranks and to read the literature sent out by them it would appear that Kansas was the dryest spot on God's green earth. The Rev. M. Gordon may be putting himself in the timelight by his grandstand plays with Mayor Ballard, but if he really has convincing evidence that booze is being sold by persons who are not molested by the law, he should try his hands at swearing out a few warrants for the arrest of some of these offenders, and we venture to say that if he can produce the evidence he claims, some of them will find themselves on the inside looking out. Now, Rev Gordon, do something and talk less one of the last summer gatherings adopted the following: "We recommend that the printer be more careful with his spelling." It is a good recommendation, and we add: "That the secretaries of some of these summer meeting organizations should take a special course in the construction of sentences, the use of punctuation marks; learn how to be concise, and make sure that all names of the persons appearing in the proceedings are correctly spelled, with proper initials. It will be a great help to the printer who prints the minutes." Mr. W. H. Kempur, commissioner of elections, certainly has a grudge against the colored people of Topeka, based no doubt on the belief that he did not get their support in the many times he has been a candidate for office, and now he gets even with them by not appointing a single Negro on the election boards for the primary and election this spring.

In the opinion of a current writer, there are three varieties of farmers—the new farmer, who is the progressive business agriculturist; the old farmer, once up with his times, the pioneer with a wholesome love of work, but little ability as an administrator, and the mossback or the old farmer who has gone to seed, who does not love work and is hopelessly lost in modern competition. He is a drag upon the progress of agriculture and an obstruction in the wheels of the country community organization. The new farmer will take care of himself, and the old farmer and the mossback are rapidly disappearing, but the extension idea is the idea of taking to them the inspiration and help that the new farmers can give.—Country gentleman ```markdown ``` TOOLS FOR THE FARMER. Save Money, Time and Temper by Having the Proper Equipment. Every farmer should keep good tools, so that during bad weather, when work cannot be done in the fields, repairs may be made. This work can be done in the shop. A small shop may be built cheaply. There are many repairs that will be needed during the year. Buildings will need repairs. Implements need fixing, fence materials are to be cut and put up, new devices, handy, contrivances, etc., made. A man handy with tools can save much expense during the year, and the tools will give him employment when perhaps his time would not be profitable otherwise. Boys usually find pleasure in using carpenters' tools. H H White of the agricultural engineering department of the University of Minnesota gives the following list of tools that the average farmer should have: Square, rule, ripaw, mallet, hammer, oilstone, handsaw, wood rasp, jack plane, drawknife, ratchet brace, screwdriver, expansive brace, marking gauge, chisels-half, one and one and a half inch; bits-one-quarter, three eighths, one half, five eighths and three-quarter inch The best plan is to buy good tools Cheap tools will seldom give satisfaction. Then the tools should be kept in a tool box in the shop or some place where they can be protected. Whenever you have finished with one always put it back in its place. Tools to be truly serviceable must be kept sharp. No progressive person can afford to waste time using dull tools. They should also be polished and kept bright - Farm and Ranch GETS THEM BY THE LEGS.

If the owner is on proper terms with his mares and he gives handling the coils when they are quite young and if they are bred of draft type the matter of breaking them is not a question of breaking at all, but one of education. A cot can be educated just the same as a boy, it can be done by the use of the brains or a kickery skiff. If brains are used a good cot will develop into a good horse, just as a good boy will develop into a good man.

MAYOR BILL GARDES FRIENDS PRESIDENT A SCREE VICTORY Declare His Splendid Administration Makes Him So & With the Voters and Titulares. so far as Mayor F. Billard is concerned, he is not taking his shirt over the out caste of the air, running premises. His success is largely making the race for education and public life in the city, so it is up to them to carry the thing through. They say that the bill is admirable, not only in its useful but in its original design. It can any of the professors. He has put a strong energy and executive ability into the air, attains that his aim and object the happiness and prosperity of rich, white and black alike. They sight as one of the many things that should place him up close to the common people, his fight against the gas company in their effort to charge an extortionate price for their product. The Mayor stood pat and fought them like a "Dutch uncle," and won out for the people. They also highly praise his police department, which under the capable management of Chief Jenkins has rendered capable and efficient service. They point with special pride to the manner in which they have raised the standard of this department, that they have been true guardians of the peace—not content with looking out for violators, of the law, but the poor, sick and needy have received equally as much attention. No person or persons have went hungry or cold since Billard has been Mayor and Maurice Jenkins chief of police. Mayor Billard is humane, high-minded and believes that no man should be permitted to suffer, which policy has won him many good substantial friends.

The couple stood in the center of the room, surrounded by beauty, while the ceremony was performed by Rev. H. W. King, pastor of the A. M. E. church. The bride was unattended. She was exquisitely gowned in a blue silk mull, trimmed with pale blue lace. She wore white silk gloves and white kid, slippers. There were no out-of-town guests, just near relatives being present. Quite a number of useful and hand-some presents were received. Rev. Shook is a fine young man. He professed a hope in the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ under the administration of Rev. W S. Blake.

The condition of the latter is quite sad, because he has small children, and his wife, while running to a neighbor's, slipped and sprained an ankle, which had to be put in a cast. This makes it hard on all the family. Mrs. Jessie Guest Hurston departed this life March 12th. She was 22 years of age, and leaves a mother, father, two sisters and one brother to mourn her demise.

Attempts to Grow Fruit Without Fertilizer Are Not Encouraging. The Illinois agricultural experiment station has conducted fertilizer experiments with muskoxes at Anna, in Union county, and at Kimmundy, in Marion county, for several years. The chief objects of the experiments were to determine the relative efficiency of different amounts of manure and methods of application of manure, the effect of supplementing manure with commercial forms of phosphorus, the effect of using a complete commercial fertilizer in connection with manure and the effect of substituting commercial fertilizer for manure in the production of Gemonia. In both instances the experiments were conducted on typa anson soil of the region, that at Anna being unhabilitated yellow slit loam and that at Kimmundy gray slit loam. Attempts to grow incidens without manure were not very encouraging. When the complete commercial fertilizer was used in the hills in place of manure the yields were greatly reduced. This was especially marked in the field. X Photograph by Illinois agriculturals expert recent stating READY FOR THE MARRIOT. planted crop, where many plants were killed outright by the fertilizer and the maturing of the melons was greatly delayed on those that survived. Steamed home applied to the hills gave fair results, but the yields were smaller than from the use of mature in the hills, and some years the plants were "burned" by the fertilizer especially in the field planted crop. The stock plot without manure or fertilizer produced small yields, especially in the field planted crop, where the melons also ripened very late. The results of the experiments referred to in this bulletin indicate that the influence of different methods of fertilizing the muskmelon are more marked upon a field planted than a tranys planted crop, but that the most satisfactory results in either crop are likely to be secured from a moderate amount of well rotted mature in the hills. "BACK TO THE FARM." Let a youth whose sympathies are naturally with the land find out how hard to get enjoyment out of it, and that boy will maintain a farmer. The day will come, is now at hand, in fact, when boys will not be rushing to the cities, but will be hurrying back out of the cities to the land, answering the voice within them which insists and certifies that they can achieve a comfortable living after they have done so.—Raymond A.

(Advertisement) MANAGER GRIFFIN ON THE POLITICAL SITUATION. Sizes Up the Conditions at Wichita and at Leavenworth Concernly. Politics down at the Peerless Princess is already warming up and we find many candidates in the field there for the various offices. Among those most prominent we find that Ray R. Bowers is one of the leading candidates in the field. He is one of the young and hustling business men of Wichita. He has an elegant suite of rooms in the Schweier Building, on the tenth floor. He is a wholesale hay dealer and commission merchant. His volume of business each year is enormous and in every way he is a successful business man. He is thoroughly versed in the business world and this should be and is considered one of the essentials for a competent commissioner. Mr. Howers has a host of close friends and admirers in the business and social life of the city. He readily makes and holds his friends. He courts the closest scrutiny into his private life and business dealings and ability and if found to be all right will be pleased to receive at the hands of a majority of the voters an endorsement of his candidates. Adv. At Leavenworth. Hon. Henry Dolde, the present Commissioner of Finance and Revenue, is, as his many friends and the people of Leavenworth expected and desired that he should be, a candidate for re-election. Mr. Dolde is one of the old inhabitants of Leavenworth, and has spent a lifetime there in the business, financial and commercial field. He is one of the largest cigar and tobacco dealers in the city and has been located in the same building for twenty years, which in itself demonstrates the fact that he is a stayer, and that he knows a good business town when he sees it. For many years he has been associated with the other able and substantial and progressive business men of the community in their associations and has been with them in every enterprise for the betterment of the people at large. Two years ago he was nominated and elected Commissioner of Finance and Revenue, the position to which he now seeks re-election. Commissioner Doble is a true representative of the people. He believes that every public servant should be responsive to the demands and needs of his constituents and of the people at large. In all of his acts in his official capacity he follows that principle and policy. He watches the financial situation and is the watch dog of the treasury. He does not think that a public officer should show less care with the people's money intrusted to his care than he does with his own, and unlike some we have known in other localities he does not think he should spend money for everything and for any cause, so long as it is some one's else money that he is spending, but he carefully guards the treasury and does not consent to any expenditures except those which are lawful and in accord with good public business policy.

Farm and Garden Reasons For Its Use by All Interested In Every Form of Live Stock. No other subject is receiving so much attention from the experiment station, farm quips and farmers institutes as the all. All the great industries depending on the stock are advocating its use. It is a conservation subject of great importance, for with it can be saved a large part of our principal crop. Nearly 40 per cent of the food elements of the corn crop of this country is now wasted. If the use of the all this could be saved, and if so doing hundreds of millions of dollars could be added to our national wealth. in the past seven years the great stock industry of the United States has comparison with our population has been showing a decline. This condition THE MUSEUM OF THE WORLD'S LITERATURE HAS BEEN brought about largely by the rise in price of all kinds of stock foods. This in turn has driven many men out of the stock business and discouraged others from going in. With the rise the cost of producing stock and stock products can be greatly lowered. 142 per centents have shown that by the use of the allo in place of the old testing methods butter can be produced from 5 to 10 cents per pound cheaper and a saving made on the production of butter from $1.50 to $2 per hundred pounds. silage, or ensilage, can be made from nearly all kinds of farm forage and is a good and cheap ration for horses, cattle, sheep, cattle and chickens. It requires little storage space in a horticultural design, doubles the value of the corn crop, triples the stock carrying capacity of the land, replaces the fertility of the soil and returns us annually 100 per cent on the investment.—Farm and Flanch Much farmer should write for the state experiment station and secure the proper furnish formula for whatever crop he desires to grow and mix the plant food indoors on inter face of a great saving to his profit banks and soil Conservation means saving, preserving, and every dollar which the farmer pays out for the middleman profits for wages and for freight must eventually come out of the soil - Cleaner.
