KT1K ONE OF ARMY'S STARS Dwight Eisenhower, Abilene Boy at West Point in Tale Game. Dwight Eisenhower, the local boy who 19 attending the United States Military Academy at West Point, has came out strong this year in the foot ball ine and is putting up a grand game in the army backfield. He is considered one of the foremost men of the squad and the coaches are expecting great things from him in the hard games at hand. Ho was one of the backs in the Rutzers game two weeks ago and played left half last Saturday in their to 0 defeat at the hands of Yale. The Yale-Army game south and east to raise revenue foi the government from other source than tariff in order that they might more easily go to a free trade basis on the scheme of Tariff for revenue only.

For instance, if they can derive enough money for the support of the government from a "National Inheritance which Mr. Thompson says he favors, the country will have no use for tariff duties and hence it must according to the pledge of the Democratic platform, go tc free trade and thus completely' destroy the whole protective system And if the protective system is destroyed what will become of the farmers and laborers when they will have to compete with the pauper la- M.

The Methodists are making large preparations for the special meetings which are to begin in the Methodist church November 10 under the direction of Evangelist Wm. J.

The prospects point to a big meeting from the first gun. Dr. Calfeo is ono ot the most successful of Methodist pastors and is well acquainted with the real needs of the church. He was pastor in one of the largest Methodist churches of tho Kansas Conference before taking up the work of an evangelist. His pastorato was with For Infants and Children.

It is thought that Head Coach LIKES "RAB3IT" POLITICS Thompson Would Tax Widows And Orphans. Topeka, Oct. 2o, 1912.

Mr. Henderson Martin, Chairman, Democratic State Committee, My Dear Mr. Martin: This evening either your committee, or your auxiliary committee, the "Anything-to-beat-Stubbs" surviv-crs of the old machine regime in Kansas, sent through the Topeka postoffice ten mail sacks full of pamphlets telling the people of this state inhere William II. Thompson, your so-called Democratic candidate for United Stales Senator stands on the public questions of the present political campaign. On page twenty-five of that pamphlet there are seventeen numbered 'paragraphs which are headed "Some of the Principal planks in Judge Thompson 's platform.

In plank number fifteen Judge Thompson declares that he "favors" "National Inheritance Tax" and the repeal of the "State Inheritance Tax Law." The statement is in plain English and cannot possibly be either dodged or repudiated. Mr. Hodge, your candidate foi Governor and ail other Democratic candidates for state office, I believe are denouncing all "Inheritance Tax Laws" as infamous. They are falsely accusing fiovernoi Stubbs with being the author of the present Inheritance Tax Law when everybody knows that in his message 1o the legislature he asked for the repeal of the present exemption clause and the substitution therefore of a clause that would catch only the very rich large corporation stock holders and so forth instead of the poor widows and orphans. What I desire you to explain now is this, why does Judge Thompson your candidate for United State? Senator, favor a "National Inheritance Tax Law" that would take the money of the widows and orphans ol Kansas into the United States Treasury instead of having it go into the State Treasury, as is the case now where it would help to lighten the burden of taxes upon the backs of the tax paying people of Kansas.

If it is infamous to tax the widows and orphans of Kansas for the support of State School and other State Institutions how much more infamous would it be to adopt Judge Thompson's plan and tax the widows and orphans of Kansas for the benefit of the National Government which Mr. Taft as well as Mr. Aldlricli admit is already wasting three hundred million dollars of the people's money every year. Governor Stubbs plainly, and very forcibly, points out that it is th'e purpose of the free traders whose influence dominates the present management of the Democrat party in the the Washington Avenue church, Kansas City, Kas. He was also pastor in Council Bluff, Iowa, for a number of years.

He has held special meetings in as largo cities as San Francisco, Louisville, and will go to Portland, Oregon for a big meeting there soon after his meetings close here. Bernard Ycssey is one of the bet known among the younger evangelistic singers, lie is a nephew of the present Governor Ycssey of South Dakota. The chairmen of the committees which have the work of preparation in their charge are): Invitation, Rev F. S. Allnian; personal work, M.

Kansas Equal Suffrage Assn I for one believe that the Canadian farmer, the South American wheat and beef producer and the European manufacturer should 'support oui government rather than that the widows and orphans of Kansas and olhei states should be compelled to do it. You will oblige me greatly and 1 know you will enlighten the public, if you will state why Judge Thompson favors the taxation of Kansas widows and orphans for the support ot the national government when youi party says it is "infamous" to tax them for the support of their own state government and its institutions 1 I again call your attention to paragraph fifteen in Mr.

Thompson's platform where he says he favors this "infamous" plan. In the cover of the Thompson pamphlet, there is a picture of a rabbit, and under fit in largo black-face type he says he is "for it" as a party emblem instead of the "Rooster." If Judge Thompson prefers to go to the United States Senate as a "rabbit" it is his taste no doubt, but I want to tell you that Stubbs does not want to go there representing that animal or what it stands for and I believe the people know it. The trouble with the Senate in recent years and the reason it has become unpopular with the people is that there are too many Bistline-MacDonald.
