W. Ws. Wouldn't Fight? To the Editor of The Times: In an editorial paragraph in The Times you speak of compulsory enlistment in the United States army. You say, "All of these I. W.

W. bandits and outlaws should be compelled to enlist in the army and be sent down to the Mexican border to protect the country, while the better class of citizens who compose the militia could be sent home to their useful work." Now. Mr. Editor, what kind of protection do you really think these men who go from town to town by mobs of hundreds, intimidating the conductors and brakemen on freight trains would render our country as soldiers? Many of these wanderers are vagrants from our large cities, who collect in crowds and travel via the railroads in summer, returning to the great cities to winter. They claim to be looking for work in the harvest fields.

But what would a city vagrant know about shocking or stacking grain? He would be of no earthly use to our farmers, in harvest. These traveling mobs of idle men are a menace to our railroads and the men who operate the trains, as well as to our towns. Clay Center does not desire a car load to get off there, neither do any other towns. We have vagrancy laws, but they are too expensive to the community to enforce them by taking in vagrants by the car load so the town's officers usually forbid these mobs of idle men to get off the cars, and the train men can do nothing with them. We believe every man born into this world ought to have an opportunity to work at reasonable wages, and be forced to work to earn an honest living.

All these hordes of idle wanderers must have something to eat and clothes to wear. Is it not better to have "public work" for these idle wanderers than for those who do labor to feed and clothe them, and call it charity? There are thousands of miles of public roads in the United States that ought to be graded and put into condition for use. How much longer will our boasted government allow hordes of idle men to wander and menace its citizens? As the years go by their number will increase. We understand that in Germany no crowds of vagrants roam, but work is provided, and the idle are compelled to labor. But in boasted America, hordes of idle men are free from honest labor, and roam the country, and live off of those who do work.

There are hundreds of city vagrants who are (to hear them tell it) always looking for work. They do not know how to do any useful work, to begin with. Probably they are looking for work and hoping they won't find it. Talk about making soldiers out of this class of as much use for the Y. M.

C. A. as a June bug has for the nebular he ALL REMNANTS SUMMER GOODS AT HALF PRICE. After the Orpet murder case was finished, the papers reported: "When the words, 'Not guilty' fell from Judge Donnelly's lips, Orpet's mother, who sat at his right, clasped him to her and kissed him, her eyes shining with triumph and pride." While the jury decided Orpet innocent, It hardly looks as though it would be a matter of triumph and pride to a mother to think that her son had seduced a young girl, then threw her over, quit her cold and left her to kill herself in the snow. Orpet may not have killed the girl, directly, but isn't he guilty of her death? F.

Oscar E. Peterson. COUNTY CLERK. Some Good Oats. Frank Hughes of Exeter township was up to Clay Center the first of the week and told The Times he had just finished threshing his oats.

His field, which was a good sized one, averaged over 50 bushels of oats to the acre and the quality was fine. It is as good an oats yield as The Times has heard of this year. Hughes farms the old Fulton farm, which used to be reported as a poor farm, but Frank has manured it and improved it and is getting as good results from it as from any farm in the county.

Carnahan, the Clay county farmer who is running for the state Senate on the Republican ticket, at the primary, when it comes' to thrifts and ability to get ahead. It is true that Carnahan came to Kansas not many years ago with only his brain and two hands. He now is one of the prosperous farmers of the county, besides raising a fine, large family, his own boss and everything he owns free from debt. How many men do you know in Clay county, who, if they were thrown entirely upon themselves at 21 years of age, in a strange state, where they were absolutely unknown, would, by the time they were middle aged, be on their feet financially, the owner of a fine farm and the head of a good family? That is what Carnahan has done and he deserves great credit for it, credit that few other men in the county can claim. Mr.

Carnahan is a most likable man and has shown himself a successful legislator. He was a tower of strength in the state house of representatives a few years ago and will make the Clay-Dickinson district a wonderfully fine state senator. The district would be fortunate in having him its senator.

Edward Carlson, Morganville, Kan. STATE SENATOR. A Wedding Anniversary. Saturday evening, July 8th, the palatial country home of Mr. and Mrs.

O. P. Hainey was thrown open and Mr. and Mrs. L.

P. Hainey entertained the members of the Golden Rule club and their families, to the number of fifty, complimentary to Mr. and Mrs. O. P.

Hainey, it being their thirty-second wedding anniversary. The Hainey home is ideal for such a gathering; the beautiful spacious rooms were brilliantly lighted and the decorations, consisting or potted plants, garden flowers and sweet peas lent a halo of gladness to this happy occasion. The formal receiving was in the east parlor. Mr. and Mrs.

L. P. Hainey stood at the head of the line and were assisted in greeting the guests by Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Hainey and Mr.

and Mrs. O. P. Hainey. After being greeted by the hostess and the friends who shared in receiving, the guests were ushered into the music room to spend a delightful evening in social chat and music.

Especially beautiful was the song, "One Fleeting Hour," sang in a clear sweet voice by Miss Ethyl Kootz, her accompanist being Miss Maude Eastman. At 11 p. m. a dainty two course luncheon was served, the hostess being assisted by Mrs. Eshom, Mrs.

May and Mrs. Yoakum. As the hands of the clock crept on towards midnight, reminding us that good nights must soon be said, Miss Marie Coffey sang in her clear, strong voice, the song so old, yet ever new, and which touches a responsive chord in all our hearts, "Silver Threads Among The Gold." She was accompanied on the piano by her sister. Miss Ruth Coffey. Then the guests congratulated Mr.

and Mrs. Hainey on this their thirty-second wedding anniversary, wishing them many, many happy returns of the day, said their good nights and departed homeward, and one more important event is marked on the social calendar of the Golden Rule club. The Hainey families have lived among us only a short time, but during that time have made many warm friends. Mr. Hainey Sr.

bought what is known as the "Dale Farm" about two years ago and during this time both sons have brought to this community their brides. These three families have won the respect and esteem of the entire community. It is a pleasure to meet and count as friends such high minded, clean, intellectual people as the Haineys.
