Resolutions of
Respect
Whereas the Supreme Commander in His infinite wisdom has seen fit to
call from our ranks another comrade, Wm. Calvert, be it resolved that we, his
surviving comrades, bow in humble submission to His Divine will, knowing that he
doeth all things well. Another comrade has answered the final roll call and gone

we too must soon be mustered our and go to join the ranks of our comrades gone
before. And be it further resolved that we extend our warmest sympathies to the
bereaved relatives in their hour of sorrow. And be it further resolved that a

...Louisa Hance was one of the most pleasing features
of the evening, and provoked much merriment, but the most amusing number on the
program was the pantomime entitled, "Everybody works but father." This fairly
brought the house down, which led some to remark that possibly there were a few
such fathers not far away. The last number on the program was a play, "Parted by
Patience." The play was well carried out, and was a credit to those who took
part in it. The program was nicely arranged and finely given. Miss Dillon has
just cause for self congratulation on having given the public so pleasing an
entertainment. She proved herself a successful teacher while here, and carries
home with her the respect and good will of this community.

Board Meets
The Board of Review of Belmont township will
meet at Webster on Monday, April 18, 1910. G. H. Waters, Assessor.
...He
believes it is all right to publicly accuse them of bad faith with the people
they are sworn to serve, and wilful failure to enforce the laws they are sworn
to enforce and accuse them of making a hideous nightmare out of the matter of
enforcement of the laws that are most easily enforced, but when it comes to
bringing him into court to testify to what he knows about law violations, and
the shoe begins to pinch him, he then grows eloquent on the matter of the
obligation of officials to keep such matters a secret. He is so shocked to think
that a summons would be issued to a man of his standing that for a time he
considers the mandate of the court a joke. And when he finally condescends to
obey the order of the court he believes the spectacle of a man who claims he
knows so much acknowledging that he knows nothing ought to be carefully housed
in the "manly breast of the county attorney." The law contemplates that when a
man gives incriminating evidence against another in these investigations, the
evidence should not be divulged, but when a man comes in as "Stroller" did and
flatly denies knowing anything, there is no rule of secrecy binding. On the
other hand the public ought to be enlightened as to such exhibitions in court by
the men who are so ready to criticise the officials. The dissatisfaction over
this matter is all caused by one mans failure to hold himself amenable to the
same laws to which others are subject. One man's lack of appreciation of that
heaven born principle enunciated by Thomas Jefferson, that "all men are created
free and equal," is all that raises any controversy over this matter. Again it
is a fact that the proceedings of the court of inquiry were carefully housed in
the manly breast of the county attorney, and the cause of the publishing was the
fact that "Stroller," with his characteristic eagerness to spread the gospel of
his limited knowledge abroad went immediately upon the public streets and
thoroughfares and into the Record office and communicated the result of his trip
into court. This came directly through him to the ears of a reporter for the
Review who after dark that...

Socialist
Convention A representative body of Rooks county Socialists met at the Electric
Theatre, in Stockton, Saturday, April 9th. A set of resolutions was adopted and
the following candidates were placed in the field for nomination at the August
primary: ...Resolution
Resolved That we the Socialists of Rooks county in
mass convention assembled here do declare our satisfaction with the growth of
the Socialists movement during the last two years. It is plain to everyone who
is watching the trend of human interests that spirit of Socialism is leavening
society and that both churches and state are yielding to its influence.
Capitalism recognizes this social power as the one enemy capable of ending its
autocratic and barbarous rule. Resolved - that we rejoice in the knowledge that
Socialists are being elected to positions of public trust in various parts of
the country and we rejoice especially because of the splendid victory in
Milwaukee. In this great city years of corrupt capitalist government have been
ended by placing the city in the hands of Socialists. We foresee improved social
conditions in Milwaukee. With the rights of labor protected and capital kept
within lawful bounds. Resolved - That in our opinion the time is ripe for an
active Socialist campaign in Rooks County. We believe that many Rooks County
voters are ready to ally themselves with the political movement which purposes
not only to conserve human life but to maintain human liberty. Resolved - That
we hereby pledge our best endeavors to make a successful campaign in Rooks
County this fall for the purpose of spreading the Socialist propaganda and
building up the Socialist party. Signed: D. H. Sollenbarger, W. H. Coldiron, M.

the argument in the Splitter divorce case were completed and the Court ruled
that Mr. Splitter was not entitled to any divorce, that Mrs. Splitter wasn't
entitled to alimony that Mr. Splitter should pay her attorneys $400 and should
pay her $100 to cover expenses of the trial. The decision was probably a
disappointment to both parties. Mr. Splitter was anxious for a divorce, and the
woman being poor was very desirous of receiving alimony. The costs will of
course, be pretty steep on Mr. Splitter, but when a man of Splitter's age
insists on dancing, he must certainly settle with the musicians.

To the Public
There is
naturally some apprehension on the part of one calling a Public sale where you
offer the accumulation of a lifetime to the highest bidder.
The next thought
that enters your mind is "Who shall I get for an Auctioneer?" By all means get
the one you want if you can. If he can't give you the date you want, so much the
better. The Auctioneer that you can always hire is usually the most expansive
one.
My past success causes me to think I have ability and judgment enough to
make your sale satisfactory. No piles of junk or rows of machinery too long. The
good stuff invariably brings its true worth. The good averages on sales and the
amounts that exceed your expectation is usually made on the poorer class of
stuff.
W. T. Pfleiderer, Auctioneer
Phone 250. Stockton, Kansas
References: The banks or anyone who has employed me, and some who wish they had.
We understand the road running south of Lee Hall's will soon be opened up
for travel. It should have been done before this but better late than never.
Joe Armstrong spent Saturday night and Sunday at the home of his sister,
Mrs. Glenn Kenny, of Webster. We understand there is another attraction at that
burg in the form of a nice looking girl, that requires most of his attention.
That is alright, Joe, for we like yourself, think the old house would look
better occupied.
We can't understand why some of our young farmers who
are choking over their own cooking' and wearing their jaws out trying to chew
pancakes that look more like chest protectors than pancakes, don't propose to
some of the nice looking girls of this place, and get a cook who can prepare an
appetizing and easily digested meal. Boys, brace up and get down to business,
for the girls are just as anxious to cook for you as your are to have them do
it. Several of our most attractive young ladies have privately confessed that
the height of their ambition is to become the presiding queen of the heart and
home of some good, industrious farmer. Boys, wake up and bestir yourselves, and
secure some of the "Jewells" that are yours for the asking.

The barbers of the nation are
firmly opposed to the recent action taken by the city council of Waterloo, Iowa,
in passing an ordinance prohibiting the barbers of that city from eating onions
and other high smelling articles of diet. They say that there should be a
national law making it unlawful for a man to ask for a chair-cut, shave, or
massage whose breath is tainted with onions, tobacco or liquor. If this is not
feasible the barbers say an exchange of breathlets should be permitted before
the work of shaving or hair-cutting begins.--Ex.

Very Truly, A Voter
Yesterday, J. O. Adams, one of our home merchants,
persuaded a farmer living near town to show him a bill of groceries he had sent
to Montgomery Ward & Co. for, and let him make a comparison with his prices
here. The bill of groceries together with $2.50 freight the farmer had paid
amounted to $12.91 and the prices on the same stuff at Mr. Adams' regular retail
prices amounted to $12,41, or fifty cents less than the Kansas City firm's
prices. We will have more to say of this matter later.

Serious Accident
Saturday last while Charley Martin was assisting at sawing

into the circular saw, splitting the thumb from the end almost to the last
joint. He went at once to Dr. Oechsli's office and the doctor amputated the
parts of the thumb, taking almost all the thumb away. The injured parts were
well dressed and in the evening Charley said he was feeling quite comfortable.
But it is a sad mishap as he will miss this member very seriously in his work.
He is an industrious young man and we are all very sorry for him.

Ray Feleay, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Feleay of this city. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. R. C. Harding, pastor of the First Christian church of this
city in the presence of the relatives of the contracting parties. The bride and
groom were both born in Rooks county ad have lived about all their lives in
Stockton, where they have made friend of all with whom they came in contact. The
bride is the second and youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Adams and is a
charming young woman. The groom is the second son of Mr. And Mrs. Feleay, is a
carpenter by trade and a young man of sobriety and industry. They will make
their home in this city, occupying the Mullen property on Purity Row. They
already have their home nicely furnished and will go to housekeeping at once,
and their many friends unite in wishing them success and happiness.

him to stay below the frost line which means that several months each year he
will spend in the southland, but the summers up north. His work will cause him
to travel much, and at this time he has not decided where his family will
reside, possibly Salina. We hope his health will be speedily and permanently
benefitted by the change. He is a tireless worker in the Master's Vineyard, and
recognized as one of the ablest ministers in the Salina Conference.

the river about three o'clock Sunday. He with two other small boys were bathing
in the river about a mile below the mouth of Medicine Creek, and getting in too
deep water was unable to get out. Funeral services were conducted Tuesday and
the remains laid to rest in the Lowell Cemetery. The little fellow was a bright
boy about ten years of age and loved by all. He had taken an active part in the
children's exercises in the forenoon at the church.

social held at the grove north of the M. E. Church was a very enjoyable time for
the children and also for all who attended.
