We have Sot noticed any move-
ment ln Cushing toward organizing
a company to go to Mexico to fighf
tor the flag. Jn fact the only per
fori whom we have heard expressing
a desire to go—and he has not told
us so himself—is Captain L. P.
Wharton. The Captain, and the ti-
tle is a real one for Brother Wharton
is a captain of tho Kansas National
Guard, has seen service and being
naturally a belligerent, would make
a good soldier and also possesses the
requisite qualities to make a good
officer.
If the Republican and progressive
>rganlzafions are playing simply for
in advantage for the national cam-
paign of 191#, thrty have neither the
tupport of the rank and file of their
parties behind them.
This Is a state, not a national
"ampalgn.
The rank and file of the Progres
slves are probably as anxious to
vote for John Fields as the Repub
Means. Had he been placed before
Progressive convention for noml
nation he would have been as en
t.huslastically endorsed as he was

It happens that he has been stolen

line leaders wanted him, but because

The American people owe a great
leal to the aliens, or those who
mite recently hav® become natural-
ized, for leaaons In thrift.
The average foreign-born citizen
and the average alien Is not a spend-
thrift. In a single year the foreign-
born people of Massachusetts have
sent abroad, via one route, over $9,-
000,000. In addition these same for-
eign-born people have saved—depos-
ited In banks or elsewhere at home
other millions. In this respect, the
oldtlmo American can afford to take
off his hat to most foreign-born, who
are among our most frugal people.
It would be hard to say which are
the most thrifty. French and Ital-
ians stand high in this matter. Thrift
is likewise characteristic of the Ger-
mans. the Scandinavians and the
years and the consequent close times
resulting therefrom.
Cheyenne has had to fight for her
very life and they have won their
fight. Their display of nerve has at
tracted the attention of the entire
«tate, and the "We Will" spirit
which characterizes the people of
Cheyenne and vicinity Is of the kind

makes it an assured fact that a rail
road will be built from the field
Rome point. Cushing is the logical
point from which tho road should be
built both on account of its proximity
its splendid transportation facilities
and tho topography of the country
The men who will build the road
therefore propose to build It from
Cushing but if Cushing should not
want It It will be built from some
other point. In event of such i
thing happening It Is easy to deter
mine what effect It would havo up
on Cushing It is therefore not so
much a question of what the road
will do for Cushing and there can
be no doubt of the benefits to Cush-

struction of this road—as It Is the
