THE POLITICAL POT
By F. J. Kupfer.
Tho actora arc now beginning
to rehearse their parts on the
political stage. They are prompt
ed by their managers and
coached to play the part to which
he or she is assigned to meet
the annrobation of the populace.
Ambition in the human breast
iaone of the frailities of nature.
To bo admired and praised for
deeds to better the fellow man
lurks in the minds of every one
who prides himself of his own
importance to lead and show the
way for weal or woo. And such
being tho case in this free and
grand republic the constitution
provides that we arc all equal
and to tho manner born; that
we have the right of free speech,
free proas anu free thoughts.
These guarantees tiuugn are
used only at the discretion of
thoso who are or may be in the
possession of an official capacity
which tho public grants them nt
stated poriods Wo speak of
constitutional rights, and then
wo are conBtnntly being romin
dud by the politicians that wo
must fight for freo speech and
a free press. Wc have not
fathomed this particular doctrine
vfhy tiiis is necessary when tho
declaration of independence tolls
us that wo arc a free and inde
pendent people. Hut then as I
have started this article with
the forthcoming national play
to no enacted ly a now and un
tried set of actors in which
they will stagn that culobratod
American play entitled " Re
form, Efficiency, Economy and
tho Duties of an American
Citizon," wo will expuctto huar
from each and ovory actor a
complete mid versatile erudition
of his policies, bin views, his
methods, and ho possibly may
forgot himself to depict uncon
sciously tho intricacies of what
is required in the makeup of a
roul and genuine exponent of the
principles of American citizen
ship. ; Tho public, in the near
future, should prepare itself to
sou the political show in all its
pristine glory. In a verv fow
weeks the Drama will have it
quota and each participant will
havo thoroughly mastered his
plea for man's and woman's suf
frago. Of course wo all want to
be there and thotimuscL and nil-

vertised is May tho 21st of this
coming year.
The star performers in this
great American drama are quite
a few in numbers. In fact we
are told that 5 presidental cand
idates will be listed on the pro
gramme, bach and every one
are prize winners in their re
spective occupations which they
are in at the present time.
Those who aro next in rank and
will not have, according to tho
Otiiia board prophcies antagon

Shoes
The Automobile has killed the
Kaster Dounct business; who wants
to hit lite top of an Auto with a
new Kustcr Donnet. It is not ko
with footwear. The shoes, and
stockings are the millinery of today.
Nifty Pumps, with Louise and Da
by Louise Heels; some with buckle,
some just plain but all arc stylish;
just price them nt our store and do
likewise over town. You will be
back ngain to buy here. We know
because it has been done.
Color Creations
The Spring fabrics rivnl nature in color
ing; not the colors that fight and glare and
blaze, but those that arc modest and harmoni
ous. These colors arc printed into Voiles,
Organdies and Klaxons; into Pongee and
Georgette and printed into Kotilards.
If your Kaster frock is not becoming it
will not be for lack of the loom; and our ex
perienced salespeople will aid you in selecting
materials that will become you. And our
prices will all staud comparison with the city
stores.
Men's and Boy's Suits
The new suit season is on;
the prices are higher than ever
and we do not coax you to buy,
but -if you need a suit for your
self or your boy you will find
our lines entirely dependable
in fit, style and workmanship.
You may buy from us on
the installment plan.
Headlight Overalls
Men's Ties
A few men decide they nrc
wearing something when they pay
$1.50 or $5 00 for n neck lie; and
thnt has been done, but you can tukc
it from us; the tic really worth $1,50
is not made. It's n graft. The
assortment we have to sell at .$2 50
ii simply wonderful and you may
be asMired the tjuality is not camo
uflaged in the price.
The new Kaster5 stock has just
nrrived and your fancy may be
pleased in price and pattern: l'rom
75c to $2.50.
Men's Shirts
Men dress for Kaster ns well as
the Indies. And a man is not dress
ed without n shirt. Our stock is
large, the assortment varied nud the
prices within reason. Wc have
Silk nud cotton, nil cotton nud nil
silk; nud nil of them in various patterns.
Men's Shoes
Ourshocsnrc literally walking
nway; our values are true. We
simply scrap for vnlues in footwear
nnd we know we nrc getting results
because our trade keeps coming back
mid they must keep advertising for
us or some ono else would have had
our business a long time ago. The
Crossett and Uegal Shoes nrc msde
just ns good as shoes can be made.
When the linings are high grade,
the sole stock the best obtainable
