The Leavenworth Echo clarifies that notices pushing money making schemes must pay regular advertising rates. Free entries for moral or community welfare endeavors may use space, but all other paid notices require payment. Scraps from the Intellectual Junk Heap presents editor H. Mayar, publisher.
The speaker argues it is unthinkable for a man who would be president to receive a nomination procured by theft. He predicts widespread public accusations against President Taft leading up to November, claiming Taft knows the nomination was stolen and that people across the country share the belief.
The push at Chicago to oust President Taft from the ticket may fail in its aim yet will exert a strong influence. Public opinion remains a powerful force in government as shown by past scandals that toppled leaders. McCurdy refused to resign under pressure, then quit after persistent press scrutiny and later fell ill.
Roosevelt supporters announce a Chicago convention set for August 5 with delegates from forty states and notable Democrats from Colorado Georgia and Louisiana. The move aims to unite five million Republican voters opposed to Taft highlighting honesty in politics and unified voting against Taft. The call cites backing from a Southern writer’s son and Judge Ben Lindsey of Colorado among others.
The writer recalls a mother’s adage about sins of theft, noting changes over fifty years. He contrasts stealing a pin or a potato with more serious thefts like a loaf of bread and, finally, railroad theft through misrepresentation and combination as “business.”
A fragment discusses crime, business immunity, and the sacred role of courts. It cites William Lorimer and President Taft in a critique of theft definitions and suggests McKinley, Root, and Guggenheim could revise the dictionary to reflect changing views.

Oscar Straus, former ambassador to Turkey, backs Colonel Roosevelt in a new third party. He assails the Chicago convention as captured by fraudulent votes and a corrupt majority, claiming the GOP betrayed Lincoln’s traditions and unity. He cites Root’s ruling on 72 delegates and the rise of Barnes and his clique.
The Echo notes a pervasive weed named Jim Hill Mustard spreading across eastern areas. The state legislature bans its growth and seed spread to protect farms, with a stock brought in by H. X. Featherstone to aid identification.
An era of great discoveries brings airborne mail service closer. Uncle Sam’s mail carriers may soon fly everywhere, delivering mail and inspiring public interest. Dr King’s New Discovery for coughs and lung ailments remains the popular remedy with praised cures and a price of 50c to 1.00, trial bottle free at druggists.
Notices for county and precinct offices cost ten and five dollars respectively. All announcements remain posted until after the September primary. After the primary only successful candidates' names stay posted until the November general election.
