Z" Are you not proud?' asked one of him.
Proud? l must be proud:
must be proud to see
Men not afraid of God
Afraid Of me

''The editor is conceited and proud
oftentimes, but he is almost to be for
given for it. The pulpit is proud, too,
and largely, when it compares itself with
the newspaper in a Il am higher than
thou style. The newspaper is often
fiippant toward fine pulpit, but
the pulpit is ungenerous toward
the press. The newspaper has never mad
even fair platfrom the pulpit. Partly is
this due TO ecclesiastical training and the
tendency. Il, speak i'll ap ex-cathedra tone
from the pt}lpit. A very small man, a lit
tie fellow in everyway ,One who must stand
on single and jump over a corn cob,
meek rs Noses and mild rs milk, takes on
s:very big voice and Orator
fnienQeE when he gets into the pulpit
And, when he reflects that the newspaper
reduces his audience then he naturally
finds fault with it.
''Instead of holding aloof from each
other the pulpit and the press should
walk side by side The only true history
of the world Of to-day is written in the
newspaper. Future historians will CLEAN
all that future history will hold from
them, for the papers are replete with
facts garnered by reporters who have
gone everywhere and gathered them,
taking every means of transit, and rid
ing everything from giraffe to a jack
rabbit to get them.
''Editors are no more mercenary or I'M
scrupulous than any other class of peo-
Pile. There are unworthy people in
every profession. There are hypo-
critics in the ministry, but the ma
jority of men are honest. If every editor
in Chicago was before me and 1 should
say, Tell me, which would you rather,
that your paper makes you So, 900 200 by
any means dishonorable, or when you die
that wherever it is read it shall be known
as an honest, fair, truthful, reputable
journal; which would you choose?' And
I know each would say the last.
81 can not speak against the Sunday
newspaper. Myself, 1 do not read it
now. But ten years ago when 1 was
humble working man, trudging back
ward and forward with my dinner pail
night and morning, it was solace, an
educator, and a keeper from evil for me.
1t was almost the only reading and edu-'
cation 1 had then. 1t kept me from
the card table and the beer
gardens. And I know that the Sum
day paper does far more good than evil.

pie of Kansas are as prosperous as
those Of any other state in the Union.
Kansas has within her limits as many
happy and cOntented homes in proper
ton to population as any other state. Her
wealth Is more equally distributed than
that Of any other state. The sources
of her prosperity are just as secure as
those OF any other state. Her indebted
ness per capita, is smaller than that of
most states in the Union giving demo-
cratic majOrities. In brief, the people
Of Kansas are far more prosperous,
everything considered, than most of
the states Of the Union.
''It is a new thing, IN politics, for the
citizens of a state to endeavOr to de
stroy its credit, to injure its reputation,
to inf1ict damage upon its industries, to
| depreciate the value of its possessions,
and to magnify its Indebtedness, in or
der to accomplish a political purpose.
But ChIs is what the democratic state
central committee has attempted to do.
L denOunce this new departure in pol
ltics as infamous. 1 denounce it as
harmful to all the people of Kansas. I
/ denOunce it as crime against the state.
L denOunce it as the most shameless
and unscrupulOus piece of demagOgue-
/ ~ ever known In this country.

This is the way we guess it will go
down to history:
In 1883 the two great parties were
known as the Republicans and Dem
ocrats. and like that Of the campaign
of 1910. the division was on the tariff
question. The National Republican
Convention was held at Chicago,
June 18th, and Benjamin Harrison
was nominated for President and
Levi P. Morton for Vice President
The Democrats held their convention
at St Louis. June 9Th, and renOmin-
ated Grover Cleveland for President
and nominated Allen G. Thurman
Vice President. The Republicans
we're victorious, and Harrison was IN
augurated March 4th, 1889, just one
hundred years from the time Gen
Washington took his seat under the
new form Of government.

This Is the last issue Of the HERALD
before the election. The newspaper
campaign Is over and we are glad of
it. This has been a memorable con-
test So far as the HERALD IS con
cerned it has battled for the right as
it understood it. We have not inten-
tionally misrepresented any individ-
ual or party. We believe that it will
be better for the country to elect Har-
risoq and Morton than Cleveland and
Thurman. The Republicans are
more progressive than the Democrats
and are better friends of the laboring
classes. We are confident that the
Republicans viii triumph next Tues
day.

The Herald in it's Eleventh Year.

This week the HERALD enters upon
its eleventh year. It IS the Oldest pa
per IN Philipsburg and for about
nine years it had no competitor. It
has had several owners or part own
ers, but when it was only six months
old one of its present proprietors be-
came an employee and subsequently
a part owner. Through all the good
times and bad times that Phillips
county has seen the HERALD has kept
steadily on in its course never missing
an issue. In the early days Of its
career it was not very remunerative
TO its proprietors, for sometimes they
had to borrow money at a very high
rate of interest to keep it going.
But it stood by the county and town
through good and evil report Mr..
Horns, our present business associate,
in the dark and discouraging years Of
the past, borrowed money at q and 3
per cent a month with which to pay
employees and buy material He
worked early and late at the case,
and at swinging the lever Of the old
hand press, that his subscribers might
not miss a single copy Of the HERALD.
Since the paper was first started,
newspapers by the dozen have failed
in western Kansas, but the HERALD
has strengthened with time, and to-
day it has the best bOna-ide circula-
ton and the largest patronage of any
paper in the county, if not in the en-
tire north western part of Kansas.
Its present proprietors take this Oc-
cassion at the commencement Of a
new volume, to return their sincere
thanks to their great army of readers
and patrons for the generous patron
age that has been extended to them
in the past and to say that we hope to
merit the same liberal support in the
future. Oar constant aim is to furn-
ish the public with lively, spicy, re-
liable local newspaper, one that not
only gives the news but a paper that
will be on the moral and intellectual
side of all subjects discussed. Fully
realizing that the press exerts a great
influence for good or for evil, we con-
stantly strive to make the HERALD
a clean moral paper, hence it often
speaks out for temperance, chastity,
morality and against vice, injustice
and degrading teachings and prac-
tees, and refrains even in political
discussions from the vituperative and
mud-slinglng methods. The press
and the pulpit are the great educa-
tors. Editors ought to be as good
men and women as ministers, and
they should be too conscientious to
put into families and into the hands
Of the youth newspapers that demon
alize and degrade. The endeavor OF
the publishers of the HERALD Is to
furnish a good family paper-One
that viii both interest, and instruct
and one that viii benefit and not in
jure. Again thanking our patrons
for the liberal patronage extended
and for the many kind words of en-
dorsement of the HERALD's course the
past year, we begin the new volum,
with courage and high hopes.

A DOCKAGE CONFESSION.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Oct. 10-A decided
sensation has been created in mining cir
Giles here by the effort of the Kingston
Coal company to obtain from it's employees
their signatures to the following paper,
which is styled a ''dockage confession
The undersigned confesses that my car,
which was examined, was not fit to be sent
to the breaker, and | am willing to pay for
the amount that has been locked out
of said car of coal; and, further
more, / promise to be more
careful about loading my coal in
future, if it is agreeable l should return to
my work. 1t is further understood and
agreed that the amount locked from this
car is in no way to be considered as a
guide for any other dockage made previ-
ously or that may be made hereafter.
The men say that signing this agreement
confession" would give the company alb
solute power to take away by means of the
dOckage system, One-half of the mea9er
wages they now receive. and also prevent
them from recovering by law any of the
amount thus locked. They say that per
cent of all the coal now mined by $4,000
miners in this region, is taken away from
the miner by dockage for the benefit Of
corporations. The first five men who re
fused to sign this confession" were dis
charged by the Kingston Coal company,
and if it is insisted upon a strike seems in
evitable. 1t is understood by the men
that If this company is successful in thus
coercing their employees, all other corpora
lions of the Wyoming region will inaugu-
rate a similar movement.

Liberated from their FetterS

BY the helpful. genial action of that most
beneficent of aperients, Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, the bowels soon throw off the
burden that paralyzed and weakened
them, and resume their normal freedom
of action. The action OF the Bitters, unlike
that of average purgatives, involves no
gripping or drenching. If it did it would,
like them, be valueless for ordinary: use
There is nothing ungentle or unnatural
attending its operation. Upon the liver,
no less than the bowels, its action is most
benign, promoting heaithful bilious
secretion, and directing out of the wrong
and into the right channel. Conformity
with costivenesS, other bilious symptoms
disappear when it is Systematically used,
and the stomach is strengthened as well
regulated by it. Malarial complaints,
rheumatism, debility. nervousness and
kidney troubles are completely relieved by
it. Sleep and appetite are invariably pro-
NOTED by it.

McAULlFFE DEFEATS DACEY
And Wins the Light Weight Championship
of America.

DOVER, n. j., Oct 10.-The light weight
championship battle between Jack McAu-
life and Billy Dacey for a purse of $1,000
and the Police Gazette diamond belt, took
place early this morning in a barn not
over 100 miles from New York. After
eleven fierce, desperate rounds were fought,
forty-two minutes, McAuliffe knocked his
man by terrific left handler ON the stom-
ach followed by right handler under the
ear, thus winning the belt. Dacey was
completely overmatched from the start,
but made a fair showing. McAuliffe
gained first blood in the second round by
one of his hard left handler smashers on
Dacey's nose. He did most of the leading
and his repeated rushes were too much
for Dacey to stop. He repeatedly sent his
left at Dacey's face with terrible force, the
latter ducking in vain attempt to get
away. McAuliffe would then upper cut
him numerically. Dacey got in some
savage right-handed swingers on McAu-
liffe's jaw. Not more than fifty select
sporting men witnessed the contest. Nc
Auliffe was in the pink of condition.
Daeey had trained for this fight as he had
meyer trained before trying in this battle
to make one supreme effort to hold the
light weight championship.

CROP RETURNS.
The Corn Will Make Full Ayerage--Kan-
saS Leads OH Wheat.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 10. - The October
crop returns show that the condition of
the present corn crop has been equalled
only three times in ten years, and is ex-
ceeded materially only by that of 1879,
when the condition was 9S and the subse-
quent ascertaned yield twenty-eight bush
els. The present average condition is 90
againss 94.2 in September. There has
been no decline in the northwest and the
status of the great corn surplus states re-
main as on September /. The indications
favor result ranging little from twenty
six bushels per acre, making a full aver
age.
The condition of buckwheat has de-
clined from 93.7 last mouth to e. !, mainly
from frosts. The average condition of the
potato crop is about 81, a decline Of less
than points. Tobacco has fully main
tanned the condition of last month, aver
aging for all kinds SS4. The returns rela-
tive 10 wheat are those Of yield per acre
by counties. As consolidated, the general
average for winter wheat is u bushels for
winter wheat and for spring wheats,
slighely Yer 10 bushels. The former has
yielded better than the early expectation,
the latter much worse. This is, of
course, in measured bushels. The quality
Is much below the average, which
will still further reduce the surplus as
will be shown more exactly hereafter.

SENSATIONAL INDICTMENTS.

CHARLESTON, H., Oct. 10-The lndict-
ments by the grand jury of citizens of
Nation for the lynching of William
Moore on June %, is sensational, as those
under indictment are j. B. Benefel. ex-
mayor; H. NJ. Othed, L. ID. Weaver, John
Byers, William Kincaid. r. Brewer, S. H.

Myers. The social standing of the defen-
dants in the procedure have led to con-
junctures As to the result. Moore was ar
rested for alleged assault upon Mary
Baumgartner who it is claimed was OF
immoral character. AT 10 O'Clock al night
one of the deputies received a telegram
from Nation stating that mob had
formed there for the purpose of lynching
Moore. When the mob of $50 armed mask

iron doors fastened, but after much diff
