WHY DO THEY SKIP2

Within the past few weeks three
prominent republicans in this county
have aysteriously disappeared. First,
S. B. Deupree, an EllinwOod banker
and last year prominent candidate
for the republican nomination as coun-
ty treasurer, starts off with friend,
gets separated from that friend at some
little station and disappears from the
midst of his associates. He is heard
of at Kansas City; various rumors are
circulated about him; an investigation
10y the stockholders in the bank with
which he was connected results i'll a
published statement showing his affairs
at the bank all straight. Still he does
not turn UP.
Hardly have the minds of the public
become reconciled to this disappear
ance, until MI. Ewalt, a prominent at
torney of Great Bend, and chairman of
the republican county central commit
tee; man who apparently had no
enemy and whose financial entangle-
mentS it is understood were but trifiing,
disappears and is known no more to
his friends; he goes to the little town
of Ellinwood, so lately deserted by the
man Deupree-and no more is known
of him, by the public.
In a few short days skipper No. 5,
Mr.. Oscar Oblennls, takes up his edito-
rial pass and departs for pastures new
and fields more green. 1t pains us to
know that Il newspaper man should act
so unpretty, even though that man be
the editor of a republican paper. The
passing of Oscar does not appear to
create so great stir as the departure
of Stephen; probably because of the
fact that much better newspaper men
than was Oscar could be picked from
the plum thickets, but successful bank
ers are more hard to capture.
We do not desire to be uncharitable
nor to kick a party because it is down,
but we cannot refrain from yenturing
the suggestion that if the three de-
parted ones had been good democrats

pointed over the political outlook, and
would have been brave enough te stay
around at least until the battle actu-
ally opened.
The balance of our republican lead
ers should either repent the error of
their ways or come over to the right
side before a general stampede occurs
and Barton county democrats have no
one left to contend with but the union
labor enthusiasts and prohibs. Can
didly, we do not desire such walk
away as the outlook at present indi-
Gates. Heretofore there have been
enough republicans to make cam
paign interesting for democrats, and

DISGUISE the fact as they Will the
republican cry of free trade cannot
stem the tide that is daily growing
stronger. Men who have affiliated with
the republicans in years past and ac-
cepted the mere statement that any re-
reduction of any of our import duties
must inevitably result in the downfall
of the industries. have been set 10
thinking and after investigating the
matter from the two standpoints the
result is rapidly bringing them to the
conclusion that the recommendations
in the Mills bill are just and equitable.
In the west, where the farmer has
yielded to the continued imposition of
war taxes, the sentiment for revision
is very strong and many thousands OF
voters will be attracted to the demo-
cratic nominee, whose policy is one
that appeals directly to the household
as against free rum and tObacco.-Han-

WHEN the cry against ''having to
compete with pauper labor of Europe"
is raised by the republican high pro-
tectionists, have them explain, if they
can, what kind of protection it is that
has permitted foreign laborers to come
into America and take the places of
our protectedl?) laborers in the extern
sive coal mines, manufactures, etc, in
the east? How can they get over the
fact that while most all things the Ia
borer uses for himself and family pays
a high protective tariff, his labor, the
only thing he has to depend on, can be
stolen away by foreigners?

THE newspapers of Great Bend have
always stood by the town and county;
through fair weather and foul, through
good years and bad; still, now
that short crops have brought about
a slight depression in busines
circles the first thing some men
will do to cut down expenses is to stop
their town paper or cut down their ad-
vertising. AS a consequence the men
who have worked the hardest for the
upbuilding of the town and county are
the first to suffer for business depres-
sion let it come from where it may.

This is the time of the year when the

printer who is lucky enough to have the
publishing of the same has his bread
buttered on both sides and jelly on top.

THAT sounds nice, brother, and may
create slight feeling of envy on the
part of papers which are not county
seat papers, But when the printing
is let at only half rates, as at present in
this county, the butter and jelly' is
spread mighty thin, and it causes quite
gulp TO get the whole business down.
