a WORD OF BUSINESS TO TIE BUsI-
NESS MEN OF WICHITA.

No Republican, no man in this city
can be found to question the character
or ability of Edwin White Moore. Most
certainly the EAGLE has no such de-
sire. But the EAGLE is for Wichita tlrst,
last and all the time, and We cannot re-
frain from again calling the attention OF
tbe business interests of this city to the
status and character which the present
campaign has unquestionably assumed.
The fight is between the Republican
oartv and the Alliance. 1t would seem
unnecessary to point out to a wide
awake community what an Alliance
triumph with an Alliance judge on the
iudicial bench Of this district, would
mean. The fact would be noted in every
business center Of this country by every
wholesaler and by every banker, from
Maine to California, and the credit of the
CITY. of its individuals, would suffer ac-
cordingly. So long as the contest SEEM
ed an ordinary fight between the two
old parties it could not effect the busi-
ness of any cluss, and the average busl-
ness man showed only the ordinary in
terest, which was all proper enough.
But there is plenty Of evidence going to
show and there is no longer any doubt
that the Alliance as an organization, an
organization whose voters are helded as
sheep with a crook,-are bending every
effort and consenting to all kinds of
trades under the halucination thai an
Alliance Judge would have the power to
stave off or in some way wipe out honest
debts. While we do not believe such a
thing possible in more than a linn
tied way, the name, the fact
that an Alliance judge had been saddled
on to Wichita for four years would
prove very annoying one to every bus
mess interest and disastrous to all credits.
The contest in this county today, there
fore, rises above personal preferences
and above the claims of any individual
candidate. However candidates and
their jealous friends may strive to have
it appear the fact is the struggle is an
oath-bound secret class organizations ef-
fort to beat the Republican nominees for
Judge and sheriff. While we are sorry
is is so we cannot shut our eyes to the
gravity of the possible result.
1t is not the place or the
provence of a Republican paper
of the character of the EAGLE to try to
proselyte, but to hold, strengthen and en-
courage members of its own party, yet
IN the face of so grave a danger, q
danger that rallies behind closed doors
and swears its followers to fealty, we dc
not hesitate to call the attention of the
wide-awake and the observent OF all
parties, to a matter which concerns all
without regard to their party affiliations
or orpersonal predictions and preferences.
And there is no longer any question il
the Republican ticket is defeated today
that that unknown and uncertain polit-
ical quantity the Alliance will be the
victors.

The new mortgage tax law which has

vides for the taxation of mortgages at
their face value, no matter where they
are owned. the owner of the property to
have his assessment reduced by the
amount of the mortgage. 1t is provided
that the taxes on a mortgage may be
paid by the owner of the property, and
the amount so paid may be applied by
him on the interest due to the holder Of
the mortgage. The effect Of the law
will be to relieve the property now under

holders Of the mortgages. But this will
only be temporary as soon as existing
agreements expire, and new ones are

The greatest good to the greatest num-

doctrine. In view Of the fact, therefore,
that the contest today is between the
Republican party and the Alliance, and
in the light of the declared intentions Of
the latter IN regard TO business interests
that effect the entire community, 1t be-
hooves all good citizens to vote the Re

a BOOMERANG

A prominent business man of Cheney
writes the EAGLE yesterday morning
that the Colwich Alliance lie, which was
thirteen days in coming thirteen miles,
proved perfect boomerang at Cheney
among the Democrats who first saw it
in the Beacon. Every Democrat was SO
disgusted that the writer says Morton

Reed and Barrett, nobody being SO blind
as not to see that it was contemplate,

truth it would not have been held for
thirteen days and then published on the

The question today is not whether a
Republican or a Democrat shall be
