The political campaign on the
part of the Republicans in Chero-
kee county was disgracefully and
disgustingly managed this year,
and the result should be a lesson
to tricksters. traders and ringsters.
Trades were made in the early part
of the campaign which defeated
every candidate on the ticket and
brought Tom Weaver, one of the
best men on the list, at the tail end.
Hundreds of Republicans refused
to vote and the election went by de-
fault. The Topeka ring succeeded
in losing the state and if the Rcpub-
Leans ever hope to carry the county
they must get rid of the trickstcrs
and carry on the campaign in fair
open way. Politics should be as
honorable as any other business
and the people are very tired of
undetermined wire pulling and
trucking political bosses.

ALLOTMENT OF INDIAN LANDS.

We do not wish to interfere with
the allotment question, as that con-
Germs only the Indians themselves,
but we find that nearly every news
paper published in the five civilized
tribes now favors the allotment and
statehood for the entire Territory.
The Muldrow Register says the In
dams themselves are in favor of the
measure, but are held back by the
monopolists and political "bosses."
1t makes the startling statement
that "there is one white man in the

people. We do not believe the
prices of goods in Baxter Springs
can be duplicated in any town in
this section, and n saving in money
is guaranteed to all who desire to
purchase. All we ask is trial of
our merchants in their various lines
and buyers can then satisfy them
selves as to whether Baxter Springs
is the best trading point or not.

Nation who has married an Indian
woman and monopolizes more land
than is occupied by all the full
blood Indians in this Nation and
intruders combined
We believe allotment and citizen
ship would better the condition of
nine-tenths OF the people i'll the Ter
ritory and if the political bosses
stand in the way they should be
brushed aside. We supposed boss
ism was the exclusive privilege of
the whites and Populists, but if the
Indians have il and have it as bad
as the above they should be entitled
to the benefit of all other civilizing
influences including county Offices,
Sunday schools and Democratic
caucuSes.
But we were going to say, what a
grand thing it would be for Baxter
to have the entire Indian Territory
allotted in severalty and the surplus
lands sold to actual settlers. This
city is the natural distributing
point for the Northeastern portion
of the Territory which is in reality
the richest portion either in agri-
culture or mineral. The country is
settling up rapidly as it is. but in
order to induce capital and the best
class of settlers to permanent oc-
cupation there should be allotment
and sale ofsurplus lands.
The citizens of the Territory. as
well as those OF the states, are get
ting tired of the Dalton and Star
gangs and they would like to have
some laws that can be enforced
without calling on the national gov
eminent. Many of the deputy mar
shals in the Territory are worse
than the outlaws themselves, and
criminals who have money or
friends are seldom brought to JUS
tice. Petty crimes and misdcmean-
ors such a. horse racing and raf-
fling for turkeys are made tclonics
and the guilty wretch is made to
suffer, but the COW thieves, murder
ers and train robbers often go free
without Il trial. Swearing is strict
ly prohibited, but bookkeeping goes
on without check.
We are satisfied the Indians favor
good laws and would GLADLY be rid
of the rencgades who infest- the
country. but so long as the lands
are held in common and tribal re-
lations are kept up the better class
of white settlers will stay away.
Men OF means prefer 10 so where
there is more security for life and
property, but when contracts can be
made that will stick, the laws prop
erly enforced, school privileges pro-
vided. and ghost dances abolished,
the very best element OF the states
will seek for permanent homes in
the Indian Territory.

Our people should not forget the
electric railway. No project has
ever been presented that would be
of more value than this. We would
have had the cars running between
Baxter and Joplin this fall had it
not been for the stringency in the
money market, and we may be
called on any day TO do what we can
to aid the company in pushing it
through. 1t will take some work to
secure it, but there is nothing we
can do that will prove more advan-
tageous to the city than the secur-
ing of this road. Let us be pre-
pared.

PEAL. ESTATE.

REAL ESTATE.
Notwithstanding the financial de-
preston existing throughout the
entire country there has been n
marked improvement in Baxter
Springs property and there has not
only been greater number of trans
fers made than in any previous year,
but prices have ruled higher on
every class of property and the out
look for future transactions is much
better than at any time in the his
tory of the city. Hundreds of va
cant lots, a number of residences
and some business property have
been sold and as rule fair prices
were obtained.
More new houses and better
houses have been built during the
past year than any previous year
and there are a good many pro-
jected that will be built as soon as
the financial condition of the coun-
try improves. There has been an
urgent demand for medium sized
dwelling houses all through the
year and many persons who wish to
come here have been obliged to To-
cate elsewhere for want of room. If
we had had the empty houses of
some of the Kansas towns at least
three hundred additional families
would have located here during the
summer.
We look for quite a building
boom in the spring and there is no
better investment for capital than
we'll rented dwellings,. Builders
with small capital would do well
to build such houses as are in de
mand, as they could sell or rent
them to good advantage as fast as
completed. Our own enterprising
capitalists could make good
stroke for themselves and for the
town by putting up a lot of dwell
ings that would rent for from So to
SO per month. If we are to grow
we must provide in some way for
the people who wish to come here
and there are seemingly lots of
them. Residence lots are cheap,
material and labor are both low and
no better time could be selected for
building than now.
There has been much better de-
mand for farms and farming land
than we have had for ten years. The
Cherokee Strip folly has demon
strated the fact that all Eastern
Kansas lands are worth something
and that they will all be wanted
soon at higher prices. There is no
comparison between such a coun-
try as we have, with rich soil, album
dance of fruit, good water, coal,
wood and superior climate. and
the sandy, dry, uncertain plains of
Oklahoma and the Strip.
We look for liberal influx Of
population from the Eastern and
Northern states and where can To-
cation be found equal to ours: We
need more thrifty farmers, more
manufacturers, more capitalists and
business men. We believe the re-
suit of the last election will have IA
telling effect on those of our East
ern friends who have been afraid of
Kansas. We can safely say to them
now, come with your capital or your
manufactures and you will be pro-
tected. No more laws will ever be
passed in this state tending towards
the confiscation or jeopardizing the
rights of property. We have great
market for goods and we need cap
ital to do business with.

usual condition of things existed, AMI IN or

d fiji ulty of securing places in conseq ,e.lce CT
the Civil Service Law and certain rules laid
down in the Departments, but he said if he
can do anything to control the appointment of
the Collector, he will certainly secure it for
the 9TH Congressional District, and further
that his choice would come from Prince
Georges.

This is slight increase over that of last
year. This district has decreased basis by
reason Ct the withdrawal of personality bonds
which have been removed to New York
Bladensburg heads the list and has increased
its taxable basis by over $4,000. This, in a
measure, is owing to tie addition of Takoma
Park, suburban district of Washington. A
notable fact in this newly developed territory
is that more than one half of the building
sites OF Takoma, as evidenced by the assess
