AIR CASTLES BUILT o PEOPLES BLAST
Ed HOPES.

We are told that President Mckinley
hopes soon to get the arbitration treaty
before the Senate again in a somewhat
different shape. Does he think people
who were promised the bread of prosper
ity will be content with the stones of an
nexation schemes and arbitration de-
bates? A little more looking after home
folks and much less jingoism is what
the people. want. They see what all
these foreign matters are brought to the
front for now, and they resent betraying
their good to elect Doodle Hanna to the
Senate. 1t is very easy for the Presi-
dent, surrounded by every luxury, to
forget the pinch of poverty and waste his
time over air castles, but the men who
voted for him under a promise of good
work and steady wages cannot have any
more patience with such conduct than pa
triotic Romans had with Nero because
he fiddled while Rome was burning.
McKinley's air castles are being erect
ed ON the peoples blasted hopes.

AN UNFIT TREASURER.

According to the New York Evening
Post. Mr.. Ellis III. Roberts who has been
appointed Treasurer of the United
States. is the same sort of defaulter
that North Carolina Republicans love
to honor. 1t says that when Harrison
appointed Roberts assistant treasurer he
almost Immediately began to solicit
loans of money from the leading banks,
Offering a kind of security which they
would never have looked upon a second
time if he had not held the office which
he did hold. These borrowings were
frequent and amounted to about $4,000
in the aggregate. The loans were not
paid. They were compromised after
Roberts retirement from office at 20
cents or some other fraction of dollar"
The Post concludes its recital with
the comment: "These facts were known
to President Mckinley" If the Post is
right, Mr.. McKinley's weakness and
subserviency to Hannaites and trusts
are not the only things that show his.
unfitness for the high office which Han
ma bought for him last November.

LOW PRICES IN THE WEST.

Writing from Des Moines, Iowa, Il
the Atlanta Journal, Sam Jones says:
Agricultural products of all kinds
are marvelously cheap. Some of the
farmers have thousands of bushels of
corn, which they have held cribbed
for two years, and the market to-day
is about 13 to Is cents per bushel.
Their oat graineries are full and are
selling at about 10 cents. Their
meadows yield the finest Timothy
hay. 1t stands in the field almost
as high as mans head, 2 to 2112 tons
per acre, and retails ON the streets OF
Des Moines at 25 cents a hundred"
Sam is a gold-bug. He will learn il he
keeps his eyes open in the West that the
farmers are getting tired of a policy
that beats down the price of all they
have to sell.

PARTISAN LITTLENESS.

The Republicans in Iowa and in Wis
consin have passed laws prohibiting the
printing of candidates name more than
once on the official ballot. In these two
States there was joint action between
the Democrats and Populists which
frightened the Republicans out Of their
boots last year. They are undertaking
to provide against such danger in the
future. The manifest purpose of these
acts is so unfair that it viii recoil on its
authors. There ought to be no dicta ton
upon parties or individuals. All three
parties have the right to nominate the
same man if they desire, and no legisla-
ture ought to try to throw obstacles In
h.
the way.

.ature, met and elected Mr.. John II.
Small chairman and Mr.. w. J. Crump-

Of GoldsborO, was unanimously elected
superintendent of the schools. The board
has made a wise choice. Mr.. Howell is
Il graduate of our State University, and
the youngest superintendent in the State,

come very popular with our people. The

The August school elections with their
known purpose stimulate men and wo-
men who love their kind and their coun-
try. After all, the State is only what the
citizen makes it and the citizen is the
development only of the child-that is
the sum Of the coming-the lingering
generation and the passing Of men. So
that in the enlightenment and right
living of the child lie the root of the
State. The result of these reflections is
that the sooner every child is put at
school, the sooner viii the State grow
up to its possibilities. And, moreover,
Il cannot be put off, because if we wait,
the child Of to-day will have grown into
. man without school.

John d. Rockefeller was, 1t seems, on
che point of giving Brown University
81 600, 600 when he desisted on account
of the alleged silver views of the college
president, E. Benjamin Andrews. The
Senate, the pulpit, the colleges, they are
all feeling the caress that would later
stifle honest opinion. The truth is, no
doubt, college presidents of the country
are getting to be hustlers, whose chief aim
seems to be to jostle money out of some
body instead of to leave the student fully
convinced Of the perfect disinterested-
ness Of the teaching of the institution.
A college president, under the .domina-
tion of trust, is, if anything, more dan
gerous than the trust. The man himself
Is dead, and he sows the seeds Of death.

Il. X. Jamison, deputy Santa Fe tax
collector, came in from Topeka on Sat
urday to meet the Board of County
Commissioners In special session. Mr..
Jamison thinks he has discovered a
plan by which he can save Barber coun-
ty about 5000 if he can make a deal
with the commissioners. He claims
that there is no law authorizing or
compelling state delinquent tax levy:
a county is compelled to make a GER
tain levy for state taxes each year and
If the tax collected under that levy is
excessive, the state gains; If deficient,
the state loses. He is very confident
that levies for delinquent taxes are not
compulsory. Barber county has LEVIED
over $1,000 state delinquent taxes in re-
cent years and Mr.. Jamison proposes
to even up by scaling down future lev
les. He says the county can not get
the money back from the state in cash,
but future levieS can be reduced from
year to year until the 5000, or
whatever the amount may be ARE taken
up. He offers to carry this matter
through for ten per cent of the amount
he saves to the county. If he does not
succeed no compensation will be due
him. He says he is dealing with other
counties on the same basis. The Board
took the matter under adyisement on
til the October meeting when the prop
osition will either be accepted or re.
jected.

On Sunday Marshal Updegratf arrest
ed Ed Williams and William Rich on
the charge of engaging in "crap
game in violation to city ordinance of
Medicine Lodge, and Williams and
Rich agreed to appear in police court on
Monday under their own recognizance.
The trials consumed most of the dav
and were quite interesting. The city
was represented by City Attorney Nc
Cague and the defendants by G.. M.
Martin and Fred R. Ellis. By far the
greater portion of the day was con.
sumed as to whether or not the defend
ants were entitled to jury trial in the
police court, and the way "14th Kan
sas'' was imposed upon was aImos t
heart rending. Judge Potes listened
attentively to the arguments of the
BlackstOnes and after the gentlemen
had exhausted all the available eiocu-
tionary and oratorical power, he stated
that he did not see his way clear In es-
tablishing precedent for future police
judges to follow, and that Inasmuch
as no case was on record wherein the
accused was allowed jury in the police
court the motion would be overruled.
This done, the eases proceeded and
each defendant was tried separately.
Ed Williams was first tried. Two wit
nesses were introduced in behalf of the
city. The defense made no fight, and
Mr.. Williams was found guilty and
fined SIS and costs. Rich, coIored, was
next called and the same evidence in
behalf of the cltywas introduced. Rich
made some considerable defense.
though it seems his attorneys deserted
him. But the defendants efforts were
valiant and had some weight with the
court. and Judge Potes took the matter
under advisement until the following
morning at 10 O'Clock. The preponder-
ance OF evidence, however, was against
the defendant, and Mr.. Rich was given
the same penalty as Williams. They
were given 10 days in which to raise
the money to pay their fines.

ANTHONY WINS.
Hedicine Lodge Goes Down Before the An.
thony Team, an Easy Prey.

On ths Medicine Lodge grounds, last
Thursday and Friday. our team went
down before the visitors in q manner
which indicated that the teams were
not evenly matched. and throughout
the entire series it was evident that the
home team was out-classed at every
point in the games.
Anthony brought the best team of
ball PLAYERS that has ever visited this
city. and more than that, they were a
gentlemaniy lot of fellows too, and to
say that they left good impression on
those who witnessed the games would
be only justice to the boys from Harp
er's county seat. Their playing was
neat, easy and confident, and the exc
cution of their many brilliant PLAYS
was we'll worth the witnessing.
While their pitchers were hit hard
and often yet the support given by the
home team was such that the home
team, In its present condition, could
not win the series, and only by a piece
of good luck was the second game cap
tured by Medicine Lodge.
The score of the first game-Anthony
1S, Medicine Lodge 1O-does not tell
how badly our team was de.
feated. While the score is reasona.
bly, close yet the game was never in
doubt and it was very apparent tina,
the visitors were playing all around the
home team from the very start. A
lucky run of four scores in the last
half of the ninth inning helped the
looks of the score considerably.
In the second game the home team
won by the very close score of 1912
In this game the lead was taken i'm the
start by Medicine Lodge and maintain,
ed until the seventh Inning when Chea
tum for Anthony secured a home run
with the bases full, thus giving the
visitors slight lead which they MAIN
tanned UP to the last half of the ninth
when the home team rallied and by a
lucky punching of hits pulled the game
out.
Inc third game was too one sided to
be interesting, the visitors winning by
the score 1873. Cheatum, in the box
for Anthony, did not attempt to hold
the home team down, but depended en-
tirely upon his support which won the
game with ease.
1t is self evident fact that our team.
like all others, cannot hope to win so
long as they stay away from practice.
1t is not matter of surprise that they
are defeated when strong team, con.
tinually in working condition, meets
them on the diamond and administers
such defeat as the last one of this Sc
ries.
1t Is hoped that before any other
games are arranged to take place on
the home diamond our team will be in
a much better condition and be able to
give the spectators better exhibition
of the national game.
