Negros Is an island in the Philippines, about one
hundred and fifty miles long. and having an aver
age width of twenty-five miles. 1t lies between
Panay and Cebu and Just north OF Mindanao. II
is about three hundred and eighty miles south OF
Manila.
The island is divided into two provinces, one
known "a Western Negros having an area Of lsz9
square miles and a population of 226.s9o. and the
other called Eastern Negros with a population or
81 7S2 and occupying 81 square miles.
The island is mountainous and wild and its coasts
difficult of high mountain chain
crosses it from north to south The land Is un-
even but fertile The natives irrigate the soil ana
produce tobacco, coffee. sugar cane and wheat.
OF the island Professor Dean G. Worcester wrote
in his work on Tho Philippine Isands': ''Negros
is probably tho richest island Of Its size in the
archipelago. and its fertile lOwlands along the
coast arc extensively cultivated. although much
good and still lies idle Fine tobacco is grown IN

Nothing in recent times is more brutal
and uncalled for than the treatment of
the miners of the Occur d'Alene mine
in Idaho. 1t is but a beginning of what
will grow larger and worse as the mill
tary spirit develops. The following
from Verdict tells it correctly.
Listen to the history of this McKin-
ley-ordered crime. The miners were
getting $3.50 per day as wage. The
Standard Oilers bought the mines, as
they've bought scores Of other enterprises,
and at one slash ''cnt" wages to $3.50 a
day. Then came the strike-that was
months ago. Instantly the governor
the rascality was planned and plotted in
advance-asked for troops. Instantly
Mckinley granted them. The Mining
district was declared under martial law;
the troops (colored marched in and took
possession ike so many sable conquerors.
Several hundred miners were seized and
thrown into stockade. Their offense
was Labor Unionism. They were refus-
ed trial. They were beaten, bayoneted
and shot. Some died, some went insane,
some fell beneath the tooth of disease,
all suffered. Their wives and sisters
were denied access to husbands and
brothers; and were insulted, assaulted
and betimes arrested by the black minions
of Militarism, who has been commission
ed by Mckinley to those lawless ends.
And it still goes blooiily on! except with
the one change, that white troops have
had substitution for the blacks first put
in power"

We have killed more Filipinos in three
months than Spain ever did in one hun
dred years. We have DESTROYED more
homes, wrought more devastation,
brought more war and suffering to those
people during the past few months than
Spain ever did in all her long history of
brutality and wrong. We demand un-
constitutional submission. So did Spain.
1t was greed that caused Spain to pour
out her blood and treasure to conquer
their islands. 1t is the same and moth
ing else that is causing the nation to out
rage all decency and manhood and honor
in this wanton murder of a people who
never did us one particle of harm in their
lives. Butcher, Weyler and few others
became wealthy while Spain became
poor over this attempted conquest. A
few Americans more cunning but not
less brutal than Weyler will amass
enormous fortunes at the expense of the
blood treason Of the whole country.

To any who are fearful lest any one Of
the wings of the reform forces should
waver and weaken in their demands we
would commend the democratic state
platform recently adopted in Msssachu-
sets. 1t is a more radical document
than even the last populist state platform.
Demands public ownership Of public
utilities, initiative and referendum, gov
eminent issue of money, the return Of
power to the hands Of the people md
abolition to trusts. Bryan is certain to
be the nominee and with him will be a
man no less radical. The issue will be
more sharply drawn than in 1896. Whit
ney, Cleveland and other goldbug, trust
magnates will be in name what they
have been in fact for years, republicans,

signed article in the New York Journal
by Bryan speaks in no uncertain tones:

Every decade since the war has shown
a narrowing Of margins Of profit, Of an
increased difficulty and need Of increased
effort to provide for family and home
the common mail, the farmer, the laborer,
and the small dealer. 1t has increased
the number Of those merely drawing a
salary and diminished the number Of
those managing business Of their own.
1t has necessitated the putting forth of
greater effort or the lowering Of the
standard Of living or both. 1t has in
creased the number Of tenants and the
holdings Of large estates, Of tramps and
paupers and miliionaires. 1t has widen.

manufactured product has risen in price

their overthrow. They are content to
talk in general way against trusts and
prevent any interference with them while
they do their hellish work.
1t will be noted also that with one e1-

"Gabe Moore is making a strong race
for commissioner. He will get almost a
solid vote in this end of the county, as
our people have put politics in the back
ground and are going to vote for their
own interests"
The above appeared in the Mulvane
Record of September 10Th. The editor
of the Record is very selfish man and
does not see any good in anything out
side of Mulvane and vicinity. He always
opposes every public improvement and
every effort to advance the interests of
Sumner county. He very seldom gets
on this side of the Arkansas river. He
really and rightfully belongs to Sedg-
wick county. His actions would indicate
that he believed every dollar of the
bridge fund should be used to build
bridges in the vicinity of Mulvane.
Commissioner Gooch has not done as
much bridge building in the vicinity of
Mulvane as Brother Reed thinks he
should have, consequently it is to the
best interest of this end of the county to
give Gabe Moore a solid vote. This
would indicate that if Gabe Moore should
be elected, the bridge fund would be
used to advance the interests of Mulvane
and vicinity. Commissioner Gooch has
been able to consider the best interests
of the whole county and that of his dis
trict also and to treat every locality in all
equitable and Just manner. Since Mr..
Gooch has been commissioner, the fol-
lowing bridges have been built, rebuilt
and repaired at a Cost as follows:
The Oxford bridge partly rebuilt, 81
500. The Wadick bridge in Palestine
township, repaired, $500. The bridge
south of Belle PLANE, repaired, $3.50.
The bridge west of Belle PLANE, rebuilt,
$3.50. The bridge west of Mulvane, re-
built, 81 400. The Mcbride bridge in
Sumner and Springdale townships, 1915 |
The Handy bridge in Eden township
S6I7.
Commissioner Gooch has secured for
his district its full share of the bridge |
fund and the east end of the district has
had its full share. Arrangements have
been made for repairing the Zyba bridge
in London township and the one east Of
Conway Springs at a cost of about 81 900.
The bulk of the bridge fund has always
been expended in the eastern part of the
county and the northwestern part of the
county has always paid its full share of
the bridge tax and we do not think the
populists and democrats of Gore and
Belle PLANE townships are so selfish a,
to begrudge Eden, Springdale and Sum-
ner townships their little bridges, they
being the only bridges built by the coun-
ty in these townships.
Commissioner Gooch has treated the
bridge question in an equitable manner
and no locality has any just ground for
complaint. By his careful and painstak-
ing attention to and economical admins
tration of county affairs, Mr.. Gooch de-
serves reelection.

the large number who attend. From a
business standpoint, viewed in any light,
a show is an evil to any town, taking
fully $40 for every one left. The Texas
law imposing license of $1,000 day on
all shows should be on the statute books
OF every state. Something more elevat-
ing and less expensive would be found
to take their place. The city license
should be $500 instead of $50.
