Every time the Caldwell Tribune

destroying the fruit pests without
their consent" thus gently prod
ding us on our Philippine ideas.
While the Tribune is SO anxious
ly watching for a chance TO pick us
up, we would like to have its
answers to the following:
What did the United States get
for the $50, 900, 900 it paid Spain
for the Philippines?
Suppose, during the American
war for independence, England had
sold the colonies to France. Would
the Tribune, if it had been on
earth then as now, advised the pat
riots to lay down their arms and
accept their new master without
further question?
Would it have called them "reb-
els" and "insurrectionists" if they
had refused to stop short of win
ming theK, liberty, even though
they had TO wage war with the new
owner2
And further would the Tribune
have called Lafayette, and humid
reds of other Frenchmen, cooper.
heads" if they had advised their
country to give their newly pur.
chased(?) colonies their indepen-
dence?
But the Tribune may answer
that the government we propose
to give the Philippines is the best
on earth, and all Americans think
so. But when the American col
onies were fighting for liberty,
would the Tribune have said then.
accept the French system because
our new owners say it is the best
for us?
In otha words, shall we deny to
Others the rights we have always
fought and stood for, for ourselves?

HEART FAILURE
Verdict of CorOner's Jury In
Snyder's Case.

The coroner's jury this morning
brought in a verdict that Cary Snyder,
Of Dover. came to his death from heart
failure
The rumor was started that Snyder
was in financial difficulties and that he
had committed suicide to avoid trouble.
DIR. f. H. Martin and DR.. Fred Gordon
held an autopsy at 4 o'clock Friday
afternoon. There was no trace of poi
son, but the dead mans heart was
found TO be small and weak. In giving
his testimony before the jury, DR.. Mar
tin said that death was due to heart
failure.
When Snyder was found the left side
of his face was lying in a paste pot in
the corner of the room, but his mouth
and nostrils were not covered by the
paste and he could not have died by
smothering. There was a slight con-
fusion on the neck about two inches
long caused by the edge of the paste
bucket, but it was not sufficient to
cause strangulation. DR.. Martin testi-
fed that he believed death had been
caused BY heart failure before he fell
into the corner with his face in the
bucket.
The evidence showed that Snyder had
been drinking heavily for some time.
Otis HUngate, his attorney, testified
that Snyder was clear mentally and
did not act as if he had taken a drug
but that he was intoxicated. Snyder
left his home at Dover Thursday in a
buggy without a coat or vest and drove
TO his pasture. From there he drove
to Topeka and stayed at the CONNER
cial hotel Thursday night. He had
been called to Topeka by William Sims
president of the First National bank
and was told by Sims that he must
settle a mortgage for 81, 300 at once
He had sold cattle to settle one mort
gage and could not raise money to pay
the mortgage held by the bank. He
went to his attorney, Otis Hungate,
to consult him about his difficulty. He
said he had been drinking too much to
attend to it himself, and said he would
wait in Hungate's Office until he re-
turned. When Hungate returned Sny-
der had left the office and was sitting
in front of Klauer's cigar store. Hun
gate took him to the rear of the store
and told him to sleep on a cot When
he was next seen he was dead.
Cary Snyder was postmaster at
Dover and active in Shawnee county
politics. He was engaged in the cattle
business and at one time was consid-
cred wealthy but of late has been in
financial difficulties. His remains were
taken to Dover this afternoon.

Gov. Stanley Looking For Fred
FunstOn's Boom.
Hydra Headed 1t Springs Up
ON All Sides.
RAPPING THE HEADS.
When One Appears the Execu-
tive Goes After 1t.
That Is What His "Speaking
Tour" Really Means.

Some weeks ago Governor Stanley
returned from a visit at some OF the
resorts and fishing grounds of the
north. He announced Immediately af-
ter his arrival home that he was tired
of travelling for pleasure and would
spend the remainder of the summer go
ing over the state making speeches IN
response to the large number of inVl-
tations which he had received
This decision on the part of the gov
ernor was pleasing to the friends who
had invited him to make speeches at
reunions and picnics and he has been
making a generous campaign of this
character. The governor has been out
on missions of speech making several
weeks, in which time he has Travelled
from one end of the state to the other
and has visited towns conspicuous on
the map in a transverse direction. But,
the governor is not making this effort
because he likes to ride at night in
dingy trains better than he likes to
ride in daylight on special cars to hunt
ing and fishing grounds.
Governor Stanley is making all this
effort to build up his political future.
Next year he will ask for a renomina-
tion and he is ambitious that such an
honor should come to him without op-
position. To dispel the hopes of some
men who are secretly opposing him for
a second term the governor is now
campaigning from one end of the state
to the other.
When the governor returned to Kan
Sas and announced that he would stay
at home there was lurking IN various
corners of the state a boom for Fred
Funston for governor. There were a
number of patriotic citizens OF the
state who were shouting Funston
o11iT
should have any office in the gift of
the people when ne returned from the
Philippines.
This agitation had been carried on
with sufficient earnestness to attract
the attention of the politicians and
many of the newspapers were taking
up the cry and whooping things up for
the TWentieth'S s colonel 1t was at TINS
stage of the game that the governor
came home and started out to fix up
his fences.
The first place the boom for Funston
caused trouble was in the Second dis
trict. He was brought forward as a
candidate for congress but ]. D. Bow
ersock and his friends disposed of the
pushing the boom for congress out of
the way and starting Funston in the
race for governor.
To get in closer touch With the peo-
pie of the state Mr. Stanley came home
and is now making as much of cam
paign as he did the few weeks before
election He is travelling night and day
making speeches afternoon and even
ings-and building up the cause which
he nts-RepubI1can1sm and re-
nomination.
Governor Stanley is ambitious to
serve the state two terms His great
est ambition, next to that, is to secure
a denomination without opposition To
be named by reclamation is the hope
he has and to build a foundation for
this contingency is the motive which
causes all of these speeches.

TRUSTS IN DANGER.
Believed That They Can Not
Withstand Onslaught of
Kansas Delegation.

The Kansas delegation to the anti
trust meeting to be held by the Chi
cago Civic federation next week has
several ''anti-trust stars in it's mem
bership.
Attorney General GODDARD is a dele
gate. He says he really don't see what
harm the trusts do and he fears that a
prosecution OF the trusts would destroy
competition.
Senator John E. Hessin of Manhattan
has been for years the general attor-
ney for the American Book company
in Kansas, one of the big trusts and
railroad lawyer.
J. K. Cubbison of Kansas City, is
representative of the plain people''who
dabbles in corporation law.
c. Z. Elliott, of Winfield, is a lawyer
who does business with corporations.
The other members of the delegation
are William A. White, George H. Buck
man, Winfield, Congressman w. ].
Bailey and Governor Stanley.
The fact that Governor Stanley has
Pullman and railroad passes does not,
in his opinion, prevent him from going
to Chicago and making an antitrust
speech which he is now preparing.
