Tonk Mills has been a resi-
dent in Barber county for
many years. His interests
are all here. He pays all his
taxes here and shares in our
fortunes and misfortunes. He
is interested in our public af.
fairs and it is profitable to
him to keep down taxes. He
is a safe business man and
has demonstrated the fact
that he is as cautious and
prudent in the transaction of
public business as in his pri-
vate affairs. In all fairness
We can say that the republi-
can candidate for sheriff has
demonstrated to the people
of Barber county that he is
not possessed of these essen
tial qualifications.

We do not believe that AL.
len Smith has an enemy in
Barber county. He is a re.
specter of everybody and a
tool in the hands of nobody.
His motto is to do right and
he can very consistently take
that motto with him when he
sits in commissioners court.
Party lines should be entire
ly forgotten when you cast
your vote for commissioner.
The superior ability of Mr..
Smith ought to make him the
unanimous choice of the vo-
tiers of the First district.

TRUSTS AND GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

This is an age OF political progress
SLOT. The observer of political events
cannot evade realization of the fact
that Capitalization of wealth is
doomed. The people are rapidly
awakening to the fact that they are
getting into sink or swim. live or die,
survive or perish, condition and it will
soon narrow down to question of an
oligarchy controlled by wealth at the
peril of the masses. All political par
ties have been forced to recognize the
supreme Issue. Some are endeav-
oring to cover it with blind promises
and others are preparing to meet the
issue squarely. The Peoples party has
always stood for government ownership
as the only remedy. 1t has adhered to
the text for nearly ten years until men
of all parties have been convinced of
Its feasibility. And Notwithstanding
thefact that there has been much preju-
dice against this principle whore it was
not seriously considered, it has made
vast growth in public favor. And it is
still making rapid progress and will
sooner or later becoms part OF the Or
ganic law Of the land.
In the state Of Iowa, especially, has
there been an awakening, and we here
with reproduce the planks of the Popu
list and democratic parties On the sub
ject. The Populist plank says:
1.-The rapid concentration of private
industries into consolidated orsaniza-
lions, commonly alarming the Ameri-
can people is the result of economic
law aud the development Of the age
and cannot be remedled by restrictive
or penal antitr legislation, or out
lawed in the courts, but such evils can
only be remedied by the ownership of
natural and economic monopolles by the
people in their collective capacity as
nation, state and municipality, in Or
der that there may be equality of all
men in the gifts Of God to the common
life, equality of economic opportuni-
ties and poll teal power, equality in &C
cess to all the natural and social re-
sources needful for the living Of free,
righteous, happy and complete lives.
The democratic plank:
THAT the concentration Of our in
dustries into trusts is condition that
differs from state socialism only in
that under socialism the benefit would
60 to all the people, while under the
trust system the benefits are only shar-
ed by few"
This is the first democratic platform,
to our notice, that has taken this ad-
vanced step and it shows how rapidly
the people are recognizing the logical
remedy TOR great evil.
So it seems that the seeds sown by
Populists In 1890 are bearing fruit.
Those who recognize the practicabilty
of government ownership of monopoly
are no longer limited to the Populist
| ranks; western democrats have taken
up the good work and it will only be a
question of short time when ma
jorlty of the whole people will be bat
thing for it unitedly.
Welcome the day when partisan
idolatry shall be annihilated and the
supremacy Of the people shall rule.

The republicans are max.
ing a good deal of fuss about
Tonk Mills because he has
been sheriff before and they
say he sought the present
nomination. The fact is that
Mr.. Mills did not desire the
nomination but protested
against it. He only accepted
it after nobody else would.
Everybody knows that it is
a sacrifice for Tonk to make
the campaign and perform
the duties of the Office if
elected. The taxpayers have
no better friend than Tonk
Mills.

THE Kiowa News has the following
to say Ill connection with the candidacy
of D. Mills. This is pretty good, COM
ing, as it does, from an opposition par
ty paper. The fairness of the News is
worthy of commentator:
Mr.. Mills has formerly served two
terms as sheriff of this county. There
can be no question raised as to his
qualification and integrity as public
officer. He did his duty without fear
or favor while In ONCE and, in case of
his reelection, there Will be no cause
for alarm on that score. He did not
seek the nomination, but as the unani-
nous choice of the democrats andPopu-
lists he will prove to be a formidable
rival for our candidate, Mr.. Gano.

?. S. The county foots the bill.

THE Kiowa Journal has gotten itself
into bad predicament and is now try
ing to find a hole to crawl out. The
sheet jumped onto Trustee Golf, of XII
owa township, for fixing up the roads
as requested by the citizens and the
editor didn't know any more than to
say that the trustee did not have any
more power than road overseer. Golf
looked after the roads in a district
where there was no road overseer and
the Journal displayed its ignorance by
saying that he had no right to charge
for more than 15 days work. To show
how ridiculous Glenn appears in public,
the Review this week shows that he,
(Glennl allowed bills of the same char
acter, greater IN amount, while he was
member of the township board and q
republican was trustee.

Ii the Creator had intended
that some men should live to
be servants for others He
would have provided them
with different digestive or
gans. He would have made it
possible for them to live with
out eating or at least provided
them with an internal appa-
ratus SO that they could live
on the open range. But since
none of these provisions have
been made we believe that
He intended that all Lien
should have equal opportuni-
ties and we believe, also, that
when one man appropriates
the earnings of another to his
own use without giving some
thing in exchange, he is sim
ming against natures laws.
The product of labor is by
right the property of the pro-
Queer and any law which de-
prives him of it is legalized
theft.

candidates are infallible, but
we do say that they are rep

pledged to economy and hon.

they will reflect nothing but
credit on the county.

In that respect and the republicans
know it. Mr.. Daugherty is also one of
the best men in Barber county and the
people didn't have to import him from
Kansas City and give him an Office to
get him to pay taxes here. Neither is
he an Office seeker. He had no thought
of receiving the nomination and accept
ed 1t reluctantly. He is the kind of a
man the people can trust.

Yesterday. at the Orange Lawn Tennis
Club. wher the Middle States champion
ship tournament was brought to a close.
Larned was outclassed and DEBATED in a
four set match.
The match was started Saturday, but
was stopped In the fifth game of the third
set by the rain. Whitman was in the lead
at thai time and it was thought he would
win without a doubt as Larned was not in
championship form by a great deal and
whitman showed fast clever playing.
This mode Of play he changed yesterday.
He was alternately fast and slow, a style
which puzzled and bothered Larned con-
siderabIy. Whitman short cut stroke had
fnuc hto do with the result. Larned tried
to play close to the net In the opening,
but the champion drove him back to the
base li1e. Whitman's passing was superb
and at no time did he have any trouble.
whitman won the championship last
year bY default from Larned who was a
Rough Rider and could not defend the
title. Thus Whitman has " legs on the
cup and will take possession Of the
trophy with one more win. The sum-

A rafting game of baseball between the
Montauks and the Metropolitans was de-
cided yesterday on the Mud in favor Of
the latter team by a margin of three
runs. Both teams played about the same
in the field and both scored the same
number of hits, but the winners were
fortunate enough to get theirs in lunches
and this won for them. They had the
victory secured in the first two innings.
In this time they had scored five runs,
while the Montauks scored only four in
the entire game. The Metropolitans adj
ded two more runs in the ninth inning,
not that they needed to play the inning
but the teams were such bitter rivals
that the Metropolitans insisted on play
