licans declare he has betrayed his
party-that he is TO longer a Republi-
can. There may be logic in
such criticism but IL will never
hold weight-not even with a drown
ing man. Barnes is no more than hu-
man. Leaving the administration
phase out of the question, Barnes has
done what any other man would have
done under like circumstances. Party
harmony does not figure. The
administration has gained but little
from party harmeny.
We believe Barnes is eve-y bit ss
thoroughly grounded in Republican
principles as Flynn. He probably
voted the Republican ticket before
Flynn knew the alphabet. That he is
intensely partisan and was loyal to
Flynn two years ago, despite Flynn's
repeated onslaughts, is shown by his
efforts to have the free silver tick ct
crushed by the territorial canvassing
board. Barnes has doubtless done as
much for Flynn As any other man in
the territory. Now that he should re-
volt against the continued misrepre-
sentatloD, vituperation and abuse
OF the Flynn people is not unnatural.
We're he to contribute one penny 20
aid Flynn's election again it would
certainly not be natural in the / ght
of all the known facts.
The governors letter possesses
the tone of sincerity: it is
not bonn bastic, nor is it a servile plea
for sympathy. 1t is straightforward
document, which adds another chapter
to the Democratic contention that
Flynn is anything but loyal public
man. The Democracy is not defend
ing the Barnes administration that
phase Of Republicanism has long since
been placed in its proper niche. But
Democracy is glad TO place additional
evidence-in the shape of Barnes let
term the hands of the prosecution,
which cannot fail TO convict Flynn of
practicing dishonorable methods for
six long years on the people he was
sworn to Loyalty represent.

Of the Filipinos as "savages" have
been keenly felt by the representa-
tives Of that people. Sixto Lopez, in
a recent letter, constantly recurred tc
TO that word "savages." "Why do we
aspire TO national life," he asked with
bitter irony. 'Is 1t because we are
maleontents? Is it because we are
"savAges'?' Whenever Sixto Lopez
uses "savages" he quotes it, showing
that he understands its origin in con-
nection with the discussion of the
Philippine question. Roosevelt,
therefore. not only did what he could
TO force a war with Spain (his own
friends say so) but he has embittered
Americas relations with the flower Of
the Filipino people by indiscrimin ate
ly branding them as ''savages."

How about Democratic W arfare, Bro.
Niblack Your missionary spirit
should not be wasted on the Republi-
cans when IL is SO much needed in
your own party. First get rid of the
beam in your own eye. Pawnee
Times Democrat.
There is no war in Democratic ranks.
All is harmony. Democrats are not
holding federal or territorial positions
and therefore cannot be blamed for
the low moral state CT the territory.
Charges and counter charges among
Republicans have caused depreciation
in values and fear among capitalists.
The Democrats experienced a tempo
rary racket and then settled down.
They are now formidably aligned to
sweep away the disgrace brought on
by never ending Republican warfare.

From the Atchison Globe,


1t is a rare man who doesn't do fool

The girls are wearing such high
pompadours that should one of them
die, the undertaken would have to

A great deal of time scent foolishly

ious days to come, when a man can
get wife by dropping "a nickel in the

1t is said that a certain Atchison
woman is such good cook that when
she gives dinner her women guests
pay her the compliment of loosening
their cts when they dress to at

An Atchison merchant recently
spent considerable money changing
his show windows, and now he is mad
because great many people say the
old windows were handsomer. There
is lots of this sort Of thing.

CUBA AND THE UNITED STATES

The people of Cuba are ready to or.
ganize against the proposal of the Re-
publican party TO put them in state
of practical vas ssalage
Congress, by joint resolution, recog-
nized the right Of Cuba to sovereign
and absolute independence.
The constitution of the United
States gives the executive no authori-
ty to set aside the will of congress ex-
cept in specific cases and subject TO
limits by veto. The will of congress
in relation to Cuba is not within the
purview of the executive veto.
In defiance Of congress Mr. McKin-
ley has undertaken to dictate to Cuba
over the head of a military dictator
placed there by himself, what sort of
constitution the people Of Cuba shall
adopt.
The people of the United States en-
terrain toward Cuba the opinion held
by the fathers Of the republic. That
opinion is that the island ought to be
free and independent and that the
United States shall never permit any
monarchial or other alien power to
infringe its inder rendence.
The real object of McKinleyism in
Cuba is to protect the jobs already
planted there for the benefit of favor
ties of the administration
The people of the United States
will defend Cuba against robbery by
Republican jobbers as they aided it to
rid itself of Spanish robbers,

Notwithstanding the normal Re-
publican majority of 450 in the 18th
representative district, the Democrats
this year will elect Democrat In this
district the coming fall. The Demo-
Gratis, embracing all the reform forces,
were never more active and they will
spare no effort TO ses that Guthrie re-
ceives proper and consistent recogni-
tion in the lower house. For several
years the member from this district
in the lower branch of the legislature
has been rec cant to his duty; easy
going and of no force. After dis
graceful row in convention, the Re-
publicans of the 18th district have
nominated another man for represen-
tative, who in the legislature could do
little more than create turmoil. The
people are tired of fossilized politI>
clans in assembly halls and the &C
tion of the Flynn convention in nam
ing bitter partisan, who knows lit
tie of the ways of meE and who has
contributed nothing to the welfare of
the town, will be rebuked by the peo-
pie at the polls.
The Democratic Moses who Will re-
deem this district is the well known,
popular and conservative merchant,
Ike b. Levy. Every body likes Ike
Levy and all are confident
that he bas at heart the best interests
Of his town and county. Levy Is
broad minded, discreet and consistent
in all his acts. Moreover, he is man
of genial temperament, exemplary
traits of character, and one whom to
know is to like. Mr.. Levy is the nom
inee of the Democrats for represent ia
tive in the Seventeenth district. He
will make clean and aggressive cam
paign. Being young and full of vital
ity, he will inject vim and vinegar into
the campaign and intelligently show
up Republican fallacies. Ike is of the
right sort. With a big majority
against him to start with, he will show
up at the end of the race with q big
majority In his favor.

0oVERNoR BARNES, OPEN LETTER

GOPERNOR BARNES OPEN LETTER.
There is really nothing sensational
in connection with the public letter OF
Gov. G. M. Barnes in reference TO Con.
gresham Flynn, save, perhaps. in the
criticism it creates among the Flynn
faction. The governor has merely
placed In written form his verbal ut
terances of the past three months
Now that he has Stated in caustic lat =
guage his sincere opinion of Flynn
and shown wherein Flynn has sought
to gig him, surprise need not follow.
Neither should there be comment over
the governors resolution not to con-
tribute to FIynn's campaign this fall
We ,daresay Flynn has not actively
reckoned on any substantial aid from
the administration. That Flynn has
carried on a relentless warfare against
Gov. Barnes cannot be questioned
Since the memorable May 2,1s96, when
Barnes was the Original Mckinley
man" in Oklahoma and sought to send
Mckinley delegation to st. Louis
against the wishes of Flynn, who dub
bed Mckinley misfit and declared
"Oklahoma wrs for Tom. B. Reed for
president, first, last and all the time, :"
Flynn has fought the governor
He has sandoagged Barnes person
ally and politically in every county in
the territory.
Barnes won out in st. Louis;
he was then national committee
man and was called in consultation
with Hanna. This intensified Flynns
anger.
The gubernStionsl contest came on.
Against giant odds, Barnes fought
his way to victory. He made a mas
terly campaign in his own behalf
Flynn defeated at every point, at once
began his campaign to humiliate
Barnes. Ia NEE sure he has succeed.
ed. Barnes surrounded himself for
the most Part, with weaklings, and
wantonly rewarded erstwhile enc
mics. His administration became
more or less rocky; Flynn saw his op-
portunity and began spreading poison,
which took. At every turn he hound
ed Barnes, Barnes remained silent;
while asking endorsement of questions
able acts he said little against Flynn.
On the other hand Flynn sent his
hirlings TO Ell Reno, Enid and Guthrie
He was after the scalp Of Barnes At
every convention and he got it.
Now the worm has turned. Barnes
has spoken-and in no uncertan
tones.
And because the worm has turned
because Barnes made desperate by
repeated defeat, scorged by Flynns

fights back with the intensity of q

one grain Of the active principle in
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
5000 grains Of meat eggs or other
wholesome food. and this claim has
been proven by actual experiment
which anyone can perform for himself
in the following manner. Cut hard
boiled egg into very small pieces, as it
would be if masticated, place the egg
ana two OF three Of the tablets in a
bottle Or jar containing warm water
heated to 9S degrees (the temperature
of the body) and keep it at this tenn
peratuTe for three and oue-half hours
at the END Of which time the egg will
be as completely digested as it would
have been in the healthy stomach Of
a hungry boy.
The point Of this experiment is that
what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
DO to the egg in the bottle it Will do to
the egg or meat in the stomach and
nothing else will rest and inyigorate
the stomach 50 safely and effectually.
Even a little child can take Stuarts
Tablets with safety and benefit if its
digestion is weak and the thousands of
cures accomplished by their regular
daily use are easily explained when it
is understood that they are composed
of vegetable essences, aseptic pepsin.

mingles with the food and digest it
thoroughly, giving the overworked
stomach a chance to recuperate.
Dieting never cures dyspepsia,
neither do pills and cathartic medi

flame the intestines.
When enough food is eaten and
promptly digested there will be no CON
