he will take the subject of withdraw
ing troops from Cuba under advisement

withdrawn.

Danger in Philippines.

b. =
One difficulty that the war depart
ment is compelled to. face is the danger
of reducing the force in the Philip
pines. 1t is explained that the govern
ment has attained foothold such as it
never had before; the insurrection is
under complete control now, and with
in short time the islands will be
completely pacified. On the other
hand, if the military force there is ma
serially reduced it will probably be fol-
lowed by fresh outbreak of the in
surgent and lawless elements in which
case the army will lose much of the
territory which it is now holding.
To meet this difficulty it is probable
that troops will be Immediately with
drawn from Cuba and placed in charge
OF garrisons in the United States, while
regiments now in this country will be
sent to Manila to take the place Of any
regiments ordered to China. Secretary

THE COURT HOUSE PROPOSITION

No one denies that Bates count,
| needs a new court house.
All citizens of the county are equal
~ interested in this public enterprise
1t Is a matter of economy in the
saving Of rents and stopping expen.
sive elections.
This question will be before the
people until it is finally settled right.
The valuable records of the county
are constantly menaced.
When citizen comes to Butler to
transact public business he has to
hunt all over town to find the county
offices.
The county court has submitted
excellent plans prepared by a compe-
Mt architect, with a guarantee
THAT the cost is not to exceed $50
600.
1t will be a stone building. modern
IN all its details, of sufficient dimen-
sions to meet all the requirements of
the county for years TO come.
The court in selecting the plans
called TO its aid the township boards
OF all the townships and an invita-
ton was extended to all citizens of
the county TO participate in the de-
hberations. i number of architects
and the one selected was
the unanimous choice of all present.
This court house has been built at
Narrensburg. Johnson county: Sa-
vannah, Andrew county; and is under
at Mt. Vernon. Lawrence
county, and in every instance came
within the appropriation.
The people OF Warrensburg are
very proud of their court house and
speak in the highest terms OF Mr..
Mcdonald. the architect. The county
court of Johnson county recommend
ed the plans TO the Bates county
court
The voter knows exactly what he
Is getting for his money. Not a cent
more than the $4,000 will be asked
70 complete the building.
The taxes viii not be burdensomp.
will end in three years and the build
ing viii be paid for.
This is the best and fairest propo-
sition that has ever been submitted
70 our people and We believe should
be voted.

Mr.. Jurden publishes Il speech in
the Kansas City journal, which the
Bates County Republican copies. 1t
| is the same speech he has been
making all over the district, but Mr.
.Jurden evidently thinks it too good
for the people in the world, outside
the sixth district, to miss. Ii he can
get anything out of its publica ton.
he is entitled to 1t, for that is all be
will get out of the contest. His prin-
clpal charges against Judge Dear
mond are that he voted to seat Rob-
erts, of Utah. which THE TINES
noticed at length several weeks ago.
and that he voted against the Mica
ragua canal bill introduced in the
last congress- Judge DeArmond
voted against that bin for reasons
that will appeal to every true Amer
lean. That bill provided that the
canal when built should be operated
and controlled by England and the
United States Jointly. Judge De
Almond and the other democrats in
congress took the grounds that the
canal should be built. controlled and
fortified by the United States alone.
Ii all other issues were eliminated
Judge DeArmond could go before the
people Of this district on that issue
alone with every assurance ofhaving
his position upheld.
But, OF course, Jurden does not
state all the truth. as in the
Roberts case. but tries TO make the
people believe that the Judge oppos-
ed the bill because it was a republi-
can measure.

THE NAMES WERE OMITTED.

| Charley Morrison was the referen-
dunn nominee of the Progressive
Peoples Party" for Probate Judge.
The vote was taken through the col
umns of the Free Press. The editor
prepared the certificate to nominate
his ticket by electors, as provided by
law. He assisted in securing the
names OF the requisite number oil
electors to this certificate. When the
official ballot was made up by
county clerk Broaddus and published
| in The TINES, it was discovered that
the names of Charley Morrison, for
probate Judge and DR.. Wilson, for
coroner. were omitted. Anexamina-
ton Of the certificate OF nomination
filed by Mr.. Atkeson showed their
names had been omitted therefrOm.
Mr. Atkes0n claimed to be greatly
chagrined at what he termed was an
oversight. Mr. Morrison was appar-
emily Justly indignant. On Monday
morning Mr. AtkesOn submitted an
affidavit to Judge Graves. setting
forth that the omission was an over

Morrison and DR.. Wilson be ordered
placed upon the ballot. Judge Graves
overruled the motion. as he could
find no law where a nomination could
be made by affidavit. Judge Graves
opinion is quite lengthy. covering
every point of the law and is on file
in the County Clerk office.
Mr. Atkeson may have forgotten |
to enter their names in the certificate |
Of nomination. We are not going |
to charge that he did not. But he
IS lawyer, has been in politics for a
Ong time and has had much expert |
ence III preparing certificates Of this
nature. He has been mixed up in so
many of these little fusion deals which |
'equire some of the candidates on his |
ticket to withdraw on the eve of cleo

people OF Bates county are, and have
. right to be, suspicious of his ac-
ions. The nomination of this ticket
