country are such that demand the con-

lngton The speaker stated that, in common
with many others, he had long considered
that the services OF Washington and his
character had been greatly overestimated,
out that a few years ago, after a celebra-
tlon pyfthis association. he had decided to
study Tor himself the character OF Wash
lnston. In the pursuit Of that study. Mr.
Gould said, he was surprised to find the
uiahlmity among not only historians OF
our own country. but among those OF the
whole world. in placing Washington at the
head of national characters.
Mr. Gould concluded by saving that the

For Early Closing.

Several OF our merchants have started
movement with a view to closing
their business houses at or 7:3Op. M.
A movement of this kind should be en-
couraged and every merchant in the
city should cheerfully join in it. There
is no reason why Medicine Lodge
should not be up to. date in this re.
spect. If they enforce this rule it will
be money saver as we'll as satisfac-
tlon in other respects. We heard one
OF the business men say few days ago
that he is kept SO busy on account of
the late hours that he doesn't even read
the papers. saying nothing of getting
the rest man needs. 1t would be a
good idea for every business man in
town ice cream and soda parlors except
ed, to enter into an agreement to close
their stores at stipulated hour and
provide penalty for everyone who
violates the agreement. They would
only be consulting their own interests
by doing this and it would be entirely
satisfactory to the public.

A Good Scheme.

The following story Is going the
rounds of the press, and we clip it for
the possible good results which might
accrue to Barber county candidates if
they Will try it:
"A Butler county candidate now
takes a competent plowman in his bug
gy with him in the CANVASS, says the
Douglas Tribune, he halls farmer in
the field, the plowman takes the pIow
or cultivator and the work goes right
on, while the farmer stands in the
shade of the hedge row and listens to
the tale the candidate tells. It works
like charm. Some farmers would
rather be talked to for a whole day in
the shade than plod in the new plowed
field behind the Implements

The Man at the Helm.

Since the nomination of w. j. Bailey
for governor, there has been considera-
bic speculation as to who will control
the official patronage for Barber county
in case of bis election. 1t is conceded
that Congressman Long has a pull
but it is also conceded that Long will
not use it on account of his senatorial
aspirations. A man as ambitious as
Long can not afford to mix in local af.
fairs.
We were somewhat surprised when
we heard few days ago that an APP
pointment was made az Wichita be-
tween the Bailey managers and Oscar
Haberlein, publisher of the Kiowa
News, and that it was arranged that
MIR. Haberlein was to be the admins
tration spokesman so far as this county
is concerned. The republican leaders
are very reticent on this subject and
refuse to deny or affirm and, of course.
1t is hard to make definite guess. But
we know that when it comes to head
work on political problem Editor
Haberlein outshines them all and the
manner in which he is now being rec
ognized by prospective candidates and
the Medicine Lodge machine leads as
to believe that the story is not all air
and poetry. One and two years ago
republican candidates did not think it
necessary to secure his endorsement,
now they seek it before even consult.
ing the ring organ IN this city. They
do not do this because Of any admira-
tion they have for the man but because
of fear. And that is the kind of man
the Bailey machine is looking for.

Sam Stewart Declines.

For several months many Populists
and Democrats of Barber county have
been urging Hon. Samuel Stewart to
make the race for representative on the
Independent ticket this fall, and many
republicans also joined in that request,
but after giving respectful attention to
their appeals MIR. Stewart declines to
permit his name to be used In that con.
nection. He has been a lifelong re.
publican and is one now. His political
convictions are the same today as they
were one, two and theree years ago,
but it is due him to say that he does
not endorse the questionable tactics re.
sorted to by his party here In Barber
county during the past few years. He
believes that political matters should
be conducted OH the same high level
that business should be. He is a firm
advocate of clean politics and treating
every body fairly aid courteously, and
in local and state affairs eliminating
partisansbip so that the greatest good
might result to the greatest number.
If this same spirit of honor and hon.
esty dominated every prominent man
in political life there would be better
feeling and less strife in our political
campaigns. The county would be in a
better condition and all be pulling to.
gether. But Mr.. Stewart is one of the
few republican leaders who occupies
such commendable position. We
know of no other man so high up ia re-
publican councils and citizenship
whose personality has won such extern
siye friendship, not only in his own
party, but in the opposition as well.
1t Is only iterating fact when we say
that he could have had the nomination
at the hands Of the Populist and Demo-
crat conventions had he not refused to
accept 1T, and hundreds of his friends
will regret to learn of his final decision
in the matter. The following IS MI.

1t will be noticed that both sides
claim Jim GanO and jim Dobbs, and in
other instances each side has chosen
from the same family. Surely one of
them is using poor judgment.
It is not settled that the other candl-
dates are going to permit the repre-.
sentative issue to OYershadow all the
others. They say that the other offices
are more important TO the county than
representative and there was some talk
of the others pooling their interests on
another set of delegates and let them
vote as they please. However, 1t is
doubtful if this will be resorted to.
