WE wonder if the people of Barber
county have forgotten how the republi-
can machine have twisted the law
around and reversed themselves during
the past two years in order to freeze
onto the offices. When they had a re-
publican majority on the board of
commissioners they appointed a repub-
lican to take the county superintend-
ent's Office to fill what they called va
cancy, but when a fusion board the
following year appointed men to fill
the other Offices the gang succeeded in
holding oyer. The instances were iden.
ticalyet in one case they held that the
old officers held over and in the other,
that a vacancy existed and a new man
had to be appointed. Are you going to
endorse such high-handed partisan in
justice with your vote this fall?

WHERE DOES He STAND.

Tho people of Barber county have
been waiting ever since the republican
county convention for an expression
from E. II. Nixon on the county print
er law and he ought to take a position.
His organs, the Medicine Lodge Ores.
set and KiOwa Journal. are defending
the law after all that has happened and
they leave the impression that Mr.. Nix
on and the other republican candidates
favor the retention of the law. Mr..
Walker, the Independent candidate for
representative, and all the Independent
candidates, favor the unconditional
repeal OF the law. This position IS
plain and uneauivocal. Is it asking
too much of the republican candidates
request them to take position?
This is Question of Importance to ev-
cry citizen in B ,rber county. No can
didate should be afraid to express him.

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also a Few Facts on the Same
Subject.

We hear much nowadays about health
fItnS and hygienic living, about vegeta-
rianism and many other fads along the
same line.
Restaurants may be found in the large
cities where no meat, pastry or coffee is
served and the food crank Is in his glory
and arguments and theories galore ad.
vanced to prove that meat was never in
tended for human stomachs, and almost
make us believe that our sturdy ancestors
who lived four score years in robust
health on roast beef, pork and mutton
must have been grossly ignorant of the
laws Of health.
Our forefathers had other things to dc
than formulate theories about the food
they ate. A warm welcome was extended
to any kind from bacon to acorns.
A healthy appetite and common sense
are excellent guides to follow In matters
of diet, nd mixed diet Of grains, fruits
and meats is undoubtedly the best.
AS compared with grains and vegeta-
bles, meat furnishes the most nutriment
in highly concentrated form and is di-
&c sted and assimilatad more quickly than
vegetables and grains.
