LOGAN COUNTY DEMOCRATS.

LOGAN COUNTY DEMOCRATS.
Two years ago the Democracy or
Logan county united all along the line
and entered the campaign with vigor.
A telling fight was made. with good
men nominated for the oftices Of trust
and a renewal of extravagance on the
part OF the Republicans to work on.
the Democrats waged the most sue
cessful battle ever known in the coun-
ty. The result OF the. election was
most gratifying. Honest and faithful
Democrats we're placed in the county
offices, and they have served the peo-
pie faithfully. Another campaign
comes. The same Republican gang
is on deck angling for the fishes. II
once more behooves the Democracy of
the county to be alert and watchful
that is. If the people are to enjoy hon
est government Harmony prevails in
Democratic ranks and providing the
proper discretion and wisdom obtain
this year. the Democrats should take
the county out of Republican hands
forevermore.

Rough figures arriving from Rome
begin to disclose the cost of clearing
up the title TO the Philippines. The
figures suggested now are 10000. 900
for the purchase of the title of the
friars Governor Taft now at Rome
is iingling American gold about the
aged pontiff in such quantities as to
produce a distinct sensation in the old
Italian capital
The United States ought to have o
good title TO the Philippines after 4
while. First they were acquired by
conquest at great expense. then pur-
chased from Spain. then taken by
conquest of the Filipinos at endless
expense of blood and treasure and now
they must be bought from the friars
Where will the expense end? The
prospect is now for some more costs
THAT will stagger humanity run
ming as they surely will into the hund.
reds of millions.
All this is great, grand, glorious and
CORY. but the common American is
desiring to know just how am being
benefited. His money foots the bills
but when and how will it ever come
back? The truth is ii never will
come back neither will any advantage
accrue to the American farmer and
workingman to in any measure com
pensate for the expenditure Of their
hard earned money.
The whole scheme Is merely graft
hcatioa Of desire of the imperialist
gang to make foreign conquests for
glory, and what there is in it for them.
It Is the same motive that has made
human blood flow in rivers since the
beginning Of history.
The plea OF Outstanding the
heather Filipinos is merely cloak 70
hide avarice and thirst for glory
When shall we see the end Of this de
plorable business?

The breach between President
Roosevelt and the Cuban anti-tariff

widening Every effort to close the
chasm and restore harmony thus far
has only tended to increase it. The
president is set in his purpose to
grant a reduction to Cuba on certain
of her productions. and there are
twenty.one Republican senators lined
up against anything of the sort, and
so the dance goes on and the music
grows louder and harsher as the bow
crosses the strings.

A LEssoN lN ElNANcE.

The people of Guthrie have had n
practical lesson in finance during the
last three months that has found
iodgment in fertile brains, They
themselves delivered the lecture; they
themselves learned the lesson.
They have learned the financial val
ne Of cooperative effort. What few
men were unable to do the whole com
munity has done and royalty, too.
AT the beginning there were many
doubters. many men who honest 'ii
not know or realize that it pays to
build railroads and who therefor
pulled back. Today there is no man
so dense that he can not see chat he
has made money by taking hold and
getting the railroads. Five months
ago there were very few men who
would have believed it possible 70
raise three large railroad bonuses,
now all know it can be done and that
it pays from five TO ten fold on che
investment
Invested, $4,000.
Gain on property, $500 600.
The continual application of this
wen learned lesson insures for the
Capital City a bright future The
present prosperous growth OF the city
Is only the beginning,
The spirit that won the victories OF
the last few months is the spirit need
ed TO build a city worthy to be the
capital city and commercial enipori-
um of a great state.
