MORTON ALBAUGH, State Bank Com
missioner and Chairman of the republi.
can state committee, slipped and fell
down the State house steps on Saturday
and broke his thigh near the hip. His
condition at last account was regarded
dangerous. It is the duty of the jani
tors at the state house to. keep those
steps in safe condition but they are
too busy talking politics, says the Kan
eas City Star, to attend to the work for
which they are paid. Chief Justice
Doster and other state officers sustained
some hard falls but were not seriously
injured.

The following from the Kansas CITY
Star. is little old, but it will show what
the better element of prominent repub-
hcsns think of the election robbery in
this county:
A few days ago when Stanley, in the
state board of con vassers, was voting
with George A. CLARK and George E.
Cole to confirm Nixon Of Barber county
In his seat, Jewett was oyer in the hotel
lobby taking Nixon to task for making
the contest. II asked him." Jewett said
afterward, 'to explain on any fair basis
how ne could consent to such q thing,
and he lodged"

MORT ALBAUGH's middle ofthe-road
ticket wasn't bowling success. Lath rop,
the candidate for governor got 6S5 votes
IN the state, an average of about five
votes per county. The ticket was con-
ceived for the purpose Of adding to the
complication of the ballot and confusing
the voter. The cost to the state for this
mongrel ticket was about SIS for every
man voting it. 1t seems little queer
that the secretary of state was 80 partic.
ulsr about permitting names of Demo
cratic and Populist candidates to 20 on
the ballot, that every small technicality
OF the law had to be fulfilled to the letter
IN their case, yet this ticket which
had no father, mother, brother, sister
friend or playmate, was permitted to sp.
pear on the ballot without let or hin.
drsnce or question. when not more than
one man was ever suspected of % rtici.
pating in it's nomination. The mysteri.
Gus workings of Secretary Clark In con.
nection with the election of 1902 will
never be explained. With such men at
the lead Of our state government it will
never be possible to get fair expression
from the people at the polls.

ReY. Irl r. Hicks 1908 Almanac.

To say that this splendid work of
science and art is finer and better than
ever, is stating it mildly. The demand
for it is beyond all previous years. To
say that such results, reaching through
THIRTY YEARS, are not based up
on sound sense and usefulness, is
an insult to the intelligence OF the
millions. Prof. Hicks, through this
great Almanac. and his famous family
and scientific journal, WORD AND
WORKS, is doing work for the whole
people not approached by any other man
or publications. fair test will prove this
to any reasonable person. Added to the
most luminous course in astronomy for
1908, forecasts Of storms and weather
are given as never before, for every
day In the year, all charmingly ilIust-
rated with nearly two hundred engrav-
ings. The price of single Almanac, in
Guiding postage and mailing, is thirty
cents. Word and Works with the Al
manac is 81 90 year. Write to Word
and Works Publishing Co., 22O1 Locust
Street, st. Louis, Mo-. and prove to
yourself their great value. The Word

Now that repu blican supreme court
demonstrated that it hasn't the courage
to say whether it was right or wrong to
count eight more votes for E. II. Nixon
than were cast, the people Of Barber
county are going to ask a republican
Legislature to pass on the merits of the
case. OF course, there is very little
hope for justice, but they will have to
cay it and shoulder the responsibility.

TRUSTS AND THEIR '.REMeDY.'

The Republican leaders at w ashinRton
are just now doing a great many things
and saying a great many things in re-
gard to remedy" for the trusts.
President Roosevelt suggests public
icy" ss remedy. Senator Mason yes
terday introduced resolution for q
constitutional amendment. as q
remedy" O:her Republican leaders
are suggesting OTHER remedies"
All such talk is made largely for the
purpose Of deceiving and misleading the
people.
What evidence is there at this time
that we need any remedy"
What has been done to demonstrate
the mption that the law We already
have ia not Efficient and adequate for all
requirements?
Nothing
If President Roosevelt and other Re.
publican leaders are in earnest about
the matter, why do they not give the
present Law fair and honest trial and
demonstrate either its efficiency or in
efficiency?
Until they do this; until they make
an earnest effort to enforce the present
law, they must nsc.s4arily stand before
the people self cow. ed of insincerity
and hypocrisy.
The present law may need a few
minor amendments in the way of sever.
ity and comprehensiveness, to ft
expanding conditions, but it is all
right in the main.
A trust is but an individual in the
aggregate. 1t lie a creature Of the law
and is amersble to the law, the same
as an individual.
Fundamentally, law is but rule of
conduct defining that which is right and
prohibiting that which is wrong.
If an individual violates the Law, he is
punished by the same power which laye
down that law.
Why not apply this simple, yet COM
prehensive rule to the trust?
II this be unconstitutional then our
entire legal, judicial and constitutional
fabric must necessarily fall.
The chief difficulty with the present
trust situation lice, not so much with
the law itself as it does with the enforc.
ing power Of the law.
AS matter of fact the Republican
leaders do not want to remedy" the
trusts. They are bound by pledges, as
sociations and self-interest to protect
the truste. 1t is for this purpose that
they are kept in power
The Republican leaders who are not
trust magnates themselves are elected
by the trusts by reason of pledges made
to the trusts.
The trusts control the policies, end
dictate the course of the Republican
party
All this talk of the Republican leaders
about remedying the trusts is made for
the purpose of deCeiving and mislead-
ing the people.
The people can hope for no relief from
the trusts through the Republican party.
