CHAPTER TX.

On the following morning, shortly
before the judicial hour of ten, Guy
and Pettibone proceeded to the build
ing containing the drug store and
assembled to the second story. Here
was the courtroom and likewise the
small apartment utilized as a jail.
Unlocking the door of the latter
chamber, Pettibone requested Barney
to come forth. The prisoner obeyed,
and when he saw Guy he pressed close
to him and asked in low tone, while
the sheriff busted himself relocking
the door:
"Did you give me away?'
"No," replied Guy, land will not.
If you can get clear, Barney, go back
to Harmony and stay there That will
be the safest and best thing you can
do"
Barney nodded as the sheriff Joined
them and they started for the court
room.
AS has been stated, Christopher
Waffle owned a threshing outfit. His
profession was that of an itinerant
thresher of grain; incidentally, as will
be remembered, he was also justice of
the peace.
There was, in Christopher Waffle, a
certain warmth of originality and
sharpness of purpose that had earned
him the sobriquet of "Hot Waffle"
But Christopher Waffle cared not for
public opinion, good or ill. He made
it his exclusive aim to please Waffle,
| nd hJ1c l.
ing on good terms with himself, what
ever might be the state of his feel
ings toward the rest of mankind
When Guy, Barney and Pettibone
entered the room, the judge had not
yet arrived. Col. Keever was there,
however, his white hat severely set
upon his ample brows mute testi-
mony of his mental condition. There,
also, was Lem Bilkins, twisted about
chair in close proximity to the Colo
mel and watching his every movement
with an admiration that was almost
soulful. Glimmer was there-Mrs.
Glimmer having agreed to look after
the Emporium during his absence
and Pinney, the druggist, and Lef6ng-
WE'LL proprietor of the livery stable,
and Sampson, and Mr.. Burberry, who
was supposed to be lawyer and who
possessed a painfully meager form, a
Ratchet face, had an impeachment in his
speech and had been retained by the
defense. Others were present, but
none especially noteworthy. The
buzz of conversation ceased abrupt
ly upon the coming of the sheriff with
his prisoners-for it was plain that
Guy was considered in the light of
malefactor, spared the odium of i'm
prisonment merely because. of Petit
bone and upon the latter's RESPONSE
bility.
Frigid looks were directed at Guy
by every one except-strange as it
may appear-the redoubtable Colonel.
The manager of the Townsite COM
pany had slept upon the incidents of
the preceding afternoon and had come
to the conclusion that he had been
somewhat hasty with Guy. Solely by
grace of the young man he was d.
recting the affairs of the town. The
office, was no sinecure, but if Concord
won in the contest his paper would
"boom" and his nest would be feath-
cred in other ways. For these rea-
sons, the glances he shot in Guys di-
rection were of the sorrowful and in
jured-but-forgiving kind.
chair, a table, glass and a broken
water pitcher were awaiting the
judge, who finally arrived. He was
clad in overa1ls carelessly tucked
into his boot tops, was in his shirt

youth with good deal of mental pab-
ulum.
Every makeshift and design in the
rival towns appeared to cluster about
the personality of Miss Betty-Miss
Betty with her Titan hair and melting
ing, as brave as she was resourceful.
She had met Col. Keever's most diplo-
matte move, bringing in voters from
Bismarck to offset those from James,
town. The contest was assuming pro-
portions which made Guy extremely du-
bious of the result. Miss Betty was like
~ to win the county seat away from
him and his heartalong with it. After
an hours fruitless reflection Guy bor-
rowed county map of Pedro, fortified
himself with good cigar and went up
to his room to consider the question of
Amityville. z.a
This village was the only other town
in Goodwill county. A marginal note
on the map Informed Guy that it's pop
ulation was only about thirty-five
These thirty-fve were undoubtedly IA
vorable to Harmony, for Amityville lay
to the west of that town and conse-
quently nearer to it than to Concord.
In order for Harmony to present petit
ton containing the names of two
thirds Of the qualified voters in the
county, Amityville must have signed it
to man. Here was a good field for
effort, Guy thought. Why could he not

MAKE AN AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN

An aggressive direction of the work in the various
States by the Democratic National Congressional Cam
paign Committee in Washington promises 10 re-
suit in Democratic gains which shall eloquently test
fy to the condition Of public sentiment throughout
country.
There is reason to believe that the Republican
party has suffered calamitous decrease of strength
before the people. The failure of the first session
the Fifty=seventh Congress to take effective action
against the trusts to establish reciprocity with Cuba
to accept the plain duty of tariff revision or in any
degree whatever to prove that the Republican party
represented the people and not the trusts has created
marked and widespread resentment. A record of
faithessness to duty is not record upon which to
win victory at the polls
Fearless Democratic insstence upon tariff reform
will appeal to the American people as never be-
fore. The truth has become manifest that the opera
ton of the DiDgey high tariff is directly against the
interests of the people profitable though it be for the
mOnopoes. The object lesson taught by the Steel
Trust earning half million dollars day and charg
ing American $1 per more for its prod
uct than ii charges European for the
product, emphasizes in an unforgettabe manner the
cost Of the Dingley tariff TO this people. Demo-
cratic campaign on the issue of tariff reform and
honest antitrust legislation will win hundreds OF
thousands of votes for Democratic candidates.
Indications point to the fact that such campaign
the part Of American Democracy will be a victorE
campaign this year. 1t should be followed by n
resolute effort along the lines in 1904
the control of the Government from Republican to
Democratic hands. The issue of both campaigns must
be the tariff and the trusts, the people themselves
making this the dominant issue. The certain way to
remedy the trust evil is by Of tariff revision
AS the representative Of the people the Democratic
party must pledge itself to reform of the DingIey
tariff which has sacrificed the rights of the people to
the privileges of the trusts.

the work of construction were the only thing which
had to be considered. The energy which has been
displayed in the work far is demonstration of this
fact If the foreign exhibits could have been secured
in time, the Fair would have been held on the date
first announced
Yet the postpOnement makes possible more thor
ough preparation. When visitors arrive here for the
opening exercises they will not be disappointed be-
cause many important exhibits are not installed.
The Fair will probably break all records in this
respect. The Columbian Exposition management did

REPUBLICAN REPUTATION.

Mr.. Joseph T. Tatum has shown in another letter
TO The Republic just what the Republican members
of the General Assembly must do in regard to the
ness if they consistent with the party platform
adopted in Jefferson City.
That platform asserts that the certificates are un-
lawful and not binding obligations upon the State.
The proposed Constitutional amendment is termed a
measure 'rehabilitate" the School Fund If it fails
10 be adopted according this platform. there is
alternative but repudiate the certificates Illegal
obligations
True. for the past thirty years Republican MEM
berS of the General Assembly have only voted for
their issuance but have supported the appropriations
for the interest the certificates. They probably
did in the belief that the certificates consttu-
tiOnal and binding.
Mr. TatUm shows that any attempt 10 diferenate
between the bonds and the certificate is a failure.
The essential legal language is the same in both.
There is nothing in the Constitution which says that
certificate is not Il bond. Nothing in the statutes
makes 4 certificate anything other than a bond
Yet Republican legislators who may be elected this
fall must vote against any appropriation for interest
on these certificates According To the theory forced
upon them by the party bosses they will he violating
the Constitution unless they repudate the certificates
Two nominees for the Supreme Court have had the
courage 10 say that they believe the certificates are
valid They voted in the Legislature and have not
changed their minds. Candidates for legislative posi-
lions have not had the courage disown the party
platform. Their action in the General Assembly can
only be prophesied by the promises and declarations
made in the platform.

ANOTHER VICTORY FOR MR.. FOLK.

Circuit Attorney Folk has scored another victory
in presenting evidence against Faulkner upon which
the trial jury returned verdict of guilty resulting
sentence of two years in the Penitentary, and the
Doodle prosecutions resumed this week with un-
abated vigor.
Good citizens Of ST. Louis have reason to congratu-
late themselves upon the progress being made towar
municipal publication. The record thus far is one
Of unbroken triumphs for the cause of justice.
There exists bitter prejudice which creates a
peril Of conviction Of the innocent but there is
determination that the guilty shall be brought to
punishment Successive Grand Juries and trial juries
make this truth plain.
There is good warrant for confidence that the salts
factory record thus far established by Circuit
torney Folk will be maintained TO the end The
ment to suppress municipal corruption in st. Louis
would have been utterly futile but for the fact that
strong, honest and fearless occupied the Circuit
Attorneys Office Mr.. Folk is deservedIy held in high
esteem by the local community the right man in
the right place AT the right time.

WORLD'S-19O4-FAIR.
PLANNING GREAT THINGS.

Conferences which have been held at the office OF
the Republican State Committee relative to the con
duct of this years campaign will strike the average
practical politician as decidedly humorous. The
grave and of the plans formu
lated in consultation have a naive touch which har
monies well with Republican management in this
State.
Party organs declare that the Supreme Court nomi-
nees will not take the stump this fall they believe
that such course would not be dignifed. Two years
ago the Republican nominees in st. Louis did not
think much. Perhaps their nightly canvass of the
ward meetings did them no good, but they were the
last to observe the fact.
Colonel Kerens is reported to have asked whether
any speakers from outside of the State desired
evidently coupling the query with the offer to pro-
duce them. In view of the advice which was rendered
by the Missouri State Republican regarding the I'm
portaton Of orators it is hardly probable that the
bloody shirt will be waved any more than is neces-
sary. The Republicans are busy explaining their
work in this State during the period Immediately
following the Civil War and have desire to add to
the trouble
1t is also announced that "an aggressive campaign
will be waged." Democrats wish nothing better.
The more fuss the Republicans make in Missouri the
fewer votes they will receive. 1t has been the case
invariably. The parading of ofice-seekng politicians
has always been dstasefu to the people of this State
1t is only when the voters are caught mapping that
Republicans can make a showing in Missouri.
And the voters not mapping this year. They
thoroughly aroused the calumnies which
Republican organs and politicians have heaped
against the State that they determined resent
the accusations with Democratic majority that has
not been equaled in recent years Let the Republic
ans confer. As election day approaches they will
have reason to get together even more frequently.
Their conduct during the past few months has been
such that the Democrats will only cease their re-
sstance the attacks made the honor Of the State
when the who unfortunate enough to be iden-
ti6ed with them are defeated.

comment upon Southern happenings, the New
York Evening Post takes occasion express salts

murder, hanged in spite Of powerful family and

prominence and counted upon their social connections
to escape paying the penalty OF the crime but they
were duly found guilty and Governor Longino re-
fused to grant commutation OF the sentence Of
death
The second case was that OF a negro who had killed
a white man. He also was tried in Greenvne, help
less and without influence. The jury composed
Of white men. The testimony developed the truth
that the negro had acted in self-defense. He was
promptly acquitted.

Such action is exceptionally commendable. Good
