IT is very important that every voter
in the county acquains himself with the
new ballot this fall or he may lose his
vote. The popnlists and democrats, es-
pecially, should be very careful. If
they desire to vote both the county and
etate ticket they must keep out of the
circle. The state ticket will appear Sec
ond on the ballot and the independent
ticket will be on the extreme right. To
vote these tickets mark your X in the
square at the right of each candidates
name. Don't mark in any of the 60 lares
in any place where no name appears or
where the words, "no nomination." ap-
pear. If you do. your vote will not be
counted. Any mark on the ballot any.
where except cross in the square
at the right of candidates name,
makes the ballot void. An erasure
makes it void also. Study the ballot.
Let keep out of the circle" be your
motto.

So AT last the chief mogul of repub-
licanism of Barber county has admitted
that the party's Official organ did the
wrong thing when it engineered that
printer bill through the legislature.
There is moral in this If the q. O. o.
erred two years ago it will do so next
year. Better send Walker to the legis
lature and there will be no danger of
such tricks. When the republican ma.
chine puts such bill through the leg
islature one year it might do some.
thing equally rs bad another year.

THE KiOwa News Review. one of the

this one out to the g. o. p. machine in

There is no open revolt OIL the re-

harmony and no concerted action for
the success of the entire ticket among
the leaders and active Republicans

AS WAS expected, the republican state
committee paid no attention to the de-
mand made by the rank and file of the
party, not to nominate an oppo nent to
JUDGE Doster. The politicians would
no more think of quitting their fight
on Doster than they would Of quitting
politics. They have no use for a digni
fed and honorable judiciary and they
are going to have their kind of men on

people this fall which will alter their

THE TELEPHONE CASE.

AS vet the order for the dismissal
of the night operator by the local
manager of the telephone company has
not been recinded, but il is not likely
that the management in Denver will
allow an action to stand in the local
office that is so palpably unjust and so
strongly opposed by public sentiment.
Appeals have been made to the local
manager, but he gives out that he
proposes to manage his own business
in his own way. Such a spirit might
serve in some instances, but in a case
where the public is concerned it is
different The telephone company
is in a sense a common carrier. and
exists by virtue of franchises granted
by municipalities. 1t would there.
fore appear to be very poor Judgment
on the part of the local manager to
introduce and attempt to maintain pol
icies obnoxious to the people upon
whom he depends for business
However so many protests are going
in to the head offices in Denver that
this particular case will be taken up
there, and the local manager will un.
doubtedly receive some instructions
that will coDstrain him to change lis
ruling and grant the request of his
subscribers.

HOME FOLKS FIRST.

In another column appears today
very pertinent communication re-
garding matter that is claiming con-
sideration by the local patrons of the
telephone company We believe the
point made by our correspondent is
well taken and should apply to all in.
stitutions in the city.
1t is not advisable to be clannish,
yet at the same time home people
should be taken care Of as far as pos
sible. Florence produces just AS eff
cient clerks, stenographers, and tele-
phone operators as can be secured
from outside sources. and for the
sake of holding together our little
community, the young people whose
capabilities are known should be en-
ployed.
And we think it is hopeful sign
when SO many people are interesting
themselves in the telephone case in
question.

Reward for Honor Students.

Hitherto the University of Denver
has offered free tuition in the College
of Liberal Arts for four consecutive
years to the first honor graduate in
each high school or other accredited
secondary school in Colorado. But
the difference in rank between first
and second honor graduates is usually
small. 1t seemed scarcely fair to
make 80 great gift to the first honor
graduate and to give no recognition at
all to the second honor graduate. So
new plan was adpoted at the meet
ing of the board OF trustees in June of
1902 which is fair and which will
stimulate students in all the high
schools In Colorado. The free schol-
arships are now offered as follows:
To the first honor graduate in every
high school in Colorado where only
9th grade work is given, the univer-
sity OF Denver offers ono year of free
uition in the preparatory school.
In every high school in Colorado
where 9th and 10th grade work is
given, the University of Denver Off
ers. in the preparatory school, one
vaar nf fraa tuit;ou tn rho 6rSf honor
graduate and one year of free tuition
to the second honor graduate
In every high school in Colorado
where 9th and 10th and 11th grade
work ia given the University of Den
yer offers three years of free tuition.
namely two years to the first honor
graduate and one year to the second
honor graduate.
In every high school and accredited
secondary school in Colorado where
the course covers the full four years
of work necessary to secure admission
to the freshman class in the college of
liberal arts, the University of Denver
offers four years of free tuition in the
college of liberal arts, namely, two
years to the first honor graduate and
two years to the second honor grad
