WHITE REPUBLICANS
ASSERT THEMSELVES
BLACKS OF ALABAMA WILL PROB
ABLY HAVE LITTLE VOICE
IN PARTY AFFAIRS
HEREAFTER.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. 1.-The state
executive committee of the Republican
party of Alabama will meet In Birming-
ham Saturday and several questions OF
unusual Importance will come before that
body, chief among them being that OF
representation and qualification. There
is a strong sentiment in favor OF basing
the representation upon the vote cast for
Mckinley in the late presidential election
and also a strong sentiment against al
lowing any one to participate In the state
convention who has been DISTINGUISHED
under the new constitution. If the senti-
ment in favor OF these two propositions
prevails the Republican party will be
placed absolutely in control Of the white
men of the party and long step Will De
taken toward building up strong white
Republican organization in this state.
The executive committee will call con-
vention to be held either In Birmingham
or Montgomery, and at this convention
full state ticket win be put out owing
to the fierce Internal fight which Is being
waged in the Democratic party the Re
publicans hope to be able to make an I'M
usually good showing in the November
election, and by excluding all disfran-
chised persons from its councils, be able
to draw into its folds that class Of white
voters who believe in the principles or the
Republican party but have remained In
the Democratic ranks on account of the
negro. 1t seems to be the desire OF the
leaders to place the party on thorough
" respectable basis and to this end q
movement is now on foot looking to a
restoration of harmony within the ranks.
Today a conference is being held between
the friends of William Vaughan, chair
man of the Republican state executive
committee. and Julian H. Bingham, lead
er of the Bingham faction, and It Is be-
lieved that differences existing between
these factions will be patched up and will
not appear in the committee meeting to-
morrow. Chairman Vaughan will not be
q candidate for reelection to the chair
manshipS so he announces, and this is
taken to be step In the direction of
harmony.

past 40 days about $500 people have re-
ceived appointments in the government
service after passing the civil service ex-

for appointments for similar period, and
shows that the government has a lot or
business TO transact.
The greater part Of these appointments
were in the postal service, and were due to
the great increase congress recently
made in the rural free delivery.

HENS EXPERT REPORTS
Will Recommend That the Attempt
to Pipe Gas Away bel Given Up
Should be Used Here

The REGISTER learns from o most
reliable source which for excellent
reasons is not divulged, that the ex-
pert in gas matters whom Mr.. j. j..
Helm hired to look into the Allen
county gas field will report adversely
TO the enterprise.
The expert is Mr.. Johnson who
came here Monday with Mr.. Helm and
went over the field carefully and col
lected full data of the district. Mr..
Johnson made the trip once before,
when Prof. Orten, the gas expert of
Indiana, examined the field some
years ago. Mr.. Johnson tested sew
eral wells and his recommendation
will doubtless go along way with Mr..
Helm. He found that the new Noble
we'll measures up TO the first big we'll
in strength. He found that Helm
might secure 200 acres OF developed
gas land. But he also states that to
pipe it to Kansas City the volume OF
gas available would not last long
enough to get the money out of the
pipe line. If used on the ground the
gas would supply fuel for years tc
several large concerns, but the waste
and loss of power in transmission
would be ruinous.
On the project of piping to Joplin
he likewise thinks it would not bel &
financial success. The supply woulC
last longer but the expenses would be
great and the prices low and thu
market limited,
If Mr. Helm can only be persuaded
that the way to make money out of th'
gas is to build factories on the grounC
and use the gas for cheap fuel, he viii
make more money out of itthan h,
would to bury a fortune in a pip,
line, and he would be given the glaC
hand by the people of 1.-THE coup'y. l
he seeks to pipe it away theve will b
trouble.
So for every reason it is hoped tina
Mr.. iJohnson's report will turn hin
and Mr. Helm will engage in tn
manufacturing business here.

Would You Do 1t?

Would you buy groceries ola grocer
who had no scales? Would you buy
of dry goods merchant who had no
yard measure? WouldIyou employ a
carpenter who had no saw? If such
men existed would youIexpect them to
succeed?
Why then expect farmer to sue
ceed who does not take good, live,
up-to-date agricultural and livestock
paper. A paper of this class is just
as much necessary part of the tools
for the farm as the scales for the
grocery store orlthe saw to the car
penter.
When man in any kind of business
secures the necessary tools for that
usiness he can do better work and is
surer of success if gets the best.
When farmer secures farm paper
he should get the one that is publish
ed in the territory and by men who
understand the conditions under which
he lives.
1t is absurd to seek agricultur a
information from paper published
in another State and by men who
know nothing of Kansas conditions.
Cash paid for such a paper 10 dead
expense. Cash paid for the home
printed and progressive paper is an
investment.
The "Old Reliable" Kansas Farmer
is the only paper that exactly meets
the requirements of the farmers and
| live stock men of the State.
We have now perfected arrange
ments by which we can send you the

Kansas Farmer for Sl.90. Send your
