TREASURES STOLEN
FROM SPANISH CHURCH

MADRID. March THE Cathedral
Church Of SantilIana, in the province of
Santander, which is one Of the finest
specimens of the Gothic Hispeno art
existing. and dates back to the eleventh
century, has been robbed Of treasures
valued at $500 COO
Thieves broke in and stole gold and
5 liver ornaments and plate Weighing $50
-ads. the gifts Of congregations OF
5, urshipers for centuries. The church
is veritable museum of national arr.
and some Of the pieces stolen are price
less from the point of view OF antiquity
and workmanship.
The robbers were seen 20 leave the
church, and entering a fast motor car
with their booty, drive away before an
alarm could be given. An examination
Of the building showed that the affair
had been most skillfully planned.

; The republican gang in Medi-
cine Lodge are trying to create the
impression that 0. P. T. Ewell
and w. A. Newkirk were put on
the Democratic ticket for the sole
reason that they were expected to
contribute heavily. to a campaign
slush fund. The fact is that the
Democratic candidates were assess
ed less this year than for any pre-
vious year since 1894, and only
one-tenth as much as the republi-
can candidates. The Democrats
are not figuring on buying their
way in. They are running on their
merit and don't have to resort to
slush funds.

Roscoe ROBINSON, the Democratic
candidate for county superintend-
ent, is one of the few first grade
teachers in Barber county. He is a
self-made instructor, having work
ed his way up from the country
school room, against financial odds.
Mr.. Robinson would very much
like to make an active campaign
and meet every voter in the county
but, having a contract to teach, he
considers his first duty is to the
school district which employed him.
The voter who supports him need
never have any regrets.

The worst thing that the repub-

c. w. Kidd, democratic candidate
for clerk of the district court, is
that he doesn't work steady
enough. Those who have known
Mr.. Kidd during the past fifteen
years, however, take exceptions to
that statement. Mr.. Kidd is a
skilled workman and has applied
himself to his trade more steadily
than most men. His habits and
his character are above reproach
and he is thoroughly competent to
handle the work of the Office. If

IT might be suggested to, several
republican politicians IN this neck
of the woods with perfect propriety
that "Clate Herr" is not an issue
in this campaign. However, since
there is no man on the Democratic

few Medicine Lodge politicians
could not survive if they did not
roast somebody, we are quite
willing to serve as their target.
We've been up against it ten years
and we're getting used to it.

IT may be true, as some of our
republican friends allege, that w.

thoroughly competent to discharge
the duties of the Offices for which
they are candidates, and they are
young men whose personal reputa-
ton and character are without a
single blot or stain.

composed of five farmers, one,

The very best answer TO this propo-
sltlon made by Candidate Roosevelt IS
Roosevelt. The same man who as a
candidate for president says that the
FAipinoS must not be. given self govern
ment until they have learned to govern
themselves wisely according to the
view Of their masters, wrote a book
entitled The Winning of the West"
In vol. 4, page PIT of that work it will
be found that Theodore Roosevelt said:
The Jeffersouians believed in the
acquisition of teOritOry in the west and
the federalists did not The
Je1ferS0nians believed that the western
ers should be allowed to govern them
selves precisely as other citizens of the
United States did and should be given
their full share in the management of
national affairs. Too many federalists
failed TO see that these positions were
the only proper ones to take. In con-
sequence, Notwithstanding all their
manifold shortcomings, the Jefferson
ians, and not the federalists, were those
to whom the west owed the most.
Whether the westerners governed them
selves as wisely as they should have
mattered little. The essential point
was that they had to be given the right
of self government. They could not be
kept In pupilage. Like other Ameri.
cans they had to be left to strike out
for themselves and to sink or swim
according to the measure of their own
capacities. When this was done, it
was certain that they would commit
many plumbers and that some plumbers
would work harm no only to them.
selves but the whole nation. Never.
theless, all this had to be accepted as
part of the penalty paid for free
government"
It will seen that in his winning
of the West" Mr.. Roosevelt said that
it was of little Importance whether
men govern themselves as wisely as
they should; the essential point is that
they must be given the right of self
governments; they cannot be kept in
pupilage: like other builders of govern.
ment they must strike out for them
selves and sink or swim according to
the measure of their own capacities; of
course they would naturally commit
many plumbers and some of these
plumbers would work harm not
only to themselves but to the whole
nation; nevertheless all this must be
accepted as part of the penalty paid for
free ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
