Lancaster Teller. D. T. Parker, a1ter
long time consideration, and pressure
favoring his candidac- has concluded
not to be candidate for congress.
Many regret his determination, but it
was in truth good deal of a venture.
A candidacy means work and expense.
Mr.. Parker has business that calls con-
stantly for his personal attention. The
expense would have to be incurred by
himself. Mr. Babcock is supposed to
have no business but Office seeking His
expenses are paid by millionaires who
choose congressman to make more mil
lions for them. Hence Mr.. Parker is
excusable.

We are pleased to see Judge Ma
honey's announcement of his candidacy
for member of congress In him Yer
non county presents a clean, honest,
courageous and able candidate and a
man who is in sympathy with vast
majority Of the people OF this district
on all the iE- ,Jortant issues, both Estion-
al and state. As superintendent of
schools, member of assembly, county
Judge and chairman Of the republican
county committee, Judge Mahoney has
always been equal to the task and per-
formed his work TO the satisfaction Of
his constituents and with credit to him
self. 4 man of genial temperament.
cool and collected. man of conviction
and with courage of his convictions In
his announcement he presents to the
people of this district his views on inn
portant matters such as the tariff, inter
state commerce. etc. he advocates
lowering of tariffs on articles manufae-
tured by trusts where the prices of arti-
cles are excessively high and made so in
order to pay dividend on 'watered"
stock and to ''bleed" the people at large.
He advocates enlarging the powers Of
the Interstate Commerce commission to
such an extent that it may be able to
curb the greed of railroad corporations
and put an end to rebates to favored
shippers at the expense Of their smaller
and weaker competitors, as is now prac-
ticed, and of which the commission
speaks in it's report
This is just and proper. Let every
candidate announce his platform Let
the voters of the district know whether
a candidate if elected will represent or
misrepresent them.
Judge Mahoney, if elected, would
probably not get the privilege of issuing
passes to his constituents with my
compliments as our present famous"
congressman has done but the people
are less anxious for passes and more
anxious for legislation that will place
corporate interests under control of the
government as they should be, rather
than allow them TO be bosses and dictate
legislation as they have done the past
quarter century. Let as wake up to
our own interests and not be fooled any
longer by slippery wire pullers and pro-
fesslonal politicians

THE DEATH or
mrs. DARROUGH
Funeral Services This Morn
ing al 10 o'clock.

The announcement in Saturday
evenings paper Of the death Of Mrs.
J. NJ Darrough occasioned distress as
it did surprise throughout the city.
Not longer ago than Friday noon
the lady had been about her household
duties at two O'Clock, p. m, Saturday,
Feb. 20, she died Of pneumonia Six
or eight hours earlier she gave birth
TO fine baby boy, and the child is
hearty and well Another little child,
a daughter Of four, Helen, as well as
the husband, is left in deepest sorrow.
The funeral took place from the
Methodist church this morning at ten
O'Clock, interment being at the ceme-
tery north Of the city.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev II. II. Watson, others of the
city's pastors assisting. A great con-
course Of friends were present TO pay
their respects to the memory OF the
dead and listen to the words of conso-
lation from the minister.
Mrs. Darrough was 25 years OF age,
and TO all outward appearances was
thoroughly happy with her lot in life.
An affectionate family, loving friends,
and a newly constructed and furnished
home seemed TO fill every wish. Why
death should have entered at the mo-
menf OF supreme laupiness Is one of
the mysteries mans finite view will
never succeed in penetrating.
The lady was Miss Alleen Walton,
whose father is the owner Of the chain
Of Walton lumber yards throughout
this territory and Oklahoma. Her
husband, Mr. J. NJ Darrough is the
head Of the Darrough Hardware Co.,
Of this city, and Q brother Of the /
