NOT SETTLED YET

The city council has not yet re-
considered that official printing
matter. We are not yet discouraged
or disheartened over the delay. The
council has many things to consi-
der ana worry over and they will
get to it in good time. We do not
think for minute that good keen
business men who look after their
own interests carefully and have a
reputation among our citizens of
fair and honest dealing at all times
and under all circumstances, will
allow a measure like this that is so
evidently unjust and contrary to
correct business principles and that
smacks so much of dishonesty and
political graft stand, even though
they did vote for it once without
fully considering the measure in all
its bearings.
The members now freely admit
their carelessness in not collecting
rents due the city. 1t was simply
an unpleasant duty the responsibility
for which could be shifted and the
results were 1t was neglected. When
the account had grown to consider
able proportions this indirect me-
thod of collecting was proposed and
adopted without realizing that more
than twice the amount of the debt
was being given away. There has
been some very harsh criticism of
the councils action and the motives
that actualed these actions INDUCED
in by our daily papers and personal
motives have been impugned and
many very harsh things have been
said and accusations made that
would not look well in print. In
fact, the tax payers of the city who
have taken the pains to look into
the matter somewhat are very sore
over the matter and are saying
some uncomplimentary things about
the council that seem unduly harsh.
AS yet We have not lost faith in the
honesty, integrity and good inten-
tons of the council and believe they
will of their own accord correct the
error they unthoughtedly made by
reconsidering the whole matter and
giving all the papers of the city an
equal hance in this matter and not
make the letting of the city printing
debt collecting agency, at least
unless it is let on a fair basis.

A HELPLESS CHILD

A weak and puny child Is badly
handicapped in the battle Of life. 1t
is isolated from the healthy enjoy
ments of its little fellow beings. 1t
cannot partake either of their play or
their sturdy work and progress in the
world; its whole life is embittered by
incapacity and weakness. Any woman
who expects to become a mother
ought to know what DR.. Pierce's Fa-
yorite Prescription will do both for
her own health and safety during her
time of trial and also to insure her In
beQusathing fair measure Of health
and strength to the prospective little
one.

AFTER CARTER

The Government is now making
vigorous efforts to collect from ex-
Captain Carter the amount of his
defalcations while doing construc-
ton work for the government. The
Captain has served his five years
sentence in the government peni-
tertiary. 1t looks like he has about
earned all he stoled.

THE BATTLE is ON


abused by lot of hot headed pro
hibitionlsts in different parts of the
state because he did not rush into
the prohibition fight with the ma
chinery of the state. In fact it did
seem like the Governor might have
forgotten little of his zeal in the
cause because of his long delay.
Now, however, the fight is start d
in earnest and at the right point in
the state and in the right way.
We have always commended that
this law could be enforced as readily
as any other law if the officers
charged with its enforcement were
only as Jealous in that line as in
others. We have always felt that
the mayor of city or county at
torney who allowed these violations
to exist VIGOROUSLY was just as
guilty as the poor fellow who tried
to make living, probably for a
large family, from the illegal traffic,
and was much more deserving of
prosecution because he takes
solemn oath to enforce these laws
as we'll as others.
The attorney generalunder orders
of the Governor has brought suit to
GUST Mayor Rose of Kansas City.
Kansas and County Attorney Glib
son. We hope to see these officers
unceremoniously kicked out of offic c
as they sur.ly deserve and others
equally guilty follow. 1t Is time to
enforce this law OF repeal it, If
it is obnoxious to the people rigid
enforcement will soon cause its
repeal.
No executive officer who holds up
his hand and swears to support the
constitution and enforce the laws of
Kansas can be excused from motto
ing open and wilful violation of law
as it exists in Kansas City Kansas,
Wichita and many other Kansas
cities. 1t is the duty of the chief
executive of the state to see that
these officers do their sworn duty or
make room for men who will.
The Governor of the great state
would be violating his oath of Office
if he did less. And no one can
criticise his action unless he be a
law breaker or sympathizer with
law beakers.
Enforce the law or let it be re-
pealed. The Governor has moth
ing politically to lose in this action,
even if he gagged his actions by
political expediency. He is looked
upon by the whiskey men as pro-
hibition crank and likely to jump
on to them at any time. They
fear and dsstrust him. While the
ultra prohibitionists have become
quite sore because of the apparent
inaction of the Governor.
The time has come when he must
take active sides either for or
against. He has now shown his
hand and the fight is on and we
wish to see it fought out to the bit
ter end till Kansas is surely and
truly prohibition state or the pre-
sent farce of prohibition only in
name be wiped out.

up-to-date stores in the county is
owned by M. P. Strecker, Sites,
Idaho. It is 3Ox7O with a 14-foot
ceiling, and is thoroughly equip
ped with the latest display cases
and conveniences for showing
and displaying goods. 1t is the
only exclusive ladies' and gents
furnishing store in Idaho county,
and his great success is due to
the fact that his stock is as up
to-date and as complete as any
city stock, and as cheap. You
can buy ladies' or gents shoes

Off for Portland.

Two coaches were required to
carry Elk City's contingent to
the Portland fair this week. The
party comprised Mesdames Poy-
neer, Kinkaid, Strong, Basket
and Harrington; Messrs. Poyneer,
Kinkaid and Strong, Victor Her
rington, Ralph Strong and Jessie
Basket. All the members of the
party except, Bud Kinkaid, are
quite familiar with such recent
innovations as the locomotive and
automobile. etc., and no great
degree of uneasiness is felt here
on their account; but considerable
trepidition is expressed as to
Buds escape from the possible
pitfalls awaiting the feet of the
man from the hills. However,
nothing more serious, we think,
need be expected than the posi-
BILE acquisition of a gold brick. 1t
is Mrs. Kinkaid's intention, after
seeing Bud safe on his way home,
to visit her sister at st. Louis be-
fore returning.

THE HEART OF THE HILLS.

There's wonderful country lying
Far off from the noisy town,
Where the wind flower swings,
And the song-bird sings,
And the tumbling brooks come down.
IT'S land of light and laughter,
Where peace all the woodland fills;
IT'S the land that lies
Meath the sunny skies
In the heart of the happy hills.
The road to that wonderful country
Leads out from the gates of care;
And the tired feet
In the dusty street
Are longing to enter there;
And voice from that land is calling,
In the rush of a thousand rills, -
Come away, away,
To the woods today,
To the heart of the happy hills"
Far away to that wonderful country,
Where the skies have deepest hue,
In the shadows cool,
By the foaming pool,
Where we may put on strength anew;
We may drink from the magic fountains
Where the wine of life distils;
And never a care
Shall find us there,
In the heart of the happy hills.

Price Enters Denial.

New York heo. H. Price, the New
York cotton broker, declared that he
had no acquaintance with or knowledge
Of either L. G. Van Ripper or M. Haas
from whom he is said in the report of
the department Of agriculture to have
received information concerning the
cotton crop.
Mr.. Price said that the Washington
report n the leak of cotton statistics
was complete surprise to him; that
he had received no intimation from
the department in any way that his
name had been brought into the mat
ter; that he had received no informa-
ton from Mr. Holmes or the depart
ment in regard to any Of its reports,
directly or indirectly; that the alleg-
ed statement of Secretary Wilson, as
far as he has brought his name into
the matter only through the testimo-
ny Of me Van Ripper, whom he did
not know and had never seen or pre-
viously heard Of was untrue. That I'M
til he was able to secure a fuller re-
port on the subject he could not make
his denial more explicit AMI that in
the meantime any paper mentioning
his name in the matter did so at its
own risk.
Counsel for Theo Fl. Price character
lied the reference to Mr.. Price in the
report given out by Secretary Wilson
as "gratuitous, abominable, out
rageous and malicious statement"

which recently have raised the rate or
cotton from Savannah and other Geor.
gia points to New York and New
England points. The complaint wa:
made by certain Georgia shippers who
represented the rate was made in or
der to destroy the competition be
tween the all rail tariff and the water
tariff and the department Of justice
concluded that the best way to at.
tack such an increase would be to file
bill for an injunction. Suit proba-
bly, will be brought in Savannah with

China in Peace Game.

Washington. China 8 request to be
represented in the Washington con-
ference on the ground that she is vi
tally interested in its proceedings has
been received by the president and
informally transmitted to the beliger-
ents. 1t can be stated that while Rus
STA is inclined to favor the suggestion,
Japan has already made public he1
assurance that Manchuria is to be re-
stored to China. That is one of the
principles for which she says she has
been fighting. Japan regards herself
as fully capable of executing this
promise without the assistance of Chi
ma, and in view Of China's inability
before the war to cope with Russia
IN Manchuria, the japanese govern
ment is unable to see what possible
service Chinese representative
would be in the Washington confer
ence. More over, Japan has all along
taken the position that when peace
negotiations were. begun they would
be conducted directly with Russia.

Havana's Mayor Suspended.

Havana. Gen. Nunez, governor of
Havana province, has suspended Juan
O'Farrill, mayor Of Havana. The rea-
son alleged is that the investigation
Of the mayor and aldermen, begun
over a year ago, developed probable
offenses by the mayor along the line
OF unauthorized and improper expen-
ditures, permitting favored citizens to
escape certain forms Of taxation and
loose conduct Of municipal affairs.
None of the aldrmen was suspended
and the friends Of the mayor point to
the significant fact that the majority
OF the aldermen have just publicly an:
nounced themselves as followers of
Governor NuneZ.

will adhere to the practice now III
vogue at the department. Of agricul-
ture in having only the statistician,
or the assistant secretary pre-
sent when the monthly cotton crop re-
ports are being prepared for publica-
ton. He made this plain in a dis
patch to President Miller, of the
American Cotton Manufacturers AS
now at Charleston, S. c.,
who telegraphed the secretary that If
the representative Of any organiza-
ton interested in cotton was to APP
pear before the department when the
August cotton report is being prepar-
ed, this organization also desired rep
resentation. The secretary promptly
telegraphed Mr.. Miller that no one
except the statistician, himself or the
assistant secretary would be present
when the report was being prepared.
