To Our Patrons

We find ourselves at the start OF
this year 1905, considerably short
on money.
In looking over our list we notice
there is quite sum of money due
on subscription. Many subscribers
owing from one to five dollars and
some even more.
We hope that every one who has
read the TINES the past year and
has not already paid up will make
an effort to bring or send us in a
dollar or more during this month.
If you will do this it will greatly
add to our peace of mind and allow
US to devote our time and energies
to the making of better paper in
stead of worrying over where the
Turner tads are going to get the
beans for the next meal. The
above suggestion does not apply TO
any subscriber who lost his crop
last year and is really not in condi-
tion to pay.

Carnegie Library.

1t seems we are to have a hne
$125oo library building. The
council has acted on the matter and
passed a resolution accepting the
proposition and annually SIa5o out
of the library fund for its mainten-
ance.
We look upon this as a good
move. The building will be an
ornament to the city and the library
should be made means of great in
tellectual development among the
young and source of pleasure and
profit to the reading public.

Council Acted

Doubtless the council made a
good move when they secured the
s, 900, 900 feet of gas per day from
the Oklahoma Co.
This deal allows the city to fur
nish gas to manufacturing indus
tries at &C per thousand feet. That
is the ratie that has been advertised
but the city has never been in shape
to furnish it in any large quantities
at that rate without endangerlng
her supply for domestic purposes
Now she can make good and as a
city we are ready to make good.
We consider this one OF the best
moves the council has made in the
gas business. The next thing now
should be to buy up all contiguous
gas territory. We cannot get toe
much, and we are inclined to be-
lieve we cannot get it too soon.
The value of gas land is increasing
every day.
We are more than pleased to see
our council acting in the matter and
hope they will continue the good
work.

be a public necessity but it looks
much like a bore TO those who are
compelled to participate.
The people who participated IN
this reception were a well dressed,
prosperous looking crowd. The
ladies were handsomely and elabor
auely gowned and many of the
gentlemen wore full dress suits,
patent feathers and all.

a New Administration

Monday afternoon of this week
new governor of Kansas was inau-
gurated. The ceremonies were
simple and unostentations.
Eugene Ware presided. Mr..
Hoch, Gov. Bailey, Elk Gov. Nor
rll sat together on the platform, in
the order named. Representative
hall, where the ceremonies were held,
was crowded till standing room was
alta premium. Every foot of avail
able space in the galleries and on
the floor was taken long before the
ceremonies began.
Ware made few remarks and
introduced Gov. Bailey who made
a very nice little speech and he was
followed by Mr.. Hoch who read a
short ard g ''efully prepared ao-
dress.
The oath of Office was administer
ed to each state officer elect and tn
Inauguration ceremonies were over.
AS the two men sat side beside
facing that large audience, the one
laying off and the other assuming
the garb of authority, We could no,
help noting the difference in ex-
preston on the two faces. That of
Gov. Bailey seemed to wear look
Of relief mingled with an expressl on
of defiance. His speech commend
ed the state for its achievements
and he recon- mended his adminis-
tration as the best he knew how
to give. Error there must have
been but no intentional wrong do
ing.
He said the tinge of shame would
never mantle his cheek for any
official act while governor. Thai
ne had ever acted from conscien.
clous motives and given to he besl
state in the Union the best govern.
ment that was within his power.
Mr.. Hoch had an expression OF
humility and seemed deply i'm
pressed with the gravity of the re-
sponsibilities he was assuming.
He glori6ed Kansas in his remarks
and placed his trust in higher
power for strength to meet the
trials and temptation of the
position he was about to assume.
The reception Monday night was
rather swell Attain. The govern
ors and their wives, the members
of the supreme court and their
wives together with the various
state officers and their wives were
lined up against the wall and the
crowds filed by and shook each by
the hand. For two hours or more
the hand shaking continued. 1t
seemed rather hard ordeal for the
men and they looked worried but
the ladies seemed to enjoy it first
rate.
These public receptions where
persons have to stand for hours and
shake hands with people. the most

this conviction, | refuse to be,
blinded by theory however sound,
or confused by misleading terms.
II an arrogant and almost omnipo-
tent monopoly is to control in any
business circle, the competitive
system Is slaughtered IN the house
of its friends, for monopoly is but
one form Of socialism masquerad-
ing under the namo of competition.
Monopoly destroys competition and
that is all socialism does, consider
ed from an industrial standpoint.
Rather, therefore, than permit the
great monopolies to rob us of the
benefits of the vast reservoirs of oil
which have been stored by theCrea-
tor beneath our soil, | am inclined
to waive my objection to the social
islic phase of this subject and re-
commend the establishment of an
oil refinery of our own in our state
for the preservation of our wealth
and the protection of our people.
A respected correspondent object.
ing to this proposition says that
"every Kansan has always wished
that ou. corn might be converted
into beef and pork before it was
shipped, but no one thinks it would
be good idea for the state to 30
into the business of feeding corn in
order to bring about that result. J"
This is plausible, but not a sound
argument. The cases are not an
alogous 1t trust should become
able to universally control the price
of corn, and should do it to the
continual detriment of its producers
then, the cases would be similar,
and l apprehend my friend can now
see the falacy of his argument.
Our producers are now compelled
to sell their crude oil entirely too
| cheap, while the consumers Of the
final product are compelled to pay
too much for it. Thus, are we be
ing ground beneath the upper and
neither ll>stones of monopoly, and
the people are rightfully demanding
relief.
He recommended more COM
plete supervision of the railroads of
the state and some means Of equaliz-
ing and adjusting rates.
Commends the charitable and
educational institutions of the state,
recommends liberal appropriations
for their sustenance anc upbuilding
a1d recommends a consolidation of
The various boards.
All told the message is strong
vigorous article and if all its recon-
m endations are followed by the law
makers this winter, few errors will
be made.
The stand taken on the oil and
gas proposition will be eminently
satisfactor to the people of the gas
belt and we trust the Legislature will
find some means of checking tn S
great wong done to the people of
Kansas generally and this part Of
the state in particular.

warm throughout the day. and the
snow did no harm to crops. while it

Fergus county bounty inspectors
are notified that under ruling just
made by Attorney General Galen, they
are authorized to count skins turned
in to them, and issue bounty warrants
only on the first three days of the
month, except where the last of these
three days happens to be a holiday.
The ruling is of importance not only
to the inspectors. but to the men who
have earned the money for the skins.
The opinion is quite lengthy one,
but the gist of it is contained in a
paragraph which says that "the boun-
ty inspector is only authorized to ex-
anime skins or issue bounty certificates
on the first three days of each month,
unless the last of the first three days
of the month. computed by excluyl-
ing the first, falls upon holiday, and
in that event the inspector may leg
ally act upon the following day. But
where the first day is holiday, or
the second day is holiday, no ex-
ception to the provision of the law
is made.'
