door, and the opportunity which
is here for all who may want to
engage in the lead and zinc min

moral support to this propaganda
of advertising the opportunities
to be derived from investment in
Baxter Springs most staple and
permanent resource, the mining

Springs camp.
This is a move in the right di-
rection, and while the men who
are conducting this campaign of
publicity, have not solicited any
financial support from the citi-
zens of Baxter Springs, they have
every right to expect. and receive,
the undivided moral support and
encouragement of, not only every
citizen of Baxter Springs, but
every one interested in the Bax'

This plan of publicity has
brought more investors to the
camp within the past thirty days
than had been in the field fol

Hon. E. F. Noel's Views.

The platform of Hon. e. F. Noel
of Holmes county, candidate for
governor, will be found in today's
paper and it is worthy of careful
rerusal. as it gives the views of
this distinguished gentleman on
many important questions OF the
day.
1t is "A very practical and
straightforward paper, and ideas
are expressed in the clearest En-
glish. No double Interpretation
can be placed upon any point dis
cussed, as no ambiguity is en-
ployed in expressions.
Mr.. Noel reaffirms the position
he had before taken, that all Off
GERS should be elected by direct
vote of the people, even United
States senators, judges and ievee
commissioners, insisting that the
people are as competent to elect
these as other officers. He comes
very near calling spade a spade,
VIII he says:
THE centralizing tendency of
taking the choice of officers away
from those whose interests are
most yitalIy affected is undemo-
cratic, fostering rings and factions
which seek for the purpose of
graft TO dominate the selection
uf officers. controlling patron, &c
of Importance. Judges and levee
commissioners should be made
elective, and the patronage OF the
chief executive reduced to the
smallest limits practicable. !"
Mr.. Noel declares for an effi-
aient system of public schools and
colleges, which should be so N IN
,ged as to minimize political in
q FENCES, and favors change IN
distribution Of the school fund,
which would be more equitable IN
results to the white children OF
the State.
He insists that the State should
live within it's inc ome, and that
all property should bear it's just
pro portion of taxes and.calls atten-
] ton to tour defective assessment
