THE ONLY REAL ISSUE

mere is just onC lSSuC III tHio
campaign in this state and in this
nation 1t will be squarely up to
the people of every voting precinct
to say whether or not they will sus-
tain Theodore Roosevelt in his fight
against aggrandizing wealth in its
encroachment upon the people of
this nation. That is the essence of
the square deal, and the only way
the people of this country from one
end of it to the other can sustain
Theodore Roosevelt is by voting the
Republican ticket. That does not
mean of course that the
voter must vote yellow dog ticket.
Where crooked men are on any Re-
publican ticket they should be
scratched. Roosevelt has never
voted for a crook. He has boasted
publicly of the fact that he has
scratched Republican tickets and
that he will do it again.
But the voter who votes the
Democratic ticket and hopes for
Dem ocratic victory in order to re-
buke his enemies or his party is
making great mistake. In this
state, there is no question but that a
general Democratic victory would
be sad mistake. There is no ques.
ton, also, but that certain men on
the Republican ticket should be de-
feated, in order to prove to the
present Republican machine that
the people will not be trifled with.
But to elect a Democratic state tic
ket woald be just as bad as the cleo
tion of straight and unrebuked
Republican state ticket. The
people of this state have much to
thank Theodore Roosevelt for.
They should listen to his leadership.
They should vote the ticket that he
champions as he would vote it him
self-and no more.
For the issue in this campaln is
Theodore Roosevelt. And if Kar-
sas goes Democratic this year, Bry-
an will carry Kansas next year, and
the election of Bryan would be
national calamity. The people
should show some sense, and re-
member that always it is the Re
publican party which keeps Its
pledges, which established justice
between men, and which maintains
prosperity. This is no year to go
off half-cocked. The fate of the
whole nation In a presidential con.
test may depend upon the vote of
Kansas. Voters should not shoot
in the dark. They SHOULD pick o, t
their few victims carefully, shoot
straight, keep their powder dry and
see to it that when the smoke clears
away, an undlsputed majority of the
men elected are Republicans from
one end of the ticke. to the other.

ONE OF THE DANGERS

One of the dangers of allowing
the Democratic party to tri-
umph at a National election is the
opposition of that party to the Tar
If, 1t would be disastrous to the
industries of the nation to have the
Democrats win a Presidential con
test because everybody would begin
to shorten sill to prepare for a
storm. This would make hard
times, and they would begin the day
after election, long before the Tariff
tinkerers could do any actual mis-
chief The fact that they were
going to be in power would be
enough to psralyze business fr ON

Every Farmer is Protected

probably honest in his position,
though he is putting charity to
somewhat of strain when he de-
clares "that farmer can be Re-
publican is one of the curiosities of
the political situation"
That a farmer who votes in ac-
cordance with his own so-called
class interests can be anything but
Republican would be still more cur
ious. There are lots of farmers
who are Democrats, and sincerely
so, bnt we venture the assertion
that their political creed is not based
upon careful study of their own
eAterests. They are Democrats for
yfher reasons.
1t is argued that "the prices of
nearly all the necessities he buys
are Protected at the average rate of
60 per cent, while the prices of the
commodities he produces are made
i'm competition with the world"
Those who argue that way are
not fools. But in our own opinion
they are most eggregiously mistaken.
If the farmers who are directly Pro-
tected by the Tariff against Mexican
cattle, or those who are directly
Protected against Canadian wheat,
should suddenly find the bats let
down, those farmers at least would
soon see where they are Protected.
But this is only very small degree
of the Protection which the farmer
receives,
The greatest degree of Protection
is that which ne receives indirectly.
The Trriff provides him with a mar
ket for his products at home by
putting wages into the pockets of
working men and by eaabling the
vast and varied commercial enter
prises of the country to flourish. 1t
is superficial to say that Liverpool
fixes the price of the American
farmers wheat and corn- 1t must
not be forgotten that the farmer
more than any other producer is
| the victim of the speculative mar
1et, with which the Tariff has
nothing whatever to do. But aside
from this disturbing and extrane-.
.ous influence, which is itself intI-
.mately affected by fuctaating crops,
the price which that farmer receives
for his product is determined by
supply and demand. The supply
\ may be limited by poor crops and
the demand may be increased by
prosperous times. Conversely the
supply may be abundant the de
maud small in times of commercial
depression.
AS a producer of hard times
nothing has ever been SO success
fully tried in this country as sub
stantial reduction in the Tariff. |
When the factories are idle and
commercial industries languish. the
farmer finds his most profitable and
extensive market cut off. The sever
est blow which the agricultural in |
1efests could sustain would be the
Enactment of legislation at all ap |
preaching Free-Trade.
In Protecting industries which |
furnish buyers for what the farmer
raises Protection Protects every |
farmer in the land. The farmers
real competitor is not the grower of
wheat in Canada or Siberia or Ar.
gentina, it is not the raiser of cattle
and hogs in Mexico or South Amer.
ica. 1t is the manufacturer acr oss
the sea, whose products are excluded
by Tariffs that keep American fac
torres running and furnish American
workingmen and allied consumers
with the means of buying what the
farmer has to sell.-Kansas City

RAILROAD NOTES


The survey on the south end
of the railroad line from Duran
90. Colorado to the Santa Fe is
nearly completed. and will be
all done by the last OF this
month. The line as it is now
laid out passes to the west OF
Gallup of a distance of about II
miles. From reports coming
from Colorado sources it is
learned that construction is to
start very soon and that the
line of the Arizona & Colorado
will be completed through San
Juan County and this county
just as rapidly as men and mod
ern track laying appliances can
do the work. From some
source in the east the report has
been sent out that the line
would not be built until later if
at all and that the survey was
being made at this time for
other reasons than that of fol-
lowing it with construction.
The last report is probab bly,
without foundation as the 5. 2.
has recently added many thOus
andS of acres to its holdings OF
coal lands in Southern Colorado
and Northern New Mexico and
has paid a fortune for ground,
and the need of a north and
south line from this country to
connect with the main S. P line
and its Mexican connections is
obvious.-Gallup Republican.
Eighteen separate and dis
tinct new railroad projects are
under way or projected in New
Mexico for the year 1906. affect

tory, and practically every
county, and pointing to the
greatest single year in the de-
velopment of transporta ton ia
cilities in the history of the ter
ritory. The interesting fact is
shown by the twelfth annual
construction of the Railway Ga
zette. a standard railroad publ
cation, which is carried in the
current number of that maya
zine, showing every railroad
project under way and project
ed in the United States for 1906.
The Santa Fe Railroad has
called for bids upon which to
let contracts tor the last sec
ton OF the Belen cutoff. This
is the line from Belen to Rio
Puerco, which will connect the
new line with the coast lines
south of Albuquerque, and which
will complete the new line.

t'By the way, I learned yesterday
that the CONSERVATION has been or
dered home, and 80 expect to see Jack
Lamont before many days are past. The
ship will be paid off at Portsmouth, and
then [ suppose he and 1 will have our
freedom for six months. I am rather
looking forward to Jacks cooking me
some weird but tasteful Russian dishes
when we reach his blacksmith shop in
st. Petersburg. If I get on in Russia as
I hope and expect, shall spend the rest
of my leave over in the states. l saw
very little indeed of that great country,
and am extremely anxious to see more.
When one is on duty aboard ship one
can only take very short excursions
ashore. I should like to visit Niagara.
It seems ridiculous that one should have
been all along the American coast from
Canada to New York, and never have
got far enough inland to view the great
falls
Russia is rather dilatory in her
methods, but I surely should know
within two or three weeks whether I am
going to succeed or not. If not, then
there is no use in waiting there. I
shall try to persuade the prince: to &C.
company me to America. During the
Ni VII III Nv L SCS
I shall continually impress upon him the
utter futility of life which has not
investigated the great electrical power
plant at Niagara Falls. And then he
is interested in the educational system
of the United States. While we were
going to the station early that morning
he told me that the United States edu-
cational system must be the most Won
derful in the world, because he found
that your friend, Miss Katherine Kempt
knew more about electricity, metallur~
gy, natural philosophy and great num-
Der Of other things he is interested in,
than all the ladies he has met in Eu-
rope put together. He thinks that 3
the right sort of education for girls,
and all this rather astonished me, be-
cause, althc your friend was most
charming, she said nothing during my
very short acquaintance with her to
lead me to suspect that she had re-
ceived a scientific training.
