Charles Curtis, congressman for the
First district and William j. Fitz-
gerald, candidate for lieutenant gov
erIlor on the Republican ticket, have
answered the square deal" questions
IN letters to James A, Troutnans chair
man Of the Kansas Republican league.
Mr.. Curtis writes as follows:
Dear Slr.-I have your letter Of
September 18th in which you ask me
10 write you a letter covering the in-
1erViews I have given to the newspa-
pers on the primary, taxation and rail-
road questions.
Il am IN favor of a direct primary
and believe I was the first candidate to
suggest this plan in the congressional
campaign in the state. If a direct pri-
should be SO worded as to protect the
interests Of the various sections of the
state, such an act in my judgment
would result in much good.
i voted for the provision Of the
Hepburn bill to do away with the is
suance Of passes by railroad COM
panles, except to certain classes men,
toned therein and think it would be
wise for the state legislature to follow
the good example set by congress so
that national and state legislation will
supplement each other
Il believe in the enactment and en-
forcement Of such laws as will guaran-
tee to the people fair, just and reason
able passenger and freight rates.
Each class Of property should pay
its fair share of the taxes which must
be collected to maintain our govern
ment.'
Mr.. Fitzgerald's letter follows:
Dear Sir: In answer to your re-
cent letter transmitting questions, I
hand yau copy of the platform

ton held in Dodge City. Kansas, Au-
gust Is, 1906.
This platform covers the main
questions. defines my position, and was

have been my customers and neighbors

Respectfully yours,

where fetal Eclipses Are Rare.

1t is q fact we'll known to astrOn-
Omers that the average number OF total
and partial eclipses in any one year is
four; that the maximum is seven and
the minimum two. Where only two
occur they are always both of the sun.
ThereNare great many more eclipses
of the sun in the course of a year or
hundred years than there are of the
moon. This fact Notwithstanding.
however, London, the metropolis Of the

OAK AND PINE.
The Value and Usefulness OF These
Classes of Woods.


The Value and Usefulness OF These
Classes of Woods.
Though generally assumed that oak
is the wood capable of being put to the
greatest variety of uses, it is known, as
a matter of fact, that the pine is really
the most used, on account of its great
abundance Nevertheless. the timber Of
the oak combines in itself the essential
elements of strength and durability,
hardness and elasticity in a degree
which no other tree can boast, unriyal-
ed as q material Of shipbuilding, also
superior in architecture, cabinetmak-
ing, carving, mill work, coOperage and
innumerable other purposes, while the
bark is of great value as furnishing
tan and yielding bitter extract in con-
tinual demand for medicinal purposes.
