 A Friend of Oak Park.
 'The people of Montgomery are over, looking one of the pleasantest ana coolest spots about the city. and cool spots are certainly in demand during these 96-in-the- days, said cit izen of the Oak Park neighborhood. One can get all the shade he wants ana any breeze there is wandering about at tiful view thrown in. Most of the day, however. the place is deserted and not until late in the evening when few people in the neighborhood take ad- vantage of the restfui wooas do any but a few nurses with their charges get any benefit As place to go ana Sit and read. and incidentally have a little tete-a-tete with nature, oak Park can't be beat"

GOOD DOCTRINE.

At the recent Democratic State Con- vention in Missouri, the following plank was adopted in their platforms
 We are distinctly and unalterably op- posed 10 the interference of corpora tions In political affairs. Corporations are the creature of the law: they ex- ist by the favor of the people, whose representatives have enacted laws un- der which they may be organized for the public convenience CT for the con- veHience of individual citizens In tho conduct of industrial enterprises. But when they become opulent and strong, and undertake to defy the law and ex- control public affalrs, they become . menace to the public safety.
 That Is timely and to the point The country is not done hearing of the im- mense corporation contributions to the Republican campaign funds in recent elections Though there were some ve- hement denials from high oficial sources. the charges would not down Tn fact. those denials were about the most unwise thing the Republican lead CTS could have resorted to, for it put the makers of the charges to the duty of proving what they had said and they did it in good style. The facts became so notorious and were so discreditabls that Congress itself was compelled to take notice of it
 When corporation gives liberally to campaign fund in does 1t in re- turn for faVors received or as bid for favors to come And when a corpora- ton gives It's money to one Party il expects to exert more or less influence over that party and to benefit by that influence. It Is in fact interfering lr politics for its own good. It would bt well if all political parties would adopt and adhere to the doctrine incorporated into the Missouri platform. It would do much to purify politics

Geneva Reaper.
 The Conner papers. such few of them as wc run across, are telling their read CTS that this is the same fight that Mir. Conner made three years ago, when he ran for President of the Railroad Commission against Mr. John " smith, We don't like to see our dear contem- : poraries deceive themselves. and stiIl less do we like to see them deceive the people, however innocently. Nor do we like to see Mir. Conner deceive the peo- pie. however innocently.
 In his encounter with and demolition by Dr. Cunningham in Selma last Thursday Mir. Conner said again that This is the same fight of three years ence @ couldn't discover any analogy in the two contests. The report doesn't say this in so many words but It was q Dallas County audience therefore an intelligent one, and no other conclu- sion Is to be assumed.
 It would be a harmless hallueination, perhaps, for MT. Conner to see rainbows where there are only dark clouds; 1t when he is liable to affliet a number of people with political strahismus in an effort to see an invisible object, as ? political eye specialist, we are called upon to straighten the vision of these Eazers, and to perform visual opera tion on Mir. Conner himself.
 Let us look Into it;
 Three years ago MT. Conner was an untried off1cial quantity. He went De- fore the people with intlammatory speech and purpose and told them Tn grandiloauent promise what he would do for them and what he would do to ths railroads if the people would make him President of the Railroad Commis- sion. They did.
 That was three years ago. an Ms ter Conner, he ain't dun nothin' yet.
 His opuonent then was MT. John ". Smith gentleman of brains and in- tegrity, but with what MT Conner has been pleased to exploit as railroad en- vironment" and he fell a victim to the frenzied hostility of a misguided sui frage. while the beAnefciary the candi- date of Great Promise, became ar'-ofn- ciai Failure

NOT THE SAME FIGHT
"An Mister Conner. He Ain't Dun Nothin'
 Yet"

Such was the fight three years ago. and such the result. And Mir. Conner says it Is now the same light over again. Is it? Let us see: Conner was running for Railroad Conimissioner then. He Is running from that office now. We agree with him that there are the same old promises and the same ola prom iser,' but the parallel stops there MT. Conner Is running for another ard high CT office It doesn't make any differ
 ence to Mir. Conner that he Is not qual- ified for either. but 1t does make some
 know it at first. and that is one reason why 1t isn't the same fight over again" Then again Mr. Conner has
 he cannot prejudice the people, as he did pr .judice them against MT. Smith.
 This is another reason why It isn't the
 same fight over again Also, pr Gun. Governor, and to the complete satisfac-

 over again In the light the people didn't know that MT. Conner wasn't "fitten." In the present. contest they
 do know it. This is another reason
 why it isn't "the same fight over again" There are other reasons, but we have mentioned enough for one sitting. We might conclude by reminding MT. Co., mer that the people can take care of themselves, and don't need him to take care of them.
 P. S. We forgot to mention just one ether reason why 1t isn't the snr1e fight over again." Three years ago there appeared nowhere In the discuss sior anything about child la. (The compositor is calling for copy and
