Stand-Pat Program

Yet again the Speaker has dominated.
The recent Oyster Bay conference decld-
ed on a straight program In this fall g
campaign. II came a few days before the
Iowa convention, and il is weIl known
that the remarkable platform adopted
by the Cummins people at Des MOines.
IN which the Cummins attitude on tarifr

Oyster Bay The Iowans did not feel
justified, when they already had . bad
factional fight on their hands. ia getting
too far away from the national party
noorings. So tariff reform got a double
haCkset, and has practically gone out OF
business for this year.

Republican party's attitude toward or

The manifest and growing domination
OF Speaker Cannon in the practical pol
itics Of the Republican party IS giving
concern to many of his party tssociates.
II Is watched with deep IN crest by
Democrats. The Speaker IS today with

an even greater influence with MI.
Roosevelt than commonly understood Is
lately entertained.
The Speaker and the President a-'e or
entirely different types. They have
really nothing IN common. The Speaker
is the last man IN public lie whom the
President would be expected to cXalt o

What sort of a game is the
Hoch gang playing, anyway? In
some parts of the state it is given
out that Hoch, if elected, is go
ing to be very liberal in the way
of letting the joints run, while
in other parts of the state it is
given out that if elected he will
close every joint. In Cherokee
county a few weeks ago it was
all arranged for the jointists to
vote for him, but now there is an
emissary going around telling
the dear people that if Hoch is
reelected that he will close every
one of the one hundred and fifty
joints in Cherokee county. What
is what, anyway? Mr.. Hoch has
not closed the joints of Cherokee
county and he has been governor
for some time. Why is it neces-
sary, now, for his campaign man
ayers to send a messenger around
to this part of the bailiwick max
ing promises that he will put the
jointists opt of business if he is
reelected? A prominent Repub-
lican politician told us the other
day that he believes Hoch is lay
ing a trap for the jointists in
some parts of the state-in those
parts of the state where the
jointists are lined up for him.
We confess that We can not nm
derstand the double dealing that

After January first we look for
a two-cent fare on the western
roads and very nearly a discon-
tinuance of excursion rates. We
sort O. imagine the people have
not been paying more than two
cents a mile for several years, on
account of low rate excursions
some of which have been run
ming almost all the time, but
they haven't thought OF that.
The cheap rates the people have
had the tenefit of for many years
in the way of excursions, have,
we believe, cut the rate to at
least two cents. 1t is our idea
that the railroads will make more
money on an established two-cent
rate than they have been making.
And then what will the dear agi-
tator have to yelp about9 Fact
of the matter is, he has been
helping the railroad companies,
but perhaps he didn't know it.

If w. A. Harris is elected gov
ernor of this state he is going to
ask the Legislature to pass reso-
luton resubmitting the prohibit
ory question. He is going to try
and give the people a chance to
say whether or not they want a
continuance of the present damn
able law, or whether they will
throw off the yoke of fanaticism
and be free again. Mr.. Harris is
not prohibitionist, but he is in
favor of enforcement of all laws.
He is not fanatic, either, and
believes in the will of the major
ity. In other words he realizes
that the people who are living in
Kansas are not the people who
fastened the iniquitous law on US,
and if he can give us a chance to
say whether or not we want a
continuance of the darn thing he
is going to do it.

Sam King received some bruises
when he went to Arkansas, but
probably no more than he should
have received. He was helping
unhitch a team, and was stand
ing in front of the horses, taking
down the neck yoke, when the
horses became frightened at
something and ran away, going
over his PROSTATE body. He was
bruised on the right thigh, and a
hole was cut in his left leg, just
above the ankle. One of the
horses feet struck him on the
side of the head, but aside from
running a 4Oc stiff hat did not do
much damage. A man who will
go to Arkansas and stand in front
of a broncho team must expect
trouble.

Oh. Sparks called us up by
phone on Monday of this week,
and told us that we could not
make it too plain that if elected
as representative from this dis
trict he would do all in his power
TO have a resubmission resolution
passed by the Legislature. Ol.
Sparks has lived along the east
line of Kansas, next to Missouri,
for a great many years, and he
has seen Missouri wax fat off OF
Kansas. He has become disgust
ed with the workings of the pro-
hibitory law, as all good citizens
have, and he intends to do every.
thing in his power to have the
blamed law wiped off of the slate.
The law has never been enforced
in this part of the state, and if it
is rigidly enforced Missouri gets
the benefit of its enforcement.
The good roads of Jasper county,
Mo-, and her good schools are
mostly paid for by the prohibi-
tion of Kansas. Mr.. Sparks would
be satisfied with prohibition if it
was a national affair, but he is
very much opposed to one COM
munity waxing fat off of the darn
foolishness of another. Vote for
OF. Sparks and give him chance
to make an effort for resubmis-
sion.

Grant Cain, one of the most
notorious characters of Galena,
died at the home of a relative in
that city last Saturday. Cain
was a man who was always in
some sort of trouble. We have
kept track of him because We had
him sent to the penitentiary sew
eral years ago for robbing us.
The editor of this paper, with
his children and some of the
neighbor children, went down to
the river one evening to swim
and have time with the kids.
When the editor came out of the
water to dress he found only a
straw hat and a pair of shoes.
Everything else was gone. About
a year ago Grant Cain and a fell
low named Shutley were arrested
on a warrant charging them with
grand larceny. Both of them
were convicted, and sentenced to
the penitentiary. After they had
served their time they came back
to Galena. Shutley never did
any good afterward, and Cain
has been into trouble ever since.
The wounds he received in a
shooting scrape about six weeks
ago resulted in his death last
Saturday. We are not very par
ticular as to where he has gone,
above or below, because we re-
member that the wind was very
chilly after we came out of the
water and found no dry clothes
to put on.

neat, blue flannel sailor suit and O

Mr.. Muth said the Child was none
the worse for his experience. In
strong contrast was the appearance of
the abduot0r. After a slice pless night
10 his cell he was haggard and wan.
His eyes shifted %nervously and his
whole frame trembled vlsihly. He
still seemed to fear bodily injury and
