The Team Work.

The team work which Cover.
nor Hoch and Congressman Cur
tbs are putting up is working ad.
mirably. 1t is conceded that the
railroads are backing Curtis for
the senate and in his efforts to
boost Curtis the governor is but
making a bid to the railroads to
continue their support of himself
and their ticket. Ifever "Jethro
Bass" in Churchills "Conistou"
had control of a state, the rail
roads of Kansas. through the Re-
publican party, and Gov. Hoch,
control this state.

Evidence to the Point.

W. H. Ryan, chairman of the
Democratic state central commit
tee, got some material evidence
today that commercial travellers
in the state are lining up for Harris
and the Democratic ticket. He
received a letter from a promi-
nent travelling man, who stated
that he had always been a rock
ribbed Republican" in which vas
enlosed a check for $3.50 as a
contribution to the Democratic
campaign fund. This check
represented a collection which
was made on Sunday last am ong
the travelling men who we're stop
ping at the Hotel de Shoup in Hill
City.

As was to be expected, Mr.. Nc.

As was to be expected, Mr.. Nc
Cray has denied over his own sig
nature that he is the Kansas rep
resentative of the book trust.
But .inasmuch as there is a gen.
eral understanding, as the Star
says, that he is the agent of the
trust in Kansas. which under
standing exists even among his
political associates. there must
be something to it. The Star
further says:
1t does not strengthen the case
of MIR. McCray to call a man like
Colonel Harris a liar, and he sure
ly must know that he is grossly
mistaken when he says the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor was
the first responsible man to call
him a lobbyist o. the Book trust.
Mrs. McCray cannot possibly be
ignorant Of the fact that many
persons who are putting up at
least a pretense of loyalty to Hoch
speak of that relationship as an
understood fact. and as one of
long standing.

Nobody Hurt, Eh?

In his speech at Hope Governor
Hoch said: Il submitted the
case to the courts on the ground
that the rairload company as we'll
as the commonest tramp is en-
titled to its day in court. Ger
tainly no American citizen is un-
willing to submit his case to the
supreme court of the land. No
matter how the suit terminates,
nobody in Kansas and nobody in
Indian territory can suffer loss.
The government will make it
good"
Replying the Star said: Gould
a high minded statesman have
risen to subIimer heights9 Per-
haps the audience did not appre-
.clate the solimnity of the presen-
tation.' Anyhow. it did not ap.
plaud. Moody in the audience
would lose a cent" That was
consoling. The hghwayman who

train robber should not suffer if
he fails to get into the safe. The

custodian of public funds is not
to be censured if he-is caught be-

dissipated. Surely Brother Hoch
is departing from the preach

clared that he had passed the en-
tire matter up. to the courts"

FARMERS UNION TOOK NO ACTION
Secretary Griffin Says Organized
Body Did Not Adopt Resolu-
ton About New Capitol

State Secretary Ben l.. Griffin
of the Farmers Union, in COM
munication to the Arkansas Ga
zette, enters an emphatic denial
of the report that at regular call
ed meeting of the Farmers Union
the organization adopted resolu-
tons approving work being done
on the new capitol by the contrac-
tors.
Secretary Griffin states positive
ly that the Farmers Union took
no action whatever, as an organi-
cation, with regard to the new
capitol work.
The statement had been publish
ed that the Farmers Union was
the first organization to hold a
meeting in the new capitol, and
that it endorsed the work of the
contractors at this meeting. This
statement, Secretary Griffin de-
clares is erroneous. He states
that quite number of delegates
to the Farmers Union accepted an
invitation to visit the capitol and
witness the floor tests, but that
they did so on their own response
bility, and not by direction of vote
or resolution by the convention.
Secretary Griffin says he did not
take the trip himself, and he
knows positively a number of the
Farmers Union officials did not
and he objects most vigorously to
any statement connecting the
Farmers Union, as an organiza-
ton, with any action individuals
may have taken.

NO AGREEMENT IS REACHED
HOUSE COMMITTEE AGAIN CON.
slDERs~ SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
WITHOUT RESULT.

Washington, Dec. 15.-No decision
as to the committees attitude on ship
subsidy was reached at the caucus of
the Republican members of the house
committee on merchant marine and
fisheries held during the day. After
discussing the amended Gallinger bill
the Republicans took no action, but
decided to call meeting OF the com.
mittee for JAM z, when a vote of the
entire committee will be taken on the
measure,
The amendments to the bill, draft
ed by Representative Grosvenor, elm
mate cargo subsidy entirely and limit
the governments aid to mail carry
ing ships to South America and the
Orient. Even with these changes the
members of the committee from the
Middle West do not favor the meas
ure.
Later in the day it was stated that
President Roosevelt will send to con.
gress a special message advocating
the passage of a ship subsidy measure
at the present session. It was said
that the president had declared that
the recommendation in his annual
message was misunderstood. In that
message he said that if it were found
inexpedient to pass the senate bill a
measure should be passed to provide
for few lines to South American
ports. He did not mean to minimize
the Importance of other features of the
bill, it is said, and now purposes to
correct any false impression that may
have been gained by the house.

LlFEsAvERs RESCUE CREW.
Austrian Steamer Ashore or the New
Jersey Coast.

Austrian Steamer Ashore OF the New
Jersey Coast.
New York, Dec. 15.-While bound
from Trieste, Austria, by the way Of
Bermuda, to New York, the Austrian
freight steamer Clara went ashore
near the Mantoloking lifesaving sta
ton at the head of Barnegat bay, on
the Jersey coast. The action of the
sea quickly threw the Clara broadside
to the beach, where she lay easily In
the sand. The Mantoloking lifesavers
went to the rescue Of the crew of the
stranded craft. A line was shot over
the ship and breaches buoy hauled
off all on board the Clara. The cap
tain of the Clara came ashore in the
buoy and sent word to New York for
assistance and in response a wrecking
tug was dispatched from this city to
pull the steamer or the beach.
The Clara has a cargo consisting
principally Of dried fruits, hides, iron
ore and. ESQ tons of birthstone. The
value of the vessel and her cargo is
between 100000 and 100000.

FRENCH CABINET DECIDES ON
NEW MEANS TO ENFORCE
CHURCH LAWS.
IMMEDIATE coNflscA1Ion PROPOSED
STEPS TO BE TAKEN BY GOVERN
MENT OF A MOST SWEEPING
CHARACTER.

Paris, Dec. 15.-The cabinet met
during the day with President Fail
Heres In the chair in order to decide
upon the new legislation to be pre-
sented to parliament. The steps to be
taken are Of very sweeping charac-
ter. It is proposed to amend the law
of 1905 providing for the separation Of
church and state, but on which a years
grace was allowed before the per-
manent alienation Of the church prop
erty. and to suppress the privilege of
forming new cultural or diocesan as
sociations during that period, and all
church property, including the sem
inaries, will be Immediately handed
over to the state, to the departments
and to the communes under conditions
inslring that the churches themselves
will be retained for religious uses.
The continuance Of public worship will
be provided for under a combination
of the laws of 1881 and 1901. With
regard to the pensions and allow
ances of the clergy distinctions will
be made by which those who are en-
titled to the former will lose their
rights if they are deprived of their
French citizenship, while those who
are entitled to the latter will lose
their allowances if they do not con-
form with the law. The conditions
under which the clergy will forfeit
their French citizenship will be drawn
up in special measure to be pre-
pared later.
Look beneath the surface. Let not
the quality of a thing nor it's worth es-
cape thee.-Marcus Aurelius.

DOUBTED BY The PEOPLE
CAREFULLY PREPARED BULLE.
.' TIN OF KING OSCARS CON-
DlTlON ISSUED.

Stockholm, Dec. liking Oscars
condition shows considerable improve
ment. Towards noon the following
guarded official bulletin was issued:
King Oscar passed quiet night.
He slept six hours, only. coughed a
little and his temperature in the morn
ing was 1909. His pulse is still irreg-
ular, but there is no increase of phlegm
: in, the lungs, The patients general
condition is fairly satisfactory" y
The official bulletin had the effect of
reassuring the people, but the hope
fulness it contained was somewhat
shaken. when it leaked out in the
course of the afternoon that camphor
and digitalis had been freely used in
the treatment of the patient The
impression is gaining ground that the
kings condition is much more serious
than represented by the bulletin.
Crown Prince Gustaf arrived here
during the day from Berlin and as
sumed the regency, which he will hold
during his fathers illness.

Pittsburo Chamber Of Commerce Asks
Courts TO Act.

Pittsburg, Dec 15.-After much dis
cussion, in which some members were
horror stricken by the freedom of the
debate, the Pittsburg chamber of COM
merce passed a resolution calling on
judges OF county courts to suppress
all facts and details of immoral cases

news. This action is the direct result
Of the Hartje divorce case.
Every line of testimony given at
