This is fish story but it is no lie.
Last Saturday Bert Gregg and Willis
Shipman betook themselves up TO Deer
Lake and cast anchor for still fishing and
also did some trolling. they never fail to
land fish if there is any within 80 rods Of
their hook as Bert has faculty of
attracting them TO his bait.
A big pickerel which weighed thirteen
and one half pounds nibbed at it and got
hooked. Shlpman being stouter than Bert
helped him land it. They got three or
four more just common pickerel weighing
perhaps eight or nine pounds piece and
came home, the big one was on display in

TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to have every
Republican in close touch, and work
ing in harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor of the election Of Republican
Congress.
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record of the party, and,
that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work Of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
tions of One Dollar each from Repub-
licans. To each subscriber we will
send the Republican National Cam
paign Text Book and all documents
issued by the Committee.
Help us achieve a great victory.

The greatest fraud p%erpetrated
upon the people by the last congress
was the meat inspection bill. What
good the inspectors stamp will do
without a date on 1t is hard to
imagine. The total result must
eventually be the further concentra-
ton Of the packing and butchering
industries in the great cities. Small
concerns will not justify the cost OF
inspection. BY and by everything
will have to 90 to the great cities as
raw material and come back as
finished product. By and by the
cities will threaten liberty as the
robber Knights once did. Legislation
affecting manufacture and transporta-
tiOn is always to be viewed with
suspicion by country people.

By al means the State Committee
ought to assign a liberal share OF
work for Governor Folk in the com.
ing campaign. There are macy
reasons for such a course. 1t has
been the practice Of governors in the
past to serve the party that has non.
ored them, especially at intermediate
elections, by making speeches for the
party ticket. The party has given
the governor the strongest and most
specific endorsement Of his public
policies in its state platform. So far
the administration has manifested a
preference in the nomination of a
state ticket this preference has been
respected. Up to this time in his
brief public life Mr.. Folk has been
heard by the people chiefly when he
was speaking in his own interest. 1t
is due to the interests Of his politl.
cal future that the states reorganization
give him the widest opportunity tc
prove his capacity for party service,
There are many quarters Of the state
where his efforts for the party ticket
would be effective He is In sympa.
thy With the platform; he wrote
most of the paragraphs that relate tc
state issues, He is in sympathy with
the candidates; one OF them is az
appointee CT his and TWO Of them
were ON the ticket with him when he
was elected governor contributing
whatever they had of personal
strength 10 his election. This is not
merely a party opportunity but II is o
personal opportunity for Dir. Folk
The state committee ought TO give
the governor a large assignment OF
dates aud invite him cordially to
take Q hand In the rough and tumble.

A special from Jefferson City is
receiving wide publicity in the press
Of the state to the effect that a
movement Is on by the democrats Of
the state in favor OF the selection Of
senators by a direct vote Of the
people. The special says that
Governor Folk is in favor of the
movement and that be is going to
press forward a general primary law
at the next session Of tine legislature.
Since both parties have declared for a
general primary law there appears to
be no particular information in this
special. However the legislature
cannot prescribe the method Of
electing a senator. The vote Of the
people at a primary would doubtless
be held by most representatives as
binding instructions. This plan has
been practiced in many counties
hitherto. Most Of the counties in
the state voted on Stone and Wallace
at the November election, 1902.

Senator Warner and Congressman
Ellis are assuring their constituents
that they are not stand patters aud
that no doubt a revision Of the tariff
will be effected by its friends at the
very next session Of congress, Now
if congress did not have time to con-
slider this subject at its long session,
what is the probability Of its finding
time at the short session? And If
President Roosevelt who undertook
tos inaugurate a tariff revision cam
paign in 1902 has succeeded in getting
out OF hearing distance of the subject
in four years how long will it take
Warner and Ellis to complete the
circuit and get back to where the
president once was?

The "ludenendent" Paper.

Kansas City Journal.
According to the ordinary signl6-
oance q terms, the independent news.
paper is ole that has no party ties; it
fearlessly approves the right and con-
demns The wrong, regardless Of political
considerations and special interests.
AS a matter Of fact, the "independentr
paper, as We find it hereabout, is one
which puts in a large part of its time
trying TO keep its independence on
straight. 1t wobbles from side to side
striving to marntaiU a balance. II it
mdorses one polilicsl party in a state
or county, it must condemn that party
in some other state or county as an
Offset. Too much endorsement of one
party, although that party Is clearly in
the right, must be carefully avoided,
otherwise the newspapers and politi.
clans OF the opposite party will be
denouncing the independent paper as
a party organ.
There is an example here in Kansas
City. A proiessedly independent paper
has been giving warm support to
President Roosevelt. To prevent
being called a Republican organ 1t
supports a Democratic governor in
Missouri and is trying t, elect a
Democratic governor in Kansas.
When Cleveland was president it
supported him, but was careful not to
indorse any Democratic governors or
candidates for governor in state-
mentioned. The balance must be
maintained. Probably not all so.callsd
independent journals have as much
trouble in preserving their reputation
for independence, but they all feel
the importance of either keeping on
top OF the fence or climbing over it,
back and forth at frequent intervals.
The so called independent paper
usually DEGREES party loyalty. The
more traitors there are in a party the
more influence and power such a paper
has. "VOte, note for the party, but
for the country" they urge, although
the best craftsmanship has decided
that political parties are necessary to
the country's welfare.
