The feature of Tuesday nights
meeting of the State Temperance
Union at the First Baptist church
was the address of welcome by Gov
ernor Hoch and the speech of c. w.
Trickett. of Kansas City. Kas. At
torney Trickett spoke at length on
the closing of the joints in Kansas
City. Kan. describing in detail the
process taken. and dwelling on the
results OF closing the joints from .
financial. business. moral and social
standpoint. Mr.. Trickett read let
ters from six or seven of the leading
bankers of his city, in which the
statement was made that their depos-
its had increased from 30 per cent :a
20 per cent in the seven months since
the joints were closed there. and that
business OF all kinds had increased in
proportion.-Kansas City Exchange.

rates the statement that the absence
of the saloon helps business.

WASHINGTON INTERESTED
ELECTIONS TOMORROW, EsPE.
CiAlLY IN NEW YORK, ARE
WATCHED BY PRESIDENT.
Ardmoreite Special.

Washington, Nov. 4.--Washington
officials, from President Roosevelt
down. are now manifesting a
lively interest in tomorrows elections
and the result in many places will be
looked upon as straws showing the
direction of the political wind. Par
ticular interest attaches to the judi.
cial aud legislative contest in New
York state. the municipal election
in Cleveland and the gubernatorial
race in New Jersey. In all of these
struggles for political supremacy the
popularity of President Roosevelt en-.
ters as factor, and II the result
should be largely against the repub-
lican candidates, II will undoubtedly
be considered, in the anti. Roosevelt
camps, as an evidence of the waning
OF the Roosevelt principles and pol.
icies.
Six states, two In the south, two
in the east and two in New Eng
land. will elect governors tomorrow
At the present time four of these
states-Kentucky. Mississippi, Mary
land and Rhode Island-have demo
cratic governors, and two-Massachu.
sets and New Jersey-have republi.
can chief executives. Mississippi has
already selected its governor. who is,
of course. a democrat, d the elec.
ton will be mere formality. Ken
lucky is also conceded to the demo.
cratic column. although the republi-
cans of the Blue Grass state have
made a determined fight for their
candidate.

WHAT COULD BE DONE WITT
ASPHALT

Asphalt is found chiefly in the Ar.
buckle mountains in the Chickasaw
nation In the state of Oklahoma,
Also 1t has been discovered all the
way from lawton and Fort Sill to
the Arkansas line. In the Arbuckle
mountains the asphalt is found along
the fault lines which are fissures ex-
tending from the surface to the cen
ter OF the earth. At some unknown
depth these fissures have come In
contact with beds of petroleum.
and this has forced its way upward
along the fault and has impregnated
the rocks on either side; sometimes
to distance of fifty feet. These So
called asphalt veins are. many OF
them, fifty feet wide. several miles
long aid no one knows how deep.
certainly several thousand feet. When
Il is remembered that there are
perhaps hundreds and thousands OF
these veins already discovered II
will be understood that the amount
OF asphalt is inexhaustible.
In its vast deposits OF asphalt
lies one OF the greatest sources OF
profit to the new state. There is
enough asphalt in the new state to
improve every county road, to pave

REEVES OLD CASE.
Wichita Bankers are Suing for Ok

Guthrie. Okla. Nov. 3.-School
district warrants which were dis
posed Of by Rufus X. Connella, now
serving ten years in the penitenti
airy after conviction on charge OF
forgery in connection with other
manipulations of the sort, are in
volved In the case Of Van Arsdale
& Osborne Of Wichita, Kan, VS.
Olustee School District NO. 35, OF
Greer county, just appealed to the
supreme court. The Wichita firm
held ten warrants for $500 each
secured from Connella. which with
the interest amounted to s5.S05

amount. but were given only 81,

taxable valuation OF the district al
the time of the issuance of the
warrants. and now appeal.
Connella was president of -four

--tTO
The last of the striking telegraph
operators I'm Chicago-the mere
men"-who are returning to their
old places this week did not leave
union headquarters before their sis
ter operators had told them what
they thought of their behavior dur.
ing the strike "The conduct of you
men make me sick and disgusted
with men in general" said one of
the girls. you loaf around here all
day playing cards and expect the
union to support you when you
should be doing some honest work
The girl strikers have made efforts
to secure other employment, but you
men talk of cold feet and about
sticking and all that sort of stun
instead Of looking for work. You
ought to be ashamed OF yourselves -
This gentle exhortatlon precipitated
a discussion on the changes wrought
by the last three months, in which
the only note OF consolation was hte
fact that the telegraph companies
have suffered as well as the oper.
ators. Much of the business that was
regularly handled by telegraph was
taken over by the telephone compa-
MES during the early days of the
strike. When this happened many
business houses discovered for the
first time the development OF the
long distance telephone facilities The
result has been a permanent increase
in the volume of telephone traf.
fic, particularly on the Bell lines
and union operators say that It will
be long day before the Western
Union and Postal companies will
get back on anywhere near the same
basis as before the strike.

OF INTEREST TO NEWSPAPER
PUBLISHERS.


4 new bill somewhat in the inter.
est OF newspaper publishers will be
introduced into the house of rep
resentatives on almost the first day
Of the session. 1t may be presented
by the democratic leader, John
Sharp Williams, or by the member
from the Omaha district. Gilbert y.

per publisher, or possibly by Ollie
James Of Kentucky. At any rate
these three men will form the fight.
ing phalanx or the flying wedge be.
hind the bill Probably It won't be
passed. Possibly It may not get out
OF committee. But there will be
some work done In its behalf and
some speeches made that will make
the republican section OF the press
OF this country sit up and pay at
tention.
The measure will call for the i'm
mediate repeal of the duty on wood
pulp used in the manufacture Of
print paper. 1t will also demand a
reduction of the duty on manufac.
tured paper. possibly even TO the
point of merely five or eight per
cent ad valorem duty. This measure
will be Of the utmost importance
to newspaper owners. But in the
end IL will be OF more Importance
to the country at large. And for
this reason IL is the wedge that
can be used to destroy the whole
lniquItous system OF an exaggerated
tarin. There are men who believe
In absolute free trade. Others In
n tariff for revenue only, others
who think that the tariff should
merely be high enough to compen-
safe for the difference between Amer
can and foreign wages. Practically
all tariff revisionists can be num-

ginning at the lowest step, the tar
IN revisionists. and the democratic
party would do better to accept for
the moment the endeavor to limit the
tariff to the difference between the
cost OF labor in the United States
and that in Germany or in Eng
land. The tariff as It now stands
Is In many cases fixed at rate
far above twice the price OF our
domestic product. In other words the
tariff Is one hundred per cent. The
labor cost In this country amounts
to not more than forty per cent
OF the price of the finished prod.
uce. And SO the proposition likely
to be presented to Che next congress
| that the tariff should be reduced
to at least one hundred per cent
seems reasonable. Such a measure
will be introduced promptly on the
assembling OF congress and will be
made the standard about which the
democratic members will rally.
Following this the wood pulp and
paer schedule will be taken up.
How republican newspapers that
have already supported tariff revi'
sion on those items can oppose 1t on
others is n matter which their ed
itors must determine for themselves
