Republican editors of Kansas, to the number of 1s7. have been sounded as to their Presidential preferences. Che hundred and fifty-nine of them, says The Dallas news "are for Taft, but we are also told that ninety mine of them think Roosevelt ought to run again. just how 99 plus 159 are to be crowd ed In 197 we can not imagine, unless it is that among the 159 counted for Taft are many with whom he is only a second choice. As the case stands now, not only in Kansas but through out the country, Taft's weakness as well as his strength can be ascribed to the Presidents popularity, and the, Presidents friends could very easily construe the party's refusal to accept Taft as signifying demand for the re- nomination of Roosevelt"

THIRD TERM TALK.
| President Likely to Be Forced to Make New Statement.
 | Washington Special to Philadelphia

Record.
 Members of the House and Senate who are drifting into Washington. arc urging that President Roosevelt be given a third term, and 1t appears that when the President gets back to Wash ington there will be a great revival Of the third term talk. This move will emanate from members of the House in districts where the third term senti- ment IS strong and from Senators rep resenting States that nave a powerful Roosevelt following. Others of Con- gress than these may find 1t polite to talk in favor of a third term whether they desire 1t or not.
 If the President is disposed to give encouragement to the third term talk as he is charged with so freely, it will probably develop this fall! If he Is set against 1t. as his friends insist, and is bent on nominating Taft. this fact will probably be made manifest.
 good many believe that the third term movement will be presented to the President before he has been in Washington any length of time in s9 serious a light that he will be impellcd to deal with it in a further statement.

No Montgomery Day TaIIs.

The sorest disappointment that I ever had" said an Alderman yesterday, came to me Monday night. in the regular Council session. Cant you guess? We'll. I'll tell you: 1t was the absence of any discussion in regard to Montgomery Day at the Jamestown Exposition.
 Naturally. I was looking for sixth discussion of the, matter. The past hve sessions have seen to it that we get Montgomery Day every Council night. This time, to allow slight Yarlation. was expecting, however, put resolution in regards to the kind of celebration we are going to have.
 All along l have fought (the ob- seryance of the day. However, now that 1t has been decided upon, I think that the best thing the Council can do Is to make preparations for the event. Certainly. l do not want another con- sideration of the matter for any other purpose. but for this purpose l equally as certainly do.
 When October 14th comes around. several Mondays from now, and Is ad- vertised throughout the South and other sections of the country as Mont gomery Day. everyone will naturally expect celebration the city ought to be proud of.
 Also. the Jamestown Exposition ot ficials ought not to be made to pay the entire expense for the occasion. The city will be getting excellent adver- Using. The credit will rebound to the city. Therefore, say l, let's decide on some features of the day and have real Montgomery Day at the great show"

SPARKS FROM
DIFFERENT ANVIlS.

Among the other reforms brought in
by the new city administration at
Spokane is a determination to punish
men that contribute to the delinquency
each this week for drinking beer with
a girl l6 years of age and in addition
thy were scorched by JudgePoindexter,
who said: "Men like you should
know better than to keep company in
a strange hotel with a girl of such
tender years as the MelleE girl. You
are old enough to have the qualities of
men, and drinking beer with a girl I'M
der age is not one of them"

The following language may seem
rank upon the face of it, still it is
a fact which is apparent and needs no
demonstration
A number of our cities are the
worst governed and the most political
ly corrupt of any municipalities of
Christendom. Whether the heather
municipal world presents anything
worse than the conduct of some affairs
of our largest cities, is question.
An appalling disaster like that of
San Francisco conveys no warning to
sodden officials stepped in crime.
Certain conditions in our cities are
a stencil to civilization; we have
reached point where people are
surprised at nothing and expect any
thing.
The administration fattens on in
iquity. DR.. Josiah Strong. in his
new book, says of the "bad citizenship
of good men, "They are too busy
to attend to politics. They sacrifice
the public good to nrivate gain, which
is precisely the Indictment we bring
against the demagogue. The former
neglect politics for their private
interests, the latter manipulate politics
for their private interests. Touching
municipal affairs, they are alike
selfish.
Those who in sentiment favor good
government are in the majority; they
are beginning to be aroused. Smaller
cities will be drought under control
before the task becomes stupendous.

institutions and choose to make this
their home.
=, In this country they are protected,
here their children are educated at
public expense, here they find en-
ployment and receive better wages
then they can in any other country
under the sun. And still they have
the gall to hiss the name of him who
stands at the head of country which
protects them, educates their children,
takes care of their blind, deaf and
dumb.
Do these people know what they
want? In view of these facts we can
only say with certain author:
''It is dirty dog which bites the
hand that feeds him."

Protests are being registered against
the new warehouse ticket with which
wheatmen have to do business. These
objections are based upon sound
reasoning. By careful persuel of
the ticket, it will be observed It is
so worded as to throttle the independ-
emit buyer. There will be an increase
of so per cent in storage charges.
Farmers must waive all claims for
loss by fire, and it is said this will
raise insurance rates 500 per cent.
The man who gets the grain must
pay for all storing, handling, resack-
ing, Irvine and other expenses.
An independent buyer could be as
sessed enough to make the business
'prohibitive. Farmers say this thing
was held back until too late to have
any independent houses erected. This
form of ticket calls for waiver of
damages, both against the railroad
and the warehouses, which, the growers
claim, shows that both of these in
terests got together in making out
the form. With the increase in prices
and the restrictions placed on trade.
the growers contend they are at the
mercy of the combination.

One of the most far reaching and
sanest decisions of which we have read
recently, was handed down by New
York Tribunal not long since. In
speaking of this decision the Tacoma
Ledger says:
An important decision in a faith
cure case was handed down Gently
by the court of general sessions in
New York city when Clarence W.
Byrne was sentenced to serve thirty
days in Jail for failure to furnish
medical attendance to his daughter 6
years of age, who died of pneumonia.
Byrne does not believe in the efficacy
of physicians but believes in the efficacy
of religious faith. In New York state
there is law making it misdemea-
nor for any person to wilfully omit,
without lawful excuse, to perform a
duty by law imposed upon him to
furnish food, clothing, shelter or
medical attendance to minor" The
question raised was whether the de-
PENDANTS religion was "lawful ex-
cuse." The court of general sessions
held that it was not, and in so holding
said in part: "To answer that ques-
tion in the affirmative by granting the
motion in arrest of judgment would
establish a precedent that might be
extremely vexatious in other direc-
tions. An individual Of some other
cult, with equal plausibility and
earnestness, could plead disbelief in
educational methods as an excuse for
not sending children to school; could
withhold food, clothing and shelter,
leaving each, as part of his religion,
to be furnished through the same or
similar agency"

Wonderful Eczema Cure.

"Our little boy had eczema for five
years." writes N. A. Adams, Henri
eta, Pa. "Two of our doctors said
the case was hopeless, his lungs being
affected. We then employed other
doctors, but no benefit resulted. By
chance we read about. Electric Bitters
bought bottle and soon noticed
improvement. We continued this
medicine until several bottles were
used, when our boy was completely
cured" Best of all blood medicine

With wheat around the 70 cent
mark and the yield rubbing 80 bushels,
the Big Bend farmer would not trade
places with Hartman. - Harrington
Citizen. Well, we should say not.
The Big Bend farmer is a man among
men and comes by his wealth honestly.
Hartman, with all his wealth and
railroad stocks, is the biggest rascal
out of Jail. The Hartman conscience
is thing very few men least of all
the Big Bend farmer, would want
