National Issues
We hereby express our allegiance
to the great principles Of government
advocated by the national democratic
party, upon which we believe the fu-
ture welfare Of this republic must
depend.
We reaffinn our allegiance to that
greatest living exponent Of democratic
principles. William Jennings Bryan,
and endorse him for our presidential
nominee in 1908.
We emphatically demand the reason
able and proper control Of transpor-
tation and transmission companies and
1.-THE supervision and control Of all en-
terprises engaged in interstate com
merce.
We favor the improvement Of the
waterways Of the Missouri valley and
the establishment ow water transpOr-
tation wherever practical throughout
the Union.
We believe that the patriotic ele-
ments Of the republican party are no
longer able to control or influence
that great political organism. We be-
llieve that the machinery Of the party
has fallen under the insidious influ-
ence Of the great plutocratic power
and organized monopolies of this ma
ton.
We denounce and condemn the ma
tional republican party for the lavish
use Of moneys belonging to the peo-
pie Of Oklahoma in the reclamation
service in other states, and pledge
! our members in our national congress
! to use their best efforts to require tn,
) clamation service to use the money be-
longing to Oklahoma in Oklahoma.
) We belive that the vast contribu
tions Of money by these special inter
) ests have given such interests sucl
power over the republican party tha
remedy for national conditions un
t der which the people suffer is impos
= sibls through that party
We appeal therefore 70 every goo,
{ city who places patriotism above
d commereialism, happiness and the vel
I fare Of the great body Of our produc
ing class above the enrichment Of tn
n few; and who believe in local self-goy
ernment, to join US in a holy crusad
: for the restoration Of the people t
Is their rights.

ROOSEVELT KNOCKED OUT.

The first knockout for President
Roosevelt has come from Mr.. Rarri-
man. There was much Boosting for d
while as to what the administration
would DO for Mr.. Hartman. lie had
sinned, and sinned greatly. Some said
we think it was the Hon. Shelby Cul-
lon, that Hartman should wear
stripes. But Hartman has not put
them on even at your uncle Shelby's
suggest ion, nor will be ever so much
as have the sheriff trouble him with
writs. He is gone forth unscathed.
indeed like Paul and Silas the prison
door has opened and he has walked
a free man. But this is not all.
Other criminals are to go free. The
soft coal roads which broke the law In
SO many places are not to be called to
account. The question of eXpediency
is entering largely into the question.
Knox, and Root, and Cortelyou have
all told the President that there might
ne uOuDO duUuI COHNlCGlHS dill bAOoC
alleged criminals, and if there should
be failure then the government
would suffer in prestige, and the entire
prosecution structure would fall to
pieces. Then too business might be
affected by such prosecutions. Would
anybody expect any other advice from
those three Jrust counsel Secretary
Taft was present, but he is in politics
up to his chin, and he will need some
money If he gets the nomination, SO
his mouth was either seWed up or he
was ready to side with Knox, Root and
Cortelyou. The President is getting
tired, the railroads are too much for
him. He will now pretend to look
after the Tobacco trust, and possibly
the Standard Oil.

RATLIFF'S CRIME AND CONVICTION.

The outrage in Pocahontas county,
w. Va, which occurred a few days
ago. when a young man named arnold
Caldwell, who, by the way, is an Au-
gusta county boy, and the 10
year old daughter of Uriah Bird, Esq,
of MarlintOn, w. Va, were going to
Virginia to be married, is one of the
most revolving that has come into the
annals of crime in recent years. Young
Caldwell and young Miss Ona Bird
were sWeethearts, their marriage was
opposed by the parents of the girl be
cause of their youth, they started to
run away and come to Virginia to be
married, they stopped at the house of
one Warwick Ratliff near Marlinton
and asked to stay all night, and asked
him to help them over into Virginia.
A man named Gay was present and
was friend of Ratliff. Shortly after
they arrived Ratliff and Gay were seen
whispering together, after that young
Caldwell was driven away and Ratliff
took blankets, put Miss Bird on
horse and told her be was going to take
her back to her father. Instead he
took her into the woods and held her
there and outraged her, keeping her
until the town sergeat of Marlinton
and the father of the girl came to
where be was. The evidence of ply
stefan and the statement of the girl
were conclusive as to Ratliff's treat
ment of her. quick trial was had
and verdict recommending mercy
which in West Virginia means confine-
ment in the penitentiary instead of
death, was soon found against Ratliff,
and he was sentenced to 20 years in the
penitentiary. The public is not salts
fed. One juror is said to have forced
the verdict. There may be no violence
to the prisoner, but the county is not
easy, as they recognize in this verdict
a failure of the complete justice they
think should be melted out for such an
unspeakable crime. 1t is hoped, how
ever, that sober cOunsels will prevail,
and that the good name of the county
may be spared, as the court made the
penalty as heavy as could be Imposed
under the verdict.

protection and exempt from arrest no
matter what he does One would think
that under the circumstances they
would be particularly careful about
not violating police ordinances. But
they are not and they have complained
bitterly to the State Department about
being stopped on the Conduit road
Now the mayor and sheriff of the lit
tie town have become incensed at the
persistent violation of the local laws
aud they say that though they can not
arrest a diplomat, that there is no law
against stopping him and warning him
about The law. This is just what the
diplomats object to. They say it is
humiliating. But Sheriff Collins says
there is nothing to distinguish an am
bassadOr or a minister from anybody
else under bear-skin coat and a pair
of goggles, so he proposes to stop every
foreign envoy and make him establish
his identity or else carry a flag or some
other distinguishing mark on his ma
chine. The whole crops diplomatique
declares it is an outrage. The State
Department says it cannot do anything
about it and up-to date it looks as
though the mayor and the sheriff had
scored.
There has been good deal of talk
about graft and rake off in the pur-
chase of supplies for the Panama Canal,
and it appears now that the whole of
buying is to be taken over by the army
which will handle practically all the
purchases for the work and the men.
The purchases of machinery and mate
rial for the work are to be made by the
chief of engineers, those of medicines
by the surgeon generals office and
those of commissary material through
the commissary generals Office. There
is one thing to be said about the new
scheme and that is that the officers in
charge of these departments are about
as nearly incompatible as human be-
ings can be and there issnot likely to
be much more talk of graft.
Accounts are being cast up at the
end of the fiscal year and 1t is found
that the expenses of the President for
travelling have been also ridiculously
small. There was an appropriation of
$25, 900 made for this purpose by the
last congress and there was some talk
about its not being large enough. The
railroads which had been furnishing
presidential special trains had been
spending money like water and going
to extravaganza lengths. The Presi-
dent likes comfort but does not care
about luxuries, and since be has been
paying his own way with government
money be has cut everything down to
very plain first class accommodations.
The result is that the total travelling
expenditure comes inside of s. 600 and
about two thirds of the appropriation
will be turned back into the Treasury.

The StauntOn Horse Show Associa-

BRYAN NOT OUR IDOL.

1t has pleased the Richmond News
Leader to inform the public that the
Hon. VIM. j, Bryan is not the idol OF
the South. If we admit that the South
never has Idols we may admit this
statement, but we will say that idol OF
no idol VIM. j. Bryan will come nearer
carrying every State south of Masons
and Dixon's line today than any other
Democrat. Now possibly the News.
Leader has an idol or two in mind.
possibly those idols have craven On
them Grover Cleveland or Alton B.
Parker, or some other sign or symbol
by which the golden calf worshippers
may know their own, and bow the knee
TO Baal. If that element of the Dem
ocratic party for one moment thinks
1t can drive the masses into another
such humiliating pen as the Parker
pen was last time, it is widely mistak-
en-, and had better give up the job be-
fore it begins the task.

LACK OP CONFIDENCE.

We are again beginning to hear the
expression of 1898, LACK of Conf
dence." From whence comes this
lack of confidence? Bryan has been
buried. Free silver is, dead. Sixteen
to one has passed into history. The
Dingley tariff bill remains unchanged.
The Captains of Industry are rs nu.
merOus as ever. The Senate and House
are safely Republican. The trusts are
more militant than ever. A Republi-
can president guides the good ship OF
state. We are told that prosperity Is
TO be found in every known spot in the
land. The Panama canal is being
built, and Taft is now able to say he
thinks Ohio will be for him in the next
election. What under these circum-
stances can cause anybody to lack con-
fdence2 The fellow who dares such
dislOyalty should be strung up.
Harry Orchard, who has been for
the last week testify1ng in the case of
the State of Idaho VS.. Haywood, Moy-
er and Pettibone, for instigating the
murder of ex-Gov. Stuenenberg, has
disclosed the most remarkable categO
ry of crimes ever shown in this coun
try. He aided in killing IS persons, is
bigamist and fire bug, and whilst
it would generally be impossible to be-
lieve such man, his story is so con-
nected and apparently true that very
few can doubt who have followed 1t. He
was in the employ of the men being
tried, and paid by them to commit
these acts of violence. They were the
heads of the Western Federation of
Miners and were removing all obstruc-
tions from their path of control, that
is killing everybody in their way.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-

imperfect hearing, and when It's entire
