Have the Trusts" got the Hartford
Republican with down hill pulp
Every thinking man knows that the
present high tariff is the father of
and fosterer of the trusts" Presi-
dent Roosevelt says there should be a
revision of the tariff Secretary of
War Taft, who is a full-fledged can
didate for the Republican nomination
for President, also says there should
be revision of the traiff and the fol-
lowing is what the Republican says:
This country will experience a
panic within less than a year, If
this tariff smashing campaign is
kept up in both parties. If the
Republicans nominate for Presi-
dent tariff revisionist, the panic
will come at once, and in the un-
rest which will follow, the coun-
try may turn blindly to the Dem
ocratic candidate, whoever he may
be. Let the tariff alone. Sup
port no man for President who
has the "tinkering" fever.

UNUSUAL WEATHER.
All Records For High Temperature
I'm March Broken.

Not content with smashing all
rainfall records, 1907 is following up
a course of record-breaking to the
utter dlsmay of the weather bureau
and some discomfort to the public.
The weather man finds it hard to
look "a hours anead much less pre-
dict the general trend of the sea-
son, for purely summer weather Is
now being felt In month that ordi-
narily has high winds and consider
able cold weather. Spring has been
skipped entirely, just as winter was
given the go-by. With a maximum
yesterday of SS degrees,
and a minimum of ca, everything
was present for an ideal summer day
but spring clothes. The clothing
stores report sharp pickup in the
sale of summer underwear. The ice
companies are working at nearly
summer capacity To-day breezes re-
lieved the heat somewhat but active
exercise is unpleasantly hot.

McCracken county and western
Kentucky comprise the only section
of the state that has taken any step
to promote immigration, and the
state board should contribute as lib
orally as the appropriation permits
to the work out here. The plan con-
templates no effort, as 1t has been
made to appear, to bring cheap labor
here; but to attract here German
farmers with sufficient money to pur-
chase a few acres of land. These
farmers are used to intense farming,
living as they do in a densely popu-
lated country, where every foot of
land is reckoned, and they would
soon double the commercial value of
farm property in this section and
multiply the wealth. of the commun-

Oklahoma, the newest and presum-
ably most up to date, of our commons
wealths. has a provision in her con-
stitution, preventing succession in
state Offices. In other words. our free
citizenry has got the idea some
where, somehow, that the best in
terests Of the public are subserved
by changing our officers as often as
possible. Politicians and the public
are agreed on this, but for the very
opposite of reasons. At a time when
the Federalists were fearful of mob
rule, and the Republicans, or Dem
ocrats, we're suspecting the Federal
lists. with Washington at their head,
of contemplating monarchy, there
was an unwritten rule adopted about
the termination of Office. This feel
ing of uneasiness was accentuated by
the jealosuy of states. This senti-
ment has come down to us, although
1t has lost it's meaning, and the peo-
pie favor quick changes in office. To
the politician, on the other hand, the
idea appeals, as a good method of
giving all chance at the public
trough. AS a matter of fact, public
service would be greatly benefited by
keeping good men in Office. We have
been too forward in providing ex-
cellent means of getting rid of bad
officials with dispatch. If. when a
man got in Office, he remained long
err. we might pay more attention to
selecting the best men in the first
place.
