PLANSTOSIDETRACK
BRYANARE WELLLAID
Men Who Were Behind the Parker Move
ment in 1904 Favor Chandler as Head of
Democratic Ticket

Ing things for him, They say fur
Their, that the south will break from
Bryan and so to the New York man.
In proof of it, they point to interviews
cropping out lately from southern pol
tticians on the democratic side. indi-
eating that Chanler is being favorably
considered. Representative John
Weley Gaines of Tennessee lately
came out for Chanler and SO did Rep
resentative Broussard of Louisiana.
Their announcements are said to be
symptomatic of much wider Chan
Ter feeling in the south.
Chanler agents have been in Indi.
ana and Illinois and have come back
asserting that when the time came
these two states would be wrested
from Bryan. 1t Is also asserted that
Heart, with his Independence league,
is working against Bryan and that in
the end the Heart influence will be
favorable to Chanler.
Other statements the Chanler men
make are: that the Chanler nov.
ment Is strong from the extent of the
anti-Bryan feeling in the democratic
ranks, regardless Of Chanler's merits
as candidate; that powerful local
New York Influences are for Chanler;
that bankers and business men, who
are tired Of Roosevelt and do not
want Bryan, would welcome the nom
ination Of any reasonable man who
would not be under the influence Of
the one OF the other; that for the
democrats to win, New York state
should be carried and that Chanler
can carry it; that Taft will probably
be the republican nominee and that
Chanler can beat him at the polls IN
New York, the solid south and enough
other states to win the election; that
Hughes is the man chiefly to be feared
and that for this reason certain
Hughes republicans are pushing on
the Chanler movement, hoping 1t will
force the republicans to name Hughes.
Whatever may be thought of the as
sertions Of the Chanler lieutenants, it
is becoming apparent that it is the
most determined and powerful effort
yet made by conservatives looking to
control the 1908 democratic nominal
ton. Money and influence are back
ing it and it will be worth while
watching. j. G. Welliver.

Washington. Sept. Politicians
here who are concerned in the promo
ton Of the movement to nominate
Lieutenant Governor Lewis Stuyve-
SAINT Chanler Of New York for presi-
dent on the democratic ticket profess
to believe that plans to sidetrack VIII
liams ]. Bryan have been so well laid
they are not likely to miscarry. II
their assertions are true, startling
progress has been made on the road
toward the elimination Of Mr.. Bryan.
While the friends of Mr.. Bryan take
the ground that the claims Of the
Chanler boomers are much exagger-
ated, it is admitted on all hands that
these claims are interesting.
This is what the Chanler men are
saying and they add, moreover, that
they have been quietly at work for
months and have not begun talking
without what they believe is war
rant for talking.
In the first place. it is admitted the
Chanler movement has been inaugur-
ated for the purpose of preventing Mr..
Bryan from heading the ticket. The
same men who engineered the Parker
movement in 1904 are behind the
Chanler movement, but this year they
profess to have re-enforcements. They
also consider they have to deal with
a better politician and a better vote
getter in Chanler than they had In
Parker in the last presidential cam
paign. Conservative New York demo-
Gratis, with the aid of anti-Bryan
southern democrats, are engaged in
trying to accomplish the Chanler NOM
inatton. The plan they are following
is to urge the necessity of business
mans campaign. They are setting
forth the idea that conditions are
such in business and financial way
that the business men Of the country
must take hand in things and not
leave 1t to the politicians to decide
who Is to go into the White House.
Shrewd politicians have been set to
work in many states to foster this
movement and Chanler lieutenants as.
sert that strong organizations are be-
Ing worked UP.
That Chanler will get the New York
delegation to the democratic national
convention is asserted to be without
question by the men who are engineer

THE NEW TAX LAWS.

Referring to the revenue bills
passed at the special session Gov.
Campbell on Saturday, in part,
said;
The new law relative to rendi-
ton and assessment of taxable
property becomes effective on
Aug. y, 1907, and. therefore, all
ad valorem taxation for the yeaI
1907 must be under the old law,
with the exception of the rate of
taxation. which if the increase in
the taxable values and the re
ceipts from other sources Justify
a reduction, then such rate is re,
quired to be reduced.
The new laws. with the excep-
ton of the intangible tax law,
which is in effect now. will first
begin to operate in the year 1908.
The increase in the assessed val
uationS which will result from
the enforcement of the law can
not now be accurately estimated,
but it is a certainty that its en-
fOrcement will result in greater
equality and uniformity in taxa
ton as required by the ConStitu-
ton and in equalizing and more
equitably distributing the bur
dens of government upon the tax
payers and in proportion to the
value Of taxable property owned.
This is as it should be and is
just what The News has contend
ed for all along as the right thing
to do.
We now. all of us, have fair no.
tice that beginning January first
1905, all taxable property must
be rendered to the assessor at
its reasonable cash market val
ue." This is about the only fair
way Of getting equal tax values
throughout the State and every
good citizen will cheerfully re
spond to .it-those who are not
should be made to.

The Panhandle's Canyon City
readers are pleased with the fair
ness of this paper, regarding the
close game of baseball played be-
tween the teams of the sister
cities. The Panhandle knows
that Canyon has a first class
team and believes in merit being
given where it is deserved,
whether it is TO the home team
or visitors. The report of the
games in the Panhandle in fut-
ure, shall be fair to outsiders as
well as to the home teams, so far
as the paper is able to give them,
or there will be no report but
the score. There should be no
i'll feeling between cities like Can
yon and Amarillo, because of
baseball or anything else. There
is room and work for both. in this
great Panhandle, and we should
cultivate a spirit of friendliness,
instead of pickering. Baseball
is a pleasant game TO watch,
when it is carried on in friendly
and gentlemanly spirit. Both

teams and let credit be given

SUNDAY DISSERTATION.

In the rage now prevalent after
lucre the Christian Sabbath-the
Lords which Gods people
in all ages have been commanded
to keep holy and as a day of rest
from all manner of labor is being
more and more placed in the
back ground Not far back in
our history Sunday, a day that
was, in accord with divine au-
thority, set apart for spiritual
and physical refreshment is now
in too many places being turned
into little better, if no worse than
a gala occasion in which figure
railway excursions, baseball and
other secular attractions.
In the great cities there may
be some excuse for Sunday eX-
cursions to country scenes at
least, but outside of them
even this may properly be called
a desecration of the day, and
when sports are the attraction
all men are included in the desc
Grafton and the offense against
the laws of God is complete.
Laying aside Gods law, Sun
day dissertation. wherever prac-
ticed, has a decided tendency to
lower the moral tone of any com
munity and for that reason, if
for no other, it should be under
the ban of all right thinking peo-
pie In this connection The
News is proud to note the fact
that in a meeting of the Canyon
City Baseball Club, held at the
courthouse Saturday, it was
unanimously voted mot to en-
gage in any games on Sunday.
The News is far from being a
Puritan, but it does believe in
honoring the Christian Sabbath
and in keeping it free from desc
Grafton. Permit such, give it the
countenance of our enlightened
public opinion. and Americans
will soon be numbered among
the nations that Forget God. "
