General Demand
of the Well Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because it's COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Uniformed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

THE LIBRARY OPENED
Formal Exercises Of Dedication Held
Friday Evening in the Building


Great Bends public library is no
longer a thing of the future or a
dream, but glittering and benefit
cent reality. The building was for
mally opened to the public on F RI
day Afternoon for inspection, and in
the evening appropriate exercises
were held in the assembly room. EY-
erything is in readiness, cards are
being issued, and by Monday books
may be drawn.
The comments of the visitors were
such as made those interested in
securing this valuable addition to
our beautiful city feel that their
: labors were crowned with success be-
You'd their expectations. The exer-
cises in the evening were appropri-
ate to the occasion. Mr.. c l.. Mos
es. as president of the library board
presided over the meeting and gave
a review of the work done in Sc
curing the institution and equipping
It ready for use. A piano duet by
Miss Ethel English and Miss Ethel
Davis followed. On behalf of the
Getty Hon. E: w Moses responded, and
the Hon. o. W. Dawson, as presi
dent Of the Commercial Club, as
well as Prof. Shirk, superintendent
Of the city schools, also responded
Miss Irene Hooper rendered a very
pretty solo.
"The Work of 'Organizing" was the
sthame of Miss Jaggard of Emporia
and in. a brief talk she gave some in
teresting information on the sui
ject in question. Miss Jaggard ha:
been connected with the state nor
email library at Emporia and is very
proficient. in her duties. She ha:
been in the city for the past two
Q months assisting and instructing Mis-
Defghton, our librarian.
Mr.. Osmond followed in a shor
talk on reading, especially the kint
of reading one should choose, which
was very much to the point and doub'
less productive of thought on thu
part of those interested in the lib
rary.
Mr.. E. R. Moses also delivered {
very fine short talk which was vel
received.

en- quite close attention. This CON-
pleted the exercises. Preceding the
opening Of the meeting our new band
discoursed some very good music.
The institution turned over to the
public last evening is the result Of a
suggestion made in the Commercial
Club some two years ago. A commit
toe was appointed at that time, which
Immediately opened correspondence
with the result that an appropria-
,, ton of $12,5OO was made for Our city
under condition that the city raise by
taxation one-tenth of this sum each
year, for maintenance purposes. A
special election was called to act on
the mater, which almost unanimous
ly voted the necessary requirements,
and the next step was the appoint
ment of the library board, all men,
bers of which are still serving. They
are C. L. Moses, president; o. W..
Dawson, secretary; C. R. Aldrich
/ treasurer; F. v. Russell, ]. Geo.
Brinkman, VIM. Ferger, W. P. Fed
er, Mrs. Elric Cole, Mrs. R. H. Mos
es, Mrs. S. A. Newcombe, Mrs. ]. w.
Cox, Miss Florence Pool, and by law
the mayor is also member of the
board.
This board met and organized, and
at once began work. A contract for
a building was let, and although the
appropriation was not increased, the
building with its equipment cost
about $4,000, the difference having
been made up in other ways. The
ladies on the board were the book
committee. They secured donations
Of almost $4,000 for books, with tie
result that over 1000 volumes are
on the library shelves, not counting
the books formerly in the high school
library which has been merged with
his institution, and the books do
mated by individuals The leading
magazines and newspapers are on fiji
and the books on the shelves include
some of the very best reference book
to be had. The family of the late j.
w.. Brinkman installed the fireplace
in the reading room.
j The people of Great Bend are to
be congratulated on securing this lib
rary. 1t is an institution of pride,
of pleasure and of profit, and one
that every citizen is interested in
and should make point to be act
i've in. We have secured about as
much for the money expended in ev'
cry department as has been secured
. by other cities, and we start out in
fine condition.

ty. The farmers and others were
talking for Williams; sixteen to one
seemed to be the proportion. No
word of disparagement as to Will
liams was heard; he has the conf
dence of that people.
The editor in the grand stand
would say to Tom Campbell and his
friends that the Williams candidacy
is no joke and they will be foolish
to treat it as such. The people are
not satisfied with existing conditions
and many of them are persuaded
that legislation has brought distress
on the land. Unless they can be
shown differently, they are going to
smash the second term precedent; at
least, that is the situation as it pre-
sents itself to the editor in the
grand stand.

much emphasis he declared that
during the four months the legisla-
ture was in session that body passed
more good laws-more laws in the
interest of the masses-than any leg
islature ever assembled in the capt.
tol of this state, or any other state,
for that matter. He tackled the full
rendition law along toward the close
of his address and said the people
had never fully understood the pur-
pose of this law. He showed by sta
tistics how the people paid less taxes
in 1907 than in 1906, but this was
poor consolation to the man who
does not know what he will have to
pay this year.
Governor Campbell began speak
ing about O'Clock. He was intro
duced by County Attorney Mark
Smith, who presented the chief ex-
ecutive as a man who had stood or

had tried to stand by every promise
made the people two years ago.
The governor was heard by one
of the largest crowds ever assembled
in the district court room. The ma
jority of his hearers were farmers
who wanted to know what the gov
ernor would say concerning some of
the tax measures enacted by the
Thirtieth legislature Several ladies
were present. 1t was an unresponsive
crowd at first but near the close of
his speech the governor stirred up
considerable enthusiasm. The great
est volume of applause came when
he complimented a local county Off
Ger for trying to do his duty.
Governor Campbell's speech was
practically along the same lines of
his Terrell address. In beginning his
remarks he said he had stood or had
tried to stand by every promise made
the citizens of Ellis county when he
addressed them here two years ago.
He said he was nominated by the
convention at Dallas upon platform
of principles which expressed the
will of the people of this state and
they indorsed those principles in the
November election. 'If, in the dis
charge Of my duties, he said, T
ever forget the people who are trust
ing me to carry out the pledges |
made them two years ago I am no
longer entitled to their confidence. |
endorse the proposition that when a
man takes Office upon a platform of
principles and then abandons those
principles he is no longer entitled
to the confidence of the people and
should be turned from public office
forever"
Continuing, he said in years past
he had heard complaints of plat
forms being neglected and forgot
ten, but" he declared, you haven't
heard that complaint about me, have
you?" He said he had been criticised
and he had heard complaints, but
the only thing that could be brought
against him was that he had kept
faith with the people and had pre-
served the integrity of the democrat

populists.
Mr.. Williams is a member of the
Baptist church. He is a Mason He
has wife and six children, five of
the latter married He had a grand
son to graduate this year at the
State University
Mr.. Williams is not a college man;
the war interfered with his school

the two documents thus far furnish
ed to the public being his own pro-
duction. He is not as handsome as
Charley Culberson or Joe Bailey;
neither is he to be classed in looks

manner reminding this editor of the
late F. L. Carroll laodesty is a chief
characteristic; nothing of the bla-
tant; little of the ego, and yet a
man who would go to the martyrs s
stake before he would surrender a
pt3nciple.
YPossibly the second part of the in
quiry-"W What does the editor think
Of him ?''-has already been answer
ed A plain, old-fashioned American
| ditizen, democratic in his tastes and
ip his instincts, who doesn't know
anything but to do the right and
whose judgment one would seek in
a time of difficulty,-that is Bob
Williams of Black Jack Grove.
Mr. Williams did not become a
candidate through any desire for
notoriety; active self-assertion is not
the mans temperament. He says he
kept wishing and expecting that
'some one would come out against
| Campbell and his hurtful policies, >
/ and, no one else Offering, he felt i'm

Mr. Williams was a Hogg supper
ter He believes in the Hogg policies
| He would never consent to rever'
sal of the work Hogg accomplished
But he thinks there is a sharp dis
tinction between controlling corpor
ations and hampering enterprise.
Mr.. Williams believes in the ut

to the legislature the abolishment O
number of offices. He thinks we
have too much official machinery
and he says he would like to gel
back to the good old ways as Illus
trated in the gubernatorial career OF

he would be as much at home in the
Pullman coach as in the smoking
car. But he has always led the sim

ton, and it is fixed habit, just as
it was with the late Frank Lubbock.
obscurity nor prominence could
spoil him.
Emphasis was in the mans tones
when he said to this editor: IF I am
elected governor | will be absolutely
unpledged to any interest and my
one purpose will be to administer the
affairs of government along demo-
cratic lines and for the benefit of the
whole people
Mr.. Williams gives his auditor to
understand that he thinks we can
have too much government: that
government can meddle and meddle
and NEEDLE until the average citizen
is afraid to turn about lest he vio-
late some regulation.
At this point the editor asked
him about prohibition. He didn't hes
itate moment. He said that his
democratic instincts made him a
home rule man. But he thought the
liquor interests had gotten into our
politics in an offensive way and he
was willing to subscribe to state
wide prohibition to rebuke that sort
of thing. If the majority of the dem
oerats of Texas, he went on to say
favored submission, he would as gov
ernor urge on the legislature a COM

is.

/ AS to meeting the people, he did
not know of a better plan than for
those concerned to have one or more
representatives Of a community visit
him at his home, where the opinion
of his neighbors could be ascertain

for an extended tour of the state
the time is short; he has no ma

THE LIBERTY OF CHRISTIANS
Evangelist Walton Pays His Respects
to Dancers and Gard Players.

Seldom has such an impression
been made on this community as, was
made by DR.. Walton's subject on
THE Christians Liberty" or THE
Society Christian as he calls it.
AS a rule when an evangelist speaks
on such a subject it is expected that
the christian people will be consign-
ed to a place in hell if they are not
just as they should be. But the
preacher said that he realized that
people become luke warm and ne
going to try to show them what Je-
sus would have them do The texts
We're: "All things are lawful, but
all things are not expeiient' and
For the love of Christ constraineth

"A pastor is always having people
coming to him and saying, i don't
see any harm in playing cards or
drinking wine or dancing, but I
want to say that these three or four
are not catalogue of all the sins
which christians commit.
Let us ask what the real question
to be solved is in the christians lib
erty. 1t is--what are you doing to
, help men and women to Christ? You
say there Is no harm in card play
ing and you argue on the pasteboard
and the silk and the betting. That
is not where the harm lies, but it
does lie in the fact that your indul-
ging in this causes sinners to point
the finger at you and say II that Is

the church and then won't be un-

man or woman out of the church is
under more law than one in the
church because those in church are
