As the campaign for governor
draws to close it becomes more evi-
dent each day that this state Is going
to have for its next chief executive
Cyrus Leland. Of Troy.
We much mistake the temper Of the
blicans of Kansas il, in the place
Of an old soldier and a man who is
thoroughly in accord with the nation
al ticket and platform, they will
select man who ''makes his own
platform" and is out Of harmony with
Republicanism as formulated at Chi
cago. Throughout the campaign Mr..
Stubbs has advocated a lot Of Wild
eyed, semi-populistic ideas that il put
in practice would set Kansas back in
the calendar dazen years. Oh
course, he probably could not put
them into practice any more than ne
did the principles he talked so much
about in the legislature, but failed to
support when the time came.
The Republicans Of Dickinson coun-
ty are becoming more and more con-
vinced that they want gcvernor who
is Republican all the tsme and who
stands for the kind Of Republicanism
represented by Roosevelt and Taft,
and not for the Republicanism Of La
Toilette. The Republicans cannot be
too careful in selecting their candi-
date for governor.

r. L. King Of Marion, who is seek
ing the Republican nomination for
Judge Of this district. was 10 Solomon
Tuesday getting acquainted with the
people. The only argument we
heard Mr.. King advance as to why
Judge Moore should not be renOmiD-
ated was that he had already served
12 years in the office and that that
was long enough for one man in one
Office. Ordinarily this is = pretty
good argument, but not so in this
case. The people, generally speak
ing, think that the district judgeship
is one Of the positions In whieh there
should be no politics; that when they
get a man Of Judge MoOre's ability
aud iaithfulness In the Otiee be should
be retained there as long as be viii
serve them, and that Is just what they
are going 70 DO in this ease.--lsOlO-

A CARLOAD OF PAPER.
That Is the Way Abilene Buys Its
Material.

A carload Of news paper for the
printing Of the REFLECTOR and
Chronicle has just been unloaded and
stored away in the Offices warerooms.
This is the usual shipment. OF 1t the
REFLECTOR always takes two-thirds
and the Chronicle one-third. There
is mighty little choice in buying
paper. All the mills of the United
States and Canada are in big trust
and the price is fixed with little varia-
ton possible. Buying in carload lots
IS the only way in which even a
moderately low price can be obtained.

kind and facilitates the mechanical

That's the last call for the county
fair weddings. One couple from the
south part Of the county has been
secured for a public wedding at the
fair. Nov there is chance for one
more couple, preferably one from the
Dorth part. But any old part will do.
Each couple gets t25 cash and a lot Of

BANK GUARANTY SAFE

Banker Joseph acNeel of Guthrie at-
t4eks the bank guaranty law from d DIFF
feren, point Of view to mostof the oppon-
ents of that eood law that is just now
giving Mr. Taft so much concern. Mr.
McNeel makes the failure Of the Capital
National bank Of Guthrie five years ago
sor ne.miIlion dollars hypothetical case.
he says
The citation Of the failure Of the Capt
tai National bank several years ago.
serves as an Illustration Of The perncious
results that would necessarily follow The
enforcement Of the Oklahoma deposit
guaranty law According to the state
ment issued by the bank commissioner
there are in round numbers twenty mil
lion dollars Of deposits in the state banks
Of Oklahoma. Assume then that the full one
per cent required by law to- be assessed
on the deposits Of these banks had been
collected. there would have been only
100000 Ia the guaranty fund. This
Capital National failure was for one
million dollars Il then would have re-
quired an assessment on this twenty
million dollars Of 100000 to have paid
the depositors in the Capital bank failure,
We have banks with 100000 de-
posit and only $4,000 capital The one
per cent on deposits required by the Ok
lahoma guarantee law has absorbed one
tenth Of their capital The assessment 20
meet the S800,000 would take four per
cent on the deposits In state banks.or 81
900 from the bank having 100000
on deposit The state bank with 10000
capital would thus have one-half Of his
capital wiped on"
This argument is in favor Of the safety
Of the Oklahoma law rather than against
it, for the simple reason that banks don't
make their money on their capital stock,
but on the deposits The capital Of a
bank is sometimes insignificant compared
with the large deposits.
II tax of one per cent OH deposits we're
eWed against an banks carrying deposits
the problem would be solved and de-
postors made absolutely safe.

DECLINE or THE LIQUOR EVIL

There is a reform in the matter Of
alcoholic drink greater than that which
any law can enforce Indeed. laws are
but the feeble exponents Of sentiment
which has grown to be almost irresistible
during the past hundred years It is not
statutory law which will abolish the
saloon, but the unwritten law. far more
influential than all the laws ever written.
Laws Numbered in vain against the
saloon keeper but when society put the
brand Of infamy upon his business he re-
ceved a blow from which he can never re-
cover Today it's notconsidered to be good
morals or policy to sell liquor-iu short
the saloon keeper has been placed very
low on the social ladder, and the day is
coming when the man who drinks liquor
will share the same fate.
There is no place in the business world
for the man who has alcohol for a COM
panion The world is run by sober men.
The time was when the clerk and the
physician OF the lawyer could drink and
maintain himself, but none Of them can
do il now. The deep .damnaton Of the
habit will mark a man mile of. When
he tampers with the accursed stuff his
feet are on the broad path Of moral. So
cial and intellectual ruin Our life on
earth is a struggle, fierce. uneompromising.

VOTE 1T DOWN

Il is really wonderful with what tenacity
the friends Of the Billups bill are holding
on 90 the vain hope that the people will
write that legislative freak into the funda-
mental law Of Oklahoma at the coming
election The latest endeayor is that il is
a part Of the democratic policy, and that
the party is going to stand Or fall before
the people on that issue.
II is nothing Of the kind. 1t is a ques-
ton Of social economies and is outside Of
politics. II is an ineffective method Of
curbine an evil that every decent man of
all parties wants to curb. The charge that
those who oppose the Billups bin are in
league with the saloon elements beneath
the dignity Of even casual notice. Nobody
but wild-eyed extremist would make
such a charge.
The facts are, the whisky people are
satisfied with the Binups bin, because
hey can beat il in the courts. Some one
lr other Of It's vagaries have been knocked
nto smithereens in nearly every county
county in Oklahoma already during ts
,rief day Of probation, Il il won't stand
he test Of the courts. 1t is folly 10 write it
nto the state constitution.
Again, the friends Of the Billups bin
would place the poor officers who find It
impossible to enforce the measure in the
ategory Of criminals and thugs because
be country is flooded with liquor The
Nv itself sets an impossible task before
very sheriff in Oklahoma. In the few
ionths the law has been in force Il has
een.puncmred by the courts until il is as

is not true in Craig county nor in Vinita,
