ANOTHER PARITY
Has Been Launched on the Sea
Of Public Opinion.
Should Have Over a Million Fol-
lowers at Beginning.
A LEADER is NAMED.
None Other Than Mordecai
Brown of Chicago Cubs.
Many Reasons Given for Substi-
tuition of Brown for Taft.

In these times the launching of a
new national party is a common
occurrence and therefore does not at
tract the attention such a proceeding
would have aroused in the days of our
fathers when Fremont launched the
G. o. p. A baseball fan is the
father of a brand new party launched
on the sea of public opinion today
and it must be said for the patentee
that he has chosen as standard
bearer most worthy exponent of the
gentle art of winning victories.
Judged by the records of attendance
at baseball games this year this new
party should have in the neighbour
hood of million and a half members
at the beginning. This is better
showing that any party organized in
cept the G.. o. P. Mordecai Brown,
the three fingered finger of the Chi
cago Cubs and winner of two cham
pionshipS and three pennants, is the
natural leader of this uprising and
the party is named the "Mordikyte"
party. The following letter to the
State Journal might be called the
platform or first official ukase of this
new party, and it is original If it is
nothing else:
To beat Bryan is going to be
difficult task:
IL OOll ID Oil d SlSdl 1c1Q6T InuSl
be brought forward A man who
does things. A man of physical as
we'll mental strength, and who
commands widespread popularity. A
man, the fame of whom has been
established and whose deeds and
doings are known by all and whose
glory has been sung throughout the
land.
Such man is Mordecai Brown of
Chicago, the best known man in
America.
Brown of Chicago, during his pub
lie career, has appeared before larger
audiences than have Taft and Bryan
combined, and his popularity is un-
questionably beyond that of either.
There is little doubt but Bryan will
run stronger in Kansas and through
out the west, at the coming election
than he will four years later. and
the writer is in much fear of this
election. In fear of the election of
Bryan, a most Objectionable candidate.
In view of this impending danger
the writer wishes to suggest that
Mordecai Brown of Chicago be sub
stituted in the place of Taft. And
that the resulting political party be
known as the "Mordikytes''-soc called
because they will not go in the air.
The advantages of this change are
unanimous support of the Republican
party Every Democrat who is a fan
would be "Mordekyte" The
legions of Hearst and of Debbs would
fall into line. Hearst and his follow
ers would be attracted by the alluring
last syllable of the name of the new
party. They would all fall in like
sheep and cast their votes for three
fingered Brown of the Chicago Cubs
All in favor of Brown please send
in their names to the State Journal
and be enrolled in the National Peer
Busters Party of Mordekytes.

Germany's Great vitality.

The records of vital statistics in the
German empire are 50 complete and
accurate that they may be taken as
authority upon the movement of the
population. According to these reports.
there were 2,0S4,739 births in 1906
and 1,174,464 deaths. The margin on
the side of life was, in round figures,
10000.
This is a remarkable surplus in a
country so old and so densely populat-
ed as Germany. 1t is probably the
largest excess of births over deaths
which is to be found in any country of
the world among a white population
of practically one race, with the single
exception of Russia.
The vital statistics of the United
States are so incomplete that 1t is i'm
possible to determine the normal ex-
cess of births over deaths, but 1t is
probably less than the German aver
population of this country is fully 26,-
100000 greater than that of Germany.
The German empire loses little of
this natural increase by emigration.
The demand for labor has been SO
strong in Germany that the gain by in
flow from other European countries
has fully offset moderate losses
through the outward movement to
America and other countries less fully
occupied and developed. Every test
shows that Germany is extremely .virile,
teeming with life and strength, and all
of the elements of progress.
Remarkable as has been their ma
terial growth, the German people
preserve their old ideals and do not
hermit industrial and commercial pro-
gress to lessen their devotion to music,
art, literature, and learning. And this
is really the finest phase of German
greatness.-Chicago Journal.

POOR GASOLINE.
A Wichita Consumer Says "A
Per Cent Is Kerosene.
Local Plant Declares 1t Not
Pure Enough for Lights.
BELOWREQUIRED TEST
The State Inspector Disagrees
i-a@ With the Statement.
Says All Sold Is Above 60 Per
Cent Standard.
BELOWREQUIREDT TEST

Wichita, Oct. 1.-THE Beacon saws:
a great deal of interest was shown
today by Wichita people in the matter
OF the poor gasoline which is being
sold in this city. Last evening the
Beacon printed story quoting Mr..
Swigert, Of the Martin Fire Works
show. who said that A per cent of
the gasoline sold in Wichita was kero-
sene.
The Martin people use gasoline for
lights and since their arrival here they
have had considerable difficulty in Sc
curing gasoline pure enough. Seventy
per cent pure gasoline is required to
make the best of light but the Martin
people were able to find none better
than SO per cent and some tested as
low as Sc per cent.
The state law requires that gasoline
sold to the public shall be at least 60
per cent pure. Inspectors are employed
to see that this standard is maintained
In speaking of the low standard of
the gasoline being sold in this city. A
G. Husey, of this city, travelling in
spector for the state. said:
1T is not possible that there has
been any gasoline sold in Wichita
which tests below 60 per cent pure
The state law requires the 60 per cent
standard and il any testing below that
figure was received in Wichita the To-
cal inspector would know about it.
Mrs. Flora Lamb, who is the To-
cal inspector. tests every car of gas
oline shipped to the branch oil houses
in the city and it is hardly possible
that any is being sold which runs
under the percentage required by law"

morning in front of the city hall. The
outfit was the result of raid made by
the police early Thursday morning.
Shortly after o'clock in the morn

long distance telephone from Perkins
and told that a wagon load of booze
was being hauled to Coffeyville. Jailer
Duckett Immediately notified Officers
Fleeman and Liggins and told them to
watch for it. They went out on East
Eighth street and waited.
Later some one phoned in and told
the officers that the wagon had just
passed the Winters place and that the
outfit consisted of a wagon loaded
with barrels and that parties were
driving a team of mules and that a
white dog was following the wagon.
About o'clock the wagon drove in
sight and the officers stepped out and
arrested the two men, Joe Roberts and
Mort Reynolds who were driving. The
outfit was driven to the city Jail and
the two men were placed in Jail. The
men were afterwards released on bond.
The county officials were notified

The ancients knew the value of
charcoal and administered it in cases
of illness, especially pertaining to the

poultices are used Tor ulcers, boils,

claim to cure many skin diseases by
covering the afflicted skin with char

SANTA F,E EXPENDITURES.
Road Spent Over 40 Millions for
Material and Supplies Last Year.

During the year ended June 80,
1908. the Santa Fe spent the enormous
sum of S41.73S, 113-17 for the pur-
chase of new material and supplies,
or over s5,0OO.OoO more than during
the previous year. OF this amount
sass, O62SS was for new rail; So
319,99S.S6 for lumber; $iZ'3 3 l, .0o.z4
for new eouipment; for fuel, $7,715,-
O40.7S; for miscellaneous expendi-
lures. s11,441, 36S.51; for stationery,
S4S2, s01s2; and the Santa Fe paid
Uncle Sam the tidy sum or $44'l z-o6
FOR nosta re stamps. 1t is a little hard
to grasp the hugeness of forty-two
millions of dollars. but 1t makes 1t a
little easier to comprehend when we
say that it means the spending OF
sooo 600 every week in the year,
$4,000 day, or about $4,000 every
hour in the day for every day in the
year. And it is predicted that the
purchases will be even greater curing
the wear to come. Great indeed is the
Santa Fe.

she questioned her. She found out
that her name is Clara Wines and that
she is employed as a domestic at Fort
Leavenworth. She has been going to
