No Need OF Suffering from rheumatism.
1t is n mistake to allow anyone to
suffer from rheumatism, as the pain
can always be relieved, and in most
cases cure effected by applying
Chamberlain's Liniment. The re-
lief from pain which it affords is
alone worth many times It's cost. 1t
makes sleep and rest possible.
Even In cases of long standing this
IMMINENT should be used on account
OF the relief which 1t affords. DO not
be discouraged until you have given

talks a good deal about the brother

brother or is he not? Is he = citi-

franchise every black citizen in

Enforcement Of Law

The violation of any law, be 1t
ever SO trivial, chsapens the idea OF
respec, of law, not only in the mind
of the violater but in the minds OF
all those who are cognizant OF the
fact of the violation.
The violation of law leads to an
archv. For many years Kansas
men have seemed to ahink there
was 10 particular vrong in violat'
lug the prohibitory law. For years
one of the great political parties of
the state, bisnnially resolved against
it. The party has become more
enlightened aad now stands com
mi,ted to its enforcement.
A few years ago you would meet
sc.res of ma on the street openly
opposing prohibition and abusing
these who favsr Now, il man
OPPOSES the law, he usually says,
hut little. about it. Sentiment in
favor Of the enforcement of all law
rapidly growing in Kansas. AS in
everything else Kansas has been a
leader IN this cause and soont the state
that does not enforce prohlbltory
laws will be considered a back UNI
Der. Not long till the govern nent
at Washington will take hand IN
the suppression of this great evil.
Formerly aa anti prohibltionls'
would argue that there was more
liouor sold ia Kansas under pro-
hibitieu than under the saloon
reign.
Now the brewers have abandoned
the state and are only making
fight in the states where Prohibitory
laws dc not exist. Still we wink at
law violations rightbefore our eyes.
We 20 ahead, and elect CITY, ce1rty
and legislative officers, who ii not
( yiolators Of the law themselves,
+ wink at the violation and violate
their official oaths by making no
effort to do Gheir duty towards sup
preston.
Prshibitioaists have been termed
craHkE, aGventureres, agitators,
double dealers and generally IN
sincere. We sometimes are temp
ted To believe the accuscrs are more
than half right when we see the
utter failure Of those who talk pro-
hlbiti0A to dc their duty.
We contiEue to elect men to pub
lie position where they have much
to do with the enforcement OF the
law, whom we know are violators
and viii not attempt to enforce laws
that do not appeal to their ideas OF
personal liberty. There is a great
awakening over the land to the evils
of intemPerance and there never
was a better time than now to get to
work.

BRISTOW AND
STUBBS

1t has pleased number of gentle
mea who prefer to laugh first, rather
than to laugh last, to refer to the
mutual interests which naturally ally
the candidacy Of Stubbs for Cover
nor and that Of Bristow for the
Senate, as the "holy" alliance.
The phrase has its humorous as
peets. II is funny, and the man
who invented the phrase had a fun
ny bone. Bat on the other hand,
good laugh doesn't make votes, and
Ithe fact remains that in spite OF a II
that each may say, the tie that binds
their interests together is more than
any tie that holds men together in
pelitics, and it ia inevitable that
these tws men, each running tor
different Offices, should fad thom-
selves linked together in the minds
of the people, and that therefore
the phrasemakers should hit off the
natural bond between Bristow and
Stubbs in some apt manner. For
theirs is the natural political affiR-
ity of two men fighting ia the cause
of political righteousness. Sfubbs
and Brstow stand for the new
movement IN net merely Kansas
politics, but national politics. 1t is
the movement that Roosevelt started
that Taft is maintaining, aad thatmen
like the members ofthe Kansas lodge,
SenSts Chester l. Long, have in
yssiably, even il secretly, opposed.
1t is nat factlonal. There is more
difference, for Instance, betwe en-
Stubbs and Long than there is be-
tween Long and Bale Waggener, Of
the Bourbon Democracy. Long
and the Bourbon Democracy are
allied across party lines. Stubbs
and Bristow are allied, within Il
Republican party.
These two msR stand for the pro-
gressivc movement in Kansas poll
tics. They have together fought
yainst every trap. dodge, trick and
subterfuge that Long and his ma
chine in Kansas have put forth to
prevent the progression of the Re-
publican party in Kansas. It is
natural that now that they arc can
didateS for the two most important
offices IN Kansas, the saRC shoulder
to- shoulder fight should Be kept up.
Tae only hope the Kansas machine
and it's Democratic Bourbon allies
has is ia the disaAection between
Stubbs and Bristow, and that hope
will fail them. =,
Kansas is going TO fight hers e.
free from machine dsmination and
free FROM Bale Waggener Demo
cracy and IN that fight, the same
Gne self-sacrihcing nature which has
made Stubbs the idol of the pro-
gressive Republicans of Kansas will
keep him from giving any attention
or credence to the sneers and jibes
of the machine. They may talk of
the holy alliances. But talk is
cheap, it is votes that count, and
Stubbs and Bristow, each standing
for the same principles. each fight
ing for the same cause, will fight it
out on this line if it takes all sum

Bryan and the Democracy

Whatever YOU may think OF M,
Bryan and his theories you must ad-
nit that he is very reasonable man
Prior to the tire tha he made his
celebrated "Crown of Thorns auu
Cross of Gold" speech, which cap
tured the Democratic convention at
Chicago in 1906, few beop'e had
ever heard Of him outside of his own
state. Hs had small law Practic1
and haa never been accused of being
great lawyer. He hae served one
term in congress and had probably
attracted more attention than the
average member does during his
first term, but he was not well
known man. Before the campaign
was over he was known by reputa-
ton to every citizen in the republic,
and by sight to millions of them.
He was whipped. His hobby of
10 TO I was diScredited and 90 party
today Would tnink for moment
Of putting it into platform. But
while his hobby was destroyed,
Bryan seemed to lose none of his
prestige or popularity with his pa.
He was renomiusted in 1900 and
whipped good deal worse thsa
before. II certainly did look as #
he was down and out that time.
Eastern Democrats who had oppos-
ed him bitterly in two campaigns
were certain that they had him lick
to fare you-well and that he meyer
would cut any figure in the Demo
cratic party again, bat even IN 1904
no WIS strong enough to whip aeon,
ventIon that was in the hands of
his enemies and might even have
dictated the name of the nominee.
The leaders who were in control of
the campaiN Of 1904 accused Bryan
Of not being loyal to the ticket and
made some threats of what they
would do to him. But just the same
he has kept growing stronger with
the masFes of the party and today /
ooks as II he would be nominated
at Denver by nccls nation.
There is ne use to say In view Of
this recnrd of IL years that Bryan
is talker and nothing more. If he
were not leader and a man of a.
b lity he certainly could not keep
his hold by meer talk. There Isl no
sort Ct question about his beng a
talker. He has a mast charming
presence and voice of wonderful
sweetness and power. He states
his case with wonderful adrsitness
S that even the .hesrer who is oppos-
cd to him is under the charm of his
elcquence while he listens. Still
We nave heard several speakers who
hal as good voices as Bryan and
whese vocabulary was better than
his. John Atwood, in our opinion,
IS a more iloqueAt speaker than
Bryan. Webster Davis, when he
go' in full swing had Bryan skinned |
a block, but neither Webster nor
John ever were oven able to lead |
the Democratic hosts. Only two
m in American history, so far as
we know, have been able to retain |
like tho hold on their re-
spective parties in spite of defeats
that Bryan retains on his party |

The rich criminals know this. We
have positive information that they
have banded together AID created
a fund for the purpose of driving
the prosecution out of existence. At
present their attention is devoted

In order to accomplish their ends
they have resorted to dynamite,

tstant shadowing of myself by hired
thugs who are well known ex-con-

An attempt to assassinate Jas. l.
Gallagher, former supervisor, was
made last April when the house
occupied by him and his family was
wrecked by dynamite. A second
outrage occurred only a few days
ago, when more of mis- property was
destroyed by the same means. Gal
lagher is one of the most important
witnesses against Ruef and the
wealthy men under indictment.
The desperate characters who
have been shadowing me have
openly declared that they propose
to embarrass me in my investiga-

the marriage he left her and she
did not meet him again for six

went to live with her mother in

drunk. Then he took to beating
her.
Suddenly he disappeared again
and wrote her that he lad Joined
