old motto: AS your journey through
life let us live by the way.
He had seen a motto like that at
home, but today II seemed TO suggest
something more to him. II annoyed
him and he moved his chair 10 an

could not get away from the frank

were just fair TO get possession OF the
claims as he intended. Why had she
been SO interested? Why had she
looked at him SO curiously as she
arose 10 leave the table? And why
had he told her what he had come
for? Fool, he muttered under his
breath. and In fash he was the old
hard. relentless man OF dollars.

heavy-eyed girl who numbered up to
the table and asked what he would

Reports received at Topeka from
the various parts of Kansas indi-
Gated that the Bryan wave which
reached the boundaries of the state
a few weeks ago has proven to be
of mammoth proportions. A. |.
Benson, travelling man represent
ing the Equitable Life Insurance
Company of New York City, re-
turned to Topeka Saturday even
ing after week spent in the north
ern portion of the state. "They
talk of the Bryan sentiment being
confined to this part of the state"
said Mr.. Benson, "and expect the
business men of Topeka to believe
it. Let me tell you. There is no
Bryan sentiment in this city when
compared with the smaller towns
in the northern part of the state
through which | travelled for tn e
past thirty days. "Ninety per cent
of the travelling men whom l meet
on the road are Bryanites though
many of them confess that they
never thought of voting a Demo-
catic ticket before in their lives.
Nor is the sentiment all against
Judge Taft for on all sides the
talk is strong for Mr.. Botkin and
Senator Farelly, and my guess is
that the entire state ticket will re-
ceive the benefit of this So called
Bryan sentiment. The business
men are talking it and the preach
ers are preaching it, and the farm
ers are cultivating it, and it's no
wonder that the harvest promises
to be a big one. At Mankato, a
town of between one and two
thousand population, there are six
ministers and every one of them
are Bryanites''.

where Does Madison stand2

The following questions will be
propounded to Hon. E. H. Madi-
son by the chairman of the Demo
cratic Congressional Central Com
mittee:
I. Are you In favor of a bank
guaranty law?
2. If yes, which plan do you
stand ior, the one adopted by the
Democrats at their National Con-
vention, or the one adopted by the
Republicans of Kansas in their
platform?
3. Are you in favor of an in
come tax?
a. Are you in favor of law re-
curing the trial of disputes aris-
ing under state laws, in the state
courts first?
5. Are you in favor of a re,
duction of tariff rates on the neces-
sites of life?
6. Are you in favor of the re-
moval of the tariff duty from wood
pulp?
7. If you answer question No
6. in the affirmative, why did you
not join in request to the Speak
er to recall the Stevens bill from
the committee for the purpose oil
passing the same, a%law of this
kind having been requested by
President Roosevelt in his message!
8. Are you in favor of removing
the tariff duties from all trust con-
trolled goods?
g. Are you in favor of publicity
OF campaign contributions before
election?
10. Are you in favor of the
election of United States Senator
by popular vote?
II. Are you in favor of the
election of Joe Cannon for the
Speaker of the house of Represen-
tatives?
IL. If you answer question No.
II in the negative, if he be nomi-
mated at the Republican caucus,
will you then vote for him for
Speaker?

Have you read the last letters
from Bryan and Haskell to Roose-
Welt? If not, you should read them
and be convinced that the Roose-
Welt administration granted the
Oklahoma franchise to the Prairie
Oil g Gas Company for which the
President now attempts to make
Haskell responsible. The facts
are against Roosevelt in this Hask-
ell matter and they are even more
so against him in his attempt to
make the incident reflect on BRYAN.

Congressman George w. Norris
of the fifth Nebraska district, who

cause doubt his patriotism or
question his ability, but because he
uses the power of his high position
to prevent the consideration of
legislation asked for by the people
and desired by large body of the
membership OIL. the house of repre-
Sentatives. The most serious OBJ
lection, in my judgment, to his re-
election as speaker, is that he is
opposed to any change in the pres
ent rules which would take away
or modify the unreasonable and
arbitrary power now possessed by
the speaker, and he does not hest
tate to use this same arbitrary
power"

1t appears that the "worm has
turned" in Senator Foraker's case.
He comes back at Taft and Roose-
welt and charges that Taft recon-
mended a famous attorney, Judge
Doyle, who was on the Standard
Oil Co.'S salaried list, for federal
judge, and that Taft was a special
guest of other Standard Oil at
torneys during his recent tour of
Ohio. He also alleges that Taft
was recently entertained by offici
ais of the glass trust and railroad
corporations.

Preciating the existing conditions
in Kansas, made hurried flight to
Chicago last week and brought
back the news that Judge Taft will
make flight through Kansas on a

will be compelled to foot the bills,

After reading Governor Haskell's
reply to President Roosevelt one
is constrained to remark that the
governor of Oklahoma has a very
waspish sting. What else NAV
be said of Governor Haskell, his
ability to take care of himself in
the stormy sea of Oklahoma poll
tics grows more apparent all the
while. President Roosevelt him
self will fairly gasp when he reads
Governor Haskell's vigorous come
back. Mr.. Haskell has the conf
dence OF his party in Oklahoma in
a high degree, and the fight on
him from the highest persenages in
the United States gives him a dis.
junction out of proportion to his
importance in the campaign and
does not shake the confidence of
Oklahoma Democrats. The pres
ident's vigorous remarks about the
governor of Oklahoma will appear
severe everywhere except in Okla
homa, where political language is
served red-hot day and night, and
where no commonplace words are
ever used by one political gentle
man when referring to his adver-
sary. Mr.. Roosevelt must keep
out OF Oklahoma politics or add
some red-hot explosives to his vo
cabulary. In his present style he
is not a match for the governor of
Oklahoma.-Wichita Beacon, Rep.

The Kansas City Star just cam
give Bryan credit for anything.
The Star is for all the things fo1
which Bryan stands and against
the things for which Taft stands,
yet its choice is Taft. In the Kan.
sas primary campaign it was
against Senator Long, Taft's per
sonal and political friend and
for Bristow who has no standing
with Taft or the administration
and who has already given it out
that he will train with La Toilette,
if elected, whom Taft despises
above all men. Two years ago the
Star supported Col. Harris fol-
governor of Kansas on a Bryan
platform and fought Governor
Hoch on a Taft platform. The
Star favors physical valuation OF
railroads, election of senators by
popular vote, reduction of tariff
rates, publicity of campaign con-
tributions and an income tax. All
these are advocated by the Demo
cratic party and opposed by the
Republican party. And yet the
Star is for Taft, the Republican
candidate for president, and
against Bryan, the Democratic can
didate. 0, Consistency!

Unless you merely want to vote

of removing the tariff from leather,
lumber, steel and in fact all the
things that the business man and
the farmer handles every day in
his life. The Republican party
stands committed in favor of pre-

SOUND ADVICE

While we do not want to paint
the present financial stringency in
colors more glowing than necessary.
we feel that a word of warming
to those who have acted rashl :
and those who are contemplating
such action, unwittingly, should be
dropped.
Just now the coal miners are
contemplating going out on a strike
and while industrial unrest is not
marked yet there are mutterings
in some other quarters. This is an
exceedingly poor time for any man
who has employment to consider
any change, whatever. The man
who has a job had best hold onto
IL and not make demands upon his
employer for more wages or shorter
hours. You may feel that your
wages are not commensurate with
the service you are rendering. but
you had best smother that feeling
until the clouds have cleared away,
instead of chasing after the myth
cal pot of gold at the end of the
rainbow.
The song, EVERY Little BIT Add
ed to What You we Got, Makes Just
a Little Bit More, which was
few months ago so popular with
vaudeville artists and end men, was
written for a joke, but the man
who wrote those words wrote better
than he knew. The song as it is has
little in It, but the title contains a
world of good advice for the restless
man just now. We are passing
through strenuous times and the
easiest way to get through is the
best way. Hold fast to YOUR job and
make every dollar count is the pol
icy which should govern every man
who is fortunate enough to have a
job, just low.
