Rspubllcan-PBSs Comes Again,

The entrance of ]. r. Hales, of
Rich Hill, into the race for the
Republican nomination for CON
gress in this district is a fortu-
nate one, in that it brings the is
sue squarely to the front as TO
whether Postmaster Wix of But
Ter, Postmaster Parish, of Ad-
rian, and ex- Postmaster J. X.
Martin, of Rich Hill, shall con-
troll the appointments in this
county and district. The post
masters mentioned, we believe,
are the chief promoters of Mr..
Hales' candidacy, in opposition
u Mr.. AtkesUn. The issue is.
Shall these postmasters domi-
nate the Republican politics in
this county and district, regard
less of the wishes of the great
majority Of the Republican vot-
s?-Republican-Pre
We admit that Mr.. Funk's
plan Of defeating Mr.. Hales
sounds like he meant to succeed
but there is an under-current of
malice and while reading the ar
ticle we can also see the howl
worked in between the lines.
There is another article that
could be written between the
lines of the above article that
we believe should be brought
out. Now read again the RIP.
article and then the following as
what we read between the lines.
The entrance of J. r.. Hales, of

gress in this district is n fortu.

sue squarely 10 the front as to
whether the Republican Press
shall control the naming and
nominating OF candidates 10 this
county and district. The best
way we (the Republican. Press)
can see TO show Mr.. Hales where
hc belongs is 10 accuse him OF
being in a ring or gang, since our
ring has failed. The issue is.

lation Of the Rep article.
IL the Republican Press had
the interests Of the party az
heart half so much az he would
make il appear, he would treat
all candidates in such a manner
that he can support the nominee
without being the laughing stock
of the Democratic press. We
think the RIP should be made
to understand this, as the oppo
sition will be sure to use il.
To substantiate what we say:
on April 6 Mr.. Hales announce
ment was sent to the Republican
papers Of the district and one
was sent to Mr.. Funk. Three
issues OF the Republican Press
have appeared since that time,
and nothing has been said about
il.
Again Mr.. Funk has been cry.
ing gang, ring, etc, with
every editorial breath for some
time, and in other ways trying
to turn the tide as he desires.
Give all a square deal, Bro.
Funk and you will be more re
spected by both Republicans and
Democrats, and after the pri-
mary you will be in a position TO
do your party some good.

TALKS OF COURTESY.

If we we're mistaken in regard
10 Mr.. Hales' petition being first
on our streets, which was cor
rected ia oar issue of last week,
we were not mistaken in stating
that Mr.. Atkeson would not cir
culate his petition in Mr.. Hales'
home city, Rich Hill This is a
courtesy generally extended each
other by opposing candidates for
the same office. Secretary Taft
did not permit his buomers>tO
enter any state which had a ia.
vorite son who was a possible
candidate for the presidency,
and the great mass of Republi-
can voters endorse the acl.-But-
Ter Record.
The above statement, like a
number OF others seems 10 have
been made rather hastily While
the Tribune was printing the
Hales' petitions and before any
OF them were circulated, the ru.
NOR reached US that one Of the
Atkeson petitions was in town.
Brother Austin is probably not
aware of this, or he would not
have mentioned courtesy. We
think courtesy is something that
should work both ways, or not
be mentioned.
The Rich Hill tribune. (Rich Hill, Mo.) 1903-1911, 1908-04-30

We have no stones to throw at
Hon. w. o. Atkeson in his race
for the Republican nomination
for Congress. We have always
known him to be a gentleman
and expect to treat him as such.
Any announcements from Mr..
Atkeson or any other candidate
will receive due mention in the
Tribune

ledge that time will cure us of
the fault. The RIP is getting
childish in its statements and we
doubt if time will help the editor

is very permanent.

Speaking of the expense of a cam
paign under the primary election law
few people have the faintest concep-
ton Of the expenditure in money which
such campaign will make necessary.
A group Of politicians, some of whom
already hld experience in the cost Of a
primary election, were discussing the
subject recently and all concurred in
the opinion thai. the primary campaign
for the United States senatorship,
under present conditions, would involve
an outlay Of at least SIS. 900. This was
the lowest estimate made. Others ran
from $40, 900 TO $780, 900 and one or two
thought Il might go to $4,000 if
attempt was made to put on any frills,
But for just the legitimate and abso-
lntely necessary expenses of the ean-
paign, all agreed SIS. 600 would hardly
cover these. That too, when an effort
was made to run an economical carr.
paign. In the first place. il was pointed
out, every candidate would feel it
necessary to see that candidates we're
nominated in the various republican as
sembly and senatorial districts who
would be favorable TO him when the
legislature met. While the primary
law provides that the senator shall be
nominated at the same time as the
state ticket is nominated. the fact is
never lost sight Of that the legislature
has the power of naming th9 senator.
which power can not be taken from Il.
Ii it was said. the legislature, or a ma
jority thereof, should not like the
nominee the members could proceed
and elect who ever they saw fit.
Therefore the campaign involves.
among other things, close watch ON all
republican districts by all the candi-
dates. II follows that assistance will
have to be furnished such candidates
for Legislative honors as senatorial can
didates think would be right" when
elected. This though large is small
part Of the expenditures. Headquart-
ers with the force which will have to
be employed for months, printing bills,
travelling expenses, etc, will run mp the
expense account until the low estimate
made looks extremely conservative.

FIGHTING BOATS AT GOLDEN GATE.
viroqua Boy Tells Of Impressive Arrival
al San Francisco.

DEAR MOTHER: We are here at last
and everybody is glad for this is what
we have looked forward to ever since
our departure from Hampton Roads
last December. We have travelled
about 16, 900 miles since we left. Last
night we left Monterey at 800 o'clock
and crrived at the San Francisco light
ship at about $50. We anchored there
last night and left this forenoon at
Ii 90 for the last leg of our long voy-
age through the Golden Gate" 1t
was indeed grand spectacle as the
sixteen grimy vessels of war swung
into line and started out at ten knot
clip for the eighteen mile run through
the Golden Gate" TO our anchorage in
San Francisco Bay. We we're joined
last night by the bsftieships Nebraska
and the good old Wisconsin, which made
US eighteen first class battleships in all.
just as the flag ship Connecticut pushed
her nose through the passage, the heavy
guns at the fort began to fire their
salute to Fighting Bob. The hills
around were literally black with peo-
pie anxious to behold the grand sight
of the entrance of the big Sixteen"
into San Francisco Bay. There are
four lines of ships anchored in. the bay,
and we are in the third line from the
beach. The Union lronworks. where
the Ohio was built, is plainly discernible
across the bay. She was launched in
1901. The Wisconsin was also built
there. The whole of the next week
will be given over to our entertainment
and everybody looks forward to the
time of their lives. We have great
parade tomorrow in San Francisco and
another IN Oakland, Saturday. That is
fun for the people, but not much for
the men who participate in it.
Your loving son.

FIRE LOSSES IN AMERICA.

The Wall Street Journal calls at
tention to the fact that it is high time
something is done 10 put an end to the
tremendous waste by fire which is the
rule in this country. II maintains that
rs per cent of the loss is preventable.
The point is made that we shCLdd give
some attention to the prevention Of
fires as well as to the conservation of
our natural resources. We are paying
attention TO waste in our forests, our
mines, our arid and swamp areas, and
our waterways, but are carelessly per-
hitting the destruction Of the buildings
We have erected. Waste is waste in
whatever form we find It and should be
treated accordingly.
The fire losses in the United States
during the three years ending with
December 81. 1907. were $3.50, 600, 600.
The loses during the opening months
of this year, not including that caused
by the Chelsea fire, indicated a total Of
OF more than 5000, 900, 900 for the pre-
sent year. The fire LOSSES in this
country are all out of proportion to
those in England or Germany
1t would seem chat we should wake
up and deal with the problem of fire
losses as we are with other examples
of waste. There Is mistaken notion,
too prevalent in this country, that the
insurance money makes good the fire
loss. 1t may to the individual whose
house is burned, but the fire is none the
less waste. The insurance company
does not find the cash it pays out to
householder. The money all comes
from the owners Of other buildings who
are contributing annually to make up
the losses occasioned by our reckless
methods. II we want lower insurance
rate We should have fewer fires.

TOOK UP BOYS: poN.TLooK DOWN,

To the bright, plucky. earnest hoy
poverty is no hindranee. Indeed when
we see how the sons of rich men go TO
the devil we believe poverty is bless
ing. Most of the rich men of today,
who are cursed by such children. started
as poor boys. They had to work. had
To educate themselves, had to stand up
like good fighters and take blows and
keep cheerful, Hence poverty was a
blessing, Ebert Hubbard in his Phil
istine says this:
Decide on what you want to do, and
what you want TO be and go after IT,
You II win and when you are forty,
these fellows who chase the genus
chlppee, manipulate the pasteboards,
inhale cigarette smoke and cram for
exams, will be coming to you for advice,
To borrow money, 10 have them operate
on them for appendicitis and for passes
10 the poor house. Get eight hours
sleep every day, work, smile, study,
and health, happiness and success await
you. Ask Cortelyou.
Now that is splendid advice. There
is a world of truth in il. II applies to
the farm boy who is. we hope. going to
be farmer just as well as to the town
boy. Whatever you are going to be,
Look up! Make up your mind to be
among the best. Whatever you are
doing, if il is only for week or a
month, study il hard Don't let any
man be deceived in you. Consider the
trust that your employer puts in you
the sacredest thing on earth. II is the
poor boy that wins earth and heaven. l.
