Another Victory.

The ball game last Friday between
the Great Bend High School team,
and the Lyons team, resulted in
a score of 16 to 0 in favor OF the
home boys. Although there has been
only two games so far this season,
the chances are favorable that the
games in the future will be as vic
torious as these two. When the
members of the team will brave such
risks as breaking ribs, spraining an
kles, etc., it looks as if they were
made of the right sort Of "stuff."
The boys are not only champion
ball players, but they are also royal
entertainers. At the close the
game Friday evneing, the Lyons
boys were entertained by the pupils
of the high school.
The rooms and halls were decorated
with both the Great Bend colors and
also the Lyons. Penants were hung
artistically about the rooms. Punch
and waters were served throughout
the evening, at the close Of which
an interesting program was given by
the students. The Lyons team, al
though defeated, went home In an
entirely different mood, than at the
close Of the game.

About Bank Guarantee

If tAe people of the state of Kan
sas want bank guaranty law, they
vii nave to elect a Democratic leg
slatMe and governor. Why? be-
-..se the Democratic party Of Kan
sas through its Platform, is pledged
u enact d coMpd.soiy guarantee law.
re Republicans Will tell you that
t4ey are too, bat are they? Their
),ltforln calls for legislation which will
permit the banks TO MUTUALLY ana
iOLJNTARILY guarantee deposits.
fh.S platform, according to the Kan
is City Journal, is a joke. The joke
IS that it binds no bank. 1t compeS
40 bank. 1t provides no law at all.
There is no reason under existing law
why they cant mutually and voluntar-
.ly guarantee deposits. The plank
was so framed by the Republicans as
70 make it appear they favored a
guarantee law, but at the same time
they were not committing themselves
and so could not be held responsible.
And it is a fact that at the same
time they are trying to thus pull the
wool over the eyes of the voters, their
candidate for president, and their ma
tional campaign speakers, are argu'
ing against this kind of law. The
whole matter in a nut shell is II
you want law guaranteeing bank de
posits, you must vote for Democrat
&c legislature. The other fellows are
not pledged to the proposition. That
means to vote for Ross for Senator,
and FEEDER for representative.

Men, except insofar as relates to
their honesty and ability to accom-
plish something, are all but small
things in the great political campaign
The man who is thoroughly honest ami
capable, and who stands for the
things in which you believe, is the
man who should receive your sup
port for office. Especially is this
true of candidates for legislative or
congressional honors. The man who
represents your viewsIif he is straight
is the man entitled to your support,
regardless of personal popularity in
other lines, or personal friendship.

Trying TO Hold Negro Vote.

Action taken by the negro clergy
men. of the country to swing the
colored vote into the democratic
column has evidently gotten the ad-
ministrative heads Of the government
TO thinking what it means. The
result is that several negroes hold
ing responsible positions in the SER
vice, especially in Washington,
have been promoted higher to posi-
tons during the past few days.
These negroes who have received
promotions cut quite a figure polit-
ically in their respective states.
Several are from Mr.. Taft's own
state. The republicans have become
alarmed. II can easily be seen
that the move of the colored brethren,
especially in the state of Ohio.
where the solid vote cast tor the
democrats would mean the state
would be lost for Taft.
