For Representative

Up to this time the republicans Of Bar
Der county have had the race for repre-
sentative all to themselves but this week
the democrats have taken hand in the
game themselves. Two candidates are
having petitions circulated in their behalf.
They are w. c. Afford Of Hazelton and
F. l.. Gordon Of Lake City. While the
contest between these two men does not
promise to be as spirited as the Gesner-
Griffin fight in the republican party, their
friends are nevertheless active. There is,
however. no feeling between the two
men. Each consented to make the race
without knowing the intention of the other.
MIR: Gordon has had an ambition for
several years to serve the county in the
legislature and believes this an opportune
time to make the race.
Mr. Afford has been rather pushed in
to it by the people of Kiowa, Hazelton
and several in this city. For the past
month they have been working on him
but he did not fully give his consent until
Saturday. MIR. Afford is not at all anx-
ious for the job. He will not get out and
make fight for the nomination, but if
the party nominates him he will make
vigorous campaign for the election.
here has been some little sentiment
at Isabel in favor Of Ed Boots for this Of
hce but we have nothing definite con-
cerning his candidacy.
There is one beautiful thing about the
primary law. Every man in every party
has an equal voice with every other man
In the matter Of nominations and there is
no room for fault-6nding after the can
didates are chosen. The Index believes
in the fullest and freest expression at the
primary and to that end would urge that
every democrat go to the polls and ex-
press himself.

Atheism and Monkeyism

1t seems that the monkey can't keep
still is their nature so to speak. He is
now trying to deny the assertions made a
few days since in the Cresset concerning
the spring poets which. if you notice, he
so often quotes in very grammatical style.
| wish to say frankly and without
malice or hatred toward any human crea-
ture, that he has my sincere respect and
profound sympathy when he tries to tell
me that he has discovered a more ex-
cellent rule Of life or a better hope in
death than the scriptures suggest.
1t may be, as the gentleman stated,
that am only member Of the chart
class but bear In mind | can speak and
write my name and have been taught to
speak it publicly. He says the Door
monkeys won't publish their names be-
cause we might have more ground to
make them the source Of public jocularity.
My friend, if this question is to be de-
cided by argument let us not fall out ov-
er the great differences Of opinion; If your
belief is as it seems to imply, that man is
only a creature Of circumstance, that the
weak have no guardian and the injured
no avenger, that life must perish at death,
that an oath is unheard in heaven, that
there is no recompense for uprishtness
and public good, if this is. Isay,your idea
OF the future awaiting you, | feel that it
would not be policy for you to publish
your name or even annoy the editor by
wiring anything more about your mon
key ancestors.
Cast your eyes heavenward just once,
kind friend, and see if It signifies any
thing mere than the end Of mortality.
How true, when you say that the mon
keys have no material to work on. Whyp
Because everything material is Gods
work. If | am mistaken in your belief |
beg pardon, but if not, | ask no pardon
tor there is none due me.
The evil days are on the wing when
thou shall say thou hast no pleasure in
them" and as thy steps advance, the
valley Of the shadow of death open"
through which thou must pass at last. 1t
is then thou shall know what it is to
Remember thy Creator in the days Of
thy youth"
What sin 1t be to deny your God
In the presence of mortal strain;
He can not. it is written In the book of life,
To the highest ever attain.

The visit Of Captain Titus to this CITY
is said to have been for double pur-
pose. Since going TO Wichita he ha.
mixed considerably with politicians high
up IN the party councils and it is modest
ly eaimating his standing when we say
that he is regarded as one Of the shrewd-
est IN the old Seventh and Eighth dis-
trid.. Recognizing his political acumen.
the Leland machine requested him to
come to Barber county and quiet the
Stubbs sentiment that seems to have de-
veloped with the Griffin boom, and the
Captain very readily consented, feeling.
as he does, that his home county should
not desert its old traditions. The Cap
tain's visit has had the effect to make the
lineup shape itself in this manner: Crit
FIN, Stubs and Bristow VS. Gesner, Le-
land and Long. True, Mr. Griffin stIl
contends that he IS running on a pro-
Long platform but the machine will not
have It 50 and Captain Titus's visit has
had the effect to make the alignment.
Whatever else may be said Of the ex-
poamaster, he is plain spoken and no
COMPROMISED and he takes the broad
ground that no republican can be for
Long and against Gesner or Leland and
the slogan IS now IN the ar. "a vote for
Griffin IS vote against Long"

In A Dangerous Condition

Geo. Muller, son Of Mrs. M. A. Muller,
is In very dangerous condition as a result
OF severe attack Of appendicitis and the
prospects for his recovery are very poor.
For the past several years George has
been dong two mems work. He has
been working with H. T. Woodward
& Son when most needed, in the day
time. was night operator at the telephone
Office and also caught time to do school
work. The effect was more than he could
Withstand. though he complained Iitsle.
On Friday evening Of last week, how
ever. he was seized with severe pains
in the abdomen and DR.. Donovan was
called. George was relieved temporari-
ly and worked all day Saturday but that
night he became worse than the night
before. DR.. Donovan was again called
and upon more thorough examination
found the trouble to be appendicitis. He
advised a surgical operation and recon-
mended that the patient be taken to
Wichita Sunday morning. Georges
mother could not make up her mind to
have him taken away until after Sunday
mornings train had left and it then be-
came apparent that to wait until the next
train went out would be too late for re-
lief. 1t was decided that the onlv
chance to save life was an immediate sur
sical operation. and Dr.. A. D. Upde-
graft Of Anthony was summoned, who
with Dr.. Donovan and DR.. Gilbert per-
formed the operation Sunday afternoon.
Conditions were found to be as bad as
could exist and the patient still live.
The appendix was badly ruptured and
pus had formed. The operation itself
was successful and the affected parts
thoroughly cleansed but on account Of the
advanced stages Of inflammation the chanc-
estor recovery are doubtful. Yesterday the
patient was reported to be resting rea-
sonably well and the outlook was little
more encouraging.

On the subscription $50 citizens are
represented which includes those residing
at distance who were formerly Barber
county citizens and friends Of the late
sheriff who contributed.
This is a fine showing when it is re-
menbered that no person was permitted
to contribute more than S. and il was
voluntary. No soliciting whatever was
done-the friends Of the martyred sheriff
made these contributions on their own
motion and Of their own free will. There
are many who would liked to have con-
tributed more had there been no limit
liked, and many who did not contribute
would have done so had they been So
licited.
The committee decided to purchase a
bronze tablet about 30x40. Itis to con-
tain bust Of Mr. McCracken with a
suitable inscription and inserted in the
court house corridor between the two
doors Of the county clerks Office.
Chairman Best has consented to place
the order. 1t will require 90 or 90 days
to have the work completed and when il
is done it is the purpose to have an un-
yelling ceremony. Judge P. B. Gillett
will probably be invited to make the ad-
dress.

sponded In his usual pleasing manner.
Punch and cake were served as re-
freshments. and all were abundantly re-
freshed. The rooms in the school build
ing were nicely festooned and provided
with rugs and furniture to make things
comfortable and enjoyable and the invit-
ed guests departed singing the praises Of
the Barber County High School.
Thus ends the most important school
term ever held in Medicine Lodges his
tory. Seven Of Barber county's young
people, standing now on the threshold Of
manhood and womanhood, may enter
the State University or any other accred-
tied college without further examination,
or if they so will. may enter upon lfe's
commercial or professional responsibilities.
They are equipped with an excellent
High School education and are entirely
worthy Of the confidence and esteem Of
the people who know them.
To the corps Of teachers who have
made the school terms of this and former
years such great success, the unquali-
fed thanks Of the public are due. Most
of them have already consented to re-
turn to the same duties next fall, three
finding it impossible to do so.
There are no professional people who
deserve more praise and public gratitude
than the instructors in the public schools
who prove themselves worthy and Super
intendent Major and those who have la
bored under him are certainly in the
worthy class.
