FICTION AND FACT.

Dreams Of Authors That Have Been
! Turned Into Realities.
The deliver among old books often
finds says the Berlin ,Umschau. prophe-
eies made by writer's which In their
day were nothing but romance, ,ap This
can be SO easily observed by reading.
the works of Jules. Verne, and there
are also books in which airships, the
telephone, photography and the motor
wagon have been spoken of generations
before these were accomplished facts.
A. novel entitled "Der Kluge Manu."
published by Voss & Co., :Leipsic. 1875,
by an author named Cramer shows q
Roentgen picture. The story tells Of
the Countess Abillinia, who gave her
heart to the knight GibeIIo. The
knightly lover was thoughtless enough,
however, to kill his ladylove's father,
and her affection turned to hatred, and
she vowed to kill him.. In dream she
saw the man. who had fascinated her,
and she, stood ready to kill him, when
suddenly his form changed, and before
her stood q grinning skeleton, saying.
81 have already been punished" This
scene is illustrated in the old book. and
the picture is not unlike a Roentgen
photograph, but when it was published
no one probably would have believed
that science within comparatively
short time would make it possible to
produce this picture, which the authors
imagination invented. ~ $S{t> y, 81. /,

surgeon he began to talk.

shoot me? I've got such an awful
goneness right here" And he put his
hand to his stomach. The surgeon gave
him quick look and caught him as he
plunged forward in faint. Where the
awful goneness was Mauser bullet
had found its billet. They carried the
wounded man to the field hospital, and
he chuckled all the way. ..a.e- u

If there were no other reasons.
the hight in the republican party in
Barber county in the representa-.
tive contest should be sufficient
cause to defeat the party. The
nomination can not belong to both
and there seems to be no disposition
on the part of the politicians to
settle it fairly. No matter which
wins finally, the defeated faction
will be punished, from the politi.
cal point of view, and if the vic
torious one should be elected, Bar
Der county will be represented in
the legislature by a factionalist in.
stead of a man unbiased and I'M
hampered. The very fact that the
party could not decide this NOM
ination without resorting to the
highest court in the state, clearly
proves that it is not worthy of the
confidence of the people.
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1908-09-23
THE EXPERIENCE QUESTION.

Many republican papers are ad-
vancing the argument that Taft
should be elected IN preference to
Bryan for the reason that Mr.. Taft
has had many years of experience
as federal Office holder while Mr..
Bryan, excepting two years as
congressman, has had no expert
ence. Occasionally one finds even
a democrat who is led astray by
such untenable argument. This
is one of the strongest reasons why
Mr.. Bryan should be elected. The
fact that Mr.. Taft has been an
officeholder during the greater por-
ton of his life since becoming a
voter, is substantial reason why
he should be retired. History has
shown many instances in which
men who have fed long and we'll at
the public crib are not in sympathy
with the people, their environments
are not the best and they too often
forget the general welfare. AS a
federal Judge, Mr.. Taft's decisions
have leaned towards the wealthy
classes and his entire official life
has been to regard the rights of
property paramount to the rights
of individuals. To carry the argu-
ment here referred to, to its logical
conclusion, would be to overthrow
democratic form of government
and adopt despotism. If man is
not qualified to hold the office of
president until he has had years of
experience as an oficeholdeI, why
not make him ineligible until he
has had that experience? And to
follow the same reasoning, the long
er a man has experience as presi-
dent the more proficient he would
become. Then why not crown
him ruler of the nation for life?
Do you see where such an argu.
ment leads? To make the claim
that only experienced oficeholders
are capable of holding office is de-
nying the theory of popular gov
eminent, and to proclaim the ina
bility of the people to govern
themselves. The argument is not
new; it is the same argument that
King George employed when the
colonists decided to free themselves
from despotic bondage. Washing
ton and Jefferson and the men who
founded this nation had no ex-
perience at officeholding but they
did mighty good job of institut-
ing and running a government.
Don't be afraid of a man because
he is not an officeholder if his heart
and head are right.
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1908-09-23

The republican party is surely
striving to please everybody this
year. Beginning, it nominated
Taft, Roosevelt's handmade, for
president. next it nominated Sher-
man, one of Roosevelt's most Bit
ter enemies, who fought all of his
pet measures in congress, for vice
president. This job is supposed
to catch both the progressives and
the reactionaries. It's next move
was to adopt platform strictly
IN accordance with the ideas of
Joe Cannon and the stand pat
crowd and eliminate everything
offered by the La Toilette wing of
the party. This was followed by
Taft's speech of acceptance in
which he repudiated part of the
platform and gave a half. hearted,
milk and water support to a part
of the La Toilette planks and in a
way endorsed physical valuation,
OF railroads, revision of tariff rates,
publicity of campaign expenses
latter election) and election of sena-
tors by direct vote. This speech
was supplemented by other speakers
and writers who declared that
Taft's declarations were not bind
ing on the party and that the party
was responsible for only those
measures appearing in the plat
form. The next acrobatic stunt
was when the bank guaranty de-
post law was sprung. Taft open
ed fire by making a speech against
the Professionalism even hedge.
About the same time the party
council of Kansas incorporated
the measure in its state platform,
and after some correspondence this
same man Taft comes through
and endorses it so far as it applies to
Kansas. All of which leads us to
remark that just now the republi-
can party is wearing the face of
DR.. Jeykl in all chimes; after
election look out for Mr.. Hyde!

Let's see, if history is truthful,
Abraham Lincoln had no expert
eDce as an of6ceholder, and was
defeated for office a time or two
before he became president. Yet
every republican will admit that he
did pretty we'll in guiding the ma
ton through the early and perilous
Cos. If the far fetched theories and
pre- suggestions that the republi-
can press and politicians are send
ing out broadcast are we'll taken,
then Lincoln must have been a
colossal failure. The cohorts oil
the pie brigade should think
before they shoot.

"Uncle"Uoe Cannon struck Kan
sas last week with the usual stand
pat" speech, and the surprise is
that both Stubs and Bristow en-
dorse everything he said from a to
lizard. The Wichita Eagle and
Victor Murdoch, however, take
strong issue with the Speaker and
criticise him in no uncertain tones.
No intelligent, informed man can
say that Cannon's abuse Hof hi:
powers did not prevent legislation
desired by a majority of his fellow

Bristow are right on "Cannonism'

state charters since Attorney Gen.

could not avail themselves of the
