Taft and Trade.

IL was often promised during the
campaign Of 1908 that the election Of
Mr.. Taft meant resumption Of com
mercial and industrial activity in the
United States. The fulfillment Of this
promise is at hand. In fact, il began
the day after election last November.
When it was certain that the menace
of Mr.. Bryan had been removed maru'
facturers and dealers in all lines began
to put in operation plans for the exten-
sion OF their business.
The Inauguration Of Mr. Taft as pres
ident, even with the prospect Of the
early convention OF congress for the
purpose Of revising the tariff, has had
still further reassuring effect on bus
mess and the reports from the great
commercial agencies nil indicate most
encouraging prospects. One of the
features that has contributed to this re-
suit has been the fact that during the
last year stocks Of all kinds Of goods
were reduced to minimum. The scare
Of 1907 had the effect Of checking con-
sumption and consequently manufae'
turc. Retailers bought only for imme-
diate demand, and this policy extended
through the channels OF trade nll tho
way back TO the maker, The pressdr'
has now been removed. but the maker

goods fast enough to meet the require

Roosevelt the Champion of Right

The nation will always remember this
remarkable man with deep gratitude
and affection. lie has assiduously
taught the golden rule in the market
place, with the aid of the big stick and
otherwise. 1t was well worth doing
and it was thoroughly done. By his

We're prone TO worship indiscriminately.

Logan County Dry Farmers Win
Many Prizes.

L
Logan county was not very extensive
ly represented at the dry farming con-
gress held at Cheyenne last week, that
is, so far as numbers 60. but those who
attended the meetings of the congress
were made aware that Logan county
was one of the best sections of the west
through the exhibits made by Charles
Green of Leroy and A. M. Axelson and
George Freemeyer of Haxtun.-S -Ster-
ling Democrat.

ton of prizes for upland grown products

Readers who are not acquainted with
the location of Haxtun will take 1t for
granted from the above clippings, that
Haxtun is one of the Logan county
towns and will see nothing peculiar in
the wording Of these clippings.
Readers who know that Haxtun is in
Phillips county instead of Logan will
smile at the thought that there is no
limit to the nerve of some newspaper
men when it comes to advertising their
home town and county. The above
clippings are so worded, whether inten-
tionally or otherwise we leave the read
er to judge, as to leave the impression
on readers who do not know the facts.
that A. NJ. Axelson and A. E. Edwards
are Logan county men when in fact
one is Of Phillips and the other Of Sedg-
wick county.
We always feel like commenting n
newspaper for doing its best in boost
ing its home county and town but n
"fair deal" demands that. in doing so.
IL do not step over the county lines and
appropriate what belongs to neighbor-
ing counties.
1t has been comparatively but few
years since we called down the wrath
of Sterling newspaper men upon US by
chasing Logan county with the rain
belt counties. At that time the news
papers.of that city insisted that their
, county should be classed with the irri-
gated counties Of the state. Time works
wonders. Now we find the newspapers
!. Of the same city advertising their coun'
ty MS dry farming county and. to
make the best possible showing In this
class Of counties, using what they can
appropriate from adjoining dry farming
counties. Verify. the Sterling news
papers should have the whole cake as
boosters.

This is the most dangerous time Of

This is the most dangerous time Of
the year to catch cold, and it is the
hardest time to cure it. If you should
take cold, a few doses of Kennedy's
Laxative Cough Syrup will act very
promptly. Its laxative principle cures
the cold by driving it from the system
by gentle but natural action of the
bowels. Children especially like Ken
nedy's Laxative Cough Syrup, as it
tastes so good; nearly like maple sugar.

SHAMS

If one desires to know the
shams, he should visit this city
and mingle for time among
those who are ambitious for So
cial and political leadership.
Washington is a cesspool for
shams. Shams may be found in
every walk of life and in every
vocation and profession.
The women are really doing
more for humanity and race ele-
vation than all the sham organi-
cations in the city. Men who can
really do something are relegated
to the rear and the shams are
generally pushed forward and
ahead of legitimate leaders.
The shams walk around and
strut about like peacocks. They
want to be at the head of every
enterprise; only to fail. They
make bluffs at social leadership
and many of them declare that
they are the its in the body pol
itic of every character. At this
time the shams are in the lead.
They know so much that intelli-
gent men and women cannot tell
them anything. Shams in the pull
pit are masked beyond recogni-
ton. They are doing nothing to
elevate or promote society.

OUR PUBLIC PRINTER

The Senate has confirmed the
nomination Of Public Printer
Donnelly. Mr.. Donnelly is no
doubt one of the most practical
men in the printing business, and
when President Roosevelt nomi-
mated him for the position of
Public Printer he placed a man
at the head of great institution
who knows his business. All
the friction that heretofore exist
ed in this great workshop has
vanished, and now no office is,
under the present administration,
any better conducted than the
government printing office.

CRUM DROPPED

1t is no funeral of The Bees.
and it has no tears to shed for
anybody, The Bee has been
shedding tears for Negroes for
20 years and after their resurrec-
ton they only say, What fools
these mortals be"
1t is claimed that DR.. Crum
will succeed some one in town.
Why should he? He has held
office about long enough, hence
he ought to give. some one else a
show. The Bee is opposed to
chronic office seekers and office
holders. The Bee is of the opin-
ion that the President has been
very nice to DR.. Crum. DR.. Crum
has been in office seven years,
two terms. This is long enough
for any man. Mr.. Taft will make
a mistake if he attempts to send
his name in again.
1t is said that DR.. Crum has a
large practice, so let him follow
it and give others a show.

A LIAR
From the Chicago, III. Defender.

From the Chicago, I'll. Defender.
The Washington Cd. c. Negroes
have never done anything to uplift
the race The best they can do IS to
bleat about Booker T. and other men
doing the race good They can't get
drink of soda water at any public
place, cannot eat in restaurant and
are not allowed in many of the parks.
The people of the city have d
very high regard for DR.. Wash
ington and always give him a
royal reception whenever he
comes here. They can get all
the soda they want because they
own and conduct drug stores of
their own, far superior to many
drug stores owned by white men ;
and so far as their restaurants are
concerned, they surpass all of
the white ones for first class ser
vice.
The colored people Of this city
have a high regard for their rep
resentative men and so anxious
are the big Negroes to see DR..
Washington when he comes to
the city, they remain up all night
and wait for his arrival, and when
he leaves he is compelled to take
a carriage and start away, escort
ed to the depot every time by
his distinguished son-in-law, Mr..
w. Sidney Pittman.
The Chicago Defender is liar,
pure and simple.

Mr.. SIDNEY BIEBER

The national committeeman for
the District of Columbia, Mr..
Sidney Bieber, is entitled to
some consideration at the hands
of the next administration. The
suspension of Mr.. Bieber's pen
sion may be right from a legal
standpoint, but, from humane
point of view The Bee is of the
opinion that it is all wrong. Mr..
Bieber is young man who has
won his way by hard work. The
attack made upon him by Sen
ator Carter was unjustifable, as
the subsequent investigation
showed.
In view of the blunder made
by the Senator from Montana, he
should be man enough to retract
the unjust assault he made upon
