Editorials
The State and DHtriyt
Republican Conventions

Jackson County's five votes were
represented at the Republican
State Convention by two men,
Thomas Hester, delegate and Alfred
H, Law, alternate for Alfred E.
Hills.
None of the other delegates nor
their alternates appeared. The
public here do not seem to realize
that under party system of gov
ernment the party conventions are
the seat of authority; to practical
intents, the government.
When the Committee on resoIu-
tions got together an attempt on
the part,of some corporate interests
of Denver, to control the conven-
ton appeared.
Their man, A. M. Stevenson, did
have great deal to say in the com
mittee. However, when the report
of the committee got before the
Convention the Stevenson Influence
waned. His people were not even
in the majority in the Denver dele
cation, and in the face of pro-
test from so prominent a man as
Congressman Robert W. Bonynge
the only plank in the platform re-
ported that got to test vote. that
on initiative and referendum, was
changed by very large majority
of the convention, in such a way as
to leave the question open to the
voters on election day absolutely
without prejudice.
The vote on the resolutions. or
platform, showed the corporation
men so plainly where they stood
that they made no opposition to
nomination of candidates whose
claims were based only on their
fitness for their respective posi-
tions and their genuine popularity
Immediately after the State Con
vention the delegates from jackson
Grand and Summit Counties, which
constitute district for represen-
tative purposes, met and unani-
mously chose Frank W. Murphy for
member of the legislature from this
district.
He is very popular both in Jack
son, his home county, and Grand
county where he is well known.
The Summit county dele cation
voted entire confidence in him on
our representation and expect to
make arrangements for him to meet
the voters in their end of the dis
trict defore election Everyone
who knows Frank W. Murphy
knows he will make friends for
himself and for his friends where
ever he goes.
On Saturday Sept. 24th. at Bouf
der the District Convention for the
First Congressional District of
Colorado nominated the Honorable
James c. Burger of Denver for
Congressman. He ran ahead o.
the rest of the Republican ticket
two years ago. is of the variety
known as Young Turk" in Denver
circles and ought. if his record
counts, make an able congressman.

THE QUESTION OF CHILDREN.

According to Mrs. Lareine Helen
Baker Of Seattle, who toured South
Dakota a few months ago in the inter
est of woman suffrage, "Ten years
hence to be the father Of ten OF twelve
children will be as much of a disgrace
as being a confirmed drunkard is at
present"
Mrs. Baker did not make 10 clear
whether she believed this would be
one of the results Of the campaign
for woman suffrage or not. In any
event, she Is not a discipline Of Roose-
welt on the subject of ace suicide.
Presumably Mrs. Baker spoke out
of consideration for her sex. At least
It is natural to suppose that one who
is continually demanding what she
calls the rights" Of woman, would
take the sex view Of almost any ques
ton. II all others OF feminine per
suasion agree with her, the day o.
large families Is passing. For It must
be admitted that the women have 4
in their power to make the family O
! ten children extinct.

COMET is COMING.

Do you want to see Halley's comet?
If you do, you must do SO between
now and June 5. After that date 1t
will not be around again for seventy
five years. The comet appears every
morning before sunrise in the eastern
sky and as the days lengthen it will
appear earlier and earlier. The best
time to see it is shortly before sun
rise, which occurred this morning at
s minutes past 5 o'clock. Sunday
morning it will be very easy to see
and by rising shortly before 5 o'clock
one will be able to see it quite plain
ly off in the eastern horizon. The
comet will increase in bri.liance each
day from o until June 5, so astron-
omers say, and in a few weeks it will
be a familiar sight.
The observers should scan the hori.
zon and when the first rosy tint begins
to color the eastern sky should fix
Upon the spot where the sun is go
ing to appear, which will be in the
center Of the rosy tint.
In the sky he will find Venus. There
should be no mistaking 1t for the com
ct, as Venus is a bright planet.
If anyone feels that getting up so
early is too much of an effort he
need not fear that he will miss see-
ing the comet. It is about So
000, 900 miles away from the earth,
but by May Is it will have drawn with
in 1900, 900 miles and the process OF
rising earlier and earlier will have set
1t back into the evening and 1t will be
seen plainly in the evening sky. May
20 1t will be brightest and plainest of
any time, and 1t will set about 9 p. m.
Thereafter it will grow fainter and
by June S it will be gone.-Minneapo-
lis Journal.

There is considerable complaint in
town and in the country about the
automobiles running after dark with
out lights. The first individual to-
pay attention to the laws in regard to
automobiles, and to take every pre-
caution against accidents, should be
the a~utomobilist himself. The light
ing of lamps is not a hardship, and
it is a necessary precaution. There
have been some narrow escapes from
serious accident in this neighborhood,
and with the increasing number of
machines the danger will be greater.
After an accident with unfortunate
consequences occurs, the party who
has injured himself or some one else
may have reason for lifelong remorse.
There is no excuse for carelessness
ard probably no great pity will be
felt for the individual who suffers as
the result Of not taking reasonable
%precaution.

For I'M reason, there is always

of a child brings grins to the faces

faces Of mothers intimates. Roose-

But why shouldn't it be the most

the question of perpetuating the ace

For unknown centuries, wars, pes

keep down the natural increase in

economic issue. 1t has no relation to
the food capacity Of the earth. Indi-
vidual families find 1t a financial
problem TO support a large family OF

whether those who close their doors
to the stork out OF sheer selfishness
find as much pleasure in life. To re.

FINE HORSES
 FOR THE FAIR

Many applications for the racing program of the county fair are be- ing received, according to Manager w. N. Owen. Horsemen from Oklaho- well as from many points in Arkan- sas.
 While the racing program is not fully completed as yet, the purses that will be offered will be sufficient to at tract many fine horses to our fair. The Faulkner County fair is very attractive this year to horsemen and concessions of all kinds owing to the fact that it comes just week ahead of the big state fair at Hot Springs, and as most of the attractions booked for Hot Springs will come just week earlier and be at the Faulkner county fair.
 The state fair is offering big purses for their racing events and are ex- pecting more fine horses at this fair than they have ever had before.
 Manager Owen states that he is sure most of the horses that will book into Hot Springs can also be secured for Conway at very little extra cost, and he already has assurances from several owners of large strings that they will come. Those interested in clean limbed thoroughbred horses who have made their marks as runners, pacers or trotters may expect a real treat at this years fair.
