The Council.

We attended the Republican sta e
council, in Topeka, Tuesday. There
was a large crowd of representative
men of the party there and good
deal of hard thought was put in on
the shaping of the platform. The
committee was very largely com
posed of progressives and the stand
pat members as rule conceded them
the authority to shape the platform
and determine the lines on which
the battle should be fought this fall.
There were some differences Of
opinion on the expediency of certain
measures, but all things were ironed
out in a very satisfactory way, to a
large majority of the delegates.
The platform Is exceedingly pro-
gressive and should be satisfactory
to the most ultra. 1t contains very
m any coed measures and suggestions
and puts the party squarely in line
on many of the reform measures
that have been suggested by Gov.
Stuhbs and other leaders. 1t now
remains for the party to get to WORK
and elect the ticket. Among the
delegates and visiting statemen pres
ent there seemed to be a great feel
ing for harmony and unaminlty IN
desire to drop differences and
present a solid front to the common
enemy this fall

VIII Move.

DIR. G H. Brown is closing out his
affairs here preparatory to moving to
Kansas City. For thirty-tive years
DR.. Brown has been practlclng
physician in this town. He has been
with it during its growth from a
small village. He has been part OF
1t during all these years. He was
ever good citizen, kind neighbor
and a friend to those in need.
He has practiced medicine all these
years, going at everybody's call and
all kinds of weather. The poor re-
ceived his attentions and medicines
without charge or price. Now broken
in health and unable to practice he
leaves US,
DR.. Brown has earned home in
Chanute and should have it. We
hope he may yet see his way clear and
stay among us.

How to Keep a Husband.

she would be glad to go il we cared

we agreed 10 do. 1t took consider

extI emely careful about all the little
details OF her toilet. One of the
party grew impatient and said 30 me:
"Fhere Is no need of her being so
long, l got myself ready ia Is

decided she told the truth.
When our friend came out, splek
and span, well groomed and tidy, the

need you always be so particular?
You've got your man."

quick reply, "and l mean to keep

"Keep him. There's volumes ia
that. Getting husband is COM

Open Versus Closed Shop,
kansas City Journal.)

kansas City Journal)
There is not only sound common
sense but evidently good law in the
decision of Justice Coff of the New
York supreme court that the
"closed shop" is conspiracy in
restraint of trade. 1t is sincerely
to be hoped that this matter may
ct to the supreme court CT the
Uaited States and be settled enGe
for all, the Interpretation taking its
place in the organic law of the
land one way or the other. Either
one portion Of the workingmeR of
the country can legally bar the
doors of labor to another portion or
the door is open to all toilers, on
terms of exact equality before the
law. The only alterr alive is the
forcible and illegal exclusion of Ole
portion of the workers, and that is
MT consonant with the spirit Of
institutions based on equality.
There is emily one sensible theory
on which workihgmen may proceed,
and that is that they may work or
not as they see fit, strike or not as
they may slect, but that this
freedom of choice cannot legally be
denied to any man who wishes to
work or to strike. 1t Is strange that
so fundamental a theory has not
been incorporated more unambigu-
ously than it has been into the laws
regulating the business world.
NothiAg could be mere tyran-
nical than a proposition to tax fol
purposes of maintaining the govern
ment only the members of a labor
organization. Civil war weuld
follow the attempted enforcement
of any such law. But no civil Law
or any very emphatic protest on th'
part of The excluded workingmeE
follows the repeated inIistence or
the part of organized workers tAa

the benefits Of employ ment; tha

The greatest American, Iheooofe
Roosevelt, is now on Kansas SOIL
Not only the greatest American but
the best known and most popular
man in the world today.
He is on a speech making tour
and is meeting with the most en-
thusiastic receptions wherever he
goes. He is great and popular be-
cause he stands for something and
is not afraid to fight for the things
he thinks right. He is a friend to
the underdog In the fight. He be-
lieves in fair play. He is for the
people and against unlawfully en-
ployed capital and for honesty at
all times. He is friend OF labor
vet wants an honest dollars worth
of work for a dollar. He wields the
biggest influence of any man in the
country today because the people
believe him sincere. He will dedi'
cate the park at Osawatomie to the
memory of its hero, John Brown.

several times the amount of the
duty?
Oh, the trusts sheltered by the
tariff, declares the Free Trader, take
care of that. But, by the same
token, how can a mere duty of one
and a half cents pound shelter an
Americaa trust against the competi
ton of a foreign producer, who has
several tim one and a half cents
to gain by sending his meat here?
1t is not the tariff which is the
shelter. We have absolute monopo-
lies where we have no duties. There
are trusts abroad where there are no
walls of protection. One shelter OF
the trust that controls the market
is the combination of producers that
ought to be competitors. Another
shelter Is the government policy that
permits this combination to control
markets.
There is a beef trust in the United
States. Well, there is beef trust
In Canada. If there were not, aad
If it were not acting IN concert,
Canadian beef could come into
this market 10 get the benefit of big
profits after the payment ofthe duty
of one and half cents pound at
the very much higher prices here.
Why doesn't the Canadian beef
trust come in, then? Because it
would have to fight on both sides of
the border line. If it came over
here to get business away from the
big United States American Beef
Trust it would have to fight over
here, and the big American beef
trust would go over there to fight
it on its own ground. That is an
old game Of the trusts. That is the
way it is proved to one combination
which aspires to invade another'S
preserves that it is much cheaper
not to fight than to fight; that it is
much mote profitable to partition
territory and divide high profits
than to share all territory and 10

There is the sugar trust, also used
In the argument of the minority

Admitted Interview.
BaIlinger admitted that the inter

to the publication of the CLAWS charges
that he proposed to kill some snakes
was held
He also said that he had reference
to CLAWS, as he had made up his mind
that he ought to be killed as snake.
He said that CLAWS floafed on his job
in conducting the Alaskan cases.
Unknown Letter Read.
The hitherto unknown letter of the
president to Ballinger, under the date
of Sept 10, 1909, was read. In it the
president expressed a desire to retain
Pinchot, but said that his weakness
lay in his inability to credit high and
honorable motives to those who diff
fered with him as to his method of
doing things" The president request
ed Ballinger to remain silent under
criticism. The secretary said that this
was the reason that he had not answer

1t is stated physicians fear they will

tubes necessitating an operation. 1t
is known, also, that when the kings
throat was affected previously it was
subject to spasmodic contractions of
the vocal chords, which we're rather
alarming.

In his majesty's present condition
the sudden strain of such spasms put
upon the blood vessels would likely
demand instantaneous relief. Hence
