There are few men in Barber coun-
'ty who are so especially well fitted
for the office of Register of
Deeds as w. B. Clarkson of Kiowa,
the Democratic candidate. There
are men who are as well, and even
better fitted to fill other offices, but
for this particular office Mr.. Clark
son yields in, point of qualification
to nobody. Added to his clerical
ability. he is gifted more than most
people in courtesy and sociability
and the people may be assured that
with him in charge of the recorders
office. they will always be accorded
the very best service and treatment.
1t is beyond the genius of mankind
to invent single plausible reason
why Mr.. Clarkson should not be
elected.

G. NJ. Martins Tax Record

People who desire to know some
thing about G. NJ Martins tax
record ought to consult the county
treasurer's books in their leisure
moments. Mr. Martin is keeping the
Republican papers busy printing ar
ticles over his signature, censuring
Seward l. Field for securing COM
promise assignment on an old, run
down and undesirable piece of prop
erty in this city and afterward put
ting it in a marketable condition
and selling it and breaking even on
the transaction, yet the county treas
urer's books show that Mr.. Martin Sc
cured hundreds of lots on better
terms than Mr. Field obtained in
this instance and made dollars
where Mr.. Field made cents In one
instance Mr.. Martin took an assign
ment to "a lots at 9 cents per lot
another-74 lots at Is cents per lot
when the taxes were from S4.34 to
S4.72 per lot; another-several lots
at cents per lot, taxes S1.0S per
lot; s blocks at Scents per lot, tax
es 80 to "a cents per lot. Mr.. Mar
tin has since sold nearly all of these
lots and has realized several hun
dreds of dollars more than he paid
the county for them, and if he were
consistent he would turn this money
back to the county. Mark you, we
are not criticising him we think
the speculation was perfectly 1egiti-
mate and the county well afforded
to make the deals in order to get
these lots back on the tax rolls, but
where is the consistency in his CEN
suring Mr. Field? And while dis
cussing tax matters, will Mr.. Martin
please state who owns lots Is, II,
10 and 81, Stolp's avenue west, Med
icine Lodge city, and whether or not
the taxes were paid in 1908, 1904,
1905, 1906 and 1907 on all of these
lots? Go to.

your conscience won't be at ease if

pie of a county have an opportunity

they will be honoring themselves

1t is no experiment when you
vote for Allen Smith for Clerk of
the District Court. He has served
in that capacity before, was always
strictly attentive to his duties and
was always on the job. He was nev-

his legal duty but was ever ready to
work little overtime to accommo-
date somebody, and at the end of
his term of office the finances were
in perfect order. Wherever Allen
Smith happens to be employed, at
the close of each days task the
good benediction-"Well Done, Thou

applies. You will find his name on

not afraid to take a position on pub

found on the Peoples side of these
questions. He spent his boyhood
days on the farm and the past fif-

clean and upright and his ability to

Mr.. Madison, Please Answer

When the people of the 7th Dis
trict elected you to congress, Mr..
Madison, they elected you on a plat
form which pledged you to work and
vote for a revision of the tariff
downward. But in defiance of their
wishes and interests you voted for
the Payne-Aldrich Tariff Bill with
all of its jobs in favor of the rich
and against the consumer. Why
did you do this, Mr. Madison? Was
it because you loved aldrich and
Cannon more than you loved the
people of your district; or was it
because you loved the rich corpora
tions, who will reap the rich reward
of the jobs contained in the tariff
bill, more than you love the people
of your congressional district; or
was it because you loved party reg
ularity more than you loved the in
terests of your constituents?
When you voted for this job tar
if bill, Mr.. Madison, you voted for
a schedule to admit raw silks free
and only place a duty of 50 per
cent on the manufactured article,
while at the same time the bill
placed a duty of 135 per cent on
wooden or worsted cloths. Was it
because silk was used by the great
er number of your constituents and
woolens and worsteds only by few,
that you voted for the bill, Mr..
Madison?
Then again, why did you vote to
tax champagne from "a to Sc per
cent, and wearing apparel at so to
80 per cent? Was it to encourage
your constituents, out here in prohi-
bition Kansas, to drink champagne
and to discourage them from wear,
ing wooden clothes, that you cast
your vote that way?
And again, why did you vote to
tax hats bringing not over $3.50 per
dozen at n per cent, and those val
led at more than $500 per dozen
only Al per cent? In whose inter-
ests was this done, Mr.. Madison,
1our poor or rich constituents?
There must be a reason for your
yoting for the abomination called
he Payne-Aldrich Tariff Bill, con-
aiming the above jobs and scores of
'thers. VIII you kindly give it to
our constituents before asking them
o vote for your reelection in No
-ember. Don't be afraid to speak !
Up, Mr.. Madison, and remember that |

Here is a business proposition: If
you needed the services of a law
yer and there were only two from
which to choose-Seward 1. Field
and G. NJ. Martin-whom would you
choose? One is a successful lawyer
while the other is hardly in the
practice and is rarely successful. The
question is already answered. you
would employ the successful lawyer.
Then why not use the same judgment
when you vote for county attorney?
The man who does not vote to re-
elect Mr.. Field is simply permitting
a prejudice to overcome his judg-
ment.
