every convention in which resolutions
were introduced emphatic endorse

the Washington county convention eA-
pressed admiration and confidence, as
follows:
with hearty congratulations upon

of President Taft's administration and
an unfaltering confidence in the fruit
fulness of the years yet to come, we
send these resolutions to the Republi-
can state convention by the hands OF
delegates fully in accord with all their
terms and entrust to these delegates
our greeting to President Taft and the
expression of our LOYALTY and Cur adj
miration.
The Des Moines county convention
endorsed the Taft administration and
its tariff accomplishments. Henry
county Republicans expressed them
selves to the same effect, resolved in
favor of the repeal of the primary law
and declared as to the districts pres
ent representative:
I'VE earnestly endorse Congressman
C. A. Kennedy for reelection. He has
given faithful and efficient service to
the people, and merits the continued
support and confidence of the dis

as follows:

So far as observed Adair county is
the only one in the state which has
Endorsed, the Aldrich-Payne tariff
law.-Des Moines Register and Lead
er.
The observation stops short of the
facts in the case. Lee county Repub-
licans mentioned the Aldrich-Payne
tariff law specifically by name and
gave it unqualified endorsement as
follows:
We renew our faith in and allegi-
ance to the protective policies of Re-
publicanism under which the country
has enjoyed marvellous degree OF
prosperity, and give our unqualified
endorsement to the Payne-Aldrich
tariff law as enacted by the sixty
FIRST congress and approved by Presi
dent Taft.

Sufficient signatures have been Sc
cured to obtain the submission Of
prohibition amendment TO the consti-
tuition OF the state of Missouri, and
the question Will be voted upon by the
people of that commonwealth at the
November election. No one is willing
to predict the outcome. The cities
like st. Louis, Kansas City, ST. Joe.
Joplin and others of the lesser size
are overwhelming against the amend.
ment, but it is in the back woods and
on farms where the proponents of pro
hibition will get support, and that
really constitutes most of the state
and majority of the people. The out
come of the contest will be awaited
with interest.

poem contributed by Mr. W. T.
Hornaday entitled His Golden DAYS.
1t begins with call to the members
of the club as follows:
Ho, bring We wood for a white mans
fire,
And sit in the glow of your hearts
desire;
For, look you. A Camper has come
from afar,
From the Days that Were to the
Days that Are.
Then come the following seven
stanzas:
A toast to the "Ranchman" of Chin
ney Butte,
By the Little Missouri's food,
Where he won his spurs in his Hunt
ing Trips
AS genuine sportsman should
We have stalked with him for the
wary deer.
We have gallored through driving
rains;
We have felt with him, on the prong
bucks trail,
The mystic spell of The Plains.
We drink to the Wilderness Tunters''
pursuit,
AS his bull elk speeds through the
snow,
Where the Big Horn Range looms
high ahead,
And his camp lies far below
Oh, we trailed with him DER the
grizzly's ground,
AS we sought out Ephraim's lair,
And we crouched behind the Man
with-a-Gun
When he wakened that sleeping
bear
A health, boys all, to the Hunter of
Sheep,
AS he climbs to the mountain s
crest,
And the trophy falls to the eide
rock rough,
As twas done in the Once-Wild
West,
Then the white goats were his; and
with terrible toll
Came the kootenay caribou;
But with pencil and paper he gave
them away,
To the world and to me, and to you
o, here's to the Hunter who rides to
the Hounds,
On the trail of the wolf and the
bear!
On the wings of the wind he is carried
along
AS the cougar is rushed to his lair
With whoop and halloo the chase
dashes on,
And it's gone, in the wink of ar
eye,-
The quarry, the dogs and the rough
riding rout,
Ere we give them "good-day' anc
goodbye
4 With holding of breath as we gazt
Ger the veldt,
We see a Safari trail out.
Now, Heaven be kind to the Camp
Firer bold
And give him safe conduct n route
The great cyclorama of African gam
Now rises and circles around
Till the landscape is garnished will
heads and with horns,
And thousand hoofs hammer tn
ground.
In this garden of game, and of hunt
ing for sport,
Lo! The red gods miracle knew

CALLING SPECIAL SESSION

After holding the people of Okla

lowing proclamation calling a special

Der %:
Whereas, at an election held in the
state of Oklahoma, on June II, 1910, a I
large majority of the votes cast at
said election were in favor of meas

Il ing that the legislature be convokees
in special and extraordinary session,
and,
Whereas, in my opinion the public
welfare requires that said extraordiP--

voked at Oklahoma City:
''Now, therefore, l, c. N. Hasken,

haps, not another governor in the en-
tire United States that would have act
ed in this matter as has the governor
of Oklahoma. There is. perhaps, not
another governor in the United States
that would have so shown his con-
tempt for the supreme court of the
state on the one hand or his disregard
of the rights and feelings of his sue
|cessor on the other.
Under all ordinary circumstances
and conditions we would say that such
a movement was foredoomed to fail
ure. But existing political circunl
chances and conditions in Oklahoma
are not ordinary On the contrary
they are most extraordinary. With the
possible exception of the supreme tri-
lbunal of the state one man has it by
the throat. If there is a single other
officer in the state with courage and
virtue to oppose him the three years
of statehood have failed to bring him
to tn front.
We can but await the event itself.
Perhaps the legislature. after it is
convened will exert itself and pro-
claim it's own policy. Coming fresh
from the people and heated campaign
we shall be surprised if this does not
prove true. In the national congress
we have just witnessed one set of leg
islators wholly unable to properly con.
strue public sentiment The lesson
has probably not been lost on Okla
lhoma. Tulsa World.

try were superfluous and unnecessary

sham. The evidence showed that be-
tween April 1909, when the trust was
organized and November l, 1910, the
price of window glass went up 20 per
cent. The trust earned 100 per cent
on its capital stock within three
months; 400 per cent in eleven months.
And yet, when the officials of the trust
practically pleaded guilty to the charge
of violating the antitrust law, GER
tain United States Judge against the
protest of the attorney general, let the
officers off with fines of $500 each and
the corporation with $4,000 and costs.

He fills the bill.

To everything there sis a season,
saith the preacher, and a time tosevery
purpose under heaven. There is a time
to talk dollars and cents; and that is
when a railroad company wants Alright
of way, or a manufacturing company
asks a bonus for locating here; but it
is a time for other than commercial
motives to come into play when it Is
proposed to bring here a conference
to consider how our state may best
discharge its duty to the criminal, the
cripples and the insane. 1t may be
that the coming meeting Of the state
conference of charities and correction
will be a good thing for Vinita. 1t may
we'll be that it will bring people here
who will become interested to help
Vinita get liberal appropriation for the
new hospital for the insane. But let
us keep these things dark as If we
were half ashamed of them and when
we put down our two dollars per to-
wards the conference expenses, and
thus become members of the confer
ence, let us do it in the name of the
unfortunate, in the name of the noble
men and women who are laboring fol-
them and in the name of humanity.

The latest news from Mexico indi-
cate a serious state of affairs. The
Mexican people are evidently beeom-
ing desirous of governing themselves.
We were afraid that the habit of being
governed by Diaz had grown so strong
that nothing but his death could dis
turb 1t. The rule of Diaz may have
been a good thing for Mexico in many
ways, but even the most benevolent
despotism has served its purpose and
is ready to pass away when it has edu-
Gated a people to the point where they
won't submit to it any longer.
