The Kiowa News-Review most
heartily endorses the reorganiza-
tion of the republican central COM
mittee and says that for the first
time in many years it is giving the
state and county ticket its earnest
support. The News-Review admits
that it has not supported the can
didates very enthusiastically for a
number of years but it regards the
leading candidates this year as those
of its own creation and expects to
gain much prestige in the event of
the tickets success. 1t is the first
time in it's existence that the News
Review has refused to support the
Kiowa candidates on the Democratic
ticket.

President Taft's apparent b

President Taft's apparent back
up in the insurgent-standpat i'm
broglio again portrays the weakness
OF the man. After endorsing the
Payne-Aldrich tariff as "the best"
sthe President now overthrows
Speaker Cannon who was one of the
chief conspirators. There has never
been a time since his election that
President Taft has taken a position
and kept it. Naturally, the Ameri-
can people expect stability in the
makeup of the chief executive of the
nation. But they are sorely disap-
pointed in Mr.. Taft. The tariff law
is no better nor no worse now than
1t was when the President gave it
his hearty endorsement in his Wi
mona speech. 1t is still the same
law and it comes with poor grace
for Taft to change his position al
this time.

"If 1 am ever elected president,
which seems extremely improbable
at this time,I shall run the office as
1 dang please, irrespective of what
Theodore Roosevelt and the Kansas
City Star think. l shall go even
further than that. While 1 hope to
maintain my friendly relations with
Bill Allen White and expect to have
him in to lunch quite often, shall
not consult him about the conduct
of my office. 1 had been warming
up to Taft a good deal here of late
but l am frank enough to say that
1 am now "off'' Big Bill for good.
Big Bill, scared to death for fear
he couldn't be elected a second
term, apologized to Roosevelt the
other day for something he didn't
do. am tired of being run by Theo-
dore Roosevelt and the Kansas City
Star and I make no bones about it.
If the people finally decide to elect
me president against my will they
know what to expect. ."-Dodd Gas

:; Notwithstanding the fact that
County Treasurer Groendycke has
no. :. opposition, everybody should
vote for him anyway, il for no
other reason, Just to show that good
service is appreciated. The Demo
cratic party did a good work when
it nominated him two years ago
and the fact that he has a clear
field this year proves it. Anoth-
er candidate who has no opposition
is Emmett McClearey, Democratic
candidate for county surveyor. He
was defeated for that office two
years ago through mere over
sight. Many republicans who In
tended to cross over and vote for
him, forgot it and they have since
regretteds their forgetfulness. Mr.
MeClearey is one of the very few
men in Barber county who Is Dual
ified to take care of the county sur
veyor's work.

Fifteen years ago the Populists
incorporated in their national and
state platforms the initiative and
referendum and the Republicans
held up their hands in horror.
The Populists went into oblivion
largely because they advocated
this measure. Now the Republican
party not only advocates the initia-
tive and referendum in some states,
but 1t also advocates the recall
which was first advocated by the
Socialist party. Thus it must be ad.
mitted that our Republican friends
must have been in the dark fifteen
years.

For a great many years the peo-
pie of Barber county have been
clamoring for a competent, expert
enced lawyer to fill the office Of
county attorney, and two years ago
the Democratic party prevailed on
Seward 1. Field of this city to ac-
cept the nomination. He was over
whelmingly elected and administer
ed the affairs of the office in a
creditable manner. He has consent
ed to accept the nomination again
this year, and, naturally, some are
opposed to him on account of prose
cutions that he conducted in his of
ficial capacity. Whether he is re-
elected or not is of little conse-
Quence to him personally, for his
private practice keeps him well oc-
cupied and the office of county at
torney compels him to "pass up" a
great deal of highly remunerative
business, but it is of great conse-
Quence to the taxpayers of Barber
county. To fail to re-elect him
would be to simply contribute to an
increase in public expenditures.

The Payne-Aldrich law is not
bringing in sufficient revenue torun
the government, reports from the Re
publican press bureau to the contra
ry notwithstanding. The tariff law
the corporation tax, internal revenue
receipts, and all other sources of

to run the government during the

WIN Show IN Madison Square Garden

John Stone Of. this city shipped a
pen of his Buff Wyandotte poultry to
Lestershire, New York, Monday, to
be shown at Madison Square Garden
in a large poultry exhibit. The
birds will, be taken in charge upon
their arrival at Lestershire by q
poultry fancier of national reputa-
tion and we are confident that they
will measure up to the best shown
in the great Empire state.
Mr.. Stones birds took first pre-
MUM in the Kansas and Oklahoma
shows and their winnings and scores
were widely published. These scores
fell into the hands Of the New York
poultry fancier who communicated
with Mr.. Stone with the result that
the birds were engaged for the
Madison Square Show. The pen
consists of four, scoring from 90
to 95%. They are beauties.

When the voters Of Kansas elect
Senator Geo. Hodges to the import
ant position of governor they will
have done a duty of which they can
always feel proud. He will have no
axes to grind, no political debts to
pay which would require digging
deep into the state treasury, no
dreams of reform laws that will
make it easy to acquire a living
without having to work for it. He
will prove to the people that there
is no use for lot of fat politicians
who sit around and draw big pay
for filling places on state boards OF
one kind and another and whose
elements of usefulness are that they
can corral several votes when the
primary election time comes, With
Mr.. Hodges in the governors chair
as chief executive there will be
more business and less politics; the
men who serve under him will re-
ceive and hold their positions be.

Tom McNeal Confesses

ON McNeal makes the following
confession in last weeks
Mail & Breeze. Fifteen, ten or
even five years ago the most opti-
mistic dreamer" would not have
even hoped that the Republican
leaders of Kansas would have en-
dorsed Populist doctrines, and it is
sad fact that Jerry Simpson and
other great thinkers of the early 90s
could uot have been spared to see
their principles endorsed and adopt
et BY the party that abused them
so severely in those days. But such
IS fate.
After all, this from our ex-towns-
man is refreshing:
A number of leading Republi-
cans are talking about the things
that ought to go into the platform.
The plank that is the most talked
about is the initiative and referen-
DUN, and the recall.
Now, 1 am in favor of the ini-
tiative and referendum, but to be
real frank and honest about it, it
does sound sort of funny to hear a
lot of US old time Republicans advo-
eating the initiative and referendum,
doesn't it? When the old-time Popu-
lists advocated it we thought it was
"a blamed fool theory that would, if
put into practice, involve the state
in continual turmoil and never get
anywhere. Let us be square about
this thing and own up that old-time
Populists were further advanced in
the study of political economy than
we were. Many of the Populists had
wheels in their heads and advocated
what seemed to me then, and what
seems to me now, to be impracti-
cable schemes, but it must be admit
ted that there were students among
them who had given the problem of
government more profound and in
telligent study than the old-line pol
iticians who laughed them to scorn.
However, no matter who originated
the idea, the initiative and referen-
dunn is correct in principle and will
be adopted all over this country
within a comparatively few years.
If it should be put in practice in its
widest sense I am of the opinion
that it would be a good thing for
the country. If no law of any i'm
portance could be passed without
first having originated from
the electors, and if no law Of any
Importance could become permanent
and actually in force until after it
had been ratified by popular vote,
there would be fewer laws en-
cumbering the statute books and
there would be vastly less legislative
corruption. The disgraceful disclos-
ures of the Illinois legislature would
have been nearly impossible, for
the reason that legislative bribers
