Fire at HumbOIdf.

OLe of the worst fires Humboldt
mas had for years started about three
O'Clock Monday morning in the res
taurant of Herman Shiler on Bridge
street. Before the blaze could be
completely quelled it had succeeded
IN "ip'ng OUT an entire block Of bust
ness houses. The restaurant and
other buildings destroyed were built
of wood and the fire consumed them
80 quickly that the occupants had
barely time to get out, saving only a
few Of their goods.
There were twelve buildings
destroyed In all, among which were
the Central hotel, photograph gallery,
Gie3n's livery stable, John Sler's
restaurant, the Ball builuiug, Sheer
niger bu lding and others.
The buildings burued were mostly
o,d laud marks Of the town and bad
been standing for good many years.
A total estimate Of the loss is not yet
known.

There is but one problem left in
this campalgn-and that is the
problem of getting 10 the polls the
men who stand for right things in
Kansas. If such men vote next
Tuesday, there will be no question
about the reelection of Governor
Stebbs and the continuance of good
government in Kansas. From The
present activity of the brewers
headquarters in Topeka, and their
scores of agents In the field, it is
very evident that they intend to
bring every man whom they can
influence to the polls to vote against
the Governor. O.her forces are
also active and in order 10 make
success certain every man who
believes in the continuance of
present policies should be at the
polls early, and not only vote him
self but show his friends where it is
to their interest to vote likewise.

The election of a republican ad-
ministration and republican legis-
lature means that the progressive
policies of state government will be
carried out. The election of dem
ocratic administration or democrat.
Ic legislature would mean an abso-
lutte halt to all progress. The peo-
pie OF Kansas are not willing to stop
now when the progressive program
is only half completed.

A very few people know that
there is approximately fifty thousand
dollars in the Treasury of the State
to the credit Of the Fish and Game
Department. This money came tn
the Treasury from hunters licenses,
bat the legislature failed to APP
propriate it and not a penny of it
can be touched until the incoming
legislature authorizes it. For the
reason that this fund was not ap-
propnaled; the Governor has had
to carry the Fish and Game Depart
ment by the use of his personal con
tingent fund. By doing this and
expending four or five thousand
dollars, he has been able to save
ole hundred thousand dollars worth
of state property from ruin and
waste. Does anybody believe hat
the Governor should not do this2

A Fatal Policy.

Senator CummIns: One thing
that can be said in favor of our Ie.
cent revision is that it is vastly bet
ter than any tariff which the Demo-
Gratis could enact founded upon the
exploded theory Of levying du'ies
for revenue only. 1t would be fatal
to commit this country to any such
doctrine.

By A Big Majority.

Oswego Independent: Republi-
cans opened the campaign in La
bette county this week with Con-
gresham Campbell as principal
speaker. Mr.. Campbells election
is assured. He has the support of
the state chairman, prominent party
workers in each county and the rank
and file, and it is estimated that he
will win by large majority. He is
capable, and willing to hep his con-
stituents.

Mr.. Hodges, Democratic candl-
date for Governor, by inslnuation
is trying to make the Kansas people
b, lieve that Gov. Stubs is spending
his contingent fund not only reck-
lessly but that he is diverting some
of it to his own use. The latter part
of this charge is SANDER that no
good citizen of the state will believe.
The fact is that the Governor is
more economical with his contingent
fund than any Governor that Kansas
has had for thirty years. 1t goes
principally to two divisions of the
Government. Most of it goes to
the Fish Hatchery, and it was only
day or two ago that the Fish
Warden showed 10 the Governor
that he could plant about three
million fish in the streams of KsE-
sas if he had the money to pay for
it. The Governor Immediately gave
his permission to distribute the fish
and to draw upon his contingent
fund for the cost of it. The other
Department to which his contingent
fund is applied is the Attorney
Generals office, and it is used in
the enforcement of law in places
where the law has been defed.

The poll taken under the direc-
tion of the state committee shows
that the republican state ticket will
be elected from top to botsom by a
good big majority; that a solid re-
publican delegation will be sent to
congress; that the republicans will
control the Legislature and that they
will have the lions share Of county
offices. The opposition is new put
ting up its hardest fight for the leg
islatuie but the people in the rural
sections of the state will not permit
a legislature to be chosen that will
be friendly to the liquor interests.

The republicans have conducted
clean campaign. No mud has
been thrown at any of the opposition
candidates. Personalities have been
kept out entirely. The republicans
have simply exhibited their wares
their platform and candidates-to
the people believing that they were
of the kind to commend support.
And they feel confident of the out

The republicans introduced one
innovation in this campaign, name
ly that no big outside speakers were
brought in to tell the people how to
vote. All the spellbinding has been
done by local Kansas men. Chair
man Dolley believes that Kansas has
as many good speakers to the square
inch as any other state in the union
and that they are more effective
with their own people. Kansas

and the condition and the manage
ment of these institutions lave
improved enormously and are a
credit, not only to the state but to
this administration.
The entire public school system
of the state, including the common
schools ard higher schools and
colleges, have r-ade an advancement
that the state can well feel proud Of.
The attendance as well as the
practical deve,ope aud useful

the moral and educational develop

saying that We have made wonderful
and satisfactory progress in the

that no backward step should be
taken in this respect.
have now in my possession from
nearly every district judge in
Kansas, and from the Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court, as well as
from mayors of cities and other
executive officers, official reports
which indicate that this law is nc
only as well enforced as any otne'
criminal law on the statute books,
but that the enforcement OF it is ont
of the very best business assets O.
the Kansas people. The fedora
officer in this state now hav,
positive orders to prosecute anc
send to jail persons who sell liquo
in Kansas without federal license
rather than compromise witt
offenders as was formerly done by {
cash payment. This has materially J
aided the officers of the state il

Free passes to politicians have
been made illegal. The State
Treasurer's graft has been cor: ected
and the people are now saving all

otherwise 60 to private gain.
There are no leaks anywhere in the
public treasury or in the avenues
which bring money into the public
treasury. Jobs, gratis and ques-
tionable practices have been stop

Department and in the Grain

have been placed upon a sound
business basis and are giving entire
satisfaction to every citizen who
believes in honest methods.
The primary election law has
given the people Of Kansas
absolute power and control over
the nomination and election of
their servants in the larger as well
as in the smaller offices. The
changes that have been made in
the state during the past five years
amount to political revolution and
it is only natural that many
citizens who have lived by politics
are opposing those, who while in
Office intend to MAINTAIN this
system.
All l ask of the people Of
Kansas is to come to the polls on
the day of election, and to exercise
their judgement fairly and fully up.

Local Lodge Paid Tribute
to Dead of General
Order.

With bowed heads, 100000
members of the Benevolent and Pro-
tective Order of Elks in the Unite
States yesterday paid a tribute OF
love, friendship and esteem to lodge
brothers who have passed to the
great beyond.
Members of the Wenatchee Lodge

lodge rooms at 1870 yesterday after
noon and held solemn services in
memoriam for the dead.
Frank Reeves delivered the me
mortal address. Music was furnish
ed by the Elks' quartet and orches-
ira. Mysteries of the Dead" a
poem, was given by Ed. S. Russell
and prayer was offered by Rev. j
W. Johnson. The service was solemn
throughout and was largely attend
ed by local Elks.
This was the first annual memor-
ial service of the local lodge which
has been instituted not quite year

form. The upper part was the form
of a man with head of calf 1t
was made of brass and was heated
to white heat. The priest would
stand on platform in front of the
image with little babe and after
pronouncing a ceremony, would cast
the babe into the brazen arms of the
image. its arms being arranged on
hinges so it would close, burning
and crushing the child to death. The
parents of the child were consoled
that they had done their religious
duty. 1t may be said that that was
their religion and no one had a
right to interfere with it. Yet God
gave a law to Moses inflicting a
death penalty to any of the children
Of Israel who would sacrifice their
children to the God, Moloeh.
IF parents have child. that
child is compelled by the school
board TO receive an education. They
do not concern themselves whether
the parents can read or write, or
whether they can calculate that two
and two make four. but it demands
of them that they give their child
an education. If they object. the
law provides that the parents shall,
II necessary. be put in prison while
the child is educated.
Our opinion of the practice Of
Christian Science healing is that if
parents or people of mature years
desire to take treatment of Chris
tian Science methods, that is their
privilege. but we object to little
innocent babe being neglected and
refused even the home remedies
which our mothers would apply, and
having the Christian Science prac-
tioneers gather around it and in
It's suffering hours, have a ceremony
something like, Go away, devil"
and let the child die without medi-
cal assistance. We consider such a
child as unfortunate as the child
that passed through the fire to Mo-
loeh. 1t is our opinion that there
should be line drawn between the
religion and criminal neglect of the

NOT HARMONY, BUT PRINCIPLES

The press dispatches announce
that President Taft is again en-
deavoring TO promote harmony be-
tween the two republican factions.
1t is doubtful if any measure of har-
mony can be produced. The recent
election indicated the temper OF the
nation and if President Taft wishes
TO build up following, the wise
thing TO do is to throw harmony to
the winds, formulate q definite pol
icy and let those who want to follow,
follow. and those who want to fall
ter. falter. The nation is tired of
this harmony business. 1t wants
leadership on definite policies, re-
gardless Of the effect on party solid
arity. The days OF party cohesion
based on the doing out of cross
roads misunderstanding, the appoint
ing of federal judges, marshais, dis
trict attorneys and revenue collect
ors have passed. These appoint
ments concern less than one-tenth
Of one per cent of American voters,
but the enactment of legislation
which delas with fundamental prob
lens concerning the social and eco
nomic welfare of ali the people APP
peals strongly to the interest and
intelligence of the general voter
these days.
If the republican party is to win
or if it deserves to win in the next
presidential election, it should do so,
because it stands sponsor for some
definite issues Party solidarity in
recent years has centered too strong
" on the spoils of Office. Platforms
have been made ambiguous and pur-
posely so. 1t is time TO make cleo
tions center on the acceptance or re-
lection of clear cut issues such as
are now being submitted to the vot-
ers in the English parliamentary
elections by the parties there. If the
republican party believes in placing
the adjustment of tariff schedules in
mission, let it say so clearly and ex-
plicitly. If it believes in the con-
servation of natural resources, let it
say so. and if it does not, let it say 50,
too. If it believes in strict national
regulation of common carriers let it
make it's position clear. President
Taft has the opportunity to clarity
the political atmosphere, by recon-
mending definite, clear cut measures
for the consideration fcongress and
to assume a position of leadership
If he attempts to secure party har-
.fnony by endeavoring to satisfy this
section or that, or by currying favor
with this faction or that, he will do
little toward placing the party in a
position to go before the country in
1912 with very fattering prospects
of success.
