The reformers who are going to save
the city by introducing a new form OF
government are quarreling over some
thing like half dozen different schemes;
all of them, however, agreeing in the
centralizing of power in a few hands.
One of the plans proposes to raise the
mayors salary to $4,000 per year SO as
to induce the right kind of men to ac-
cept the office" Will the workingman
who has not half decent living when
he works hard all the time fall to such
schemes as that? We will see. Re
member, always, that not one of the pro-
posed schemes promises single hint OF
help to the workingman; and every
member of the working class should
place an emphatic NO opposite every
one of the proposed plans. Commission
government coupled with a fake initia-
tive and referendum, SO framed that
none but the great corporations can use
them and fake recall, which nobody
can use, would make conditions worse
instead of better for the workingman
and the small taxpayer but would be
fine for big business.
Some of the. churches and parlors of

for himself in the city of New York the most costly house in the world
 His residence in Montana, is, we fancy, quite as nominal as his resi- dence in Arizona-he visits both commonwealths occasionally, to look after his extensive mining interests.
 Up to yesterday the Montana legis- lature appeared to be in the middle of bad fix, so far as arriving at a choice for senator was concerned. On joint ballot the republicans have AS votes, and the democrats 53. On ac- count of the bitter dissensions in the democratic ranks, Senator Carter has had strong hopes of re-election-3 democratic votes would elect him. The democrats have been divided mainly between T. J. Walsh and w. G. Con rad. The Amalgamated Copper com pany has been opposing Walsh. and pushing Conrad. Clark, it is under stood, would be quite as acceptable to the company as the Amalgamated is known in Montana, as Conrad would be: and as Clark has a host of friends in Montana. the last advices indicated that he might be chosen.

Tn. Plight of the insurgents.

Just how much good faith is there in the insurgent leaders who have made themselves the most conspicuous in finding fault with President Taft?
 This has become a practical and in- teresting question. in view of the panic into which these insurgent re- pnblicans have been thrown by MT. Tafts program for reciprocity between the United States and Canada
 The more militant of these insur- gents have insisted that they are good republicans, and in tones of grief have explained that their insurgency is based solely upon the tariff question they want lower duties.
 Mir Taft has always said, in sub stance: ''very well; I want lower duties also. The tariff bill was not an ideal measure by any means. and as soon as you congressman will give me board of tariff experts who can aid us in revising the tariff independ ently of the clamor of special interests. I will advocate further revision. But believe. as Mckinley did. that arbi-. trary and inelastic tariffs. whatever the schedules may be. do not provide the best means of protecting our in- dustries and promoting the sale of our products abroad. l believe that care fully drawn reciprocity treaties. which enable us to exact something for the American people in return for certain concessions to foreigners in our tariff schedules. will put us in better posi- tion than would a tariff law which affords us no opportunity for recipro- cal deals with foreign nations"
 Following out his policy, Mir Taft
Arizona republican., 1911-02-01

has arraged a reciprocity agreement
 with Canada, which provides for a
 material lowering of our tariff duties
 in exchange for similar concessions by
 to effect without legislation by con- Igress. Do the insurgents meet the
 proposal with halls of delight? Not a hail. They appear to be in blue funk. They don't know whether to march to the front and stand with Taft, or scurry to the rear and do some silent insurging.
 The situation presents difficulties, certainly. The more noisy of the in surgent statesmen have won consider able renown for themselves by beat ing the air in denunciation of the tariff, indulging in glittering general ities of criticism. and inviting public attention to their own patriotism.
 But-recprocity with Canada on the lines laid down by. MT. Taft calls for a lowering of duties on certain things produced in the states and districts of these insurgents as well as in the country generally. Wherefore they are in doubt and dfsmay. If they don't stand with the president, they are convicted of insincerity in their clamor for tariff revision. If they do stand with him, they will offend peo- pIe at home They are now up against the proposition that proves itself in every tariff campaign-the average citizen is warmly in favor of tariff revision "downward' for all ar ticles except those which he produces or sells.

d little more than 23 per cent of the republican vote cast. At the general election in June following (1903) Bourne received 3.0oO votes more than Gearin, the democratic candidate for senator. while the state treasurer and other candidate on the republican ticket were elected by 3O.0OO major ity. showing that about 25.OOO repub- licans in the state refused to support Bourne
 A state in which even g per cent of the republican or any other party is bound to a philanthropist like Mir. Bourne deserves special mention. The Oregonization, the Bournefication of the rest of the country is now begun under the sweetest auspices.-New York Sun.

The Democratic Revolt.

Exceedingly significant is the an nOuncement signed by a large number of the leading democrats of Maricopa county which we publish this morning These democrats tersely say:
 We take this method of notifying all concerned that we, the under signed committeeman and members of the democratic party of Arizona, do not recognize or acknowledge the pro- posed constitution for Arizona as be- ing the work of the democratic party Of Arizona
 This announcement signifies that growing for weeks in the democratic ranks against the socialist -populist constitution framed by the convention has openly manifested itself Nor is this spirit confined to Maricopa coun- ty. It is showing in every county of the territory, more or less openly. It is shown in Pima county, by the pub lication yesterday of an announce ment similar to the one we publish. signed by the leading democrats of Tucson. The oldtime leaders of the democratic party in Cochise. in Gra- ham, and in Yavapai. are writing to Phoenix that they do not propose to follow longer the leadership of so- cialists and populists who. in the name of democracy, framed a consti- tuition inimical to statehood and in contradiction of democratic principles.
 No citizen of Maricopa county who has lived here long enough to acquire the right to vote needs to be told who are the signers of the announcement we publish. They are men who have always been foremost in local and ter ritorial work for the democratic par ty. They loyally supported the demo- cratic ticket the last campaign But in supporting that ticket they were working for the advancement of the democratic party-not for socialism. They elected their candidates to the constitutional convention. They saw their delegates over-ridden in the convention by the socialists. and they have concluded that the time has come to voice their objection to delivering the democratic party, bound hand and foot, into the controlling hands of shrewd socialist leaders.
 These democrats want statehood They are not inclined to see Arizona lose statehood, merely in order that socialists and fake reformers may there after have an tissue" here and else where wherewith to keep up a turmoil. |

Clark Again?

Dispatches from Helena state that the democratic deadlock in the legis- lature of that state has tempted the Hon. William A. Clark to offer himself as Moses to lead his brethren out of the wilderness, and that it is we'll within the possibilities that he will be elected senator. '--
 To achieve another election from Montana would be notable feat for the former senator. He has built

Obituary.

Alma E. Conoyer was born at
Civil Bend, Missouri, June 23rd,
1869, and died at LosAngeles, Cal
ifornia, July 5, 1911. She had
been ill for nearly a year, but a
few weeks ago she went to Los
Angeles and the climate seemed
TO benefit her health. Mr.. Arm
strong was arranging his business
affairs so that he might move to
LosAngeles when he received a
message calling him to her bed
side.
At the age of la she united with
the M. E, church and since her
conversion had ever followed the
teachings of the Christ in thought
and action.
The deceased was married to G.
A. Armstrong, at Pattonsburg,
Missouri, September 7th, 1892. To
this union were born three chill
dren- Walter, aged IL: Dorathea,
aged 6, and Helen, aged 4.
Mrs. Armstrong is we'll known
by many people at Liberal and
also at Hooker where she has been
living for a number of years.
With all with whom she became
acquainted there was a friendship
which was true and enjoyable. She
is survived by her husband and
three children; her mother, Mrs.
Alice Conover; three sisters, Mrs.
j. r. Bolin, Mrs. H. w. Wheaton,
both of Liberal, and Mrs. Frank
Longenecker of Lamar, Missouri;
three brothers, Chas. S. .Conover
of Kansas City and Sam and Bert
Conover of Seattle, Washington.
A large number of friends and
relatives attended the funeral SER
vice which was conducted by w.
T. Ward at the J. R. Bolin resi-
dence Saturday afternoon. The
tribute paid to the memory of the
the departed and the words of
consolation spoken to the bereayed
by Bro. Ward were indeed COM
forting. There were many floral
tokens which testified to the love
and esteem In which Mrs. ARM
strong was held.

TAUGHT ToLsToI KINDNESS
Serf Gave the Famous Russian, Then
a Child, a Lesson Which He
Never Forgot.

Objection to violence and cruelty,
which was so characteristic of Toll
stoi, began, according to Aylmer
Maude'S "Life," in early childhood.
In short story he wrote for the use
Of school children he tells how he
once used to ride the old horse, Ra-
ven, after his brothers had each had
a turn on it; and how, since Raven
was too tired to move from the
stable, he beat it till he broke his
switch on its sides. He then de-
manded a stouter switch from the
serf in charge, but the man replied:
"Ah, master, you have no pity
Why do you beat him9 He is twen-
ty years old and is tired out; he can
hardly breathe. Why, for horse,
he is as old as Timofeyitch"-a very
old peasant living on the place.
~You might as well get on limo
feyitch's back and drive him beyond
his strength like that, with a switch.
Would you feel no pity for himT"
1 thought of Timofeyitch and
hardened to the man. l got off the
horses back and when noticed how
its streaming sides were working and
how heavily it breathed through its
nostrils, swishing its thin tail, l UNI
derstood how hard it was for it. Till
then l had thought it was as happy
as l was myself. And 1 felt so sor-
ny for Raven that l began to kiss his
sweaty neck and to beg his pardon
for having beaten him
Since then l have grown up, but

Tune-HOt Time In Old Town

JAYHAWKER SONG
Tune-Hot Time In Old Town
Don't you hear the voices from the west,
The bells that ring, the song that we love best?
It tells Of life in free and happy plain,
And OF a warm heart at the old home tonight.

Hear 1t! hear 1t! so strong and so clear
The bells they ring and the wild Drairies sing
For the Jayhawker boys and the Jayhawker
girls
All find warm heart in the old home tonight.
To the school boards we would say:
The County Normal Institute is the
training school for our teachers and
we are very anxious to raise the pro-
fesslonal standard of every teacher.
Please help me do this by seeing or
writing your teacher, urging prompt
attendance at the Normal Institute
now in session In Liberal. The pupils
in your district deserve the best. AS
is the teacher, so Is the school. Let
US have the best. If the teacher you
have in view to teach your school this
year knows more than those attend
ing the Normal, 1t is his or her duty
to come and give of their abundance;
If they know less they should come
and learn, not only for their own
sakes but for the boys and girls whom
they are to teach this year. We have
two of the best instructors in the
state, Prof. A. L. Stickel of Winfield,
Kansas and Miss Jennie Davy OF An
thony, Kansas. Miss Davy is one of
the literary staff OF the Western
School Journal, one of the best edu-
cational papers in the country. She
has been county superintendent of
Harper county for many years. She
is brimful of methods and ideas for
the rural schools. You will miss it
by not being in her classes. Prof.
Stickel leaves our public school this
year and goes to Winfield to teach In
the NJ. E. College, one OF the best
schools in our state. 1t is also called
the Southwestern College. No teach
er can be under their influence one
month and not 60 out better teach
err. We would invite the school board
to visit the Normal and see the
teachers at work.
KANSAS SONG.
There's starry flag enshrined within my
heart
IT'S the falrest flag that waves In any mart
On that banner first and best
One bright star out-gleams the rest
It's the star that stands for glowing, growing
Kansas
CHORUS
OF Kansas sunny Kansas am dreaming
No matter where my wandering stepsmay go
Mid her skies the star of hope is ever beaming
In Kansas where the sunAowers grow.
Farist Liberty thy breath is in the breeze,
That stirs the sweetest music from the trees
| IT'S Equallty's bright strain
Echoes Oft and yet again
They are men who breathe the air of stirring
Kansas
CHORUS
The bitter storms may sweep her vast domain
Yet her skies are ever clearer for the rain
And thro all her stormy past,
Bluest domes have come at last
For they're struggling to the stars In plucky
Kansas.

MRS. MCR WILL BE
TRIED FEBRUARY
So District Attorney R Lee Garland Tetls ihe
New erIeans item.
WILL Be HARD TO GET JURY
Mckee Family Divided, Children Being vim
Relatives and Parents IN Slate
Of Texas.

The case has been set for
February. The case will be tried
then.
District Attorney R. Lee Gar
land is quoted by the New Or
leans Item to have made the
above statement to a reporter Of
that paper, while in New Orleans
last week.
The Item comments that this
statement will dispell any idea
which might have been enter
tanned that the State had aban-
doned the case against Mrs. Nc
Rec for the killing of young Al
Ian Garland. in Opelousas last
Fall.
Mrs. McRee was tried in
October, and a mistrial was en-
tered, the jury standing eight
for conviction and four for ac-
quittal.
From another source, Says the
Item, it is learned that the Me-
Rec family divided Immediately
after the unsuccessful conclusion
of the trial. Valera McRee, the
pretty little girl, whose presence.
in the court room undoubtedly
worked upon the synpathies of
some of the jurors as well as the.
spectators, has been sent to some
of the relatives Of her father in
Mississippi.
Mrs. McRee. released on bond,
has gone with her husband to.
Texas, where he IS at work on a
new railroad. Rowan McRee.
has gone to the home Of another
relative.
The pretty Nj Cree cottage has
been sold.
The coming trial of the McReeI
case is likely TO be even more
sensational than the first one.
Members of the Garland family
have stated that all of the eyi-
dence in their possession was not
put into evidence at the trial. It
is probable that at the next trial
every bit of evidence that can bel
secured or has been secured will
be placed before the jury, or an
effort will be made to get it be-
fore the jury.
That it will be even more diff
fcult to secure a jury for the
new trial than at the original
one is believed by those familiar
with the strength of sentiment
entertained by those of opposite
views in the case in Opelousas.
The case has been widely gene
rally discussed in Opelousas, and
most of the inhabitants of the
little city have formed opinions
Of one sort or another. .
Pay your poll tax before next.
