Clifford Pinchot in a special at
Akron, Ohio, said: Whatever is
right and vital in the republican
party today is progressive. What
ever is not progressive is dying or
dead. The republican party can
not live half-dead and half alive.
1t cannot continue half reactionary
and half progressive. We shall
live if we free ourselves from the
gangrene of blind devotion to
things that have gone by" Mr..
Pinchot said the republican party
cannot afford to risk its chance of
victory in 1912 merely upon the
hope of democratic hlunders. Time
was when that was reasonably
safe.

JOHN A. MARTIN


The committee appointed to in
vestigate land frauds in the Philip
pines decided that those engaged
in the purchase of the friar lands
acted under the legal opinion rem
dered by Attorney General Wick
ersham and were, therefore, justi-
fed. The committee incidentally
intimated there should be some leg
islation by congress to prevent any
more land grabbing in the future
by non-residents.
Not daunted, however, Mr.. Mar
tin has started in to investigate
some apparent land grabs nearer
home. The following is from a
special to the News:
"In the drowsy hours of early
Saturday, Representative Martin
of Colorado arose to address the
house upon few conservation
matters in general and ended up
by forcing through his resolution
introduced some time ago, calling
upon the secretary of the interior
for all papers and executive orders
relating TO the use of the waters of
the Rio Grande and dealings with
Mexico in that regard.
According to the order of the
house, there will be placed at the
disposal Of Martin, when congress
again convenes, long-desired infor-
nation which will perhaps admit
of solution of the vexatious prob
lem of water distribution whereby
many irrigation interests of Colo
RADIO have suffered. With the
paper is demanded list of all pri-
vate irrigation projects to be in
itiated from the waters of the Rio
Grande and it's tributaries in Colo
RADIO and New Mexico above the
Engle dam project.
"The resolution stated as its
object the securing of all available
information concerning the sew
eral conflicting claims to the Rio
Grande waters.
THE committee on irrigation, to
which this resolution was referred"
said Representative Martin, "suf
fered from lame duck chairman,
and l had about worn out the doc
ument carrying it around in my
pocket. | will wear out the infor-
nation l hope to obtain trying to
work out some solution of the Rio
Grande river blockade, whereby
the people of Colorado are denied
the use Of even the food waters of
this stream. l am going to make
an exhaustive study of this SUBJ
ject."

PINCHOTIsM

PlNCHOTISM
The following paragraphs are
from Pinchot's, Akron, Ohio,
speech:
I'm 1912 the nominee himself
will be more than half the plat
form. 1t is obvious, therefore,
that the republican candidate
should be elected with peculiar
care, and that he must have GER
tain indispensable qualifications.
First he must have wisdom,
courage, and genuine devotion to
the welfare of the people.
Second, he must be progressive,
and stand for popular government.
"Third, he must be a leader,
whom the voters will follow with
enthusiasm.
Fourth, he must offer the party
he is to lead fair chance to win.
"These requirements are not un-
reasonable. No man not reao-
tionary can object to the simple
standard they contain. And no
man whatever can doubt that I'M
less the next republican national
convention dominates a man who
meets this test, the party is sure
to suffer. For in these days the
independent voters are increasing
by leaps and bounds.
Party ties sit more lightly on
the voter today than for many
years, and that is well. In the last
election many a republican was
beaten by the refusal of his fellow
republicans to support him rather
than by the opposition of the dem
ocrats. The political unrest of to-
day is merely sign of political
independence, and political indie
pendence holds the promise of free
institutions.
"There are, I believe, many men
who feel as l do. l am republic
can, but am an American first.
/ am republican, but l reserve
the right to vote for what l believe.
l would rather be right than be
regular
1.-The man who always votes a
straight ticket has destroyed his
own political effectiveness. He
has simply counted himself out.
The vote of the always regular re-
publican simply cancels the vote
of the always regular democrat. In
effect the two are paired, and
neither has an influence on the
final result
THE hide-bound regular must
swallow what is set before him.
Down it must go, though it choke
him. Dislikes and misgivings
alike give way at the crack Of the
party whip"

The Big Circus

Twenty-four freight cars brought
the Campbell Brothers circus into
this city at seven o'clock this
morning from Menominee, and
released the suspense of the small
boy, hundreds of his kind being
at the freight yards to witness
that fascinating operation unload
ing a circus.
Soon scores of wagons had trans
ported the paraphenalia to the
circus grounds, and after the erec-
tion of the big tent, preparations
we're made for the parade. About
noon the pageant begun to wend,
its way through the principal
thoroughfares of the city, going
down Wells avenue to the bay and
returning by way of Ludington
street.
A large crowd hastened to the
grounds this afternoon and the at
tendance at the show was more
than satisfying to the management.
The dazzling feature Of the after
noon was the performance of the
Cahill Brothers, aerialists, who
sent a few thrills through the
spectators by the daring character
Of their work. The Morales troupe
Gu the parallel bars are unusually
proficient and brought forth many
comments Of appreciation.
Eight trained elephants are with
the show, and an extensive mena-
gerie. The show goes to Manistique

words which he thought should be
placed over the door of every
church, rescue for the redemption
of the fallen, restraint for those
who are tempted and comfort for
those who are sore in spirit as

not be present, as his home is quar-

WAKING UP
Liberal VIII Do Some Adyer-
tising This Fall.

Tuesday afternoon, Chas. |.
Zirkle of Garden City, arrived with
Simon Zirkle of Garden City, and
J. S. Kirkpatrick and j. j. Miller
of Santa Fe. They are touring the
southwest counties of the state in
the interest of a southwest exhibit
for the Chicago land show. The
Liberal real estate men of course
fell in line, and in less than an
hour had made arrangements for
floor space at the big land show to
be held in Chicago this fall. Chas.
Zirkle is president of the Kansas
Real Estate Dealers Association,
and a hustler for the southwest as
well as for Garden City. Their
car bore the Garden City pennants
and attracted the attention of
everybody along the line. Mr..
Miller, who is editor of the Moni-
tor at Santa Fe, made this Office a
pleasant call, and attended the
laying of the corner stone of the
new church.
The real estate men have taken
up the work of preparing the Sc
ward county exhibit for the state
fair at Hutchinson, and they in
form us that all of the exhibits
must be in place at Hutchinson
not la er than September 16. This
will necessitate all of the good
things from Seward county being
brought in to the Office Of Ellsaes-
ser & Henry before the Is, in or
der to get them in place. 1t is not
only o matter of interest to the
real estate men, but to every resi-
dent and property owner in Seward
county, that we make the best
showing possible. The fair will
display only the best from every |
county in this section of the state. |
Don't be too reluctant about bring |
ing your stuff in. Let the COM
mittee decide on whether or not |
it is good enough to send. There
is but little time left and it is up |
to our people to get busy. Lets
all get busy next week, and pile
up the best exhibit we haye ever
sent away, for the state fair. Much
of this will also be sent to Chicago
for the land show, where pictures
of Seward county farms and farm
scenes will be displayed. Any
thing you can bring in will help the
committee, by giving them wild
er field of things from which to
select the exhibit. The money for |
the float has been subscribed and is
probable that a special train will
be sent from Liberal.

In Serious Trouble.

Joe Kendrick, the we'll known
tailor of this town, was arrested last
Monday morning, charged with enter
ing the store of M. j. Hankins on
Saturday night, previous, with bur-
glarious intent. He had hearing be-
fore Magistrate Peery, and was sent
to the Grand Jury. Application was
made before H. C. Pobst, Conmiss-
ioner, for bail, which was fixed at
$4,000. Kendrick not being able to
furnish the bail was sent to Jail.
Hendricks arrest and the develop
ments at the hearing, caused sensa-
tion here. He was we'll thought of,
and was supposed to be doing good
business. He is well connected as is
also his wife, with some of the best
people here and in Kentucky. His
trouble is attributable, it is said to
the fact that he has been for long
time addicted to the excessive use of
morphine.
The evidence so far adduced in the
case, is chiefly circumstantial, and
will be brought out at the trial.
Great sympathy is expressed on all
sides for all parties concerned.
