RoosEvELT AND KANSAS.

Every newspaper poll on presiden-
tiaI candidates taken in Kansas
shows a large majority for Roose-
welt. II was to be expected. Kansas
always did like the Colonel and
likes him now There is something
about his breeziness that appeals to
the Kansas temperament. And he
made a good president too. Kansas
and the United States were proud
of him. He has his faults but, as
the country newspaper obituary says
who of US has not? However, the
fact remains that carrying Kansas
does not mean either nomination or
election. Kansas has 20 delegates
in the convention; New York alone
has 90. New York has as many as
a half dozen interior states. Unless
Roosevelt can carry New York and
most OF the east he cannot be nomi-
mated; unless he can carry them In
November he cannot be elected. This
far there is no indication that New
York IL for him. Every New York
paper except Golfers Weekly is
against him as are most of the up
state papers. II Roosevelt had New
York as strongly as he has Kansas
his nomination and election would
be sure now. Whether or not he
can get 1t will probably decide his
candidacy.
Kansas can be for Roosevelt and
then become peeved II he does not
win at Chicago and vote Democratic
which would probably mean Dem
ocratic legislature and state officer
ship. That would be bad thing
for Kansas.
1t can be for Taft and II Roose-
welt is nominated throw up its hat
for the Rough Rider and declare that
was what 1t wanted all the time and
elect everything on the Republican
ticket.
Taft has made good president
none better in the history Of the
United States.
Thus far 80 delegates to the Ma
tional Republican convention have
been selected--all for Taft.

MAKING SPLENDID RECORD.

The Abilene Monument Co. IL build
ing up large business here and
material 10 now being received that
will give people of this territory a
handsome assortment Of work to Sc
.lect from. They buy all their ma
terial In car lots. One car was re-
ceived short time ago and at that
time three more cars were being fin
ished in the east for immediate

enough to supply their great de-
mand for material so another car
load was ordered last week. G. II.
Benham, local manager, says that
Dickinson county is the best field
in western Kansas in this line as
the people take great pride In beau
tifying their cemetery lots and buy
first class work. Over $4,000
worth OF material Is already sold
for spring delivery. When In need
of any cemetery work don't fail TO

BY all rights Taft should be re-
nominated. His fairness. his hon
esty and the high level of business
integrity and prosperity that has
marked his administration deserves
the approval OF the country and II
ought to appeal to Kansas. It will
be q long time before the west will
have better friend Inc white house
than Taft or the country more
worthy chief executive. And the
chances the country over now favor
his having second term. He seems
to be in favor In the East. the South
and . large part or the West.
Kansas should use its head and Y
it favors Roosevelt. provided he Il
! candidate. 1t should not feel griev.
ed should Taft win, but line up for
