Judge Cheadle Of Fergus county. the
commander-in-chie of the progress.
sives. 1t was Judge Cheadle who
brought to the attention of the con.
vention just what had been done in
the credentials committee to stitle
progressive sentiment and to curtail
progressive power. Judge Cheadle
explained that his motions had not
been recognized, that he and his side
had not been given the common cour-
tesy Of being allowed to state their
cause, even that it had been refused
the right to take evidence before the
committee. Judge Cheadie did not
resort to abuse or ranting OratOry in
his explanations to the convention.
His was a quiet, forceful way that
was really charmingly simple. Of

A NEW OCCUPANT OF THE TRIPOD.

Last week the Harlowton News
changed hands again, with A. G..
Graves, Benz. Urner and Andy An
derson AS the new proprietors.
Our warm admirer, Andy Ander-
son, has mounted the editorial tripod
and we welcome him to the journal
istlc ranks Of Meagher county news
paperdom.
The first editorial squib dashed off
is the following:
Attorney General Galen hasgiv-
Ell his opinion, that in the crea-
ton Of new counties in the state,
no town or city can be the county
seat without it is Incorporated.
Get busy Iledgesyille and Judith

WHAT TAFT THOUGHT OF TEDDY.

Four years ago William II. Taft
said this OF President Roosevelt:
The confidence that the common,
plain people, including the wage earn
er, have had in Theodore Roosevelt
as their representatives and defender
has been most perfectly placed. for
there never was Il champion more sin
cere in support OF their real interests,
and yet there never was friend
franker in his statement to them of
the unpleasant truths that OCCASION
ally they ought to be told.
Mr.. Roosevelt understands the
plain people about as well rs Lincoln
did, shares their feelings and gives
accurate expression to them, hence
his marvellous hold upon the great
body Of the people, which has con-
tinued to exist in undiminished
strength i'll spite of the criticism
heard OF him and his methods in
quarters more conspicuous than real
~ significant.

The Cause Of Mankin ind.

Our task AS Americans is to
strive for social and industr rial
justice, achieved through the
genuine rule Of the people. This
is Olr end. our purpose. The
methods for achieving the end
are merely expedients, to be fin
ally accepted or rejected. ac-
cOrding as experience shows
that they work well or i'll. But
i'll our hearts we must have this
lofty purpose, and we must
strive for it in all earnestness
and sincerityS or our work will
come to nothing.
In order to succeed we need
leaders Of inspired idealisn,
leaders to whom are granted
great visions. who dream great
~ and strive to make their
dreams come true; who can
kindle the people with the fire
from their own burning souls.
The leader for the time being,
whoever he may be, is but All
instrument. to be used until
broken then to be cast aside;
and if he is worth his salt he
will care no more when he is
broken than a soldier when he
is sent where his life is forfeit,
in order that the victory may be
won.
In the long fight for righteous
ness the watchwOrd for Ill Of us
is spend and be spent. 1t is of
little matter whether amy one
man fails OF succeeds; but the
canse shall not fail, for il is the
cause Of mankind. We, .here in

hope of the world, the fate Of
the coming years; and shame
and disgrace will be ours if in

solve is dim.ned, ii we trail in

HAS AGAIN REVIVED.

Since the opinion OF Attorney Cen
eral Galan has been made public.
which is that any town not incorpor-
ated cannot become Il candidate for
county seat under the new county d.
vision law, the town lot boosters ut
HarloWton have turned themselves
lose upon a long suffering public
again.
Like the fly, the grasslopper, the
mosquito and other pests, that lie dor
mant during the cold weather and are
brought back to life by the same
warm rays of the sun that revive the
beautiful flowers of the field, this
county division pest has again APP
peared.
Knowing now that they havea clnch
on the county seat, the only thing
they are lighting for. the town lot
boosters are holding meetings in diff
ferent places i'll the proposed new
county and telling the people that
their taxes will not be any larger in
the new county than they are now.
They are making their strong point
with the farmers by promising them
more money for building roads than
the present county can give, and that
appeals strongly to every man who
has to haul his grain to market over
the miserable highways as now.
The new county can bond or is
sue warrants to the extent only of )
per cent of the assessed valuation.
The new county will have say So
oOO. 600 worth Of taxable property, 5
per cent of which would be $3.50, 900.
It will cost about that amount to get
the county organized and in running
shape, the Harlowton town lot boost
ers to the contrary Notwithstanding.
If they raised more money for roads
and bridges it would have to come
from direct taxation and it would not
be more than We have at present for
THAT purpose. 1t stands to reason if
Harl0wtOn if strong enough to bring
about its selfish desire to divide the
county it would be strong enough to
divert large portion Of the debt lin
1t to building magnificent court

Merchants to Establish
Mail Order Branches.

A campaign has been begun to
induce the retail merchants of
Kansas to reap the benefits of the
new parcels post law and at the
same time fight the big mail or
der houses by establishing small
mail order branches of their own
business.
The merchants of Kansas are
being urged to organize the mail
order department before the first
of the year, when the parcels
post law goes into effect. 1t has
been suggested that the merch-
ants get together in the different
towns and inaugurate a system
of judicious advertising in their
local papers with descriptive
matter concerning goods offered
for sale and special bargains.
The new parcels post law will
give the merchant an opportun-
ity to more than compete, so far
as rates are concerned, with large
mail order houses, distantly To-
Gated. The retail merchant can
cover a comparatively large zone,
encircling his town, at an ex-
ceedingly small rate of post. The
large mail order houses are gen.
orally located at towns much far
Their away from the retail mer-
chants clientele and the post is
relatively greater. Then the re-
tail merchant can give more ra-
pid service because of his prox-
unity to his customers.
