GOVERNOR STUBS. PROPHET.
Perhaps the New York newspapers
gave considerable prominence to the
opinions of Governor Stubs that the
South New York. Pennsylvania and a
variety Of other places are exceedingly
! favorable to the efforts being made to
drag Colonel Roosevelt into the presi-
Dental arena, on the theory that a
prophet IS rot without honor. save in
his own country. and in his own house.
OF truth the political visions of Mr..
Stubs have not hit the mark with any
degree of accuracy in Kansas of late.
He was cock sure that one Guyer would
win the special congressional election
in the Second district. He was equally
certain that similar success would
attend the congressional aspirations Of
Martin in the Seventh district. And
these fond hopes turned out to- have Il
place among the dreams that don't come
true
As matter of fact, though. the YER
satile governor of Kansas doesn't seem
to be entitled to much honor as 4
prophet even in a country not his own.
AS political physician he does not
appear to be exceedingly adept in his
diagnosis of the public pulse wherever
he may be- Take his recent pronounce
ment on the favorable attitude of New
York Republicans toward the efforts
to force the nomination of Colonel
Roosevelt. On the evening of the day
that the governor gave voice to these
views, the executive committee of the
New York Republican county commit
tee held meeting and unanimously
adopted resolutions endorsing the ad-
miEistration of President Taft and de-
claring for his denomination. The chair
man of this committee stated further
that New York county would send
solid Taft delegation to the Chicago
convention. One day after this meet
ing of the New York county commit
tee, the Republican general committee
of Kings county, Which comprises
Brooklyn, held a meeting. Resolutions
were unanimously adopted endorsing
the denomination of President Taft.
These two counties nave a joint dele
cation in New York state Republi-
can convention that is almost preponder-
ant. The indications are that New
York state will send solid Taft dele
cation to the coming Republican ma
tional convention.
And yet, Governor Stubs of Kansas
goes to New York, and after being
there a few hours. gives out an inter-
view in which he says that New York
favors the nomination of Colonel
Roosevelt. One reason. too, why the
New York Republicans are not favor
ing the nomination of Colonel Roose-
Welt is that they are even better ac-
quainted with him than is Governor
Stubbs. They have always been ac-
customed to take him at his word He
has said repeatedly that he is not
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton That is sufficient for the New
York Republicans and especially when
they remember that he has also said
he would not accept another presiden-
tial nomination. Then besides. they
believe. a do almost all of the honest
and fair-minded Republicans. that
President Taft's magnificent record en-
titles him to second term.

TO HEAR BRYAN

E. G. Schmidt, w. f. Sans, j. j..
Hamilton and ]. d. Byers drove to
Yates Center to hear Bryan speak Sat
urday afternoon in MrSchmidt's Ford.
The party was composed of two Re
publicans and two Democrats, just so
as to keep thing fairly even, but the
Republicans came back thinking that
they had the better OF the bargain,
for in Mr.. organs speech he said that
he would give Democrats for Repub-
licans in the ratio of sixteen to one
But he followed this up by saying eff
could pick the Democrats and the
Republicans.
The Chanute men, both of this party
and the others who went over on the
Santa Fe, were very enthusiastic in
their praise of Bryan's speech. He
talked mainly of Politics and Pro
gress both in the United States and in
foreign countries.

WATER EQUALS
THAT FROM ABILENE
Analysis Reveals Wonderful
Curative Properties Of
Local Well.

Chanute has at its door a mineral
water which, according to Professor
Young of the State University, is
one of the best in the United States
for certain stomach ailments.
The we'll is located on the Stone
farm one mile south Of Austin, now
occupied by R. w. Phelps. The
was drilled last winter to depth of
I65 feet. Drilling above the water
sand lies hard limestone forma-
ton several feet in thickness. The
water is not at all dlsagreeable and
when first coming from the we'll
bubbles continuously showing the
presence of carbon dloxide. Ac-
cordlne to the analysis the water
contains alkaline aud suliene quail
ties as we'll as bicarbonlle of soda.
Professor Young recommends it for
practically all stomach disorders as
well as rheumatism
DIR. R. A Light who was among
the first to recognize the curative
properties of the water is naturally
elated at the analysis and states that
it excels the famous abilina water.
A number of Chanute people are
now using the water with highly
beneficial results.
