Sees Merger Of Factions.

That the Republican and Progress
sive parties will be together in 1916 In
the fight on their common foe. Democ-
racy, was the prediction made by SEN
ator Poindexter of Washington, the
only member Of the Progressive party
In the senate.
Il do not think the Progressive
party will name a candidate in 1916"
he said. Il think progressive type
of Republican will be named. that both
parties will get behind him. and that
he will be elected.
"Of course 1t will be impossible for
the people who voted for Roosevelt
two years ago to support a reactionary
II one is nominated by the Republic
ans, and such a course would be fatal
to any getting together Of the two par
ties. think and hope that this will
be fully realized by all Republicans"

Wickersham Sees Victory.

Former Attorney General George w.
Wickersham Of New York, who was
in the Taft cabinet, can see nothing
but Republican victory next year
Everything is running to the Repub-
licans." said General Wickersham
"and unless something unforeseen de-
velops to defect the current. the Re-
publicans must elect their ticket. The
people all over the country are dissat
isfied with the way the Democrats
have conducted the government. The
president is not popular. the party is
not popular. his party's policies are
not popular. and the legislation passed
by the Democratic congress is not
popular. With all these conditions con.
fronting the voters, how is it possible
for the Democrats to be returned to
power? .
with Republican success assured, 1t
is yet impossible to forecast who may
be the next president" continued Mr..
Wickersham. 1T is anybody's race for
the Republican nomination. But 1t is
certain that before long sentiment will
crystalline around some man and that
the nominee of the Republican conven.
ton will be a strong and winning
choice"

Republican Guidance Needed.

The Democrats blame the war
They harp upon that one string. Yet
the enormity of their financial excess
is a fact that cannot be eradicated.
The country has an unproductive and
discouraging tariff law. an unwieldy
and little serviceable currency law; an
inquisitofial income tax law, and a
burdensome so called war tax law. Yet
it stands in the place of the money
lender begging-or presently will do
so-for funds. The story OF the last
congress does not make pleasant read
ing. Mr.. Gillett is right in saying that
the trails of revenue failures and prof
ligacy lead to the executive chambers
and point to the president and his cab
met as primarily responsible. 1t is
unfortunate that the country should
not now have the opportunity of ex.
pressing itself. so as to turn its affairs
over to the competent Republicans
and to discharge the incompetent Dem
ocrats.

Cripple Creek, COlo.-lne outP\
the mines of the Cripple Creek ais-s
trict for the month of March is the
highest in many years, and 1t is prob
able that the valuation has never
been exceeded at any time. The fig

bullion value of s1,9S6, 1896.

In the country's History.

overdrawn his account Three years
ago when the Democrats met In Balti-

waste OF the money wrung from the
people by oppressive taxation through
the lavish appropriations of recent Re
publican congresses" and they prom
ised to return to that simplicity and
economy which BELTS democratic
government" There was surplus OF
$l66. 6.O00,000 in the treasury when the
Democrats came into power. They
feared surplus and proceeded to re-
duce it both by checking the inflow OF
revenue and increasing the outgo OF
expenditures, and Chairman Fitzger-
aid now points to the danger Of huge
deficit. the issue of bonds. and the pos
two years the Democratic congress
has appropriated s2.231 100000. or
nearly 5000 100000 more than its most
extravagant Republican predecessor.
and the administration made strenu-
Gus efforts to secure about 500. 900. 900
more. This same Democratic con-
gress changed customs taxes which
did not reduce the cost of living, and
introduced new and vexatious taxes
which call for an inquisition of every
mans income. Then it added more
vexatious war taxes in time of peace.
and at the close finds that 1t has used

RENT FARMS ARE SCARCE.
Prosperous Conditions Around Garden
City Make Land Hard to Get.

Garden City, Kan, Jan. 25.-West-
ern Kansas is at last coming into its
own. This is proven by the increas-
ing demand for farms for rent in this
locality. Nearly every farm north and
west of Garden city that is improved
is rented. A colony of French farm
ers from Cloud county will move here
in the spring and try irrigated farm
ing. They are all we'll to do, have
good teams and farm implements to
work with. If satisfied with the sum-
mer's work they will purchase farms
Of their own.
In addition to the fact that farms
for rental purposes are in demand, the
Sugar and Land company of this place
comes forward with notice to mer-
chants and bankers stating that the
tenants that the company has carried
for the past two or three years have
paid III their Indebtedness to the COM
pany and in the future will be able to
arrange for their own credit.
Many of these tenants located on
the Sugar company's farms three and
four years ago without capital. The
company furnished them with team
and tools and stood good for their
grocery bills. Now these same ten
ants have from $4,000 to $1,000 worth
of stock and farming implements Of
their own.
