MAHONEY WOULD TIP
DRILLERS AT OIL WELL

Joe Mahoney, original oil man OF
the Liberal field, wants an oil well
and he wants it right now, so ne has
hit upon plan to speed things up.
He proposes to lease up several
thousand acres and put the leases
in escrow to be presented to the
drillers providing they bring in an
oil we'll or gas well within 12O days.
He has already secured several nun
dred acres of leases and has the prom
Use of others.
Joe thinks that with the added in
centive furnished by the block Oh
acreage the driller will speed up the
work. In this we believe he is right
for there is trait of human nature
which makes US all work harder Tor
prize.
If you have some Unbiased acre
age. see Joe and give him forty or
an eighty and help the good work
along.

ENSIGN BANK ORGANIZED

Geo. d. Hall and Linn Frazier went
over to Ensign Monday for the pur.
pose of organizing The Ensign State
Bank, now known as The Peoples
State Bank.
The following officers were elect
ed: Linn Frazier, president; A. o.
Hamilton, vice president; R. E.
Mathews, Cashier; Geo. Daugherty,
Asst. Cashier. The Board of Direct
ors were elected as follows: w. A.
Coate, Chairman; ]. M. Dowel1, A.
o. Hamilton, W. D. Davis, Geo. D.
Hall, Linn Frazier, o. v. Ray.
The bank name was changed from
The Ensign State Bank to The Peo-
ples' State Bank. The capital stock
was reduced from $4,000 to $751;
900. All of the paper that is consid-
cred doubtful has been taken out of
the bank and everything has been
done to make this sound banking in
stitution, and there is no doubt that
the bank will now enjoy big pat
ronage, especially when it is known
that there is more than million dol
lars in wealth behind the institution.

HENRY TUCKER BUYS
MAJESTIC THEATER
Owner of Tucker Theater Will Con-
duct Second Playhouse IN
This City.

Henry Tucker, owner of the Tuck
er Theater, has made deal whereby
he comes into possession Of the Ma
jestic Theater on West Second street.
The house will be closed next week
while repairs are being made and a
general cleaning and overhauling CIV
en- the building. When this is done
the theater will be opened and con-
Quoted.
Henry has made success OF the
Kansas avenue theater and given
Liberal entertainment second to none
and with his experience and the fac

that the change will work to the ad-
vantage of Liberal and its territory.
Mr.. Tucker takes possession next
Monday and when he announces the
opening will likely play to larger
business than ever before.

RUMOR SAYS KHAN HAD
MEETING LAST NIGHT
Indications Stronger Than Ever That
That Organization Is at Work
in Vicinity.

Once more we hear the inquiry "did
the Klan have a meeting last night
Once more we can but answer, 1--WE
have heard they did" Street gossip
is that there was some sort of assem-
blage in pasture east of Liberal last
night, although we canont vouch for
the truthfulness of the report.
There has been much argument pro
and con the past week as to the mer-
its of the Klan. No one openly cham
pions the organization, while many
condemn it. It is claimed an organi-
zation has been perfected here with
colse to 100 members.
The Democrat has been censured for
its attitude the past two weeks and the
claim has been made that fear was
the motive which prompted us in our
stand. This is hardly fair, for the
Democrat usually knows where it
stands on such questions and no one
can accuse US of being more or less
frank in saying what we believe to be
right.
If we knew that the Klan was not
a good thing we would say it was not,
but not being in position to judge we
do not believe it justice to make the
statement. Neither have we COM
mended the organization. We know
the claims which are made for it, and
in the list are many we could sincere
ly indorse, and until such time as we
are able to determine that these claims
are not sincere we shall be compelled
to withhold judgment.
However we are willing that both
sides have their chance in these col
umns. We have placed at the dispos-
al of Rev. Henry space or resume
of his sermon last Sunday night. If it
be true that there is an organization
here, and it is the desire of the men,
bership that it be accorded space for
reasonable clean statement of facts
we shall grant it. We will not per-
nit anything of an objectional nature
wholesome discussion would be well
coined.

DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE

How to present on the screen, with
that marvellous spirit of fantastic
humor in which Mark Twain con-
ceived it, the moving array Of
gorgeously colored story-this was
the task that confronted the makers
Of "A Connecticut Yankee in King
Arthur's Court" The result is .
vivid realization of the opportuni-
ties presented, and as the spectator
sits in his theatre chair he is car
ried, in a twinkling, from the rich
appointments of luxurious Con-
necticut home of today back into
the pictured panoply of medieval
pomp and display. And to him
the spectacle of knights in armor,
men and ladies-in-waiting, combats
in tournament and deeds of chivalry
and valor is presented through the
eyes of that laughter-loving, slang
singing, hard-shelled product of
Twentieth Century civilization, the
Connecticut Yankee, whose breezy
personality pervades and dominates
'e entire scene. We root for him,
fear for him, fight for him and love
III him-for through him the
'ririt of Mark Twain speaks again
for all humanity and for common
sense and fair play.

The vote was so decisive that it is
hoped there will be no further at
tempt to hinder the work. However,
this is now up to any individual who
desires to start something, and the
fellows backing the proposition are
not disposed to think the path will be
easy. In this we may be mistaken,
we hope so.
Liberal needs this road and we are
firmly of the opinion that with the
hearty cooperation of the people Of
the city it can be constructed from
Forgan at the Colorado line.

Majority Almost 6 to for the Issue People of
Liberal Want the Kansas and
Oklahoma Completed.
VOTE WAS GOOD FOR A SPECIAL ELECTION
While Only 553 Votes Were Cast, Only IS Were
in Opposition to the Proposition.

That the people of Liberal are
willing to back o. P. Byers in his
endeavor to build railroad between
Liberal and Forgan was attested on
Tuesday when out of 553 votes cast
only So expressed opposition to the
bond issue for this purpose.
The day was a busy one for those
favoring the bonds. Early in the
morning parade of people from Ar
cher, Pleasant Valley, Woods and
Hugoton, and possibly one or two
cars from Baca County, Colorado, pa
raded the streets with banners bear
ing the words, eve want the X. q
o." "Stevens County for Byers, Why
Not Liberal" "Baca for Byers," and
"Vote for the Bonds" The occupants
Of the cars carried horns which they
footed vigorously as the parade
passed through the streets, and they
visited every section of the city.
This set the people of Liberal to
thinking. They reasoned that if all
these people from the country, and
I'll good friends of Liberal, wanted
he road so badly and were satisfied,
We should be.
The opposition did not show up on
election day and the work of the sup
porters was not combatted. tt was
conceded that the bonds would carry
but no one dreamed that the majority
would be so great.

KEEP WELFARE
Continued from PAGE One)

Il am glad, however, to tell the wo-
men of Maine what my record is on
the questions referred to. and the
record Of a public official should be
more convincing than his promises.
AS a member of the legislature for
five terms l consistently have favored
the expansion of our state health de-
partment, have advocated the ex-
tension Of our social welfare work.
have supported every move to care
for the States dependents and have
done everything in my power to ad-
vance the cause Of education in
Maine.
''As governor I unhesitately signed
appropriation bills amounting to
S711,76S.56 for our health department
and private hospital aid; s532,732.22
for our welfare work, including Mo-
theirs Aid and Neglected and De-
pendent Children; S669,056.59 for the
Home for Feeble Minded at Pownal:
S135,oo50 to protect the milk supplies
Of cities and towns in testing tuber-
cular cattle; S6,20472S66 for schools
including the normal schools and
academies; s930.0O7.sS for the three
State tubercular sanatoriums; $780,
6G0.95 for charity work. pensions to
the blind and similar items, exclu-
sively under the executive depart
ment; and 1859, 9G6.93 for the State
insane hospitals.
These appropriations are the larg-
est ever approved by any governor Of
Maine for the purposes mentioned
nd Cnnal- for fhnr,cp1y-nc no
lieve are approved by the people Of
this State. l have also followed up
the expenditure of these appropria-
tions so that the State would receive
full benefit therefrom. and have kept
in constant touch with the work of
the institutions and departments.
Notwithstanding these appropria-
tions. the direct State tax. eXclud-
ing war purposes, averages for Il
months lower than it was before the
war.
when it appeared that the work
for Mothers Aid, for dependent and
neglected children and for the eradi
cation of tuberculosis in dairy cattle
would suffer because the legislature
failed to appropriate sufficient funds,
on the initiative of the governor and
council, there was taken from the
State contingent fund s142,114.S1 to
carry on the three items of work re-
ferred to and we did not want this
work to be curtailed for lack Of funds.
Throughout my term of Office l
have taken a deep interest in the
State departments and institutions
hat haa n
educational work, and have done my
best to interest the citizens of the
State in them so that they would
give these departments and institu-
lions their endorsement.
Il have addressed audiences in ev-
cry county in the State, from the
great gathering of thousands at the
Statewide health meeting in Port
land to small audiences in rural
