FRANKLIN COUNTY REPUBLICAN TICKET The voters of this county have an excellent ticket to vote for at the approaching election—men who will act faithfully and well in their respective capacities, and are clean, upright, honorable and in every way worthy of your support. Note the following: State Senator ... O. O. Wolf. District Judge ... C. A. Smart. Rep. 13th dis... J. M. McWharf. County Clerk ... J. F. Preshaw. County Treasurer ... J. H. Springer. Register of Deeds ... Ed Chenoweth. County Attorney ... Ralph E. Page. Probate Judge ... Walter Pleasant. Sheriff ... H. O. Beetley. Coroner ... V. E. Lawrence. County Supt. ... Etta Joe McCoy. Clerk of Court ... John L. High. Assessor ... J. W. Brinkerhoff. Com. 2d Dist. ... W. B. Lomas. Com. 3d Dist. ... J. F. Berlin. Hon. Ralph E. Page, Republican candidate for county attorney, second term, is a native of Wisconsin, and is an energetic and careful attorney. He has discharged the duties of his office during his term with fairness to all. He has done the work without assistance and has placed in the office of the county treasurer more than $1200 collected from civil penalties, forfeitures and fines. He has been successful in the punishment of crime. Mr. Page is the friend of the poor man and has ever been ready to lend his legal training to the assistance of the worthy. The colored people may test assured that in Mr. Page they have an officer who will deal justly with the matters that come before him and they should rally to his support. The colored people of this county will make no mistake in voting for and supporting Dr. J. M. McWharf, Republican nominee for representative, Thirteenth district. He is a man thoroughly competent to fill the office, and should receive your loyal, patriotic support. Dr. McWharf has held many positions of honor and trust during his thirty years residence in Kansas. He was alderman of the city of Ft. Scott, delegate to county, congressional and state conventions, member of the Baptist State convention for nineteen years, and also president of that body two and one-half years; member Ottawa University board sixteen years, and vice president of the board two years. He was president of the Franklin County Medical society in 1910, and president of the Academy of Science in 1911. He has been more or less actively engaged in the work necessary to make him a valuable man in the House of Representatives. Dr. McWharf believes in a square deal for everyone, regardless of color, and if he is elected your interests will be his interests. --- Walter Pleasant, a resident of Ottawa for many years and well known attorney, is asking to be elected to the office of probate judge. Owing to his knowledge of the Kansas laws and because of his practice before the bar of Franklin county, Mr. Pleasant is exceedingly well qualified for the office which he seeks. The duties of the probate court has to do with the estates of the deceased, the minor, and the insane. The counsel of an attorney is very often required and Mr. Pleasant is fitted for this case if elected as he deserves to be. Walter Pleasant has been a life-long Republican and has always taken an interest in the uplift of politics and the community. No mistake can be made in voting for him at the polls next month. He is a friend of humanity, and believes that the black man deserves the same chance as the white and has always took moral worth and true character by which to measure all men. For sheriff it would have been diffi- ney cult for any party to have selected a com better equipped man than H. O. Beet- cley, who is making the race on the fice Republican ticket this fall. Mr. Beetley is qualified as an officer of the law, both by actual experience in hunting criminals, running down cases and in making arrests, and also in a general understanding of the business methods of the sheriff's office. For three yers Mr. Beetley was a member of the Ottawa police force. For four years he was connected with the Santa Fe's secret service. In both capacities he met up with criminals of various kinds and handled them and their deeds in a manner that gave him the confidence of the people he represented. As an evidence of his courage in performance of duty one example was his entering the restaurant at North Ottawa single handed, a year ago last winter and holding four notorious criminals until the arrival of officers from the city. One of these, Bowers, was both a bank robber and a murderer. While on the city force Mr. Beetley arrested several criminals who were wanted in other counties, and in so doing he has been a help to the state at large. Mr. Beetley pledges himself to an intelligent and economical administration of the sheriff's office and believes that he is thoroughly fitted to fulfill this promise. He has been a resident of Franklin county for ten years, coming here from Garnett. He believes in law enforcement and has shown himself to be aggressive in that line. The importance of the office of state senator makes it imperative that a good man be elected for that place; a man who has nothing at stake except the interests of the people he represents. Dr. O. O. Wolf, the Republican candidate has proved in his previous relations between the state and the people, that he is absolutely fair and unselfish in his work. As a member of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture and secretary of the State Board of Veterinary Examiners he has done excellent service for Kansas. Especially in the latter was his work in the recent plague among horses, a distinct value to the state and a credit to his community. Doctor Wolf was reared a farmer, and is at present operating a farm in this county and naturally has the interests of the farmers at heart. His business takes him among them and he knows the pulse of the rural communities to a certainty. There need be no introduction of O. O. Wolf to the local voters in Ottawa. His life has been spent in this community and he is still a young, though an experienced man. If elected he will be conscientious in his work of giving the people at home the best of representation in the legislature. He should have undivided Republican support. He served as president of the Kansas Improved Stock Breeders Association and in that capacity his acquaintance reached a scope seldom equaled by anyone in the state. He has also been a director and member of the executive committee of the Franklin County Mutual Fire Insurance Company. His business interests have also made him a man of wide acquaintance both throughout the county and the state, and therefore a valuable man to send to the legislature. Especially among stock raisers both in this country and abroad is Mr Wolf well known. In 1900 he traveled in Great Britain, visiting many stock breeders. In Scotland he found a strain of shorthorns, individuals of which he imported as the beginning of one of the best herds ever in Kansas. He was superintendent of the cattle division of the Kansas State Fair in 1911 and 1912. Dr. Wolf's varied experience makes him well qualified to represent not only an agricultural community, but the population of city and town as well. Doctor Wolf is a thorough believer in an economical administration of state affairs and a careful application of state funds to make the taxes as low as consistent with business judgment. If elected he gives promise of following up this belief with actual economical results. ANDERSON COUNTY Mr. C. T. Richardson, of Gainett, is making the race for county attorney on the Democratic ticket. He comes before he voters with a good, clean record, having served in the office before and made an enviable re- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING OCTOBER 25, 1912. cord for dealing out exact justice to all and at the same time tempered with as much consideration to the unfortunate as circumstances would permit. He has many, good, warm friends in his home city and throughout the county, among them a goodly number of colored people. He has been city attorney of Garnett, and the city has never been called to pay costs in any proceedings in which he was connected. Mr. Richardson is an old newspaper man, having at one time edited the Garnett Eagle, where he not only made many friends, but his keen foresight and ready pen brought many good things to the city and county that would otherwise have passed unnoticed. He always had a good word to say for his town and county, an now the people have an opportunity to show their appreciation of what he accomplished for them. Mr. C. F. Houser, of Pomona, Route 1, has been nominated by the Democrats for the office of registrar of deeds, and is in everyway qualified to perform the duties of the office. He is a self made man, coming up through privation without assistance save that of his own. He is a farmer and one of the most highly respected citizens in the county. He had the misfortune to lose an arm, and under this handicap he has continued his upward march on the ladder of success. He has lived in the county for twenty-three years and has a wife and two sons. Mr. Houser is fair to all men regardless of race, color or religion, if elected will serve all alike. Mr. Herman Broker, candidate for county clerk is a man without prejudice and in him the colored people will always find a staid ture friend. Mr. Broker is an excellent book-keeper and an expert accountant, a qualification necessary to render good service to the people. Hon. Ed. T. Riling, Republican candidate for county attorney is one of the best known men in the county. He is a lawyer of marked ability, clean, honorable and square and if elected will perform every duty imposed upon him without fear or favor. White, black, rich and poor, all look alike to Mr. Riling. He is blind to everything save justice and fair play. He can be depended upon to do his duty at any and all times. Mr. Geo. B. McDaniel, Democratic nominee for probate judge is not only worthy, but qualified as well, and if the voters honor him with their confidence, he will serve them honestly, faithfully and well. He has resided in Paula, eight years, coming here THAT JACK JOHNSON ESCAPADE! Decent. Respectable Whites and Blacks will Not Lower Themselves by Giving it Consideration. We are indeed surprised to see so many of our white brethren peeping behind the curtain of the prize ring, cockpit and barroom and working themselves into a frenzy over the doings of the brightest light in this category of actors - Jack Johnson. you and yours. Please keep your Jack and give him what you would demand—a square deal. You have taken everything good the Lord has given us from our mothers, fathers, and daughters down to Jack Johnson, and so why not be fan? You have reduced, raped and outraged women The history of the prize ring is an unprintable story of drunkenness and debauchey of women who seem to crave for and revel in the society of the knights of the roped utina. Jack Johnson being topmost in the profession—conqueror of all comers and goers, the white man's irresistable lust for fame and money made him forget all else and take the "King of Pugdom" and his white wife into their own tanks, while the colored brother stood in amazement and watched them snapping like so many hungry hounds in an effort to shake his fame and fortune. Johnson opened a fine saloon and cafe and even in this venture those who are hounding him now were in charge, the license being held by a white man. His patrons are principally white followers of the red lights and patrons of the green cloth, the price being far too stiff for the average man of color, no matter how strong his desire to enter therein. Now, please don't be hard on a fellow who has lavished his money upon DOUGLAS COUNTY. MIAMI COUNTY from Osawatomie. For several years he and his son, Ray, have been conducting the Paola News and Notion Co., store on the east side of Park Square. Geo. McDaniel is a life long Democrat, and enjoys a wide circle of warm friends among all parties. He is by no means narrow on any matter, and places right above party and all else. His campaign is being waged on clean, honorable and square lines, which is bringing friends to him daily. The colored people have always found in him a staid friend, and they are going to remember him at the polls in next month's election. Mr. C. E. Leibengood, candidate for county treasurer, has resided in Miami County for eight years, and his reputation for honesty, integrity and square dealing is far above reproach. He is a stalwart Republican, and has worked in and out of season for the party's success. If the voters elect him, he will serve them with credit to both himself and the county. The important office of county treasurer should be filled by a careful, painstaking man—one who is a good accountant, and possesses a keen foresight. The calls on the treasurer are numerous, and it requires this kind of a man to protect and keep track of the people's cash. Mr. Leibengood possesses all of these qualifications, and if you want Miami County to have a good treasurer, vote for him. Mr. Leibengood is a native of Pennsylvania, having been born in that state in 1857, and has always been a Republican. He is a proxious farmer and stockman. He has also rendered invaluable service to the community as chairman of the board of education. Mr. Archie E. Shelton is a "home grown product," too well known for us to attempt a lengthy discussion of his career and qualifications for the office of registrar of deeds. He is a true blue Republican, thirty-eight years of age, and a resident on a farm till five years ago, when he removed to the city and went to work as local representative of the Kansas City Star. He has an interesting family consisting of a wife and five children. Mr. Shelton has never asked for office before, but has spent lots of good time helping the other fellow, and we believe it is but just and fair that the pie he passed his way. He is a clean, honorable young man, and the colored people should rally to his support. Mr. Charles G. Blakely, Republican candidate for representative Thirty-fourth district, comprising Second, Third and Fourth wards soothes your vote on November 5th. you and yours. Please keep your Jack and give him what you would demand—a square deal. You have taken everything good the Land has given us from our mothers, fathers and daughters down to Jack Johnson and so why not be fan? You have reduced, raped and outraged women of Jack's race until it is a difficult matter to distinguish a colored person from a white one, and today in the Southland white men are bearing two families one with a white mother and the other a black. Unlimited proof can be secured showing where they so far as to date men of color to consort with women of their own blood, and now go into spasms because some foolish girl, who instead of obeying her mother and staying at home, is hanging around sporting reports like Jack Johnson's and others conducted by white men. Blame the parents and also the law for allowing places to run where women and men, be they of the same race, mingle and debauch themselves. The police of Chicago have seen not only that girl but scores of white women in Jack Johnson's place, and nothing was thought or said of it, but had they been doing their duty, not a woman of any color or kind could have entered the door of any such place in the city of Chicago. hearted mother of this wayward girl, but she cannot expect her daughter to find the class of men that make useful citizens and good husbands hanging around resorts of this character, be they run by men as white as snow or as black as the hinges of hadeas. We know nothing of the facts in the case nor does the public. The reports are garbled and written by men who make it a business to picture the colored people in the worst light possible. Johnson is pictured as a demon, now who knows anything of the girl's past, and whether or not her appearance at the Johnson resort was her first time to cross the threshold of the devil's hell? Who knows that she has not long been a frequenter of such places? Johnson is wrong, but we must remember that he also has a partner in crime, if one has been committed, and according to the telegraph, admitted that she was with Johnson because she desired to be. Indians, Mexicans, Chinese and Dagos have done far worse than Johnson, and the world was not turned upside down as they are trying to do in this case. We are sorry that the "King of Sportdom" did not marry a woman of his own race so she could have enjoyed the comforts of his fine home, trips abroad and automobiles. Our white brothers never want to see colored people have anything good, so as soon as Jack was "inside" the long end of the change, they flocked around him like flies around a molasses barrel, and now they have him, let 'em keep him and be contented. Thousands of colored mothers are nursing broken hearts from wrongful acts committed by white men, but on this matter, the white press is silent as the tomb. If the government officials do their duty they will go further than the Johnson case and look up white men who are doing what they claim Jack did. If this nineteen year old girl is to be an example for Jack, let it be for all races and men who seek to overthrow good womanhood. Jack Johnson has not brought any disgrace upon the honest, clean, industrious colored people, no more than that girl has disgraced the whites. A; to Johnson, the class of colored people mentioned live in a different sphere, hence they are not yelping about that which is beneath them, but if they placed themselves in that category, they would likely take the stand of others and raise the roof. Wrong, no matter by whom committed should not be condoned in one no more than in another, and fair, honorable, clean minded people look upon it thus. In fact the high class white people—those of blood, education and wealth are not saying a word about the girl and her black lover, for they regard both as being fun beneath the notice of decent, respectable people of any race. It is the tough necks in both races who are willing to stain their hands. "As you sow, shall ye reap." SHAWNEE COENY. The voters of Shawnee county will be called upon to contest the election of Judges Dana and Whitcomb. These two jurists have distinguished themselves so honestly and fair that they are in harmony with everybody in the faction of the various parties of Shawnee county. While one sits in the south wing of the court house and the other in the north, they never fail to look to the east and throw light on all subjects pertaining to justice. We are pleased to note that they are the only candidates for the judiciary in the United States that have no opposition. They work hard and earn every dollar that the state pays them. They work early and late and can only spend a few hours at church on Sunday, whereby they get inspiration to give out justice. One vote will re-elect these gentlemen for another term. Art Haugis, the popular druggist, who is making the race for registrar of deeds on the independent ticket, is a splendid young man-honest, upright and thoroughly reliable. He has many warm friends who are advocating his cause and they intend to leave no stone unturned in search of votes. Vote for Charles G. Blakely, Republican candidate for representa- Circulation 8,000 Guaranteed Price $1.50 Per Year. tivo 34th District comprising the Second, Third and Fourth Wards. Mr. Oscar Smitz, candidate for county attorney of Wabaunsee county will be re-elected by a large majority. He is a man that stands for the people and with the people. He can be relied upon to do what is right honorable and fair and always in the interest of the taxpayers. He is a friend of the colored people and has gone out of his way to render them many favors. Men like him should be in the state house. He resides in Alma, where he was reared and deserves the support of everybody regardless of party, creed, color or religion. Vote for Oscar Smitz and you will make no mistake. COWLEY COUNTY L. P. King, Democratic candidate for State Senator, has resided in Winfield thirty-five out of the forty-nine years he has spent in Kansas. He is a farmer and knows the wants and needs of the laboring people and if elected, would put forth every effort to secure legislation that would assist the common people. He is a splendid fellow, and will run like a scared jack rabbit at the coming election. COWLEY COUNTY. Mr. Ed. J. Fleming, one of the brightest and best lawyers in Kansas has been nominated on the Republican ticket for county attorney, and a failure to elect him would be a glaring mistake. The business of the county requires the close attention of a good, keen lawyer—one who will use the same care and attention that he would employ in personal affairs, and Mr. Fleming is the man who can and will do it. Don't make a mistake by electing a plug lawyer, for in Mr. Fleming everyone knows that he possesses the brains and ability and will deliver the goods. L. P. King, Democratic candidate for state senator is making a hot fight for this important place. Hir record is clean and clear, and if you are not familiar with his standing, he cheerfully refers you to your neighbor. Mt. King is a man with a head of his own and if honored by the people would not be hampered by any clique or ring. HARVEY-McPHERSON Mr. L. M. Simpson, Republican candidate for state senator Thirtieth district, is a man of high standing; a thorough gentleman, thinker and business man. He is an old resident of McPherson County, where he resides on his farm. It is McPherson county's turn to select the candidate for state senator for this district, and we, along with a legend of good, sane sound minded lot of people feel and believe that the proper man has been located in the person of Mr. Simpson. His honor and integrity are above approach; stands every test, and if elected, which he should be, he will give the people he should there is in him. Personally he is courteous, kind and polite and believes that others have rights that should be respected. Mack P. Cretcher, the genial editor of the Sedgewick Pantagraph, is a splendid fellow and capable of representing the Harvey-M'Pherson district in the state senate. He is a Democrat of the progressive type and alive to the wants and needs of the people and if elected to this important office will do his host. Mr. Cretcher is not a Democrat of the hide bound variety, but believes in the rights of the people to rule. JUDGE THOMPSON IN LEAD Kansans Lining up for Him in Every Section of the State. Judge W. H. Thompson, Democratic nominee for United States Senator, isably fitted to represent Kansas in the upper house of Congress, and will be an honor and a credit to himself and his constituents. No selfish motives will actuate him in the measures that will of necessity come before him for consideration, but the welfare of the general public will always be conserved. Prejudice is not one of his attributes, and his aim and object will be to secure the greatest good for the greatest number, and all his actions will be based upon justice and fair dealing to all mankind. PASSING COMMENT BY JOHN M. DORSEY. The coyotes of Texas who want Jack Johnson shipped to that state for use as a target or to dangle at the other end of a rope, seem to think that the trains are not running out of Texas up Chicago way or that the railroads will sell them transportation in that direction. --- Arthur Capper finds himself in be tween two fires now since his effort to ride two horses going in opposite direction, and if he does not let one or the other of these horses go he will find himself half and half into the center, and when he comes to his senses he will realize that he has been deped on Toddymose. Theodore Rex will assume to teach that when it is necessary to overturn the law and the constitution it is perfectly right to do so, but who the trick is turned on him he asume to put the blame on the other fellow for the fruits of his own teaching. Don't preach what you cannot stand in practice, or in other words, don't prescribe a medicine that you cannot take yourself. According to the press dispatcher Booker T. Washington announces to the public that Jack Johnson is a repronch and a manace to the race on account of the recent misup in which the champion finds himself entangled, but Dr. Washington seems to have forgotten a certain flasher once upon a time in the city of New York when a poor run proved better that a bad stand. But the race will live on. The only need for the organization of a third term party is to avenge the action of the people for not nominating Roosevelt as the standard bearer of the Republican party, and it is certain that had the people not so acted there would be no need for the Bull Moose, as the Republican party would have been perfectly good enough for him to ride into the White House on the strength of its ground achieve points, but four years of Coxey army days and 1907 pane times will learn the people a lesson thinks Teddy. The Kansas City Star and Times, Bull Moose organs of Missouri, which have been trying to run Kansas politics for the past several years, finds a crow to pick with Arthur Capper because that candidate declares that he is a Republican, and the Missouri Bull Moose organ evidently takes Mr. Capper to task for his attempt to win laurids of honor and glory sailing under false pretenses. It may be the Star's editor has some scruples as to right and wrong, but it is doubtful, for as long as Capper was clamming to be a Republican and working with the gang that is trying to kill the Republican party he was all right; but when Capper tried to square himself with the standpat or administration true blue element and declared his faith in the Republican party, the Star thought that he was carrying the joke too far, and could not refresh the seeming readiness to do anything that would savor of not favoring the chief Bull Moose, and now Capper is between the devil and the deep sea. He has turned, twisted and squirmed in various ways, but it seems that he cannot adjust himself to the changes constantly going on around him, first by the Bull Moose crowd and then by the rank and file of the people in Kansas who have some respect for the backbone of a man that is not of the angle worm order. ```markdown ``` Ingratitude is one of the most traits in human nature, and the one to be most despised. As a race in this country we are not thing to nothing and we can accomplish nothing in the way of right and justice only as the dominant race sees it to grant it to us. When some member of that dominant race sets out to rescue for us this great hero we should forever revive the man if living, on the memory of him if dead. Reah, ing that the Negro race had not received justice in the Brown-sville matter at the hands of Theodore Roosevelt, that palliant hero of Ohio, that great statesman, Hon Joseph H. Foraker, sacrificed himself on the altar of prejudice that we might obtain justice, and every man, woman and child with a black skin in the United States should love, shoot and terror his malt died, but out here in sunny Kansas, where the land of oppression has but lightly touched us we find black men claiming that Poraker was in the wrong and that Rooswelt was the saving grace that we should bow down to and worship as the savior of the race and its redeemer. But there were those who scuffed at the Lord Jesus and they crucified Him and we cannot expect moral man to escape, and we will have to go on living in the knowledge that some human beings have no respect for the sacrifices of others that we may go on from the low ground of sorrow to a realization of a perfect manhood. BARTLESVILLE, OKLA. Dunbar Literary society met Thursday night and the following subject was debated: Resolved, "That the Work of Nature is More Beautiful than the Work of Art." Affirmative, Prof. Anderson; negative, M. Johnson. After twenty minutes of very pointed pening the junior agreed to disguise. Rev. C. H. Homes, our beloved pastor, has just finished a good year and has made an excellent record here in wicked Battleville and has now gone to Muskogee to attend the Annual conference to stand before our big named Bishop, W. D. Chappelle, for a return another year. Rev. Dr. J. G. Walker, deputy national grand master of the York Rutgers, located under the au pence above national society last Monday at to quote a large crowd. His speech was full of dequence lending his auditors from laughter to tears the last part of the lecture was witty and brilliant while the latter part was profoundly appealing and touching. The singing by the large chorus was fine. We hope that this lecture will mean an addition to this society. Mr. Walter Byers is all smiles nowadays on account of the game season has just opened, and he has purchased his annual license. O joy! Hurrah, for Negro education in Battleville. The school board has our long looked for school building almost completed, and this means progress along educational lines.

But the are—members have confidence in Mr. Norman and hope he will redeem himself very soon. ELLSWORTH, KAN.

KANSAS IS REPUBLICAN Roosevelt Strength Among Veterans In Decreasing Perceptibly Throughout State. Topeka, Kan., Sept. 23.—Notwithstanding the enthusiasm which has always existed in Kansas for Theodore Roosevelt, it is undeniable that his strength as a presidential candidate is decidedly waning throughout the state. If he were the candidate of the Republican party, and if there were a chance of his election, he would, of course, sweep the state without any serious opposition. But neither of those conditions exists. The fact that his own leaders have been obliged to yield to the wave of indignant protest which swept against them on account of their effort to have Roosevelt's electors placed in the Republican column has not only proven the strength of the Taft sentiment, but it has eliminated all possibility of Roosevelt carrying the state. The withdrawal of his electors from the Republican column has emphasized the fact that he is not the Republican candidate, and Kansas is too well satisfied with the conditions which have provided during the past sixteen years to follow any man, however popular he may be, out of the Republican party. The Roosevelt sentiment has been further weakened by the universal conviction that there is no possibility of his election and that the only effect his candidacy can possibly have is to expose the country to the danger of a Democratic victory Kansas is as far from being a Democratic state as it is away and with the substantial collapse of the Roosevelt campaign this state will be found in its accustomed place near the head of the Republican column. LOSING IN NEBRASKA Progressive Party Will Die Before Election Day Comes Around. Reports from Nebraska show that the Reese's salt sentiment is decreasing. "The Third Form party," says one letter to Director Volvane of the western branch of the Taft campain, "is dwindling down to Pops." James H Clark of Hastings, Neb., president of a two company which handles investments securities and farm mortgages and who has exceptional opportunity to know the feeling among the farmers says that in Nebraska the farmers are in singing to realize if they followed Reese'selt they will land nowhere and if they allow a Democratic president to be elected, they will be ruined.

Indianapolis, Ind., Sept 30 — A careful canvass has been made of the Roosevelt sentiment in every county in this state. The inquiry was started by a prominent business man of this city, who was anxious to learn for himself the true condition of affairs. He sent out a large number of letters to men in each of the counties who were not politicians and would have no incentive to falsify the situation. The replies showed that in every county in the state, with one exception, there had been a marked decrease in the Roosevelt sentiment. The opinion was universally expressed that the Third Term candidate had fewer followers now in Indiana than at any time since the campaign opened and this number was steadily decreasing. A few of these reports summarized follow: White county—"Oura is an agricultural community and the farmers all seem satisfied with conditions and are not calling for a change. I see no evidence of Bull Mooseism spreading On the continuity. It is weaker than at first." Steuben county—"The Third Farmers are on the down grade and will not be as strong a mouth later as they are now." Lake county—"Sentiment for the Progressive is weakened, especially among the farmers. Sentiment is growing more and more favorable to the albeit distraction." Montgomery county—"The Bull Moose continent here is waning. The Third Team party is losing as the campaign progresses." De Kalk county — "There will not be many Pull Moose voters here. Taft will it come democratic votes—quite a number." Alabama county — "The changes n e how coming all our way. There are no more desertions from the Republic ranks." Tippier county — "The Bull Moose sentiment is subsiding." Reports from Allen and La Grange counties are to the same effect. SLIDING BACK IN NEVADA Roosevelt Has Reached His Limit and Is Rapidly Receding. Reno, Nov. Sept 26.—The decline of the Roosevelt movement, noticeable throughout the country, is very apparent in Nevada. "The interest in the Bull Moose movement is crystallized in Roosevelt," says the Evening Gazette, "and that interest is waning." The Gazette further states that Roosevelt's disappointing speech in this state, the fact that "he is receiving funds from George W. Perkins and is being supported only by cast-off politicians, are drag-stones about his neck. The Gazette sums up the situation in Nevada as follows: "Roosevelt has reached the limit of his power and is sliding back rapidly." --- www.cisco.com THE DANGER THAT WAS ESCAPED WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF DEMOCRATIC TARIPP BILLS HAD NOT BEEN VETOED. The Disaster Which Threatened One County In Connecticut Would Have Been Experienced In Almost Every County In the United States. Congressman E J Hill is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, tariff experts in the United States. He represents Fairfield county, Connecticut in congress, and he has recently published a startling document in which he shows the effect the Democratic tariff bills passed during the recent session of congress and voted by President Taft, would have had upon those industries if enacted into law. He lists the factors in alphabetical order and shows in connection with each one just the percentage of reduction in the duty upon the article which it manufactures. The showing bills four pages of a newspaper and it has not only awakened Connecticut to a shuddering realization of the danger it has escaped, but it has aroused all New England to the menace of a Democratic victory. Mr. Hill shows beyond question that if these Democratic bills had passed practically every industry in his district and in the entire state of Connecticut would have been put upon a free trade basis and a very large proportion of them would have been obliged to close their doors. Manufacturers from all over the country who have seen this exhibit are writing to Mr. Hill to thank him for making it and to tell him that they had no idea how near to extinction they had been. They had not realized the deadly menace to their industries which was hidden in the Democratic tariff bills and they had not realized the immeasurable debt they owe to President Taft for voting them. One correspondent from Delaware writes that Congressman Hill's disclosures had "get the state on fire," and that is hardly too strong a term to use to describe the intense interest group Another article which has recently appeared and which has produced almost as startling an effect upon those to whom it was immediately addressed as that of Congressman Hill, is an editorial in the "American Sheep Breeder." This editorial calls attention to the fact that neither Colonel Rosevelt nor Professor Wilson made any reply whatever when asked what their attitude would be on the question of protection to the wool industry, while President Taft answered by wire, calling attention to his veto of the wool bill and the expression of opinion which he gave in that veto. The editorial very properly draws the inference from the silence of the Bull Moose and Democratic candidates that the wool industry need not hope for any consideration at their hands, and it quotes the message of President Taft to show that he realizes the absolute necessity of protection in order that the industry may prosper, and that so long as he is in the White House no free wool bill can become a law. The "American Sheep Breeder" goes to many thousand men engaged in the sheep industry and it is not in any sense a political newspaper. It is devoted to the interests of the sheep industry, however, and its expression of editorial opinion that President Taft and the Republican party alone can be trusted to safeguard that industry, can hardly fall to concentrate upon the Republican ticket the vote of all those vitally interested in that industry. The Democratic managers realize the deep seated distrust toward their party which exists on account of its attitude on the tariff question and are trying desperately to make it appear that the tariff plank in their platform does not really mean so very much. They plead that the Democratic program would be to reduce the tariff gradually so as not to disturb business with the idea that ultimately the country could reach a free trade basis by easy slaves—which is like the old story about gradually reducing the feed which is given to your horses until by dint of habit he learns to do without any feed at all. but the country will not be deceived. The country knows perfectly well that Democratic victory would mean a long period of tariff activation with nothing certain except that in the end bills would be passed under which there would inevitably be enormous importations of foreign products with corresponding contraction and stagnation of domestic trade and manufacture. The country did not fail to take note of the tariff revision bills passed by the present Democratic congress under the loosest that they did not contain a line of protection. The country knows that but for the courageous voices of President Taft these unlawful Democratic measures would now be on the statute books and in all probability the industries affected by them would be languishing and thousands of men out of work. It is the knowledge of these facts that is responsible for the strong and steady drift toward Taft that is reported from all sections of the country and that is the forecast of a sweeping Republican victor).

However, the interest on Loriowed money can never be recovered while the premium on a life insurance poll- cy, besides giving protection or in- suring an estate in the event of death, will be reeturned to the policy holder, and sometimes with a nominal inter- est, if he survives the premium pay- ing period. By no other means of in- vesting a similar amount of moncy each year can so large a return On the investment be secured, as with life Insudance. It ‘weuld take a large portion of a lifetime to accumulate what life in- surance pelicy is werth from the very: moment the first premium is paid.

Sub- sequently Mr. Rohothan was alloted 914 additional shares of the increased capitalization of the company as his portion of stock dividends earned on the original sixty shares subscribed for, In addition to these stock divl- dends he had drawn up to 1902 $46,- 500.00 of dividends in cash, He sold 314 shares of his stock for not less than $100,000.00 and today presum- ably still owns 600 shares that are worth approximately $2,200,000.00 or one thousang times as much as his original investment.

A shade of sadness mounted the face of most of our citizens Monday when the news went out over the city that Miss Mary Bell Jordan had passed away that morning at her home, 1187 Lane street at 4:30. "Miss Mary is dead," was uttered in low sorrowful tones, and many strong hearted men turned their backs and brushed away a tear, as the news was born to them. She was the friend of mock and low, and her light heart and cheerful disposition brought sunshine and hope into the fruits of the dissolve. Her way was the Christian way, and her words a soothing balm to the conscience of the wayward. She delighted in performing family duties for others, and in willing hands and really felt the need of admiration to the com church, labor and social life, he was an the worker, and in a splendid executive ability and natural gift to lead and govern in such a pot factor in hospit and these actions which have proven power to the uplift and advance of society, and her work will ever stand a witness monument to the who placed deeds above word. "He ye always ready for ye in w not when the son of man cometh, and I thus she lived throughout her short journey across his highway, and when the passenger came, passed out of the world at peace with food and man. All through the long dreary months of her pain and suffering, she bore her burdens alone at would have her, and ever looked to and trusted in He who will "I lead me to a rock that is higher than 1." Thus it all ends. The will of an All-wise Providence has been done, and the world made better through the earthly being of a noble, Christian lady who has passed from our midst to enjoy the fruits of her labors. Funeral services were held from Saint John A. M. E. church of which she was a member, on Wednesday afternoon, the Rev. J. T. Smith obeiating. He paid an eloquent and glowing tribute to the memory of the deceased, and the choir, which she had served so faithfully and well rendered a number of very touching selections. Deceased was a member of Rebecca chapter, No. 8, O. E. S., and the Benevolent Society, serving as secretary of both, the latter for twelve years. She was also connected with the Sheldon Kindergarten from its beginning and taught for many years. Miss Jordan was fully aware that the end was near, and on Sunday before her death, carefully prepared her obituary. Two, carriage loads of beautiful floral offerings from churches, lodges and friends, among which were beautiful designs from Lawrence and Kansas City, tells of the esteem in which she was held throughout the community. Mary Bell Jordan was born near Nashville, Tenn. January 18, 1873, and was reared and educated in the schools of Topeka. She united with Saint John A. M. E. church under the pastorate of Rev. H. B. Parks, now bishop.

This is per- fidy in view of all the colored votes he got, It is not consistent with self tespect to vote for the re-elecion of a candidate who received your vote and then proved unfaithful, And the Republican party does not pretend to try to stop the white South from dis- franchising colored men, Hence it is no protection to vote for it; it Is only to increase the hostility of our ene- mies to no purpose’— The Boston Guardian.
