velt's popularity rests on
policies he has urged, not be-
cause they are his views, but be-
cause they are the convictions of
the people, crystallized under his
leadership.
President Roosevelt has elim-
inated himself for re-election,but
popular adherence to the princi-
ples he has upheld is as strong as
ever. The demand is that the
present order be continued
That is why there is such a strong
and spontaneous movement in fa-
vor of Secretary Taft, who in-
dorses the policies of the present
administration and has demon-
strated a remarkable capacity for
giving them force. He has stood
by the President and he has been
more than a supporter. He has
been a worker, and he has dis-
played just the capacity and
courage and poise that the peo-
ple believe are needed to carry-
forward the work now under
way. He has also pledged him-
self to tariff revision, thereby
covering practically the whole
field of urgeYit issues on behalf
of the masses.
The people are alert. They
know the advantages they have
gained and understand the pros-
pects for still further progress
against the aggression of the
trusts and other big corporations.
They are watchful. They want
no reversal of policy. More and
more they will rally about those
leaders who have stood and con-
tinue to stand by the Roosevelt
administration.

REVISION OF THE TARIFF.
Senator Warner of Missouri
has introduced a bill for the ap-
pointment of a commission by the
president to go over the tariff
carefully, and to make a report
which will give "points" on which
Congress can revise the tariff in
a session to be called by _ the Re-
publican president who is to be
elected this year, and to meet as
early as possible after the in-
auguration in March. 1909. Sena-
tor Beveridge has introduced a
bill on the same subject, which
differs in some respects from that
of the Missouri man. Several
bills on that question are booked
to be introduced in the House.
The committees in each branch
will frame and report a measure
containing the best points in
these bills.
All the men who are introduc-
ing these bills are friends of the
tariff. Senator Warner takes
pains to declare that he stands
"squarely upon the doctrine of
protection." He believes that
any sort of a revision of the tar-
iff will, for the moment, disturb
business, but he thinks that
' 'through the action of a com-
mission of tariff experts we can
determine scientifically what
changes are warranted." He
believes that, from time to time,
as conditions change, there should
be some changes in the sched-
ules, and a commission of in-
telligent, unbiased men will be
able to suggest alterations here
and there in the schedules which
will meet the demands of trade,
and offer the least possible dis-
turbance to business.
This looks like sense. There
will be no tariff talk in the pres
ent session of Congress. The
tariff will not be disturbed in any
spot by the Congress which was
elected in 1906, and which will
step out on March 1, 1909. Most
| of the Republicans, however,
I favor a revision by the Congress
i which will be elected in 1908,
and they would like to have it
i take place just as soon as possible
1 after the Republican president
i steps into office in March, 1909.
President McKinley called Con-
j gress in session for a similar pur-
pose just as soon as he entered
office in March, 1897, and the act
which it framed at that time, and
which is in operation still, was
the best balanced tariff law which
ever went on the stati'te book.
It was framed at a time when
politics was absent, and it was
framed so quickly that the dis-
turbance to business was com-
paratively slight.
At the annual meeting of the
Kay County Fair Association
held at Newkirk this week offi-
cers for the ensuing year was as
follows: D. C. Paullin, presi-
dent, J. F. Hufbauer, vice-presi-
dent. Eleven directors were
also elected and the selection of
a secretary and treasurer, will be
made sometime next week.
Lafe Knadler, who was a can-
didate for register of deeds of
Alfalfa county in the late elec-
tion, was appealed his contest
for that office to the supreme
court. He alleges that the re-
turns of one township were not
counted, and that enough votes
were omitted from the count to
insure his election.
J. A. Henry, president of the
First National Bank of Altus, is
under a $2,500 bond until the
grand jury meets in June, hav-
ing waived preliminary hearing
following his arrest on the charge,-
of falsifying a deed to 320 acres
of land, owned by C. E. Traweek,
but against which Henry held
the notes of Traweek and his
wife.
On recommendation of County
Attorney Reardon, County Treas-
urer McCafferty, of Oklahoma
City, has accepted the $9,170.00
given by the Frisco Railroad
Company as taxes for the Crut-
cho, Dewey, Choctaw and Spring-
er townships. A balance of $780
is alleged to be due and is con-
tested by the railroads. An in-
junction has been served on the
sheriff and county treasurer to
prevent collection of that amount.
Relatives of A. 0. Callahan, of
Kiowa county are fearful lest he
met with foul play. Callahan
sold his farm three weeks ago
and deposited the money in a
Hobart bank. A letter directed
to him in Texas, where he was
supposed to have gone on a visit,
was returned. It was also found
out that a check for one hundred
dollars was cashed at the bank
and the name of Callahan forged
to it.
The wedding here of Miss El-
sie Bowen to Mr. James Mascho,
of Chandler, at Guthrie, this
week, formed the climax of a ro-
mance that began during the
past summer. Both Miss Bowen
and Mr. Mascho were members
of an outing party on the Cimar-
ron river last June. During their
sojourn at the river, Mascho res-
cued Miss Bowen from drown-
ing. She was wading with some
young ladies and stepped off in-
to a deep hole.
