UNDERTAKING.
Naming no names and Indulg-
ing in no personalities, the Re-
publican party of Missouri arises
to remark that a certain rather
short, heavy set, square jawed
young man with a dimple in his
eninhas made a rattling good
record for law enforcement even
If he ia democratic governor of
tile state.-Kansas City Times.

The Kansas City Star recently
said; "Nothing is more securely
demonstrated than that the liquor
traffic is responsible for more
than half the crime and disorder
in a large city and that It occa-
sions 50 per cent of the expense
in maintaining the police and cor-
rectionary system. It ia equally
well established that Kansas City
does not collect nearly enough „„„ K
money from the saloon to reim- provided it for them selves? Do
burse the municipality for the you believe the people would
men for the fine Elbertas raised
near here, and the very finest
grade is being delivered at 75
per bushel. Why should the far-
mer continue t6 feed the com-
mission men such enormous mar-
gains when by organization they
can reap these profits them-
selves.—Ripley Times.

The country press represents
the true sentiment of the people
at all times. The metropolitan
dailies and county seat week-
lies are, too much involved in
politics to be depended upon,
but the country press, removed
from these temptations and de-
pending solely upQn the people
for its maintenance, soundsthe
voice of the masses with pre-
cision. We see this evinced at
the present time in the revolt of
several of the country papers
against machine rule and politi-
cal chicanery, and as the political
fires blaze brighter we shall see
it more and more. Politicians
are likely to learn that they have
a new element to deal with-an
element that may prove to be a
white elephant to shysters.—Red

In Cleveland the city is going
to tremendous legal expense to
prove there is an ice trust that
is robbing the public. What a
farce the law is to spent money
to prove what everybody knows!
But it is nuts for the attorneys
and the judges. Now, if the
dty had spent this money in
putting up an ice plant or provid-
ing houses for storing ice, to be
sold at the actual cost of the
labor, do you think the ice men
could extort? Do you believe
the ice would be less cold or
Wholesome because the people
the trusts keep right on. They
couldn't hurt anybody and
would soon "fold their tents,
I like the Arabs, and as silently
, steal away." Do yoR.think. it
sensible to pay aJiigh price for
tee, and then pay expenses to
prove you are paying a high
price, rather than provide your-
selves with ice at cost? Will
you never get your eyes open?-

One of the great advantages
of farmer organisations can be
observed this year In the results
obtained by the Fruit Growers'
Association of Logan county.
The first shipment of Elberta
peaches from Lofean county
brought the raisers $2.10 per
bushel. Only 40 to 50 centa has
been offered here by commission
pay the ice men a big pries when
they could buy from themselves
at a small price? Do you believe
the men who worked for the
public putting up or making ice
would be worked harder or get
less pay than the ice men give?
No laws aginst extortion or
trusts are. necessary. The oply
nesd is to provide the people
with a place where they can get
similar products at cost, and let
Why Tie laiiaas Are
It is hardly worth while for
Republican organs and orators to
try to convince the Indians of
the Five Tribes that the Republi-
can party has been their friend,
either in the matter of statehood
or in the management of their
estates.
The Indians wanted seperate
statehood which had been promis-
ed them in the act creating the
Dawes Commission in 1893 and
1n the Curtis act of five years
later.
A daughter of Mr. Dawes
last summer declared that she
had frequently heard from her
father that it was largely upon
the trust of the Indians in the
good faith of the promises that
the Indians consented to the
dissolution of their tribal govern-
ments, step by step, through
the years of negotiation which
preceded the event.
The Indians well know that it
was the opposition of a Republi-
can Congress, and the veto, in
advance, of the Republiban
President which defeated the
Sequoyah statehood movement.
They also know that Republi-
can legislation and Republican
executive rulings have tied up
their landed property, both all-
otted and unallotted, in ways
which make most of it unavail-
able, and which seem to threaten
the loss of large bodies of it
These Indians know their
friends among the whites, and
that is the reason they are going
to vote the Democratic ticket at
the first chance they get to vote
in the State of Oklahoma.
