It is perhaps to be regarded as
a matter of regret that the re-
publican party is dwindling in
leadership in Oklahoma as a
strong opposition party always
makes for better conditions But
ambitious republican politicians
see little encouragement for them
in this state— Oklahoman
Pawnee Courier: President
Taft well knows that his person-ally-appointed
board of non-political
tariff experts will say that
it will be too disturbing to busi-
ness to tamper with the tariff so
he hopes to be able to stand be-
hind their opinion and prevent
the reduction of the tariff and
thus repay manyfold the contri-
bution made to his campain fund
by the manufacturers
Senator Owen endorses the
plan of sending delegates -to the

Sees Taft’s Defeat
“President Taft has declined
an opportunity to greatly cheap
en the cost of clothing wire etc
and in doing so has defended
what' he said was indefensible
The president’s - vetoes of the
tariff bills will make it difficult
for him to be renominated and
will practically insure his defeat
if renominated"
This is an extract from the
weekly market letter of the New
York Consolidated Stock Ex-
change firm of Warren W Erwin
& Co It shows that the New
York business interests and Wall
street have definitely concluded
Taft can not be re-elected and
are apparently ready to throw
him over
It costs a country newspaper
money every time it takes a stand
on any question Almost any
citizen besides a newspaper man
can do it without injuring his
business If the editor advocat-
es improvements the soreheads
go after him and sometimes stop
the paper If he opposes im-
provements the progressive sort
get on him and call him a back
number and a knocker If he
publishes politics the opposition
gets into his hair and if he does
not he is charged with being
afraid to stand out for his opin-
ion If he condems mail order
houses there are some people
who ask him to attend to his own
business as they can trade where
they please If he publishes a
mail order ad some of the mer-
chants are after him No coun-
try paper can come out squarely
without making enemies and
losing money and in the run of
a year or more he will incur some
criticism from everybody The
newspaper man who tries to
please everybody will please no-
body If the newspaper is hon-
est and sincere and thoughtful
the public will respect it— Ex

The world will tell you to make

Colorado was the first state to

ordinary courts - It has now

influence of parents has resulted
in the misdemeanors charged
against the child the parents are
also punished
The City Park in Miami would

The Jackson Examiner of Inde-
pendence Missouri says that
the saloons in St Joseph' have
joined the temperance people in
a war on social clubs which are
organized for the purpose of
furnishing liquor to members
and friends on Sunday The sa-
loon keepers argue rightly that
they pay a high license for the
privilege of doing business and
are closed on Sundays in compli-
ance with the law while the
clubs pay no license and are
open on Sundays It is a fact
capable of demonstration that
more liquor is sold illegally un-
der the license system than un-
der prohibition
A Broken Arrow “evangelist”

the town whether for advertis-

“evangelist” is a coward at
heart If this “evangelist”
wanted to go to this bottom of
the matter he would say' “John
Jones that church member over
there buys his liquor on the sly
of Bill Smith the bootlegger”
No he does not do that and
those exemplary pillars of society
who are the real promoters of
bootlegging go scot free and pose
as pious “What airs in thoughts

devotion” as Burns put it

What Sort of Man If This?
Frank P Walsh of Kansas
City a prominent attorney de-
clined to be a candidate for gov-
ernor on the democratic ticket
because he might find it neces-
sary to bolt the democratic presi-
dential candidate When a prom-
inent man will speak thus it
shows what has been the result
of the progressive movement
with the old parties in the last
several years Mr Walsh has
been a staunch democrat but he
is more he is an independent
man reaching his own conclus-
ions without the help of the
party text books Listen here
are a few other things he said in
the same interview?
“The question of govern-
ment of this day then is the
question of who controls the
courts It is ridiculous to
say that judges declare the
law as they find it They
declare it the way they be-
lieve it to be and they be-
lieve it to be the way they
want it to be”
Again listen to this:
“It is a shame to think
that the men who make the
laws are running this coun-
try or that any servants of
the people are running it
much less the people them-
selves They’re not This
is a government of the peo-
ple by the federal judges
for the special interests”
A few years ago a man had to
belong to one or the other of the
old parties or he was looked upon
with suspicion ' Those were
halcyon days for the political
grafter and ward heeler of both
parties The votes were counted
at the political headquarters and
approximations made of results
long before the ballots were cast
Today the office is : raising its
head from the ground where it
has been sat upon by some heavy-
weight tool of some powerful in-
terest and is glancing around
fora desirable party to occupy
that seat of privilege And in a
few years more the man will be
chosen by the office for his capa-
bilities and honesty and no party
will hold a mortgage on the po-
sitions which have heretofore
been doled out for financial sup-
