W. J. Bryan lias bolted thedemocraticstate tick-

for governor on the liquor question.
-I. W. McNeal has put the question ot' a fair
election squarely up to Lee Cruce the democratic can-
didate. He has requested Mr. Crucc to call a meet-
ing of the candidates for governor to settle the terms
of the agreement.
When Washington was president he contributed
out of his private uieans to help run the government.
It seems to be the proper thing nowadays, to have the
government contribute towards running private but

of "More Business and less Politics." lie is show-
ing them by actual demonstration, what it costs to
live under democratic administration of the Haskell

present condition of taxation and extravagance.
A charter has been taken out by The Travelers
Aid Society at Oklahoma City. The object of the
society is to help unprotected women and girls by
providing matrons at all stations to take charge of
all needing temporary assistance, and also to assist
in procuring homes and employment. The object is
a laudable one and deserves universal commendation.
President Taft has changed his attitude towards
the insurgent Senators, notably in the case of Sena-
tor Bristow. He had refused to appoint the man for
postmaster of Salina, recommended by Bristow. He
has. within the past week, complied with Senator
Bristow's request. The overwhelming "insurgent"
sentiment in Kansas and the west, has had its influ-
ence on the president.
Republicans should not forget that one of the vi-
tal questions to settle in the coming election, is that
of the legislature. The men who make the laws are
in closer touch with the substantial interests of ev-
ery tax payer and citizen. It requires the most capa-
ble men to make good law makers. They shonld be
men who are conversant with the needs of the people
and of sufficient courage and honesty to stand up for
what is right.
