There are many things the pub-
lic can charge against Gov. Hoch
but the worst from a political
stand point is his acting as the
accommodating step-mother for
the Katy railroad.
According to Judge Humph-
rey's decision in the beef trust
case, the law that requires a can-
didate to swear to his expense ac-
count, is unconstitutional. That
would be self incrimination.
Gov. Hoch lias earned a new
title and one that will cling to
him closer than a poor relative.
The “Next Friend of the Katy”
is the new title. If he is proud
of it, the voters who made him
governor are not.

San Francisco and the Tariff.
The bills that were introduced
to remove tbe tariff from build-
ing material to be used in the re-
building of San Francisco are
slumbering in the committee
rooms of congress and no voice
in tbe national councils is raised
to aid the stricken city. And
why is this? Do our representa-
tives fear the power of the trusts
or are they the paid agents ol
those corporations which receive
unjust protection through obnox-
ious tariff laws? The national
government and the people have
contributed liberally to aid the
stricken city. Now let the rob-
ber tariff barons be compelled to
disgorge be removing the tariff
from all material tor rebuilding

The Emporia Gazette says:
“While no one is fighting the
republican state ticket, no one is
defending it in Logan county.”
It also states tbat 15 of the 16
delegates who attended the state
convention from that county will
bolt or scratch tbe ticket. The
one who will not bolt is seeking
office. No doubt this is a fair
sample of the situation through-
out the entire state. The people
are determined to settle the ques-
tion for all time as to whether
the state will control the railroads
or the railroads contral the state.
The issue is on and must be de-
cided one way or the other this
fall. The republican’ bosses and
railroad attorneys licked Stubbs
at the state convention. They
will get their licking at the polls

Insurance Rates.
Insurance men all over the
country are making arrangements
to raise tire insurance rates on
account of tbe great fire in San
Francisco, but they say the raise
will only be temporary. Exper-
ience bas taught us that lowering
of rates may be temporary but an
advance in rates generally con-
tinues or goes higher still. Id
cities the size of Watonga, local
or home insurance is tbe best and
cheapest.
