PEOPLE WILL PAY THEIR OWN BILLS—NO MONEY WANTED
FROM WALL STREET.
Tune-Star Spangled Banner.
Beware of the trusts, that our burdens would bear;
Are they generous and true, can their motives be fair?
We have known them for years grown hoary with time;
Corrupting our servants regardless of crime.
Chorus
Oh! let Sheldon come forth with Wall Street Support;
But honest men all be deaf to his court;
When the millions of Wall Street will honor his draft,
There is no use deylng,they’ve a promise from Taft.
Shall elections be held with the p*ople supreme,
Or the almighty dollar make honor a dream.
The people have toiled, producing the crop,
While Wall street has robbed them from bottom to top.
Chorus
America prospers most naturally true,—
But shall labor divide where nothing is due?
The system of Wall Street In frenzied finance,
With millionaires made, not by labor but chance.
With Bliss, Cortelyou, and Geo. Perkins too,
Prying fat from the leeches, who stole it from you,
With millions corrupt, wrought our Bryan’s defeat,
Watch them close now, I say, they will try to repeat.
Chorus
Corruption ne’er aided the patriots way,—-
If its lighting we’ll fight,-if its paying we’ll pay.
Take back Mr. Sheldon, your ill gotten fryin,
The people will pay for electing our Bryan.
Chorus

GETTING DESPERATE.
Last Friday was a record day for
negroes to assult white women. In
addition to the Springfield, 111. , case,
mentioned in this paper, a brutal
negro attacked a white lady at Pen-
sacola, Florida and right here in Okla-
homa, at Duncan, a negro attempted
an sssault upon the 14 year-old
daughter of Chas. F. Fernsley. All
three of the negroes were captured.
Mobs were raised to handle the first
two but they failed to get hold of
their men. The third, at Duncan,
Ok la. , was handled in a different
manner. Here the negro was placed
in jail and a hanging was averted by
a not!delation to every negro in the
town to get out within a certain
time, which order the negro popula-
tion compiled with.
In this connection we^mlght men-
tion, once again, that Manchester
has no negroes, the two who were
brought in here having taken their
departure same time ago, and it is to
be hoped that no others will be intro-
duced. Negroes are not apt to stay
in a community where they are not
wanted, aud if we have those among
us who prefer negro help it would be
better for them to move to where the
negroes are instead of bringing the
negroes here.
-Earl Smith, carrier on Route 1 out
of Manchester, is taking a 15-day lay-
off, on full pay,and one of the Melcher
boys is running his route for him.
—Mrs. Geo. Morris and children
have gone to Hutchinson and other
points in Kansas on a visit, and
George is again looking after the
postoffice.
"SONGS OF VICTORY.’’
Governor Haskell returned to Guth-
rie from Lincoln, Nebraska, last Fri-
day, having attended the Bryan
notification gathering. He was in
unusually cheerful spirits, and pre-
dicted great things of the approach-
log national campaign. So
thoroughly was he imbued with en-
thousiasm that he let loose his pen-
tup feelings in singing campaign songs,
the songs that are sung around the
Bryan home.
It really does seem thatall is Bryan,
wherever you go. And it’s all due to
the fact that Bryan is the greatest
man in the nation today, and the
further fact that the Republicans
have pitted against him Willie Taft,
a man wholly Incompetent for the
high position and the weakest man
mentioned before the Republican con-
vention. Willie has a large stomach,
but that Is not what the American
people want. They want a man with
a head, and Mr. Bryan Is the only
show they have to get such a man in
the presiden’s chair this time. The
Journal thinks Gov. Haskell has
rtason to feel enthused.
-The editor and wife and daughter
Dottle accepted an invitation to
dinner Sunday at the new boarding
house run by Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Clary.
, They set a good table and have a very
| inviting place for both transient and
regular boarders.
'SCHEDULED LIKE A BULLET.
There was quite an enteresting race
on Thursday of last week between a
Santa Fe excursion train and a Reo
touring car auto from Harper to
Kingman, a distance of about 36 miles.
It was the Journal’s car that made
the run, with four passengers besides
the editor of this paper-H. W.
Reneau, R S. Emery, c. T. Brown
aud a young man who works for Mr.
Browu. When we reached Harper
the Santa Fe extra from Medicine
Lodge wrs standing across the street.
The engineer said he was bound for
the fair at Kingman and would reach
there long ahead of the auto. "Why
I’m scheduled like a bullet,” said the
engineer, holding up his type-written
running orders. When told that we
would like to get by and get a little
start of him, he got on his engine and
cleared the track and the auto went
on and was a mile out of town when
the train left the station. He had
but four loaded coaches, and as the
auto encountered two or three miles
of bad roads on the way to Rago the
train was first into the station and was
again standing across the public high-
way when the auto pulled into Rago
The engineer and the passengers
waved at the auto party, who sped on
north as sdfln as the train left the
crossing.
Again the auto got the start of
the train on leaving town, and as
there is a grade for a few miles going
north from Rago it was an easy mat-
ter for the auto to gain on the train.
The roads were good nearly every
inch of the way and the auto engine
worked perfectly, making it an easy
matter to cover 30 miles per hour or
better where the track was smooth.
Itonly took a little while until King-
man was reached,and when we crossed
the Santa Fe track on Main street the
Santa Fe extra, "scheduled like a
bullet,” came puffing in about a
block behind. After making the
crossing we stopped the car to the
side of the track to witness the cheer-
ing and waving of handkerchiefs from
the engineer and many passengers
who were on the train. "BuUe ”
schedules such as the Santa Fe issues
have no business bumping up against
a Reo touring car when the roads are
n good shape. The only thing we
felt a little ticklish about on the trip
was the danger in taking the boys
over the roads so fast. Mr.Reneau
occupied the front seat with us and
we noticed on several occasions that
he was holding on with both hands.
We had no time to look back to see
how the boys in the back seat were
conducting themselves and getting
along, but an occasional suggestion
from them that "I think we’ll beat
it, led us to believe that they were
all right and when the race was won
they all seemed glad that they were
members of the party. Mr. Reneau
was ting keeper and figured it out
that the run from Harper to King-
man was made in 80 minutes.-and
that from Manchester to Kingman
n 2 hours and 36 minutes, driving at
usual speed from Manchester to
Harper.
—Mrs. Veach and five children from
Ellsworth, Kansas, are here visiting
her sisters and brothers. Mrs. A. E.
Deere, Mrs. John Hime and Fred
Radke. Much to her disappointment
her other sister. Miss Clara Radke
and her mother, Mrs. Louise Radke,
had started east on a visit just before
she came.
—Miss Edna Pickens passed her ex-
amination and secured a certificate to
teach school. Others from Manches-
ter who attended the normal also
passed, but we have not yet learned
just who they were. We hope to see
Miss Edna get a good school for the
winter.

The following from Gov. Haskell is
self explanatory:
1. M. Simmons, Editor
Manchester, Oklahoma.
Dear sir:—
As an advocate of the motto, "let
the people rule,” and for the election
of Bryan and Kern, let us all realize
that our government is sacred to us.
^ jv&nt our candidates for public
offlcTto discharge their duties free
from any bargains, claims, or obliga-
tions, with or to any one, but the
great mass of honest people.
It takes money to pay the necessary
expenses of a campaign.
The Medford Patriot was still as a
mouse last week on the bank guaranty
law. Do you know why? We do, and
will tell you: Palmer has been an ad-
vocate of the bank guaranty law ever
since the Democratic party fathered
the thought. It looked mighty good
to him and he lias always supported
it-that is until now. But things have
changed now, and Palmer must shut
up. He holds a government position
as postmaster at Medford, and it has
become necessary that he keep mum
on the bank guaranty question. It’s
this way: The Wall Street money
sharks, who are responsible for ail the
money panics this country has ever
had, have been to see Willie Taft, the
Republican candidate for president
and when they fixed up Willie's noti-
fication speech (which Willie read to
thecommlttee) they inserted a clause,
in it whereby Willie was made tosay
that he was against the bank guar
anty law, such as Oklahoma now has,
and Palmer must change base; or

—A family of German-Russians
direct from southern Russia via New-
Vork and Galveston bound for Tan-
gier, the first station west of Wood-
ward, where they have relatives,
were at the Santa Fe station last
week waiting to make connection
with the West bound passenger train
on the Santa Fe. The people were
quite well educated, the man being
an expert photographer who con-
ducted a studio in his home city in
Russia (the name of the town was too
much of a jawbreaker for us to re-
member) and was amply provided
with means to make the long journey
from his native land to this country.
They were nine weeks on the road
and their recital of the inhuman
treatment they received in Castle
Garden and the unwarranted deten-
tion at that place for over four weaks,
and final release of the family, and
ordering the others, a brother and
his wife and the aged mother of the
men, to be returned to Europe on
account of the old lady’s advanced
age, was a pathetic and almost iti-
ered i table story. The family had
evidence of controlling property to
the value of about *13,000, and it
appeared to us, after hearing the
story of the man that a big hold-up
was contemplated by unscrupulous
immigration officers. There is some-
thing very rotten in the management
of the immigration bureau at New
York, and if only part of the story of
these immigrants is true the pl&oe is
a disgrace for the American nation.
The case will be reported to the
Russian authorities and we may hear
about it later on. The people are
