RESPECTFULLY, (THE ONE PRICE BETTER CLOTHES STORE) politically Is the next presidential election, and It is the determination of the special interests to control that election if possible. They will work for that end secretly when posnible, but openly whon necessary. They are determined to have a successor for the president who is unlike the president. They do not want a continuation of the law enforcement regulation programe Inaugurated by Mr.

Roosevelt, and which would be carried forward under a man like Secretary Taft. They are for an "old guard" president next time a man who would work with Aldrich, Eikins, Foraker, Piatt, Penrose and men of that stripe. And the issues will be sharply drawn before the contest reaches conclusions in favor, you may be assured of the people. Kansas City Star. The Anti-Pass bill soon to be Introduced in the Kansas Legislature is sufficiently comprehensive in scope and clear in phraseology to meet the requirements.

The exceptions are consistent and meet every probable circumstance under which a railroad would be justified in issuing free tran sportation or making reduced rates. This bill should become a law. It will be estrongly urged by the "Square Dealers" in the Legislature and out. Congress legislated against free transportation. The states should meet that legislation so as to make the restrictions against the use of the pass complete and effective.

In Kansas there is special need for such a law. The railroads have a tremendous grip on the government, state, county and municipal, 'and this hold has been secured and maintained very largely through the distribution of transportation favors. By preventing the issuances of passes Kansas will take a long step toward relief from the domination of the railway corporations That step must be taken. The pend ing bill is one of great importance. It is well that it should be introduced early in the session.

A vote on that measure will pretty clearly show the line of demarkation between the in dependent members and the railroad members. And that showing ought to be made as soon as possible. K. Star. The Kansas City Star says Senator Long, was for Simmons for speaker of the Kansas House, for the reason that Simmons is against a primary law, and that Long would rather take chances on being re-elected before the legislature two years hence, than before the people, whether the vote is by a direct expression by voters, or through legislators elected by the pri mary system.

There never was any system invented that can so cleverly defeat the wishes of the people as the convention system in its up-to-date manipulation. Kansas will have a primary law this winter whether it hurts Long or not. The Republican party does not dare refuse to pass the law. The supreme court of Missouri on Monday granted the appeal of Mrs. Aggie Myers, convicted at Kansas City of murdering her husband.

This will also act as a stay of execution for Frank Hottman, her partner in the crime. Both were under sentence to hang Thursday this week. Both ought to hang, but are first entitled to a fair hearing in all the courts to which their case can be properly appealed. This thing of a woman taking in a side partner and going to work hacking the old man to pieces is getting alto gether too fashionable, and should be discouraged before it becomes epidemic. Farm for Rent.

120 acres prime corn ground for rent can furnish teams and implements if wanted. For furthur infor mation call on Phil N. Hicks, 33t4x Glenloch, Kansas, full weight, bearing the name ARBUCKLES' ARIOSA COFFEE and the signature of Arbuckle Brothers, which entitles you to presents. That is the genuine article, no matter where you buy it or what price you pay for it. Same old Coffee, same old firm.

If your grocer won't supply, write to ARBUCKLE NEW YORK CITY 1 The efforts of ambitious Texas politicians to defoat Senator Bailey are going to fail. Which will show the folly of trying to beat a man when there Is nobody running Bgainst him. Billy Deford of Ottawa, has been appointed assistant attorney general of New York, at a salary of 84,000, as much as he would get if he were the real thing In Kansas. The enemies of Congressman Curtis insist that the railroads want him elected United States Senator. The Gazette does not know whether they do or not, but it knows they did not four years ago, when they contributed twenty thousand dollars for his defeat.

The government made a net profit of fifty-nine millions during the year just passed. The government lacked just a million dollars of making as much as John D. Rockefeller, which is doing well for a dinky little government like ours. It is the smooth republican scheme to revise the tariff along certain lines, and thus spike the democratic guns to be used in 1908. The republicans will need to spike some guns.

Tariff worship is going out of style, and the republican party must keep up with the fashion if It hopes to win. Immediately after the death of the old miser, Russel Sage, the papers gave it out that Mrs. Sage was a generous and charitable woman, and that she would at once begin the distribu tion of the Sage millions. Have yoa heard of any distribution in your neighborhood? The proofs at hand go to show that Mrs. Sage is as squeeze pod as her husband was.

Almost auy smart boy can learn telegraphy, and get a job as operator at a country station. The pay is so small that an intelligent, grown man can not afford to work for it. The bov who caused the Rock Island wreck, is eighteen years old. It is not right to place such responsibility upon a boy. Men make same mistakes sometimes that this' boy made, and cause deaths as he caused them, but a man is not so likely to do so.

The Rock Island lost property enough in that wreck to have paid a man for several years work, to say nothing df the awful loss of life and the suffering of victims. The railroads are not to blame for this. Every trade, calling and profession, has in it boys who are not competent to fill the places they occupy, merely because they work for less money than men can afford to work for. The law ought to prohibit the employment of boys in Buch responsible positions. Opposition To The President.

The announcement that three measures advocated by President Roosevelt those with reference to a ship subsidy Immigration and the Philipyine tariff are to have no consideration in the present session of Congress is only one of many indications that the anti-adminstrations wing of the Republican partv is going to make a systematic fight on Mr. Roosevelt from now on So far as the ship subsidy la concerned the president's recommendation under that general head was perfunctory, although he did strongly urge mail subsidses between the United States aud Soutli America. But Mr. Roosevelt was urgent on the matter of the Philippines tariff and immigration. To ignore these two things would be a direct retaliation against the president while the ship subsidy business is probably to be let alone for the reason that there would be little hope of accomplishing at this time all that the special interests want in that direction.

That Mr. Roosevelt's policies of reform and progress will meet with much stronger oppositon in the re 37 years, ought to induce everybody to at least sample it. The cities hide many country girls and boys who secretly sigh for a cup of good coffee like "mother" made. "Mother" probably used the old original Arbuckles' the first roasted packaged coffee. Dee that you get the sealed tlfr Miss Mae Filkington, another of the 1906 class of teachers graduated from the Garnett High School, is teaching at Fairmont this winter.

This is une of the small schools in point of bers and is also the smallest schy 0 room of the county. At one lie Tho school at Pleasant Ridge continues to be one of the best in point of enrollment and interest. Miss Katharine Everett is competent to Instruct, and her years of experience has given her the ability to interest her pupils in the subjects such as few possess. Number forty is one of the modern buildings of the county provided with a library of nearly one hundred vol- ums. Further than the library how ever the room is not burdened with apparatus as there is not a chart, map or globe in the school.

Antior) is one of tne small schools in enrollment where it is almost impossible to maintain the interest that is easily sustained in the larger schools. Miss Grace Sarver is teaching her first school here. Her education has been obtained in the Lone Elm school but so thorough has it been that she ranks favorably with most of the high school people and many of those with normal training. All of her work and her methods proclaim her a teacher and we predict that if she contiuues in the work for a few years she will be found at the top of the list. The school building at Colony has been thoroughly renovated during the last year.

The walls have been paper ed and painted, the old coal stoves have been removed and with two modern gas stoves in each room, and with the system cf piping which insures perfect radiation, the question of heating has been solved. The work of all the rooms is in excellent condi tion and with the addition of another teacher, the high school which is one of the probabilities of the coming year, Colony will have a school that from primary to university prepara tory, cannot be excelled in the state. At Hickory Grove where there are twenty-five bright children attending school there is but a six month term maintained. Here is another example of the viciouness of the present school tax system. The children of this dis trict are just as reserving, ana as justly entitled to a maximum term as the children of the more favored ad joining district that can with a much less tax maintain a much longer term and pay greatly increased wages, Miss Lillian Benedict is striving hard to do for those entrusted to her in six months what is being done in eight or nine months for the children in other districts, and should she fail will it be her fault or the fault of the state At Ozark there are seventeen boys and girls who are doing good work with Miss Nellie Hamilton as teacher.

Miss Hamilton is a Linn county teacher whose certificate was indorsed at the beginning of the school term last year and is teaching her second year in this county. As is too often the case in such instances she is practically unknown to the teaching force of this county as she considers herself a Linn county teacher and goes there to attend associations and mingle with the teachers. At one time Ozark was among the largest schools of the county, but Kincaid is now getting the advanced scholars from that district which leaves it with rather a small attendance. The Belleview school has been im. proved and beautifyed until it presents altogether a different appearance from what it did a few years ago.

A hall and belfry have been added which are much needed improvements. Here as in few places, is to bd seeu the effect of young manhood actuated by right motives as its influence is exerted on the) lives of the boys and girls of the community. There is manifest a desire to do right and improve for the sake of right and impi ovetafint that must leave its effect on the community for all time. Many things that are good may be lacking in the school and this teacher, but there is certainly much to command by those who are looking for the good in men and methoas. The school work at Welda, from whence cometh our successor, certainly is in good condition.

Tr.e brilding Is heated with natural gas, two stoves to the room which gives distribution of heat without roasting those near the stove and does away with the old mammoth coal stove that wasan unsightly object in the middle of the room. In the primary room the improvements are perhaps more apparent. Miss Stakes has sash curtains and she has arranged a zoo corner, a geographical corner, and a nature study corner, that are attractive as well as msiructive and which rec-commend her as being a progressive teacher who is always on the look out for the new and novel that will help in her school work. Dr. Milllgau announced last summer when rominated for the legislature that he was for Benson first, last and all the time, and had no second choice.

He made good by four straight votes for Benson, notwithstanding the stampede to Curtis on the fourth ballot. We can now see where Secrotary Coburn of the State Board of Agriculture was very right in declining to give up his place for a few months in the United States Senate. There is only one place in the government that would be a promotion to Coburn and that Secretary of Agriculture in the president's cabinet; and he will win that some day. An Atchison school boy has about the correct idea of the thing. The pupils of the school there asked to state what in their judgment would result from the war bet ween our country and Japan.

This was reply: If Japan and the United States go to war Japan will find she is not dealing with Russia and the United States will discover that she is not dealing with Spain. Gov. Hoch is seriously considering the matter of appointing Tom Wag-staff attorney for the state railroad board. Tom was defeated for re-election as county attorny of Montgomery county because he enforced the prohibitory law, and now Gov. Hoch Is anxious to reward him for his splendid service.

If the appointment is made it will give general satisfaction throughout the state. The Evening News has its doubts as to whether Senator Curtis can measure up to the high ideal of civic righteousness and political purity which the News editor holds ever before him, but if he shall succeed in doing so, the News will not withold its word of commendation. But the News is fair, and serves its notice that "his actions in Washington will be watched and if he favors the big corporations and railroads, the people will seek revenge." The organization in Washington composed of women who are friends or relatives of soldiers, known as the Army Canteen club, has declared that the Brownsville riot would not have occurred if the army canteen had been established at the Brownsville post. This may not betrue, but it does seem reasonable. If the negro troops had been given canteen privileges and restrictions at the post they would not have made themselves objectionable in town and would not have frequented the low "Jim Crow" saloons where very bad brands of liquor were sold and where there was no restriction on the amount absorbed.

Practical temperance is in favor of the army canteen; theoretical temperance is against it and theoretical temperance won over congress in spite of the fact that the judgement of a majority of the members was in favor of maintaining the canteens. The wives and daughters and sisters of soldiers and sailors are strongly in favor of the canteen, but they are outnumbered by women who belong to various temperance hocieties having less knowledge of the real conditions and needs of soldiers. The army canteen will be restored in due time. Its restoration Is essential to the good of the army, Irom either a military or a moral standpoint. Kansas City Star.

"We dined in some of the finest hotels and restaurants, but did not find any coffee to excel ityArbuckles'ARIOSA" That is what one lady writes and millicr.s of others prove they believe, by wing more Arbuckles' ARIOSA Coffee than all the other packaged coffees in the United States put together. The fact that Arbuckles' ARIOSA Coffee costs less and has suited the health and taste of xaost American people for over Maple Grove has always been one of the interesting schools of the county. The school board are noted for their desire to have one of the neatest and best taught schools in the county. The teacher, this year, Miss Ruby Bacon, brings to the school a wealth of technical knowledge and fund of experience which guarantees success. Order, interest and punctuality are here seen at their best and the children are being trained in the important lessons of life which make for good citizenship.

As we stepped into Miss Grace Oman's school room at Cleveland we could hardly imagine th.it it was the same old room where we taught our first school, and which we have seen often Bince, always with the wish that something might be done to improve the blackness of its appearance. The room has been plastered and painted and with the aid of Miss Oman's decorative skill presents such an attractive appearance that it is scarcely inferior to any in the county. Interest in schoolwork seems to have advanced in proportion with the beauty of the room and the people are to be congratulated on conditions as they now exist in their district. There seems to be a growing sentiment in the Salem district to unite with Selma and give the pupils of these districts the advantage of a graded school. Concentration of interests in the present day success along business lines and there is a business principal in education which makes it absolutely necessary that consolidation shall come in order that education may be a fit preparation for present day business, and yet in this case there must be a feeling of regret when it is contemplated that abandoning the site of the Salem school- the room was well equipped vi jn Ah Mae apparatus but the most of it is ba: worn and generally out of date.

Scj people fail to realize that school paratus and school methods to be up with the times must change to respond social, governmental, and material advancement, and child who would study the same itical and commercial geography or- and the pol- used by his father would be as far bahind the present day facts as the old nibus is inferior to the modern man coach. torn- all- Since changing the site of Buffalo school house is no longer an issue the board has promised to make some much needed repairs, such as papering 1 the room, putting in new blackboards, painting the buildings and beautifying the property generally. Miss Grace -Wilson who is teaching her first term of school is demonstrating the fact that she has not mistaken her calling. Gaining necessary experience, it may be at the expense of her pupils, but by her fervor and personal interest in each child and the example of her struggle to obtain an education, she is inspiring the pupils of number twenty-seven with the possibilities that them. 6 4 P- Grippe or nv-Hcjhever you like to call it, is-'- cno ths weakening diseases fcsovn, Scoffs vhich is Cod Liver Oil and.
