Keld T.Tredway Senator 14th IMatrlct J. L. Martin The national, stale and county Republican tickets represent the grandest political organization that ever had an existence, and the nominees must be voted for if the party Is to be Bacce9sf ul. ai We hear it said that thia is a very Quiet campaign, and so far it is, The campaign has only just com menced. But the indications are that It will be quiet as compared to tome campaigns, because every body, or at least a bie majority oi the -voters, have made up the! minds how they are going to vote, And that vote is very likely going to be satisfactory to the Republi cans.

The indications are that the Republicans will have a bigger ma lority than four years The people are satisfied with the pros perity we have had and are having nd do not care to risk a change, Changes-are dangerous, as has been found oat before. We never had better times than the people are enjoying today. President Roosevelt Is a perfectly safe man, and can be depended upon In all emergen cles. He has been tried and has proved his 'sterling qualities in ev a ery emergency where courage and statesmanship was needed. The people are satisfied and will "make no change.

A Wet Blauket. Harper's Weekly, which, while professing to be Impartial, is really In favor of Parker's election, forced In Its latest Issue to admit that Parker made a mess of it in his speech of. acceptance. It says that "Judge Parker's speech fell upon his party like a wet blanket," add Ing: "No experienced observer can fail to recognize the fact that the Judge failed to rise to the occasion not only refusing to avail himself of the advautage already his, but even going so far In pronouncing the Democratic platform admirable as to weaken the position he already held." The Weekly goes on to say that: "Some Democratic newspapers in sUt that their candidate is only bidding his time and later wll sound the Inspiring note," but It expresses doubt about this, since It Is difficult to escape the conclusion that first Impressions, especially ol an unknown candidate, are apt to be lasting. Its conclusion is: "We unhesitatingly record the belief, therefore, that the effect of the two peecbes of acceptance has been a material improvement in Republi can prospects." That Is the unhesitating belief of all Impartial and competent observ era.

The Judge had his chance, and he failed to rise to it. "Right dar," Uncle Remus would say, "right dar whar he drap de water million!" He will never have the opportunity again. The "water million" is a ruin, a hopeless mens, and all that he and his party can do will not suffice to make It whole again. A Week ot Liquor Cases.

SOXB FACTS AND FIO0KKS WHICH GO TO PKOVI THAT KAKSAS HAS A- REPUBLICAN UT, ALRKADT IN FORCB, THAT IS MUCH bcttek thak I the Texas Railway Law or the Railway law of aht other western state. There are one million five hundred and fifty-nine thousand nine hundred and nine ty-seven of him, In Kansas not counting the. two legged osee just one for every man, woman and child In the state with quite a few extra ones for visitors and they live- to tat, get big and grow fat. while they die that the skillet may be greased, that civ ilized nations may successfully war against nations, and that the world may live oat its allotted time without "hot boxes." grinding cogs, squeaking Joint or other unnecessary friction.

Kansas la the home of the hog; and the philosophy of his production and marketing Involves not only cheap feed and economical handling, but safe, expeditions and cheap transportation from the farm of his making to the slaughter pen where bis final taking off transforms him Into pro ducts which enter into practically every thing that goes to make life worth living; and this brings ns to the consideration of the first and last railway Journey. As it is often charged not by the farmers or producers but by the legislative candidate and others, that Kansas railways collect exorbitant prices for hauling hogs from Kansas shipping points to Kansas City and other markets, we have collected tariff sheets ol other railways, In other states, to other markets and these figures are official for the sole purpose of giving to our read' era the actual comparative facta. The truth is what our patrons pay for, and we try to tell the truth at ail times and upon every subject of public Interest. Everybody eats grease. Nothing goes without grease.

The Waterbury watch, the type-writer both the machine, and the girl the railway train. the battleship; all must be greased, or they will not go. Even the Kansas legislature thinks it can't go without "grease," but it will discover next winter that it can and must. The Kansas hog is grease the best in the land and it is important that he be accorded that consideration rightly due him as one of the principal factors in the world's going; for the world cannot go with him, But this story has nothing to do with him except the transfer fiom his home on the Kansas farm to the place of his final undo ing lie packing house where his greasy remains are made into an hundred greasy products and distributed to the ends of the earth. We find that a farmer living near Duudas, Minnesota, who ships, his bogs to St, Paul, a distance of 43 miles, pays cents an hundred to the railway company lor the service.

The Texas farmer, living in the Texas hog country, 40 miles out of Fort Worth, pays 9 cents an hundred over a single line of railway, or 12 cents per hundred pounds "over wo lines. A Nebraska hog producer, who khips from a point 33 miles out ol Omaha, pays 9J i cents an hundred. From Lawrence, Kansas, to Kansas City, by the Hants Fe railway, is 40 miles. The hog rate is cents an hundred pounds. These are short hauls.

From Mt. Auburn, Iowa, to St. Faul, is 223 miles. Hog rate 21 cents. From any point in Texas, 200 to 250 miles out of Fort Worth, the hog rate over a single line of railway is 18 cents; over two lines, 22 cents.

From Wichita to Kansas City, by the Hanta Fe. is 213 miles. Hog rate, 19V cents per hundred pounds. The Democrat party, in its platform, "demands that the Texas railway law shall be adopted In Kansas. Let us see about this Texas rail way law.

From any point in the Texas hog country, 200 miles out ot Fort Worth, which Is the northern Texas hog market, the tariff rate on bogs, over a single line of railway, is 18 cents; over two lines of railway, 21 cents. From El Dorado to Kansas City, by the Santa Fe, is 202 miles. Hog rate, 18 cents per hundred which at present prices, is about eight and a half ponnds of the gross weight of a 225 pound hog, for its transportation from El Dorado' to Kansas City. The farmer cheerfully pays his neigh bor forty or fifty cents a head for hauling a wagon load of hogs four or five miles, to the nearest railway station, and Just as cheer fully pays the railway company forty or fifty cents a head for hauling the same hogs 200 miles to Kansas City. It's the walking delegate, the candidate, the grafter, who ships nothing, who is first to tell the farmer that he is being held np and robbed by the railways.

In the meantime, if the neigh bor's team that is hauling a load of hogs to the railway station should kick up Its heels, run away and kill the hogs, the owner would get no pay for the loss. But, should the railroad pinch the tail of a pig, or Injure its squeal, a Kansas judge and Jury would briug In a verdict of gross negligence on the part of the railway and would assess the damages at twice the value of the hog. But why multiply figures? We give the short and long hauls in half a dozen different states to packing house centers, which should suffice. These figures, taken In con' nection with those already printed In these columns, show that Kansas cattle and hogs are hauled to market, by Kansas railways, a shade cheaper than cattle and hogs are hauled to market in other states, by other railways. For instance: From any point in Nebraska, 175 miles, to Omaha, the hog rate is 18 cents.

Same distance in Texas, 17 cents; same distance in Iowa, 18 cents; same distance in Kaunas, 17 cents per hundred, And there you are. Kvery man in Kansas who knows anything, knows that Kansas railways bear much more than their jnst proportion of taxes; and everybody in the state who knows anything, knows that the taxpayers, the farmers, the stock raisers and shippers are not "demanding" the enact ment ot the Texas railway law, or any other Texas law, for, as Mr. Hoch said in his "opening speech" in Marlon, Thursday, Kansas has the best railway law today of any state, east or west, while the patrons of Kansas are, as a rule, satisfied to not only let our railway law alone but to let the Democratic party alone to sleep ana dream of what it could, but wouldn't do, if given a chance which is not to happen in this land ot the tree and home of brave this year or any other right-away-qulck year now on the 20th century calendar. Dally Republi can (El Dorado, Kansas). Humboldt First-And Always.

Tite Union is approached so of ten with advertising propositions from merchants in other towns that it scarcely considers It worth noticing. These merchants have a right to ask for space. In our paper, and we have a right to accept or refuse such offers, but as long as Hum boldt merchants do their share of advertising with ns we are not go ing to be disloyal to our town or hold a club over the merchants heads. And we are not going to do it, even then. For Humboldt has been our home for a good many years and The Union has had a hand in making the town what It is today, and while not always receiv ing credit for what It has done, it has kept up the fight in season and out, and feels justly proud of the town and its many natural advan tages, which are beacon lights for its future greatness.

The me chants could do better In the mat ter of advertising in The Union, and they will surely find it will prove profitable to them. We would not object to a considerable increase pur advertising, patronage from home merchants right now. As a result of the republican financial and industrial policies we have today in the Treasury of this country more gold belonging to the united "States than was ever held by any government In the history of the world. Oil Purchasing Station. Chanute, Sept.

19. (Spec ial). An important conference was held here' Saturday evening between Joseph Seep, of Oil pity. general purchasing agent for the Standard Oil Company, and John O'Brien, pipe line superintendent for Kansas, Ohio and Indiana, and a special committee of the Local Cil Producers' Association. The mat-' ters under discussion were In regard to the 20 cent differential between North and South Neodesha oil prices, and the establishment of a purchasing station at this point.

The matter of, credit balances was also taken up. The officials promised that they would recommend the location of the purchasing station here, which assures it. The oil producers in the North Neodesha field will be great ly benefitted, as the station will enable them to secure checks for oil from two to. four days sooner than at present. Checks are issued from the Neodesha office.

Not only Chanute will secure a purchasing station, but it is said that Peru, Bartlesvilie, and one or two other points will be equally as fortunate. "We intend to give to the Kansas field the same accommodations and treatment as the Eastern fields," Mr. O'Brien said. As to the differential, the officials promised to take the matter up at once in the East and gave assurances that the matter would be adjusted satisfactorily. The last oil from the Chanute and Humboldt oil fields has been run to the Neodesha refinery.

From this time on all oil in the North field will be run to the Humboldt tank farm or to the Sugar Creek reffnery, at Kansas City. An end to conjes-tion for the North field has come, for by the completion of the (Stand ard pipe line a great amount of storage room is made available at Humboldt. The Kansas City pipe line and the line from Chanute to Humboldt have been completed. The latter line holds 1,750 barrels and in a test it took a little over three hours to fill it. The test was all that could be desired, no leaks of any consequence being found.

The first tank on the Humboldt farm has been completed and another will be completed there in a few days giving 70,000 barrels' storage at once. Not only will this storage at Humboldt be available, but oil will be run soon from Humboldt to Kansas City. The pipe line alone will hold 70,000 barrels, and then several 35,000 barrel storage tanks are already completed at Sugar Creek. The Humboldt-Kan-sas City line will be tested this week. It will be filled with water a first, as an oil test would be too expensive, if some bad leaks should be found.

The water test will take two or three days and after the line is inspected and the leaks fixed, oil will be started through it and from that time it will be kept filled. Now For Waterworks in Oor City. At its meeting last week the city council ordered that a petition be circulated for the purpose of securing enough signatures so that an election may be held to vote on the proposition to issue $45,000 in bonds, to be used to put in a first-class system of waterworks. This is what The Union has been fighting for ever since the former petition was held up, and we are glad the council has at last concluded, unanimously, to order another petition circulated. A good system of waterworks will do a whole lot towards building up our city, and there should not be any opposition to the proposed bond issue, as it means greater growth, better sanitary conditions, better protection from fire, and a greater inducement in the location of factories.

All these should be enough to cause any citizen to sign the petition to call an election, and then vote for the bonds. Again we say, let the good work go on. Humboldt is rapidly getting In line to become the best, the cleanest, and the prettiest town in the Kansas oil field. Barnum Bailey's Show. A large aumber of excursion par ties have already been arranged for the purpose of visiting the famous Barnum Bailey Greatest Show on Earth when it exhibits in Iola, Sep tember 26.

All transportation lines give cheap excursion rates td the big show and thousands of people in this vicinity will take advantage of the opportunity to see this co lossal modern exhibition. The Barnum Bailey Show, was not only the original combined circus, menagerie and hippodrome, but it has kept so far ahead of all other shows on these distinct lines that It is beyond the range of rivalry or comparison. In New York City, where the great show opened a five weeks' season in March, and where it played to record-breaking busi ness, press and public vied In prais ing the performance.

ivm The oil was turned into the line from Chanute to Humboldt Sunday, and started on its way to the tank farm here, where it will be stored In the big tanks until the line to Sugar Creek has been tested. The test will be made with' water pressure as there is a chance of a break somewhere in the line, and water would be cheaper to waste than oil. The oil from the Humboldt field and for several miles south of Cha nute will be piped to the Humboldt tank farm and from thence to the Sugar Creek refinery, and none of the oil which has been known as "North Neodesha" will be pumped to Neodesha again. There will soon be two tanks completed here and that will give storage capacity for 70,000 barrels; of oil. Other tanks wilf' be built as fast as possible, and the danger of oil congestion in this field is practically over.

The only delay now will be the completion of the refinery at Sugar Creek. The Ross Oil and Oas Co. drilled in a fine oil well Thursday, on the Stranghoner farm, two miles south of town. This is their No. 7 wpII.

It has twenty feet of pay stni, which will make it a good pro ducer. Some claim this well is about on an equal with the Phoenix wells, and if so the Ross has struck a good lead, and should follow it up A big oil well is reported on the Dunham farm, near Leanna, and it is claimed there was 50" feet of pay sand. It should make a monster well. The strike is about eight miles southeast of here. A fine oil well was drilled in near Blue Mound Monday.

It is report ed as having 45 feet of oil sand of good quality. McCarty Brook, of the Humboldt Investment Co. have a nice bunch of leases near this well and it makes them feel good. The Burriss Oil and Gas of Denver, have bought the four acre strip of land just north of the Hamblin land, and will have some wells drilled thereon. The Dor rington Drilling Co.

Our Boys Swiped Chanute. The Humboldt ball team wen down to Chanute last Sunday and defeated the Chanute team in an other game of ball. The score was 7 to 0 in favor of Humboldt, which wasn't at all the way Chanute wanted it to go. The boys say there was a large crowd in attend ance at the game. They will play again next Sunday.

The Hum boldt ball team nearly always comes out victorious with Chanute, and In fact most any other team in this neck 'o the woods. In a column writeup of the game the Chanute Sun winds up the ar tide in this manner: The statement made after the game by some of the home people mat me oatiery was irom ine Iola Missouri Valley league team, is erroneous, as both the players live in Humboldt and never played In the Iola team. The simple fact of the matter is that Humboldt has a ball team that are all home bnvs and they are justly proud of it. The secret or their ability to put op a fine game of ball Is that they play cogetner and use team work in their play. It may seem hard, but It Is no disgrace to be beaten bv such a team.

Eleven children were born to this marriage, eignt oi wnom are living, ah me children except Mrs. Ashbrook. attended the funeral. Mr. McKinley moved to Kansas in 1S79 and has lived in and near Humboldt since that time.

He had been living in Humboldt for several years prior to his death. He joined the Presbyterian church at the age- of eighteen, sixty-five years ago. His children who attended the funeral were: George, John and Scott, of Humboldt; William, of Carlinville, Joseph, of Iola; Charles, of St. Joseph, Mo and Mrs. Reber, of Independence, Mo.

His death occurred at 7:30 p. Thursday, Sept. 15th, at his resi dence on North Twelfth street, and was very sudden, although he had been in feeble health for some lime. An attack of cholera morbus was the Immediate cause of death, as his advanced age left no vitality to stand such an attack. Tho funeral services were held at the residence Sunday at 2:30 p.

and were conducted by Rev. B. C. McQuesten, of the Presbyterian church, assisted by the choir. A large attendance of old friends and acquaintances were present to pay their last tributes to the dead.

The burial took place in Mt. nope cemetery and was attended by large number of friends. The ball bearers were: S. Stew' art, J. M.

Wallace, D. P. Durning, E. N. Wert, S.

S. Speak man and G. W. Moon. The aged wife and the children bave the sympathy of a large circle of friends in this Affliction.

There are a few Democrats in th state with fairly good foresight Among these are the lawyers who re fused to accept the nominations for justices pf the supreme court, which the state convention had the bestowal of a few weeks ago. W. P. Dillard who seems very hopeful of success for the state ticket, declined one of these nominations, becauso of a sadden rash of law business at his home In Fort Scott.
