SEN. CURTIS LED
POPULAR VOTE
Regular Republican Candidate
Beat Bull Mooaer 10,000 in
Recent Kansas Primary
Query: If Roosevelt can't beat
Taft in Kansas can lie beat Wil
son anywhere?
Curtis, regular Republican,
polled 10,000 more votes for sen
ator in Kansas than Stubbs, Bull
Moose candidate. Press dispatch
es announced last week that
Stubbs had beaten Curtis. This
was technically true, because the
vicious primary law of Kansas
gives a nomination for senator to
the man who carries a majority
Of the legislative districts, which
Stubbs did, although he was 10,
000 behind on the popular vote of
the state.
Like Colonel Teddy, Governor
Stubbs is bawling loudly each day
of the week in favor of the rule
of "the peepul," but up to date he
hasn't declined the Kansas sena
torial nomination in favor of Sen
ator Curtis, who beat him 10,000.
Furl her evidence that the
Roosevelt boom is mostly wind is
found in the returns from the
First and Third Congressional
districts of Kansas, represented by
Anthony and Campbell, regular
Republicans. All the weight of
the lloosevelt-Stubbs state ma
chine, greased with Perkins steel
Irust-harvesli'r trust money, was
liurled against Anthony and
Campbell. Result: Anthony was
nominated with a margin of 2,000
and Campbell was 2,500 ahead.
Particular interest attaches to
I lie result iu Campbell's district
because he is classed by the Col
unel as an undesirable citizen on
account of a speech he made ridi
culing the Colonel in the House
last spring. The Colonel was so
mad about it that when he visited
Kansas on his harvetser trust
campaign for the presidential
lomination he went into the Third
listrict and slobbered a frothy al
ack on Campbell, ordering I he
/oters lo put the congressman <»fV
he map.
The query si ill presses: If the
Colonel runs third in Kansas in
vhat stale does he expect to run
irst?

Caiullv crook was discovered Hi
years ago, and coincident with tin*
discovery of gold, coal was found
ou Chicago crook, a few milos
distant. Naturally the miners he.
gan to burn tho coal to thaw Iho
frozen gravel, as well as for cook
ing and othor domestic purposes.
\Vhen the coal land was with
drawn from entry in 1906 by
former President Roosevelt, an
agenf of the government notified
these miners that. Ihov were de
fying Iho law-that. they could not
hiine the coal-that it was illegal,
etc., but the miners kopt right on
attending to their knitting. Every
■year they took out a few hundred
tons of coal and a fow hundred
thousand dollars in gold dust.

Ho reiterated that they couldn't
mine the coal because it was
against the law. Tho minors
showed him a notice posted in
very saloon which road: "There s
never a law of Hod or man which
runs north of 53. This if 60.20." 2
Tho agont hurried back and ro_ '

Then tho spocial agont* of tho 1
ultra-conservationists decided '
that these Candle crook miners
wore not solilng any coal and were
not interfering with the lucrative
graft enjoyed by the Eastern coal
interests, and that, for the present,
anyway, it would be just as well
to let them enjoy themselves. If
they were getting any fun out of
it, why, they weren't hurting any
body. and what was the use of

fctrong, healthy, determined fel
lows who mistakenly thought they
had rights in the premises simply
because they had gone out into
the wilderness and found these
coal mines, when the Eastern con
servationists were not watching
them?- So they have been allow
ed to keep on mining the coal and
incidentally getting rich and en
joying life in a place that is hap
pily alcoholic, maltous and nar
cotic. Candle creek consumes
more beer, whisky and cigars per
capita than any othor city in the
United Stales, but that is inciden
tal.
Anyway, Crulcher and his asso
ciates are going right, ahead, just
the same as if Ihey had never
heard of GilTord Pinchot. One of
them oven had the insolence, when
the name of the great founder of
conservation propaganda was
mentioned, to inquire: "Pinchot?
Let me see. Where does he tend
bar?"
One of their gold ships will
be placed on Candle creek and the
other on the Kougarok river. Both
streams have produced a tre
mendous amount of money, the
latter stream being opened by Bill
Meyers, a veteran of the Metabele
war in South Africa, who after
ward took charge of the coal

on ?p ning then;, just as though
