It seems another error was made in
the Guymon precinct ticket. Several
of the candidates thought they were
tiling to get on the ballot In precinct 1
and precinct 2. It is a certainty the
candidates could't ge( on in both pre
cincts and thr board probably figured
that precinct 2 would cover tho Guy
mon township ticket, tlgurlng precinct
1 for tho city, as was done a couple of
years ago. What tho Herald hopes to
see come about is a compulsory publi.
cation of the entire 'official ballot for
three weeks in all the county scat pa
pers, as is the law in Kansas. Then, If
the board has made an error, candi
dates have an opportunity to rectify
the same before tho ballots art printed.
We hope the representative from this
county will see to it, whoever ho may
be, that a bill providing for the publi
cation of the state, county and town
ship candidates of all parlies is Intro
duced at this session of the legislature.
This much information is due thu vot
ers and taxpayers of the state. Guy

It is appropriate that wn should re

and whose lofty principles and superb
devotion to his country are an Inspira

Tho Republican Party looks back
upon its record with pride and satis
faction, and forward to its new respon
sibilities with hnpn nnd conlldence. Its
achievements in government constitute
the moat luminous pages in our history.
Our greatest national advance has been
made during the years of its ascenden
cy in public affairs. It has been gen
uinely and always a party of progress;
it has never been either stationary or
reactionary It has gone from tho ful
fillment of ono great plcdgu to the f ill

public need and to tho popular will.
Wu believe in our self-controlled rep
resentative democracy, which is a gov
ernment of laws, not of men, and in
which order is the pre-requisite of pro
gress. The principles of constitutional gov
ernment which mnke provision for or

millions of people, scattered over a
wideband diverse territory, but hound
byConlmon purpose common ideals
and common affection to the Constitu
tion of tho United States. Under the
Constitution and the principles assert
ed and vitalized by It, the United StatCf
has grown to be ono of the great civil
ized and civilizing powers of tho earth.

people's support, and managed by the
people themselves tho Governmental
the United States will meet the prob
lems of the future as satisfactorily as
it Iias solved those of the past,
PnorosED Legislation
The Republican Party is now, as al
ways, a party of advanced and con
struotive statesmanship. It Is prepar
ed to go forward with the solution ol
these new questions which social, econ
omic and political development h:ve
brought Into the forefront of the na
tion's interest. It will strive, not only
in the nation, but in the soveral States,
to enact the necessary legislation to
safeguard the public health ; to limit
effectively the labor of women and
children, to protect wage-earners en
gaged in dangerous occupations, to en
act comprehensive and generous work
men's compensation laws in place of
tho present wasteful and unjust sys
tem of employers' liability, and in all
possible ways satisfy tho just demand
of tho people for the study and solution
of the complex and constantly chang
ing problems of social welfare,
In dealing with these questions itls
important that the rights o( every in
dividual to the freest possible develop
ment of his own powers and resources,
and to the control of his own justly,
acquired property, so far as those are
compatible with the rights of others,
shall not be interfered with or destroy
ed. The social and political slruoture
of the United States rests upon the
civil liberty of the Individual, and for
tho protection of that liberty the peo
ple have wisely, in the National nnd
State Constitutions, put definite limi
tations upon themselves and upon
their governmental officers and agen
cies, To enforce these limitations, to
secure the orderly and coherent exer
cise of governmental powers and to
protect the rights of even the humblest
I and least favored individual, are tho
I function of independent courts of jus
tlce.
j To Urnom Courts
The Republican Party reaffirms lis
and proporty shall bo preserved Invio
late. An orderly method Is provided
under our system of government by
which tho people may, when they
choose, alter or amend thu constitu
tional provisions which underlie that
government. Until these constitution
al provisions aro altered or amended
In orderly fashion, it is tho duty ol the
courts to see to it that when challeng
ed they aro enforced.

State, may bear tho heavy burden laid

"Grasthopper year" story recently
dug up from the catacombs by Tom
McNeal: I was here during the grass
hopper period, and I am ready to bo
lleve any hard luck story that one of
these old settlers can tell, Thoso grass
hoppers would eat anything. My neigh
bor, Job Anderson, was a man who
prided himself on his whiskers. He
had whiskers that measured over four
feot In length and I suppose the grass
hoppers took them for a sheaf of wheat
They were a bright, beautiful yellow
colpr and when they waved in the wind
they did resemble wheat that wus
ready fpr the harvest. Well, the grass
hoppers were near-sighted, and they
didn't have discriminating appetites
anyway. They liton Job the Ilrst tiling
and in less than ten mlnui-s they had
chewed all the whiskers off his faeeund

to fight them off but it wasn't any use.
