FREE SPEECH

It was telegrsphed over the country
the other day that Dodge City men had
gotten up q petition TO st. John and
Campbell asking them not TO come
there to hold a temperance meeting as It
was announced they would on the 18th.
This was said to have come from +lead-
ing citizens" and It was made because
the fear wss expressed that the holding
of q meeting there by these celebrated
temperance workers would lead 20
trouble. Has il come 20 tho pass that
there is single town In
Kansas where freedom of
speech is denied? These gentle
men are engaged in the advocacy of a
cause Of the greatest importance to hu-
manIty, and the people Of Dodge City,
If they have taken such action. have been
guilty Of the most disgraceful conduct,
oughly ashamed OF q course which
brands them as ruhians. The whisky
cause must be IN desperate straits, even
in Dodge City, if it has concluded to
prohibit free speech. II this
threat or warning is car
ried out on the part of Dodge
City-if any violence Is done to Messrs.
st. John and Campbell when they 60
there, as go they undoubtedly win, 1t
will be the largest mani that was ever
driven into the anti prohibition coffin.
The people OF Kansas are as much as
ever In favor OF frea speech. the very
principle that gave her birth as q COM
monwealth, ard there will be trouble
always when attempts are made to stifie
the public discussion OF quesliOns of
vital moment. 1t seems odd enough
that attempts should be made to abridge
this privilege at this day on the plains of
Kansas.

GRANrs KEAKNEss

General Grant has, always shown too
great desire for money. This did not
come, evidently, from avariciousness in
it's general sense, but from a desire for
show. This has been the Generals
weakest point. 1t lead him to tarnish
his splendid record by accepting Valua-
bic presents while in office and has
caused him to do other acts which
lowered HIM in the esti.
nation OF the better judgment of the
people OF the country. This Is a money
worshipping age, it is true, and there is
quite too much disposition to disregard
the methods OF getting money, SO one
gets It; but at the same time there is
pride throughout the country in Grants
wonderful military achievements, which
always revolted at his course in letting
himself down to the level of mere
money maker. A large number Of peo-
pie believe there is something really
more enduring than q bank account, and
houses and lots. They believe genius is
entitled to confederation. Many felt
that General Grant had this,
and it had made him q
name which should live
through all the coming ages, They
felt that it ought not TO be furnished In
scrabblIng for dollars. He stood on e
pinnacle SO high that it ought not to haYe
been reached by sordiS worldliness. A
magnificent gift of money was raised
from the public To enable him to live
without fear OF any pressure from
want durlpg his lite. The desire to as
sist his sons was of course laudable,
but he doubtless now sees
where his weakness has placed
him. He will receive the SYM
patty Of the country, but, as the Boston
Journal we'll says, "lhe sympathy will,
however, be mingled with deep regret
that the ex-presidsnt should ever have
consented for single moment to be used
by stock spectators. He lost his golden
opportunity to remain the first
he stepped into the business
arena. 1t Is now proposed to place
General Grant on the retired list, and we
trust that his income will be ample TO
place him In an independent position.
It is Notifying to the American people
that q man who did 80 much for the
Union should in his later years be the
victim of his own errors. General Grant
has been abused by personal friends,
who should have warned him to keep
away from transaction where an honest
man has SO little chance of success, in
stead of trying to coin money out of his
great reputation.

CHARLES O,CONOR.

Cbss. O'COror, whose death is an
nounced by telegraph, was one Of
the most eminent lawyers the country
has produced. He was born in New
York In 1904. His father was an Irisk
gentleman of education. The son re-
ceived q common school education, and
was admitted to the bar in 1924.
By his untirIng industry he made his
way to The leadership of the legal pro-
fessional in New York, which he long
held, having been retained in many of
the most important cases since 1910. He
was always Democrat, but never held
any Office except that OF district attor-
ney for g few months during the
administration of Franklin Pierce, and
that of member of the constitutional
convention in New York IN 1854. In
1858 he was nominated for president by
one wing of the Democratic party, and
received complimentary votes IN several
states. For some years he had lived in
retirement at the home where he died.
HIS health had been feeble fer several
years.

The failure of the Marine bank In
New York emphasizes again the fact
that bank directors do not give proper
attention to their duties, and do not
keep themselves posted as they should
regarding the conditions OF the institu.
uons which they are supposed to
supervise with daily care. 1t seems
that in this latest case the directors
held n meeting on the very morning of
the failure and ordered the discouuting
Of some $200,0OO OF commercial paper, q
considerably larger sum than the total
cash holdings of the bank, as was proved
. lew hours later. To believe them honest
men we must think they did not know
the situation ofthings, but their integrity
gets vindicatlon at the expense of their
reputation for business sense and the
performance Of official duty. Itlurns out,
too, that the failure Was due TO outside
speculations with the banks money by
one ofits executive officers, and the dlrec-
tors do not appear to have had any snspi-
cion OF that either. though it Is to pre-
vent just such things that directors are
understood TO be attached to banks.
