A DEMOCRATIC JUDGE BOLTS
CLEVELAND

Judge John Handley, of Lackawana
county, Pa, has announced that he can
not support Cleveland in the coming
campaign. The judge says:
1T is no secret that have declared my
inability to follow Mr.. Cleveland in his
free trade faliacy. He has oyerstepped
line of Democracy and very many Dem
ocrats cannot go with him. / am still a
Democrat, but it seems to be the veriest
folly for any thinking man to take the
position the president has on the tariff
question. Protection is absolutely nee
essary with our sparse population,
which could be put into the single state
of Texas without crowding it even as
much as Germany is crowded.
with our vast, undeveloped resources,
with our immense acreage Of the public
domain unoctupied and unimproved, it
is folly to talk of free trade. When we
have reached population of four or
five hundred millions free trade may do
no harm. l am with Mr.. Randall in
this fight. Like all men who conceive
themselves men of destiny Cleveland
thinks he can run counter to the genius
of the age in which he lives, but in this
case the fatal step is taken. l think the
ticket will be elected

GARFIELD At IT AGAIN.

A Republican administration IN Re-
publican state keeps one Garfield IN a
good soft position in the state university
where he can at leisure inculcate that
miserable Democratic doctrine OF free
trade. Whether ne is kent there in pur-
suance of civil service theories or be-
cause it wouldn't be nice to let politics
touch the life Of our university we
haven't been informed, but If from the
latter theory then we suggest that Mr.
Garfield be notified that free trade IS
politics and politics of the West charac-
ter and most obnoxious. to the great ma
iority of Kansans. If the great state
of Kansas can't afford to question the
politics of its educators il can't afford to
let said educators preach politics. That's
the long and the short Of it. We have
said this before but say it again for the
reason that Garfield as the representa-
tive Of our state institution and at the
expense of a round salary paid him, IS
out on the Pacific coast preaching Gro
yer Clevelands doctrines and 1t may be
as a party we haven't much margin on

FOR STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF
PUBLIC INSTRUCTION.

The friedds of Prof Geo. H. Laughlin
are urging him to become a candidate
for the office of state superintendent Of
public instruction.
Although the number Of candidates is
already large, yet DR.. Laughlin's qualiti-
cations for the position are probably not
surpassed by any of the numerous aspir-
ants for this very responsible office.
DR.. Laughlin has been continuously
engaged in school work for twentv-six
years, having taught in Ohio, Illinois,
Iowa, Missouri and Kansas His ex-
perience extends through all grades
of public school work. He has served sew
eral years as county superintendent and
has taught many years in county in
stltutes. He Is a member of the Aneri-
can institute of civics, and has long
been an earnest advocate. both by lee
turing and writing, of methods of
adapting to the public schools the study
which this institute emphasizes-a study
which should be foundation principle
in all systems Of education and develop
ment of American youth. Its influence
upon the caliber of the future citizen is
too obvious to question for moment, a
fact most patent to all who recognize the
potency of early t.aining-''the eternal
granite of first principles.
In addition to successful career in
the public schools, Dr.. Laughlin has been
engaged in college work for dozen
years. He is. therefore. quite familiar
with the relation the public school sus-
talns to college work. For several years.
just previous to his coming to Kansas.
he was president of Hiram college, Ohio
an institution made famous in our
country's history by virtue of General
Gartield's long connection with it as
student. teacher and president.
Or. Laughlin is the recipient of scho-
lastlc degrees in recognition of his sue
cesStul experience and ability as an edu-
Gator. The degrees of A. II. and IL D.
We're conferred upon him in this country,
and that of T. 5. SC. Fellow of the So
ciety of Science) in London, England.
He has written much for school Jour
nails in the west and has been successful
as lecturer before educational bodies.
both IN the east and west He is at
