SONS OF PRETORIANS.

AT the Chattanooga meeting OF eX-cOn-
federates a proposition to form ''SOns
of Veterans Association was made
and referred to committee, where it
ought to die. The ex-confederates have
thus far shown no such disposition to
pretorianism as animates the military
politicians of the G.. A. r., but this
''Sons of Veterans" business is pretor.
ianism of the worst sort, says the Re-
public.
AS long as Americans are Americans
caste of any kind will lie odious to them,
and military caste the most odiOus of
all. This is civil government for CIV
ilians, not military machine for pre-
torians their pretOrian sons, whether
sons of federals or sons of confederates.
The man who insists that he is some
thing better than civilian because at
one period of his life he has been SOL
der is not fit for an American, and
when he tries to transmit to his sons
his own disposition to arrOgate superb
GRITTY he is fool, and very dangerous
one.
The fetish worship of brass and cop
per buttons has had full swing in this
country for twenty years, and it is
time to stop it. There are advocates
enough of American civil liberty still
left to do it. The pretorians among
the veterans have been claiming every
thing on both sides. AS long as they
merely demanded the offices and practi-
cally denied the right of civilians to
hold any Office pretOrian had set his
heart on, it was not so bad, in that ii
was at least tolerable. A patriotic
American can find something better to
do than tax-eating, and when the vet
Grams set themselves up as the tax-eat-
ing class par enrinene, believers in civil
government went OH about their bust
ness waiting for the end to come some
day.
But the pretorians have no idea OF
letting it come. They wish to put cop
per buttons on their sons, so that pre-
torianism may be extended, with theil
families as a ruling military class, fol
generations to come. We can have
some charity for the griZzled old fel
lows who have actually seen war, but
none for these sappy-headed young
greenhorns who wish to take theil
places as privileged class. They shall
not have pensions; they shall not eat
taxes. They shall work for living, NJ
matter how hard the work or how little
they like 1T. The copper buttons thei
fathers stick on them will not cleo
them dog-cathers. This is a govern
ment intended to be of, for, and by civ
ilians, who work for living. 1t is ;
pretorlan government for a milital.
class and other classes Of tax-eaters a
present and is likely to be for somt
time to come; but civilians will draw tn
line at government by sons of pretor

4th. We believe that majority of the people
rule; that the voice of the people should be re-
sPected and that this principle is the founda-
ton of the republican party We believe that
the present prohibition law of Kansas, as en-
forced is detrimental both to the moral wei
fare and the material interests of the state of
Kansas"
1t these re-submission republicans
were in earnest when they signed the
petitions, is it not fair to conclude
that they are yet interested in the
movement?
The state central committee of the
republican re-submission party has
called state convention for Wichita.
September 9th.
If Barber county republicans are yet
interested in the subject, they should
commence to organize the county and
send delegation of representative cit
liens to the Wichita convention.
Democrats are not particularly inter
ested in this republican fight of prohi-
bition; but the columns of the INDEX,
as heretofore, will always be open to
those who desire to reach the public OH
any honest or meritorious issue.

Several times, lately, we have heard
it stated that there were few re -submis-

of re-submitting the prohIbitory amend
ment to vote of the people, and re-
questing Senator Long and Representa-
