1t Will Hold Together.

If it should appear that there was
real danger Of the Peoples party
holding together long enough to do
great mischief, the Democrats of
Kansas would unite with the Re
publicans, from whom they differ
chiefly on the tariff and Offices, and
the two would fight against a COM
mon enemy.
When the job was ended the two
parties, would separate and resume
their dispute on the tariff as OF old.
Chicago Tribune.
1t did appear, and still appears,
that the Peoples party held togeth-
err and; are going to continue the
business of holding together. So
the Tribune and it's Republican
and Democratic crew may just as
well "resume their dispute on the
tariff as of DID," for the job of dis
organizing the Peoples party will
never win, and don't you forget it.
The Peoples party is here on legiti-
mate business. It's here on bust
ness that holds together. So you
can just keep on stewing and tus-
ing, or resume the old bloody shirt
cry as of old.

A Noted Divine Speahs Plainly.

In recent sermon on "UefnOGfa
cy," Rev. Heber Newtom said
There must be government OF the
people, by the people, for the PEG
pie. The incoming century would
essay the task Of pcrfecting Repub
lican institutions, which in nc
republic in the world, Switzerland
excepted. has. advanced beyond a
rude form. We are behind other
countries in the dcmocratizatiOn oil
government. We have no city as
we'll governed in the interest of the
mass of citizens as are % score OF
cities in Europe. Glasgow, Berlin
and Paris do far more to- make life
worth the living for the poor than
does New York. Switzerland is
applying legislation heroically to
the end Of cqualizing the conditions
of life. Australia has an eight-hou1
labor law. owns it's railroads., and
generally is. governing as though
the end Of government was in reali-
ty the good of the whole people.
This is the other task before our
country in the coming century.
Less must be spent III the peoples
schools ON the accomplishments
of the few and more on the
necessities of the many. The Kim
dergarten must underlie our system.
Industrial education must at least
be as we'll developed as it now is in
the monarchical lands, of Europe.
Our system Of land tenures must be
revised in the interests; of the dis
franchised people. Idle land in the
suburbs of our cities must be taxed
so heavily as to- place it out OF the
realm of speculative idleness,, and
thus open the way for homes. Mill
eral lands yet to be opened must be
made the property Of the people,
and their royalties turned into an
educational or other public fund,
Our great railroads must be controll-
ed by the state for the benefit of
the. commonwealth. Public func-
tions, in so far as they can be better
discharged by the city than by pri-
waite corporations, must be assumed
by that government of the people
which is really for the people. And
because it will be government by
the people, the associate action of
all of us, we need not fear the cry
of paternalism.. An equal access
to the opportunities of wealth must
be opened by republic The way
to- success must be broadened for
the average man. AS far is con-
sistent with the maintenance of
and sturdy selfhelp-
fulness, the conditions of Life must
be eased for all men.-New Nation.

SAID that Governor Humphrey had

said he came to me as a leading

not vote the Republican ticket that
all the joints would be closed by

would be spoilers at all the voting

watched, and ii any of them was
caught voting against the Republic

close his Joint up"
We take the above from the Inter-
ior-H Herald, and was somewhat sur
prised to see a Republican paper
giving publicity to such damaging
ing evidence against Governor
Humphrey and the state administra-
ton. Here is o plain statement OF
the fact that the governor could and
would close every joint in Wichita
if Reed, the Republican candidate
for judge, was defeated. 1t is a
confession on the governors. part
that he has wilfully, knowingly and
purposely allowed the joints to run
in Wichita when he could at any
time have closed them up. He con-
fesses in this that he has violated
his oath of office and will continue
to do so if the jointists and boot
leggers will help keep %Reed in,
office. This is the party that has
been posing as the friend of tenn
perance, prohibition, law and order,
