and police justice, both Americans,
differ on the propriety of the dams du
ventre?
It is un-American, assuredly, but is it
wron., for comely young woman to
appear in a gauzy bewilderment OF
diaphanous, dreamy and delirious tangle
of skirts, plant her feet on the floor and
then begin a series of muscular convul-
sions that would wiggle five-story
building off its foundation?
1t is only teipsichorean fancy, pecu-
liar to oriental countries. Their dance
consists of wabbIing motion of the alb
dominal muscles and violent jerks of the
glu aus maximus. The Egyptian
maiden is sort of twitch virtuoso. She
merely twitches. But she can twitch
SCOT down the CHIMNEY. She can squirm
the shingles off the roof. In her most
convulsive moments she can wrthe ten
penny nails out of a two-inch oak plank.
Is it wrong: The question would seem
TO resolve itself into one Of comparison.
America can endure the vince, but the
writhe Is repugnant. 1t does not shrink
from the twinge, but the grippe is abhor-
rent There is pardon for the aesthetic
culver, but the spasm is an abomination.
Egypt cannot endure the vince, the
twinge or the culver. 1t prefers the
writhe, the grippe and the spasm, which
leaves the question merely matter of
international taste.

FOR THE SAKE OF GEOGRAPHY.

1t is to be hoped that Beaver county
will not secede from Oklahoma, as threat
ened. For the appearance and artistic
arrangement of the western states,
Beaver county should swallow its griev-
ance and stick by Oklahoma.
Beaver county used to be known as No
Mans Land. 1t is an elongated strip of
territory which, in its narrow path
touches Kansas, Colorado, Texas, New
Mexico and Oklahoma.
If it should be tackled onto Kansas it
would hang down on the map of the
state like the drawer on sewing
machine. If the committee appointed
should persuade the governor of Colora-
do to take it under his wing and it
should be joined to Colorado the map of
that state would resemble large fat
man who had sat down hard on a snow
ball and fiattened it out. Should Beaver
county or No Mans Land be attached to
Texas that dominion would show up in
aliases with polo cap set rakishly on
its top-knot.
Again if it should Join New Mexico it
would bear striking esemblance to a
Howitzer sticking out of a port hole. In
fact Beaver county looks best as part
of Oklahoma, and it had better remain
where it is.

HOW WE APPLES SWIM

A number of Republican editors of the
state, following the lead of the Topeka
Capital, are pluming themselves over
the fact that all through the late tur-
MOL, and the after defeat of the party,
that they did not add to the trouble by
fault-finding, not having wavered for a
moment in their advocacy of and devo-
ton to the party, its platform and nomi-
nees. Running back over the history Of
some of these writers but for few years
one might be lead to remark that "a
burnt child breads the fire" In the
published roll of the elect the name of
the editor of the EAGLE is conspicuous
for It's absence, if noted at all Thirty
odd years of devotion to the party as a
publisher and writer counts for nothing
in the face of the "Murdock Rebellion. -
And this is no protest, not even an ex-
PLANTATION or an apology. The EAGLE is
a Republican paper, but one with the
courage of its convictions, we hope.
If It's party is making a mistake, in
the judgment of its editor, it will
not hesitate to say so nor yet to criticise
disparity leaders. That day is past when
political writers and speakers. however
combined or however unanimous, can
direct or lead the great body of voters at
will. The very fact that there are
"kickers" is guaranty to the hopeful
for better things, who otherwise. in the
face of apparent unanimity for what
was considered wrong might first de-
spair and then desert as thousands of
them did in the past two years. These
thousands, in part, are returning, not
because these political editors stood by
the state but rather because the state
was smashed in spite of the unflinching
support given it by the fellows who are
indulging in the brag above alluded TO.

NORTH AND SOUTH TRAFFIC.

Disregarding the feasibility of con-
structing the interstate north and south
railroad on the plan roposed-co-opera
ton between the states through which
the road should pass-the direct ship
ment of wheat from the west and
northwest by rail to the gulf ports for
export has been demonstrated 10 be both
practicable and profitable, the state
ment of ex-Attorney General Ives to
the contrary notwithstanding. That
some wheat was damage, some years
ago, while in transit by barge line
down the Missouri and Mississippi rivers
is true, but that it was the result either of
the condition of the wheat at the time
Of its loading into the barges, or from
its long exposure to dampness while
in transit, or both, is equally true. Ships
are loaded every day from the great
elevators at New Orleans and Gal
ston that are stocked with western
wheat by the railways, and not a
suspicion of damage to the grain is ever
limited at.
shipped from the west via the gulf for
export, the surplus of wheat alone is
ample to maintain the existing aud pro-
posed transportation lines when it shall
be fairly turned in that direction, as it
will be at some time in the not distant
future. But when to the wheat is added
the millions of tons of live stock and its
products, of corn and hay, etcetera, the
volume of traffic along these lines will
assume proportions that will aslonish
the most sanguine.
The construction of the proposed
north and south railroad by state cooper
alton will hardly become an actually,
but that such line, and lines. will be
built and successfully operated by pri-
vate enterprise there is no more doubt
than that the development of the west
and the growth and expansion of its
commerce will require it.

meekly.
Having been at home all day during
the entire four years of the infants ex-
istence, while her husband had seen
the child only for an hour now and
then of an evening, Mary felt that
much might be said on the question,
but she refrained. Now, it came to
pass that one day not long ago Alfred
announced condescendingly that he
was going to take a day off and escort
Mary and Jimmie to the fair He felt

They were going down to the grounds
on the ''whaleback" steamer, and for
five minutes or so after starting inn

by the new experience. Alfred
was aggressively complacent. He
said that Jimmie was model
of good behavior; no trouble at

couldn't be any task at all to take care
of him every day and all day Mary
bided her time. So did Jimmie. but
not for long. Very soon, he said in
his infantile drawl and with a man

Alfred looked blank.

Jimmie waited a minute. Then

whale know that it didn't have
smokestack or its own back?"
Alfred hasn't answered that question
yet, and Mary has received no further
advice on bringing up Jimmie.-N. Y.

NOMINATE OUR UNITED STATES
SENATOR

The defeat OF the Republican party
one year ago, we think, can safely be
attributed largely to the dissatisfaction
of the people with ring rule and the boss
ism growing out of it. Republicans
grew tired and rebelled, not so much
against the hard times as against a po-
litical trust, and its dictation of policy
and platform tenetS. Upon the other
hand we are convinced that our late
victory can be ascribed to the votes OF
the men who, having found the clique
spirit and greed of the Populits even
more pronounced and obnoxious, re-
turned to the Republican party. The
conclusion Of the whole matter, there
fore. is that the Republican party of
Kansas can win victory next fall only
by the destruction of all old combines
and the elimination of every crank
tenet and extraneous hobby from the
Republican platform. In doing this the
victory will not only be a signal one,
but overwhelming.
While the people are for progression
they tire of crankism: while they are
patriotic to principle they weary of the
jobs and manipulations resorted to by
professional politicians for the
selection of men who are to carry
out those principles, especially
when it is an eternal round Of the same
old crowd who, if they can't remain in
congress, must be made ministers or
consuls; who, if they can't remain
United States senators, must be judges,
governors, or the like. The hope of the
Republican party in Kansas is not CEN
tered in Topeka caucus or convention,
nor are all the party's chances for COM
petent and satisfactory leaders to be
found in the corridors and hall ways Of
the Copeland hotel.
Progression is possible, and new deals
feasible. The captains who have been
captains in Kansas since the memory of
the present generation runneth not to
the contrary, may be captains again, but
unquestionably they all could play the
private for a season, greatly to the BEN
eft of the organization for which they
profess so much disinterested love.
The next Republican state convention
ought to be held in the spring, and at
Wichita, or some other central point !
away from Topeka. That of itself will |
inspire confidence. The platform ought
to be Republican, sound and straight
and without single ism
When it comes to choosing nominees, |
political grievances and past
1isappointments and defeats, nor any of
the usual rot relied upon to swing dele
cations, are needed qualifications.
As further progressive step, and for
getting nearer the will and wish of the
people, and farther away from the
schemes of professional politicians and
heir greed for place, it is suggested that
such convention, as Icing directly rep
nominate candidate for
he United States senate to be elected
oy Republican legislature next winter,
in the absence of the inter-
,sted members of The legislature. and
away from the senatorial headquarters
vt Topeka of any and all aspirants, and
without the weeks of plotting, trading
md counter plotting Of interested ad-
lerents at the Copeland or elsewhere.
