WARFARE FOR WARE.

Eugene +. Ware, poet, lawyer, and
high priest Of the Republican party in
Kansas, addressed the Topeka High
school pupils on the occasion Of flag.
raising last week. His subject was
''PatriotiSm," but it was the most un.
patriotic speech that has been heard in
Kansas for q long time. In fact it has
been remarked by many people Of all
parties that had any Populist given
uttersnce to such reckless and infam.
matory sentiments he would be looked
upon Ss q most dangerous criminal.
The following is sample extract from
the address,:
am one who believes In war as On educator,
as part Of our public school system, We
should have war every generation TO make
the people patriotic II is as necessary to
teach the people patriotism as anything else,
The late Civil war in its education and bene-
fits was worth twice what II cost. Sooner or
later the United States viii have another war
I hope we will have II soon. We need it. There
is an occasion this very day for q war and we
ought to open 1t, In times Of peace socialism
and anarchy assail the flag. A dose OF war
cures these evils. There are those now here
who win be in the next war; There are before
me captains and colonels and to them will be
confded the safety Of this flag and the honor
oflthis country. These young men are from
lighting race, and fighting nation, and fight
ing State, and win do themselves justice when
the time arrives. And the young women who
are present viii see that they do, for women
are always patriotic.

this 10 not permissible. If the state
mentg Of the editor are untrue the
proper remedy would seem to be a suit
for libel. This, Of course, would have
10 be tried in another court, the lbeled
Judge becoming the prosecuting wit
ness. In such q case there would be
the possible danger that the editor
might prove his statements true.
Hence an arrest for contempt possesses
many advantages over the libel suit.
In the FIRST place the contempt case win
afford the editor no such opportunity;
and in the next place the Judge whom
the editor has criticised can sit in his
own case and fine or imprison the edi
tor for his Offense. Freedom Of speech
and Of the press In this great country
Of ours was a wonderful invention.

THE patients at the Topeka Insane
Asylum are writing letters to Republi-
team papers defending Republican man
agement Of that institution. Hitherto
that duty has fallen upon the editors
cf those papers and the lunatics in the
Asylum evidently think so bad q mess
has been made Of it that it is necessary
fcF them to help the editors out. The
two efforts are so similar in character
that II would be difficult to distinguish
the one from Che other If it were not
tor the headlines under which they are
nnhllahAd.
