HE KISSES THE BABIES
Says Cy Leland Who Favors Nc
K1nley for President.
THINKS KANSAS WILL BE FOR HIN.

Tom Fosd ia stuck Up and Doesn't
Like to DO the Hard NOrk-ChicagO
Will Get the Convention.
Chairman Cy Leland of the Republican
state central committee and member of
the Republican national committee for
Kansas, says he believes three fourths of
the Republicans of Kansas favor the
nomination of Governor William McKin-
ley of Ohio, for president next year.
Chairman Leland says he is for Mo-
Kinley and has been for him ever since
the last Republican national convention.
"l would liked to have voted for him at
that time" he said, shut our instructions
were to give the Kansas delegation to
Harrison and Harrison got our votes.
"When Mckinley was here last sum-
mer he showed that he was made of the
right kind of stuff He gets down among
the people and is not afraid to shake a
man by the hand and get down on the
car steps and kiss the babies. Tom Reed
wants to talk in an opera house and have
a banquet afterwards, but Mckinley is
willing to work and talk from a car plat
form.

and when he left US I tried to apologize
for working him so much, but he said:
"Oh, that is all right If have done
the party any good and made any votes
I will be well satisfied.
son all that trip he never got out of
humor once and he showed that he was
made of the right kind of stuff. Yes,
am for Mckinley"
Chairman Leland gave it as his opin-
ion that San Francisco's fight for the Re-
publican National convention will not
amount to anything. He said he favored
Chicago or Kansas City, but thought
Chicago should have the convention, as
the accommodations are better there.
Mr.. Leland believes that the conven-
ton will be held early and made the pre-
diction that the Kansas state convention
to elect delegates to the National con-
vention will be held before this time nexi
year.

The sensitivities of some people are
just too tender for anything. Here now
is Colorado whose legislature has gone
and passed law prohibiting the flying
of any foreign flag in that state except
over the consular houses of other ma
tions. This was a full silly thing to do
A few years ago party of American
tourists were going up the River Rhine
ON the steamboat Kaiser Wilhelm. At
one point they rounded bluff, when
suddenly from the most prominent point
of the grounds of a beautiful villa on
the hill above the shore there burst upon
their delighted view handsome Amer
ican flag, gracefully floating in the
breeze from the top of tall flagpole. A
glad and mighty cheer burst from the
throats of all those patriotic Americans.
1t was like a message from home. The
simple story was that an American citi
en- had built a villa on the Rhine, a
magnificent one it was, erected by means
of American dollars. He loved his own
country so that he kept the stars and
stripes flying from the peak of the hill
always If the emperor of Germany
could put up with this, certainly the
American republic ought to allow citi-
zens of other nations residing Temporal
rily among us to fly the flags of their re-
spective native lands. And whether over
picnic grove or upon an excursion
steamer, nothing is more picturesque
than the sight Of brilliant array of the
flags of all nations Besides that, such
display would be an object lesson to
school children in learning what the
flags of other countries are like. All
this is made impossible under that Colo
RADIO law. Repeal it.

The Chm ago Tribune has bit on
most clevei plan 1t has been offer
ing prizes for the best news items
sent to it by the public school chill
dren. The young ones are to get
their news themselves, and the Incl
dents must be real There are three
prizes respectively of SO, S3 and So.
They are won about equally by boys
and girls, and it is surprising how good
the news items are. In many cases they
are models of brevity and olearness,
such that a practiced reporter could not
do better. As matter of fact, praoticed
reporters often do not write half so
well as these bright public school chill
dren
In various instances the.stories sent
in were really valuable news items,
such as reporters would have been glad
to get and would have been paid for get
ting. One youth tells The Tribune
about the formation of an anticigarette
league among the public school boys. A
little Italian girl gives an animated
narrative Of how herself and her broth
ar attempted to teach monkeys to talk,
as they understood Garner had tried to
do The monkeys belonged to their
father The result was that one monkey
bit the girls thumb severely, and an.
other broke loose and ate up bunch OF
bananas the children's father had
brought home and the scientific inves-
tigators had to go without breakfast fol
punishment.
Altogether the outlook for reporto-
rial talent in Chicago for the future is
excellent. The Tribune has by this hap
py experiment added undoubtedly to its
own circulation, stirred up an interest
in English among teachers and school
children, and also induced many of
them to become regular newspaper read.

ABsURDDTY OF STAGE DEATHS.
Nature Outrageously Violated Instead of
Being Shown "A Mirror.


A French dramatic critic, with some
show of medical knowledge, represents
that nearly all actors and actresses out
rageously violate nature in their imita
tions of death He cites, in curroboration
of his charge, the customary theatr rical
death Of Camille" in the younger Du-
mas favOrite emotional play of that title
According to the author, his heroine is
affected with pulmonary consumption,
and an incidental attack of hemorrhage of
the lungs extinguishes her life.
There is absolutely nothing dramatic to
be made out of this mode of dying, if fldel-
ity to fact be obeyed. The gushing of a
stream of blood from tile mouth would be
realistic, but the imitation of such phe-
nomenon is never made by actors, male or
female, nor would any discreet manager
tolerate such a piece of stage business,
Again, the overwhelming suffocation
which produces the rapid death in Ca.
miles case is never accompanied by con
vulsiUns, such as her dying representatives
on the stage almost always assume. In
natural death from this cause the sufferer
simply Collapses from failure of the vital
powers.
Theatrical poisoning scenes are also usu-
ally untrue to nature. 1t is popularity be
lieved that when a fatal dose of laudanum
OF morphine is swallowed the victim i'm
mediately sinks into deathlike sleep, as
| is commonly seen on the stage, whereas
the first effect of this poison taken in like
quantity is invariably to excite and en-
| liven Nor is the mode of dying after the
hackneyed cardiac stage stab in conform
| ity with the laws of nature. The actor
simply falls at full length or in a heap,
whereas the everyday member Of society
gives a spring when the heart is struck
before entering eternity by this unhappy
| gate. Even the modern Othello has not

In a civilized community when any
gang of roughs infract the law and COM
nit outrages of violence the community
rises and suppresses them. In pioneer
countries they are tried by the sum
mary process Of lynch law. In any case
they are suppressed one way or another.
AS with civilized communities, so it is
with civilized nations. When people,
even savage people, commit outrages
on humanity, such as murder, enslave-
ment and torture, the civilized nations
rise and inflict punishment on the saw
ages guilty Of such foul barbarity The
savages are forced to accept the rule Of
a civilized government strong enough
to see to it that the outrages are not re-
peated at any time, Judged by this un-
written law of nations, Turkey must
go She has forfeited her right to be
considered as a nation. She is a relic of
| barbarism in the midst of civilization,
There is no reason why she should ex-
ist longer-not one. Let Russia have
