Mr.. Morrison sums the business up
in nutshell, and we will promise him
that In the person of Hon. John w.
Leedy the Peoples party has a modern
Hercules, who will cleanse the Augesn
stable and give Kansas a government
which shall no longer be disgrace to
the fair name of the State.
Mr.. Editor: The Peoples party has
taken no uncertain position on the
railroad question at It's late State con-
vention. It pledges itself in unequiv-
ocsl terms to the enactment of a maxi
mum freight rate law, securing to the
people Of Kansas as low rates
as those enjoyed by the peo-
pie Of Iowa and Illinois; it
fsVors the election of Railroad Com
mlsslOners by the people and fsvors
the enactment Of laws giving the Com.
missiOnerS full power to enforce all
railroad legislation. Please compare
with this the meaningless and imbeclle
railroad plank in the State platform of
the Republican party, to-Wit:
"In the interest of the people of
Kansas we demand that our Senators
and Representatives in Congress use
their best endesVors to secure such
amendments to the interstate COM
merce act as will enable the Interstate
Commerce Commission to prescribe
and enforce reasonable transportation
charges upon interstate commerce; and
we further demand that the Leglsla-
ture OF Kansas make such changes In
the present laws Of the State as may
be necessary to increase the power of
the Board Of Railroad Commissioners,
by making their findings, conclusions
and orders under the act of their crea.

rectnesS, and providing for q speedy
review thereof by the courts when
questioned and a summary enforce.
ment thereof IL sustained, as recon-
mended by the board In It's thirteenth

The Republican party asks Congress
to amend the interstate commerce
laws, so that the Commissioners may
prescribe reasonable rates. What rot

the Kansas Republicans stand pre-

afford to oppose their royal masters,

and consequently they do not say one

 We are not trying to regulate the
