A Weak Ticket.

The Populist State ticket has little
to commend 1t to anybody. 1t has
few elements even Of ordinary politi.
cal strength. Not man on it has
the confidence Of the people and not
one will be elected.
Mr.. Leedy, candidate for governor,
has not made a success Of business,
having made failure as a farmer.
Several members are young men in
the party for spolls. Rev. Botkin is
very unpopular Frank Doster has a
record that will ruin him. Stryker
will lose the vote Of every teacher
and every man in whose family is a
teacher.
The miserable straddle on the fus-
ion deal, really a trap into which the
Democrats led them, the snubbing 'of
silver interests and the wrangling
and charges Of corruption in the Pop
party itself all combine to make de-
feat for the Abilene ticket certain.

Ex- Gov. Anthony, Of kansas, who
died the other day left behind him q
forcible illustration OF the difference
between honest and dishonest money.
Suppose" he said, "that, a person
had a $40 bill issued by the Roman
government at the time Of Its great
est power and glory. How much
would that bill be worth today and
who would redeem itP But if the
same person had Roman eagle coin
ed at that time it would be as good as
it was when Caesar rode at the head
of the Roman legions." OF course
this does not agree with the position
of the ex-consul general who thinks
an English sovereign is at a discount
except in England. But then the ex-
consul general does not agree with
the rest Of the world these days.

No one could look on the crowd
that like an unwieldy mob filled the
delegates seats Of the Abilene wigwam
last week and upon the gathering in

Topeka and not be certain that there
is vast difference in parties. The
Republican party represents the best
blood of Kansas, has the brainiest
leaders and rank and file and stands
for the best things in government.

Doster Is Dangerous.

Topeka Capital: Judge Doster's
pledge to the convention that nomi-
mated him yesterday for Chief Justice
that Though embarrassed by many
, technicalities and presidents Of a
thousand years, | will search through
the books for law which will benefit
the common people and the cause Of
humanity" is threat that was ex-
pected from the chief instigator and
hacker Of the Dunsmore rebellion OF
1913. There will be great times in
Kansas when Doster becomes Chief
Justice and carries the state back to
the Dark Ages Of 1876 A. d. But what
is the use Of Dostcr searching the
books for law when as Chief Justice
he could invent laws better than we're
ever dreamed Of in the Dark AgesP
II Doster becomes Chief Justice he
will be law unto himself and unto
everybody else, and the plutocrats Of
Kansas who have made millions out
Of Doster, Leedy and other downtrod-
den serfs will be ground between the
upper and neither millstones. 1t is Il
very cheerful thing to anticipate the
reign Of Chief Justice Doster.
