The habit of twirling a loaded re-

about ten to nothing. Evidently the
future man will be at a premium by
reason of his scarcity.

The state board of irrigation seems
to have established the fact that the

proven by an inspection of the Good

the water to the surface in sufficient
quantities and cheap enough for irri-
cation purposes is yet shrouded in IN
certainty.

Mr.. GOOdno, of Butler: "The dis
gruntled Republicans Of Kansas who
did not get the earth when the present
State administration came into power
should shut up and prepare to Loyalty
support Morrill, for Governor, for he
will undoubtedly be nominated and
elected, and their insinustions will be

from Republicans.
There you have it, and the Republl-
cans of the State can see what kind of

resent the sentiment of Republican
politicians in their respective localities,
and the above expressions are just as
they wrote them.
How many Of them touch upon live
issues? Mr.. Sherman alone ventures
an expression on the bond question,
and Mr.. Axelton is the only one who
recognizes the fact that there are men
who want jobs other than political

THE esteemed State Journal is right
eously indignant over the fact that
Senator Baker has located himself
snugly in the Senatorial camp of the

appropriate for the editor Of the Jour

indlgnstionP 1t was that paper which
opened the fight on Ralph Burton in
the Senatorial campaign, and instead
of raising the question of the csndi-
dates standing on the money question,
made the question of "morsl-
ity" the issue. By concentrat-
ing all the anti. Burton forces,
the Legislature and the Journal sue

SOME Of our POpulist contemporsr.
les in the State are deVOting q great
deal of time and space to setting up
imaginary State tickets, or naming
candidates for this and that office. In
doing this they are not trespsssing on
other peoples rights, nor assuming
prerogatiVe they do not possess. But
they are using space that might be de.
voted to giving their readers the local
news, and to explaining the principles
of the Peoples party. There are some
thousands of voters In Kansas who don't
know what the Peoples party is for
heaven forgive their ignoranCe-and
many thousands more who can't see
how 1T can accomplish what it prom
ises. These people must become inter
ested in the new party itself before
they can be interested in its prospec-
tive candidates. Get them started by
giving them good county newspaper,
and leave the guessing on candidates
till little later in the season.

Now, the Rev. Dougherty would rather
have cut off his whiskers than to have
admitted so much during the LeWell-
ing administration. Perhaps he was
acting honestly, but he was doubtless
in league with the crowd of hypocrites
who set up Mr.. Morrill, as the State
moral guardian and the defender Of
law. But In the travail of his soul"
he may have seen the error of his ways
since then, and he may be trying to do
better. At any rate we are in favor of

GIVE THE PREACHER HIS DUE.

UAVH 1u1 GhLAOnAh UUEs
The Rev. James G.. Dougherty, Of
Kansas City, Kss., who has something
Of an unssVory reputation as q polit-
icsl heller, seems to be trying to re-
form himself. There is hope for him
yet. Having done all In his power to
convince the public that the Populist
State administration was responsible
for the violation of law In frst-class
cities In 1893 and 1891, and having
made q heroic effort to show that there
was no ante-election bargain between
Governor Morrill, and the saloon ele-
ment in those cities, he now seems to
have abandoned the withdrawing
business and taken a more practical
position.
Rev. Dougherty Is now deVoting his
time to showing the inefticiency of our
Metropolitan Police system and the
utter uselessness of 9 Board of Police
Commissioners. To do this he writes
for a Kansas City paper to show that
there are about seVenty-One places in
Kansas City, Kss., where liquors are
sold contrary to law, giving the "Good
Citizenship Committee" Ia local tenn
persnCe Organizstion) as authority for
the statement. He assumes that the
members Of the Police Board there are
honestly trying to suppress liquor sell
ing, because they had pledged them
selves to do 80 or resign. He concludes
his communication with this:
Now put together honestly these three facts {;
A Police Board appointed with the distinct
agreement that they were to close tippllng
shops or resign; the Ministerial Alliance, ct
an unusually large meeting, unanimously
commencing them after they had for two
months shown their honesty and ability in
their difficult service; more than seventy tip
pllng shops that have done businsss-most Of
them-for three months. What Is the fair con-
cluslon2 Is 1t not this: II such Q Police
Board, so appointed and so Endorsed, does not
close the joints, what Is the use Of expert
menting with any other?
There Is no reason for the existence OF O
Police Board except the enforcement Of the
liquor laws. II q board fails in this, it ought
to vacAte. II such board as our present fails,
It is useless to try any other. 1t only remains
to abolish the board and let our police be ap-
pointed and under control Of our Mayor and
Council elected by the citizens.
1t is full time, after our many failures with
successive Police Boards, to return the power
and the responsibility to the citizens, who,
relieved OF both, have thought IL their chief
duty TO critlcise and denounce officials.
II the Police Board were at once abolished
there would not be another tippling shop, for
there are ell now that the city can support.
We have the equivalent OF 426 for Kansas City,
Mo. II our people felt that the matter did not
belong TO the Governor, but to them as citi-
zens, they would go to work ct once 70 secure

WHAT is the press of this country
coming to when 30 many papers that
denounced Senator Tillmsn as black
guard, because he Ventured to tell the
truth on the Senate floor, speak in
highest praise of Senator Morrill's
speeches. The senile Senator from
Vermont is in his dotage, and for ten
years has not entertained a progressive
idea, much less express one. This Is
not said in deriSion of him, but Of the
people who send him to represent
them, and the editors who point to him
as q model of craftsmanship.

show that they are conservative to the
extent Of coWsrdice, and that they
eVade plain expression on the leading
questions, To begin with the first one
published by the Moil:
MIR. CubbisOn, Of Wysndotte county,
says Mckinley is the choice Of his
county. For platform he favors q
strong foreign policy, the enforcement
Of the Monroe doctrine, strong navy
and coast Notifications, reciprocity,
restriction Of immigration, sound
money with an export duty on gold,
and several other things.
Mr.. Caldwell, of Douglas: "The
platform should be protection, recip.

have o protection platform with the

platform we want q purely American

industries and to American lsborers by
proper restriction to immigration, and
for the use of silver as money to as
great extent as 1t Is safe to do"
Mr.. Haines, Of Wyandotte: "For q
platform, protection to home indus
tries, elevation Of labor, reciprocity, a
strong foreign policy, blmetallism and
free coinage of American silver"
Mr.. HsckbuSch, of LeaVenWorth:
ain my opinion the national platform
of 1899, with some changes In regard
to our financial system, is about as
strong platform to insure Republican
victory in November as can be adopted.

The opponents of the measure kept

operative. The town passed upon the bill
