BREWER AT THE HEAD,

And so it turns out that Kansas
comes in for conspicuous role in the
settlement Of the MISUNDERSTANDING
which has arisen between the two
greatest nations on earth. That is as
it should be. The status of the present
overShadOwing greatness of the United
States hinged upon the deStinies of its
central state, Kansas. Kansas. too.
seems more earnestly for war than any
other state. Unquestionably her de
sire is to whip Great Britain Whether
such bold front is attributable to the
fact of her safe location or to pure pa
triotism is immaterial, her people are
for war all the same. Judge Brewer
is not only a member of the Venezuela
boundary commission, but is its head.
Brewer, of Kansas, is the man more
than any other who will lay down the
law and gospel on the Pan-American
idiosyncracy. OF course much of the
work viii be done in Washington
where records. maps. archives and
other like documents will be collected.
But the chances are that in verifying
many Of these trip along the Guiana

COMPARATIVE DEATH RATE,

The Chicago papers claim that they
have the most healthful city in the
world. This may be true if only the
larger cities are considered. The
records show death rate of 1911 per
thousand in Chicago for the year just
closed. This figure is suggestive of the
extra risk incurred by living in the
great cities of the world. If the
figures are correct, they show that the
mortality rate in the most healthful
large city on the globe is more than
twice the average of Wichita Tor the
last twenty years. A fraction over
seven to the thousand is the highest
death rate this city has ever known,
seven.
Business Inducements and social
privileges should be very great in the
large cities to justify taking more than
two chances to one of meeting the
grim monster each twelve months. Per
contra the absolute certainty of taking
less than half the chances in a city af-
fording the comforts, and chances for
success in business afforded by Wich-
tia. should be very inviting TO the inn
migrant. Success in business pur-
suits may be the greatest dissidera-
ton from a material standpoint, but
all wealth and earthly glory end at the
grave. To the industrious man there
is no inheritance so valuable as his
lease of life

THE TOPEKA CAPITAL.
!, the Elditor of the Eagle,

To the Editor of the Eagle.
VIII you pardon and publish a self-eH-
dent proposition? 1t is this: A paper
that affects to lead the Republican party
of Kansas should be itself Republican.
That sounds like an amazingly simple
statement yet 1t happens to be singularly
pertinent at the present juncture.
The Republican party is a bimetallic
party, as its history and national platforms
abundantly attest. OF course the To-
peka Capital is entitled to its own opin-
ions and to the freest and fullest express
sion OF them. Let it go its own way by
all means. This is a free country. Let
the grand old party do the same-pursue
its triumphant career along the highway
cast up by the fathers ard founders OF the
party. Fortunately for the Capital there
is room enough for Il and the great party
without crowding. When that ant-bi-
metallic. monometallic paper shall frankly
avow Itself anti-Republican. 1t will COM
mand our sincere respect for its candor
and truthfulness. Its present attitude

PROMPT ACTION.

The present congress has made a
wise change in the manner of dispo-
sition of contested election cases.
Heretofore it has been customary TO
protract these contests through the en-
tire first session at least involving
great expense 10 all parties concerned
and keeping for months member out
Of his seat to which he was rightfully
entitled.
This year instead of there being one
committee in the house on contested
elections there are three. The num-
Der of contests are divided between
them and each committee will prompt
~ dispose of the business at hand. One
ore two cases have already been de-
cided, and the whole number will be
disposed of much earlier than could
have been done under the old plan.

ONE COUNTRY. ONE FLAG.

Henri WattersOn, In his Wichita ad-
dress, on the life and character of Lin
coin. declared that but for a wisdom
which seemed inspired If not almost
divine, in Lincoln, the European pow
ers would have seconded England in
permanently dividing and destroying
the American republic. Had Lincoln
listened to Seward and his cabinet Ma
peleon would have succeeded in max
ing permanent monarchy OF Mexico.
and England would have stood by the
South until this republic had gone to
pieces. So the late utterances of the
British press touching the attitudes,
respectively, OF rhe North and South,
were inspired of the old spirit of
hatred. They were an insult TO both
the South and North. One of these
utterances was from the pen of an
Irish home ruler whom the American
people had coddled and unwiselv.
Whatever difference OF opinion may
exist on questions of domestic policy
between the Republican majority in
the North and the Democratic majority
in the South. there IS not in the North
a shadow OF doubt of the entire loyalty
against any and every foe Of the re-
public. Indeed. no assertion Of 10y
atty is needed Every American knows
and feels that the bond Of union is to-
day all the stronger for the strain TO
which il was subjected. and that the
ex-COnfederate Is an American in all
tilat the term implies. We canno< be

MORRILL, TALES AGAIN.

l
Ed Howe, of the Atchison Globe.
having editorially declared that he
wouldn't be governor of Kansas with
the prohibitory law on the statute
books, for 100000 per day, adds TO the
perpleXity and troubles of Governor
Morrill, by interviewing him upon that
ever sore and uppermost question.
| The troubles. chiefly, which have con-
| fronted the chief executives of Kan
| saS have been those arising out of the
efforts of one-half of the people 10 null
lily the efforts put forth by the other
| half to enforce the prohibitory law.
| However, those are not the proportions
of the opposing elements in the larger
| cities where most of the trouble is eX-
perienced. and which cities hold most
if the prominent politicians. Had
Governor Morrill, abolished the six
police commissions of the state imme
diately after ne took the oath of Of
fee, as he was earnestly advised, bar
ring the threats and bowls of the Dick
Waite contingent, he would have had
comparatively smooth sailing. The
police commission scheme was origin
ally devised for the purpose of aiding
the larger cities to evade the law and
collect revenues. But these boards
have proved an unending source of
trouble to the chief executives of the
state.

view. He had gone up to Atchison to
address the colored people on New
Years day. His excellency expressed
himself very much averse to any more
interviews upon the prohibition ques-
ton, but after much persuasion said:
ct seems to me / have expressed my
self fully, and in such a manner that
my views cannot be miSconStrued," re-
piled the governor. Il have nothing
to regret for what l have said, as l be-
lieve it was the common sense view of
the situation. | found the prohibitor-y
law on the statute books, and have
honestly tried to enforce it, but people
have only a vague idea of the power OF
a governor in such matters. He has
only limited power, even in the larger |
cities, where there are police boards" |
There are prohibition cities and anti |
prohibition cities in Kansas. Morrill, |
having in his inaugural address truth |
fully, no less than bravely declared |
that such laws are difficult of enforce
ment where opposed by majority senti-
ment, he should have lined up his policy |
accordingly. Topeka sentiment is for
the enforcement of the prohibitory
liquor law, but against the prohibitory
quail law. Topeka might have had
her choice in both these preferences
without doing any particular violence
to the convictions of future generations
touching the enforcement of penal
laws against well defined and univer-
sally admitted crimes
However, in view of the announce
ment made in our dispatches of yes
terday morning that Governor Morrill,
is so sick of the whole thing that he
has concluded to stand aside for some
other victim, all advice seems too late
and any opinion gratuitous Still there
are other governors to elect and that
which must continue to wreck each
remains upon the statute
books.

How is it, and why should an effort,

truly commendable purpose? 1t may

man. Self-appointed, and aggressive
in his undertaking, his right TO lead,
none cared TO question, but success
tickled his vanity, and he was not long
in wrecking the structure he had built.
1t proves once more that men and mo-
tiveS are much the same. Rev. Park

the fruits of his own effort. He con-

in politics by boss reformer, and ap-
pointed himself TO the position. He
essayed to compass political rule by
enforcing his moral precepts. The
church was to dominate municipal gov
eminent, and he was to be the high
priest, but there he failed.
There are ParkhurstS, big and little,
in every community. They are the

fered UNNECESSARILY by their med

who have saddled law upon the state
which has retarded her progress more
than grasshoppers, drouths and Popu-

critical hypnotists are to rule the poll
tics of the state, depends on the peo-
pies resolve TO take them at their
worth.
Mayor Swift of Chicago, has given us
a good example. Let the mayors, and

of dishonor and contempt upon them.
