KANSAS NEW STATE PRINTER.

In the nomination by the POpul1st
caucus of John s. Parks for State
Printer a,pro6table Office and merited
reward is given one Of the best Popu-
list editors In the State. AS previously
stated In these columns the record of
the candidates considered is such that
no serious mistake would have been
made no matter who might have been
chosen. Defeat was no dlsCredit to
any candidate In such contest. An
ambition to secure this position was q
laudabIe one. 1t is pleasant office to
hold. II is quite profitable to the In
Cumbent and Is directly In q newspaper
mans line. The reform newspapers Of
Kansas have by the dissemination OF
news In reference to the movement
and Of educational matter made the
party what IL is. The men who have
done this work are certainly entitled
to consideration and those who desired

thing that retards business takes away
trade from the bankers; anything that
stimulates enterprise and promotes
general prosperity adds to the bankers

flted by any policy that Injuries the
business Of the producing classes.
Gold monOmetallism will eventually

try and force the business into bank.
ing trust. Gold monometallism In the
United States means bankruptcy for
all except those who deal In money
and investments and those who are
out Of debt. We quote few passages
from the Americans article:
Banks deal in money, and the idea has taken
deep root in banking circles that the dearer
this money can be made the greater will be
the profits Of banking. Men do not stop to
consider that dear money means low prices,
that low prices undermine the profits OF In
dustry, paralyze enterprise, and destroy the
ability of those who have borrowed from the
banks to repay their loans. And so it is that
an sppreciating dollar does not always benefit
the banks as owners OF debts.
The dollar has so appreciated, or, what is
the same thing, the property Of debtors has 80
deprecated, that debtors are, In many In.
stances, quite incapable Of repaying the ad-
vSnces made to them. They cannot sell their
property 80 as to raise the money to meet
their notes. Consequently they cannot pay
them and, Of course, the banks cannot collect
them. OF necessity the banks find 1t impossi-
BILE to convert large part of their assets into
money. They are obliged to renew the notes
they have discounted as they fall due, for
those engaged in the production Of wealth
and unable to convert their products into
money cannot take them up. II the banks
will not renew such notes, their debtors are
OF necessity forced into bankruptcy and in
place of being owners Of debts the banks be.
come owners Of property. And this property
has no more value In their hands than In the
hands Of their debtors, indeed not 80 much,
for they cannot realize upon 1t to ss great an
advantage. So the property that deprecated
on the hands of their debtors until such deb.-
ors were bankrupted goes on depreciating on
the hands Of the banks. Consequently ire
parable losses are entailed upon the banks.
The advocate., 1897-01-20
TIE LEGISLATURE.

The first Kansas POpuliSt Legisls.
ture has been In SESSION week. Its
work so far indicates that the people
have not been deceived in the class of
men which they have sent to Topeka
this winter. Business seems to be the
order of the day. The State Printer
contest occupied the attention Of the
members to quite an extent, but 1t was
taken up at an early date aud disposed
Of. Instead of a long caucus, In which
dilstory tactics for the benefit of can
didates, the members settled down to
the work In hand, and disposed OF 1t
before sdjourning, and then on the fol-
lowing day took up the work of legts
lation where it was left off. 1t is safe
to say that the Senatorial contest will
be handled In the same way. The
members seem disposed to give these
matters reasonable attention, but still
con6ne them to such bounds that the
regular work should not be materially
interfered with. II is also quite prob
able that as q result of these contests
no bsnquets will be held at which dis"
graceful scenes will occur and be par
tlcIpated in by the Legislators and
State officers.
The number and class Of bills intro.
duCed indicates that the peoples inter.
ests are being considered and that 1t is
the intent Of the majority to make the
present administration beneficial one
for the taxpayers. And such it should
and must be.
The advocate., 1897-01-20

aspire to the Office Of State Printer.
Mr.. Parks victory is due to the fact
that he was able to muster more
friends at the proper time than the
others and not to the fact that his work
as reform newspaper man was such
as to entitle him to greater cOnsidera-
tion than other Populist editors al
though his paper has always been q
power In the Populist cause. He Is a
practical printer and has made IL a
business all his life. Mr.. Parks enjoys
the honor Of having won In the con-
test without any feeling developing
toward him on the part of the other
candidates. The fight was much more
free from personal differences than
such contests usually are. It is pre-.
dicted that Mr.. Parks will so conduct
the affairs Of his Office that he will add
to his already strong body of friends.
The ADVOCATE having had no part in
the contest and entertaining q high
opinion of all of the candidates feels
satisfied with the result which Of course
would have been the case had any
Of the other candidates been chosen.

BANKS BUILDING FOR A FALL"

Under this caption the American of
the 9th instant has a suggestive article,
discussing the interests of bankers as
q class, and pointing out to them some
of the pitfalls In their way. The AD-
voCATE has frequently reminded
bankers that they Of all men, should
be the last to sntagoniZe the interests
of the people about them who furnish
the banks business. Bankers are vi

EXPERIENCE IN LEGISLATION.

Successful legislative work requires
experience and acquaintance with pub
lie affairs. This sort Of experience is
obtained largely by service In positions
where 1t can be secured. In the pres
ent Legislature it is conceded that the
old members-thst ls, those who have
previously served-sre In the best po-
sition to accomplish results for the
people,, This condition is not due to
the fact that as a class they are sbler
men than the new members, nor be-
cause the new members are not as
capable of learning those things neCes'
sary to obtain favorable action on
legislation, but because the member
who has served before knows just
what to do and how to do it. He un-
derstsnds fully the details Of handling
legislation, he knows when to present
his matter, what committee it legiti-
mately belongs to, and how to follow
and push it In all the stages of It's con-
sideration. By previous experience he
has learned to guard against steps
which will delay or hinder the progress
of his measure. There iS hardly new
member of the present Legislature
who will not 90 home convinced that
he has done as much good work as he
would have done If he had had at the
beginning Of the session the experience
and acquaintance with the details Of
legislation which he will have at It's
close. The present Legislature is
made up of as intelligent, honest, trust
worthy men as ever convened in Kan
sas, and its purpose is undoubtedly to
do It's part to give Kansas people relief
from high taxation and other burdens.
In this IL will undoubtedly succeed.
The ADVOCATE believes that, although
comparatively small number OF mem
bers have had legislative experience, 1t
ia safe to say that at the close Of the
session its work will reflect credit on
the party which named q majority Of
the members, and ON the people Of the
State for whom it leglslates.

PREsIDENT.ELECT MCKINLEY is
having q hard time of 1t selecting q
Cabinet. It is not strange that this
should be true. A great deal is ex'
pected of the next administration, and
Justly so, for much has been promised
"a great deal more than is possible Of
accomplishment; and 1t Is for that rea-
SON that men of the proper caliber for
Cabinet officers are not eagerly seeking
places at the council table of the new

THE Legislature will undoubtedly

pense of conducting elections. No
expense should be spared to secure q
fair system Of casting and counting
votes, but many changes can be made
which will reduce expense.
