LAW NOT ENFORCED.

Kansas has a fish law, but Il is per-
sistently violated. il localities. The
law is explicit enough and penalties
heavy, bur people refrain from cone
planning of its open violation and officers
fail of making arrests. This IS the
''close season. and no game FISH can he

other way before the first Of July. Still.

the best policies and gives the best and
most salutary and economic administra-
ton of affairs, all things considered
Place making for its own sake may be
an evil. hut the party that adopts such
policy may be called to account for it.
In the open field Of politics and free dis
cussion this can and viii find It's REM

Men have ambitions and the promul-
CATION OF policies and the work neces-
sary to party success takes the time
and service Of individuals-more time
than can reasonably be expected OF
them in the absence of any hope of re-
ward The public good is one thing-a
most important thing. The man who
simply exercises the privilege of voting
gets his reward in getting a choice Of
public policies. But the man who gives
his time, energy and talent to the pro-
motion of his party and its policy de-
serves more than the passive voter who
exercises simply the right of franchise.
There are a great many men who spend
time in the real service of their party,
more time than they can well afford,
and without any thought that this time
is to be paid for in money. But that
they do not look a little beyond the
mere success Of this or that measure, do
not see in this service hope that at
some time in the future there may be
an opportunity to realize some ambi-
ton. 10 enjoy the honor and receive the
emoluments of a public position, is not
to be denied. Is this not right, legiti-
mate and just?
Call them ''spoilsmen" if it please you.
But these fresh draughts from the peo-
pie are more consonant with republi-
canism than the aristocracy of office
holding. The public service will be as
well or better conserved than by an Of
fice-holdirg dynasty, to be pensioned
when they are no longer able to serve
or pretend to serve the public. The man
who serves a deserving party serves his
country and has the right, the patriotic
right TO hope that honest service may
be the means Of his getting honorable
rewards when his party shall come INFO
the control OF governmental affairs. The
administration of government is
through parties, and this carries with it
the rewards, the Offices. This is the sit
uation. and if not right abolish parties

TITS A MISTAKE

Reciprocity is a distinctive Republi-
can doctrine, an economical measure or
principle second only TO that of protec-
ton. Any ATTACK, therefore,, on Reel
procity is an attack on the party OF Pro-
lection. The proposition of the bill now
the reciprocity treaty now in force be-
tween the United States and Hawaii is
a blow at the Republican party. The
claim that it is for the protection OF the
sugar beet against Hawaiian sugar IS
not a tenable one from the fact that lg-
noring that islands connection with this
country, her whole output OF sugar Last
year was but 100000 tons, or but one
tenth OF the amount imported TO the
United States from otrer sources. Ha-
wall is not a part of the United States
in a recognized political way, yet it Is
SO morally and commercially. Hawaii
Is not only our customer along every
conceivable line, but her sugar pla-nta-
tons and sugar factories are owned by
Americans almost wholly. The export
and import trade Of Hawaii lest year
amounted to the total sum of S22.6l9.-
791. of which S20.92i,306, or more than
80 per cent was with the United States
These are official figures. The carrying
trade Of these exports and imports be-
tween the two countries was by United
States ships. SO this scheme, pretended
TO be for the interest of Pacific sugar
beet growers, won't wash. 1t is not
only deceptive. but repudiates a plank
Of the platform as sacred as that Of
protection itself. There is more &c be
realized through reciprocity out of the
islands of the Pacific and the South and
Central American states than by protec-
ton so far as our dealings with these
countries are concerned
