MILITIA ar TT. Riley.
A Plan to Have a Weeks Eneamp-
ment Next Year

It is proposed to take the entire state
militia to Fort Riley next year during
the time set apart for the fall maneu-
vers among the regular troops and give
the Kansas soldiery a weeks outing on
full pay.
One of the state house POpulists says:
This scheme was evolved by Adju-
tant General Allen and his purpose is
to make the encamDment a political
powWow. Some of the state officials
have attempted to steer the military
board off in another direction but the
adjutant general suggested that the ar
engagements could be made and kept
from the newspapers and that following
an encampment ii would be safe to fig
ure that the militia would vote the Pop
uIist ticket 1t is proposed to hold the
encampment just prior to election and
to give the soldiers such a good time
that they will all vote for Governor
Leedy."
The adjutant general does not deny
that such plan for holding the state
encampment at Fort Riley Is under
consideration.

Dead Mans Curve"

New York has for some years been strug
Cling with the question of what to do with
Dead Mans Curve that short reach on
the Broadway cable line at Union Square
that has cost scores of lives. Various plans
have been advocated for Strengthening the
tracks and for tunneling under the square,
but the railroad company in possession has
always stubbornly refused to bulge, and the
plans have all involved such a heavy ex-
pense that the city has been unwilling to
VI dertake the enterprise without the aid OF
the corporation. The greatest element of
Danger has always been the inability of the
motormen to slacken speed on the curves
which are located at one Of the most popu-
lous parts of the great thoroughfare. Ow-
ing to the form of grip in use, the cable
had to be retained throughout the trip
around tire curves, else it would slide to
one side of the conduit and could not be
retaken without the aid of a machine. 1t
is thought that the trouble has at last beeu
eliminated by the device of a new grip,
which will permit the car to slack up or to
stop entirely while the curve, without
losing the cable. Inasmuch as this solves
the worst part of the problem. 1t Is likely
Il at there will be no more heard at present
of plans for Strengthening out the curves
But the District Commissioners should
take warning of the experience of the
metropolis and move without delay to
check the development of Dead Mans
Curve" in this city. at the corner of Fiji
teenth street and New York avenue, with a
possible supplement block eastward
These two functions are exceedingly dan
gerous. and are growing more so with each
year. as the city expands and as it's streets
become more crowded Now is the time to
solve such a problem, before it has grown
beyond easy control There should be no
stch death traps in this city, with its
broad streets and its facilities for caring
conveniently for the traffic without friction

PoBulist Leadership.

As was to be expected, Mr.. Simpsons s
leadership promptly landed the minority
of the House IN the ditch. The result was
inc vitable, for your combination of impa-
tient populist and impatient democrat
with talk In view. Is never a match for the
trained opposition. with business in view
Mr. Reed has his adversary now just where
he wants him. The Speaker is Eot only
master of the situatioa, but stands above
further serious taunt about that matter OF
the czarship. 1t is plain enough now that
If there is a czarship in the House. the
power reposes In the House itself and not
IN the Speaker
MIR. Reeds methods have never betrayed
the Machiavelian pattern. The Speaker
has wit and force and abundant contriv-
ance but he operates boldly and defiantly
Mere cunning is beneath him. AS the
gamblers say. he does all of his business
above the table. But the way in which this
fight against him has been conducted. and
the plight in which the opposition now
finds itself, presents features so curious
and interesting that If Mr.. Reed had been
a master of craft, with magician's power
over his enemies. and bent upon trapping
them and disarming them. he could not
have shaped things more to his liking and
advantage. lneTe WAS oiHiPSoA oo-
vancing from time to time with his chal-
ler ge, and Mr.. Reed keeping the cover of
an occasional explanation and his office.
Then. presto, come the Speakers $ chal-
lenge Mr.. Simpsons confusion and col
lapse. the bagging of the opposition by
roll CALL showing two for one for the
Speaker, and the assumption by the House
of responsibility for that for which the
Speaker had been so roundly abused.
But two points worth discussing have
been brought out in this contest. 1t Is
urged that the committees of the House
ought to be appointed In the interests of
public business. The reply to that is that
no public business is pressing. The House
has transacted all the business for which
1t was called together. 1t is also urged
that this inactivity of the House is crit
icism of the Senate and an attempted CO.
ercion of that body. This is far-fetched
and rather fanciful. The country knows
the situation; that the tariff bill is now in
the hands of the Senate, and cannot be-
come law until the Senate passes upon it..
That fact would not and could not be OBJ
seured If the House met every day and
spent twenty out of the twenty-four hours
In session, and with every orator in it
wound up to an eight-day capacity.
