that some one had crowded In front or him

the fact as fact, that at present the Dem-
Ocratic machine is working perfectly and
smoothly in all its parts under the control
Of the head, the mystery remains as yet
unsOlYed, why the head is the head.
While there Is no question that the diff
ferent organizations, In Kansas, especially,
which are opposed TO the Republican party
are constantly getting closer to each other,
Is It as certain that We are going at this
fusion or amalgamation In just the best
way? The Democratic machine works per-
fectly. There is not likely to be any re-
bellion in convention or from the mass
of Democratic voters. On the other hand,
Populists are restlve under arrangements

Clemens, not intending 1t seriously, says

Seriously, is there not more merit in the
suggestion Of Mr.. Clemens than that OF the
Senator? Does not the Senator overlook
the fact that a new party was born at Chi
cago when the Chicago platform was
adopted and William Jennings Bryan NOM
mated? Kansas Populists are more In
accord with Bryan or Jeffersonian DemOc-
racy than with Coxeyites in Ohio or with
some of the Populist organizations south,
which are largely Republican in faith and
practice. Mr.. Clemens suggestion is wise
and timely. The Democratic machine in
this State Is perfect as a machine; what II
needs is a spirit, and this 1t can only get
from the ranks Of the Peoples party; let
the Populists join the Democratic party
and take possession of the machine. This
will do away withe the necessity Of select

Some Answers to Fusion Argument.
QUINCY A. GLASS.

Mr.. ]. Mack Love, whose aspiration is
to he known as the Cy Leland of Kansas
Democracy, gave 1t out cold some months
since that the price Of fusion in 1898 would
be at least two places for Democrats on
the State ticket. This manifesto has been
followed by meetings Of committees, large
and small, and by an unceasing effort on
the part Of those who anticipate the per-
quisites to arrange satisfactory slate and
deal. Ex-senator PETER has contributed a
long article to fusion literature entitled
'''rhe Passing Of the Peoples Party" while,
last but not least, that old-fashioned mid
dle-of-the-road" advocate, Mr.. Clemens,
has announced his willingness to sacrifice
everything to the cause Of fusion except
his own job. He also suggests with fine
sarcasm that the Populists in their new
liking for the Democracy become members
of the Democratic party. All this variety
of thought and movement tending on the
whole in one direction makes an interest
ing political study.
Perhaps the apotheosis of Col. j. Mack
Love, a subject somewhat neglected in
political literature, Is as interesting as
any. Mr.. Love is pleasant gentleman
who adds to the Irish effect Of his name
by parting it in the middle, and Of whom
no one outside OF CoWley county ever heard
much until the campaign Of 1896 At this
time by one of the accidents Of Kansas
politics he was lifted into an undue pr0mi-
nence by being made the temporary head
of the close corporation known as the
Democratic State Central committee
In person he bears a striking resemblance
to Sandy Grimes, who runs the joint at
Norwich, and should he been seen with
his coat off In front Of Sandy's place on a
warm summer afternoon, or in front of
similar resort In his own town, probably
very few people, judging from appearances
only, would dispute his right as proprietor.
Upon taking possession of headquarters
at Topeka he at once contributed his large
and pervading smile to the campaign. He
also looked on with mild approval while
the Populists were breaking in the ribs
of the Republican machine from the out
side and the silver Republicans were carv-
ing its digestive apparatus from the in
terror. After election his joy was as un-
confined as that Of the backwoods gentle-
man after his wife Betsey had treated

An Open Letter to the COlOred Con-
greSSman.
@. sTIMsON.

Hon. George II. White, Congressman from
North Carolina:
Dear Sir:-Allow me to congratulate you
on account of your vote on the Teller reso-
luton, showing you, the only member Of
your race in the Republican party in the
House, to have more honesty and patriot
ism than all the white Republicans with
single exception. You honored the in
telligence Of your race when you had the
sense to know and the courage to vote that
a dollar that Is good enough to pay an
old soldiers pension or q laborer's wages
is good enough to pay any debt even con-
tracted under our flag.
May you continue to honor your race
by your good sense and patriotism. hope
you will never vote for any kind of Cur
rency reform" than that which will give
full legal tender money issued by the
whole people.
The Kansas Republican Congressman,
who voted against the resolution because
1t was irrelevant, may find that some of
his constituents will vote against him next
November because he is irrelevant, in
competent and unnecessary,

Our Republican United States Senator

Queer lawyer, he! Why is 1t that men
abandon all their legal training and lose
fall into the political clutches Of the treach-
erous money power? Lucien Baker knows
better, and he owes it to his reputation as q
lawyer and his standing as an honest man
to cut loose from the gold standard, money
contracting, bankruptcy breeding crowd
and vote for and represent the people of
Kansas, instead of Wall street and the
gold gamblers, as he Is now doing. Lucien,
resign and come home! You misrepre-
sent Kansas. You are too small for this
great State, and unworthy to wear the
toga Of the illustrious Plumb.

Denmark has is water. All the rest must
be imported, so II is easily understood that
the government Of that country runs It's
roads under adverse circumstances.
The State Of Kansas should also furnish
school house, teachers, books, maps, charts,
and everything and collect taxes for It's
support. Then we would come nearer to
having a Just and equal tax for school
purposes. We are good way Off from that
now. We should have eleven months school
in every school district In the State; we
should have advanced pupils attend school
two days a week during summer and four
days during winter giving the grown chill
dren an opportunity to learn to work and
at the same time not lose a chance for
partial education.
We will get all Of this when the constitu-
tion Is not in the way and the Will OF the
majority is the constitution.

The prospect of peace, which the
step taken by Spain give us the right
to hope for, ought to be and doubt
less is very gratifying to most OF the
American people. 1t cannot be ex-
pected, it seems, however, at once.
Even with it almost in sight, as it
were, several more weeks of fighting
may be expected, it is stated, before
concessions will be made by Spain
which will be acceptable to the Uni.
ted States. What these concessions
will be has not yet been determined,
but the indications seem to be, that
Spain must give up to us Cuba, Porto
Rico, probably the Ladrone Islands,
and surrender to US coaling station
IN the Philippine Island. The war
ought MOTTO be prolonged. Spain in
her wretched condition ought to want
peace on almost any terms and the
Indications seem to be that this
country is disposed to deal charitably
with her enemy.

Spain has Sued for Peace,

Washington, July 26.-SpaiR has
to President Mckinley through M.
Cambon, the French ambassador.
The following official statement is
made:
1.-THE French Ambassador, on be-
half of the government OF Spain and
by direction of the Spanish Minister
of Foreign Affairs, presented to the
President this afternoon at the
White House a message from the
Spanish government looking to the
termination of the war and the set
Element of terms of peace"
Spain's communication, presented
by Ambassador Cambon, is general
in terms, and does not make any dis
tinct propositions as to Cuba, the
Philippines, or any other possessions
1t is simply a request that peace
negotiations be opened. No armlstice
is proposed.
After Ambassador Cambon sub
mitted the proposal general talk
followed between him, the President,
Secretary Day and M: Thiebault.
The President reserved his answer,
an understanding being reached that
he would at once lay the subject be-
fore the Cabinet and then invite III
Cambon to another conference at the
White House. when the final answer
will be given as to the willingness OF
this government to open pegotla-
tions.
The manner in which the peace
NEGOTIATIONS shall be conducted in
case the United States accepts
Spain's tender, has not been deter
mined upon. but it IS understood
that the method likely to be adopted
is to have General Horace Porter
United States Ambassador at Paris,
and Senior Leon Castillo, Spanish
Ambassador at Paris, carry forward
the negotiations from the point ar
rived at by the President and Am
bassador Cambon.

SATURDAY, JULY 50, 1928.

The people of Northampton will
say at the polls on next Tuesday,
whether or not, the location of the
courthouse of that county is to be
changed. The question being a bust
ness proposition and one in which
every citizen of that county is more
or less interested, certain things are
10 be taken into consideration by
every citizen who would deposit MS
ballot intelligently. That a court
house ought to be centrally Located
and convenient as possible to the
greatest number of its citizens are
truths too self evident to be debata-
bic even. and viewed from these
standpoints their certainly seems TO
be no reason for change in the site
of the present courthouse of North
ampton. A claim for the courthouse
at one end of the county on either OF
these grounds would be so absurd
that il would be farcical, if made. II
these reasons, however, are not su1h-
Gent for the retention of the court
house at its present site, the question
of additional taxation and OF de-
nreciation of value in real estate not
only at the present county seat but
for miles around it are entitled to
some consideration at the hands OF
the voters? Why should the people
burden themselves with the thous
ands of dollars which would be nee
cessarily incurred in public buildings
nv the removal of the courthouse
Why should the people impose upon
themselves the additional taxation
which would necessarily fall TO them
in the depreciation in value OF the
nroperty of considerable portion OF
its citizens by the removal of the
courthouse? If the people, however,
of that county would pay tribute to
Cape Charles because it is thrifty
town and they are proud OF it, re-
yardless OF their convenience and the
property interests of great number
of its citizens, then the question Is
presented in light which had not
occurred to us and a change in the
location of the courthouse of North
ampton ought to be made. But if the
idea should prevail, of the greatest
good to the greatest number, then
the opposite is true. For the reasons
presented and others which space
will not permit US to give, we do not
believe the courthouse ought to be
removed from it's present site. Nor
can we believe that many OF the cltl-
zens, native aud to the manner born,
in whatever part of the county they
may reside, do favor it. That the PEG
pie of Northampton will show by
their votes on Tuesday that they are
"against removal as did the people
of Accomac years ago when a similar
effort was made to remove their court
house to the railroad we have no
doubt. but they should show
their disapproval in way so empha-
tic that it will not be attempted
again.
