HOW WE WILL FIGHT.

The wars Of the future will be largely
naval wars. Especially is this true
with reference to any war that the
United States may possibly have on it's
hands, or engage in. No country save
Canada, no power on the globe, can at
tack the United States save by the sea.
Fifty millions Of dollars is a pretty
round sum t. vote in a single day for
naval exigencies. 1t may not go far in
an enforced emergency, but had such
a sum been regularly expended in the
construction and strengthening of our
present navy, it would have made a
grand showing. The American navy is
probably relatively much greater and
stronger than it would seem by simply
numbering its battleships, cruisers,
gunboats, torpedo engines and torpedo
boat destrOyers. It's strength is largely
ly in its theory and tactics in connec-
ton with the vessels which have been
constructed in accordance Herewith.
Japan's late naval victories were due
to American ideas and tuition. The
have been a tremendous victory for the
American theory of naval tactics. The
Japanese navy has been exclusively
tutore1 by American naval officers
the Chinese by English and Russian
and German methods. Japan won over
these with her American methods at
the battle Of Yalu. Japan did not pos
sess a ship as late as 1868. Then she
borrowed some of our naval officers. a
New York boy, Lieutenant Grinnell,
helped Japan to found its first naval
school, which was conducted by Ameri-
can officers Grinnell became an admi-
raj for Japan and Japan became mis-
tress of the Yellow sea. The modern
American ship of war was demonstrat-
ed to the superior to the old European
standard

RIGHT TO THE POINT.

The Lawrence Journal in calmly ami
nadverting on the failures of the Kan
sas reformers, succinctly sums up the
entirety of Pop dereliction in saying
that ''the proposition Of Governor
Leedy for special session of the legis-
lature is a confession of failure on the
part of the Populists. When he asks
the legislature to meet in special ses-
sion he makes bold to say that the
members failed in their duty, failed
even to fulfill the pledges they made
when elected, and he pleads with them
to come back and make good the prom
Uses they gave to secure the votes that
elected them. 1t is weak plea, a hu-
initiating confession. No Republican
legislative body was ever called to-
gether in special session without excuse
save that it had not redeemed its
pledges. Bad as the Democratic party
has been, it never came before the pub
lie and admitted that it had neglected
and refused to make good it's promises.
It remained for the party of reform
to admit that it made q signal failure
when it attempted TO carry out its
pledges. That it did fail is a matter of
public notoriety. That such failure re-
suited in good to the state is undisput-
ed save by Governor Leedy and a few
of his followers. That failure is the only
hope Of Populism. Had the promises
given been fulfilled, the Populist party
of Kansas would never again have been
a factor in Kansas politics. If Governor
Leedy succeeds in his scheme and a
special session is called, it means dan
ger to his party. If that session gives
to the state the laws threatened, the
early demise of the party is assured.
1t appears to be a case Of damned if
you do and damned if you don't, and
Governor Leedy prefers to go down at
to do harm than to fall doing

HONEST PRIMARIES.

Formerly, in fact up till within very
recent date, no attempt was made by
Inc Iaw-making powers to interfere
with elections, or to take any cogniz-
nnce farther than to count the ballots
md declare the result But now we
have close election supervision and the
Australian ballot. Everybody can't be
4 candidate now. Still, parties have
les and conventions in their own way.
But the heelers, strikers and their
bosses have invited a further legal sur
VIGILANCE It is now proposed to regu-
latet primaries in the interest Of hon
nsty and decency. There has been a
practical agreement among the Re-
pubIicans in the New York legislature
upon the provisions Of a primary cleo
ton bill which is TO be urged for pass
age at this session.
The bill provides, in brief, that there
shall be a secret ballot at the primar-
les; that the primaries of both parties
shall be held on the same day, inspect
ore Of each party to watch the voting
at their respective caucuses, and it is
possible, also, that voters may be re-
quired to express their party preference
when they register, not in an open
and public way, but by depositing
slip Of paper in a sealed envelope which
is to be opened after election, and
which will form the basis of the enroll
ment of voters.
This bill has the endorsement Of the
Union League club of New York, and
all the leading Republican organiza-
tiotns of the state, and the opposition
which has come from the machine poll
ticians is surely being overcome. Gov
ernor Black is now said to be in favor
of its passage, and there seems to be
no doubt of its enactment into law.
The sentiment in favor of primary
election reform is growing in all parts
of the country. It is beginning to be
recognized as a fact that if the purity
Of the ballot box is to be maintained
the work of publication must begin at
the primary in the precinct, which is
the real source Of all political action in
a representative government. The leg
islature of Kansas ought not to fail to
enact a primary election law at this
session. Such a law should be enacted
as will insure absolutely honesty in the
conduct Of party primaries, and render
it impossible for Democrats, for in
stance, to participate in Republican
caucuses and help nominate Republi-
can candidates for whom they have no
intention of voting
