CUBA'S CARBON BIRD.
Buzzards Are the Soldiers Most Useful
Allies

Allies
A feature of campaigning in China
which has inspired the soldiers from the
north with horror and disgust is the
presence of the hugh turkey buzzards
on the battlefield. The bird is perhaps
in appearance and habits the most loath-
some creature of the air known to this
continent.
Yet there is much to be said on the
side of the carr;on birds. They are our
best allies, and as soon as a battle
is over their work of sanitation begins.
In that hot climate death turks in the
dead and reaches forth for the living
Close behind death in battle waits death
by pestilence, ready to claim more VIC
Tins than shot and she'll. 1t is here
that the vultures perform their part. ter
rible to think Of but very necessary to
the army's veal. After the battles
friend and foe lie dead together in the
all but inpenetrable chaparra. What
the burial parties cannot find in the
tangled underwood the instinct of the
vulture discovers. Far away in the
sky-distance black spot appears, grows
larger and sails along on mOtionless
wings, until presently it settles down to
earth. Others follow, gathering from
all points of the compass. They settle
in little bands of six or eight, or even a
a dozen, and when they have risen IL
stead of the intolerable and horrible
residue of humanity which lay in the
brush, a menace of pestilence, there re-
mains only a skeleton to whiten in the
sun and rain.

Contagious blood poison is absolutely
beyond the skill of the doctors. They
may dose a patient for years on their
mercurial and potash remedies, but he
will never be rid of the disease; on the
other hand, his condition will grow
steadily worse. S. S. S. is the only cure
for this terrible affection, because it is

the cause of the disease and forces it

or condemn the manner In which it was
done? The time to criticise and con-
demn is when some good can be aC-
cOmplished by it and not wait until
decision or judgment has become final
or beyond recall before pointing out err
rOneous or unjust proceedings. What
good can 1t do to argue a case after it
has passed into final judgment? Pride
OF opinion would entTench the court and
impel 1t to adhere to its own decision.
Post mOrtem Investigations are Of no
interest or benefit to the cadaver. Post
judicare comments or arguments are of
little or no more benefit to the unfor-
tunate litigant. The courts are not per-
feet or immaculate. In many cases they
are not harmonious. The annual digests
show this, for in any one of them de-
cisions Of courts of last resort can be
found upon all sides Of many questions
and the courts frequently say that the
conflict is great and irreconCilable. The
courts need the help and aid Of the press
to protect them against designing litl-
gants and to assist them in getting at
the very truth and right of the matter
in many cases.
The mission Of the press is to dissem-
mate light, to publish the news, to tell
the truth, to commend where cOmmen-
datiOn is merited and to censure and
condemn where wrong has been or is
about to be done. In this country we
know no such thing as a bill of rights
from the crown to the people, but only
license from the people to the officials
who govern. And in this land of lib
eTty no official is so holy or exalted that
his action or contemplated action is
above comment, criticism or censure.
Where such person or official is found
he is an absolute monarch, approach
able only when his scepter gives con-
sent and then only with the face of the
subject In the dust. The press of free
America knows no such surveillance, rec
Ognizes no such authority and yields to
no such dictatorship.

POLITICAL PREVARICATION.

When the Topeka Capital says edi-
torially that aside from whisky selling
within the knowledge Of the police
power, there have never been so many
crimes committed in Topeka as under
the treacherOus Leedy administration, +"
it gives publication to a silly lie, one Of
many which 1t is forced to trump up
in order to have something to say in the
way of political editorials. The Capital
ought to be too large a paper to degen-
crate to such low practices, even though
it has nothing with which to make a
State campaign on this year.
The Advocate and News is not in IA
vOr of the metropolitan police law, and
does not attempt to excuse its existence,
but because Governor Leedy has been
no better or worse than his predecessors
in Office in this regard 1t does not utterly
condemn him, forgetting the really great
things that the people have asked for
and obtained through him and his ad-
ministratiOn. This paper is not parti-
saints announced position is indie
pendence, supporting principles above
the party machinery-and it could not
honestly support plans Of government
by and for the people and uphold sys-
tenn at variance with home rule. Fur
ther than this it could not remain hon
est and magnify a little thing to the
ObsCuring of action that should have
been taken years ago. The people have
been demanding numerous things for
years. They have received more from
the Leedy administration than from any
other which has yet been in office; and
they will not forget this when the time
comes for Reimbursement. II the Cap
ital were at least occasionally honest in

people everything in sight and then fail
ing to remember even the smallest Of
their promises. This will avail them
nothing this year, for they run up
against stone wall in the present State
officers. Like previous administrations
they have spent their contingent funds,
but the money at their disposal has been
expended for the public good, and not
for private gain. The stock yards, in
surance and miners fights are only ex-
amDles Of what the present admins
tratiOn has been accomplishing along
lines that had been but mere promises
heretofore. The Republicans have moth
Ing to go on but the large amount of
corporation money that will be brought
into the State to aid them. Money alone
would win in a more cOngested COM
munity but 1t fights a hopeless fight
in an agricultural State like Kansas.

MUZZLING THE PRESS.

In recent case the Supreme court Of
Iowa announces the startling propo-
sitiOn that during the progress of trial
the proceedings must be entirely free
from newspaper comment and criticism.
In that particular case trial was being
had in one of the District courts upon
the charge Of incest The editor of a
local newspaper published an article
critiCizing the action of some Of the
parties connected with the litigation,
and expressing the opinion that the
prosecution was put-up job. Some of
the jurors were regular subscribers to
the newspaper and read the article In
the jury room. The editor was sum-
moned before the court and fined thirty
dollars for contempt in publishing the
article. The Supreme court affirmed the
decision and say: Let the courts per-
form their duties UnmOlested, but their
final judgments as we'll as the manner Of
reading them, are thereafter open to
the world for such criticism or condem-
nation as taste or necessity may re-
quire."
In other words, after an alleged GRIM
inal may have been illegally and un-
justly condemned and executed the
methods by which it was done may
thereafter be criticised or condemned,
but nothing whatever must be said by
the newspapers to avert or arrest an
unjust, illegal or tyrannical decision.
Such proposition would have been
startling even In the days of Judge
Jeffries, but in these modern days of
enlightenment, free speech and free
press, the reading masses Of the people
demand to know the facts and the truth
in regard to every proceeding, whether
it be judicial, Legislative or executive,
and no department or function OF gov
ernment is so exalted as to be above or
beyond comment or criticism. II the
courts can muZzle the press and place a
dictatorship over what shall and shall
not be published, then this ceases to be
government by the people and be-
comes a monarchy ruled and controlled
by the courts alone. LET the courts per-
form their duties unmOlested, but their
final judgments as we'll as the manner
of reaching them are thereafter open to
criticism or condemnation" is an at
tempted restriction which the free press
of America win be very 10th to bear.

A TIGHT PLACE FOR REPUBLICANs.

When the Republicans first offered the
Morrill, administration to the voters Of
Kansas they set It out as their choicest
cOnCOction their idea Of perfection in
State government, the bright particular
star which should tell ages yet unborn
that Kansas was an important piece Of
earth toward the close Of the nineteenth
century.
They were given an opportunity to
make little hlstory-and they made it.
They made the claim that Kansas was
sorely in need of some directors of her
affairs who should make it a business;
they talked and thought and slept and
talked over this until they really be-
lleved that Kansas ought to be put into
the hands Of receiver. A receiver, 1t
is well known, is man who receives.
He Is not called receiver and disburser
because that does not fit his operations.
It Is supposed to be the business of a re-
ceiver to wind up the affairs OF person,
Arm or corporation, and in most cases
he is stem-winder That is what the
Republicans itched to give Kansas. They
argued that Kansas should have an adj
ministration which should be full Of
business, and as receiverships happened
to be the fad in business just about that
time they felt 1t incumbent upon them
to get Kansas in line with a receiver
ship. Their extra fine sense Of business
would not allow them to wait until after
they were installed in Office and Mr..
Bristow was obliged to do some very
laborious work before the Inauguration
OF Governor Morrill,. And from that
time on there was business at most Of
the meetings of the Executive Council.
When they asked to be returned to the
public trough did Governor Morrill,, Sec
retary Of State Edwards, Attorney Gem
eral Dawes, Treasurer Atherton and
Auditor Cole point with pride to their
record as a good business adminlstra-
ton? Not at all, They could not fool
all of the people all the time. 1t was
the gold standard that was necessary
to give the State prosperity and happi-
ness, and Of course the gold standard
was represented in Kansas by the Nor
rlll administration. The gold standard
was to give the State all that was
needed; but even this fat-pursed policy
Of Wall street sickened under the heavy
load the good business administration
made for 1t.
And now the Republicans are before
the State again wanting to be returned
to power. That grand, incompetent,
miserable Morrill, administration Of
theirs is not their plea for restoration
they have no legitimate plea. They
have been in the habit Of promising the
