PERCY DANIELS REVOLTS.
The Man Who Was Lieutenant Governor
Under Leweliing scatters Hot Shot
Among the POpulists.

Gen. Perez Daniels, lieutenant gov.
ernor under the Lewelling administra.
ton, has put his blanket on and left
the pop reservation. Some time ago
he wrote an article entitled "A Pro.
test on the Council Door," to be used
as a supplement in populist papers.
The article was suppressed. Now he
has had the article printed and Is
scattering it broadcast. A glance at
"a Protest on the Council Door" is
only necessary, however, to discover
why the populist managers suppressed
it. II starts out:
To the earnest reformer the political situa-
tion in Kansas is an exceedingly perplexing
one Most Kansas reformers are as yet identi-
fed with the populists, but they see populism
is waning cause.
Speaking Of the record Of the popu-
list party, Gen. Daniels, in his protest,
says:
The recent record Of the populist party shows
that Its ranks IRE no longer the place for ear
nest reformers In the general chaos OF prin.
ciple In the political arena and the wreck Of
tangible patriotic purposes, the only tenable
position for reformers to occupy Is that Of in
dependence, They cannot consistently remain
allied with any party that shows no purpose to
defend the rights OF the industrial classes by q
resort to measures that will release them from
the oppressive effects Of 30 years Of capitalistic
spoliation.
In giving his reasons why he cannot
support Gov Leedy for reelection,
Gen. Daniels says:
The interest that controlled the populist
state convention Of 1898 are responsible for the
failure to respond 10 the call Of the legislature
and move forward
For this failure. as well as for the abandon
ment Of Its early methods and purpose, the
party deserves, not vindication, but rebuke.
Gov, Leedy and his party machine rs they
were In control Of the convention, are respon
stole for the failure to sustain the legislature
FOR this reason Iopposs bis reelection

Topeka, Kan, Oct 20.-The members
Of the First battalion OF the Twenty

from San Francisco for Manila, carry
ballots with them and will vote on
Kansas officers about midway between

HOW LONG CAN YOU
KEEP AWAKE?

How long can a man work without
sleep, and how long can he endure days
in which twenty hours are given to
wakefulness, If not to work? I have
always been anxious to know the true
answer to these questions. and have
asked many experienced people for an
opinion.
One learned doctor solemnly stated
that no healthy man could overwork
after certain time he would fall
asleep at his task. The general opinion
is not in agreement with this theory,
doctors being generally agreed that
mans inclination is prone to forget all
natural limitations.
During the past week two journalists
Of the Woodworking species have given
me their views. One claims to have
worked for seventy-two hours, with
three intervals OF two hours for repose
the other claims to be content with four
or five hours sleep out Of the twenty
four.
The only statistics as to limits of en-
durance comes from China, where a
form of torture is to keep the victims
from sleeping. They die on or before
the fifth day.-London Sketch.
