1.-THE POLICY OF DELAY"
An Ogden Correspondent Agrees
With The Herald's Views.

With The Herald's Views.
To the Editor of The Herald:
While the policy of delay pursued
by the authorities at Washington in the
prosecution of the war against Spain
may be regarded as resting upon sur
ficient considerations of the UMPIRE
paredness of the United States, it is
wholly unsustained by the uniform
policy of illustrious and victorious he
roes of the past.

approach, and the fatal and decisive
catastrophe was inflicted during mo-
ment of the enemy's unpreparedness

from the Roman senate to carry the

LeedN'S Grimes.

At a meeting Of the Republican State
committee, recently, it was decided to
make the campaign on Leedy's record in
connection with the Kansas volunteers.
The report does not say where he will
be attacked, but 1t is presumed that
they will denOunCe him for being among
the first Governors to get the volunteers
ready to muster in, thereby endanger>
ing their lives If they had been the first
sent to the battlefield.
They will attack him and hold him re-
sponsible for the Republican adminis>
tration's order increasing companies
from Sc to 104 men because he advocated
that as the proper thing when the first
regiments were mustered In.
They will charge him with the high
crime OF standing up for and commits
sloning old soldiers as officers after they
had been elected by the men, when the
United States mastering officer said
they could not be, and afterwards influ-
enced the national administration at
Washington to sustain him in it.
They will charge that he was the first
Governor to hold that the militia should
enlist just the same as any other vol
unteeT and by some occult influence
brought President McKinley's admins
tratiOn to believe the same way.

Colonel Fitch is one of the most thor

the late war, told me that his old regi-
ment, at no time during its three years
service, attained a greater state Of eff
cheney in drill than the Twenty-flrst has
done in three months.
"All reports derogatory to the Kansas
troops in respect to drill and general
efficiency and the low esteem in which
they are held are absolutely false. Two
or three appointments were made which,
in my judgment, were mistakes. The
deficiencies of the few are, however
fully compensated by the superior quail
ity Of the others. II the soldiers from
Kansas never get to the frontwe may all

Leedy Opposes Philippine Annexation

Governor Leedy does not favor de-
parting from the established traditions
of the United States in colonial matters.
He does not favor Philippine annex
alton, as 1t would not be in harmony
with the policy announced at the be-
ginning of the war. Discussing the
matter, he said:
Outside OF the fact that it would force
us to follow the example of foreign ma
tions in keeping large army, there is
the added reason that other nations
would never trust us again. Now we
have reputation for honesty as a ma
tiOn. We said we did not go into this
war to acquire territory. The whole
world took our word for 1t.
If we change our policy the other ma
tions will never trust us again. When
we start to do anything they will not
only watch us, but be our enemies, be-
cause our desires, coupled with bad
reputation, would make 1t necessary
for them to look out for us. You go
down street and the police pay no
attention to you. They consider it un-
necessary to watch you. II you go to
stealing they will watch every move you
make.
so our good reputation has kept us
on high level that other nations have
always respected. Break it and we are
forever in bad repute. Besides, If we do
take in the Philippines and other dis
tant parts it will cost us four dollars to
take care Of them for every dollar we
get out Of them"

Alleged Democrats Are Really Repub-
licanS.

A conference Of anti-fusion Democrats
was held at Topeka last week. 1t was
attended by fifteen to eighteen persons.
It was decided that no ticket would be
put in the field, and that the parties to
the agreement should devote their time
and attention to defeating Populism,
which means that they are going to the
Republican party, where they belong.
The meeting was attended by Eugene
Hagan, WhoOp TOmlinsOn and H. Won
Langen of Topeka, Jim Fike Of Colby,
VIII Walker of Goodland, Henry Lifts
of Abilene, Tom Moonlight, Ed Carroll
and John Hannah Of Leavenworth, Dick
Morris Of Atchison, S. s. Reynolds of
Grainfeld, L. A. Woods, of Burlington,
w. G. Hoffer Of Lincoln and Arthur
Haywood of Ottawa. Nearly all of these
men supported the Palmer and Buckner
ticket two years ago. Fusion Democrats
assert that some Democrats might have
been secured for a straight ticket, but
that the day will never come when
members Of the party can be induced to
vote with the Republicans.

Doster Talks of Kansas Soldiers.

Chief Justice Doster has just returned
from an Eastern trip, on which he
stopped to visit the Twenty-second
Kansas at Camp Alger and the Twenty
first at Chickamauga. He tells Of how
he found the boys in the following state
ment, which he made after he returned
to his home:
"The armies there and elsewhere in
the country are the greatest body Of
soldiery the world has ever seen. l do
not except the veterans Of the Civil war
a generation ago. The soldiers Of to-
day are better because the general level
Of intelligence is now higher. Men have
grown since then in character, in moral
purpose, in patriotic feeling and in stat
ure, too America is the greatest OF all
nations, great in material resources,
great in the intelligence and elevated
character of her people, but greatest OF
all in her soldiers. That is because war,
hateful though it is, brings out the high
est qualities of people
"One thing which particularly i'm
pressed me was the fine physical proper
tions Of nearly all the men. That is no
army Of pigmies or weaklings. The
Fourth Missouri at Camp Alger is the
fnest-looking body Of uniformed men
have ever seen, and have seen hun
dreds of thousands of them. Close after
it, and so nearly equal that the diffeEr
ence has to be studied out rather than
seen, is the Twenty-secOnd Kansas.
There is regiment which in some re-
spects is unique as military organiza-
tiOn. 1t has more educated men than
any regiment which ever took the field
in any war. 1t has one company of col
lege students exclusively. 1t has two
or three hundred school teachers. 1t has
scores Of men who can stand an exami-
nation in all branches Of education from
arithmetic to astronomy, from grammar
to Greek.
Naturally, too, it is regiment of
high-minded and moral young men.
There Is in it less drunkenness and other
vices and more amenability to disci
pline than in any other regiment in
camp. A recent issue Of Harper's Week
ly specially commented upon its high
grade of intelligence and moral char
acter. 1t has been singularly free from

but few cases Of serious illness. doubt

and there has been no complaint what
ever about them. am informed that
not a single soldier has been arrested
since they were mustered in, and so far
as l can see their behavior has always
been gentlemanly.
"At the show last night their action
was especially cOmmendable. They as
sisted in the management of the crowd
without using any force and were as po-
lite as men could be. In making my
official report l shall call attention to
their behavior"
The commendatlOn Of Captain Rey-
nolds can be indorsed by the people of
Topeka, the Journal thinks, and 1t adds
that a more well-behaved assemblage Of
young men was never before seen in this
city. The cOlored soldiers here are In

Years ago the city OF Topeka began
having trouble with its waterworks sys-
TEN. Suits of various kinds have found
their way into court and ,all things con-
sidered the plant has been very ex-
pensive one. At the last meeting OF the
city council petition signed by 1000
citizens asking that special election
be called to vote on municipal owner
ship proposition, was submitted. The
ways and means committee adopted the
demands of the petitioners without op-
position. A resolution was adopted di-
recting the city attorney to prepare an
ordinance calling a special election and
authorizing the issue of bonds to pro-
vide waterworks for the city. The mat
ter was then referred to City Attorney
Bird and Engineer Barnes and a general
improvement in Topeka's waterworks
system seems near at hand.

Voting Made Easy for Kansas Soldiers

Secretary of State w. E. Bush has
decided to print tickets for Kansas SOL
der boys in the old-fashioned way. The
candidates names will be printed on
slips labeled with the party name. Each
party will have a separate slip. The
Australian ballots are regarded as likely
to be too cumbersome and the completed
ballots will not be ready In time. On
the tickets which go to the soldiers
there will be no names printed below
the county candidates, as there is no
provision in law authorizing soldiers
to vote for minor officers. In order I'd
aid the soldier fac SMILES Of the various
tickets in the Australian form will be
printed so that they may be posted in
the various camps long enough before
election to enable the boys to familiarize
themselves with the names of the can
didates and consider how they want to
vote.
