THE FEAR OF REsUBM1ssION.

Occasionally man Is found who OBJ
jeCts to constitutional convention on
the ground that 1t means resubmissiOn
OF the prohibitOry liquor amendment.
When asked what he has to fear in re-
submission his argument Is that there
would be no danger in resubmitting the
amendment to vote OF the people II
the liquor interest were not certain to
use an enormous amount Of money in or
der to corrupt and change the vote. This
Is the only legitimate argument against
resubmission, and the only argument
the prohibitionist has against a consti-
tutional convention.
Let us analyze 1t. It Is a plain admits.
sion that the prohibltlonists have failed
to maintain their ground. BY the time
resNbmisssion can be obtained, grant.
ing that 1t is now possible to secure re-
submission, they will have had twenty
years to test and strengthen their meas
ure. In that time they should have been
watching keenly for weak places, attack
ing the friends Of the liquor evil, and
constantly going forward. Some prOhi-
bitiOnists have done this, notably those
who are uphOldlng the State Temperance
Union, but a great many, as Gen. Percy
Daniels aptly says, have supported "ev-
cry feature, claim and proposition OF the
temperance law but its enforcement
They have felt that the battle was won
and the struggle over when It really was
but well on. They could not see that II
was necessary to keep going forward.
These are the people who never find out
their mistake until 1t Is too late.
II half OF those who by their church
connection alone have pronounced them
selves prohibitiOnists would stand up
manfully for their cause there would be
none OF this talk. There would be- no

THE ATTITUDE OF THE PEOPLES
PARTY OFFICIALS.

Whatever falsehoods the Republican
speakers and press may give out against
Peoples party officials, they have not
dared to assert that If elected those Off
cials will not carry out the party prin-
ciples and platform. The officials at
present representing the party may have
been mistaken in some things they have
done, the may have been unable to rise
above human limitations, but they have
certainly given the people all that can
be asked Of any party-an honest and
business-like administration Of State af-
fairs. The legislators have saved to the
people an immense sum Of money, and
the exploiters who would have received
1t under Republican rule have naturally
kicked.
Naturally the book trust does not like
Superintendent Stryker, for he and the
American Book Company stand for radi-
cally different lines Of action. Webb Nc
Nall has been prominent in this cam
paign because he saved money to the
people in stead of wlnking at its appro-
priation by the insurance companies. At
torney General Boyle and all the other
State officers have become noted for
their steadfast adherence to the funda-
mental doctrine of the Peoples party
that special privileges should never be
granted to a few at the expense and
degradation of others. The people Of
Kansas will remember this at the polls
Tuesday and the regranting Of power to
the Peoples party will be followed by
still further ,faithfulness to trust on the
part of those whose good work has been
in evidence for the last two years.

alton. A readjusting process OF taxation
that discriminates in favor of the small
holdings Of the multitude, and against
the inordinate piles Of treasures of the
multi-milliOnaires is the only remedy for
the disease OF the body polite.
"A few try to bring such a project
into disrepute by charging that 4 is

They are right. 1t is confiscation. SO
are the enormous sums paid in dividends
by the trusts and the watered stock syn
dicates acquired by cOnflscation. All
forms of public taxes are confscation.
Let us meet the illegal and discrim-
mating taxes Of the trust cOrmOrants and
Watered stock vampires by the legal and
discriminating taxes of government.
THE latter are excusable on account
Of being designed for a public benefit.
But the extortionate levies of the trusts
are solely for private benefit.

of the trust leeches that are Dloated with
sucking in the profits and possessions
Of the industrials, with the peaceful and
lawful confiscations of government lev

PUBLIC INSTEAD OF PRIVATE CAPITAL

Here is some gospel truth from the pen
of Percy Daniels. It means socialism, Of
course, and that what we want Is not
so much reform as a change to an
equitable system. General Daniels says:
Indeed must capital be protected; but
the better protection will hold 1t in the
possession Of Its producers.
''Now it becomes the pirates plunder
through the knavery Of rebates, the
Counterfeiting in watered stocks, and
the loaded dice Of a hundred and fifty
trusts. Capital is never as we'll pro-
tected as when 1t finds its snug harbors
in the pockets Of our industrial army.
There can be but one remedy for these
threatening conditions. 1t is as certain
to bring the desired change as food for
the starving. No party can take up the
cause of oppressed labor that does not
demand and intend to apply this remedy
as wealth concentration the cause OF
our trouble? Then wealth diffusion Is
the remedy. It Is the only remedy.

NATIONAL ISSUES AND STATE CAM-
PAIRNS.


It is very noticeable that party which
has nothing to uphold In Its plans or
record in q State campaign turns to ma
tional issues as a cloak for it's nakedness
OF course, the party that has made mis-
erable failure of State administration
and whose bosses will not permit 1t to
promise better behavior for the future
Is not anxious to discuss issues which are
to be voted on. Therefore 1t takes up
some secondary or immaterial matter In
the campaign, saying that it is at stake
and before the people for consideration.
It is also noticeable that this lodging
and hiding do not often fool the voters.
They see through the trick, and the
party that stands for an advance in the
interest Of the people is the one that
finally wins out. This Is true in Kan
sas; the Republican party is unable to
fool the people with It's cry for help for
Mckinley, and the vote next Tuesday is
going to be cast In favor OF the party
which is able and willing to do the State

THE GOOD IN IMPERIALISM

1t Is practically certain that we are to
take up policy Of imperialism, forsak-
ing the Monroe doctrine for a radically
different course from that he have fol-
lowed since the country was young We
are to take care Of the Philippines pa
ternally as we'll as commercially, and It
Is the determination of whether or not
paternalism shall dominate over COM
mercialism that must bring good or evil
out Of our new policy.
If we continue to be merely CONNER
Cial, making our ruling of the Filipinos
and other subject peoples secondary
matter, we shall signally fail, just as we
have failed in our Indian policy, just as
we have failed in our government Of the
natives Of Alaska. CommerCialism means
decay in government If we throw of
our tendency toward commerCialism and
rule our new possessions in the name of
humanity, thus arresting the decay, our
new policy will be successful.
1t is an interesting decree Of fate that
the party which has OF late years stood
for cOmmercialism should be assigned
the duty Of initiating this new policy.
Imperialism means the abandonment of
the high protective tariff and the conse-
quent adoption Of a system Of taxing In
comes, inheritances and corporations.
With the adoption of imperialism 1t will
no longer be possible to squeeze every
thing out Of the producer This has been
carried nearly to the limit, as govern
ment statistics we have recently quoted
go to prove, and the added expense above
returns from our new dependencies will
demand the substitution Of another
method. Against this socialistic change
the Republican party stood for some
time, and avowedly since the adoption
Of the gold platform. But now 1t finds
itself suddenly seized and faced around;
when 1t catches its breath and sees what
1t is headed at it will be too late to re-
treat.
This change must take place or we
must return to a monarchy. 1t Is in
conceivable that as we have been going
the other way ever since we Struck a
gait" we should now turn to the form of
government we have always thought to
be less progressive than our own. Then,
there is nothing left but to go on toward
democracy, and there is everything to-
lead us to believe that this way will be
taken, despite the evident repugnance
of the Republican party to such STEP
1t is no argument against this result
to urge that private capitalism will not
submit, even though capitalism has de-
fed any attempts to bring it about in the
past, for this would force the alternative
of public capitalism, substitution still
more distasteful to the wealth-retaining
classes.
