1t is history that In the great and
sometimes almost hopeless fights against
the great trusts the wage workers have
been the salvation of truth and right, the
labor unions especially throwing them
selves into the gap with true American
spirit. This same courage is what will
prevail in Kansas this fall. The con-
test is not by any means hopeless men
who are known as strong Republicans in
different parts OF the State have already
acknowledged that their party will again
see defeat this fall-but it is the sturdy
honesty which cannot be bought or COM
merCialized that will re-elect the candi-
dates of the Peoples party.

that is not saying what will happen at
forwards. It will be remembered that
Major Anderson volunteered an eX-
tremely sacriIegious prayer at Horton,
an outrage which the religious papers
of Topeka called upon the decent citi-
zens of the county not to forget, and to
rebuke at the polls should the OppOrtu-
nifty offer. Mulvane's Capital actually
published this sacrilege, reported for it
by one of the most accurate newspaper
men in Kansas, as any one who cares TO
read down fifty-six lines in the second
column on the third page Of the Capital
Of April IA may prove. That the Chris
tian people of the county resented this
insult cuts no figure with the Boss. He
Is not like the Standard Oil magnates In
having a church mask So far as the
outlook at the primaries is concerned
everything seems to be going smoothly.
Little DaVie has been booming the Ma
jor through his Capital. The editor of
the Capital is an estimable Christian
gentleman, who stands high in Topeka
church circles and teaches a class Of
girls in one of the largest Sunday schools
OF the city. He did not resign his job,
however, when Assistant Boss MulVane
ordered him to write long editorial IA
Voring Major AndersOn's candidacy. The
editorial was published, and about the
same time the Capital contained an ac-
count of the organization of an enthu-
siastic "T ]. Anderson club" This is
the same way in which the MulVanes
have made the Capital boom ]. Ralph
Burton ever since they obtained concur
rent pecuniary interests in the Capital
and Mr.. Burton. It is Davies part Of the
job for the Boss.
This, then, is the scheme in Shawnee
county: 1t is to go to the Boss as alb
solutely as Republican success can be
counted on. The faithful will get their
share of the patronage, David will edu-
cate the good people Of Topeka and vi
cinity and teach them a few things
through the mighty columns Of his pa
per. All will rebound to the aggrandize-
ment in the county and State Of the
Boss, G. Leland.
Shawnee county is one of the best in
the State, morally as we'll as in other
ways, and it is avowedly through the last
election temperance county. Here is
where the Leland boat may run into a
large snag. You can't bribe that sort Of
stuff, and the law and order sentiment
may be too much for Leland and his
satellites.

MAYOR FELLOWS SHOULD BE IMI-
TATED.

When the metropolitan police law was
suspended Mayor Fellows picked out the
best man he could find in Topeka for city
marshal in spite Of the strong objections
of a remnant of the shredded Hessin
gang who attempted to dictate the ap-
pointment. Marshal Strauss had an ex-
Cellent record as patrolman in the days
when Topeka had police force to be
proud Of. His friends knew him as a
man who would enforce the law without
fear or favor if allowed to do so, and it
is apparent that he has been left free to
do his duty. Since he has taken hold the
saloons have been driven out of business
in Topeka, the notorious -Four Hun
dred" resort of colored toughs, which
was bad enough to have been almost dis
reputable in Kansas City, Mo-, has been
broken up, and there is every indication
of keeping this thing up. This is just
what Mr.. Fellows promised when inter-
viewed.
Mayor Fellows-if you will accept con-
gratulations from Populist-your fist!
You are doing the right thing. Now that
the metropolitan police law is out Of the
way it is your duty to see that the police
force does its duty. You are not judge
to decide whether or not certain law
is to be enforced; there are other people
to do that work, and it has been done
as regards the prohibitory law. No one
has a right to insinuate that you will
see that it is done only until election or
that you are doing it to keep out OF
jail under the old judgment that hangs
over the city of Topeka, not until you
have given him chance to collect evil
dence along that line. The Advocate
and News has made a careful investiga-
tion-and you win surely testify that we
are able to do this-and can find moth
ing to show that the city administra-
tlon's course has not been carried on so
far in the right spirit and in way that
cannot be too highly commended.

THE SCHEME IN SHAWNEE.

The Republicans of Shawnee county
have an opportunity in next Saturdays
primaries of deciding whether or not
they want the establishment Of boss rule
Of the Eastern variety. It was agreed at
the Horton convention of the First dis
trict Republicans in April that Cyrus
Leland, jr., should have the control Of
Shawnee county in return for his sup
port Of Charles Curtis. Mr.. Leland's oc-
cupation is that of Boss, and as 1t Is
the business of a Boss to find and ap-
propriate unto himself good piCkings he
has accepted Shawnee county. His CO.
adiutor is Davie Mulvane, owner of the
Topeka Capital.
In Shawnee county Mr.. Leland is sure
that he has found an excellent field
which has been but little worked with
the methods Of the modern Boss. He
has enlarged beyond the capacity Of
DOniphan county, and at Topeka there
is field to suit him, rich in resources,
occupying commanding position for
the whole State, and practically untitled.
II is true that w. E. Sterne has been dig
ging around in it little, but to be a
real Boss something more is required
than mere ability to act as g0-between
for contractors and an Executive Coun.
Gil.
Now, the first part of Boss Leland's
plan is to put Maj. Tom Anderson into
the State Senate; this was fixed up at
Horton. II this Boss scheme carries

~ ANGLO-ARAEhkCANl lNMVIVABLEH
The United States has only lately be-
gun to think Of the possibilities Of ex-
erting an influence on the older hemis-
phere. We have been busy looking after
internal development, until but few
months ago watching the affairs Of Eu-
rope and Asia only as an outsider. Even
now not many Of US think deeply over
the problems that the war is bringing.
Most Of us favor, rather vaguely, the
policy OF territorial expansion, and in
the West we are generally opposed to an
alliance with Great Britain through fear
Of sinking deeper into the mire of COM
mercialism. We are fully awake, how
ever, to the fact that we have stepped
outside our usual path to engage in q
new work certain to have a most DOW
erful influence ON the progress of the
world. What to do with the Philippines
has been an absorbing question, but the
discussion has been limited almost en-
tirely to our own interests; we have not
as yet taken very comprehensive view

That destiny which opened our eyes by

PEELED our feet to steam into Manila har-
Dor seems to be guiding us to a share
in the settlement of the far Eastern
questions, A group of nations stands
anxious to make some disposal of China,
and the power that Is inclined to make
the fairest settlement Of the unavoidable
Chinese question is unable alone to cope
with the others. But that nation and the
United States together can control the
peace of the world and set the mark of
Anglo-Saxon progress over oriental bar

The big dailies may poke fun at Gov
ernor Leedy's blunt ways and insinuate
that he is not a polished rhetorician but
in doing so they are not gaining any
votes for their side. Governor Leedy is

Plans have been prepared by compe-
tent architects and estimates have been
made which establish the feasibility and
extreme practicability of the establish

nothing visionary about the plan. An

can be obtained.

in mastering some of the world-prob-
lens OF the day, and II 1t lies with us to
lead a large part OF the world to a
higher civilization does any one think
that it is in the United States to hesl-
tate? It is not much Of an excuse to
urge that the proposed alliance between
the United States and Great Britain is
planned by cunning financiers as a
means of binding the shackles Of COM
mercialism more firmly on the people
of the two countries. Such union al
ready exists to their satisfaction, and
their control of the money of the coun-
tries would not be any more absolute
through the alliance. The suggested
union would do its work In bettering the
world, not in enslaVing further the peo-
pie directly concerned therein. Even the
most strenuous advocate Of the princi-
pies of cooperation will acknowledge
that the establishment Of the brother
hood of man on earth will be brought
nearer by the lifting up Of many nations
by the two countries which stand for the
most advanced development, and may
we not believe that a forward step OF
this sort is to be taken in an Anglo
American alliance?
Our English cousins, more schooled in
graphing with world-questions, have
been quick to see this manifestation OF
destiny as the expressions of good will
and encouragement they have sent us
show since the commencement Of the
Spanish war. They have grasped the
situation; indeed, some Of their writer's
and public men anticipated by several
years the declaration Of Joseph Cham
berlain, and one Of them even asserted
that the United States would in time
become the leader OF league cOmpris-
ing all the English-speaking race. AL
though 1t was only last year that an
English woman asked IL it were not In
Kansas that widows were burned on fu-
neral pyres, there is really less misun-
derstanding between the British and
Americans than is generally imagined.
They have many things in commOn-as
much so as Great Britain and Canada,
in fact. 1t is natural on our side that we
should not at first catch the full mean
ing of an alliance with our parent nation.
The Quickness with which the average
American gets his common sense into
action will no doubt enable us as a ma
tion to take in the course outlined for
us in the march toward the federation
of the world.
For can we, in the light Of recent
events, believe otherwise than that such
a course has been outlined for us by the
Overseer Of the universe? 1t is apparent
enough that the Lord is on our side in
the present war, and it is not at all un-
reasonable to think that we are past the
stage of self-sufficiency and are able and
ready to take time from our own plot
Of ground in order to clean up and
straighten out few Of the back alleys
of the world.

Sending out the New Bonds

Washington, August 3.-Assistant
Secretary Vanderlip is now sending to
subscribers about 5000 bonds a day and
this number will be increased later on.
Recently notices Of a1lotments have
been sent to a number of people, who
had subscribed and forwarded the re-
quired cash, put who now deny all
knowledge of the transaction. The in
dications are that their names had
been used by interested parties without
authority, with a view to getting pos
session of the bonds in violation Of the
spirit Of the law. These cases are I'M
der investigation. There are also a
large number under suspicion from 9TH
er fuses aggregating in amount sew
eral millions, so that it will be impos-
sible to state the maximum amount
which eventually will be allotted until
all these cases are decided. The indi-
cations, however, are that the amount
will fall between $4,44O and IS, 900.

New York, August 3.-Maycr Van
Wyke, VINO has been summering at
Freeport, L. l., today distinguished
himself as a life saver by rescuing
three young ome from drowning.
The rescued were: Miss Jennie
Iowdnes, daughter OF Rev. Arthur
Lowdnes, Of this city; Miss Clara
Pritz, and Miss Eliza Heinsheimer,
both of Cincinnati. The three young
women went in bathing. Miscalculat
ing the depth of water on ccoun OF
the tide, Miss Lowdnes, the only one
Of the trio that could swim, go out
over her depth and could not get back
to the beach. The other young women
although they could not swim, started
to her rescue. They were instantly be-
yond their depth. The cri IS of the
struggling young women attracted the
attention Of Mayor Van Wyck, who
was sitting on the porch of his hoteI
and he Immediately threw off his coa
n ran to h rescue. Cnaided, he
brought the three to the beach. They
were all unconscious. The mayor ther
gave riders to the excited spectators
to procure barrels. Three were brought
and each of the unconscious girls was
placed over a barrel at the direction
of the mayor and rolled until revived
Miss Lowdnes and Miss Heinsheimel
regained consciousness in a few min.

night. He had been in bad health for
some time and his death was not un-
expected.
No man in Robson county was more
beloved by all of it's people. He has

represented it in the house Of repre-
sentatives and senate. He was presi-
Dental elector and served the Sixth

He was an elder in the Presbyterian
church and served in many prominent
positions in the church tribunals.
Besides his political services, he has
been for a long time n of the most
prominent lawyers of the county.
1t may be we'll said of him that he
was in all respects a man. In every

Russia HOarding Gold

Financiers want to know why Rus
STA is accumulat ng such an immense
store of gold, and certainly the ques-
ton is not without interest to the
politician. A huge gold reserve i'm
plies that a great war will not lack
the necessary sinews. Why should
Russia, who already possesses a larger
stock of gold than any other govern
ment, keep on adding to her store of
the precious coin? 1t is two years
since she began her accommodations,
and apparently she has no intention
of stopping them, for the latest arrival
of gold from the Cape has been Who'll
ly purchased for Russian account.
Yet, with a stock on hand already
reckoned at 9120, 000, 900, the need for
this purchase is not very apparent.
A significant feature of the case is
that whenever notice is called to
these Russian gold purchases they
cease for a while, only to be resumed
as soon as publication attention is
turned another way.

I gave it such remedies as are usually

gave relief, we sent for a physician
and it was under his care for a week.
At this time the child had been sick

were convinced that unless it soon OBJ
tanned relief it would not live. Cham
