them. The metropolitan police law was
used solely for political purposes and
Governor Leedy can't deny it. 1t was
disgraceful and scandalous- state of
affairs, which started early in Cover
nor MOrriIPs administration and grew
more and more disgraceful and scan
dalous through the administration Of
Governor Leedy. That the officers were
not doing their duty was fully demon
strated in this city by the fact that
within ten days after the suspension Of
this metropolitan police law practically
all OF the dram shops and dens of vice
in this city were cleared out.
I am not talking against Governor
Leedy, but I am talking against his
policy in allowing the law to be openly
violated. If either Mr.. Leedy or Mr..
Stanley would come out candidly and
state to the people that the prohibitory
law would be fully enforced, I think
my committee would call me off. But
I don't expect either of them to do this
Governor Leedy has shown his SenI1-
ments during the two years he has been
at the head of the state government,
and Mr.. Stanley says the prohibitory
law is not an issue. Mr.. Stanley comes
from Wichita, a place where there is
never an effort made to enforce the
prohibitory law, and that is one reason
I don't expect him to make such a
statement. Another reason is the fact
that he has written a letter a column
in length explaining his stand on this
question which absolutely explains and
says nothing. But I intend before this
campaign is over to make Mr.. Stanley
say something plain or else prove to a
great many men who are now his
friends that he is not a. fit man to De
governor Of Kansas.

INHERITED SPEED.
What an English Biologist Says About
American TrOtting Horses.

What an English Biologist Says About
American TrOtting Horses.
From the recorded race records of trot-
ting horses in the United States, running
through a period of 25 years, Professor
Francis Cation, noted English biologist,
estimates the force and value of inherited
speed and also measures the velocity of in
herited speed upon the offspring. For in
stance, suppose that one ancestor of a GER
tain horse had a record of $50 and that
another ancestor of the same degree had
one of $40, then how should we estimate
their respective influences? Should their
combined influence be the same on the
average as that of two horses having each
a record of 80 or should it be quite diff
ferent? Professor Cations conclusion is
that it is a safe rule to take the average.
Before writing his essay Professor Cation
took up the records and speed inheritance
of over s, ZOO horses with fast records, all
made from 1892 to 1896. He finds that
there records prove that speed is true in
heritance, that in great majority of cases
it can be depended upon with reasonable
certainty to reproduce itself and make
speed breeding a thoroughly scientific
achieVement

Scoring In Athletics.

George Orion, in letter from England,
says that the University of Pennsylvania
would have no trouble in defeating Oxford
and Cam bridge com bined in a series of ath-
letic contests. Every little enthusiasm,
writes Orion, "was shown in the match
between Cambridge and Oxford, although
the attendance was large. have wit
messed much more enthusiasm at Travers
island at club races than was displayed
here in championships. 1t may be undig-
nif1ed to show any emotion in frock coat
and silk hat but think that the real
cause of the subdued applause is traceable
to the manner of scoring. Firsts alone
count Oxford won the first five, and
then, as far as results we're concerned, the
match was over; also, as drsts alone
scored, as soon as q man saw that he was
beaten he either gave it up or eased down.
There was none of that keen racing for
second, third and fourth places which is
to be found at the intercollegiate meeting
in America. I think that the American
system of scoring could be adopted in Eng
land to good purpose.

TEN EYcK AND HARVARD.

''I certainly hope that there is some
truth, - says a BostOntan in the New York
Sun, ''in the report that Jim Ten Eyck
of Worcester will have an offer to coach
Harvard. For the sake of the sport such
an engagement would be desirable. Har-
ward, though, appears to be afraid of pro-
fessionalisn What indeed is there to fear
from a professionally Can any of us dis
cover where the example of Courtney has
brought either grief or sorrow to the Cor

vania ever been found wanting in cour-
tesy and good breeding? think not. Ten
Eyck might not be as polished as Rudolph
lehman, but he is just as well bred and
as we'll born Ten Eyck can trace his an
cestry back to the old Dutch settlers, and
that is good enough for most of US We
would like him no better and no less if
they came over on the Cephalonia two
weeks ago. What Harvard wants is a skill
full coach who knows rowing. Ten Eyck
fills the bill. There is not better posted
man on rowing in the world. Ten Eyck
was never a world beaten as an oarsman,
but he generally gave a good account of
himself in races where he was stacked up
against champions. In races where there
were first and second prizes he generally
managed to pull off one of them and al
ways gave those who backed him a race
for their money. He has always been
honest in his long racing career. Never
has he been concerned in a scandal. That
ought to be good enough for Harvard If
Ten Eyck is engaged-and for the sake OF

AS to Public Sentiment.

1--WE hear it said many times that
public sentiment is opposed to the pro-
hibitOry law. Suppose it is. But what
right have the officers of the law to say
anything about it? They are in power
to enforce all laws as public servants,
and that, and that alone, is what they
have a right to do.
What of public sentiment? There
comes a time in the lives of all human
beings when people have to be struck
down. You remember that in the
south thirty years ago public sentiment
dictated a separate form Of government
from that of the union. President Lin
coin called for troops to change this
public sentiment. At first 5000 troops
came, and then more came and more
came until there were nearly 5000, 900
men in the Union army, and public SEN
timent was changed, and now those
men of the south thank the Good Lord
that the change was accomplished.
Public sentiment at times must be
changed. Sometimes it must be done
roughly, but it must be done. Govern
ment can not conform with public SEN
timent. Public sentiment must accord
with the government. That is the way
God Almighty intended it and that is
the way it must be. Certain people
must be put down, certain things must
be suppressed and destroyed. The only
way to deal with the dram shop is to
follow the tactics of Admiral Dewey
and destroy it as he destroyed the
Spanish fleet at Manila.
MY purpose in this campaign is not
to elect W. A. PETER governor of Kan
sas. What I want to do is to arouse
the people. I don't care for the Office
of governor and the harassing details
connected with that office. But I want
the people to realize that we have a
prohibitOry law on our statute books,
and I want them to show their power
as a people. If they don't care to vote
for the Prohibition candidate for COVER
nor I want them to refrain from voting
for either of the other candidates. I
would rather see Mr.. Stanley or Mr..
Leedy governor of the state than to
hold that Office myself but I want the
man elected to be frightened by the
people, to feel the power of the law
abiding element so that they will re-
spect the constitution and the law and
enforce what the people have de-
manded.
A Gradual Weakening.
1.-THE enforcement of the prohibitory
law has been neglected more and more
from the time Lyman u. Humphrey
was elected governor of Kansas. He
was followed by Governor Lewelling
and the neglect advanced. Governor
Morrill, then took charge of the state
government and the enforcement of the
prohibitory law was a dismal failure
because Governor Morrill, was weak.
But worst of all has been the admins
tratiOn of Governor Leedy. Dram
shops and disreputable resorts have
Hourished under his police commission
ers, who have known all about it and
collected revenue from every one Of
