A bill has been introduced in the
Kansas legislature defining a CRATER
and providing punishment for the
species. A "grafter" is defined to be
any person who loafs around legis-
lative halls seeking employment by
persons or corporations interested in
measures pending before the legisla.
ture, and any member of the legisla-
ture who introduces bills of prohib-
itory character for the purpose of ex-
torting money, and who assists out
side ''grafters' in securing employ
nent for intended victims. Any
person convicted of being ''grafter''
shall be fined from $40 to $4,000 and
be disqualified from holding any
office. The Oregon penitentiary
would be fuller than it is if such a
law existed In Oregon and it was en-
forced.

THE VESTS GLORIOUS RECORD

The west did the fighting in the
war with Spain, and the west Is bear
ing the brunt of the engagement with
the FIlipinos. The fighting at San
tiago was dore by the regulars and
Roosevelt's Rough Riders. With few
exceptions the regiments In the regu-
Lar army were recruited west of the
Mississippi river, and largely in the
Rocky mountain and Pacific slope re-
gions. They were made up of hardy
and daring men who had developed
pluck and self-reliance from the free
life of the plains and mountains; men
who were accustomed from boyhood
to the use of arms and the hardsh;ps
and makeshifts of camp life. Men Of
this stamp are at home wherever fate
may cast them. They are hard fight
ers-the best soldiers on earth.
In the fighting at Santiago the east
ern volunteers were disappointing.
They had not experienced the rough
knocks which western men exper-
ience, and the time between their en-
listment and their call to active SER
vice was too short to harden them to
the privatlons and danger of the
camp and field of battle.
1t is different with the volunteers
at Manila. These gallant boys were
gathered from western plains and
mountains, and they have had the
advantage of longer drilling and dis
cipline. Practically they are as self
reliant, cool and daring as the
soldiers of the regular army. Gen
eral Otis cables that they "are en-
thusiastic and fighting fearlessly; p
and again, "the troops have conduct
ed themselves with great heroism. -
The Manila correspondent of the
London Post cabled that "the dis
cIpline of the Americans was fine; -
and all reports agree that our heroic
western boys, end particularly the
soldiers from Washington, Idaho and
other Pacific coast states, have borne
themselves as superb soldiers.
This is a glorious answer to the
contem ptible slurs which some east
ern papers and speakers have leveled
at western states and people. 1t is
especially gratifying to the citizens
of Washington that their regiment of
volunteers has acquitted itself with
distinguished courage and superb
discipline, because it was most un-
justly put under an official cloud dur
ing the war with Spain, and when
protests were made against unfair
discrimination. the offensive reply
was made that the Washington troops
were held back from active service
because they were inferior to the east
ern volunteers.
The west has effectually silenced
its narrow and ignorant traducers.-

Father Carroll OF st. Patrick's
Church. Jersey City exercised the
priestly privilege of criticising his peo-
pie after a remarkably salutary fash
ion on Sunday. Summing up the year
in the extensive parish over which he
presldes. he finds that there were but
nfty-three marriages In the past year,
and he urged a radical reform. He ex-
pressed the fear that too many young
women "are altogether too stylish and
expect too much" of fellow who wants
to take a wife and said that he had
heard OF young folk in his parish who
have been keeping company from six
TO ten years. As the priest truly said,
this is altogether too long. AS to
whether the young women OF st. Pat
ricks parish require too much OF the
young men or the latter want TO be-
come seized and possessed of more
worldly goods than would have salts
fled their fathers before making them
selves responsible for two, with the
prospect of more, may be q question.
II is likely that the young men may at
least be as slow about Offering them
selves as the young women are about
accepting them. However, the priest
spoke a timely word, which IL Is to be
hoped. will bear fruit not only in Jer-
sey City, but elsewhere.

There is nothing slow about Tam

bers OF that organization If the Tam

is the case OF Mrs. Warnings canvas

the late George +. Waring put into

The street cleaners pushed the bags

patented and is now in use i'm many
cities. From these Mrs. Waring re-
ceives a royalty of $3.50 on each bag
but she refused royalty from New
York when her husband was I'm office.
Now that her friends have bestirred
themselves to have New York pay a
royalty TO the widow of the man who
did so much for their city. the Tam
many street cleaning commissioner pro-
poses 10 discontinue the use OF the bags
and has substituted zine cans for them
The city Of New York would, of course
lose nothing by the payment OF the
royalty, as that would fall upon the
manufacturer. But 1t is known that
the manufacturer of the Waring bags
is not Tammany man, while 1t is
hinted that the maker of the zinc cans
is rather more in sympathy with New
York's city government.
