Populist primary election in Hope.
But what a change from few years

The South's Prob lem.

Lynch law has become SO rampant
in Georgia that the evil has assumed
the proportions Of an epidemic Of
crime against crime. Governor Cand-
Ter has felt impelled by the serious
ness Of the situation to appeal to the
citizens Of the state to unite for the
suppression Of mob violence. carson
and burglary and assassination and
robbery and rape must STOP" be
says, land at the same time lynch
law must stop. The good OF both
races and the fair name Of the state
demand this. We must do away with
the mob. We must restore the altar
Of reason and tear down the altar that
passion has erected"
Such impassioned language is an
admission from the highest authority
In the state that the heinous offenses
against white women in the south
can not be prevented by the subver'
sion Of law and the triumph Of the
mob. Time was down south, and the
practice Is far from extinct yet, when
a considerable element Of the white
race winked at the lynching Of ne
groes supposedly guilty Of diabolica
crimes. 1t is not impossible Of belle
that there were many open advocates
Of the practice.
The country will welcome signs o
reformation in Georgia.

SWatting the Gold Standard

About three months ago the En-
poria Republican announced that
with the aid OF Providence and an elm
club, its genial and talented editor
would "burst the gold standard"
The Emporia Gazette tells how he
did it: Saturday afternoon, the gen
ial and talented editor Of the Repub-
lican stood up in the Republican
county convention and tried with all
his might and main to defeat the
passage Of resolution, explicitly and
in SO many words endorsing the pres
ent gold standard. After a vigorous
battle, the gold standard resolution
was passed with only one vote against
|it-that of the genial and talented
editor above named and aforesaid.
Under the circumstances, any fur.

talents as a "buster" would be inhu-

Christian Sciences Weakness.

A purported Christian Science cure
story is going the rounds Of the Kan
sas press, probably wholly apocry-
phal. The fashion Of Christian
Science is getting some solid investi'
CATION these days and is not coming
out Of it well. w. A. burlington,
who contributed to the March num-
Der Of the North American Review
an article on "Christian Science and
Its Legal Aspects" which attracted
much attention, pursues the subject
in the August number Of the Review
in a paper which he entities "The
Case Against Christian Science" In
making out his case, Mr.. burlington
has gone the writings of Mrs. Eddy
and taken extracts from them, which
he spreads out upon the page for the
purpose Of comparison or comment
Mr.. burlington assumes "that can
did, intelligent persons, interested in
Mrs Eddy's teachings and alleged
marvellous cures, are willing to learn
the truth and try the teacher upon
her utterances in the forum Of COM
mon sense" In endeavoring to ac-
count for the vogue Of Christian
Science, Mr.. burlington says:
"Why is it then that Christian
Science is credited with these mar
vellous cures, il its foremost professors
cannot bring forward any better
proofs Of them than are afforded by
certificates no better in manner and
degree than those accompanying every
ouack nostrum that is advertised
The explanation is simple. In per.
haps the majority Of cases to which
physicians are called, nothing more
is needed than regimen and the men,
| tai stimulus that comes to the patient
with knowledge that he is under skill
ed care. II physician falls i'll, he
calls another to attend him, chiefly
for the sake Of this mental stimulus
and to eliminate the personal factor.
Drugs and surgical appliances may be
needed in only small proportion Of
cases; but, like a revolver in Texas,
they are needed greatly when the oc-
cssion arises. Many diseases are
self limited, many are feigned, or due
to a fixed idea which may operate
even in surgery, as when a patient,
under the erroneous impression that
his leg is broken, unconsciously in
hibits muscular action and is unable
to put foot to ground, until dispos-
sessed Of the inhibitory idea by me-
chanical devices or any method, even
Christian Science, changing the
mental attitude. In all such cases,
whatever removes the mental tension
may be beneficial. Many patients
would get we'll without any attend
aace at ALL"

That "Extravagancs".

One Of the statements Of the Popu-
list platform is that the present state
administration has by its extrava'
gance caused the State to 60 5000, OW
In debt. Let's see. The last Kansas
legislature authorized the expendi'
ture Of about 100000 for new build
ings at the various educational and
charitable institutions. There were
also about 100000 Of Populist defici'
ences to be paid of out OF the new
levy OF taxes. This explains why
the last legislature provided for
more money than the former. The
Populists proceeding upon q false
system Of economy made no repairs
at any Of the state institutions and
did not even raise enough to pay
within 100000, all the expenditures
which should have been met under
Mr.. Leedy's administration. They. left
not only an Inheritance Of debt but
an immediate necessity Of new build
ings to meet the growth Of our insti-
tutlons. The Legislature did not
deem it wise to make any grand stand
play at economy to the detriment Of
the State, and provided for these nee
essary sums. Is it to be understood
that the Populists Of Dickinson coun'
ty prefer to let old debts go unpaid
and the state institutions unfinished
