JUDGE DOSTER CHOSEN
Chief Justice Will Preside at
Twentieth Kansas Reception.

The subcommittee appointed last
night to select a master of ceremonies
for the exercises Immediately succeed
ing the parade on the day of the Twen-
tieth Kansas reception. have selected
Chief Justice Doster for that place. The
subcommittee is composed of General
Hudson, ,ex-Lieutenant Governor Trout
man and Major T. J. Anderson.
Judge Doster was chosen" said
General Hudson this afternoon, be
cause as chief justice he is the highest
judicial officer in the state, and this is
a state affair. Then, too, his selection
is considered very fitting as he is an
ex-soldier himself, and he has a son,
Major Chase Doster, who is now in the
Philippines
Judge Doster will preside over the
ceremonies which will take place in the
reviewing stand on the south steps OF
the state house after the Twentieth
Kansas has been drawn up in line
there. The ceremonies will consist OF

Joplin Herald: 1t may not be gen
orally known outside of Kansas, but
ex-Gov. John W. Leedy who is now
temporarily a resident of Joplin, orga-
nfzed the Twentieth Kansas regiment
which has made such a heroic record.
When the governor made his first call
for troops, the militia companies offer
ed their services. The governor said
that as many of them were very young
men and some of them did not want
20 go to the tropics, he would disorga-
nize all the militia companies and al
low them to enlist individually as well
as give other patriotic men chance.
This stirred up a storm of criticism all
over the state, particularly among the
officers of the militia who were thus
displaced. Gov Leedy went ahead and
organized the new regiment, appointing
Col. Funston, a ~.epublican and a party
opponent of his, as colonel In this
the governor showed that so far as the
war was concerned, he was non-par-
tisan- The result of the governors s
plan of organizing the Twentieth is GER
tainly a vindication for him. Gov.
Leedy has reason to be proud of his
regiment.

A QUESTION OF METHOD.

The question of territorial expansion
as related to the Philippine archipelago
appears to be largely one of method.
Few of the opponents of President Nc
Kinley's policy towards the islands
have advocated a total abandonment
of the territory. Many among the most
radical anti-expansionists favor the re-
tention of Manila and territory sufi-
cient for a naval station. 1t is difficult
to see how such a course could be jus
titled except on grounds which would
apply with equal force to the entire
country.
Others favor allowing the natives to
establish an Independent government
under the protection of the United
States.
If the choice were placed before the
American people of Withdrawing from
the islands and every part of them and
throwing up the whole business or re-
naming and making the best of the
situation, it seems not unlikely that
large majority would be found opposed
to running away from the situation,
however embarrassing it may be.
The question, after all, then becomes
one of method-of whether President
AcKinley's policy of dealing with the
matter is the best that can be evolved
and on that line the political campaign
of next year probably will be fought
Already col. Bryan is trying to line up
his party on this subject, by advocating
a policy toward the F'ilipinos the same
as that pursued toward the Cubans.
That the Administrations policy in
Cuba viii ultimately lead to voluntary
annexation, there is perhaps little
doubt That a similar course in the
Philippines would be productive of
similar results there is little room for
question.
Close investigation, probably. will
discover that a large majority of the
anti-expansionists are not opposed to
expansion at all but are only opposed
to the methods by which it is being
brought about in the Philippines.

The controversy in the Thirty sixth
judicial district between Charles F.

in court.
