The appointment ofChurc

The appointment ofChurch
to succeed Insurance Commits
sioner Webb McNall is not
satisfactory with a majority
of republicans, to say nothing
OF all the people of the state.
It is conceded that Church is
a cheap politician with no
ability, backbone or fitness
for the position. He was fort
innate in standing in with Le-
land and got the place over
Stanley's protest. Mr.. Church

Poor old Kansas! She has fallen

and the calamity walls of the Populists
are as gentle Zephers to a bowling

bound to spring new 'ismn on the

Will not hesitate to ask that an ASYLUM
be built that he may take charge of it.
And he will declare that there are
enough insane people in his ''deestrick"
to hill the asylum. The republicans
want to abolish the prohibitory law.
and yet they desire to be known as
temperance men. The last gag in favor
OF the whiskey movement is original If
nothing else. Republicans all over the
state are declaring that the alarming
increase of insanity in the state is due
to the poor quality of whisky which is
being shipped there, and drank by her
guileless citizens. They say that Kan
sans don't know good whisky from pep.
per sauce and tobacco juice, and wicked
Mlssourians take advantage of this ig-
norance, and sell the poor suckers a
vile compound at fancy prices. They
say the only way to overcome this evil
is to manufacture their own whisky

Brann is dead but his soul marches tri-
umphantly on:
Il can understand every crime in the
calendar put the crime of greed, every
lust of the flesh but the lust for gam,
every sin that ever damned a soul but
the sin of selfishness. BY all the sacred
bugs and beasts of Egypt, I'd rather be
witch's Gator even politlcian-and
howl in sympathy with my tribe, I'd
rather be tramp and divide my hand
outs with one more hungry; I'd rather
be NANCY dog without master and
keep company of my kind, than to be a
multi millionaire, with the blood of a
snake, the heart of a beast, and carry
my soul, like Pedro Garcia, in my purse.

innocent children in Chicago, without
rags to shield their nakedness

thousand innocents, such as Christ
blessed, who die every year of the world
for the lack of food, of the millions ev-

LEwELLING is a very fine

THE INDEX last week remarked
about the activity Of the reform move
ment in the east and the lethargy at
tending it in the west where it was
first strong and prolific. 1t is dis
ease, friends, and has not yet run its
course in the districts exposed latest.
Another thing about the disease is
that a community or state that has
once had the disease and recovered
from it is immune until new crop of
voters is grown. This makes their
visits from eighteen to twenty one
years apart. Hence Kansas can be
counted as almost sure to be politically
healthy until 1914, and even then she
may escape though it is almost certain
that some cranky theory or set Of theo-
ries will be abroad in the laud under
the name of reform" the good of
humanity" Or some other misnomer.-
Cresset.
When John Brown was hung, history
tells us that there were many editors
who talked of the passing Of aboli,
ton just like Axline does of the "pas-
sing" of Populism. Yet when the peo-
pie had become fully versed on the in
EQUITIES Of slavery they were ready to
shed their blood In the cause for the
| advocacy of which old John Brown was
legally murdered. 1t may be disease,
and possibly is; but the sooner the en-
tire body polite becomes inoculated by
on every human being in existence
the sooner Will mankind escape from
the bondage of the Sovereignty of
Wealth. We quite agree with the
Cresset, that reforms are always, at
any rate nearly always, Instituted by
the younger class Of voters who have
the greater part of their lives before
them and who must necessarily study
social and political problems. The old
fossils who are worrying along under
the, Shiny garb of prejudice and who
allow the politicians to do their think
ing, can not be relied upon for intelli-
gent and patriotic suffrage. But re.
from is coming, and it is coming rap
idly. And it Will be here. before 1914
too. 1t is true that some of the re.
formers of the west have been discour.
aged but we note with satisfaction
that they are bracing up and are again
into line to battle with renewed energy
