David Overmyer has had an attack
OF letter writing mania He has re-
Gently become very much aggitated
over the work of q &. Brown, the
distinguished and energetic young
man who is attempting to vital re the
Democratic party of Kansas by secur-
ing an organization of working young
Democrats. Overmyer has come to re-
gard himself as the owner of the
Democratic party In Kansas, and he
very much resents the effort Of Mr..
Brown or anyone else to form any
Democratic organization which has
not the 0vermyer brand on it. His
four column letter which appeared in
the Kansas City Times recently shows
that Overmyer has lost his temper
1t is full of the most ordinary per.
sonal abuse and coarse vitu peration.
Nevertheless, Mr. Browns effort to
organize the young Democrats of Kan
sas for the purpose OF placing the
Democracy Of the state in creditable
condition will 60 on and bear fruit
Oyerlnyer was never leader in the
true sense OF the word. He has al.
ways attempted to use the Democratic
party for his own personal ends.
Sometimes he has succeeded but oft.
ener he has failed. For several years
the Democratic party mas been ready
to depose Overmyer as self-consti'
tuted leader Il Z Brown will be
the doom Of Overmyer, and may be
the means Of placing the Democratic
party in the state in creditable
light as u political organization.

The Populist papers are trying very
hard to make point against the pres
cnt administration beca Use w, II H,
Young, who was appointed superin.
tendent Of the Soldiers Orphans
Home, was compelled to resign 1t is
true Mr. Young wa. not a satisfactory
officer, and did not meet the expecta-
tions Of the board of charities, In
stead however, Of allowing an officer
to remain in position for which he
was not fitted, the board promptly
asked for Mr.. Youngs resignation.
This course was in striking contrast
to that pursued by the Populist ad-
ministration. The Leedy administra-
ton never removed a poor officer.
When 1t was proven beyond question
that Horace Greeley Jumper, Iron
Jaw" Brown, Frank Shane and other
members of the Populist administra.
ton were disgracing the public ser
vice and turning the institutions of
the state into places of scandal, no
attempt whatever was made to cut
short their career The present adj
made a mistake of judg'
ment in the selection Of Young, but
it promptly rectfied it by removing
him and putting in another man.
