CASE OF MR.. CAMPBELL.

l. P Campbell, the Populist candi-
date for congress in the Seventh dis.
trict, has gone home, and he has given
out reports that he was terribly mis-
used by newspaper reporters in To-
peka: that his interviews were garbled
and he was misquoted.
Mr.. Campbell may be a very worthy
gentleman, and he is an exceedingly
amiable man, but why he should try
to shift his burdens to the shoulders OF
an unofrending reporter it is difficult
to understand. Mr.. Campbell called at
the State Journal office and was pleas
aEtIr received and welcomed. In reply
to a question concerning the Seventh
district he at once delivered an Grafton
bristling with vehement eloquence and
fairly annihilated the men who had
nominated the Democratic candidate
in the Seventh district
Mr.. Campbell was not misquoted, and
there would have been no motive in
imputing to him sentiments which he
did not utter. He may have come to
the State Journal office to make
friendly can, but his ready and positive
utterances, when requested for state
ment concerning the Fusion situation
in the Seventh district, indicates that
he knew what he was going to say long
before and that the real purpose OF his
visit was to give out the interview
printed that day.
The State Journal does not know that
Mr.. Campbell intended to give out
statement which would make the settle
ment of the Fusion muddle in the Sew
enth district nearly impossible, and 1t
cannot tell why Mr.. Campbell deliber-
ateiy gave out such an interview, and

NEGRO BOSSES IN POLITICS.

Every right minded person in Shaw
nee county deplores the political IN
fiuence of men like Nick Ch1les ana
Crook Wright who have made Shawnee
county politics the laughing stock OF the
state The influence of these men over
the negro vote in Shawnee county, espe-
cially in Topeka which controls the
county. is acknowledged by every local
politician. There is hardly a political
aspirant in this city who does not cater
to this element because they know that
to oppose it means defeat. Topeka needs
a reform movement among it's negro
politicians. Wright is at present charged
with highway robbery and by the grace
of Mr.. Jetmore his trial was postponed
till after the election and is out on bail,
while Chiles was arrested last week for
selling liquor and IT was proven yester-
day that liquor was sold in his place.
1t is known all over Kansas that there
was a joint in the basement of Chiles'
place and there is little doubt that
Chiles is the proprietor. Three different
men say they have gone into this place
and bought liquor and they have told
the officers that they were afraid to
testify against Chiles. They said
thta the gang which fire.
auents the place was dangerous. That

formed it from glfmpses of the negroes
and their conversation while in the nest
which is called club room The man
who testified in police court certainly
displayed remarkable nerve, knowing as
he must the class of people who would
be injured by his testimony. These men,
Chiles and his gang, are against the en-
forcement of any law which interferes
with their avocation. This is the class
of men who control a large portion of
the negro vote. Chiles himself is too
smart to be caught selling liquor for he
knows what it means to be in Jail.
1t is true there are many negroes in
the city who do not approve of Chiles
and his gang. but they can not deny
that more men of their color are at his
beck ana call than that of any other
man of the negro race in Topeka His
name is used to conjure with and his
fame as a great politician is on the lips
of majority of his people. The party
or politician who will use such means
as Chiles and Wright to secure an end
is little better than either of them The
best people of both races should unite in
cleaning out the politicians who cater
to this element. So potent is Chiles' in
fiuence that the attorney general of the
state has lent his aid to keep the negro
boss out of Jail after he had been con-
victed by the district court, His excuse
was that Chiles had reformed.

TRAIL OF THE PARTISAN.

In the heat of the contest between the
factions of the Republican party seek
ing recognition by the way of election
of their favorite for United States SEN
ator. jealousies arise and it is easy to
develop the system Of claiming anything
which tends to advance the interests of
the candidate.
Outside of Wyandotte county where
each faction charges the preparation of
fraud at all elections and primaries the
people of Kansas claim to have fair
elections and honest counts so the peo-
pie of the state are entitled to the truth
concerning the standing of the various
candidates. Only a few weeks ago a
partisan engaged in active work for one
of the candidates for this position
caused a newspaper to change a tele-
gram received concerning the primary
election and subsequent county conven-
tion SO as to make the result appear alb
solutely the reverse of what 1t really
was. This particular gentleman pledged
his sacred honor that his information
was correct.

SCHOOL HEATING PLANTS.

The board of education has struggled
for the past year with the question of
heating plants in the school buildings.
During the year a steam plant was
put in for the two buildings at Clay
school and proved a failure. A steam
plant for the new Branner school failed

air plant at the High school has been
finally condemned and will be rebuilt
before the coming winter. Each of the
three plants was put in by contract
after competitive bids had been called
for. The plans and specifications were
to be followed and the contractors in
each case agreed that the heating
plants would be up to requirements
The plant at the High school original
ly cost $1,000 To change the original
plans of the building so as to allow
the putting in of the plant was an ex-
pense of another $1,000 and in six years,
the time the plant has been in opera
ton, the repairs have cost 81. 600, MAX
ing total expenditure OF $4,000. and

THE SHIRT WAIST MAN.

The daily papers in the east have
started an agitation in favor of the shirt
waist man. A great deal has been heard
during the past several years about the
shirt waist girl, and she is a vision OF
comfort and loneliness, but the shirt
waist man has been unknown. He might
have been found on the farms and in ev-
cry field in Kansas, but nobody has given
him any attention and when he invaded
the city and attempted to enter hotels or
restaurants or other public places, he
was politely informed that he was not
needed unless he would procure some ad-
ditionaI clothing. But New York has
now placed it's o. K. on the shirt waist
man, and it may be taken as assured
that he will hereafter play almost as
much of a part in the fashion plates as
his sister, the shirt waist girl.

are called for. The bidders cut to the
last cent in order to get the job. 1t is
certain that in this manner money is
saved on the original price, but expert

least, shows that in the end it is the
most expensive way of doing business.

SUPPRESS THE aMAsHER.n

One of the reforms that is badly need
ed in Topeka, is the elimination of the
so-called masher. That is, the gentle
man" masher, who stands on populous
corners and ogles passing ladies and
makes a nuisance of himself generally.
There are several shining examples in
this city and they are not all confined to
the smooth faced young men.
If these parasites only knew how silly
their Sinking and rolling of eyes made
them appear in the minds of the passing
women they would turn from their voca-
ton as quickly as a rat deserts sink
ing ship.
There are many Topeka women who
staring them in the face with sinister
manner and often insulting remarks.
And so great is their objection that they
actually dread to pass certain points on
Kansas avenue where loafers and
''would-be dudes congregate. New
Orleans is a city that is far behind the
times in many respects, yet there they
have move on" ordinance that the po-
lice are compelled to respect and men
who show an inclination to make them
selves odious, find like Othello. their oc-
cupation gone. This could be emulated
in Topeka with profit.
An ordinance to prohibit men, who
have no respect for other peoples sisters
or relatives, from exhibiting insulting
manners on the street would be greeted
with cheer by the greater portion of the
city's population.
In absence of this needed legislation a
singing chastisementw with a rawhide car
ried by some young lady would earn her
the gratitude of the community.
The "masher'' should be eliminated
from Topeka street corners and public
places. He is not wanted.

HArLEss WOMAN IN CHURCH

IFron the New York WorldJ
A Hackensack minister, Rev Mr.
Holley, roundly scolded the hatless wo-
men of his congregation on Sunday
last. He sternly quoted st. Paul's in
junction against women appearing in
churches with bare heads. II beg our
women members he said. ito heed the
gospel as st. Paul has written it," Here
of course, the pastors tongue slipped,
for none of the gospels are written by
ST. Paul.
While the apostles ideas of the cor
rect thing in head-dress for women
were doubtless suited to the people to
whom he addressed them, his authority
on millinery and costumes for the
American woman of A. d. 1900 is dis
tinctly subject to 1.-The higher criti-
cism." The Hackensack pastor is surely
treading on delicate and doubtful
ground. 1t is not in fact unlikely that
if he reversed his position altogether
and urged women to attend church not
only without hats but also with the
plainest end least costly of gowns and
other wearing apparel, he would take
