RAIDING JOINTS.
Police Make Round Up This After
noon.

The temperance people have been
particularly active lately and as a. re-
suit the police rounded up a few joint
lists this afternoon.
A week ago the members of the
temperance organizations employed a
man to secure evidence against the
liquor sellers. The jointists have lately
changed places and new bartenders
have been employed in hopes of making
arrest more difficult. The warrants
served charged the men with selling
liquor and the charge of maintaining a
place where liquor is sold was not
made against them. The bars and joint
fixtures were confiscated.
Chief Ramsey raided the Milwaukee
restaurant. The proprietor, Durein, was
on the street. When the chief entered
the joint he was surprised to find a bar
maid behind the bar serving beer to a
half dozen thirsty customers. She
escaped through the back door and as
he had no warrant for her he did not
pursue her. The following were arrested
and the joint fixtures confiscated:
Frank Murphy and W. B. Smith, Ill
East Sixth street.
Fritz Durein and his bartender, Paul

not the publisher be compelled to adj

One may ask if the publisher would
not stand this loss, and the question
would be a fair one. But the answer is
plain. Simply because the publisher is
now selling his product at the actual
cost of white paper, ink and delivery,
and therefore he would be compelled to
advance the price Of his publication
with the advanced cost of white print,
or submit to an actual loss of Nthat
amount-and such a course would not

We therefore say that it becomes the
duty of every newspaper in the land to
unite in demanding the repeal of the
tariff on wool-pulp," in order that the
public may continue to read newspa-

of our country in public education.

REPFAL THE TAx.

LFrom the Seattle Times.l
There exists today upon the statute
books Of the United States a tariff-tax
of one and one-tenth cents per pound
on wood-pulp used in the manufacture
of white paper" as newspaper print
is commonly called.
As such paper is made almost entire
ly Of wood pulp-a very small percent
age of sulphite being added-and as the
price at the mills for such paper when
manufactured is about two and a half
cents pound, it follows that the tariff
amounts to nearly 40 per cent of the en-
tire charge.
The object, of course. of such a tar

If it We're not for this tariff-tax of 40

We therefore believe that the con-

about twenty thousand publishers of

BUSH HERE TO PLEAD.
Ex- Secretary Wants Breidenthal tc
Stay in Race for Governor

Mr. W. E. Bush, ex-secretary of state
and now editor of the Fort Scott Ian
tern, came to Topeka at noon today.
While Mr.. Bush will not directly adj
nit it, he is here to urge Bank Com
missioner Breidenthal to decide to be-
come a candidate for governor.
This move on the part of Mr.. Bush
is in line with the action of Jerry Simp-
son. Simpson begged Breidenthal to
hold up his letter of withdrawal as a
gubernatorial possibility until he could
attempt to remove the difficulties which
Breidenthal was fearful might beset
his path as a candidate for governor.
Bush now proposes to join Simpson in
the missionary effort.
The ex-secretary of state has been a
warm personal friend of the bank COM
missioner for several years, and prob
ably has as much influence with him
as any man in the state. Bush be-
lieves firmly that Breidenthal should
enter the race for the good of the flu
sion party in Kansas.
Il think John is entirely honest in his
statement that he does not want the
job" said Mr.. Bush today. He could
have had the nomination in 1896 if he
had wanted it, and there is no doubt
that he can have it now if he will enter
the race. While there are other men il
the party who would probably give the
state just as good an administration as
Breidenthal, there is no man in the state
who could poll the vote he could. The
corn huslxing element of the party is
for him and the business element of the
party is for him as well. Many of the
old time Populists, who stayed at home
two years ago simply because John
Leedy was at the head of the ticket
would get out next fall with their coats
off and work until they dropped for
John Breidenthal Breidenthal would
also draw business men of the state,
irrespective of party, who believe in his
business ability to the support of the
ticket. I believe he should throw per-
sonal feelings to one side and enter the
race for governor for the good of the
party"
Mr.. Bush expects to return to Fort
Scott tonight.

cans of congress are as yet without a
definite policy as to the territorial pos
sessions of the country. This is not
true of the Democrats Following Mr.
Bryan'S visit here the Democratic SEN
ators held a series of conferences and
have practically agreed upon support OF
the Bacon resolution, which may be de-
ScFibed as an assertion OF American
title to the Philippines but of our in
tention to pacify the islands and give
them ultimate independence under an
American protectorate- This is be-
lieved to meet Mr.. Bryan'S idea of ex-
pansion without imperialism. The
Democrats are feeling very good over
having arrived at something like an
arrangement Though they are not
unaninous), and their satisfaction is
strengthened by knowledge that the
Republicans have so far been unable to
formulate definite policy.
Judging from the temper of the Re
publieanS of the senate at the present
the Republican party in congress this
winter is passage of the Spooner bill
placing control of the Philippines in
the hands of the executive, and nothing
beyond this.
The reaction among the Republicans
as to Puerto Rico has developed very
strongly during the last thirty-six
hours Until Just now it has been gem
orally supposed the presidents procla-
nation of free trade with Puerto Rico
and the plan to make the island sort
of territory in accordance with Secre-
tary Roots suggestions, would go
through congress, but grave doubts as
to the success of this policy now exist.
Many Republican senators say they
will not vote to bring Puerto Rico
within the tariff walls. and will not
vote to create territory of the island
and thus make a million of ignorant in
habitsnts citizens of he United States
on the way to statehood. There is a
strong movement in congress toward
levying a small tariff upon imports
from Puerto Rico with a view to hav-
ing the question of the constitution
atty of such tariff brought before the
Sunreme court
