THE failure of the populistsand dem
ocrats of the Sixth district to unite on
candidate for Congress is an nnfortu-
nate occurrence. Yet 1t is not per-
haps more than might be expected
The democrats of that district are u
motely lot, and two years ago by a
straight ticket caused the election Of
"poor old Bill Reader" Of whom every
body in Kansas Is ashamed. With any
sort Of proper management he wonld
be mighty easy game, But 1t is a long
while yet before the campaign closes
and we hope for an amcia6le adjust
ment In the meanwhile. Thisunfortu-
nate ending Of the convention In the
SIKH will not we hope have any elect
on The convention soon to Oe held in
the Seventh at Great Bend We do
not fear any such outcome here, Mr.
Duval IS the only democratic candidate
that will figure prominently before the
convention in our opinion, and we
know he will not permit his candidacy
to be the cause of discord and defeat,
We believe 1t will result in harmony
aud success.

IT APPEARS as II the present war In
South Africa had brought out all the
mean and disgusting traits ofehe Eng
lish national charachter, Her govern
ment of the colonies or dependencies Is
plainly based upon the principles Of
"all the traffic will BEAR or "all the
people will endure" When they are
strong enough they may eXtort from
her q liberal government amounting In
reality to independence, when not,
they are governed from London.
When she has the powe. and no other
intanglement she Is rs tyrannicaI as any
nation ever was, When pressed hard
and in tight straits, she will fawn and
natter and slobber oyer those she has
prosecuted and oppressed and when
the use of their allegiance and assis-
tance Is over will return to her old at
tltude, The recent palaverng over
st. Patrick's day, naming new horn

The Topeka State formal Is author
ity for the statment that the national

not surpassed by the alteration Of any

susPENpINo THE CONSTITUTION

SUSPENDlNG THE CONSTITUTION
II by merely stating in any resolu-
tion or law passed by Congress that
"the constitution does not apply to
this what assurance have the
people that the laws thus enacted
will not be to their detrimen'Y Yet
that is what our national lawmakers
propose to do The Bevardge amend
ment to the Porto Rcan tariff bill de-
clares that II shall not be Construed as
extending the constitution over the is
land, land II il hereby declared that
the constitution ofAbe United States
is not extended over Porto Rico"
This would be amusing were 1t not
fraught with so much danger to our
institutions. The idea that Congress,
the creature Of the constitution can ex'
tend or limit the constitution, Is alb
surd, Suppose the Beverdge idea
should prevail ard the supreme court
should declare some pet law to he un-
constitutional, and that would be
for Congress to reenact the law and de-
clare that constitution does not apply
to this" When the time comes that
the constitution Of the United States
may be suspended by congressional
enactment 1t will be time for the
formation of another kind Of govern

FROM present indications the repub-
licans will seat Mat Quay, notwith-
standing II has been the precedent es'
tahlished for many years that where "a
vacancy occurs In the Senate because
of a deadlock and failure to elect, a
senator appointed by the governor will
not be seated. But what makes 1t the
worse in Quays case is that the dead
lock which prevented Quay's election
was accompanied by charges Of gross
est bribery and corruption. But with
a party that maintains a man at the
head Of its organization who himself
was found guilty of bribing his way to
the UnitedaStates Senate by commit
tee of the legislature. 1t is not perhaps
surprising that they destroy senatorial
rules and presidents to seat an ex-
chairman Of their national committee
under similar conditions and circum-
stances. We are not familiar enough
with republican party ethics to deter
mine whether man must lrove his
skill in handhnga wallet by buying u
seat Tin the Senate before he can be
elected chairman of their national
committee, or whether as chairman Of
the national committee man becomes
80 practiced in the distribution Of the
slush fund that he cannot resist the
temptation to exert he prOwess on

retreat Further they have declared
that the new island possessions are

therefore now in order for them to ex-
plain that when General Miles prom
sed the Porto Ricans the benefits of
our liberal institutions, and when
their orators declared how our grand
charter of liberties should be extended
to all the peoples of the seas, they
didn't mean to so quite that far, but
that our subjects who reslds in these
lands might be permitted from the
mountain tops Of their island wilder
ness to look over into the glories and
beauties Of the promised land, like
Moses of old. Then they could ex-
plain that they are following the pre-
cedent of Jehova himself, of whom
they seem to claim to be vice.regent.

Read and Respect It.

Boldness, honesty and intelligence are
the qualities which. combined with an
understanding of what the people want
to know about, are essential to- the men
who edit newspaper which the people
not only read but respect. The Chicago
Times Herald has these qualities shown
in its columns every day. The result is
that its circulation is increasing at a
rapid rate, and that the men and women
who read it are proud to say that they
have it in their homes.
