Ths Repu blican caucuses for the selec-
tion of candidates for aldermen and ooun-
oilInen and delegates TO choose oandi-
dats for mayor are called for this after.
noon and evening. The outcome of these
cauouses will have very important bear
ing on the election which will take place
a week from next Monday. 1t was
never mora important than this year that
men should bs selected for members OF
the city government who ars competent
and fit to transact city business. There is
a general feeling that this spring the Re-
Dublicans will have to fight harder than
usual for victory, and that they can less
afford any hsndinaps in the shape OF bad
candidates-that is to say, candidates
about whose fitness there may be doubt.
The Republican party is strong enough
to carry this city by large majority
provided It's whole vote is thrown for the
Republican ticket. But party ties set
lightly in munioipal elections, and there
are plenty of Repu blicans who win not
support a man whom they regard OF ques,
tionabls fitness simply because his name
is on the regular ticket. A clean and
abls ticket Will assure a Republican con-
troll of the city government next year. A
few candidates OF questio nable illness
may put 1t In jeopardy.

by enforcing punishments to restrain
those elements, they Will surely, sooner or
later. take matters into their own hands
and enforce the penalties that the state
mas neglected. Punishment fer the
bad Is quite as necessary rs protection for

community. Mrs. Carrie Nation is the
product OF neglect on Ehs part OF the state
to enforce its own laws, to protect society
from the evils it has promised to guard
them against. The state OF Kansas can
not escape large part OF the responsi-
bility for her recent operations In Its

The saloon was long ago outlawed in
Kansas. yet in the populous towns oil
the state there has always been plenty OF
places where liquor could be bought, not
obscure places that might escape the OBJ
servation OF the officials, but places on
public thoroughfares in plain view OF
the passer by, as well known as far as
their existence is concerned as the dry
goods stores or grocery shops. Apparent
ly about the same condition has existed
there as has existed here up to very
recent period. The officers of the law
whose business 1t was to suppress these
places have either utterly ignored their
duty or performed 1t in half-hearEed,
Ineffective way. The exhibition day
after day, month after month and year
after year. Of men continually violating
the law openly and defantly, without
suffering any punishment, has had this
natural and inevitable effect which such
exhibitions must have. II one law can
be broken with immunity continually,
why may not other laws? If the State
will not punish lawbreRkers, why may
not the individual take the matter into
his own hands and punish them In
way he deems proper. II the State will
not rid city OF something IL has de-
olared to be an evil, why may not the
individual proosed in his own way to de-
stroy the evili While the State declares
that no man shall be deprived OF his life,
