THAT NEW PARTY.

One new national party was launched
in Topeka this week and another germ
mated. Kansas matches political parties
as naturally as a hen breeds chicks and
a new party more or less does not ruff
fle the political sea to any great extent
like it would have several years ago.
The Home Rule or "all reform party
is the natural outgrowth of the agitation
that has gone on here all winter and
been ignored by the old parties. The
surprise would have been if things had
gone along much further and the party
had not been organized. The Home
Rulers will have a great time reform
ing everything, but every man with
either a grievance or a funny bone will
give his best wishes to the success of
one, at least, of their planks. The rest
plank is something that will appeal to
the notice of the most blinded partisan.
There is no one but viii support
movement for one days rest a week
The only regret possible to the sug-
gestion of this plank is that it cannot be
expanded to meet the views of those
who believe that work is a bad habit
and yet have so little fear of it that
they could without compunction lie down
beside it and snore away till the cows
come home. This constituency is so nu-
IneIOuH lndl Liz CllduNGS VI SASNOs72 80
the Home Rule party are slim until they
amend this plank 50 as to make 1t six
days of rest and one Of work. The old
parties would be left in a hopeless mi
nority then The public is indebted for
this promising party to several old
friends. The chief officer was leader Of
the big embarrassing at Centerville,
Ia, where nine saloons We're smashed
and as many people hurt. Second in
command comes a reformer who went
through such trying experiences as hav-
ing his church wrecked, his buggy torn
to pieces from under him and his barn
dynamited for his determination in tell
ing people that he knows what is right
and that things must be revolutionized
to suit the reformers. Then as second
vice president comes the woman around
whose meteoric career the party is
really built by those who have emulated
her example and bask in the reflection
of her glory.
This is the Home Rule party and its
missions are many. 1t will serve a very
useful end if it secures the adoption of
the rest plank by state or national
government. Some one Of the older par
ties may steal the plank that is SO bris-
ting with promise and nail it down on
a successful platform. Perhaps nothing
better could be wished for and the Home
Rulers would get the credit.
