was unfortunately on the losing side
in the senatorial fight.
We were heartily in sympathy with
the move that landed Mr.. Mulvane
in the national committeeman place
because Mr. Leland had held the
place long enough for his own inter-
est and the interest of the party, but
to continue the fight on Leland and
try to crush him simply because
some of the politicians are afraid Of
him or because he is independent of
their dlctation is just the proper
course to make discord and trouble
in the party. Let Mr.. Leland alone,
he is good officer and a good Re
publican. You never hear him
whining around and belly-aching
when he don't get his way. He sim
ply saws wood and waits his turn.
A man in politics who has not the
nerve to stand up and fight for his
friends or for his personal choice
for position has not much force Of
character and will not long have a
following. And the crowd that per
slstently tries by all kinds of means
to down him will sooner or later
come to grief.

>POLITICS<

Nv UTE stigma seems to at
tach to the word politics.
" There is no more just reason
for 1t than to the word religion.
Politics is defined to be the sci
ence of government. Is it not prop
er that all men, and especially the
young men, should study the science
of our government and become in
terested in its fundamental princi-
!, Piles and its laws, that they may be
the better able intelligently to dis
charge the important duties of citi-
zenship?
1t is urged that there is so much
trickery, knavery and fraud in poll
tics that it is disgrace for young
man to enter into its study or take
any great interest in its manage
ment. We might with equal truth
say there is much fraud under the
cloak of religion and that many
join the church for power and infu-
ence only.
We freely admit that there is
much fraud practiced under the
garb of politics, but it is not nee
essary part of politics, and is only
possible because honorable, upright
men are too apt to neglect their du-
ties in this line and allow the i'm
portant trust of caring for our gov
eminent and its laws to drift into
the hands of the vicious and ire
sponsible.
The highest aim of an American
citizen, as such, should be to know
his duty to his government, both
state and national, and both cheer

CY LELAND.

1t seems the Burton crowd, since
the death of President Mckinley,
have renewed the fight on Pension
Commissioner Leland. This fight
should not be tolerated by the Re-
publicans of Kansas.
Mr.. Leland has made an except
ionally good officer and has earned
a second tenn and should not be
turned down by trumped up charg-
es, merely because he exercised his
rights as Republican and favored
Mr.. Baker for the senate. Mr.. Le-
land has always been Republican
of the earnest working type and it is
very poor policy to try to kill him
off simply because he exercised the
rights of Kansas Republican but
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1901-11-01

fully and intelligently to discharge
it. A man does not discharge the
duties of citizenship when he simply
obeys the laws of the land or quiet
ly goes to the polls and votes. An
upright, honorable man owes more
than that to his country and his
state. The evils and chicanery of
politics are worked out at the pri-
mares and caucuses. 1t is there
evil measures are hatched, and phi
ant tools of designing men put in
position to carry out the schemes
Of the bosses. No honest man has
right to deliberately neglect to at
tend the primaries of his party, and
then complain of the corruption of
politics. The other fellows are sure
to be there, if there is any scheme
up, and if the better element do not
attend, evil results. Then the well
meaning man must vote with party
he believes wrong in principle, or
be a party to fraud in his own or
ganization.
The political field is a broad one
and calls for the best talent of our
best men. Because corrupt men
take an interest in politics and crowd
themselves to the front owing to the
indifference of pure minded men,
should not deter a young man from
making close study of the politi-
cal problems of his country and
taking lively interest in its man
agement. To be politician and
take lively interest in all that per
tains to political management does
not necessarily mean an office-seek-
er. Too often the terms are con-
fused, and we speak of chronic
office-seeker as a politician. A poll
ticisn may seek Office from his par
ty, but a constitutional Office seeker
is very poor politician. His one
idea is to gain position and honor
for himself. He is apt to lose sight
of his country's good or party inter-
terests if he can by any means,
questionable or otherwise, secure
place for himself.
The province of the politician is
to build up and strengthen his
country through wise and economic
laws and means put in force by his
party. To see that good reliable
and strong men are placed in posi-
tons of trust to enforce these laws
and that the other kind of men are
kept in private life.
Political parties are great bene-
fit to a government like ours, and
the more nearly equal they are divid-
ed the better for the country. Then
each party must bring out its best
men for public place or march to
certain defeat. The Republican
party of Kansas, after several years
of defeat, has wrestled from the op-
position, control, and now holds the
reins by virtue of comparatively
small majority. If the party acts
wisely and steers clear of internal
strife and labors for the best inter-
ests of our country and state and not
primarily to advance the personal
interests of any clique or set, it can
hold power indefinitely. But if it |
proves out that the party is run, or
to be run, in the interest of certain
set more than for the general good
of the state and welfare of the party,
disgrace and disaster will surely
come. The candidates before the
people must be clean and true men.
The appointees must be the same.
The Republicans Of Kansas demand

Monkeys

Gall well-all happy-lots
of fun. That is the regular
report from the monkey cage
of Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-
sion. Consumption was carry
ing off two thirds of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.
One day a keeper accident
ally broke a bottle of SCOTS
Emulsion near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerly
tapped it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that it
might do them good. Since
hen the monkeys have received
,egular doses and the keepers
,eport very few deaths from
consumption. Of course it's
cheaper to buy SCOTS Emul-
sion than new monkeys-and
shat suits the circus men.
Consumption in monkeys
and in man is the same disease.

Mr.. Alleman is we'll known to
