Prohibition Wins sn Kansas.

One of the most notable results of the
local elections held yesterday throughout
the west was the strong revival of prohibit
tiOn sentiment in Kansas. This may be di-
rectly traced to the effect of Mrs Nations
smashing crusade. In Topeka, and ac-
cording to present reports four-ffths of all
the towns in the state, the temperance
workers succeeded in electing mayors
pledged to the enforcement of the prohi-
bitiOn laws. There is yet hope for Kan
sas. 1t has safely passed through the
stage of lawIess agitation in this present
crisis and has now settled down to the ap-
plication of orderly processes to accom-
pIish the ends of the reformers. Mrs. Ma
ton represented the exhaustion of public
patience with administrative officials who
Were willing to let the prohibition laws fall
into nullity through lack of enforcement
rather than formal repeal. Her methods
Were revolutionary. radical and dangerous.
She stimulated the passions of the people
in manner to threaten the peace of the
commonwealth. But. as yesterdays cleo
tiOns testify, she represented the will of a
majority of the people. The net lesson of
this affair, whatever the future may de-
veiOp, is that there is danger in spasmodic
reform effected by waves of sentiment fol-
lowed by periods of indifference and COM
placency. Too often the voter casts his
ballot to please friends. or members of the
family. or in blind devotion to q political
organization. whatever the issues. The SOL
emn meaning of the suffrage is not suffi-
Ciently appreciated. In many quarters The
responsibility of the reformer is often light
iy assumed. to effect temporary result.
Participation In government. in the franz
ing of laws and their administration means
that each individual citizen must maintain
high standard Of intelligence. and must
face continuing responsibility. Kansas
has had ample demonstration of the fact
that this responsibility Is often thrown
aside lightly as 1t was originally as
sumed. with the result of years of law
breaking. of outraged public feelings and
of disrepute for lie state. Yesterdays
election. however, Is gratifying proof that
the sentiment In favor of a restriction of
the liquor traffic is preponderant. There
may be division of opinion among temper
ance" advocates as between absolute pro-
hibition and regulation by means of re-
strictive licenses. But Kansas now shows
that when the Issue comes between abso-
lutte prohibition and an absolute surrender
to the traffic through official connivance,
the majority of the people prefer the
former.

with a colored supplement and puzzle de-
partment, but 1t is progressing. For in
stance, word comes from Lincoln that Mr.
Bryan has cabled to Manila for lengthy
dissertation by Aguinaldo on his side of
the Philippines question. The Commoner is
to be exclusively devoted, in an early issue,
to discussion Of the topic as thus pro-
pounded. In short, we are to have an
"Aguinaldo extra" with a symposium from
the Tagal Washington and the Lincoln die
tator. 1t will be most interesting pro-
duction.
Aguinaldo as a special correspondent of
the Commoner is in role which suits him
admirably. 1t Is a little strange, indeed,
that Mr.. Bryan did not arrange before now
to secure occasional letters from Palinan.
They would have doomed the circulation
wonderfully. Was it lack Of enterprise
which prevented, or a fear of endangering
the fugitive? Letters from AguinaIdo at
large and still a factor in the case would
have been worth much more than letters
from Aguinaldo in Jail. stripped of his
power and with his lips still tremulous
with the oath of allegiance.
1t Is after all OF comparatively little i'm
portance now whether Aguinaldo thinks one
way or another of the Philippines outlook.
His wishes are not to be consulted. His
plans are not to be followed. His voice has

for the vanished dreams of this Taeal ad-
venturer. or for his dissertations on the
problems with which the United States is
confronted Two elections have settled his
relations to this government beyond the
possibility of his remaining live issue.
Funston merely restored him to temporary
prominence. Nevertheless, the proposed
broadside of denunciation by Aguinaldo and
Bryan will be interesting. This is going to
be a dull summer. unless all present signs
fail. and so diverting a bit of journalism
will greatly help out the season and, per-
haps incidentally, aid the Commoner.

Suppress the Spitters.

For several years sanitarians and others
have been persistently protesting against
the habit indulged In by street car passen-
gers OF expectorating on the floor. The un-
heaIthful. filthy practice has aroused such
a wave of sentiment in practically every
American city that boards of health and
municipal authorities everywhere have
studied the problem OF how most effectively
to assail the nuisance. In consequence
nearly every city now has its anti-spittlng
law or ordinance. which Is observed chiefly
in the breach. 1t is recognized as difficult
of enforcement, because the street car con-
ductor has no authority to make arrests
and is usually unwilling TO enter COM
plant to a policeman for fear of being
compelled to lose valuable time in court
Nor are passengers as a rule desirous of
running the chance OF disagreeable en-
counters with defiant spitters, or of appear
ing as witnesses. Consequently the anti
splitting laws have thus far mainly depend
ed for observance upon their moral effect

There is no more disgusting habit than
that Of expectorating in public convey
ances. 1t is bad enough when practiced by
pedestrians in the streets, but when it
comes to splitting upon street or elevated
car floors and in ferryboats it is some
thing that demands prompt and adequate
punishment.
The action Of the health board in send
ing out 1S0 policemen Of the sanitary
squad to round up these violators of the
most ordinary rules Of decent manners is
heartily commended by the public, and it
is to be hoped that they will pursue the

taught to reform their ways

practice so prevalent rs in America 1t is

board meets with the hearty approval of

to AguiuaIdo on the subject of his oath or
allegiance? Particularly If Agulnaldo
should press for an immediate release from

be well for Uncle Sam to ask for little
time for reflection? And would it not be
well for him to devote that time to very
earnest solid thinking?
Several things are worthy of considera-
ton In the first place. Aguinaldo is very
shifty fellow. He has sold out his com
rades once and he has acted treacherousiy
toward u.s. His conscience is of an elastic.

Mr.. Knox and Mr.. OIney.

The New York World is displeased with
the selection of Mr.. Knox for the attorney
generalship. 1t detects the influences of
Pierpont Morgan and the steel trust be-
hind it, and it could hope to see the selec-
tion Cancelled. Which recalls a bit of his
tory.
When the selection of Mr.. Olney for the
attorney generalship in the second Cleve-
land cabinet was announced the World ob-
jected very strenuously. 1t pointed out
that the democratic campaign had been
made in part against trusts, and that the
failure of the Harrison administration to
accomplish anything in restraining such
combinations of capital had been a factor
in its defeat at the polls. And yet, as the
World insisted, here was the new admin
istration starting off with the leading cor
poration lawyer of New England put into
post which should be filled so as to make
the corporations tremble. The World felt
outraged, and expressed itself with the
greatest freedom.
Time passed, as the novelists say. Mr..
Olney could do no more with the anti
trust law than Mr.. Miller had done. But
he had made an impression on the country
in the matter of the Chicago riots, and on
Mr.. Cleveland in particular. So that when
Judge Gresham's death made vacancy
In the State Department Mr.. OIney was
appointed to fill it. He was esteemed the
ablest member of the cabinet. The least
known in political circles when called from
his law office in Boston, he developed
rapidly in political office. and led men who
had been in politics all their lives. The
country heartily applauded Mr.. Clevelands s
judgment in the matter of the transfer.
Some more time passed. Mr.. Olney had
retired from politics and again taken up
the business of his corporation clients. He
was again the leading corporation lawyer
of New England. Mr.. Bryan was making
his second race for the presidency. He
was inyeghing for eastern consumption
more against Imperialism than anything
else. but he still had many shots in his
locker to be fired at the trusts and when
ever opportunity presented itself he let fly.
The World was supporting Mr.. Bryan
though with rather a wry face-and learn
ing that Mr.. Olney was inclined to declare
for him, it offered it's valuable columns for
the medium of the announcement, and Mr..
Oiney availed himself of the Courtesy. Thus
the World, turning to the rejected stone OF
1898, used it as chief of it's corner in 1900,
although it's object was defeated. Not even
the leading corporation lawyer Of New
England striking hands with the leading
antitrust newspaper of New York. could
pull Mr. Bryan through.
Which shows CD that politics make
strange bedfellows and (2) that even
great corporation lawyer may have his
uses in this world outside of his regular
business

Among the Sunday afternoon diversions
in New York city was lecture by an eX-
He'd Russian prince His contention was
that the philosophy of the twentieth CEN
tury would be the philosophy Of anarchism.
1t is to be hoped that the excitab1e exile
will grow calm and acquire little common
sense after he has lived for a time in a re-
public He may think his radical and revo-
iutionary views are warranted by condi-
tions existing in Russia: but he will find
out that Russia and Russian theories of
government are not going to lead in twen-
tieth century civilization. The theory and
practice of government by the people and
for the people will grow in favor as the
years go by. When people have a hand in
the making Of laws they are likely to be
law-abiding They will correct abuses in
government by argument and by the ap-
plication Of orderly and peaceful remedies
not by anarchistic outbreaks. The winning
philosophy in the twentieth century will be
the philosophy Of law and order.

ence Is that after few weeks of fairly
general respect for the ordinance after its
promulRatiou the old habit of using the car
floor as a cuspidor returns and continues
unabated. The case demands serious atten-
ton for the street car traffic fs growing
constantly and the danger to the public
health Is increasing in proportion. The mat
ter has received earnest consideration in
New York, where the nuisance has reached
vast proportions The result Of the agita-
ton Is that the health board yesterday sent
out squad of plain-clothes men and gath
cred In more than score of car-spitters,
who were fined by the courts. This seems
an excellent method of bringing forcibly to
the public notice the fact that laws are
made to be obeyed, not to be ignored. A
few such raids, conducted at irregular in
tervals. may go far toward breaking up
the obnoxious habit. Meanwhile the edu-
cation of the public in the real meaning of
the bacterial menace to the general health
will help. Perhaps as soon as 1t Is made
generally known that every eXpectoration
upon a car floor carries with 1t the danger
of communicating some disease of the
spiratory organs to many other people,
even habitual spitters will reflect that the
ordinances are founded upon good sense. In
Washington the law is dead letter, al
though it remains conspicuously posted in
most of the street cars. To make the case
worse. some of the cars are given only in
different attention by the cleaners. In con-
sequence their floors appear constantly to
demand the most thorough disinfection in
order to prevent the scattering of clouds
of powdered bacteria into hundreds of
lungs. There is serious need here for such
raid as that which resulted so success
fully in New York and for a general be-
stirring Of the public conscience on this
subject.
