Pension Commissioner.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 1.-THE poll
tics of Kansas has always been inter
esting to the nation. Its diversified
complexion from campaign to cam
paign has attracted with unusual in
terest as well the eccentricities of its
party people Here at the crossroads
where the politics of the country are
discussed Kansas gets it's share of
praise or censure Since the state has
so strongly swung into the Republican
column and has sent to the national
capital substantial business men to rep
resent it's interests Kansas has again
acquired a most reputable standing and
influence. Such standing is not easy
to build up, but very easy to tear
down.
Just now Kansas is occupying earn
est attention of the politicians at
Washington. The matter of distribut-
ing federal patronage in the state and
the manner in which boss-busters are
endeavoring to interfere with appoint
ments is looked upon here with dis
gust. The feeling prevails that Kan
sas should settle her fights at home
and not bring them here for settle
ment and advertise the state and hui
initiate the states representatives.
These fights very seldom terminate
generally weaken the influence of the
representative who recommends the
appointments. Especially does he lose
his standing with the president. Sucn
cases always lead the impression that
the representative is presenting men
for office who are not worthy the en-
dorSement of their people.
Kansas is having all sorts of trouble
with it's federal patronage, and SEN
ator Burton is being made to suffer the
consequences of petty fights. When Mr..
Burton took the oath of office as a
United States senator he had won an
enviab1e standing with the powers that
be- 1t may be that he still retains such
standing of influence, but that is
being somewhat questioned by the older
politicians who keep pace with political
events and conditions a the hub of
authority.
The disposition shown by the poll
ticians of Kansas to knock on Buttons
candidates for appointment is no doubt
injuring to some extent any standing
the senator may have with the presi-
dent and departmental officials. If
these fights are persisted in, future dip
lomatic relations between the senator
and the powers at Washington will be
such that neither Burton nor the state
will have influence in public affairs.
This condition will easily weaken the
influence of the other members of the
congressional delegation as well, as
some one or more members are in
way interested in these appointments

GOOD ROADS FOR ALL.

IFrom the Milwaukee JournaIJ
The question of good roads is one that
has been agitated and long been a
source of discussion as to who was
benefited the most by their creation. 1t
has been claimed that it was a city
mans movement and also that good
roads benefited only the countryman.
And through it all little attention has
been paid to the benefits to be derived
by anyone save those who use teams or
bicycles. But the betterment of the
country road means much more than
that. 1t means a more even prosperity
to the entire country from the capital
list to the day laborer. 1t is a question
as broad as the family life and almost
as important in its bearing on the body
social the body polite and the body
commercial. This latter is the one most
In evidence and most easily reasoned.
The creation of good roads that will
laugh at snow. frost and rain alike,
means that the business of the country
will be evenly distributed over the year
and not punched into two seasons. 1t
means that railway car shortages will
cease and crop rushes be done away
with, to a very large extent, and that
merchandise will move more regularly
and men be employed in more regular
manner rather than for a season and
then laid off again. And this is rea-
sonable.
