LAST Saturdays issue Of the State
Journal stated that Judge Theodocius
Botkin had drawn his $4,000 from the
State treasury on warrant issued in ac-
cordance with the appropriation made
in the miscellaneous appropriation bill
to reimburse him for money expended
in his defense in the impeachment trial
Of ten years ago. Some comment was
made in this paper last week on this ap.
preparation, but at that time 1t was i'm
possible to ascertain the exact status OF
the matter. This however seems to set
tie the affair definitely. 1t is however,
fair sample Of the raids that have been
made on the treasury which have run
the treasury dry Of cash on a higher
rate Of tax levy than for many years,
and increased appropriations nearly
half million over any figures known in
the State before. 1t is stated in connec.
ton with this item that Judge Botkin
will remove to Salt Lake where he has
formed a law partnership with a prom
inent Utah attorney.

THIS county is not enjoying the scrap
that is going on in many counties over
the State as to who is to be county sup
erintendent during the short term from
January Ist to May Ist made by the
law changing the time Of the officer
named above taking his Office. In most
counties the county commissioners ap-
pointed man to fill this interim, Some
times they appointed the old superintend'
ent and sometimes the incoming officer
The attorney general was called upon
short time ago for his opinion and he
decided that the constitution provides
that the county superintendent like the
other officers shall hold his office
till his successor is elected
and qualified. In this county the old Of
fee was re.eected and appointed as
well, so there is no conflict. But in
many places the old officers are taking
legal measures to oust the ones ap-
pointed by the commissioners.

THE republican politicians who made
up their ticket that was nominated last
week evidently thought they had ac-
complished capital stroke of politics
in selecting their man for the mayoralty
contest. But their trick was old, very
very old If the people do not compre'
hend it, will show that their presump-
tion Of the peoples gullabiity is better
placed than we think. Whenever some
gang Of political skinAints have sworn
themselves out with the public and eX.
hibited the shoddy stuhing and fustian,
with which their carcasses are charged
when the bark they navigate is humping
around between Scylla and Charybdis,
when the old bull wheel Of their political
machine gets to pounding round till it
won't stay in gear, then they suddenly
experience a change of heart, take up
some new and respectable issue and
hunt up some new and respectable man
who has been lavorably known in bust
ness and known not at all, and in fact
inexperienced in public affairs to get
votes before election and do as they tell
him after election, We do not here say
that Mr., Baker will do exactly as the
gang tell him in all things If he is elected,
but we do say that they think he will do
so or they would not have nominated
him, And with the pressure of the
whole push who raised him to this hon
orable position, bearing down upon his
frame with possibly now and then a
threat against his business interests men
toned as penalty for refusing, he will
be very likely to accede to at least some
OF their demands. And those demands
will be the most important to the inter-
ests Of the city Suppose they should
succeed in electng Noyes as police
judge. Then suppose they should con-
troll the appointment for city marshal, we
would have the same old condition Of
things we have had for several years,
a continuance Of the violation of the
oath Of office, and farcial administra-
tion of justice. A war against chicken
thieves, and little boys, while those who
deal in liquid damnaton and buy and
sell the virtue of girls, are either unmo-
Tested or given protection for a month
upon the payment of single fine.
Mr. Baker may be not reconing on the
pressure Of this sort that will naturally
be brought to bear on him, running on
such ticket as he is and supported by
political machine of the kind it is,
with the assistance of the bootleggers
and blokes, and he may feel confident
OF his power to cope with it and with
stand it. If the latter is the case we
fear he will be subjected to some some
startling disclosures.

HUTCHINSON RENO COUNTY, KANSAS THURSDAY MARCH T. 1901


Surely this Is time of religious awak-
ening in Hutchinson, Just as the great
revival was drawing to close the first
OF the week and the evangelist and his
singer were making ready for their de-
parture to the scene OF their next labors
in Michigan, Christ appeared In Hutch
inson with a heavy flowing name
upon his face and more and heavier and
longer upon his neck, In the wind it
streamed and gathered dust and grind
stones Of the smaller calbres, But he
came not bare footed and in peasant
garb without place to lay his head, Hid.
den down among his frousled name he
wore black hat and over his shoulders
and extending nearly to the ground he
wore a velvet robe Of wine color and
green and from out the folds Of his sur
plice the morning stars peeped in pro
fusion, AS he meandered down Main
street with his name and vestments hy'
ing in the wind he cut a wide swath.
But into his face the seeker for truth
and Immortality looked in vain for some
sleh kindly expression as feed may

republican central committee has em
ployed him to heal some Of the sores
that are now fostering in their flesh
Their central committee is offering larg,
inducements for "heelers" now OF which
he had presumably heard. He will pre-
haps be paid like their editorial writer
at so much per.

Ir strikes one who is uninitiated that
there are sometimes some inconsistent
cies that creep into the editorial col
umns Of the evening daily. For in
stance in boasting of the faithfulness of
the republican party in carrying out its
platform pledges it says "a pledge made
by that party to city is entitled to as
much confidence as its pledge to a ma
tion," Then in the same issue and all
issues it is telling about making Hutch
inson better place to live in. In thus
recognizing the need Of making things
"better" in Hutchinson we might ask
what has become Of the platform pledges
Of the republican party that has been
running the city for so many years, and
has let it get into such fix. But that
might be embarrassing and we won't do

Judge Martins letter TO Billy Morgan
and refused to print it. Then he Of
fered to pay them advertising rates for

down. That night the good people held
a prayer meeting at the News Office and
next morning they sent note to the
Judge saying it would appear in Satur-
days paper, Verify the fervent prayer
of the righteous man availeth much.
The good people Of the city should call
for volunteers to hold prayer service at

THE Mail and Breeze which Is the off
cial State paper is authority for the state
ment that the new law election is not In
effect and will not 60 into effect till its
publication in the statute book which
will be about the first Of May, This
makes the republican politicians who
nominated the ticket the other night
feel good. They fused with consider
able part Of the city ticket. That Is
they nominated the same men for some
of the Offices that were nominated by the
citizens in a mass convention. Not only
that but they nominated some demo-
Gratis as we'll. 1t would be beastly em-
barrassing you know If the fellows that
made the law would be the first ones to
try to circumvent 1t. But fortunately
the old law is still in effect, and they can
still fuse legally. But fusion is so cor
rupting, so infamous a barterlng away
of principle-o well really we didn't
think they would convict themselves so
soon.

tions of National partnership, eulog-
izing the work of Carnegie Institute and
the example of its founder, and saying
in part:
while healthful and normal conditions
of national partnership forbid envy and
unfriendliness on the part of the em-
ployed towards employing capital, so
also such conditions most emphatically
forbid the grinding selfishness, the
greedy rapacity and supercilious haughti-
ness which too often characterize the
treatment of the employed by capital.
f shall not, however, enlarge upon
any of the aspects which the so-called
labor problem presents in these latter
days, and l desire distinctly to disclaim
any intention to suggest what may be
the cause or causes of the distraction
which, unfortunately so frequently oc-
curs in the relationship of labor to capi-

able and irritating demands on the part
of labor. or whether our workingmen
listen too credulously to malign counsel,
or whether again the trouble arises from
the greed and avarice of capital and of
it's immense aggregations, | do not pre-

share in creating the difficulty. 1t is
sufficient for my present purpose TO point
out that there is antagonism in this re-

be accomplished by nursing real or
imaginary injuries on the part of labor,
nor by lordly and selfish arrogance on
the part of capital. A beginning must
be made by conspicuous examples of a
recognition of the duty and obligations
which return conditions upon which the
full enjoyment of our partnership ad-
vantages depend. These examples should

sells; they should be prominently recog-
