There will be no dearth of
candidates to fill the indie
pendent ticket this fall, not
withstanding the fact that the
republican legislature has at.
tempted to disfranchise those
who refuse to vote the repub-
lican ticket. The Index
hopes that all who aspire to
become candidates will enter
the contest in the conven.
ton in the proper spirit, each
conceding the rights OF 9th
ers, and after it is over there
should be no room for sore
spots. The duty of the con.
ventions is to treat every
man whose name is present
ed fairly. No convention nor
a single committee should be
packed in the interest of one
man, and after the will of
the conventions has been ex-
pressed the hats of the de.
feated ones should go into
the air in behalf of our tick
ct. We have no doubt that
this is the view entertained
by all Populists and Demo
Gratis in the county but it is

what we can to promote, and
strengthen that kind of feel.

This frank confession is
made by Ed Howe, editor of
the Atchison Globe: "Thous-
ands of columns are being
printed in the newspapers
about congress repeating the
tariff on live stock and meats.
There is not the slightest
probability that such a thing
will be done. Congress is
controlled by politics, so alb
solntely that it looks dishon-
est. The steel trust, the sug.
ar trust and other trusts have
powerful friends in congress.
Why the trusts control so
many congressman, we do not
know. Sometimes we think
it does it with money, and at
other times we think it is
due to politics; republican
members of congress believe
they must stand by the poll
cy OF protection, which has
been overdone, without any
sort of question. We are a
republican, but it has always
seemed to us that protection
is a tax on the many in the
interest of the few. Why
western people should clam.
or for protection, in the in.
terest of the east, we have new
er been able to understand"

To illustrate how easily
some republicans can change
their minds and allow some
high muck-a-muck to do their
thinking, take the campaign
work Of Mark Hanna and
President Roosevelt. Mark
would go out on the stump
and declare that the trusts
are the life and trade of the
country-that without them
there could be no prosperity,
and his followers would
throw their hats into the air
and take an enthusiastic fit.
Roosevelt followed on Han
mas trail before it was cold
and declared that the trusts
are a curse to the nation and
ought to be restrained, and
the same fellows who went
wild when Hanna spoke, vel.
len "Hurrah for Roosevelt"
Many otherwise intelligent
men are just that foolish.
When they get welded to a
party anything goes. This
is one reason why the repub-
lican party has gotten so bold
in recent years in abridging
the liberty of the people.
They will commit these out.

NOT RY FORCE OF ARMS.

Farm Journal:
The costliest thing in all the earth
says Herbert Welsh, is the attempt OF
| a,man to conquer by force and, wrong
fully, bis brother. In fact, it cannot be
done. A man may kill his brother in
order to achieve it. but he is sure to
find it the costliest thing he ever Sun
dertook. But an appallingly and I'M
endingly costly thing is it to set out to
kill people or destroy nation.
America can root out the Filipinos,
but she can never conquer them except
by repenting of her intrusion upon
their rights and by dealing with them
justly. By allowing them to have
what, by every law of heaven and I'M
der heaven, was their own, and dealing
with them in that view, she could have
conquered them at the start Now, af-
Ter spending millions of treasure, and
shedding blood and disease as if they
were benlsons, she can do only that if
she is to secure true and an abiding
peace. But getting peace that way is
ike gong 10 heaven by way OF he'll.
That is the witless. brutal, military or
soldierly way of doing things.
The nation that would smite nation
to death risks being smitten itself to
death, as surely as the individual who
smites his brother wrongfully. It will
come sooner or later. They that take
the sword perish with the sword. The
violent man lives not out half his DAYS.
Violence lin men or nations is not
promotive of prosperity. If so, it is
short-lived and delusion while it
lasts. Violence brings doom, this way
or that, to all who resort to it. No
conquest or subjugation in this world
can be secure or work for good unless
it follows strictly along the lines of
moral right.

THE DEMOCRAT CONVENTION.

The Democrat State convention at
Wichita did much better last week
than many had expected, in the
union with the Populists. They nomi-
mated six candidates and adjourned to
meet at Topeka to fill the rest of the
ticket June 9th when the Populist
convention is held.
The resolution to postpone the con-
vention was offered by Congressman
Jackson. It carried 500 to 126, which
showed that jackson is 10 favor with
his party:
Resolved, that the rules and order Of bust
ness of this convention in and so far as they
provide for the nomination of a full state
ticket be suspended and that this conven-
ton now proceed to the nomination for such
ofices as In the judgment of this convention
Will be the fair and equitable proportion of
the Offices to which the democratic party
should be entitled at the ensuing election,
ana that the democratic state convention be,
and the same is hereby empowered to fll the
vacancy in any office and that they be re-
quested to meet at Topeka ON the Gath day of
June and confer with the populist convention
and assure that convention IL they nominate
the men tor Office left vacant by this conven-
ton that the committee will endorse and NOM
mate the men for the Offices which the popu.
lists suggest for the vacancy left by this con.
vention and assure the committee under the
Instructions of the democratic convention
Will test the validity of the so-called anti-fu-
sion law"
> The candidates nominated are w. HI.
Craddock, of Kansas City for governor.
j. d. McCleverty, of Fort Scott, and J.
ID Cannon, of Mound City. for Justices
of the supreme court, Claude Duvall.
of Hutchinson. for Secretary of State.
). NJ. Lewis, of Kinsley, for auditor
and Vim. Sence, of Wichita, for sup.
erintendent of public instruction.
When the two conventions meet at
Topeka on the 24;h an effort will be
made to agree on the ticket aud each
party will, if they agree, nominate the
same candidates and test the election
law in the supreme court. We hope
this line of policy will be pursued. The
republican supreme court should be
compelled to either declare that law
UNCONSTITUTIONAL or say in plain terms
which shall be denied a place on the
ballot.
The candidates nominated by the
democrats are exceptionally strong, able
and clean and no fight can be made on
their personality. OF course, it IS still
a question whether the Ponulists will
consent to nominate a democrat for
governor. A large element is for ]. ..
Botkln and it is doubtful whether thew
Will give In. The question of a name
Is another stumbling block. If the
democrats insist on the name without

poets are better than they have been
since the meeting OF the state commit
tees though there are number of diff
culties yet in the way.
The democrats did a good lob of
houSe-ceaning by getting rid of J Mack
Love as state chairman. They elected

better by electing George Pitts.

THE SOLDIERS PRAYER.

Near the camp-fire's flickering light,
In my blanket-bed lie,
Gazing through the shades of night,
At the twinkling stars on high.
Ger me spirits in the air,
Silent virgiIs seem to keep,
AS breathe my childhood's prayer:
Now lay me down to Sleep"
Sadly sings the whip-poor-will,
In the boughs of yonder tree,
Laughfngly the dancing rill
Swells the midnight melody.
Foemen may be lurking near
In the canyon dark an deep
Low breathe in Jesus ear:
Il pray the Lord my soul to keep"
Mid the stars one face see,-
One the Saviour called away
Mother, who in infancy
Taught my baby lips to pray.
Her sweet spirit hovers near,
In this lonely mountain brake
Take me to her Saviour dear,
IF should die before L wake"
Fainter grows the Pickering light
AS each ember slowly dies;
Plaintively the birds of night,
Fill the air with saddening cries.
Over me they seem to cry:
You may never more awake
Low lisp, IF l should die,
1 pray the Lord my soul to take"
Nov 1 lay me down to sleep,
/ pray the Lord my soul to keep;
If L should die before / wake,
l pray the Lord my soul to take"
