any other American since Gen. Grants

Come days ago the newspapers con-
tanned the report Of a banquet given by
,be proprietor Of the Dewey hotel
sbngton, In honor of the completion
=, bIs palatial new house. Among the
rrssts on that occasion were several
',au known United States senators and
...Dh.rs Of the house Of representa-
lives whose names are given That 1t
~.s a conylvial affair. at which cham
DaIsn flowed freely, is apparent as the
mort states that one elderly member

a freely that, leaving the dinner party

street and in some manner obtained
sn,ronee to the house of an army off,

orderly that a policeman was sent for,

o,ber members Of the congressional
contingent at the dinner who happened
along Just as their contender was be-

In what condition the other congress
men left the banquet the report does
not state. This humiliating spectacle
need not surprise anyone when II is
remembered that In the basement OF

haveb cen running In connection
with the two restaurants that are kept
for the convenience OF our law makers
ana their friends, and that these blind
pigs are conducted under the authority
of honorable committees Of the senate
and the house.
Surely Illicit liquor selling In the
basement Of our national capitol, under
the superintendent OF the senator's and
representatives, Is quite as heinous an
offense as Illicit dIstilling by moon
sinner in Kentucky or low GROCERY
that sells without license IN the slums
of New York.
How are we to prevent such scenes as
followed that banquet at Washing
ton? Within the last few years there
has been a notable advance In the atti-
tude of business firms TO the use OF In
toxcants on the part OF employees.
Never was there so strong a business
instinct among large employers that
sobrlety is absolutely necessary and
must be insisted upon.
The time is coming when the only OPP

drinks will be in politics. 1t is rapidly
becoming SO now. Private employers
dare not trust their business to the

There nre always surprises in an elec-

not visible until election day and tho

principal objection, as alledged. to Mr..
Rector was that he represented the big
cattlemen. However, his own precinct

sales of feeders. Many sales were made
at 81 (9 81 % fiat and freight paid to
the river. Nearly all the cattle thus
sold were from the western part of Colo
RADIO and were yearlings and twos. The
last week was quite lively for no other
reason than that the quality of the offer
ings were just what was wanted by the
buyers. The season is on for the best
kinds of feeders and because of their
scarcity it would not be surprising il
there was lirming up on the quotations

HuaHEs FOR MAYOR.

The determination of Brigadier Gen
eral J. w. F. Hughes, of the Kansas
National Guard, to again enter the race
for mayor of Topeka may surprise peo-
pie who do not know the gallant gen
eral. but to those who have met and
talked with him it will occasion no sur
prise.
The general possesses faculties which
are found in few. He has a most
astounding facility for adjusting him
self to conditions. A champion OF re-
submission and anything but a total
abstainer in practice. he was quite at
home as the candidate of the law and
order. anti-toint faction for mayor of
Topeka. He failed of election. but
nevertheless held the office of mayor for
several months, and he enjoyed the SEN
sation even though he knew he was not
legally elected.
Now it is announced that the LIQUOR
people may espouse his candidacy. They
even went so far as to discuss the ques-
ton seriously at a secret meeting. Cen
eral Hughes himself has told his in
innate friends that he will stand as the
candidate of no faction, which is another
way of saying that he will not look for
his support to the law and order organ
izations that supported him so enthu-
siastically less than two years ago.
This may seem strange. but it is not.
General Hughes has sentiments which
are undoubtedly adjustable as well as
flexible. and if he becomes the candi-
date of the anti-law enforcement people
it viii be because he feels that he will
make a good mayor elected on that plat
form. He will not have any serious con-
flict with his conscience.
General Hughes loves office and power.
When he sees an avenue omen to the re-
alization of his ambitions he probably
feels that he will be better able to travel
it because he has tried the others and
failed. With him the object is every
thing, the means for attaining it moth
ing
There will be no election in Topeka
until next spring, and meanwhile the
people may mediate upon General
Hughes and his ambitions

COTTON MILLS Ar HOME.

word of the interests of that portion of

from year to year.
Last week a party of Kansas City
capitalists interested in a manufactur-
ing plant of this kind, to be located in
or near Kansas City, paid a visit to the
southland collecting figures and the re-
suit of their investigation seems to have
borne out the statement that the grow

manufacture. as well, is on the increase.
