The Republicans of Kansas have at
last put Phil Campbell, of Pitts burg,
in position to dispose of him effec-
tually. Phil has been a candidate for
everything from dog -pelter to COVER
nor since he reached his majority, not
because of any particular fitness he
possesses for any public station, but
merely because his mouth was put on
hot when he was young and spread
over the larger portion of the front
section OF his head. The third dis
trict in Kansas has been the off dis
trict for years to the Republicans,
and is represented today by Judge
A. NJ. Jackson, of Winfield, the
ablest and best man that has been
to congress from the opposition from
Kansas. Jackson is serving his first
term, and has made an ideal member,
satisfactory to all kinds and classes
of people. Campbell, as usual sought
to Republican nomination for the
place, and it was given to him last
week. What Judge Jackson will do
to him will be a plenty, as an honest
Republican in the district will tell
you, for half of them who are not
professional politicians and oandi-
dates for something will vote for
Jackson rather than for such a mark
as Campbell, who is all mouth and no
brain.

The Insurance companies are sllll

The Insurance companies are still
endeavoring to embarass the people
Of Mississippi on the question Of car
rying risks on cotton. The object no
doubt is to force the state to change
its insurace laws to the liking of the
insurance companies, feeling that II a
general elamor comes from the people
for anything that will enable them to
carry protection against FIRE on their
cotton, must have an influence calcu-
lated to secure such legislation as is
asked. OF course the question Of in
suring cotton in Mississippi is a big
one, the companies know it, and they
seem determined to have the state
laws modified to suit them or to leave
the cotton uninsured. II the state was
as big as 1t should be. 1t would quickly
give these would-be dictators of what
sort of laws the state should have an
object lesson they would not soon for
get. It is within the province Of the
state legislature to pass a law which
would create an insurance department
in the state empowered to write in
surane on not only cotton, but every
thing else, and by such a turn for
elf-preservation, no one would be
able to seelthe coat tails! of the in
surance companies now so defiant,
for the dust they would raise trying to
get into the ring, and take insurance
on any kind of terms the legislature
might prescribe. A state as right and
strong and capable as is Mississippi
ought not to permit its peopls en-
barrassed by any outside corporations
for one hour, when it is within it's
power to set things right as could be
done in this case, by taking its own
risks on insurances. OF course some,
and especially the insurance COM
panies viii say the state can't afford
to take its own risks, but since it pays
many times over for all the protec-
tion it receives, such a claim falls off
its own weight. The state could do
many things, if it just would, that
would put humming bee in the ear
of the great trusts and combines that
would embarrass its people. The
newspapers of the state ought to
come to the rescue of the people this
hour, and insist upon the state going
into the insurance business. The
proposition is perfectly logical,
