THF SHIP SUBSIDY GAME.

When the Morgan steamship trust

treat railroad companies carrying
Teights to and from the Atlantic sea-
soard were behind the arrangement.
It is this colossal combina ton of rail-
load and steamship lines that will die

republican state central committee,
The committee will hold meeting
about the middle of next month and
the matter will be settled at that

"Home Rulers" Want Botkin.

The home rule party, which was
organized a year ago, and the object
of which was to advance the cause
of prohibition in Kansas, is making
preparations for it's first campaign
this year. The state convention of
the party has been called to meet in
Hutchinson soon. Secretary M. n.
Butler, of the state central commit
tee, gave out a statement in which
he declared that the leaders of the
party favored the nomination of j.
d. BotSin for congressman-at-lar
despite the fact that he probably
will be the populist nominee for gov
ernor. The populist state convention
does not meet until June "a and the
home rule party may nominate Bot
kin for another Office before that
time. Friends of Mr.. Botkin are try
ing to direct the attention of the
home rule organization to some other
candidate for congress, as they are
afraid that he might not reject the
home rule nomination and this would
prevent his nomination by the popu-
lists.

dashed Him With a whip.

At Columbus a young man pressed
his attentions upon young lady in
a manner not agreeable to her. It
came to the notice of the other
young men of the town and they
notified the fellow that he must de-
sist from his practice of following
the girl around. He persisted and on
Monday night the young men took
him to a bridge, tied him up, barred
his back and dashed him with whip.
much to the approval of a large body
of citizens who stood by and wit
messed the performance. = Kansas

The MetbodicnI Mr.. Ware.

Something has been said of the
methodical manner in which Pension
Commissioner Ware does business.
Mr.. Ware has made it practice all
his life to preserve his letters. In
his office at Topeka he has a great
letter file containing a little moro
than $4,000 letters of a private char
acter, and another file containing
about as many of a business charac-
ter. He has these letters indeXed
in such a manner that he can turn
instantly to any one of them by
name, date or by subject matter.

ocean competition. Every new ocean
going ship launched on the Atlantic
seaboard would receive its subsidy as
soon as built and be absorbed in the
combination at the expense of the
American people. Without whipping
the devil around the stump, the SUBJ
sidy might as we'll be given to the rail-
road trunk lines at once.
The senate is by no means so quick
to respond to public sentiment as the
house, whose members must confront
their constituencies every two years.
But no less than seven republican SEN
ators opposed the subsidy bill, al
though it was recommended by sue
eessive republican national conven-
tons and pushed by Chairman Hanna
as a party measure entitled to the
loyal support of all republicans. In
vain Senator Frye and Senator Depew
pleaded with JUNCTION that republican
principles demanded the protection of
all American industries, whether by
duties or by subsidies, and that the
American shipping industry should not
be excluded from this protection. The
party whip could not lash the repub-
lican senator's of Wisconsin, Iowa and
New Hampshire into support of a
scheme that is daily becoming by force
of events more repulsive to the peo-
Pile.
In the house opposition to subsidy
has been growing among the repub
leans since the beginning of the ses-
sion while the democrats are unani
mously against the scheme. This
change among the republicans is due,
not so much to a wholesome senti-
ment against such legisla tive favor
itism as to a lively sense of the po-
litical consequences of forcing this
subsidy job upon reluctant country.
The prospect of the republican control
of the next house is precarious enough,
and it is feared, with just reason, that
subsidy is too heavy a burden to be
borne. Hence the subsidy bill will
not be passed in this session of con-
gress. aud in the march of events the
pleas in its favor will be still weaker
before the next session. But the coun-
try will not readily forget that the
republican leaders have done their ut
most in behalf of a dangerous scheme
to throw millions of public money into
the lap of great steamship companies,
under the pretense of serving the
American merchant marine-in face
of all the evidence of the useless ex-
travagance of the policy.

The apparent effort to quiet til

The apparent effort to quiet the
Philippine outrage question leads to
a singular logical contradiction. AL
though Gen. Smith has been acquitted
by the urt-martial-which, with the
antecedent avowals of his counsel,
can only mean that his order is justi-
fed = Gen. Chaffee has ordered the
stoppage of the water-curing and has
rescinded the order of concentration
camps in Laguna and Batangas prov
inces. If it be true as argued that wa
ter-curing and killing are absolutely
essential to the process of benevolent
assimilation, then the order to stop
such things must be wrong. If the or
der is right, then the finding of the
court-martial must be a defiance.-N.

Bad Case mt Emporia.


immortality have been filed with DR..
IL. w. Roby, the secretary of the
state board of medical registration
and examination, by the citizens of
Emporia for~the purpose of having
DR.. William Meffert's license to prac-
tice medicine in Kansas revoked.
The next meeting of the board is
held on June 10 and at this time the
matter will be taken up. The charges
and affidavits are accompanied by
a statement of facts which is signed
by the committee of three who were
appointed by the citizens to collect
the necessary data and prepare the
charges for examination by the
board. After the opening paragraph
the communication says: For years
this man has been the talk of the
town for his immoral conduct and
because he has used his profession
to further his passions. But these
allegations could not be proven or
the charges of malpractice until a
Cora Randall was found by the city
marshal in a dying condition in
deserted room, who when, as she
supposed she was at the point of
death, made allegations which caused
the arrest of Dr. Meffert'' The next
charge made is that DIR. Meffert per-
formed a criminal operation on Mrs.
John B. Roberts. To substantiate this
statement two affidavits of physicians
have been secured. There is also
petition signed by 10 practicing ply
sicians of Emporia that, 'the under
signed believe DR.. Mefert to be gross
ly immoral and we know that he is
guilty of unprofessional conduct to
such a degree that we will not meet
with him in consultation or recog-
nize him as a member of the med
zeal profession" The ministers of
Emporia have also prepared a petit
ton which states that 'Dr. Meffert
Is a man of immoral character and
his practice of medicine is a menace
to the reputation of any woman who
may call on him for professional serv-
ices. His reputation as an immoral
man is extremely bad and we believe
his presence is a menace to the NOR
ais of the community" This is
signed by nine ministers, nearly all
of whom are of different denOmina-
tons, and includes both Protestant
and Roman Catholic divines. In the
statement of facts made by the COM
mittee the case of Miss Alice Tray
Tor is taken up. This young woman
was for three years a teacher in the
public schools and is said to have
given entire satisfaction. She was a
member of the Methodist church and
came of one of the best families in
Emporia. In the spring of 1900 she
was seen several times on the street
in company with DIR. Meffert and the
teachers committee of the board of
education cautioned her to stop.
She continued to GO with DR.. Metfert,
however, and when again cautioned
told the board that DR.. Meffert was
going to marry her. The board asked
for her resignation and it was given
to them. DIR. Meffert, however, has
not married her since that time, ac-
cording to the report of the commit
tee, but the woman is living with
DIR. Meffert as is Miss Swan and
his divorced wife to whom he has
not been again remarked.
