What Does 1t Stand FOrq

TO the populist who came from the
republican party says the Topeka Adj
vocate, and has been asking himself
the question of returning to his
early love we invite attention to an
editorial in the Topeka Herald Of Apr.
Z. If there is former republican in
the reform movement who can think
for moment of returning to the
republican fold under such an arrang-
ment of the party by one of the
leaders and mouthpeices Of the par
ty, then all we have TO say is that
such a person has no principle and is
in politics simply for the emoluments.
General Hudson very truly admits
that the republican party has lost its
principles and is denominated by men
who are dishonest and are after the
offices only. Following is the ed
itorial:
1.-THE decay Of populism and the
lack OF vitality in thel ancient super
stition known as democracy, leaves
the republican party in control in
Kansas. Observing voters of the
dominant party cannot shut their
eyes to the fact that the factions
within the party represent nothing
higher nor better than a scramble for
the offices and the patronage, state
and federal. There is no great issue
before the people and no vital prlnci-
pies to arouse the interest of the
voters. The platforms of this year,
both county and congressional, simply
/, contain the stereotyped compliments
to oficialS and the reiteration Of
;threadbare policies. In our munich
pal elections just passed there have
/ been local issues to divide voters. In
all our cities the ever present ques-
ton whether the law and the conSti-
tuition on the whiSkey question shall
be maintained offered the only contest
where there was principle at
stake. Professional politicians, after
years Of effort, succeeded in forcing
the prohibition issue out of county
and state platforms. Today no po-
litical party in Kansas has the moral
or political courage to demand the en-
forcement Of the prohi5itory law.
Eliminated from partisan politics, the
issue lost large part of its strength,
and now floats about in municipal ell
ections an orphan and an outcast.
The moral and the religious elements
are too busy with the daily concerns
OF business, or the saving of souls for
church purposes, to give the subject

THE MoDERN1zED M1KADo.
Japanese Sovereign Has Abandoned
the Ultra Exclusiveness Of
His Ancestors.

The mikado is the first japanese SOW
ereign to emerge from the dignified re-
iirement in which his predecessors
lived. This step has only increased the
passionate loyalty of his subjects to-
ward him, and people are already COM
pairing him with the kaiser as regards
the prominent role he seems disposed

greatest interest and enthusiasm, orr
dered two priFates to be brought be-
fore him, and questioned them through
the medium of his chief aidc-de-csmp.
His questions were of the paternal
kind, such as the following:
How did they get on with the hard
ships Of barracl1 life? Did they longto
go home whenever they thought of
their nearest relatives? Did they not
think their lot a hard one each time
their thoughts wandered back to the
ease and joys of their home? Were
they not feeling the effects of their
daily exertions in the maneuvers? DID
not the exactions of the military sery-
ice some times make them cry in Sc
cret?
The young soldiers answered that
they were quite happy in tho army,
and that their only desire was to do
their duty toward their beloved SOY.

A few days before the mikado, while
travelling by rail, was cheered by
number of very old people at Shiralshi
station. He sent them all presents
through the local government, an act
OF kindness which moved the old peo.
pie to tears of gratitude.

We notice by the commissioners
proceedings that DR.. Nelson was al
lowed $50 for quarantining two
families affiicted with smallpox.
Besides several other physical MS were
allowed bills for quarantining. These
bills caused our thoughts to go back
to January when DR.. Nelson was
made county health officer at a salary
of 800, when the bid of DR.. Haggard
was S45. The Herald remarked that
the job was given to the highest bid
der. The Dispatch with great indig-
nation said it wasn't so-for DR.. Nell
sons contract included everything
smallpox and all, while DR.. Haggard S
bid excepted the contagious diseases.
Now that DIR. Nelson is allowed extra
for smallpox cases, what becomes of
Mr.. ROyce's explanation? And be-
sides how is it that $15 day was
exorbitant charge when DR.. Fisher
saw as high as 80 or 80 cases day.
and is reasonable charge when DR..
Nelson visits only one family? These
things may be all right and just, but
questions of this kind will suggest
themselves to the taxpayers occasion
ally. Maybe Mr.. Royce can explain
why he is having it done that way
party: for it is members of his own
party that are asking the most
questions.
