Party Organization And The Machine


About the shallowest argument
against the anti.machine movement
in politics that could be produced has
been advanced Of late by some of the
machine organs. They say that be,
fore the machine aap be overcome, q
more powerful one must be built up.
That new machine would soon be-
come as arrogant and corrupt as the
one It had suppressed This does not
In any manner Justify the methods of
the old but the argument is that none
better can be established, therefore,
the old should be left alone. If there
were no changes there would be no
progress. There is progress in poll
tics as in other things. History
proves it, and 1t Is not necessary to
consult ancient history, either. The
memory of the average man ought to
be sufficient evidence to him of this
fact. A new machine if that is nee
eSSary is far preferable TO the old one,
for it doubtless would profit by the
mistakes Of its predecessor.
But new machine is unnecessary.
The average American oitlzen does
not need boss OF leader. He has
sufficient wisdom to act discretely and
intelligently, and any attempt of
some "blg politician" to tell him
how to vote, or to manage him, is an
insult to his understanding.
Organization is valuable and desir-
able, but does not need to employ
dlctatOrial methods. 1t is a proper
way to secure the passage Of laws
which are believed to be beneficial In
nature, and this is the essence Of par
ty organization. The attempt of any
set or faction Of politicians to gain
control Of the party in order to furth-
er the selfish designs and personal
ambition OF It's members is wholly
lacking in any principle which should
commend itself to the intelligent vot-
er or the rank and file of the party.
The tendency Of the times is away
from factlOnal organization although
defeat to the party may necessarily
follow before success Is accomplished.

The Phillipsburg Dispatch has de-
cided how Smith county should be
run politically and has proceeded to
tell Ii. Several hundred copies have
been sent to the people OF this county
containing this information. Mr..
Royce has been trying to run bis Own
county for several years, but has failed
most dismally, Before he attempts TO
tell Ia what. to do be should look at
his own affairs at home. This county
is fully able to take care Of itself
without any outside interference from
Phlllipsburg or anywhere else. Let
Mr. Royce get his own county back in
the Republican column and stop the
fight at bis own door before trying TO

The Kansas Republican League.

The antl.machine republicans of the
state have formed an organization,
the purpose Of which is to wipe out
the factionalIsm that has dominated
the republican policies Of the past.
The object is commendable and the
Herald is heartily In accord with the
work. The officers Of the League are;
President, Hays B. White Of Jewell
City; ylce.presldent, Carr W. Taylor,
Of Hutchinson; secretary, Fl. NJ. Phil
lips; treasurer, r. 4, Woods OF Well
iDgton. An executive committee Of
fifteen will direct the affairs Of the
league. This committee has not yet
been named. An address to the re-
publlcans Of the state will be prepared
by committee OF able men setting
forth the purposes Of the league.
The machine men are viewing this
movement With evident alarm, and
we'll they may. Republication ought
10 be supreme, and II not OF greater
Importance than factiOnalism is not
worthy Of your support. These are
the principles for which the Herald

Compensation.

The universe pays every man In his
own coin; II you smile, it smiles upon
you In return; il you frown, you will
be frowned at; IL you sing, you will be
invited into gay company; II you
think, you will be entertained by
thinkers; and II you love the world and
earnestly seek for the good that is
therein, you will be surrounded by
loving frie6ls, and nature will pour
into your lap the treasure Of the
earth. Censure, erlticlse and hate,
and you will be censured, criticised
and hated by your fellow man. Every
seed brings forth after its kind. Mis-
trust begets mistrust, Jealousy begets
jealousy, hatred begets hatred, conf.
dence and kindness begets confidence
and kindness, love begets love. Resist
and you will be resisted. To meet the
aggressive assault every entity rises
rigid and impenetrable, while yonder
mountain Of granite melts and floats
away on the bosom Of the river Of
love.-N. w. Zimmerman, in Wild.
wood Philosophy.

Newspaper men are perhaps, as a
rule, the recipients Of fewer words OF
encouragement and commentator
than any other class Of citizens, says
the PlattSmouth (Neb. J Journal. 1t is
considered popular and just the thing
with many individuals to criticlse the
press, and the general public give
hearty approval to such a course.
Meanwhile the average newspaper
man goes right along building up his
town and making business for his
friends and enemies alike, and never
fails to bestow help and approval on
every person and enterprise that Is in
the least manner deserving.

The coyote industry is said 10 be as.
suming definite proportions in certain
localities Of the state. Old females
are guarded about as carefully as COWS,
the 9bject being to secure the bounty on
the ipcrease which is several times the
amount the scalp and hide Of the old
one will bring. This is an abuse Of
law which is hardly correct In prlncl-
pie. The public ought not be COM
PEELED to pay a man for protecting his
own property. No sane man Is going
TO sit idly by while animals are de-
stroying the fruits Of his industry.
Wild animals are not so numerous
now that they cannot be kept at bay
without paying premium for their
slaughter.

Last year Phillips county had a can
didate for judge and one for congress.
1t was considered that the county
wanted too much and one, the judge
was sacrificed as the politicians de-
creed it should be. Next year, the
county will have candidate for SEN
ator and one for congress. Will the
county be asking too much again, and
If so which must go? The fat, of the
big l am, has not yet gone forth.
