REPUBLICAN ROASTS REPUBLICANS.
Will Allen White On "What Kansas Needs"
From the Topeka Herald.

From the Topeka Herald.
Will White, the author of "Whats the Mat
ter With Kansas?" has just published an edit
orial entitled "Was Kansas Bought" 1t deals
with the claim of Baking Powder Kelly, that
lie once bought the Kansas legislature.
"That kind of sneer," says White, "should
call for the s'ernest investigation. Political
bribery and corruption are no giggling matters.
There is talk under the bushes of little deals
and rake-offs in the last Legislature. There is
reason to believe that money was used there,
and that certain leaders-men of both sides
took money. There was too much slot-machine
talk-too much monkey business with the
committees on revision of the calendar in both
houses. If Governor Bailey or Attorney. Gen
eral Coleman cared to go to the bottom of this
talk that is circulating in gossip among politi-
clans in this state, there is no doubt but that
the state could be purged better than by any
other move in local politics. If, for instance,
the boss busters were sincere in their desire to
clean up the politics in Kansas, and get new
deal all around, they would look at the bills
introduced for blackmaling purposes in the
last legislature aud sIuothered. That will re-
move some of the shining lights of bossism
and OF busterism from Kansas politics, and
would form faction founded on real honesty,
and not on windy protestations of holier-than.
thouism. What this state needs so badly it is
just naturally hurting for it is for some man to
come along who is not afraid to raise hell.
He'll is under cover here; it is in both camps
the Leland camp and the Burton camp
governor or an attorney general who would
start an inquiry into boodling, and shield
neither Leland nor Burton, nor Dumont Smith
nor Pringle, if the taint should fall on either,
would make himself everlastingy popular
with the people that all the politicians with
dirty politicians with dirty fingers could not
harm hair of his head The trouble with
the boss buster movement is that it is cow
ard. The trouble with the so.called machine
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1903-07-24

element is that it isn't hunting trouble.
The pot can't call the kettle black
This is rather surprising doctrine coming
from the editor of the Gazette, who was
staunch supporter of much that was not COM
mendabe in the last legislature on the theory
that "politics is war, and wa, is hell"
But it voices the feeling that is now very
generally abroad in the state. The time has
come when the politics of Kansas should be
raised to higher plane, to the end that the
small-bore politician, with his little graft and
personal axe, should be releeated to the rear,
and the real interests of this great common
wealth should be given consideration too long
deferred.
The matter does not rest with the governor
or attorney. general. 1t is up to the people,
and unless all sigas fail, they are going to see
to it that the men who are selected for office
next year are those who stand for clean politics,
official integrity and a broader and better
standard of public service.

A Warning From Wealth
The Commoner

Inc COmmOner
The New York Post recently printed an ed
itorial entitled monopoly and Socialism" The
editor of the Post speaks of the action OF the
Socialists'in hailing "a leading Wall street or
ganizer as fellow worker in good cause"
and points out that there is really more truth
than irony in 1t. The extortion of gas, water
and lighting companies did more to accelerate
the movement in favor of municipal ownership
than all the abstract arguments that could have
been made. Aud so Morgan, Hill and other
magnates have done more to create the senti-
4nent in favor of government ownership of
railroads than either the Popuist or the Social.
ist party. The Post points the truth none TOO
strongly when it says:
"The destroyers of competition are the real
enemies of our existing social system. 1t is
they that individualsts have to dread more
than the st.eet-corner orator, or the peddler of
Socialistic literature, or the foreign enthusiasts
who have come here to organize America for
the coming revolution. Those Republican sen.
ators who are so disturbed at the growth of the
Socialist vote would do we'll to look first at
some of their own associates and their own
methods. Every man who works to create
monopoly, or who, in its name, axacts the ut-
tCtuOoI idItuluSs 10 tuC uIOSt CduClOuS pIOpdSd-
tor of Socialism known to-day"
1t is time that the Republicans who have
been blndly following their leaders should con-
slider the question: "Is competition an evil or
a good?" They cannot support monopolies
without believing that competition is an evil,
and the moment they decide that monopoly
is good, they are face to face with choice be-
tween a government monopoly and private
monopoly.
On the other hand, if the Republicans decide
that competition is good, then they must exert
themselves to protect it, for competition is be-
ing fast destroyed by organized and consentrat-
ed wealth. The Democratic party has declared
that private monopolies are indefensible and in
tolerable. Will the Republicans take the same
position, or will they hasten the issue between
public and private monopolies by permitting
the industries of the country to be gathered in
to few hands?
When paper like the Post, thick-and-thn
advocate of the inoneyed classes, begins to see
danger in the rapid growth toward private mon
opolies, it is time that the Republican organs in
the rural districts sound warning to their
party.

What is Christian Socialism?
Christian Socialism is the practicing of the
Golden Rule: "Love your neighbor as your.
SELF; "Do to others as you would have others
do to you."
Christianity is pure Socialism. No person
can be Christian without being Socialist.
The presen: competitive system is un.Christ-
ian The whole commercial system, from the
ownership of more land than one needs for the
proper use to supply necessities, to the exclus-
ion OF others from the privilege of making
homes, through the whole catalogue of natural
resources of human subsistence and comfort, is
opposed to God and 10 His eternal law of love,
and is fraught with the most mischievous and
disastrous consequences to the social system.
1t breeds every form of crime, and in it are
found the cause of all wars.
Under the universal prevalence of Christian
Socialism, "the sword would be beaten into the
plowshare, and the spear into the pruning.
hook and the nations would learn war no
moie."
Every person in the world has personal in
tereSt IN the progress and development OF
Christian Socialism, just the same as all the
members of family have common interest
in all that pertains to the welfare of the family
So all people have one common interest in
whatever affects. for good or ill., the social sys.
tenn.
Christian Socialism proposes to lessen the
burden Of society: first, by furnishing cheaper
means of subsistence and general comfort, and
second, by diminishing the burdens OF taxation
1t proposes to accomplish these desirable ends
by the public ownership Of the ways and means
Of supply of all necessary commodities.
The public school system and the public road
system and the mail system are examples of
the great benefits resulting from public owner
ship and public management.
Christian Socialism aims to secure to .very
person equal opportunity with every other
person to gain subsistence. 1t seeks to re.
move from the whole social system every in.
furious and evil thing, and to uphold right. GUS
! w and order. For the accomplishment of all
j purposes, it will seek to educate the people
and use the ballot.
Christian Socialism has the same relation TO
the competitive system that democratic ,epub
lic,nism has to despotism and pontihcates and
inonarchies.
is progress and development will mark an
tpooh ia the advancement of the human race.

The Trial of Jesus Viewed Legally.

From the Church Economist.
Interesting and unusual as an evening service
was the one held at the Bethany Presbyterian
church of New York when Walter M. Chan.
dler, esq, of the New York bar, delivered his
lecture on ''The Trial of Jesus from Lawyers
Standpoint" This lecture, while reverent and
devout in its character, is strong presentation
of the totally illegal nature of that trial. Mr..
Chandler tells, in brief and pointed fashion,
just what was the Jewish law about such trials,
and shows that almost every step taken at that
time was violation of that law. From the
Roman standpoint, the arraignment before
Herod and Plate could not be designated as
trials at all.

IF THE COUNTRY NEEDS MORE MONEY

From Hearst's Chicago American.

From Hearsts Chicago American.
We are told that the country needs more
money, and there is no doubt that it does We
have thousands of men owning millions,
and at least one man owning thousand mil
lions. 1t naturally takes good deal of money

pays the piper.
Undoubtedly, the country suffers occasion.
ally from lack Of money, but unfortunately,
also, the Aldrich- Rockefeller scheme is to let
him deposit securities of various kinds-to be
named by him-and then manufacture money
which he can use to lend at high rates through
his various banks or to buy other securities.
Sooner or later, of course, something will
have to be done about the money question, un-
less the earth shall conveniently develop new
and marvellous mines of gold. When the
United States shall contain thousand millions
OF inhabitants, or even double its present num-
Der, with an industrial system twice as elabo-
rate as to-day's, it will evidently be necessary
to increase our money proportionately.
Might not government ownership represent
solution of the money problem? Instead of
letting the banks issue money representing
various assorted securities, and letting the
banks exploit the public in interest charges,
the government could issue money representing
lien on its own property, Its railroads, etc.
This would certainly be better than for the
government to allow money to be issued with
nothing behind it except Mr.. Rockefeller's
stocks that can be pushed up or knocked down,
as he chooses.

KILLS THE MOSS ON
CRANBERRY MARSH
Accidentally Finds Method to Help Save
Cranberry Vines.


Chas. Brlere returned this week
from an inspection tour to his craL-
berry marsh at City Point. In an
interview with a representative of
the SEMI-wEEKLY REPORTER he said
that everything pointed 70 a prosper
Gus season in that section. Bissig
Eros. saved almost all their crop OF
tame cranberries and lost about 25
per cent. Of the wild. Mr.. Briere lays
the saving of his entire crop to an
accident. He says that if it had not
been for the killing of the moss early
this spring he would have lost at
least 10 per cent.
During the past winter Mr.. Briere
had his forty acres of cranberry marsh
under cover OF three feet of water.
The weather conditions early this
spring were such that he was COM
PEELED to leave it on for many weeks:
this was favorable to the growth of the
| moss and when the warm weather
came and the winter food was removed.
the heat withered and killed the moss.
The moss has always been an OBJ
stacle to the growers It holds the
warmth produced by the water, be-
meath the roots of the plants, and the
result is that they are less able to
withstand even very mild frost.
1t is probable that other growers
desiring to get rid of the moss will
make use of the method accidently
discovered by Mr.. Briere.

WOMEN AGAINST MEN
FOR PROPERTY RIGHTS
Pittsville Relief Corps and 6. A. R. Post
Appear in Court.


The case of the James S. Alban
Woman's Relief Corps VS.. James S.
Alban Post No. 73, G. A. r., of Pitts
vile, came up in circuit court this
week and was closed yesterday after
noon. Attorneys Goggins and Brazeau
appeared for the plaintiffs, and
Attorney W. E. Wheelan. for the
defendants. Twelve witnesses were
examined.
The history OF the case is in brief as
follows: July 5, 1895, Lawrence Ward,
of Babcock, sold a house and lot at
Pittsville to the G.. A. r. of that
village. Some time ago, the G.. A. r.
wanted to dispose of the property to
the |. 0. 0. f. The Woman's Relief
corps then stepped in and claimed
that they were entitled to a share in
the proceeds of the sale, because they
helped to purchase the hall. The G.
A. R., however. objected to this,
arguing that the Woman's Relief
corps never had anything to do with
the property. 1t was chiefly these
contentious that both parties tried
to establish at the trial. Judge Webb
will probable render his decision next
week.

have the finest flower garden of any
one in the city. They have two
immense Seven Sister rose bushes in

that surpasses anything we have ever
seen in the line of roses. One rose
bush stands about fourteen feet high,
seventeen feet wide and is laden
with several thousand exquisite roses,
The other bush is only about half as
large but is more thickly laden with
roses, If such thing is possible.
They are the admiration of every one
