LET Us HAVE PEACE.
Some Kansas Editors Would Have a
Little War First.

J. ]. Mickey. editor of the Usage City
Free Press. the Burton organ of Usage
county, is for war and lots of it. He
virtually says that if his faction can
not get control of the Republican party
at the next state convention the thing
to do is to join with the Democrats in
turning down the Republican party at
the polls next November. He SAYS:
There is a wider difference today
between the factions of the Republic
can party in Kansas than there is be-
tween the Republicans and the Demo-
Gratis. 1t is of greater Importance to
the Republicans of the state-yes, to
all the people of the state-to defeat
the machine and to eradicate its cor
rupting influence from our politics
than it is to carry the state in No
vember of next year"
In commenting on this the Emporia
Gazette publishes the following:
well well. we'll. This is bad; GER
tainly this looks bad. Birds in their
little nests agree. and dogs delight to
bark and bite. but why should the
Republicans of Kansas get each other
by the ears in this shameful manner.
There are two crowds in Kansas poll
Burton. the other by Senator Long.
For the sake of argument put aside
the leaders and consider the crowds.
Both are decent fellows in the main.
There are crooks in both crowds. as
the law of averages proves there are
in all crowds: one man in every hun
dred is a scoundrel But taken as a
whole the Long crowd is an honest
crowd and the Burton crowd is a
decent crowd. There should be no diff
ferences between the crowds on the
score of morality
In the legislature one house was
dominated by the Long crowd, and the
other house (the senate) was controlled
by the Burton crowd. The laws passed
by both houses were good, honest, con-
sentative laws; in the matter of appro-
pria atoms each house is equally respon-
sible, and although a great deal has
been said of extravaganza no single in
stance of extravaganza has been shown
except in the matter of useless employees
and therein the senate was little
more foolish than the house-but heav-
ems to Betsey, no one would accuse the
Long crowd of wanting to defeat the
state ticket because the Burton crowd
got more men per capita to wait on
them in the senate than the Long fell
lows had in the house. There can be no
vital differences on that score such as
the Free Press tells about
I'm the matter of the Pringle deal the
Long men got Stanley into it, only
after the Burton fellows had tried to
get him into a similar deal to join Bur
ton in. the support of Barker There
can be no serious difference in this.
In the matter of the Kansas Mutual
receivership the receivers who belong to
the Long faction got just exactly the
amount of money for their services that
Burton was trying a few months ago
to get for Mulvane and Buttons brother

The Holton Recorder denies the oft
repeated statement that Senator c. F.
Hurrel of Jackson county, deserted
Congressman Curtis in the sena torial
race last winter. 1t says:
The assertion that in voting for Sen
ator Long, Senator Hurrel deserted Cur
tbs does Senator Hurrel injustice. Hurre1
was elected as Baker man and was
practically instructed for Baker and
doubtless would have voted for him if
his name had come before the legisla-
ture. After the election of Baker HurreI
trained with the Curtis men in this
county and continued to favor Curtis
until he (Curtis) ignored him in the
postotfice fight in this city. Senator
Hurrel wanted Peter Bryant appointed
postmaster and went to Washington 10
see Curtis in Mr.. Bryants interest, but
M. A. Low and. A. D. Walker wanted
another man and Senator Hurrel was
sat upon in very pronounced manner.
The postoffice episode occurred eight or
ten months before the senatorial cleo
stating that during these months Hurrel
never had any other intention than to
help defeat the man who had violated
all precedent and ignored his recommen-
dalton for postmaster in his home town.
Mr.. Hurrel did vote for Mr. Curtis for
ballot or two. but never went into a
Curtis caucus. Doubtless his object was
to lead stampede from Curtis to Long.
II such was his object he certainly ac-
complished it and in a measure got even

down in the second commandment

Cooper's plan is to secure the en-
dorsement of the Home Rulers for
the Office OF Governor. Carter once
had some such idea, but it seems
that his approaches to Princess
Theresa were trifle balky and fail

publican. The inference will most
naturally be that he has the support
OF that party. With Home Rule

At times might be greatly inclined to
think that it is a pity the natives do not show
some signs of dying out, like the red men OF
North America the Maoris. cynical col
onist remarked lately to the writer that soon
as the disap ppearance of the native would be
undoubted benefit in the opinion of South
Africans, he could be wiped out by letting him
at the drink. The native question may be very
serious. but there is surely some more hopeful
method than this of dealing with it. 1t may be
observed here in passing that many South At
rcans, in particular the Natalians, regard the
Indian cooe immigrants a greater menace
to the white man than the kaffirs. because the
Indian Arab has higher order of intelli-
gence, belonging s he does to the Aryan
Semitic races. The Indians have become peO-
pie tremendously in evidence in Natal. any
one knows who has ever lived in Durham or

by legal measures; but of course, being British
subjects for the most part, they will appeal to
the imperial government, and this may lead 10
more trouble for South Africa.-(Alfred A
