The fight in the democratic party
for control of the national org aniza-
tion is on in good earnest at last.
The state convention in Iowa this
week seems to have set the pace. The
test is apparently to be made on the
question of endorsing the Kansas
City platform, it being understood
that to endorse the platform means to
endorse the silver plank, and to re-
pudiate the platform means to endorse
the gold standard. In the prelimi-
nary skirmishes it looks as though
the gold standard people had cinch.
1t looks now as though the silver
question would remain in the hack
ground indefinitely. Times have
changed since 1896 and campaigns
must be fought on new issues. The
great disturbing factor of modern
civilization is trusts and corporations
VS.. organized labor, and in some
shape shis will be the issue in 1904.

The rottenness developing in the in
vestigation of post Office affairs in
Washington is causing the republican
politicians a great deal of uneasiness.
They are getting into print with
stories to the effect that crime is nom
partisan and that in this investigation
it is found that both democrats and
republicans are involved and that
they are being dealt with regardless
of their pulls, etc. All of which means
that we must not charge up the rotten
condition of affairs in the post Office
department to the republicans, as all
of the criminals are not of that politi-
cal faith. Theye must mostly be of
that faith from the fact that we have
had only two presidential terms filled
by democrat since the war: hence
most of the federal Office holders are
republicans. There is Doodle in
vestigation going on over in Missouri
in state affairs. and as every one
knows that Missouri is democratic We
naturally look for our republican
friends to follow their own lead and
insist that there is no politics in
crime. But in this case the shoe is
on the other foot and they view with
horror the evidences of depravity in
the democratic party, entirely over
looking the fact that some of the
boodlers are republicans. Consis-
tency is not republican virtue. Q

few laws passed that will enable
counties to reconstruct their bridges
and then for the legislature to adjourn
and go home without presenting any
bills for mileage or service. We are
told that he hesitated in making the
call until he had received the person
al pledges of the members. This
seems rather ridiculous in view of
the recent calamity. The question of
n session should be determined on the
question of whether the suffering
people could be sufficiently benefited
by legislation to justify the session
and not on the question of paying a
few dollars to members. The state
can afford to pay its servants and
the governor should not be playing
the baby act. 1t is quite noticeable
that the fellows who are rushing in
to print and telling how anxious
they are to serve the state without
pay are as rule drawing fat sal
aries in some appoinuive nosition
while also serving the state as a
a member of its law making body.

need next year to promote his cleo
ton, remains to be seen. And there
are thousands of populists like Edwin
Taylor who are simply waiting to
see whether Wall street is for Roose-
welt or against him, before deciding
how they will line up next year, in
case the Cleveland gold-standard ele-
ment should control the democratic
convention then.
OF course, if Tom L. johnson or
Joseph w. Folk should be the demo-
cratic candidate, we shall all be the
straightest kind of democrats for that
campaign. To a large extent, the
man is going to be the platform with
US. If we are for Roosevelt it will be
on account of what he has, done-and
not at all on account of what the re-
publican platform may say. And
still more fully will it be true, if we
are found supporting johnson or
Folk. that it is on account of what
they have done-and not for what the
democratic platform may or may not
say. Parties are only means to ends;
and the time past suffices us in which
to have fallen down and worshipped
at the shrine of some great historic
organization. 1t is glorious thing
to feel independent enough to support
the man whose honesty and devotion
to principles we believe in, commend
him to us regardless of party lines.

A bill will be introduced in the leg
islature this week asking that the
name of Kansas City, Kansas, be
changed to WyandOtte. This is all
wrong, but is perhaps the best that
can be done under the circumstances
as our legislature cannot enact laws
for Missouri. If it were possible a
law should be enacted changing the
name of the Missouri city as the
name rightfully belongs to our own
state and is very confusing to people
in the east who naturally associate
the name of Kansas City with the
state of Kansas.

A Populist View.

The following article from the pen
of ex-senator Young of Montgomery
county will interest many of our
populist readers:
At Sioux Falls two years ago, the
elitor of the Wellington Voice, like
the editor of the Populist, was one
of the delegates to the Populist Ma
tional convention. AS remember it
then, he was good deal disguised at
the surrender made to the democracy
in the nomination of Mr.. Bryan as
the populist candidate for president,
and declared that nothing would ever
induce him to join the the democratic
ranks. In the last issue of his paper,
however, I find him saying:
Bryan and the great mass of his
followers will stand for the same
principles they have in two cam
paigns. The banner they sail under
will in all probability be the regular
democracy. Whatever it is, it is the
duty of all lovers of the country to
join it.
This expression occurs in the course
of an editorial taking the ground that
nothing good can ever be expected
from the republican party, and that
those who for a moment imagine that
Roosevelt is trying to hurt the trus is
are victims of misplaced confidence
Incidentally he informs editors who.
like the writer. have suggested that a
contingency might arise in which they
would support Roosevelt, that such
expressions will rise up to shame
them before a year has gone by. And
he tells us that,
There is absolutely nothing to hope
for from any republican administra-
zion. Cleveland and his last admin
istration were damnab e because they
were republican.
OF course there is no denying the
| fact that the great trusts and cOmbi-
nations of capital in this country
have been for years furnishing the
sinews of war for the republica n
party. They have deemed it wiser for
their own interests to throw their in
fuence and their cash into the Sc ale
in its behalf. And republican ad-
ministration and republican con-
gress have, as a rule, seen things
through their spectacless and done the
things they wanted done. The only
| democratic president and the only
democratic administration we have
had in forty years have done the
same thing. There is something
about the atmosphere of Washington
that has proved noxious to legisla-
ton in the interest of the people, as
well as inimical to the enforcement OF
laws made In their interest.
