For the first time since Judge Lester
began active work on the Cresset and
contributed the only merit to it that
1T possesses, the sheet last week paid
him compliment. This recalls the fact
THAT the judge about year ogo asked
for the nomination for probate judge in
q republican convention but the INA
chine" including the organ thereof,
couldn't see him. Another convention
swlll be held before so very long and if
the party wants to reward one of it's
ablest newspaper men and one of its
most faithful workers, ir could do it
10y nominating Judge Lester. He
worked day and night during the last
campaign. did most of the editorial
work on the Cresset and has been very
poorly paid. But we presume when
the next convention rolls around it will
be the same old story. Men of
ability ike Judge Lester won't be
recognized. The only criticism the
Index has to offer on the Judge is that
he is too good and too intelligent q
IMAM to mix with such an outfit.

HOCH UPRISING.
Eight Hundred Anti-Machine RepubIi.
cans Held Conference in Topeka
Last Week. HOch a Candidate.

The machine in Kansas no longer
regards the Anti Bailey and anti-ma-
chine sentiment as joke. There was
tremendous demonstration at the
National hotel ia Topeka last week
attended by eight hundred republicans
who have grown weary of machine"
methods, to urge E. w. Hoch of
Marion to stand for the nomination
for governor in opposition to Gov.
Bailey. Mr.. Hoch had heretofore de-
clined to permit his name to be used
but the pressure of public sentiment In
his party was 80 great that he co uld no
longer stand out without estranging
the friendship of his closest friends.
and he yielded. The daily papers and
men who attended the meeting say that
it was the greatest political demonstra-
ton that Kansas has seen for many
days. Nearly every county was repre-
sented and from every one came the
news that the republicans want to
down the machine.
Barber county was represented by
Oscar HaberleIn of the Kiowa News.Re.
view. w. G. Millar OF this city was
also In attendance but he was not in
sympathy with the movement.
The nomination OF Mr.. Hoch would
doubtless be great reform within the
republican ranks but the Index does
not believe that it can be accomplished.
1t is doubtless true that fully eighty
per cent OF the republicans of Kansas
are for him but the bosses are against
him and that's what counts in a repub
lican convention. With the officeholders
and the state committee for Bailey he
he will win. It has been q long time
since the people had voice in a re-.
publican convention.
Yet it promises to be an interesting
contest. There will be another meet.

FACTS ABOUT TARIFF.

Republican newspapers are not boast
ing about the fact that bituminous coal
went back to the the dutiab.e list on
January Is. They don't want the tariff
question agitated. Neither do the
trusts. For the ten months ending last
October, during the whole of which
period the suspension of the duty was
operative, the exports of coal from the
United States we're 1924 ,948 tons, COM
pared with 4.526, 1867 for the same por-
tion Of 1902. and with 1854 1924 tons
in 1901. That is, the exports in
creased over 10000 tons in 1908, when
the duty was suspended. The imports
of coal into the United States in the
first ten months Of 1903 were 1885,, 631
tons, compared with 1,759. SOL in the first
ten months of 1902, aud 1871 ,84S tons
in the corresponding period of 1901.
All parts of the country have received
benefit from free coal, but the Pacific
Coast has probably been most benefit
ed. The opportunity to bring inward
cargoes of coal instead of sailing in
ballast has made it possible for the
merchant vessels docking az Pacific
ports to cut grain freights eight and
ten cents per bushel, as compared with
the rates for 1902. In that way the
coming of ships which free coal has
invited has. it is calculated, added 81
600. 900 to the profits of the farmers of
the Pacific Northwest, and probably as
much TO the profits of tie lumber men.
The greatest good to the greatest num-
Der requires that coal remain on the
free list; the welfare of the coal
trust requires that the duty of 81 cents
per ton be replaced. This is trust
Congress and the duty goes back on.
Speaking of the coal trust reminds
me of the fact that on January 4, the
United States Supreme Court advanc-
ed the case of the Interstate Commerce
Commission VS.. David Baird, and set
the hearing for March z. This case
was instituted at the instance of w.
r. Hearst, land INVOLVES the right of the
commission to compel the anthracite
coal carrying roads to produce contracts
with the coal companies. and to en-
force replies TO questions. It is not
the fault of MIR. Hearst that this OBJ
nOxiOus trust was not broken last year,
and that the people are not now getting
coal at competitive and reasonable
prices. CHARLES A. EDWARDS.

1t begins to look as though the
fight against the railroad commission
is inspired by selfish interest rather
than public spirit. The present rail-
road commission is rather independ-
ent body and it has been proved more
than once that it is thoroughly respect
ed by the railroads. Moreover this
talk about the uselessness OF the rail
road commission is all nonsense. The
commission does a valuable service
and more than earns Its salary in
Correcting abuses, by forcing publicity
on matters that would otherwise be
covered up by the railroad corpora
tions by calling attention to dangers
that would grow into serious wrongs
if allowed to grow and continue.
There appears to be niger in this
woodpile and it isn't white niger
