Mr.. Bryan'S Gain in Prestige,

The Kansas City Sar of recent da'e contains
the following editorial
''The MI. Bryan who is sailing from Eng
land tor New York is decidedly different per-
son. in the estimation of many people, from
the man who left the United States on Novem-
Der II. There have been no spectacular Incl
dents connected with his trip abroad. He has
made no startling declarations. But his jour
ney has revealed qualities OF character which
the public had not supposed him to possess.
"p>Fhaps the most stiikingy manifested Of
these traits was his adaptability, his readiness
to adjust himself, with good sense and dignity,
to new conditions. 1t had been general i'm
preston in the United States that MIR. Bryan
was distinguished by a certain rigid narrow
ness which would hinder, if it did not permit,
his mental growth 1t was assumed that he
could hardly associate on friendly terms with
men of opposing views, and that he was large
ly cut off from progress by bis belief III the de.
pravity of the leaders who combatted him.
His partisanshp had always been so aggressive
that it had been supposed, too, that he could
never realize the primary claims OF his Ameri-
carism.
ct is on these points that his stay in Eu-
rope has caused revision of opinion. He sat
at table with some of the most eminent meu of
England and the continent. He showed no
aversion to expanding his own horizon by
meeting them. When he observed that his
STYLE of dress made him conspicuous, he alter
ed it to conform with the requirements of the
European standard. He made a handsome
public acknowledgment of the fine qualities
aud sturdy Americanism OF the Republican
diplomats whom he met aud his speech before

ANOTHER HORRIBLE WRECK.

A Rock Island passenger train ran into
stock train about five miles west of Topeka,
Wednesday morning, at O'Clock. Nineteen
persons wee kld, and score or more were
seriously injared Many cattle were killed.
The passenger train was running at the rate
of sixty-6ve miles an hour, and the freight
train at thirty miles.
The passenger conductor had received orders
to pass a stock trainIat Willard, and he did pass
train there, but failed to notice the number on
the engine His train pursued it way, but met
another train. The two trains were only 200
feet apart when the engineers discovered each
others headlight. They reversed their engines,
and the train men men jumped. One of the
passenger conductors legs was broken He
was the only rain man hurt.
The smoking car and the baggage car were
new and strongly built, and nobody was hurt.
The Pullman passengers were unhurt. Those
who were killed or seriously hurt were in au
old, rickety, ilmsy car, according to reports.
Railroad companies should be compelled TO
build better and stronger cars

HOW THE MIGHTY HATH FALLEN!

Poor Ed Hoch!.--a man who, though we diff
fer from him in politics, we had been led to be-
lieve was conscientious, honest and fearless.
In the midst of the political corruption which
now disgraces Kansas, we had concluded that
if Republican must succeed our present nam
by.pamby, rng-ruled governor, we would pre-
fer Ed Hoch to any other man in his party.
Joseph W. Folk, in opening his campaign for
the governorship of Missouri, declared that he
felt honored by the bitter opposition of every
booder in the state These were brave words,
and gave courage to every lover of honest gov
eminent in all the states of the Union.
We were led to believe that Hoch would be-
come not only the leader of the decent element
OF his party, but of thousands of independent
voters who love principle more than party, ana
who are willing and anxious to rally TO the sup
port of any candidate who would make an hon
est, brave and urreenting fight for pure gov
eminent. We had hoped that Hoch might be
to Kansas what Folk is to Missouri. In fact,
his own frequent denunciation Of boss rule in
Kansas led the people to believe that he would,
in the coming campaign, be their leader in an
honest, brave fight tor righteousness IN govern
ment But his letter declining the honor
shows that he is not the kind of man we had
supposed him to lie. 1t was the mistake OF his
life. 1t pleased his enemies, but did not COM
mand their respect. 1t made his od-time
friends sick at heart to see their idol take to the
brush, politically, before the first gun was fired.
Ed Hoch, you are politically back number
The very men who were pleased by your recent
letter will be on hand when the time arrives for
the election of the next state printer, and rele
gate you to the rea-, as they did when the pres
ent state printer was chosen.
The people respect brave, fearless man,
even though they differ from him, but they
have righteous contempt for a dodger.
LATER-HOCH WILL. RUN.
Just as we 60 to press, we learn that I'd Hoch
has recalled his decination, and has decced 10
be candidate. So decency may prevail, after
all. We hope so, anyhow.

don't see,' said he, chow those in authority
ever allowed the legislature to break so far
away from de.ency. While | was governor, |
tried in every way to guard the public treasury,
and cut many an appropriation IN two in order
to keep the budget of state expenses down to
something like reasonable sum; and even
then, some Of them worked me. If it were
not for he bumper crops and the fact that it
will be a pres lential year, the opposition might
make the last Legislature, with its expenses,
blunders, and even worse the sole issue, and
our fellows would have an uphill fight to
beat it.--Tope Sa Capital.

THE MAIL AND BREEZE LAYS DOWN."

Tom McNeal says:
"We have said nothing that we did not be-
lieve to be true, and at this time, we are Of the
same opinion we were at the time of writing
the articles in question.
"We have nothing to take back or apologize
for, either now or any time during the coming
campaign.
"We have been honestly of the opinion that
the powers in control needed ambasting, and
have attempted to do as honest and fair job
OF lambasting as we knew how.
POSSIBLY we may have done some of the
gentlemen connected with the political machine
an Injustice, but we do not think so.
eve have had our say, and hope by this
time that our readers have toerably clear
idea as to what our opinion is. That being the
case, we may drop politics to a very consider
able extent. We have talked Kansas politics
until we are trife weary, anyway.
"Under the circumstances, we feel degree
Of lassitude. For this .eason, we expect to

SOME of the daily papers tell us that wal be-
tween Russia and Japan would help this country
by raising the prices of commodities, by reason
of the great demand. Doubtless, it would help
aud other things the warning nations need but
the prices of commodities are already too high
for the working people to reach, and if the
prices are raised any higher they will be pre-
hibtive. War only helps those who do not
need help.

one cent directly or indirectly. Fur
thermore, the state committee has
received no suggestion whatever
from Butler that he intends to con.
tribute. It's lie from beginning to
end" This was the statement OF
Judge Evans, chairman Of the sta te
Democratic committee, to a reporter

concerning the story that sd" But.
ler had contributed to the state cam
paign fund and would lend his influ-
ence to the ticket headed by Josph
w. Folk.
"If Butler should send contribu-
tion to the committee, what action
would be taken?" Judge Evans was
asked.
"His check or money would be
promptly returned" was the positive
answer.
"The Democratic state committee
wants none OF Buffers money. l
have instructed the treasurer OF the
state committee that should a check
be sent by Butler to refer the matter
to me in order that it may be re-
turned by the chairman OF the COM
mittee."

port the Democratic ticket and had

years ago. Since the beef trust, the

top notch, the average man and wo

great deal more to keep up the stand

and trust prices are an obstacle that
