The way the Parker men have
proceeded in New York, Massachu-
sets and Indiana shows them to
be as indiscreet as Josheph Folks
enemies in Missouri. When YOU
have to get delegation at the
end of big fat policeman's club or
behind the power of a big national
committeeman or ballot box
stuffer without regard to the rights
of the individual voter or the
rules generally observed in de-
cent community, such a delega-
ton is far more harm than good.
Judge Parker himself may not be a
bad man but his lieutenants and
his platforms are something
fierce"

SOMETHING like a dozen republi-
can editors have organized an an
tl-Curtis compact up in the First
district. Just now they think they
are opposed to Mr.. Curtis and they
have a notion to fight him. But
when the campaign begins to warm
up somebody up at Washington
will press the button, Cy Leland
will turn double flip-hop and
these republican editors will all pile
into the band-wagon like a lot of
scared rabbits run into their holes.
The average republican editor is
very closely related to the rabbit
anyhow. They have no independ-
ence and their only ambition is to
see how well and how promptly
they can obey big pulled up po-
litical boss.

PROBABLY ninety per cent of
the republican voters in Kansas
admit that the present board of
railroad commissioners, a majority
of whom are candidates for re-
election, are under complete con-
troll of the railroads and that
when a controversy arises between
a shipper and the railroad COM
panies, the shipper has no chance
for decent hearing. Yet many
of these republicans will tell you
that there is no way to correct
this injustice-that Kansas is a
republican state and the ticket is
bound to be elected regardless of
the fact that many of the candi-
dates are unfit to represent their
constituents. Isn't that a sad
comment upon the intelligence
of Kansas voters? Have we come
to such a low ebb in public affairs
that the people will tolerate any
thing and everything the poll
ticians take a notion to put up on
them? We have not yet lost con-
fdence in Kansas people. They
have awakened to their interests
before and we believe they will
come to their senses again.

A NUMBER of republican

A NUMBER of republican papers
are giving themselves a great
amount of needless trouble
Tor fear that VIM. ]. Bryan will
support Roosevelt for president if
the Cleveland element controls the
Democratic convention. They
need not worry. If the Democrats
should nominate a man whom Mr..
Bryan can not conscientiously
support, he will not jump out of
the frying pan into the fire by
supporting Roosevelt. But theDem-
ocrats will not nominate a repub-
lican for president and Mr.. Bryan
will be found on the side of the
people this year as usual.

SEVERAL daily papers report
that Judge D. M. Dale will
accept the Democratic nomination
only on condition that VIM. R.
Hearst is nominated for president.
He figures that the chances for
carrying Kansas with Hearst head
ing the national ticket would be
good while a man like Parker
would be a serious handicap.
The Wichita Beacon, however,
denies this report although it adj
mits that Dale is very favorable
to Hearst.
