Royce FIOps.

Last week the Dispatch in strong
two column editorial hoists the Hoch
banner and condemns the machine.
The former was to be expected; the
latter is hard to understand. Whether
he is sincere in the move does not
matter. Hoch will carry the county
just the same. Whether 1t is the part
of good politics to turn down the
whole state ticket is another matter.
Bailey is an unpopular official and he
could be turned down not to the detrl-
ment but to the benefit Of the repub-
lican party In Kansas. Many Of the
other officials, all, with the possible
exception Of one or two are POPULAR
and COMPETENT, and to turn them
down would mean a serious blow to
the republican party. 1t is true
that to turn one down and not the
Others would be disgrace from which
that one could probably never recover,
but 1t Is also true that that one is al
ready SO disgraced In the public eSti
nation, else such a successful fight
could not have been waged against
him at the present time.
1t is now evident that Bailey can
scarcely hope to be. renominated and
the hopes and aspirations OF the ma
chine so far as he is concerned are
shattered. SIS
But the machine has not given up
the fight, nor will 1t do so until the
contest has been fairly aud Squarely
determined. With Bailey out Of con
Slderation some other champions must
be discovered and new plans worked
out. Should a new set Of state officers
be elected throughout, the machine
expects to win some or perhaps all Of
them. In losing the governor, the
chief position, the winning OF the OK
ecutive council is the next objective
The prestige OF the council Is scarce
ly less than that OF governor. Thii
has been held during the past two
years by the antl-machine crowd
while the machine has had the execu
tive himself. II the anti crowd wir
the executive and lose out on thu
council the two crowds will still exlS
only they will have exchanged places
The machine deems this better thar
extinction.
The plans Of the machine are h
gain all it can, hoping to win bacl
lost prestige In future campaigns
The antis to win must whip the ma
chine on every point. The question
is still the same,-Lelandssm or not
probably not however.
Royce's flop is an index to the con
templated action Of the machine.

Too Much For One Set, Boys.

The Kirwin Kansan last week tells
its readers that the central committee
at its meeting decided to elect dele
gates at the county convention on the
the "a of February, to attend the state
congressional and senatorial conven-
lions and that one set Of delegates is
to attend all three. This may have
been the purport of the motion made
and carried at that meeting but some
of the committeeman who voted for
the motion did not so understand 1t
and would not have voted In favor Of
such a procedure. Probably one set
OF delegates could do the work as well
as three but 1t is hardly fair to saddle
so much expense upon them and ask
so much OF their time when there are
so many others just as patriotic as
they and who can act as well. We
think you misunderstood the action
OF the committee.

tellin' the new hired man the other day

a son named Joe, the LATEST boy ever
set eyes on. He wouldn't work. Money
couldn't hire him to work, except just
when he wanted to. Finally the old
man says, Joe, I'm goin' to make
gentleman out Of you. From now on
you're not to do one stroke OF work,
an if. ycu do I'll thrash you.' Well,
Joe forgot that an one day when the
whole farm was hustlin' to get in some
hay before it rained the boy went out
to the field to help. The old man see
him at work an he comes down the
field on the run. See here, he says,
didn't / tell you not to work? You'll
spoil your clo'es an get your hands all
rough. Remember what told you?
An he took the boy over to the fence
corner an If he didn't tan his hide I'll
miss my guess. But 1t didn't do no
good. Next week his brother an him
was goin' fishin', an Joe pitched in an
helped his brother. The old man
caught him again an Joe was sore for
a week. That made Joe mad an he
began to work on the sly just to show
his pa he could work If he wanted to.
You know the old man would see the
work done an know that the hired
man didn't do ii, an Bill-that was
Joe's brother-didn't do it, so Joe must
have done 1t, but he wouldn't thrash
him unless he caught him at 1t. so Joe
got to doin' more an more without the
old mans findin' it out an boy can
do heap when he thinks he oughtn't
