Burton.

Burton, with all his faults, was
always level headed on the leading
questions of the day and was al
ways fearless iu their advocacy.
When the Republicans of Kansas
were going crazy by the score on the
silver question, Burton showed his
wisdom by staying by the gold
standard and raising his voice in
favor of honest money. He never
had anything to appologlse for or to
take back on the money question as
thousands of Kansas Republicans
had.
When the Cuban reciprocity
treaty came up for discussion and
the newspapers were fnll of harrow
ing stories of the suferings of the
Cubans and platform orators with
fearful eyes, told of the moral obi
cations of this government to the
Cubans and our public men gener-
ally favored the treaty while emo
tional Kansas, almost with one
accord shouted for Cuban recipro-
city. Burton alone of all our public
men stood unmoved against the
popular clamor and denounced the
move as a deep laid scheme of the
sugar refiners to make a mint OF
money.
Time and experience have shown
again TINT Burton was right and the
people were wrong Yet with all
his wisdom and all his power of
eloquence he has shown himself
to be a weak man and must retire
from public life.

Convicted.

Senator Burton, the meteor;c
statesman who has so many times
thrilled the hearts of Kansas Re-
publicans by his logic and his
eloquence, stands before the Ameri-
can people today, a disgraced and
degraded man.
Mr.. Burton is man of great
ability as reasoner and as an ora
tor, but he seems to lack that very
essential element of manhood,
honor. He seems to be void Of
that moral sense of right and wrong
when applied to his own actions.
He can make wonderfully
strong plea on the platform for a
higher moral plane of action, politi-
cally and otherwise, and exhort his
hearers to higher plane of thought
but don't seem to have moral cour
age to live up to his own ideals.
He was convicted of taking a fee
from a fraudulent concern in ST.
Louis for using his influence in the
post Office department at Washing
ton to protect the interests of this
company. He is subject to a
heavy fine, Imprisonment and ex
pulsion from his high Office and to
be barred from holding any federal
Office hereafter.
He has asked for new trial and
will take an appeal to superior
court if it is not granted. 1t is not
likely that a new trial will be
granted and not likely that his ap
peal will gain him much more than
a little longer time in the senate.
He is to be pltied for his weak
ness. But the greatest pity is due
his noble and self sacrificing wife
who has stood by him through al
his troubles and ever turned dea
ear to evil reports. She has
shown herself noble woman and a
devoted wife and is deserving ot
the heart felt sympathy of generous
Kansas people.

The Equinoxal.

The storms of the equinox this

Portions of our state had very

Our neighboring states seemed to

The northern states had several
storms of wind and rain. One town
in Northern Indiana was badly

killed. The cold wave that follow
ed the perturbatlons was little
