New York, N. Y, Oct. 15.-Editor In
dependent: In no state OF the union,
at least in the east. has such yigoro as
and efficient work been done during
this campaign in perfecting a state
organization as in New Jersey. This
most encouraging situation is due to
tue wisdom and care with which the
New Jersey state executive committee
of the peoples party laid out plan
of canvass and campaign in their state.
Inc movement in that state has been
a revelation not only in the rapidity
of it's growth but in the character OF
the men that have espoused it.
The candidate for governor, Hon.
George A. Honnecker Of Jersey City,
is young man who has been demo-
crat all his life, having been an en-
thusiastic advocate Of Bryan in 1886
and 1900, but who declined to follow
the lead of commercial politicians, such
as Belmont and Hill. into the Wall
ctreet camp. -

HEALTH FIRST.

1t is q a commentary On the ply
sique of our young men, says the
that Of 1879 candidates
who passed the mental examination
the naval academy this year, ia
were rejected because they did no
come up to the physical standard.
1t appears easier to produce good
students than students who are good
specimens physically. Athletes are
not necessarily healthy subjects; in
fact most of them overdo and devel-
OPP weaknesses. What we need is
more rational attention to the COM
nonsense laws Of health.
No amount of book-learning is
worth much without the foundation
of good health, and at the pace most
of us are living these days good
health is bound to be the exception
instead of the rule. You can find
half a dozen scholars ito person
who gives any thought to the preser-
walton of his health. The average per-
son goes on the principle of abusing
his health and relying on medicine
IN Av him m incfnod Of Huin0 in n
way to forestall sickness.
/ have just heard of a doctor who
told one of his patients who was suf-
fering from stomach trouble due to
the ice-water habit, to eat everything
he pleased, and that he would give
him some medicine to digest it. This
is typical of a prevailing notion
namely that we can sin against ma
ture unrestrained and then get absolu-
ton by swallowing a few pills, tt
Is it any wonder that so many of
us are physical wrecks or that we
feel lost without our bottle of medi-
cine as Mrs. Camp would have been
without her convenient bottle Of bit
tiers.
OF course much of this trouble is a
result Of our insanely fast way of IL
wing. No one thinks of letting the
matter of his health interfere with
his work, until he sees the grave
staring him in the face. The grind
of our boosted mode of existence re-
quires us to be at a certain point ev-
cry day at a certain time, regardless
of how we may feel. And is it not
likely that a days work done when
we r physically under the wealth
er" takes many days to the end of
our life?
Work is natural and wholesome,
and under right conditions is a pleas
ure to any normal person, but there
are times when it is a sin. OF course
we all have the idea that the world
would stop turning If we stopped
and it is this responsibility that
weighs us down. l suppose we must
all obey our fate and continue taking
ife thus seriously. myself contin-
uously preach against working SO
hard. burt am one of the worst posi-
BILE offenders. Like the boatman above
Niagara. l continually promise my
self that | will be able to stop a ltr
tie later.
Meanwhile. however. while we are
tearing down the rapids toward our
quietus. 1t does pay to keep our wits
about us and to riot away as little
of our strength as possible. We can
live very pleasant and useful lives
without knowing all about the diff
ferential and integral calculus. provid-
ed we husband our store Of health;
but squander that divine resource
and there is little left to interest us.
STOP THAT COUGH.

RALPH II. FAXON, Senator Longs
private secretary, was one of the
speakers at the meeting of the Kansas
day Club, otherwise known as an
organization of young Kansas republi-
cans, at Topeka last Friday night.
Ralph talked on Kansas" and in
dealing with the political phase of the
subject he took occasion to dub the
populist era as time of "Fanaticism
and Desperation" and employed other
antemperate terms of the same charac-
ter. Without going into details to
show wherein the gentleman IS awav
OH or his base, is it not pertinent to
observe that there never was a time
when the state was involved In so
many scandals and dIsgraces as it Is
right now when the republicans con-
arol the whole works? The stencil Is
so great that even a majority of the
republicans have turned to rend the
party, and the Governors picture has
already been turned TO the wall. State
expenses are just twice as great cow

cism and deportation" reigned, and the
people regardless of party lines would
like to have one Of these "fanatics'' in
: the governors Office-towit w. A.
a Harris. Even republicans high up in
the party says that a man like Harris
as needed in the state house to right
the wrongs committed by Gov. Bailey
: and the political machine which used
him and thus accomplished his political
ruin. Mr.. Faxon Is brilliant young
man and perhaps has a great future
before him, but his great fault lies in
the fact that he very often speaks
before he thinks, mixes too much
political vitriol and unwarranted abuse
in his otherwise we'll worded sentences.

APPROPRIATIONS AND BOSSES.

The Wichita Eagle is thro wing dust
in the eyes Of its readers. It alleges
that the raid on Governor Bailey Is due
principally to the increase in state
taxation. Then it alleges that the
Increase was all right. Finally it holds
that If the increase was all wrong.
Governor Bailey could not be held
responsible. The governor, it SAYS.
was confronted with the certain knowl
edge, that If he vetoed the appropria
ton bills the state institutions must
suffer. It pictures the wave of indig.
nation that would sweep over Kansas
If any governor even when assured of
extravaganza should veto such a bill
and leave the state institutions without
the means of support.
First and foremost, there has been
no charge in Kansas of extravaganza
10 dealing with the state Institutions
The people of Kansas are generous to
their public institutions. If the great
increase in taxation has been due to
increasing demands on the part of the
schools. the reformatories, the penal
institutions and the charities, there
would be no voice Of protest raised in
Kansas. Unfortunately for this kind
of a defense OF the Kansas machine, it
is not possible to show that the increase
in taxes was due to the increase i'm
the demands Of the state institutions.
The Leland machine has been in power
in Kansas since 1899. Between 1899
aud 1904 the total increase In expendi-
lures, including the cost of new build
ings, was $437 900. During the same
period the amount of taxes taken from
the people for state purposes increased
from 81, 400 600 in 1899 to 50, 500 600, in
1904. Here was an increase of ST., 100, 900
or. roughly, an increase of 70 per cent.
In the same time the increase in the
amount expended for the institutions
figures but 80 per cent. The increase
in taxes was 81, 100, 600; the increase In
institutional expenses was $437, 600;
the difference is 1868 900; it is this
difference the people want to know
about. The charge Is that the poll
ticians running the affairs of Kansas
have been profligate with expenditures
which may be classed as spoils, and
even niggardly with expenditures which
were actually needed.
No one has arraigned Governor
Bailey for not vetoing this or that ap.

POLITICAL NOTES.

| Observations by the Kiowa News
Review, the most widely read republi-

Every one of the three hundred employees OF
the last legislature is enthusiastic for the ma.
chine. The only difference is In the degree OF
enthusiasm-that apparently is governed by
the amount drawn out of the public treasury.

Billie Morgan would not announce the Hoch
meeting at Hutchinson for love or money. In

victory ever won in Kansas politics in Reno
countrywide without love or price.

the county. principally at Medicine Lodge.
Kiowa and HazeltoH. Judge Rice is promot-

ring-rule republicans in the county will be
held at the county seat later on.

ties. the Barber county machine is a very in.
significant auxiliary of the state machine
