THE GOVERNOR AND TOPEKA.

President Mills and Secretary Ander-
son of the Topeka Commercial club
were engaged in a conversation the
other evening over the election and po-
litical matters.
Major" said Mr.. Mills. don't you
think that it would be a good plan if
we as business men and as citizens of
Topeka tried to show the governors
who come here a little more honor and
more attention than we have in the
past. 1t is worth something to us to
have the governor here, a resident of
our city. We owe him greater cour-
tesy, greater respect
Yes, indeed" replied Major Ander-
son, 1--WE should do that. We have not
nearly done in that regard what we
should have DONE
President Mills suggestion is a good
one. 1t is matter that is removed
from politics, from any of the issues
which place the man in his high posi-
ton, and from all the political differ
ences which attend the choice of a
ruler.
When a governor has been elected. he
is the head of the state-the man at
the helm. Respect for him, means re-
spect for the laws which grace our
statute books.
That the home of the executive of
the state is at Topeka is something of
which Topeka should be proud. The
personality of the man is worthy of
honor, but the fact that he is governor
is worthy of greater honor. Whether
he received the vote of every citizen or
not, is immaterial and irrelevant to
the question at hand. He is governor,
and he deserves the marked and re-
cry member of the community.
Just how President Mills and Secre-
tary Anderson of the Commercial club
will realize on their suggestion is a
matter of conjecture. The whole thing
is personal with every man. But
public announcement from the official
bodies of the city as being in favor
of the idea would help a long ways
towards the desired end.

CUMBERSOME LAW.

1t is fair to estimate that $4,000
voters of Kansas were disfranchised
last Tuesday by the abominable cleo
ton law which now encumbers the
statute books of the state of Kansas.
In the city of Topeka-which is a
reasonably intelligent community-it
is estimated that 500 defective ballots
were cast out by the Judges of the
election. Topeka contains about one
fiftieth of the voting population of the
state.
The trouble is not with the people
of Kansas or the people of Topeka.
The trouble is with the law. or rather
with the political schemers who drew
the law, and drew it with the deliber-
ate intention of driving voters into
party column. The politicians who
fixed up the ubiquitous measure did
so with the expectation that great
number of scratched" tickets would
be invalidated. They put a premium
on voting her straight and the re-
suit of their heroic and patriotic eff
forts is seen in the great army of
disfranchised voters. who lost their
votes because they dared to keep out
side the circle.
Besides containing many technical
be sufficient to wipe the present law
from the statute books, the law is
radically wrong; wrong in foundation
principle; un-American in its intent.
The theory of democratic government
is that every voter shall be privileged
to vote his own sentiments. without
fear of dictation from anybody. 1t
was the purpose of the politicians who
drew the Kansas election law to COM
pei the voter to accept the dictation of
the party machine, and stifle, if posi-
BILE, all independence. A law like
this cannot stand; sooner or later it
will be changed. VIII the coming
legislature have the courage to take
the needed step?
The chief difficulty with the ballot
as now prepared is that a cross in the
circle followed by any other crosses
in the squares, invalidates the ballot.
The Colorado law allows the voter to
mark in the circle, but provides that
if any particular candidates are mark
ed on any other ticket, their votes
shall be counted.
What will ultimately be the solution
of the trouble may be the adoption of
voting machines. The voting machine
is no longer an experiment. 1t works
in actual practice and experience. 1t
will be used in every election in the
country before many years. In every
way it is quicker, simpler and more
honest. 1t does away with ignorant
election clerks and judges, who often
nullify the ballot of the intelligent
voter by their own carelessness. The
all night job of counting ballots is dis
pensed with. The costly wrangle in
the courts about defective ballots when
the vote is close is no longer possible.
When the voting is done, the election
is over, and the result is announced
within half an hour.
The sooner Kansas can get rid of
the cumbersome election law the bet
ter, whether it is able to Immediately
substitute voting machines, or whether
it must for the time being put up with
revision of the present unsatisfac-
tory system.

The mans coat had caught on the ladder below the pump station, which held him from going to the bottom, but at one time the water covered the remains.
