SENATOR BURTON AGAIN.

It is no great surprise to Kansas
people that evidences of additional
crime involving Doodle have been
found against the senior Kansas SEN
ator. Mr.. Burton is too we'll known
to most Kansas people for the dis
closures just made in connection with
the Chickasaw school fund warrants
to startle them.
Burton's record for many years be-
fore he was elected United States sem
ator was corrupt. He and Tom Kelly
belong to the same school of politics.
Corruption of this kind with them is
not the result of a single strong temp
tation-it is the result of a studied
purpose. In the one instance the
crime is committed under strong
pressure, and after it is committed
the sinner may repent. In the other
instance the boodler is sorry only that
he is caught He boobies in every
way possible. 1t is his nature.
1t is difficult to see how the Chick
asaw warrant crimes can enter into
the trial of Senator Burton at St.
Louis, as is intimated in the dis
patches. The st. Louis indictments
have to do only with Burton's accept
ance of fees for representing the
Rialto Securities company before the
postoftice department. The crime for
which Burton will be tried in st.
Louis was committed in st. Louis.
The Chicasaw warrants will appar-
emily have no bearing on the St. Louis
indictments except to make the Off
Gals more determined to convict.
1t would appear as though other in
dictments and other prosecutions must
follow in the Chickasaw case. There is
apparently no doubt about the $500
Burton received. That the fees receiv-
ed in the name of z. T. Burton. who is
Senator Burton's brother, actually went
to the senator might be difficult of
proof, but no proof would be necessary
in the case of the $500.
There will be no disposition on the
part of the people of Kansas to wish
Senator Burton shielded in this matter.
The people as whole demand that the
name of the state of Kansas be washed
of the stain the election of Burton has
put upon it. Burton was not the choice
of the people for United States senator
he was elected by the politicians. A
few still cling to him, the same as a few
still cling to Tom Kelly-they are much
the same crowd-but a suspicion of
faint necessarily attaches to all who dc

SAKHAIM ISLAND.

This island that is one of the points
of disagreement between the peace en-
voys is really no small affair Sakhalin
Island is $40 miles long. or longer than
from Kansas City to Denver. 1t origi-
taken by the Russians about so years
ago, when Russia was stronger than
Japan. Now that Japan has the upper
hand she sees no reason why she
should not take the island back.
Sakhalin is really one of the group of
islands that forms the F'lowery King
dom. 1t is of little value except for it's
strategical position. 1t is separated from
the Japanese island OF Yezzo by La
Perouse Strait. 27 miles wide. From
there Sakhalin extends due north $40
miles. The Siberian main land comes
within five miles of it. It divides the
Sea of Japan from the Okhotsk sea. Its
possession would therefore give Japan
string of islands entirely around the
Sea of Japan, so that it could keep Rus
STA from reaching the Pacific or Ok
hotsk sea from Vladvostok. Moreover
the mouth of the great Yalu river is
just west of Sakhalin. and batteries
placed on the island would command
the entrance to the river.
Japan, too, now has a long string of
smaller islands stretching from Yezzo
to Kamchatka. giving her command of
the Sea of Okhotsk also. 1t can there
fore be readily seen why Russia does
not desire to give up this island to en-
enemy.

ground for buffaloes in those days.
The telephone companies in south
ern Kansas are having trouble. The
farmers are persuading their linemen

year.

JAPAN's COURAGE STRONG.

President Roosevelt's appeal to the
two warning nations in behalf of peace
has made a most happy impression
upon the Japanese people, and the pa
pers of all grades are full of COM
mandatory references. This must not
be understood to mean, however, that
the nation has in any degree weakened
in its purpose to prosecute the war un-
til what are regarded as Japan's rea-
sonable demands are fully met. Taxes
are high, it is true, but at the same
time business is good and money is
fund for needed expenses without
serious difficulty. Naturally those up
on whom the financial responsibility
falls, the higher officials of the gov
eminent and the large capitalists, un-
derstand very we'll that the greatest
difficulties are liable to come after the
artificial stimulus to industry and trade
due to the war is removed while the
heavy interest charges on the war
loans necessitate the continuance of
heavy taxation; but the less intelligent,
or at least those less versed in finance,
do not bear this in mind, or if they do,
they quiet their anxieties by the hope
of a heavy indemnity from Russia

THE .oTAINT, is THERE.

The more one looks into the matter
of customs the more easily he is salts
fed that it will not do to press too
closely the habits of our ancestors. If
we reject all institutions and all benefi-
cences because they were promoted in
a manner and through causes hostile
to our present ideas of morality we
shall land in a sorry plight of bewilder-
ment. We shall run up against human
slavery, going back not more than a
few years, and we shall find colleges
and hospitals and sch ools and other
public and private blessings fostered
and stimulated by men who not only
maintained slaves for their own selfish
pleasure, but who made fortunes
traficking in human flesh. We shall
also in our own country encounter
many deeds of public benevolence con-
tributed by those who have lived in
polygamy; much to our general sor-
row, no doubt, but wholly conformable
to one of those ancient customs which
Livy thinks we should be slow to
change. Slavery and liquor selling and
habits of intoxication are all to be de-
plored. but they seem to be bound up
with the progress of our beloved coun-
try and the less we inquire into them,
and into polygamy as well, for the pur-
pose of establishing their connection
with good and charitable deeds the
better for our peace of mind--1osWell

THE OUTDOOR FOR PEACE.


Although the peace plenipotentiaries
failed to agree Wednesday, and not
withstanding the rejection by the Rus
slams Of the compromise proposed by
President Roosevelt, there is still a good
prospect for peace. 1t is evident that
the Russians are DESTROYS of ending the
war. but they are loath to make any
greater concessions than are absolutely
necessary. st. Petersburg does not pro-
pose to pay a big indemnity without
struggle. The compromise proposed by
President Roosevelt would have necessi-
tated the payment of six hundred mil
lion dollars by Russia to Japan, al
though it would have been in the shape
of purchase money for half of Sakhalin
Island, rather than as an indemnity.
Russia would have been saved the hui
initiation of buying peace, but it would
have been necessary to raise the money
just the same, and it is suspected that
that hurts Russia quite as much as the
humiliation.
From an American standpoint it
would seem that Japan has been suffi-
GENTLY magnanimous in agreeing to
President Roosevelt's proposition. The
dispatches indicate that M. White would
also agree to it were he free to do so,
but he is held back by st. Petersburg.
At the same time Russia is not ready
to break off the negotiations without a
further attempt to get together. She
will very likely try to secure further
concessions from Japan, but in case
Japan stands pat, to use a purely
American expression, it is not impossi-
BILE that the car will accede to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's compromise.
