GOvERNoR HANLY.

Governor J. Frank Haniy of Indiana,
who leetured in Topeka some fine ago
and brought Kansas a message on the
pass evil and law violation in general
which was the right kind of doctrine,
continues to make himself felt in the
Hoosier state the same way Folk is
doing in Missouri. Haniy is a good ex-
ample of a governor with backbone.
Here are some new things the Rams
Horn tells of him editorialiy this week:
Another governor entitled to rank
with Folk in courage and upright con-
yiction is Hanly of Indiana, whose
communication recently appeared in The
Rams Horn He has been compelled to
remove a fellow named Kruger from
office because the latter refused to ex-
ecute the laws regulating the saloon
traffic in Michigan City. Ills excuse
was that he thought the citizens should
be allowed to decide how police matters
should be conducted. law or no law.
and referred to privileges they had en-
joyed under previous administrations.
Governor Hanly took occasion to say
a few things that should get under the
hide of the most thick skinned man who
ever assumed a public duty and shame
iessly failed to perform it. Kruger was
Informed that under the present admin
istration there are no privileges"
and then he was jolted by the forcefuI
reminder that no executive officer has
a right to do any thinking as to the
propriety or wisdom of existing laws.
This is the chief point in Governor
Hanly's sharp reprimand. Krueger's
offense lay chiefly in his thinking He
thought Michigan City should not be
amenable to the laws of the state if he
thought the people wanted something
else, if he thought that business in
terests' would suffer through strict en-
forcement of the laws. Kruger, on his
own admission, was first of all a dry
goods merchant. A 'wide-open' policy
appeared to help his business. This
business made him totally unfit for the
office of police commissioner. Governor
Hanly asks of all the executive officers
of the state that the laws be impartially
and faithfully executed. He asks that
the legislature be permitted to do the
thinking and that the executive Off
Gals do the acting. He believes that
business interests never do require a
'wide-open town, but, on the contrary,
that such license does both material and
moral damage to any community"

A BETTER COMPARIsON

A few days ago the Ottawa Re
public asked what ticket William Allen
White would support if the Democrats
should happen to nominate Folk for
president next year and the Republicans
nominate Fairbanks. The Belleville
Freeman comes forward with the point
that this isn't a fair comparison. The
Emporia editor, along with good many
other people, is such a well-known ad-
mirer of the Missouri governor that his
sympathies would probably be with
Folk, and the Freeman makes the point
that Folk should be compared with
some man more nearly like him.
THAT is great question to ask an
honest man, now isn't it, says the
Freeman. TT is equivalent to asking
him are you for the fellow who has the
courage of his convictions and the right
kind of convictions or are you for the
one who is known for what he has not
done. In justice to Will White we
would suggest that you ask him if the
Democrats should nominate Joe Folk
and the Republicans Joe Bristow which
would he support. Then you will have
asked him some thing that is really diff
ficult to answer

sEoUOYAH.

Just what the advocates of separate
statehood for the Indian Territory, who
have been in session at Muskogee, can
possibly gain by their movement is not
evident. An unprecedented considera-
ton of the subject shows that the OBJ
ject for which they are striving is i'm
practicable, and by their opposition to
Oklahoma they may keep themselves
out of statehood altogether.
The proposed state of Sequoyah is an
impossibility. Sequoyah is the name
selected by the Muskogee convention for
the state which the advocates of sep
arate statehood are asking congress to
make out of the Indian Territory If
one will seriously compare it with other
western states it can readily be seen
that it is not entitled to admission as a
separate state.
The advocates of Sequoyah assert
that they have an area nearly as large
as Ohio and a population larger than
a number of old states. Which is true
But it is also true that it's area is not
nearly as large as that of any western
state, and its population would not
compare with any of it's immediate
neighbors.
Eastern states were formed from
colonies in the days when distances
were far and communication slow and
difficult Today Muskogee is not a
third as far from Lawton as Albany
was from New York a hundred years
ago, in point of time. Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory together will not
be as large as Kansas. Together they
will have a population nearly as large
as Kansas, but not nearly as large as
that of Texas or Missouri
The movement for separate state
hood for the Indian Territory comes
principally from those who are after
the spoils of Office and are fearful that
they will be left out in the cold in the
new state of Oklahoma. There is
every argument why the two terri
tories should come in as one state, but
no argument for two SfafeS
