BURRow Fors GovERNoR.

The statesman from Smith county,
Joel r. Burrow, is casting longing eyes
towards the gubernatorial chair. Mr..
Burrows taste of politics during the
past three years and the success that
has thus far been his leads him to be-
lieve that the office of chief executive
of Kansas is not beyond his reach.
Twice has the Smith county states
man-politician would probably be more
correct-been nominated for secretary
of state without opposition. Is it any
wonder that he thinks he can also at
tain the governors office with little
careful acknowledgements OF
course, the people can be persuaded to
forget about the Comanche county bond
deal and various other matters that are
not exactly creditable to him?
The story of Mr.. Burrows ambitions
comes to the State Journal from two
different sources, both of them friendly
to the secretary of state, so there can be
no doubt about it. There is very gem
eral dissatisfaction with Governor Hoch
throughout the state. He has been a
disappointment. The people of Kansas
expected him to be such man as is
Governor Han1y of Indiana, but he falls
far short of the mark. Mr.. Burrow
therefore believes that it will be no diff
fcult task to accomplish the defeat of
Governor Hoch for denomination, and
that by the full use of political prom
ises and skillful manipulation he can
crystalize the antioch sentiment on
himself.
The state might do worse than
stance, it might nominate its dis
for
Burton-notice the similarity of the
names. Or it might even nominate
that prince of grafters, Thomas 7.
Kelly. Either of these would probably
be worse than Burrow. Mr.. Burrow
has never been accused of the mis-
doings of Senator Burton, nor, so far
as it is known, has he ever committed
the crimes that are charged against
the state treasurer. Mr.. Burrow is too
cautious to Intentionally overstep the
actual bounds of the law. To be sure
there are some things still to be
brought out in connection with the
Comanche county bond deal but with
an attorney general like the present
one Mr.. Burrow would run no danger
from that source. The Smith Center
bond deal was not in violation of any
statute, however dfscreditable it may
have been from an honest or moral
standpoint
Therefore with the political success
of T. T. Kelly before him as an object
lesson, it is not to be wondered that
Mr.. Burrow has gubernatoriaI aspira-
tions. The average person would
hardly suppose that man like J. R.
Burton could be elected to the United
States senate in view of his corrupt
and dishonest record for years, but
political manipulation accomplished it.
It would seem almost impossible too,
that the people should deliberately
elect a man like Tom Kelly state
treasurer, but a resignation in escrow,
given for the purpose of deceiving the
people, and the promise of Governor
Hoch to right all wrongs that Kelly
might commit, accomplished his cleo
ton. So Burrow has hope.

THE ANTT-pAss CRUSADE.

The Des Moines Register thinks it
perceives a rapid spread of the anti-pass
crusade. 1t points to the fact that Gov
ernor Hanly, of Indiana. has dub up a
statute prohibiting officeholders from
riding on passes, that Kansas has dis
covered an old statute that prohibits
railroads from granting special privi-
leges to any person, and that the at
torney general of Wisconsin has inter
preted the anti-pass law of that state to
mean that even newspaper editors hold
ing state offices are prohibited from
travelling on advertising mileage. wis
coDsin, Indiana, Kansas concludes the
Register, 1.-The crusade is spreading rap
idly
To this list the Register could now
add the action of the Nebraska Repub-
lican state convention in denouncing
the pass evil and declaring for a law
against it. In commenting on the anti
pass crusade the Washington Post says:
1.-The time is coming unquestionably,
when the petty blackmail levied upon
railroads and the equally petty brides
offered by railways will be abolished.
Public opinion is becoming more intoler-
ant of this graft. as it is with other
questionable if not actually dishonest
BAGCbiCCS OIl lAAG part VI public Servants.
But the crusade is not making very
| rapid progress. so far as the legislatures
of the states are concerned. 1t is pos
sib1e that members of state legislatures
may be riding on passes long after SEN
| ators and congressman have been sham
ed out of the practice.
THE Georgia legislature wrestled with
an anti-pass bill a few weeks ago, and
was ingloriously f1oored. The excuse of
several members for clinging to the free
ride privilege was ingenious. Have the
people, said they, reached the stage
where they believe their honored repre-
sentatives-the chivalry of the state
could be corrupted with a pass? Perish
the thought! They Indignantly hurled
back the insult to the proud people of
glorious state. The mere introduction
of an anti-pass bill was equivalent to a
reflection upon the honor of the legisla-
ture. So they voted against the bill and
indicated their honor.
THAT the legislatures of Indiana and
Kansas in some remote period enacted
anti-pass statutes is, if true, more cred
table than the failure of the legislators
and everybody else to obey those laws.
It is to be doubted that such a law.
however musty and forgotten. is in ex-
istence in Kansas, for the Leavenworth
| Times asserts that the last legislature
had not the heart to pass any law that
| would deprive themselves of passes. IT
will be some time before the end of the
pass subsidy arrives in Kansas" The
ancient statute that has been unearthed
is not an anti-pass law, but a crude at

railroads. The Topeka State Journal ar
