A PURE CAUCUS Law might regulate
the selection Of delegates 10 county
convention, but how can it do away
with the Juggling and trading of
delegations ia the county and state
conventions? The delegate system
is always open to that objection, but
no matter how the precinct caucnses
are regulated. 1t is the chance to
trade aud manipulate in the con
ventions that the machine wants to
retain. If the caucus law would do
away with that opportunity for
political control it would have gone
the way Of the primary law. The
machine would never enact law
that would deprive them Of the only
chance of control. The primary law
did take away that opportunity and
that is the reason it was killed. The
pure caucus law is simply to catch
suckers; il is to attract attention
from the primary movement, but it
will not fool the people. The pure
caucus law comes about as near
remedying the existing evil as par
ing corn on the toe would come to
curing acancer.

The legislature did good act in
submitting to vote of the people
a proposition to levy special ia !
for the construction of twine plant
at the penitentiary. We believe the
people of the state want such an
institution. If they do not they can
vote against it. 1t may move slowly
but the principal of allowing di
rect vote Of the people on all impor
tant questions is the correct one.

GEoRoE ". NASH, state superin-
tendent OF public instruction, has
been chosen president Of the Aber-
deem Normal school by the board of
regents. Undoubtedly Mr.. Nash is
qualified to fill that position, but he
owes it to the people OF the state TO
serve in the capacity to which he
sought election. 1t is is taken for
granted that Mr.. Nash wanted the
Office, that he asked to be chosen
from among all VINO aspired to it, and
therefore we believe it to be his duty
to remain where he was placed. He
has made an efficient superintend-
ent aud he is needed right there.

KANSAS AupACITY.

Gov. Hoch of Kansas signed the
bill recently which carries with it an
appropriation of 100000 to establish
state oil refinery. Kansas is in
dead earnest. The fact Is writ large
upon her physiognomy. The people
of that state have made MP their
minds that something must be done,
and that right now, to relieve the
stress OF crushing situation IN the
oil region. They believe that the
time is ripe to curb the grssping,
dominating power of corporation
which seeks to control one of their
growing and profitable industries
There is some doubt expressed as
to whether this new bill will not be
declared unconstitutional, or whether
the state is debarred from engaging
in an industry of this or any charac
ter. 1t is believed, however. by the
leaders of this movement, that the
bill will be found constitutional and
therefore that the state has legal
right to engage in business. There
need be no fear but that it's constitu-
tionally will be tested by some one
before long.
What gives prominence to this
bill is that some OF the conservative
men OF the state are at the head oil
this movement and are loyalty stand
ing by it. They propose 70 see
whether a great state like Kiasas
shall be dominated by trust whose
name is synonym for greed aud
graft, which knows no pity and nev
er cries enough.
AS evidence of what the Standard
Oil company has done, it is cited that
the average price paid for crude oil
one year ago was $l.05 per barrel.
The price began to decline rapidly
until it got down to 4S cents per bar.
rel. When this juncture was reach
ed there was nothing for oil men
to do but to 60 out of business. Their
only resort was to the legislature
and to the Legislature they went
and the bill which the governor
signed recently is. the result.
The whole country Is looking on
with amazement at the audacity Of
Kansas, but with becoming admir-
alton for her pluck and defiant at
titude. What the people of Kansas
are particularly sollcitious aboutis to
have outsiders understand that this
movement is not socialism Or wild
cat populism. They absolutely dis
avow everything of this character
What they are doing is only done in
self defense. The outcome will be
watched with a good deal Of interest.
1t may be that the Sunaower state
is establishing a precedent unique
in state history and most potent in
solving some of the financial ills of
the present day. Sioux City Trib-

AN Aberdeen dispatch to the
dailies said;
c. f. Kohler, president of the nor
NAL school here, was notified to-day
that he will be dropped at the end
OF the school year. The action is a
surprise, as no intimation of the pro
posed change has been made, and
Prof. Kohler was popular with the
students faculty.
State superintendent Nash was ap-
pointed to the position by the board
of regents. The dropping Of institu-
tion heads who are popular with the

petent is becoming little frequent,

COMMISSIONER GARFIELD fluids that
the beef trust has hardly made in
terest on the investment equal to
that on government bonds. Garfield
does not explain the reasons for ex-
tentions now being made upon this
gigantic losing scheme Queer that
middle concern must increase the
price by several times between the
producer and the consumer and still
lose money. About two cents a
pound for corn fed beef on the hool
and thirty-five cents on the block
would be about right. That would
allow the packing trust to feed its
family on wholesome food and
would allow for woolen stockin 81

was trial in city court Monday morning,
the principal being John Moore, Il young
ster of T. years, who has been for sew

accounts, is Il youthful! Desperate. Last
summer he was brought to the Mary
Fletcher hospital from Newport suffering
with p diseased foot. which it became nee
cssary to amputate.
AS the unfortunate lad was an orphan,
arrangements were made for his transfer
to the Home for Destitute Children and
although he was handicapped, in part. by
the absence of one foot, he manipulated
his remaining member with vigor that
often left its imprint upon the bodies OF
his associates. His cscapades were many
and varied eliminating the other day
when he knocked n boy down and broke
his arm. Accordingly he was arrested
and brought into court on the charge OF
breach of the peace. lie pleaded guilty
And Judge Hawkins sentenced him to the
