Aside from all considerations con-
nected with the senatorship itself
there is one splendid argument in IA
vor Of having the United States senator
nominated by the people in direct
primaries.
If senator's are thus nominated and
It remains for the legislature to sim-
ply ratify the choice of the primary,
the senatorial issue viii be removed
from the election of members OF the
legislature and they will be chosen
solely with reference to legislative
matters
Under the present system, every time
a United States senator is to be elect
ed, the senatorial issue overshadows
everything else. and many instances
Justly go. It Is of supreme Importance
whom the people of Kansas send to
the United States senate. 1t is a vital
matter whether the senator is a real
representative Of the people or a repre-
sentative OF special interests. and the
only way the people can register their
choice in the matter is by voting for
or against the legislative candidate.
This sometimes leads to the defeat
Of men who would otherwise be good
legislators or it leads to the election
Of men who may be weak in legisla-
ton. But with United States senators
nominated by direct primary, the peo-
pie will register their choice in way
that wiH act as Instructions to their
legislative candidate, and the latter
will be elected solely with reference
to his ability and views as a legislator
and not because he is for or against
some senatorial candidate.

as 10 REPRESENTATIONS

Last spring the law and order people
in Shawnee eounty-those who are
tired of having the beer ring run the
county politics in which it is Interested
scored a big victory in nominating
Frank Foster for county attorney and
John NJ. Wilkerson for sheriff. But
it does very little good to nominate
good officials IN the primaries in April
and then allow them to be beaten at
the polls IN November. The election
is what really counts.
A good many people who helped to
nominate these candidates have thus
far failed to register, and if they do
not register they cannot vote. If you
wish to vote. It is alI-important that
you should register very soons
The registration law was changed
by the last legislature. and this may
fool some people into the belief that
they are registered. No matter if you
registered last spring, you must do so
again if you failed to vote at the spring
election. The law is designed to en-
courage people to vote at every cleo
ton because the act Of voting registers
them to vote at the following election,
while failure to vote at any regular
election disfranchises them until they
register again in the regular way.
Better look yourself up and see if
you are registered.

WHERE THE MONEY COMES FROM
Senator La Toilette is to speak in
Topeka this evening. He is the man
whom the railroad traffic managers of
his own state have testified that they
used money and passes against IN the
recent campaign, and gave to the world
confirmation Of the time honored sus-
picion that the railroads were spend
ing money in politics. The rottenness
shown by the Insurance Investigations
would probably be as the smell Of roses
compared to the stencil that would go
up If the truth about the railroads in
politics We're known. The fact that the
railroads have made open confession
to spending money against La Toilette
only confirms the theory that some
times when you want to know where
the campaign money comes FROM. it
would be well to see whether or not
the railroads have any interest in the
campaign, either direct or Indirect

/ have no desire to write a Iechn1cal
account Of the Paris police organiza-
reason of its efficiency unless you knew
a little about the famous Third Brigade
It's. business is to supervise the police.
1t is under the direct command of the
chief of the municipal police, and is
composed of an officer de paixs prin-
cipaI inspector, a brigadier five sub
brigadiers, and a number of men av-
eraging usually To- One and all they
are picked men About half of them are
assigned to watch the regular patrol
men; by day and by night they slip
about the streets, noting down all in
fractions of the rules of the service.
He is bold policeman who runs the
risk Of visiting a wine shop for a sly
glass. or commits any of the other lit
tie sins dear to the patrOlman's heart.
There is hardly a chance that he will
not be detected in time; reprimand fol-
lows, and, after that, fine, and lastly
dismissal. The discipline is extremely
severe. And, moreover, every man
knows that a very slight breach Of the
rules entails the loss of his place. There
IS always a long waiting list" of can
didates, sound young fellows, fresh
from the army, and the city can choose
its new servants among the best. The
other half of the Third Brigade is en-
gagged in work of q Subtier and a more
typically Latin kind. In the first place,
it investigates all complaints made
against the patrolmen by chiefs or citi-
zens; these investigations are rigorous
and quite impartial; the agent who is
taken in fault must go. And, in the Sec
ond place, the Third Brigade maintains
a regular system of espionage upon the
private lives of all policemen, be their
rank what it may. This, of course, is
the Latin way of doing things. Wrong
as it may be in principle, it serves to
weed out the men Of bad character and
bad habits and bad associations. And
it prevents that monstrous alliance
which New York has .known-of the
police and the lawbreakers. At all
events, this method of policing the po-
lice has been justified by its results. II
