CoURTING DEFEAT.

COURTING DEFEAT.
There can be little question about
there being an understanding in the
selection of Crummer as chairman OF
the Republican state committee. The
appointment Of an executive commit
tee shows a fixed determination to
Ignore all but the new wing of the
party. Cy Leland comes the nearest
being fair minded man on the exec
utfve committee. Leland is a big man
and good one but his training is
against the reform movement. The
Republicans are courting defeat but
the record of the party may carry it
through once more.-Lawrence jour

POOR BURTON.
The people of Kansas generally feel
d1sgraced in Burton's disgrace He was
punished for what he was. and not for
the specific thing he did. He had been
going the crooked path for years. He
had violated all his obligauons-so-
cial financial and political, and when
ne was caught his character and his
reputation were the chief witnesses
against him. Men suffer for what they
are NO first offender suffers. The
law lets man have a long lariat, be-
Iore II pulls him up. Poor, poor Bur

hitched to his rope. It is unspeakably

In days gone by fixers in a party,

1t proved unpalatable, would excuse
themselves by the comforting thought
that it was necessary to do so. that the
great principles of their party might
prevail. In these times, however. the
yeomanry entertain a notion that they
have some rights which should be re-
spected when 1t comes to nominating
candidates for Office and that there is
an essential difference between men
and measures. A spirit of independ-
ence is being cultivated which BODIES

yellow dog has departed never to

men who are either mentally or morally
unfit to hold the position to which they
aspire, it becomes the duty of the good
citizen to turn him down. The day of

ANOTHER BOOM FOR PREsIDENI II,


These are the days when Mr. Prornl-
nent citizen opens the front door OF a
morning and finds on the doorstep d
newly-born boom for the presidency
of course, he is modest and shrlnk-
ing. and he says that he has not de-
served the honor, but just the same ne

a fool idea that he has been called TO
