IRON MINE HERE?

Mrs. William Swain was in the city
last week, and she brought with her,
some samples Of dark rock found upon
their farm on the south side. The
rock was tested with "a magnet. and
found TO contain some iron, being
identically the same as the iron rock
in Rudolph. Grand Rapids has yet a
chance to shine among the powers of
the mining industry, apparently.

rNHAPPY RUSSIA.

The volcano that has been seething
under Russia for the past eighteen
months seems about to break out once
more this time more violently than
ever: and II a revolution does get ur-
der full Roadway it viii be likely to
sweep the government before it, and
reign of terror may result.
Each succeeding outbreak has been
worse than its predecessor since the
workmen of St. Petersburg marched
to Peterhof and laid their requests for
better conditions before the palace
gate early in 1905. Had the car done
all he could at that time to give Rus
sia. constitutional and really repre-
sentative form Of government, his
country might have been saved much
bloodshed. and his throne today would
have been much safer than it is. But
unwise counsel prevailed, the repre-
sentative form of government was de-
layed. and It was finally granted only
when it was wrested from the bureau
cracy by the people.
Unhappy Russia! Unwise states
manship and an ignorant populace
have rendered her condition pitiable. A
people who cannot govern themselves
need especially able rulers. The Rus
sian peasants cannot do the one, nor
have they the other. Ignorance and
brutality rule.
Even the semblance of representa-
tive government has been temporarily
abandoned. The douma has been dis
solved, and the old form of govern
ment by stealth and by force has been
resorted to. The fires of the revolu-
ton have once more been stirred. 1t
remains to be seen whether the car
and his government can Withstand

HoCH ON PRIMARIES.

The attitude OF Governor Hoch to-
wards q primary election law repre-
sents the attitude Of the majority of
the people of Kansas. Governor Hoch
is in favor of some sort of a primary
law, but he isn't sure just what.
It may possibly be advisable to
adopt at once a law to compel the Sc
lection of all candidates from United
States senator down by the direct pri-
mary method, but it is a question that
is oDen to doubt and discussion. Sup
pose, for instance. there should be i've
candidates for governor two years
hence, one representing the railroads
and the other four representing the
anti-railroad sentiment. This is not
an unreasonable supposition, for the
railroads always look after such
things. It is complained that the poli-
ticians Jump up candidates under the
convention system in order to carry
certain counties or localities; but it
would be just as easy to Jump up"
candidates under a primary election
system as it is at present.
Supposing, then there is one rail-
road candidate for governor and four
anti-railroad candidates. The railroad
candidate may get only Is per cent of
the votes. yet he would be nominated
if the other 75 per cent were evenly
divided among the other candidates.
Yet a vast majority OF the voters
would have preferred any one of the
four men instead of the one nominated.
Again it is proposed to hold all pri-
maries of all parties on the same day,
which is doubtless a good way to do.
But note the logical effect of this sys-
TEN. 1t is insisted that when voter
participates in party primary he Is
bound to support the nominees OF. that
primary whether they are his choice
or not. If this idea is to prevail, and II
all voters participate in the primaries
-as they should do-what Is the use
Of holding an election afterwards? The
result would be approximately the
same as that of the primaries Or. if
there should be a considerable inde-
pendent element that refused to bind
itself by participating IN the primaries,
such voters would have no choice in
ms king the candidates. but would be
compelled on election day TO choose
between those named by those voters

1870 PoLITTCs.

Notwithstanding the fact that its
editor is a rival candidate for United
States senator, the Salina Journal con-
tinues to speak most highly of Senator
Benson It would be difficult to give
the senator stronger praise than that
which Mr. Bristow bestows on him in
a brief editorial concerning Senator
Benson's lecture at the Salina Chau-
tauqua, when he says:
I'm his address before the Chau-
tauqua Saturday. Senator Benson
made good before the people OF Sa-
lima. One man who shook hands with
the senator after the speech expressed
a good deal of the sentiment Of the
audience when he said: The people
appreciate what you said because they
believe in you
THE test of every speech that has
weight is the man behind the speech.
No charge of demogoguery could be
made against Senator Benson. nor even
the shadow Of inconsistency. His
sentiments are the outgrowth Of the
character Of the man. It Is natural
perfectly natural. that he should line
up on the right side Of every question
That Is where Senator Benson belongs,
and he has the ability to state reason
for every stand he takes.
His speech was a refreshing incl
dent in these days of political trim
ming and hedging on the great Issues
Of the day. He met every question
souarely and without a hint OF what
is called. in the common parlance OF
the day, side-stepping. Senator Ben
son Is in line with the best thought ana
sentiment of the day
1t is indeed refreshing when one
candidate for a political Office takes
mains to say such good words for
rival. This utterance is altogether diff
ferent from the meaningless platitudes
which men sometimes utter in public
concerning one another. for it has the
ring of sincerity and earnestness- 1t
means that politics is becoming cieail-'
er and better when men do such
things as that.
