A New York View.

Out of Kansas ever comes forth
novelty. Even when the new idea is
in direct conflict with an immemor-
ial impulse to volubility, it will pre-
yall, as was demonstrated when the
Republican convention of Trego coun-
ty yesterday adopted a platform of
just seven words. One would be
tempted to call it a blessed relief to
be rid of plotitudes in political plat
forms were it not that the Kansas
declaration, ''Resolved, That we let
well enough alone" is itself, in es-
sence, The biggest platitude of them
all. We can, however, commend un-
reservedly the labor saving policy of
substituting one large motherly plati-
tude for the usual score of little, scat
tering, irresponsible platitudes that
fly in one ear and out the other. Not
only that, but these Kansas delegates
have recognized a deeper principle.
They have perceived what has really
been on the way to expression for
long time-that 1t is no longer pos
sibIe for good Republican to dis
criminate between his parties differ
ent policies. That way destruction
lies. Look at the insurgents who
tried to consider the statehood bill as
if it were an issue by itself; look at
the Massachusetts Republicans. hope
lessiy tangled because they tried to
make distinction between the
Dingley tariff and the rest of Repub-
licanisnI; look at the railroad sena-
tors" who refuse to take the rate bill
just as it comes to them. And then
look at contented. omnivorous Kan
sas, and, if possible, go and do like
wise New York Evening Post.
