Some: Kansas Politics,

Two things certainly tend to dis
credit materially the racy story sent
out from Topeka, Kan, about the gov
ernor Of that state having attempted
to kiss the wife of the former governor.
One is the fact that Governor Hoch
was renominated by the republicans
yesterday to succeed himself, and the
other, the statement in the Kansas City
papers that Mrs. Stanley has, since
the kissing is said to have taken place,
accepted an appointment from Gov
ernor Hoch on the state board Of Wis
itors to charitable institutions.
Even if Governor Hoch attempted to
exhibit his affection for the wife Of
his predecessor in office, this attempt
seems not to have given serious offense
at the time; if the latest statement in
regard to the date are correct, that is,
that it occurred more than a year ago,
and has been followed by long service
on the board Of visitors by the lady
in question; and, furthermore, that she
has participated in social functions at
the governors residence during the
meantime. The whole thing looks like
a piece of nasty politics to which Kan,
sas is not a total stranger.

Three Candidates for Governor State
Their Positions on Dranaae-Demo-
Gratis Want Mcdonald for Johnson's
Running Mate-A Hennepln Convention
Chairman.

Three candidates for governor, all from
southern Minnesota, have gone on record
as to the drainage question, in reply to a
letter of inquiry sent out by H. G. Hays,
secretary of the Minnesota Drainage
League. 49,. -:
Samuel Lord says: It am In favor of
a comprehensive system Of drainage for
the, states swamp lands, and shall do all
| that can to have the republican party
commit itself to such a policy at the next
state convention ,
George W. Somerville says: There is
absolutely no doubt as to what answer
should be given to the question pro-
pounded. The swamp land should be re-
claimed. 1t would seem that no one who
has familiarized himself with the situa-
tion can do other than favor the expendi-
ture Of a part of our public funds for the
purpose Of retaining these swamp lands.
The chief argument for doing so is that it
| will pay. Doubtless accurate surveys
| should be made, as L understand are be-
ing made, and the money should be used
with 1mpartiality., It has also occurred
| to me that some method should be de-
vised by which private owners and rail
| road corporations should be compelled to
pay for any benefits which their land
might derive by reason of the drainage
of the state lands"
James M. Diment says: II believe in
treating state property with the same
business judgment as would my person

A MALODORUS SCANDAL

The sickening exposures now being
made CT the methods of the beet trust
touches the American peope on ten
der spOt-their stomachs IT has
been asserted that a mans pocket
IS a tender spot. but if this were true
the American public would not sub
nit to the thelvlng exactions OF the
tariff.
During the Spanish war ii was
demonstrated that the beef packers
sold embalmed and diseased meat to
the government. The soldiers VINO
were lighting the battles OF their coun-
try, were compelled to face the Span
ish guns in front. and embalmed beef
in the rear. and the putrid beef kill
ed more of them than the Spanish
artillery. The rotten beef had the
advantage OF closer range.
During the investigation that fol
lowed these exposures. a can OF the
embalmed beet ON exhibition in court
exploded from pent up gases, and
the stencil was SO OverpoweriHg that
the court was driven trola the room,
stories above were compelled to seek
the air OF the street.
The court OF INQUIRY, with this evil
delce before it, reported the beef all
right on the ground that the explosion
OF a can OF the stun TOOK place before
it had been admitted as evidence. It
exploded about two minutes before
certain court formallties had been
completed, and hence 1t was OF NO
value as evidence.
Napoleon held that contractors who
sold bad meat to his troops were guilty
OF treason, and he stood the contrac
tors up against stone wall and shot

SOON START WORK ON
PACKER HOUSE CHANGES
Whole Structure Will Resemble a

ed-Covered With Cement.

Proprietor Peter F. Floersch, of

whole building will be covered with
a cement preparation on wire screens
that will cause a pretty effect, and
also make the structure fireproof on
the outside.

HAD ROW AT
OYSTER BAY.
Woman Put Out of Pew in Rear
of President ROOsevelts
Wanted to See President.

OYSTER BAY, N. ", Aug. 13.-AIiss
Ash l.. Esac, who is summering in Oys-
ter Bay for the purpose of interview
ing the president or Mrs. Roosevelt on
what she declares is "a matter of life
and DEATH" created Il scene during the
service in Christ's Episcopal church.
Miss Esac. or Miss Case, as her name
is supposed to be, has attended every
church service the president has since
his arrival here in July. She has
climbed Sycamore Hill on foot several
times, only to be turned away by the
secret service men.
She presented herself early at the
church and took n seat directly behind
the pew usually occupied by the Roose-
welt family. When Usher James Duffy
requested her to |relinquish this seat
she refused. Duffy forcibly removed
her to the rear of the church, and Miss
Esac Il v he tore her gown in so do
ing. For this act she later applied for
a warrant for Duffy, but was refused.
III the rear of the church Miss Esac
refused to sit down. A secret service
agent stood beside her, and during the
service she made no less than a dozen
attempts to get past him. AS the presi-
dent was leaving the church three Sc
cret service men surrounded Miss Esac,
but she shouted:
'Mr. President, Mr.. President, Presi-
dent Roosevelt, won't you speak to me
a moment?'
The president turned his head as he
passed, but did not pause. Miss Esac
says her watch chain was broken in
this scrimmage with the secret service
men. and her watch fell to the floor.
The president was accompanied by
Mrs. Roosevelt and Quentin and Repre-
sentative and Mrs. Longworth. Miss
ESac has stated to acquaintances she
has made while here that she was Il
have been married in the White House
at the time Miss Alice Roosevelt be-
came Mrs. Longworth, that she was to
have married Il high government Off
cial and that it is this wrong she seeks
to redress When the presidents car
riage had departed Miss Esac was al
lowed to go. 1t was then she sought
Il warrant for Usher Duffy. She says
she will stay in Oyster Bay until she
accomplishes her purpose.

SUES The CITY
FOR DAMAGES
People in North AmhOy Say Their
Cellars Are Flooded and
Houses Ruined.

Lawyer Peterson has been detain-
ed by Paul Epner and Others of Eliz-
abeth street to o damages from
the city because their cellars have
been flooded by the overflow of the
sewers.
1t is said that the grade of the
sewer is in the wrong direction and
instead of the water running away
from the streets it has a tendency to
back up against the general grade,
causing Mr.. Epner's cellar and sever
al others to be half full Of water
continually.
Several complaints have been made
at various times, but it is said that
no attention has been paid to them,
and the people are getting in a des-
perate condition.
Mr.. Epner's house, it is claimed,
has been damaged to the extent of
owe $1,000.
Nearly all the plastering on the
first story has fallen from the walls,
caused by the dampness, and the
house is becoming untenantable. Sew
eral other houses are getting in ear
ly as bad condition.
City Attorney Hommann says ii
is understood that the sewers are go
ing to be relaid and that the people
have no chance for action against the

thing was said in Philadelphia a year
or two ago; the same thing was said
just before the great civil war, when
the southern states seemed to have
full control of the government, but
the people arose in their might and
declared that the boys of Bunker Hill
did not fight in vain. 1t was a great
organization the people were fighting,
just as today the corporations have
secured control and are defying the
people. The voters must act as they
have acted before.
Mr.. Corey compared the present sys-
TEN with the days of old when it was
considered an honor for a young man
to aspire to public Office, when it was
an open fight and the candidates went
before the people for the nomination,
Today, a boss sits in New Brunswick

men to seek office. He said the first

wanted the aspirants to go before the
people, appeal directly to them, give
all an equal chance, and the best fell
low wins.
Mr.. Corey wanted to know why
such men as Dory Strong could not
be satisfied with being a manager, a
leader, instead of a boss. He should
encourage all young men to seek
nomination. A real leader would tell
every ambitious young fellow to go in
and try for the nomination; he would
advise him to go before the people,
stump the county and win the peo-
pies support if he could win, he
would help him all he could. Instead
he sits in his Office and declares this
one shall be nominated and the other
shall not, yet the people call this a
government of, by and for the people.
There was no little enthusiasm
when the meeting broke up. The
more the people hear of the move
ment the more followers are gained.
