JACKSON, ALL RIGHT.
Next Attorney General Is Honest And
Capable.

F. S. jackson, republican candi-
date for attorney general probably
is one Of the best qualified men for
the place he seeks of the candidates
on any ticket. He is the present as
sistant attorney general and has had
a great deal to do with the work of
his department in making trouble for
the trusts and big corporations. He
has devoted his time to a study of the
iniquities of the trust problem and
probably is as well informed on the
subject as any lawyer in the state and
In much better condition to handle
such problems than any candidate
against him.
Mr. Jackson is one of the brightest
of the young attorneys in the state.
He has practiced law for a number
of years in Greenwood county and
was county attorney there for term.
He made one of the best prosecuting
officers the county ever had and it
was largely on account. of the good
record he made in that office that he
was selected to fill the place of as
sistant attorney general when Jay F.
Close died He has declared himself
In favor of those reforms which the
Republican party has been advocat-
ing for years and he will be one of
the strong men of the next state adj
ministration He has repeatedly said
that he will do what he can to bring
about reforms wanted by the people
while his opponent, David Overmeyer,
goes up and down the state discuss
ing any issue to keep away from state
reforms.

Consistency Is a Jewel.

Populists who contemplate voting
the reublicanized pop state ticket this
fall should remember that George
Hanna. the chairman of the so-called
populist organization, was a member
of the Kansas state senate during the
Leedy administration and fought every
bill introduced to redeem the pledges
of the populist observation-disclosures
dence Times.
And yet Senator Hanna voted the
same way as did Senator Harris on all
important pop measures, including the
railroad bill that session. Why doesn't
the Times denounce Harris. too, in
stead of supporting him ?-Kansas City

THE DEMOCRATIC PROTESTS
ONE OF THE LEADERS GIVES
TRUE EXPLANATION
Of Real Attitude of the Chicago Cam
didate for Governor.

"W. j. Bryan will not make speech
es in Kansas this fall If W. A Harris
can help it," remarked one of the
best known Democrats in the state at
the conclusion of the Democratic
state committee meeting in Topeka
last week. Il know Harris has de-
MED the truth of the published state
ment that he wants no outsiders to
come to Kansas this year but his denial
is not founded on truth. l was in the
meeting and heard the matter dis
cussed SO 1 know what 1 am talking
about
Harris hates Bryan and makes no
secret of his hatred when he thinks
himself among friends. Harris knows
that Kansas people would like to hear
Bryan this fall and that the Nebras-
kan would do the party much good
in the state. I do not mean by this
that Bryan would make votes for
Harris, think the contrary is true.
But Bryan is going to be the Demo.
cratic candidate for president in two
years and by two or three speeches
in Kansas this fall he could stir the
voters up so we would have no trou
BILE in carrying the state in 1908
haTI1S QOSS not WANT bryan eject
ed. Besides he does not want to stil
the Republicans up on national is
sues this year. The presence of Bryan
would draw the lines in the present
campaign on a partisan basis That
is the thing Harris does not want and
IN order to accomplish his own pur
poses he is willing to injure Bryan'a
chances in two years. Fearing to
openly acknowledge his hatred for
Bryan, Harris does meaner thing
and stabs the Nebraskan in the back
under the cloak of friendship. 1t IL
the old story of Harris-he is fol
Harris all the time and never fol
anyone else.
1 am first a friend of Bryan and dc
not like to see him get the worst oil
1t from men who should be his
friends. While I m supporting Har-
ris you can say that most of the en-
thusiasm has been taken out OF me
by Harris attitude toward Bryan and
that there are hundreds more who
feel just as I do about it,

Murdoch on School Teaching.

Bent Murdoch advices the Kansas
school teachers to go on strike. He
says: 1T is about time for the tax
payers of this state to start cyclone
of reform in the matter of public
school education. So-called educators
seem to have forgotten that any edu-
cation which does not include read
ing, writing, spelling and arithmetic
is not worth three whoops in a rain
barrel, but these high-salaried Pilly-
coddy's continue to insist on trying
to fill up Kansas children on the
frazzled ends of stupid stuff imported
from the eastern states, while trying
to stuff it down the Threats of tax
payers as higher education. Higher
fiddlesticks. To our mind every school
teacher in Kansas would be applaud
ed should they go out on strike and
stay out until these high up peda
gogues get down off their stills and
get up next to plain common sense in
determining the qualifications of
young men and young women to
teach school,"

The Kansas State Mutual Hail
Company comes to the front this year
as usual. They did not quit US cold
during the two years of terrible hail
disasters, and now the loss this year
being unusually light they have paid
their losses in full, saved a neat re-
serve fund and returning one-fifth of
all the farmers money paid in which
cur banks are cashing every day. This
company is the farmers themselves
and their principles are right. Who
is it that makes direct fight against
the trusts and monOpeliss? Who
stood by US to cent each year and
showed US the figures for it on settle
ment each year. If you will carefully
and reasonably consider each years
work of this hail insurance company
you can answer these questions by
saying: We farmers are the company,
our principles are right, our rate on
hail insurance is just what it costs,
no more, no less.

NEGRO SOLDIERS WERE
UNDLSCZPLLNED.

In reviewing the outrage upon
Brownsville by the negroes of the
Infamous Twenty-ffth, still so
fresh as to constitute the daily topic
of conversation almost universally
in Brownsville, one of the prime
causes leading up to the deed was
the very noticeable lack of dis
cipline among the soldiers of Ma
jor Penrose's command. 1t was
amazing TO see these men in hordes,
as one might say, wandering about
the streets, as many as seventy five
20 one hundred of them being in
town at one time, so untidy in APP
pearance, that people at first glauce
took them for gangs of negro cot
ton pickers, rather than United
States soldiers. The only evidences
in their appearance indicating that
they were soldiers were their hats
and khaki trousers, which were
generally more or less soiled or
faded. These soldiers paid little
heed to the white officers who were
supposed 20 command them. 1t
was observed that they would fail
to salute their officers even when
passing within a few feet On the
night of the raid on the town, the
company sent out to patrol the
town halted at the Tillman saloon.
and, although the captain in COM
mand several times ordered the
men to march on, they did not
obey until the negro sergeant
roughly ordered them to move.
This was plainly overheard by re-
putable citizens. The lack of dis
cipline and uusoldierIy conduct of

prohibition governor of Kansas

prohibition governor of Kansas.
Throughout his four years of
Office, Gov. St. John successfully
steered the great state of Kansas
thorough many difficulties, meet
ing and solving various problems
of a serious nature. The Indian
raids were suppressed, and life and
property rendered secure, while
many public Improvements were
made.
1t was not until 1884, when,
disappointed at the failure of
the republican party to adopt
a prohibition plank, Gov.
St. John severed his connection
with the party and joined the pro-
hibitionists. Later the same year he
was nominated for president and
assumed the leadership, of the pro-
hibition party making many notable
speeches throughout the campaign.
He received 10000 votes for
president.
Now in his 73rd. year, Gov. St.
John, though retired from political
life, is still active in business
pursuits, and devotes his time to
the work of building up his new
interests in Brownsville. But he
is still ready to speak for the cause
to which he has devoted so much
of his life, and delivered a tempe
rance lecture in San Antonio
recently. He is an entertaining
talker and also yields a facile pen.
In many ways Brownsville is to be
upon the acquisition
of so distinguished and worthy a
citizen as John P. St. John.
