The absolute arrogance and insolence
Of the political bosses. State and local.
and the domination of machine politics
in this State has reached a pass that
is driving the people into open revolt.
The statement that a certain political
agent of corporations controlled the
San Francisco delegations TO both the
Republican, the Democratic and the La
Dor conventions led one facetious edi-
torial writer to move that the conven-
tions be dispensed with and the boss
directed to cast the yote for all three
parties. The pity is there is too much
of truth In this suggestion to pass it
by as a mere Jest. The direct primary
plan, which has been put into operation
In Oregon and in several other cities
has been found to be an effective check
upon the control of the party organiza-

Who Can Answer?

A central Kansas editor says: I'VE
attended church some time ago. and
listened to very good sermon, as SER
mons go. We enjoyed the singing, and
stood up with the brethren and sisters
while they sang the good old hymn,
Shall We Know Each Other Tnere?'
While the hymn was being sung we
glanced about us and counted about a
dozen members of the congregation of
the church who do not speak to each
other when they meet on the street, or
elsewhere The thought occurred to
us. why should they know each other
there when they seemingly don't know
each other here?"
