for at least thirty-five years. Under
its spirit of fanaticism has been bora
and nurtured all of the abuses of
which the people now complain. Any
iniquity could be foisted upon the
people in the name of party regularity,
but of late years the voter has come to
recognize that party is a means, not an
end and that he can use one party
this year and another one the next;
that he is not mortgaged to any one
party for life; that when all parties
fail to bring about the ends sought
he can with his fellows create a new
one; that he is a freeman, and not
owned by any body of office-seeking
politicians Even in Missouri he has
learned that, in the same election, he
can elect a Democratic governor and
Republican president, and be con-
scious that he has fully discharged his
duty as a good citizen.
In addressing the Republican con-
vention of my county I exercised the
rights of an independent. and I am
sure that the great majority of that
convention were in hearty sympathy
with the sentiments I expressed, most
of which I have stated here I know
that Roosevelt is fighting for the peo-
pie against the leaders of his party
and I am for him heart and soul In
the future, as in the past, I shall in
exercising the rights of suffrage, re-
member that II is not party success
that is the end sought, but right prin-

Cement cutters and curbing moulded
into enc piece is the suggestion which
City Engineer McCabe makes for the

ments
The effect is very handsome and has
been used in other cities.
Il saw that sort Of thing out west in
Portland and other cities said Mr.. Nc
Cabe. Il think it would be good
thing if we could put it in here. It is
very attractive and where the grade is
light that sort Of gutter carries OF the
water more quickly and easily than any
other. The eurbfng would have to be
six inches wide
The instructions which the city coun-
ell have given the city attorney are to
include cement curling but no provis-
ions are made for guttering.

says That He Hasn't FIopped. but
Continues as an Independent.
Mankato. Kas.. April 5. 100


To the Editor of the State Journal:
In Saturdays Journal in your ac-
count of the Jewell county Republican
convention, I notice that it is an
nounced that I have Topped again.
In order that there may be no mis-
take, permit me to say that 1 have
not Topped if by Topping is meant a
change of political conviction am
Independent in politics. and my friends
have so understood my position for
years. I stated to the convention,
which I was invited to address. that
to me there is no Difference in the aim
of the Democracy of Bryan and Folk
and the aim of the Republcanism of
Roosevelt and La Toilette. The state
ment was applauded. There is no
reason why it should not be; it is the
truth. I am ready to admit that the
leaders of the Democracy are doing
as much for the good of the people
as it is possible for a minority to do.
1t is also evident that aside from the
work of the president and few such
men as La Toilette the Republican
party is doing very little for the peo-
pie. To me the talk about the great
ness of this or that party is all non
sense A political party has no per-
sonal identity; no body; no soul or
conscience separate from the voters
who for the time being see fit to agree
to the party plan of exercising indi-
vidual suffrage. Party is not the end
SO0S1ls IL Is the means uS6Q TO I6dcn
or accomplish the end. Party is a
means of suffrage in the same sense
as the ballot box is a means. The
ballot box that was useful in the last
election may be unfit for use in the
next And the party that promised
usefulness in securing good govern
ment in the last election may have
entirely failed and be untitled for that
purpose in this. Each, the party and
the box, is a means, neither is the
end. The end sought is good govern
ment and good government will come
when voters realize that they are not
bound to any political party that fails
to bring about the ends desired. For
centuries sectarians prosecuted with
fire and indescribable torture all who
dared rise to point out defects. Their
intolerance, bigotry and religious
prejudice were the curse of Christianity
The same spirit of intolerance has
been the curse of American politics
