"WHAT OF TT!"

Admitting that the state board OF
railway assessors ''saw it's duty and
done it," what of it? They are hired
to do their duty. are sworn to do their
duty and are paid to do it. And be-
cause they got to business and did just
what they are hired to do, why make
so much fuss about it? It is all right
to credit every public man for doing
what he is paid to do, but the weak
ness of all of it is in not politically de-
stroying the fellows who don't do their
duty-and their numbers are as the
sands of the sea.-ElDorado Repub-
lican.
What of it!' To be sure they did
only their duty, but how many public
officials do their whole duty? Are not
those who do do their duty, especially
when it takes some backbone and pre-
cedent-smashing, entitled to unusual
credit? And when the people get
some officers who do their duty, isn't
1t a good idea to keep them doing it 4?
One way to destroy those who don't
do their duty is to give due credit and
appreciation to those who do. That's
what of it,

THE PRIMARY

If, as Is reported. the machine e1e-
ment in Kansas politics endorses the
direct primary for the nomination of
all officers from United States senator
down, it Will be a victory for the peo-
pie of the state. 1t will show that the
politicians will heed the demands of
the people when the people insist hard
enough.
Such an action might KNOCK the
props" from under the Square Deal
movement-such is supposed to be the
purpose for which 1t is contemplated
but for that the people care little.
What the public wants is results, and
it cares not whether the machine or
the Square Dealers give them these re-
suits. And one of the results the
people most want is a good direct pri-
mary law-the real thing and not the
hybrid that was offered by the state
senate in the last legislature.
If the machine crowd lines up for
such a primary bill, one to nominate
all candidates by direct vote of the
people, it will, of course, remove the
primary as an issue in the next legis-
lature. AS the people of Kansas want
a direct primary, practical politicians
like the machine crowd do not care to
make a fight on the offside of that
question as an issue.
With the primary issue removed
from the contest over the election of
the legislature. the main issue would
be the reelection of Senator Long
unless some new issue is invented in the
meantime. OF course. the senatorial
question will be back of the primary
issue anyway, but If all factions de-
clare for a direct primary, the contest
will directly involve the senatorship
more than anything else.
What the people want is good laws
and good officials. Whether they are
Square Dealers, or machine men. or
neither, is not important.

POOR ADVICE

1 Once more the time is at hand
when the world will be surfeited with
free advice. What the high school or
college graduate overlooks, the in
dividual who makes the address to
the class will be sure to fill in.
Noting the near approach of the
| commencement season, the editor of
the Hutchinson News. who is a con-
noiseur of advice and something of an
expert in classifying it, hands out a
few well-chosen remarks on the sub
ject that are well worth noting.
Graduation time" he says, ''is at
hand and the sweet girl graduate. the
embryonic orator and the prominent
Citizen who delivers the address to
the class, are dividing honors with the
master of the spit ball and hero who
holds down the third sack and lines
them out What the sweet girl grad
uate says and how the embryonic
orator gets off his stunt are unim-
portant but have the virtue of being
very interesting to the other mem
bers of the class and their parents
and friends, and, in less degree, to the
rest of the school. At the worst it is
harmless. But as much can not be
claimed for the utterances of the
prominent citizen who esteems it an
honor to look into your bright faces
and say a few words to the extent of
about three columns or better. What
he says is often harmful.
Naturally he wants to say things
that are pleasant and things that will
cause his youthful hearers and their
parents to say, Isn't he a nice man p
and, I don't care what they say about
him; don't believe that a man who
talks like that can be guilty Of
whatever happens to be the latest
crime or misdemeanor he is charged
with. Then, being human, he natur-
ally becomes infected with the spirit
of the occasion and it is easier to go
with the current than to try to stem
it. He utters a lot of platitudes, pos
sibly dressed up in a little different
garb, tells the young men and young
women to hitch their wagons to
star, and to strive for only the higher
things Now this is the thing these
young people have been hearing for
the seventeen or twenty-five years of
their lives. With a good record in
book-learning, it is an unusual lad
or lassie who doesn't feel that his or
her attachments are far superior to
those of parents or friends and who
hasn't a roseate view of the future in
which he or she plays a very large
part. If boy, he probably laughs at
the idea of a county office or a job in
a grocery store or principal of a ward
school being fit for him, and if he is
very ambitious even the state offices
or president of the wholesale grocery
company seem very insignificant. 1t
is congress or the supreme bench for
him, or the presidency of college or
a railroad, at the very least. And nine
times out of ten. the address to the
class confirms his ideas that such
places eventually are easily obtain
able for him.
Here is where the prominent citi-
zen does so much harm. Instead of
encouraging this erroneous view of
the young graduate. he ought to dis
pei it and tell him the truth. He
ought to state that nine-tenths of the
class are just common. ordinary, plug
individuals, who viii make a mistake

When they can no longer h1des
When the smile that lights their tasks
And the frown, are laid aside;
What beneath the veil shall gloWE
What transition shall we see?
Laughter wearing mask of woe?
Sorrow wearing mask of glee!
When they lift the veil of strife,
Shall we the truth OF hfeE
What shall Co1umbine disclose
What shall Harlequin reveal?
Will her cheek be withered roseI
Will his heart be heart Of steel?

That the night, SO old and dark.

of gray ringlets turned to gold;
OF young lips where laughter played;
Ashen where the roses fade?

if they aspire too high, that the one
tenth that is exceptional needs no en-
couragement. The very fact that they
are exceptional will cause them to
forge ahead That the thing for the
nine-tenths to do is to recognize the
fact that play time is over and that
henceforth it is going to be hard work
and that the longer the graduate puts
off the acknowledgment of this fact,
the harder it is going to be. The
thing to do is to go out and get a job,
no matter what kind of job, put his
best energy into it and keep an eye
open for a better. There are lots of
people out in the world with just as
good a preparatory training as he has
and who have the advantage of sew
eral years of experience and for him
to think it is going to be an easy
thing to edge such person out of his
job or to get one just as good is
foolish. Then he should wind up by
preaching thoroughness. a hopeful
spirit, courteous treatment of his fell
lows-in other words. hard work and
the cultivation of the gentle art of
jollying. For while the exceptional
man may forge ahead wholly on merit,
he will not go any faster or farther
than the average man, who boosts his
