THE COMING CONFLICT.

How rapidly time does fly! Next
year we have another presidential cleo
ton, when it seems but a few months
since our last one. The preliminary
moves are now being made in Wash
ington. Foraker is making a direct bid
for the support of the railroads, Stand
ard OIL" the trusts and the colored
brother, while Roosevelt is believed to
be backing Secretary Taft who will
continue President Roosevelt's good
work of just taxation, railroad regula-
ton and the dissolution of unlawful
combinations in restraint of trade. The
american citizen will have no trouble

hitch up with.-Fort Scott Republican.

INDIGNATION.

A man who will act toward an in
nocent and confiding girl as Evelyn
Nesbit says Stanford White acted to-
ward her, is low, treacherous I'M
manly. without principle. without hon
or. without decency. and is in hell,
where he properly belongs. There; we
have expressed our Indignation. and
we believe it is pretty hot.-Atchison

FROM JOHN GILMORE.

The Brownsville Incident and the
discussion it has evoked have tended
to show, Enthusiastically, that there is
an undercurrent of sentiment
throughout the country unfavorable
to the negro, If the question could be
legally submitted to a popular vote OF
depriving the black man of the cleo
tive franchise, it is probable that it
would carry overwhelmingly in nearly
all, If not all, of the northern states

A CONFIDENT

OF course. it is a mere coinciden
that Senator Dryden's health should
become so bad that he must retire
from public life at the very time HI
is unable to win e-election.-Hutch

PITZZLE FOR ADDICKS.

Senator Dryden, Of New Jersey, has
decided to withdraw from the race.
Mr.. Addicks will find it hard to I'M
derstand why Dryden has seen fit to
pull cut before it has been settled that
none of his opponents in the legisla-
ture is for sale. Still, perhaps Dry
den didn't.-Hutchinson News.

MOST IMPORTANT.

The most important piece of legisla-
ton before the law making body at
Topeka is the primary election law.
Given water tight primary election
be added unto US. The primary cleo
ton is so important in this country
that it dominates. We need good gen.
eral election laws but we have the
need supplied. We want a good pri-
mary election law and this legislature
must give it to US. 1t is more import
ant than antipass or passenger rates.
Lawrence Journal
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1907-02-14
A GOOD REASON

The politicians do not favor the pri-
mary election system, which is one
reason why the people should favor it.
Surrounded by every safeguard of a
regular election it ought to cut the
power of dominant factions and po-
ntical machines, and get nearer the
wish of the people.-Atchison Globe.

NOW IS The Time
Purchase of Christmas Gifts at
Early Date Relieves Clerks
of Much Hardships.
NATIONAL MOVEMENT BEGUN
Letters Circulated to Women's Clubs,
Merchants and Newspapers,
Urging Its Advantage.

Because, with the more elaborate
celebration and observance of Christ
mas each year, the holiday season
makes the Christmas happiness in one
mans house a Christmas hardship in
many another home, the merchants of
the country are greatly interested in
the movement for the encouragement
of early holiday shopping. The move
ment has a two-fold purpose, being of
great help to the clerks and other en-
ployes of the department stores, and
of advantage also the shopper. One
heeds his own side of the \argument
most easily, and SO it is shown that
the shoppers at this season of the
led by the jostling crowds of the later
weeks, and can give courtesy which
will later grow more difficult if not
more scant. In the store there is both
good air and good will, and these di-
minish as Christmas draws nearer.
Many shoppers realize the advantages
which early shopping gives, and there
are hundreds who have Already COM
pleted all of their holiday purchases.
Work at Cleveland.
For several years the Merchants as
Sociation of Cleveland has conducted
a successful campaign to push the hol-
iday shopping into November and the
early part of December. Posters in
street cars, bill boards, and the widest
newspaper publicity have accomplish
ed great deal. This year the men,
bers of the Charities Publication COM
mittee, headed by Robert w. DeFoy-
est of New York, is making an effort
to follow the Cleveland plan on a ma
tiOnal basis. n letter urging early
shopping is going out over the sigma
lures of the leading department store
men and editors TO the heads of $500
women's clubs, 1907 department stores
and to $50 newspapers where these de.
partment stores are urging early pur-
| chases. The merchants are asked to
insert in their advertisements the fol
lowing: Buy your presents early
