D. R. ANTHONY,
An EDITOR, GOES
TO CONGRESS
Special Election in Kansas To-
day Results in Newspaper
mans Selection.

Associated Press to The Evening" Tines.
Leavenworth, Kan, May 23.-D. R.
Anthony. republican. will go to con-
gress as a result of the special elec-
tion held today in the First congress
sional district to fill the vacancy re-
sulting from the resignation of
Charles Curtis, who was elected to
the United States senate. Anthony's
only opponent was Albert Kingsley,
of Leavonworth. who ran on the So
cialist ticket. The first district in
cludes the cities of Leavenworth, To-
peka and Atchison.. Anthony is the
editor and owner of the Leavenworth
Times, morning newspaper, sue
ceeding his father in that position.
The senior Anthony was one of the
pioneers of Kansas and was famous
He was brother of the late Susan
B. Anthony, the famous woman suf-
frage leader.
Mr.. Anthony made the race for con-
gress on platform favoring the re-
vision Of the tariff, the curbing of
trusts and monopolies and the reg
ulation of railroads along the lines
advocated by President Roosevelt
On the subject of the tariff Mr.. An
thony has this to say:
"While recognize that the protect
i've tariff and business prosperity go
hand IN hand. yet there can be no
doubt that the time has come for a
revision of some. of the present tariff
schedules at the hands of the friends
of the protective principles. Tariffs
which are unfair to the people at
large should be amended. The tariffs
on iron and steel products and on
lumber especially should be reduced
to a point which will cheaper these
products to the consumer and prevent
the further extortion of hundreds of
millions of dollars Of unfair and ex-
cessive profits to the steel kings of
the east and the lumber barons of
the north"
In attacking the combines, Mr. An
thony distinguishes between "good"
and "bad" trusts. The latter he de-
fines as follows:
by criminal trusts I mean those
corporations and combinations of cor
porations which are organized for the
purpose OF crushing out legitimate
competition and which, by the crea-
ton of monopolies, demand excessive
prices from the people and exact
swollen profits and dividends"
The election of senator's by di-
rect vote is now advocated by the new
congressman in the following Ian
guage:
81 believe in the nomination of all
candidates for Office by the direct vote
Of the people. and think the next Kan
sas legislature should pass state
wide law providing for the direct
nomination of candidates for all Off
ces. from road overseer to United
States senator, the only restriction
being for the preservation of party
lines. the division into great political
parties being one of the necessities
of the American system of govern
ment."
Anthony is highly popular in Kan
sas and his ability as an editor and
a local politician causes his friends
to predict for him brilliant career
in Washington

Andrew s. Draper's Address.
Il am not prepared to oppose all
warfare. In my opinion the delib-
crate judgment of an enlightened
people ought to have it's way after
every other alternative has failed. But
| do not agree to the endless accre-
ton of idle armament and unusable
forces. The educative influence of it
is bad. The surplusage Of it is ex-
actly opposed to the only legitimate
purpose of it.
ut would seem that any general and
efficient scheme for settling interna-
ttonal controversies must depend up
on (a) ripening public sentiment, (b)
a permanent court of such exalted
character that no people with a just
cause would fear its determinations,
and tc) steadily augmenting code
of legal principles which ought to
govern international conduct.
"The sentiment is crystalizing: the
forerunner of the court is already in
being and the permanent court seems
likely; the code has augmented SLOW
ly, while its only opportunity was
through agreements in treaties. but it
will be more rapidly expanded, as
there is place to submit issues and
as determinations multiply.
This is what l would like to aid,
and therefore would be glad to have
the schools promote. There ahe
schools in all countries. 1t would
seem as though, with little govern
mental favor. official records and our
free communication, there might be
a somewhat systematic and poten-
tial canvass of the teachers of the
world in the interest of universal
good will and of the common regard
for definable moral standards which
ought to be inviolable in both indi-
vidual and international conduct. The
teachers of the world might. through
an organized movement. become a
very great force in doing all this. The
universities may we'll be counted up
on to give point, form and expression
to the better sentiment of all coun-
