KANSAS COMMENT
CURE FOR FACTIoNALIsM

C1SE FOR FACT1ONALlSM.
Inc wichita Beacon makes a strong
pea Tor the elimination of factional-
lsIn-meaning factionaI leaders-from
the Republican party. some years ago
Mnen me convention plan looked like
H1ture' 1t was argued that there
must De political bosses and when a
CIIerence of opinion arose among
tnese, mere must be factions. The
ulrect primary has changed the out
look IN marked degree. Under the
dpphcatlon of the state wide primary
there VIII still be political leaders, to
De sure. who will advance the interests
of their party. but they will be leaders
because the people have selected them
70 pc leaders and because the people
nave faith in them-not because they
nave secured and hold their places
through political manipulation.
Inc direct primary is coming for
Kansas. As a matter of fact. 1t is
mere certainly and surely, now. All
that this manner of selecting candi-
oates needs for general application is
the endorsement of the next legisla-
tive session and the next legislature
VIII not dare fail in this particular.
With the direct primary in effect,
the pickering among the factional
leaders for political jobs will cease,
and thereupon will follow the end of
factlonalism. For upon the first evil
dence of an effort by any set of men
to control political patronage in the
interest of their own clique or crowd,
the people will throw them down and
out. The people demand that the
men in public office shall be subservi-
ent to no machine, that they shall be
animated by no desire or purpose ex-
cept to perform their duties accept
ably.-Parsons Sun.

The appointment Of Or. Bonilla to biz

those countries. He was president Of
Honduras about seven years ago and
after an unusually successful admins
tration was succeeded by General
Krencio Sierra. Since then DR.. Bonilla
has experienced some exciting vicissi-
tudes. One Of these was being sentenced
TO death by his namesake, Manuel Do
nilla, who succeeded General Sierra as
president. The two Bonillas are not
related.
Today Manuel Bonilla, who was de.
posed from the presidency last Feb
ruary. is in exile and his enemy, whom
he imprisoned. is representing Honduras
in an important capacity. DR.. Bonilla
said today that he hoped the Washing
ton conference would result in per-
manent peace in Central America and
that Honduras would do all in her
power to facilitate that hoped for con-
summation.

Duration of Life.

A European statistician has pub
Iished carefully prepared figures of
longevity which tend to throw
rather remarkable light on the rela-
ton, first of progress, and secondly
of climate, to the duration of life. 1t
would appear that Germany, with a
population at the time of 55000,OO0
counted less than so centenarians, or
In the ratio of &c to 100000; that the
ratio is lower still in Denmark, where
it is one to 100000, and in Belgium,
where it is one to 100000, but that
it rises in Sweden Q:6O0,000), Eng
land Q:260,O0O) France Q:19O,OO0,
Norway and Scotland Q:l0OO 0O), and
Spain (1:405,OOO, till it attains an as
founding height in the Balkans, where
Roumania can show one centenarian
for every 5000 inhabitants, Servia
one for every $500, and Bulgaria one
for every 1000. The obvious deduc-
ton would be that climate is evident
ly a powerful factor in determining
the length of life, and that the Medi-
terranean countries enjoy especially
favorable conditions in this respect.
The vegetarian should also have his
innings here, for it is the oil and
grain-eating peoples of the south that
seem to have approached nearest to
the secret of Immortality. 1t is in
certain parts of the Balkans that Ellie
Metchnikoff found old age to flourish,
and ascribed it largely to the prevail
ing diet of fermented milk. But it Is
also obvious that Centenarianism
varies inversely with the scale OF
civilization. There is, however, the
cheerful reflection that longevity also
seems to vary inversely with the
scale Of literacy, and that perhaps
statistics in Servia are not kept so
carefully as in Germany. TchaikOw-
skys music may not be the only me-
dunn in which the Slav imagination
utters itself.

II must have been a very funny
story! The type looked funny from
across the aisle Of the car, the pic.
lures looked funny, and the young
lady who was reading It doubled up
In fits Of stifled laughter every few
minutes. The young man in the seat
with her could not help stealing q
glance at the pages Of the book which
was evidently so funny, but whose
cover was carefully doubled back out
Of sight, and soon he began to laugh
as he unblushingly followed the story
page after page, shaking with sup.
pressed merriment.
The woman in the seat at right an.
giles became interested and looked
over the girls shoulder. Presently
her face brOadened into a grin and
soon she was conyulsiyely shaking
The man in the seat across smiled al
the scene. A boy a few seats down
the aisle grinned sympathetically. A
darby still further down showed all
his white teeth. The contagion spread
until the car was nearly on the verge
of Mysteries, when the fair reader got
up to leave the train, yet no one but
the girl herself had any idea as to
what the book was.

Then the men went to the cell oc.

from his limbs, and took him from
the Jail. They formed procession
and proceeded a short distance from
the jail and hanged Iceberg to a tele.

Before the mob reached the jail
Iceberg heard them coming. He arose
from his cot, dressed himself and
coolly awaited the coming of the

disguise himself, and 1t is declared that
