Mr.. DENTON REPLIES.
Gives d. r. Anthony's Primary
Scheme Some Hard Jolts.

c. E. Denton, secretary of state, gave
out for publication last night the fol-
lowing letter which he has written in
reply to the communication of d. r.
Anthony on the primary question. He
says:
My Dear Sir: Replying to your let
ter of October End, in which you ask
my support and cooperation in Sc
curing the nomination of state officers,
congressman and committeeman next
year by means of a primary to be
called by the state committee, beg to
state that the question of expense
alone makes the plan impracticable
and unjust to the state officers.
1t should be borne in mind that
each state officer would be concerned
with the expense of holding primary
in every one of the 1900 precincts in
this state and even an insignificant
charge for his share of the expense in
each precinct would become an enor-
nous sum when multiplied by 2,200.
Twenty dollars is in my judgment a
very conservative estimate of the
average necessary expense for each
precinct for holding a primary. This
means $4,000 and if this sum be only
a "bugaboo'' as you put it, it Is GER
tainly a full grown one. 1 do not be-
Heve the people Of Kansas want or ex-
pect their public officers to pay this
expense Or any part of it.
1t has been suggested by some that
state would meet this expense by sub
scription, which reminds me of a story
that was told me few days ago.
Briefly it is as follows:
Yon YonSon was employed by GER
tain merchant as collector and greatly
surprised his employer one day by an
nouncing that Jones would pay his ac-
count in January. When pressed for
his reason for thinking that Jones
would pay in January, Yonson said:
"WelI, a show heem hees bill and he
say it will be cold day when he pay
it, so a tink it bane in january
1t may be that the party workers
throughout the state will pay this ex-
pense but I am inclined to think with
Yonson. that if they do, it "bane in
january"
do not think the Republican voters
of this great state will quietly submit
to any plan that prevents them from
participating, through their chosen
representa- ves, in expressing their
sentiments and convictions in the state
platform and to turn this important
Neither do I believe the holding of a
state wide primary, except possibly
under a very carefully prepared law,
would be satisfactory, because it
could not and would not be properly
safeguarded or conducted.
The foregoing are. it seems to me,
ample reasons why no effort should be
made to hold a nominating primary
next year. Yours very respectfully,
G. E. DENTON.

TO REMOVE BIRTHMARKS.
French Doctors Say They Can Do It
With Radium.

Paris, Oct. 10.-Two prominent French
physicians, DR.. Wycknam and DeGrais.
have caused a sensation at the Acad-
envy of Medicine by report that they
had succeeded in many cases in remoV-
ing the birthmarks known as port wine
stains with radium. The new method
has proved equally successful in the
cases of adults and children.
The marks are effaced by the simple
application of plane surface covered
with varnish containing radium. The
action is regulated by the length and
frequency of application. The doctors
showed a series of photographs illus
trating stages of the cure and final
treatment, which left the stain in its
normal condition. The application, they
stated, was absolutely painless. and the
treat ment could be applied to en- infant
during sleep.

TThe following poem il the only verse
Mayor Taylor has written since he took
ofiicel
When from long sleep arose the Temhlor
dread,
To smite the members Of her mighty
frame,
And light the torch Of far devouring
flame
The strangers to her strength deemed
she was dead.
And when upon her bowed, deep stricken
head
Poured the black waters Of unequalled
shame
She seemed to Dark's vast depths for
ever fed.
But now. behold. She gazes at the sun
With radiant visage and unbhnling
eve,
while in her purple newer jewels
blaze
And victory'a host, the battle aobly
won.
AIagnifcently sweep the cloud free
sky.
Their eager throats melodious with
praise.

HOPES TO CROSS SEA BY
BALLOON IN THREE DAYS
Count De Lsvaulx Of Paris Says There
Is No Doubt That Other Powers
Are Trying TO Get the
Secrets.

Paris, Dee. 5.-cOunt De Lavsulx, in
discussing the escape Or The balloon Ia
Patrie, says he hopes within 10 years
20 undertake to eros the Atlantic in
three days IN a balloon having s capae.
ity Of 600 cubic feet Of gas. He would
select the season Of westerly winds.
There Il no doubt. the count says,
that other powers are prying into the
secret Of the la patrie's construction,
for an these secrets are known 10 the
experts Of other countries just as French
experts know the secrets Of foreign bal
looms.
Frances lead in aeronautics, the count
says, j. due solely to the fact that
France has a better trained body Of men,
with better installation than other com.
tries, just a. in the case OF automo-
biles.
The deputies and senators are grow
ing more and more perturbed over the
Ia Patrie's escape, and are asking all
sorts OF nasty questions rejecting on the
eapabiiity Of those who were inschsrge
OF her.
Il appears that someone called out
to the soldiers who we're holding her
down to let 20. and that thereupon they
did so. The government is trying to
find out who gave the order. Il was said
