than his father and a weaker one;
and under his reign the missionaries
were often in peril of their lives. and
some of them, like Harrington, met
martyrdom.
1t was a most discouraging sequel
to the welcome accorded the mission

were those in England who propSsed
to give up the mission altogether. By

no Convictions WANTED.

The opponents of the direct pff-
mary are asserting that the recent
Democratic primary in Oklahoma
demonstrates that the system is an
extremely expensive one to the candi-
dates. and they are pointing to 1t as
an object lesson against the primary.
As has been pointed out in these
columns, the candidate can spend
much or little, the same as he can I'M
der the convention system.
There is one object lesson in con-
nection with the Oklahoma expert
ment to which the machine forces do
not point, however, and that is one
vindicating the defeat of the hybrid
measure proposed by the Kansas state
senate, last winter. This hybrid
measure allowed the politicians to
have a convention whenever they de-
sired. simply by jumping up enough
candidates to prevent a majority
nomination,-and that is Just what
the people do not want.
Down in Oklahoma a. convention
was held a few days ago to formulate
a platform on which the nominees of
the primaries are to run. In the pri-
maries the people had declared for
prohibition; but did the politicians
retify that action in their convention?
Not for a moment. They compro-
missed with the liquor interests and
placed the candidates on a platform
that is not what the rank and file de-
clared for in the primaries. Very
likely the liquor interests will now
look after the campaign fund.
That is the way a convention acts.
II the proper pressure is brought to
bear on II, it will not hesitate to be-
tray the people and do something
they are against. That is why the
people are not for the convention
system, or any form of 1t.

DON'T LET UP.

Now that the $4,000 campaign for
Washburn Is nearing its close, some
may think that 1t is no longer neces-
sary to work as hard on the proposition.
This is not the case. Confidence on the
eve of what may seem to be victory
is the cause of many a defeat. If the
effort that has been made is to falter in
the least the hoped for end may never
be reached. What is true of those in
charge is also true of those who are
still contemplating gift to the institu-
ton. Those gifts that have not yet
been made should be made soon. There
are only a few more days in which to
raise the money and there Is still
much to be raised. Let no one stop now
in confidence that 1t is all over because
July first Is only a week away and s14,-
COO is still to come.
One remark that has been made by
many is that President Plass has a
card up his sleeve to pull out at the
last minute to make up all that is not
raised. President Plass has publicly
announced that mo gifts have been
held back All who have contributed to
the fund have had their names an
nounced, except a few who did not de-
sire it done. and in these cases the
amounts have been announced"
Nothing is held back to spring at the
last minute. If that were the case it
would be announced at once. All those
who are interested would demand it.
AS it is. the remaining $4,000 or so. is
still to be raised by the same old uphill
pulling. 1t is to be hoped that no one
is holding back with the purpose of let
ting the others subscribe first, and in
this way to hide himself. 1t is not the
way to serve the city and ones self.
The only thing to do is to subscribe to
the fund. and do it Immediately.
