Mr.. Smiths Platform.

The address Of s. S. Smith at Tai
mage in which he outlined his idea
on current political questions will be
widely read over the Fifth district.
While he does not get into the ranks
Of the radical reformers it is evident
that he sees good many things to
change. Naturally his position on
the direct primary will be closely
studied. He takes no stock In the
Square Dealers idea Of wide open
primary in which a man votes any
ticket be wishes out favors the pro-
visions Of the senate primary bill OF
last winter which compels a voter to
declare his party affiliations before ne
votes. II we are to have primary
law in Kansas, this is unquestionably
the only honest and politically re-
spectacle Kind to have. The plan
proposed by the Square Dealers un'
der Mr. Stubs leadership would be
dangerous experiment for Kansas
Republicans.
On railroad regulation, trust con-
troll and ta-iff revision Mr.. Smiths
position Is one that will be endorsed
by thinking men generally and ne
put his ideas in clear, positive
English SO he who runs may read.
As Mr.. Smith campaigns the dis
trict he will make friends and win
He has something to
,ay and is able to say it in way to
larry conviction. He has made
rood opening Of his campaign'-one
hat is in pleasing contrast with some
previous efforts in this district along
he same line.

The Leavenworth Times puts it
about right when it says: If the
Kansas legislature Of 1907 may have
failed in some respects, in the matter
Of supplying publicity to the Kansas
consumers it was not laggard. We
have food inspectors and drug inspec-
tors and river inspectors and inspec-
tors of restaurants and dairies and
other places and things, directed by
the board Of health. II their activi-
ties do not serve to benefit the public
particularly, they are helping to keep
us informed, now that we have them
to cooperate with the operation Of
the federal pure food law. Perhaps
a goodly portion Of the expense of
their energies is of no particular
benefit and they are hardly worth
what they cost us, but there is at
least degree OF satisfaction in find
ing out to exist the disagreeable
things which previously we only sus-
pected.

The Standard OIL company's fine Of

Representative White Of Ottawa
county gave out an interview the
other day in which he said 5. $.
Smiths candidacy for congress is
backed by the Rock Island. The
Clay Center Times says; "The above
is interesting gossip from man who
is straight, honest and fearless, and
who must be reckoned with in all
political matters affecting Republic
canism in this part Of the state. Mr..
White was one Of the best representa-
tiyes in the legislature last winter.
But he is probably mistaken about
the Rock Island bringing out Mr..
Smith for congress. As matter OF
fact, In the last state convention
Smith headed the Dickinson county
delegation and was one Of five who
voted for and went down with Ansel
R. Clark for lieutenant governor.
He was one of ten Of the Dickinson
delegation who voted for Kanaval for
railroad commissioner and refused to
vote for any of the other candidates
They we're not satisfied with the
showing the others made. The evil
dence is not very strong that Smith
was brought out by the Rock Island;

A new melon has been discovered
in Colorado. According to reports it
is of as high quality as the Rocky
Ford with this difference: the entire
interior of the melon is meat. This
meat is of very high quality, and the
melon being much more solid than
the Rocky Ford. ships better. 1t ma
lures directly after the Rocky Ford is
on the market, and consequently finds
a splendid sale at the end of the sea-

spicy and sweet. But all that array
of delicacy won't help Kansas. If
such a melon exists it will hike
through the state by fast freight
bound for down east somewhere.
