put his preferences in this order Ben
son, Bristow, Murdoch, Stubs, Getty,
Campbell, Curtis.
A few of 1.-The field' voters might be
for Curtis for second or third choice,
but most of them would be distinctive
~ antf-Curtis, and by putting Curtis
seventh their votes would count
against him as well as for their first
choice. Twenty representative ballots
would very likely stand as follows
(each perpendicular column repre-
sents a baIlot):
11125ss 2ss452s75s 2ss-sl

If the first choice alone is consider
ed as in the ordinary primary, it is
evident that the result would stand
this way: Curtis. 6; Benson, 8; Bris-
tow. 8; Campbell, 8; Murdoch, 2;
Stubs. 2; Getty. 1. This would nomi-
nate Curtis by big plurality. he hav-
Ing TWICE dS many FOleS dS his nearest
competitor.
But it is very evident. by Analysing
all the choices, that many voters are
opposed to Curtis. While make him
their first choice, 9 make him seventh,
thereby saying that they would prefer
any other candidate to him.
By adding together the choices ex-
pressed for each candidate. it is evil
dent that Benson comes nearest being
the first choice of all the voters as
whole; that is, he is the average first
choice and therefore ought to be
nominated.
AS has been repeatedly stated, this
plan gets at the choice of the voters
with mathematical exactness. 1t al
lows no political manipulation. 1t
does no good to Jump up" candidates.
The county or township with a big
population can not win over the
others unless it's candidate is really
the choice Of a majority of the voters
as against any other individual candi-
date.
But any sort of a primary is better
than the average convention. And
above all, let us not have combina-
ton of the primary and convention,
which will prove unsatisfactory all
around.

THE KANSAS EDITOR.

| No state in the Union has brighter
! lot Of country editors than Kansas. In
fact, we fondly imagine that no other
| state can even equal Kansas in thi
| respect. There are dozens of big.
brainy leaders among the progressive
country newspaper men of the Sun
flower state-men who direct the
sentiment of their respective commu-
mites, who are Independent in thought
and policy, bright and forceful in their
writings, progressive and up-to-date in
their business.
The press, both rural and metro
politan, is becoming more and more
Independent. There, was once time
when the newspaper was. as a rule.
subservient to some special interest
and hidebound in politics. This was
true as much, or more, of the big city
paper as it was OF the little country
sheet. The newspaper was an or
gam" either political or of some cor
porate interest. But it is true no
longer. In Chicago, for instance. the
big successful papers are no longer
tied up with the street car companies.
or the railroads, or some financier.
True these interests have their organs,
out these organs are no longer count
ed among the leading newspapers, nor
do they WELD much influence. Nor
are the most successful newspapers
bound by party ties as they once were.
They frequently have political affilia-
tions, but that does not keep them
from criticising their own parties nor
printing news that is against party in
terests. Glance at the Chicago Trib-
une, the Record-HeraId, and the News.
They are the leaders among Chicago
newspapers.
The same thing is true of the coun-
try newspaper in Kansas. Occasion
ally there is a struggling paper that
represents some clique or ring or cor
poration. There was a time when
there were many such. But today the
average Kansas newspaper represents
its editor and its community as
whole. and the editor is usually a man
of force and independence of char
actor.
There are many great names re-
corded on the scroll of Kansas news
many worthy representatives of the
profession as there are today. The
Kansas editor of 1907 stands for high
er ideals than ever before. and incl
dentally he is publishing a better
paper than ever before. He is more
enterprising in his business and he
gets more news. The patent insides
are disappearing because he needs the
space for his home advertisers and for
locals" And incidentally his inf1u-
ence today is far greater than it has
ever been in the history of the state.

men, such as he who used a wart for

There was an extremely mean man
in New Hampshire, who was the pro-
prietor of a hotel. BY his direction
rules were posted in the hosiery for
bidding almost every conceivable priv
ilege to those not guests of the place.
There was absolutely no chance for the
