SILLY.

Have you figured out yet why all
the big daily papers are bowling for
primary election law? It is because
with such a law they will have the
candidates a their mercy. Most daily
papers are like the professional re-
formers-they howl loudest when the
gate receipts are the largest.-Os-
borne Farmer.
This is an argument that a few-a
very few-papers are using against
the primary law. They assert that
the big daiIies that circulate in Kan
sas are for a primary because it will
enable them to hold up" the candi-
dates.
The editor of the Farmer is among
the bright newspaper men of Kansas
and he is usually fair, but it does not
speak well for his intelligence when
he puts forth such an argument as
that in his columns. How many peo-
pie of any intellect whatever believe
that the State Journal, the Topeka
Capital, the Leavenworth Times, and
the Kansas City Star are advocating a
direct primary because they wish to
hold up candidates? Such an as
sertion Is so absolutely silly that it
must be credited to the silly season.
Some of the politicians assert that
papers tremendous power. Which is,
In way, true. and that power will be
taken from the politicians and pro-
fessional fxers-which Is why the
politicians are against it. This power
will lie in the newspapers simply be-
cause the newspapers are the modern
media of communication with the
people. And the country weekHes.
which are closest to the, people, will
exert a great percentage of this pow
er-those of them that command the
confidence of their readers.
This power of the newspapers,
however, will be exerted simply in
conveying the facts to the people. The
newspapers will be divided in opinion,
as they always are, and every candi-
date will have a hearing. Then the
people will decide whom they want.
At present the politicians come to-
gether and decide for them, and it is
not unusual that the politicians foist
on the people a candidate of whom
they know nothing, and whose sole
strength lies in the fact that he could
trade delegates.

CoNCERNING TAFT CLUBS.

Sometime ago the organization of
Taft club" in Topeka was announc-
ed, but the organization appeared so
peculiar and had such an appearance
of being for another purpose than
furthering the presidential candidacy
of Secretary Taft, that many Republi-
cans-sincere admirers of the secre-
tary of war-shied at 1t. Nothing has
been heard of the Taft club since,
and a Kansas editor asks what is the
matter with 1t. Now comes the Holton
Recorder with this comment:
An exchange says the Taft boom
has fiattened out in Kansas. 1t draws
its conclusion because no Taft clubs
have been organized. The people of
Kansas are for Taft as strong as ever,
but one reason no Taft clubs have
been organized is that the corporation
politicians all clambered into the Taft
band wagon and prepared to capture
the Taft organization The SINGERS
Taft men did not fancy an organiza-
ton of Taft clubs led and controlled
by Dave Mulvane. who has no more
other corporated trusts have"
AS a matter of fact, the Republi-
cans of Kansas constitute a big
Taft club, and there appears to be no
necessity of any other. Taft is the
favorite with four-fifths of Kansas
Republicans but they do not approve
an attempt to attach any other cart
to the Taft band wagon in order to
get said cart hauled.

THEN AND NOW.

The changes that have been
wrought in modern life are greatly
emphasized when ones attention is
| called to comparisons of what was
| with what is.
For many years after the late Jus
tice Valentine, who died a few days
ago, went on the supreme bench,
there were no street lights in Topeka
to speak of. For 80 years the Valen-
tine family has lived in the old home
on Polk street, and it was Judge VAL
entine's frequent practice. to work not
only all day. but to go pack to his
desk after supper and put in the
evening at his work And on such oc-
casions he carried a lantern to light
him to the state house and back.
Think of that in these days OF cleo
trfcity and other modern conven-
iencesi A supreme court justice taking
his trusty lantern in hand, after the
evening meal. and going to his work
through the unlighted streets of the
capital of a great state!
The work of a supreme court Jus
tice was somewhat different in those
days from what 1t is now, also. Then
a judge had no stenographer to keep
track of records and to take his dicta-
tions. The case records, some of
which now I'LL hundreds of pages of
typewriter testimony, in those days
were written out in long hand. and
judge had to wade through a great
mass of written papers. Then, in
stead of debating his opinion to a
stenographer, the judge had to take
his own pen in hand and write his
opinion-a much more laborious
method than debating IT to a speedy
typewritist. That is why a supreme
court justice thirty years or more ago
worked nights as well as days at his
desk. Incidentally it might be noted
that the work of Judge Valentine
runs from the fifth to the f1ftieth VOL
ume of Kansas supreme court re-
ports. instead of to the thirtieth, as
has been previously stated.
This modern life of ours is far diff
ferent from that of the builders of
this great commonwealth Are our
achievements correspondfngly en-
larged?

FoRAKEKR,s BAD BREAK.

FORAKEKR'S BAD BREAK.
Viewing the incident from afar IT can
not be said that Senator J. B. Foraker
of Ohio has furthered his own political
ambitions, either presidential or sena-
torial, by his latest epistolary effort to
convince the members of the Republican
state central committee of the Buckeye
commonwealth that they should refrain
from indorsing the candidacy of Secre-
tary of War Taft.
By a vote of fifteen to six these COM
mitteemen went right ahead and ex-
pressed the opinion with proper where
as and resolved" that Bill Taft is at
present Onio's only and favorite son and
that majority of the people of Buck
eyedom desire to see him in the presi-
Dental chair. Before the accomplish
ment of this act Senator Foraker had
pleaded that such a resolution would be
without significance; it was ridiculous
to assume that twenty-one men could
voice the opinions of the Republican
voters of Ohio. This line of argument
is open to serious question. 1t is more
than likely that twenty-one men coming
from differ ent sections of the state could
do 1T to a satisfactory nicely and their
verdict is a straw showing unmistaka-
bly, the direction of the political wind in
Ohio.
In one respect Senator Foraker was
unfortunate in choosing his ground for
6iscrediting Taft He intimated tina.

tariff revision without waiting for the
consent of the strenuous 'standpatters.' >
If this is true the Taft vote in Ohio is
likely to be abnormal-ma1y of the

While the Buckeye contest will continue
to attract attention it now has a dimin-
ishing interest-Senator Foraker has
evidently fallen down.-Los Angeles Ex-
