THE GAME

The Republicans 1of Oklahoma will
not get much sympathy in their howl
against gerrymander. That is the game
of politics. Had the Republicans car
ried the constitutional convention the
legislative districts would have been
safely Republican. If Oklahoma cares
more for offices than for statehood then
there is no use in bringing it into the
Union.-Lawrence Journal

THE radical utterances of old man

we deplore his unwarranted attacks on

such wild denunciation and predictions
as our people listened to last evening
are likely to produce an unsettled con-

KANSAS CONMENT
THEN AND NOW.

! LIEN AND NOW.
How the wheel of fate revolves. Fiji
Teen years ago Joseph Ralph Burton
STOOD before an audience that filed
| every seat in the Grand opera house
at Iopeka. and held joint debate with
W. A PETER, seeking to convince the
| audience that PETERS diatribes against
Ine condition of the times were vision
by tnat the evils of which he com
plalneu were only the imaginary wrongs
conJured up by demagogues who sought
TO elevate themselves,
Last Monday night Mr.. Burton stood
IN the same place and denounced the
poHtlcal community of interests
jumped upon the great golden dragon,
TAXED OF the Iron heel of oppression
SKINNED Wall street. and said things
ABOUT the federal judiciary that would
have made the utteranees of PETER
ana Jerry Simpson and Mary E. Lease
10 years ago sound tame and fiat. Fiji
Teen years ago the audience was ex-
cited and tense, and the partisans of
PETER and Burton glared at each 9TH
er Monday night only $50 people came
out to hear Burton. and they yawned
some.
The lesson of the incident is that
everybody now knows that something
IS wrong. No political party can now
claim any rights of original discovery
as to the facts. The "IkelheimerS"
and the others have been convicted in
the public mind and the great red
dragon is on the run. The federal
Judiciary is under grave and somewhat
of the same literature, a trif1e better
written, than confronted us during the
days of Populism, the only difference
being that in 1890 it was Populism
rampant and in rags, today it is Pop
ulism dressed up and speaking politely.
II the present period of clamor against
the existing evils were accompanied by
hard times we would have an exact
repetition of Is years ago in Kansas.
The wrongs are still here, and the per-
iod is full of ambitious men who would
like to ride these wrongs into public
office. But it is hard to get citizen
stirred up about political or civic
wrongs when he is trying to find some
way to get his business orders filled. |
1t is difficult to get q man to stop and
talk about the slavery of the money
power when he can't get men for love
or money to take some of the vacancies
in his factory or store or on his farm. |
People are intensely interested in the
conditions, but they haven't time to
get up a parade, or organize school
house meeting.
The air is filled full of Populism, but |
the times have made the people i'm |
mune.
They are going to vote with intelli-
gence and effectiveness; they are going |
to hold less closely to party lines; they |
are going to mix more elaboration and |
purpose with their ballots than ever be- |
fore, but they are too busy to get ex- !
cited and hold joint debates.-Wichita |
Eagle.

The referendum is right and central

contradictory but it is not. The people

He Denies the Reports That His Mis-

returned to Washington today from !
the south, where he has been for the
past week, primarily on an inspection
tour Of southern postofces. Mr..
Hitchcock said he had learned only
today that his trip had been given a
political significance in newspapers in
the north in which the statement ap-
peared that he was on mission for
the President to ascertain first hand
regarding any new direction in the
Republican sentiment Of the South.
Mr. Hitchcock denied with empha-
sis that the President had directed his
movements.
''It is true he continued, "that

.'In those States which visited-t
South Carolina, Georgia and Florida

Referring again to the question Of
