The Kansas senate ''lodge" no
doubt believe that it was playing
what is termed in that state
Smooth politics" when it passed
in the special session one
of its famous Substitutes" for a
law recommended by Gov. Hoch.
During the regular session last win
ter the senate ''lodge" enacted
Substitute" for practically every
law demanded by the people. The
House passed at that session a pri-.
mary bill, 2-cent fare bill, rail
road freight rate measure and the
senate substituted in each case a
meaningless, makeshift law that
was not satisfactory to any inter
est except the corporate interests
Of the state. In order to secure
some legislation on these subjects
the House was forced to accept the
bogus Substitutes and Gov. Hoch
reluctantly signed them. The Sen
ate attempted the same method in
dealing with the bank deposit bill
last week. 1t was not courageous
enough to kill the Quincy bill out
right, but it enacted a substitute
that practically defeated the meas
ere. Gov. Hoch, however, vetoed
the law and the ''lodge" members
are afraid to return to their con-
stituents upon such record. On
the other hand, there is some doubt
as to whether they can reconvene
the legislature in order to extricate
themselves from the trap in which
they have been caught.-Kansas

Mr. BRYAN's POSITION

Several newspapers recently
printed the statement that Mr..
Bryan had written to a friend in
the east that he would decline the
democratic nomination for the
presidency should it develop that a
certain portion of the delegates to
the Denver convention were oppos-
ed to him. Mr.. Bryan made no
such statement. His position was
clearly described in a statement
printed in the Commoner of No
vember 18th. That position is well
told by this extract from the No
vember IS statement:
"Mr. Bryan will not ask for or
seek nomination; and he will
not assume to decide the question
of his availability. He has been
so amply recompensed by his party
for what he has done and for what
he has endeavored to do that he
can not claim a nomination as
reward; neither should his ambi-
ton be considered, for he has had
honors enough from his party to
satisfy any reasonable ambition.
The only question that ought to
weigh with the party is whether
the party can be strengthened and
aided more by his nomination than
by the nomination of someone else.
If he can serve the party by being
its candidate, he will accept the
commission and make the best
fight he can. If, however, the
choice falls upon another, he will
not be disappointed or disgruntled.
His availability is question not
to be decided by him, not by few
leaders, not even by the leading
newspapers that call themselves
democratic, but by the voters of
the party, and to them he intrusts
the decision of the question-they
are the supreme court in all matters
concerning candidates, as they are
in all matters concerning the plat
FORM"
1t may be added that Mr.. Bryan
does not regard the plutocratic
newspapers that have habitually
misrepresented him, as being quail
flied to speak, even for a minority
of democrats. Those newspapers
speak for "the system" The rank
and file will shape the party's
course at Denver. 1t is not to be
expected that the program adopted
in the interests of the general pub
lie will meet with the approval of
those from whose impositions the
public is even now seeking relief.

Surely the republican papers and
the republican politicians in this
part of the state that arc den0UaC
ing Gov. Hoch must be wrong.
Less than two years ago they were
promising the people of Kansas all
manner of good things Il thew
would only re-ellect noch, Nov
they are telling US that he is train
ing with gang of grafters, is
saddling thousands and thousands
of dollars of needless expense on
the people and is a demagogue
pure and simple. Why don't these
papers and politicians humble
themselves at once and i'm
plore the forgiveness of the
people whom they have fooled into
voting for this man Hoch, if he is
such bad man? Why do they
continue to try to instruct the peo-
pie as to what and whom they
should support in this years cam
paign, since they have condemned
their own advice out of their own
mouths, given two years ago?
Consistency would seem to demand
that these Knights of the Quill and
these platform spellbinders should
go far into the rear and be seated.
When they shout, "Vote for Taft"
they are almost sure to regret it in
after years as much as they are
now regreting having said, "vote
for Hoch."

Mrs. Burton got a verdict against
State Superintendent Dayhoff
for $4,000. Dayhoff and Mrs.
Burton got into controversy over
the school book deal. Mrs. Burton
represented a school book concern
and submitted lower bid than
the bid accepted by the Text Book
Commission of which Dayhof was
the leader by reason Of his official
position. When Mrs. Burton ham,
mered him for it, Dayhoff retaliated
by printing articles rejecting on
her character as a lady, charging
that she broke up a home and
afterward married the husband and
head of said household. Mrs.
Burton brought suit for SANDER,
Dayhoff couldn't make good and

In It's report Of the annual ban,
quet given by the Rockefeller Sun
day school class the New York
Sun of December 10, 1907, says:
Young Mr.. Rockefeller started
boom for Hughes for president and
expressed the hope that as the class
of which the governor was once
the leader had helped to make him
governor it would help to put him
in the White House" The Hughes
boom certainly starts off well.

The republican politicians of
Kansas are now carrying on a
wordy warfare as to where to place
the blame for the failure of the
special session. Governor Hoch
and the house say it is on the
''lodge" members of the senate,
which controlled a bare majority
of that body, while the senate talks
back and blames the governor and
the house for being too radical.
To one occupying neutral ground
it appears that both the governor
and the senate 'lodge" areguilty-
the governor for reposlng conf
dence in the senate after having
the benefit of its awful record in
the regular session, and the senate
for having failed to give the public
what was demanded. The squan-
dering of 100000 and getting
nothing in return, should afford
sufficient provocation for the voters
to call for new deal.

If one-half of the republican
politicians of Kansas are to be
believed, the other half is composed
of thieves and grafters and no mat
ter which faction wins, there is
plenty of republican authority that
the state will be run by gang of
grafters. This should be a suffi-
cient reason to give Kansas DEM
ocratic administration.

Bale Waggener seems to have
gotten to the point where he is a
man without a party. Elected to
the state senate as a democrat, the
democratic party has repudiated
him and condemns his record, the
respectable element in the re-
publican party has only words
of condemnation and aside from
being the recognized leader of the
Fitzpatrick Noftzger machine in
the senate, he has no following and
no political friends. But still the
machine leaders in the republican
party look upon Bale as a Moses.

The "anti-Bryan conference"
which was to be held in New York
City January 23rd, was called off.
The New York American intimates
that the conference" was aban-

sponses. The American says: "Im-
mediately after the publication of
the story of the calling of the con-
ference Governor Smith of Georgia;
Governor Swanson, of Virginia;
Governor Douglas, of Massachu-
sets; John T. McGraw, of West
Virginia, and others repudiated it
and wrote to the American that
they knew nothing of it."

Kansas gets little more patron
age at Washington in the appoint
ment of Andy Richards of Yelling
ton as an assistant attorney for an
Assistont Attorney General. This
is Senator Longs doing, evidently,
for Andy is one of the Long lieu
tenants in the southern part of the
State, one of the ward heeler kind
of general utility drudges, and re-.
garded as rather a smooth worker
in his way. Filling that position
so well, it is pity he couldn't
remain in it. AS an attorney in
the Department of Justice at
Washington he is about as prepos-
ferrous a misft as could be imagin-
ed. So far as we remember to have
heard, Andy has not of late years
been in the practice of law,
although years ago he was admit
ted to the bar and was once de-
feated for county attorney in Sum-
ner county. 1t is a perfectly char
acteristic machine appointment.
Nothing could be more hilarious
than the idea of Andy Richards
engaged in prosecuting the men
guilty of land frauds, for instance.
Such an appointment by Senator
Long indicates that he feels strong
enough in Kansas on the eve of a
primary nomination to take unnec-
essary chances of offending the
State,-Topeka Capital.

CONCERNING JOEL P.

Joel Heatwole as follows:
The Heatwole publicity bureau
made an awful blunder in sending
out an editorial from the Anoka

Heatwole gubernatorial boom. 1t
says he will build up a party or
ganization, will see to it that repub-
licans have the Offices and half
hearted ones will be put aside. !"
odd Pease" has certainly said it.
The republican party of Minnesota
went into decay and defeat at the
hands of the people because it was
so beautifully "organized"d
and damned by men of the Heat
wole stripe machine politicians
and if they hope to get back into
the traces and in good standing
they don't want Joel P. Heatwole
mixed up in the doings. His own
people know this and he can't carry
his own county.
The Pioneer has received several
invoices of clippings, presumably
from Heatwole's press bureau, and
we have consigned the whole batch
to the generous NAV of the waste
paper basket.

ABRAHAM HUMMEL FREE.
New York Lawyer Completes His
Prison Sentence.

PRISON Sentence.
New York, March 2O.-Abraham H.
Hummel, the lawyer who was SEN
fenced to serve year in the peniten-
tiary for conspiracy In connection
with the Dodge-Morse divorce case,
has been released from prison. His
term was reduced to about ten months
by the allowances made for good be-
havior. Hummel had been notified
that he could leave the island on the
workhouse boat, but he chose to wait
until little later, when the regular
boat would make special trip across
the river for him. Dressed in dark
clothes of the latest style, which he
had ordered in anticipation of his re-
lease, Hummel entered the boat in
company with his nephew, Abraham
= H. kaffenburg. Arriving at the pier
on the New York shore they made a
quick dash to a waiting automobile
and were whirled away before any one
could put question to Hummel. It
Is said that arrangements have been
made by Hummels friends for him to
sail for Europe within a few days.
His health has been very poor since
he has been in the penitentiary and it
is in hope that 1t may be restored that
the proposed European trip is to be
undertaken. ..--.--------.-

Cleveland, March 20.-One man was
fatally injured and a number of 9TH
ers seriously hurt in a riot near the
plant of the American Steel and Wire
company on Independence road, in the
southern outskirts of the city. Fifty
men crowded around the gates of the
plant seeking employment, word hay
ing gone out that additional help
would be taken on. A quarrel started
among the men following the attempt
of those in the rear to get closer to
the gate and a general fight began,
the men using stones and clubs as
weapons. One man was armed with
revolver He shot down his opponent,
who had struck him with a rock. At
this juncture a patrol wagon loaded
with police arrived on the scene. The
officers dubbed the rioters right and
left. A number of the rioters were
found lying unconscious on the
ground. Charles Wryciet, one of the
rioters, who was shot, cannot recover.

UNWRlTlNG THE UNwR,TTEN LAW.

squalid ashes of the Thaw divorce.
One year ago Rev. Madison c..
Peters and his pity brigade" had
the whole country rocking in ecstatic
harmony with it. Every murderer
before the bar called it's pleasantly
vague principles to his defense. 1t
began to be applied to lesser crimes.
The written law hung its head in
in awkard embarrassment.
But we are bravely through all
that now. We are no longer argyll
ing ourselves toward appoplexy in
an earnest effort to prove that any
man may kill another man to
avenge a woman's wrong" Matea-
wan and the businesslike suit
for separate maintenance produce
the uncomfortable impression that
the higher law was simply another
name for humbug. We prefer to
think of something else.

New York, March .'.-While the
great transatlantic liner Kronprinz
Wilhelm of the North German Lloyd
line lay at anchor in thick fog off
Staten Island the steamer Crown of
CASTLE ran into the liner and tore a
hole more than ten feet in diameter in
the overhanging stern. The bow of
the Crown Of CASTLE penetrated the
stewards quarters on the Kronprinz
Wilhelm to distance of about fifteen
feet, but nobody was injured. Water
tight doors on the hull of the Kron-
prinz were promptly closed, but it
was quickly ascertained that she had
suffered no damage below the water
line and after a wait of several hours
for the log to tighten she proceeded to
her dock in Hoboken
The Crown of CASTLE, which was
bound in from Rotterdam, belongs to
the New York and Continental line.
No one was injured on board. The
steamers cutwater was partly torn
away near the main deck, but the
damage is slight. a.s
