LAFoLLETTE GETS A KANSAS SCALP.

g ENATOR LAFOLLETTE, of Wisconsin,
has another scalp dangling from his CORY
belt. Senator Chester l. Long, of Kansas, has
been defeated for reelection as senator at the
Republican primaries, and he will be succeeded
by Joseph l.. Bristow if the will of the voters is
followed by the Legislature The choice of
senator was put up to the voters at a primary
election and Long has lost. Bristow carried los

Long is one of the senators at Washington who
are under the ban of LaFollette the Wisconsin
radical. The latter accused the Kansan of hob
nobbing with Adrich and Cannon and others of
the conservative coterie. Long resented this in
reference declaring that his conduct was for the
people of Kansas to pass upon.
LaFollette then got after Long The Wiscon-
sin man visited "Chautauquas" in Kansas and
read the record OF Senator Long This stirred up
Brlstow who came out as a competitor against
Long, and the fight was fought to a finish Bris-
tow declared that he would support any measure
IN the Senate that promised to give the people of
Kansas relief from the excessive freight rates to
which he alleged they were subjected, while
Long replied that as senator he would abide by
the decisions of his party caucus.

the nomination for governor, also won at the
Kansas Republican primaries by majority of

posed to be as square as Stubbs
In view of the development in Kansas, It is no
wonder that LaFollette is unpopular" with the
conservative" senators at Washington and that
they ignore him upon every occasion. If LaFol-
lette proposes to circulate throughout the coun-
try with his record of senators and lab those
whom he does not like as fancy dictates. the

HAzING AT WEST POINT.

He final action to be taken on the hazing
n episode at West Point will tell whether
the government is serious in its supposed deter
mnation to break up that practice among the
students at the military academy First it was
announced that the hazers had been expelled
from the institution and then followed conflicting
statements. One of the latter was that the Presi-
dent had overruled the military authorities and
ordered that the cadets should be reinstated on
the ground that the punishment of expulsion was
too severe. Then came another authoritative
statement from Oyster Bay that the President
left in the air.
The offending cadets were tried by the court
martial and pronounced guilty Some influential
persons became busy to save the cadets from
the punishment of dismissal that it was supposed
would surely follow.
If there were a real wish to stop hazing, it
could be abolished instantly by the nhction of
such punishment as dismissal. But if it becomes
known among the cadets that hazing is to be
winked at and that severe punishment is to be
meeted out to a cadet, provided that he has
friends high in court, the practice will be contin-
ued and the discipline of the school necessarily
demoralized.
According to all reports, the West Point haz-
ing is peculiarly offensive, being designed to
show the superiority of one class over another.
In most colleges hazing has fallen into dsuse.
Even when it was in vogue, the fellows hazed
were freshme nof a pronounced brand of fresh
ness" who made themselves obnoxious to the
higher classmen. 1t was very fresh freshman
that was hazed. The practice existed simply be-
cause the college authorities would not stop it.
