Burton on Rees' Right.

Galina Union. L will now cite one
more striking illustration Of the in
difference OF the people 1t is fur
nished in Judge Rees' candidacy for
congress. Rees is a Judge. He has
taken an oath to support the consti-
aution and laws OF Kansas. The con-
stitution says be- shall not be a candi-
date for congress. To give effect to
fhat constitutional inhibition, the leg
anlature Of Kansas has passed statutes.
Ii the face Of the constitution and
laws 50 adopted and passed, Judge
Rees IL q candidate.
He says the constitutional act is
unconstitutional and that the laws
IRE invalid. Rees, therefore, refuses
TO be bound by the constitution and
che laws, be has sworn 10 uphold.
Let US suppose that the constitu-
tional and statutory acts are uncon-
stitutional. Can Judge Rees afford
70 defy the clearly expressed will Of
the people as crystalized into these
legislative actsP
The people have said that they be-
IIeve a Judge should not be a csndi-
didate. They have spoken in great
d~eliberAtion, first, in the constitution
and twice in statutes. First, Al years
ago when the constitution was made
naxt In 1888, when that constitution
had been violated, and again In 1907
when 1t had again been violated. Yet
these restraining acts have no intiu.
ence on Rees,
II the people can make a law to
stop him, they have done 1t. But
what does Rees care for people or
the law. He wantstO 60 to congress.
Yet 80 Indifferent are the people. that
certain newspapers may support Rees
without apparent condemnation. The
people are making money. ReeS and
his friends may buy newspaper sup
port. Square dealers, while denounc-
me machine men-square dealers
Who pretend TO be reiormers-may
support Rees without losing caste
with the people. The, people are
making money and permitting the
politicians to run the government.
Judge Rees never sentenced ; Grim
inal 70 prison who was as guilty Of
law violation as he is in being a can
data for congress.
There can be no disguise Of this
great truth. For q Judge, while
wearing the srmine, to defy tho con.
fiitution and laws he has taken an
oath TO- support, is the worst d
crimes.
Rsss, in being 3 candidate, is raPing
ne Law in the temple Of Justice.
WIll the people continue indifferent

Miss Clemmie Brewer and Mrs. billiard and their pupils will present play at the school house Tuesday night May, 12th, at eight o'clock, entitled "Bibi" consisting of some 60 or 70 characters. The play is most interesting one and these ladies with their pupils prom lse frst-clsss entertainment.
 STORY OF THE PLAY.
 The story represents a dream given to the Toyman's daughter, Katy. by the Sandman. The open ing scene IS in toy shop at night. The Sandman puts the Toyman's s daughter to sleep. In her dream Katy is visited by the retired fairy, Sylvania, who leaves bot tie of magic smelling salts, by means of which all the dolls and toys are brought to life and hold high carnival.
 Among the novelties introduced of particular note are the fasci- hating pictures formed by the Paper Dollies as they glide through the picturesque figures of their dance drill. In striking contrast, though humorously di. verting, is the drill of the Jump. ing Jacks, in effective costumes o1 green and red.
 The carnival scene is brought tc an end by the appearance of the fairy, who summons the Sandman to aid her in getting the dolls back to the toy shop. The Sandman while singing a lullaby, shakes the dreamland tree and sprinkles sleep sand in the eyes of the dolls, transferring them back to their ac- customed places in the toy shop. Katy awakes from her slumber to find that it was all dream. Admis- sion 25 cents.
