eral Bell chief of staff of the United
States Army, has ordered that the new
special bullet. being in an experimental
state. viii not be used in the national
rifle match this year. Another reason
is that the fiat trajectory of the bullet
gives it greater accuracy. and to utilize
the missile the rear sight would have
to be regauged, which could not be
done accurately before the time for
holding the matches. The new bullet
being more pointed than the old onG

Leland and stubbs.

The Chronicle has discovered In
some old files of the REFLECTOR that
this paper once criticised some action
Of Cy Leland. OF course it is a great
joke for paper like the Chronicle,
whose editor signed s. $. Smiths
nomination papers urging him into
race and within q month turned
against him and abused home man
to the disgust Of the Republicans
Of Dickinson county, to talk of SON
sistency. That record is fresh in the
minds OF this community.
But
II everything ever charged by any
body at any time against Cyrus Lee
land were true,
This paper vastly prefers him for
governor and believes he would make
a better chief executive Of Kansas,
more capable, more businesslike, with
better ideas Of intelligent, honest
government and better comprehen-
sion of Republican principles
Than W. Z. Stubs.

Matter Of Honor.

A good many things have to be
done on honor in politics and in
government. 1t is the only way in
which men can accomplish results.
Unless we car trust one another we
cannot be certain Of anything. Under
the new primary law representatives
and senator's are instructed for whom
to vote for United States senator, but
there is nothing to compel any man
to obey his instructions. 1t is pre-
sumed that his honor will hold him
to carry out the wishes Of his consti'
tuents. So presidential elector has
nothing but honor to compel him to
vote for his party candidate for Presi-
dent.
The papers supporting Judge Rees
are claiming that he cannot be "com'
PEELED" TO give up the Office Of con-
gresham II he should be elected to
it, regardless Of what the law and the
constitution say. But isn't there
something Of honor connected with
this proposition He hiss sOlemnly
taken his oath before God that he will
uphold and obey the laws and the
constitution Of Kansas. He has been
sitting on the bench Of his district,
administering justice and standing
for the law Of the state. Is 1t not q
pretty cheap view Of his honor 10 say
that II he can grab an office that pays
more money than the one he now
holds, be is willing to abandon his
sworn oath OF Of adherence to tbeeon-
stitution and to the laws Of Kansas,
and that he will lower himself to
violate those obligationsP A district
judge is Supposed TO have a higher
sense Of honor than that, and 1t is q
mighty poor accommodation for his
sense Of personal obligation for 8
Judge to take this ground. The
voters Of the Fifth district are apt to
pass a severe Judgment on that kind
Of acknowledgements Blade.

Only Few Left.

A fine example Of the old fashioned
newspaper idea that the opposition tc
an individual politically must be &C.
companied by offensive personal at
tacks and boycotting is seen in the
Chronicle Of this city. Its opinion Ia
that no man may oppose certain prin-
ciples without raisiug his hand in
bitterness against everyone who main
tains those principles; that no paper
can support one man for an office
without villifying and abusing every
other candidate for that office. Be-
cause the editor Of the REELECTION
greeted as usual Congressman Calder
head when he visited the city 1t
throws a fit. 1t evidently thinks that
the proper way is to swat with club
every other candidate except the one
the paper supports and that it is a
grave breach Of political faith to
speak to any candidate whom one is
not supporting. Few such papers
exist ia these days. That silly idea
has passed away. Some of the best
friends this papers publishers ever
had during the Populist days, when
it was opposing the Populist party,
belonged to that organization; some Of
their best friends today, and some Of
the finest men in this town, are DEM
ocrats; some Of their best friends are
''square dealers" though this paper
does not advocate the ideas Of that
faction. When the time comes that
the editors Of this paper cannot separ-
ate politics from friendship and from
social courtesy, when they cannot
oppose principles and policies with
out making attacks personally on the
men who honestly hold such ideas,
they will quit the newspaper business
and start dynamite factory. This
is the position Of newspapermen gen.
orally in this age; only few Of the
old hate-poisoned kind remain,

sailed the record Of Judge o. I.
Moore, saying that he has lost a great
er per cent Of cases in the supreme
court than any other judge in the
state. and had greater per cent Of
cases appealed to the supreme court
over his decisions. The records show
that Judge Moore has rendered over
1000 decisions in this district, and
that less than five per cent OF them
have been appealed to the supreme
conrt. This leaves ninety-fve per
cent in which the judgments have
apparently been entirely satisfactory,
and as for those appealed, he has lost
lost less than the average.
Three-fourths Of the district judges
Of the state have had a higher per-
centage Of cases appealed than has he,
which shows that his record is far,
above the average, and every Judge Of
the supreme court of the state after
eight years Of deciding cases appealed
from his decisions, gave his written
Endorsement Of the competency and
qualifications Of Judge Moore.
Taken all in all he has an enviable
reputation and one Of which any judge
could be exceedingly proud. He de-
serves the support of the voters all
over the district, and will get it.
