means. Being on the side out of
office they as yet have had little
chance to be charged with graft
and corruption. So it is the par
tial Democrat who is the victim
of the misstatements and who is
responsible for the mixed list

for the Kansan who ha0 really

This, of course, not the

The Supreme Court of the
United States has held as con
stitutional the Kentucky law
which provides for a separation
of the races in schools and rail
road cars. The point was set
tied on an appeal presented by
tina management of Berea Col
lege, which had suffered a fine
of 81, 900 in connection with the
statute forbidding the education
of white and negro students in
one school.
While it is a fact that in many
Northern schools negroes have
been educated with white men
and women, there is small
ground for dispute in connection
with a similar situation in the
South. The people of Kentucky
for many generations to come
will not care for the mixed
school, Other Southern States
will take the same position. In
the North, too, eventually there
will come a time, if the mixture
proves too pronounced, when
there will bea revolt against a
too free mingling of the races in
places of education. Particularly
will this be 50 when the sex
question becomes involved. Co
education has it's defenders and
its opponents even when there
is but one race under the roof Of
the school; but the introduction
of the negro puts quite a diff
ferent complexion on the natter
all jokes apart.

seems to stand in the way of the
apparent discrimination sug-
gested by the State laws; but, as
we know from frequent sup
porting instances, doctrine does
not always work out in practice.
There is a higher law which is
known as race instinct that con
trolls sentiment in the south

Speeches and Votes.

1t may seriously be questioned
ifone solitary vote cast for Taft
or for Bryan went to him as the
result of a public speech by him
or any of his campaigners or
spellbinders. The plain fact is
that most men who attend a
political rally" in aid of a can
idate for public Office are of the
political party to which that can
didate belongs, and go to the af-
fair for the chief purpose of hear
ing him publicly eXtolled; while
the few of the opposing party
who attend go not for enlighten-
ment as to how they should vote,
but with the idea of hearing
something that they can critcise
or find some fault with. Cam
paign speeches are the product
of an era antedating the daily
newspaper and its practically
universal use in this country. And
it is not wholly nconceivable that
the day may dawn, when a mon
ey-less camgaign will be the rule
and not the exception New

CREDULlTY.

The recent election shows that
thereare too many voters and
other inhabitants of the State of
Missouri who let the Kansas
City Star and the magazines do
their thinking for them. Such
people as a rule are high minded
individuals who desire to make
the world, the country and the
state better. In casting their
ballots they are perfectly con-
scientious and vote in every in
stance for the man they consider
the best for the place. Their
motives are almost altogether un.
selfish and laudable.
But these people are given over
too much to prejudice, intoler-
ance, hatred, unwillin gness to
reason, lack of fairness. TIC
them every utterance of the Kan
sas City Star is inspired truth,
every contradiction to the Kan
sas City Star the despairing a.
buse of an old machine politician.
For the greater part they are
self-styled Democrats who vote
at the primary and occasionally
take a share in party demonstra-
ton. Republicans are just hav-
ing their first touch of power in
Missouri and do not yet apprec.
