NO PLACE FOR POLITICS.

Several Topekans who are opposed
to the commission form of govern
nlent got together recently and organ
lied a movement for the purpose OF
defeating the proposition that this plan
of government be tried in this city.
That is their privilege and they are
not to be criticised for so doing, and
especially in view of the fact that they
are going to make their fight In the
open. Those are the kind of opponents
that every one likes to meet.
But it does not seem fair that they
should label their efforts as a Demo-
cratic'' movement. 1t is well within
the truth to say that there are many
good Democrats in this city who are
Just as much in favor of the commits
sion system of government as are
oIher men who happen to be Repub-
Leans. And any man who opposes the
ian just because he is a Democrat is
not very familiar with the tenets OF
his party as to municipal rule. Demo-
Gratis, the country over, have ever
yelled themselves hoarse for home
rule for cities The commission form
of government provides far greater
home rule for city than any other
system for municipal control which has
ever been devised. 1t is essentially
Democratic in all of its details and
articularly because of the fact that 1t
provides for the initiative and referen-
Gum, for the recall and other prin-
oiples for which the Democrats have
always been contending.
1t would also appear to be serious
mistake to try and inject the question
as to whether or not Topeka is to have
a commission form of government into
politics One of the salient features
of this system is taht it reduces to a
n inimum the political influence which
has always prevailed to a greater or
less extent in the administration of
civic affairs. It would be just as much
of a misguided effort to line up Re
publicans for the proposition as it
would be to line UP Democrats against
it, That there should be a division of
sentiment among the voters of the city
on this important question, is only
Ea tural. But it is not difference of
politics. 1t is merely a difference of
their beliefs as to the efficacy of the
cid system of municipal government
which Topeka now enjoys and the
possibility of a much better govern
ment under the commission plan. At
least, that is all the difference of opin-
on which should exist, and any effort
to drag the question into politics is a
y isconceived one.

MEXICO AND SLAVERY.

Some astounding statements are MADE
by John Kenneth Turner in the Novem-
Der American Magazine. writing under
the title of "Barbarous Mexico" a
country he has visited for period of
two years to collect the data which he
has embodied into his remarkable series
of articles. OF a certain phase of the
deportation of the Yaqui Indians by the
Mexican government. Mr.. Turner says:
1.-THE secret which lies at the roots OF
the whole Yaqui affair was revealed to
me and the whole matter summed up
in few words by a colonel in the Mex
lean army, in one of the most remark
able interviews which obtained during
my entire trip to Mexico,
For the past four years this officer
has been one of those in immediate
charge of transporting all the Yaqui
exiles to Yucatan. 1 was fortunate
enough to take passage on the same
steamer with him returning from Pro-
greso- to Vera Cruz. He is a stout,
comfortable, talkative old campaigner of
about sixty years. The steamship people
put us in the same stateroom, and, as
the colonel had some government passes
which he hoped to sell me, we were
soon on the most confidential terms.
"'In the past three and one-half
years. he told me. I have delivered just
fifteen thousand seven hundred Yaquis
In Yucatan-deliEered. mind you, for you
must remember that the government
never allows me enough expense money
to feed them properly, and from 10 to
20 per cent die on the journey.
"'These Yaauis' he said, sell in
Yucatan for SOS apiece-men, women
and children. Who gets the money ?
Well, $40 goes to me for my services.
The rest is turned over 10 the secretary
of war. This. however. is only a drop
in the bucket. for 1 know this to be a
fact, that every foot of land, every
building, every COW. every burro, every
thing left behind by the Yaauis when
they are carried away by the soldiers, Is
appropriated for his private use by the
official in authority of the locality from
which they have been removed
$50 according to this man, who has
himself made at least s157 008 out of the
business, the Yaauis are being deported
for the money there is in it-frst, the
money from the appropriation of their
property, second. the money from the
sale of their bodies. He declared to me
that the depertations would never stop
until the last possible dollar had been
squeezed out of the husinesS''
