The Kansas penitentiary board
certainly did a senseless thing when
it refused to renew the contract to
keep Oklahoma's prisoners until
such time as the new state com
pletes a penitentiary. 1t is barely
possible that the effect of this pet
ty spite work will be to turn the
Oklahoma convicts loose on Kan
sas people. The contract expires
January SYST and 50 far Oklahoma
has made no arrangements to take
charge of the prisoners. If the
prisoners are not claimed by the
3Ist they can be released on habeaS
corpus. If Oklahoma had a repub-
lican administration there would
have been no trouble in renewing
the contract.

Asking Questions.

why did no secret service
man shadow Theodore Roosevelt
and Edward H. Hartman while
they arranged the details of the
$4,000 campaign contribution
which Mr.. Hartman boasted turn
ed $4,000 votes In New York;
."Why did no secret service man
follow George B. Cortelyou while
he was collecting a Roosevelt cam
paign fund from trusts and corpor-
ations which it had been his duty
as secretary of commerce to inves-
tigate?
"Why was no secret service man
on the heels of Mr.. Roosevelt's cam
paign fund assessor when $780,
600 was collected from the Stand
ard Oil Company and $4,000
from the great life insurance com
panies?
Possibly it was an oversight or
MIR. Roosevelt's part that no secret
service men were assigned to spy
upon his own peculiar relation.

Soon after the delivery of the
presidents message relating to the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company
IN which the president admitted
that he consented to the absorption
OF that company by the steel trust,
Senator Culberson, of Texas, in
troduced resolution instructing
the judiciary committee to report
to the senate whether, In its
opinion, the president was author.
lied to permit that absorption.
Senator Culberson said: "The
presidents position in denying that
congress had authority to direct a
head of a department by a resolu-
ton of inquiry is Characteristic of
the distinguished occupant of the
White House, and it is a corollary of
the main dogma that he is absolv-
ed from any legal restraint what
ever. Mr.. Culberson cited legal
authorities to prove that congress
IS empowered to place restrictions
on heads of executive departments
to direct their acts. He read a
statement in which the attorney
general was quoted after the alb
sorPtion Of the Tennessee Coal and
Iron company by the United States
Steel corporation by the statement
that he would proceed in the courts
against the steel corporation if the
steel corporation should violate
the law in the respect of restraint
OF trade The senate adopted the
resolution.

An Associated Press dispatch
from Philadelphia, December, g,
follows: "W. J. Bryan was asked
today concerning his attitude to-
ward another nomination for the
presidency. He replied: "All l
can say about 1919 is that / hope
it will never be necessary for me to
run for Office again. l prefer to do
my work as a private citizen.
When asked whether ! would re-
fuse in advance ever being a candi.
date again have said that would
not promise anybody not to be a
candidate for any Office. | will
add one other thing, and that is
that | am still In politics and ex-
pect to be for about twenty years,
and shall make it convenient to
be present whenever man or group
of men attempt to Iepublicanize
the democratic party. Six million
five hundred thousand voters of the
democracy endorsed the platform
adopted at Denver. / am satisfied
that great majority of those who
voted the ticket honestly believed
In the platform and shall cooper.
ate with them rather than those who
would attempt to conciliate the
special interests that have defeat
ed the democratic party and now
dominate the country through the
republican party. ! have no re-
grets over the recent campaign;
everything was done that we could
see at the time should be done.
OF course, some things have ap-
peared in a new light since, but
we did all that appeared to US right
TO do at the time. | have no re-
gretS about my course IN regard to
Colonel Guffey. He conspired to
defeat the will of the democratic
party IN Pennsylvania, after it had
been expressed at the primaries
and | believe in the right of the
people to rule. Any man who de-
hberately violates that proposition
can not be a leader In any party
that deserves to be called the dem
ocratic party We polled ia 900
more votes in this state this year
than we did four years ago, when
Colonel Guffey represented the
Pennsylvania democracy on the ma
tional ticket and / think we can
get along without him"

The legislature of Oregon last
week elected Ex-Governor Cham
berlain, a democrat, U. S. senator
of that state, in accordance with
the popular vote at the state cleo
ton. Great pressure was brought
on the republican members of that
body to disregard the instructions
of the people and elect a republi-
can but they feared to violate their
pledges. A majority of them had
pledged themselves in the primary
to vote for the man who got the
most votes at the general election,
regardless of party lines. Cham
berlain received an overwhelming
majority over his republican OPP
ponent and it was up to the legis-
lature to make good. Here is one
instance IN which a republican leg
islature IS to be commended.

Surely it can not be given as one
of the reasons for doubling the
presidents salary, that able men
could not be secured at $4,000,
the present salary. At every con-
vention the most learned scramble
for the nomination and there is no
dearth of candidates. 1t would be
more in keeping with good bust
ness judgment to cut the salary
to $4,000 than to raise it to
100000.

worst feature about it was that
bids were not received and one
Topeka dealer got the contract at
an Outrageous figure. The demo

graft solidly.
