If the Kansas hank guaranty law
would compel egery bank in the state to
guarantee its deposits. the enemies Of
the law would not have the club with
which to fight it that they now have.
A half-made law is worse than no law
at all. The republican legislators Of
Kansas lack both ability and sincerity.
The state is in need Of democratic hon
esty and wisdom.

The progressive republicans who vot-
ed against the Payne-Aldnch tariff bill
deserve great praise and credit. But
when they attempt to curry favor with
the president by praising him for signing
the bill, they forfeit some Of the respect
which the people entertained for them.
President TAFT is with The Aldrich crowd
body and baggage and always has been.

If the cost Of living is out Of proportion
to the cost Of production; if taxes are so
high as to amount to almost conhscahon;
# the public debt is beyond what would
be reasonably required to make all nece.-
sary public improvements; if there are
three or four times as many politicians on
the pay rolls as are required to do the
work in the transaction Of the public
business; if public officials junket over the
world at public expense-remember that
all this is because the people who vote
"a majority Of them at least) do not ex-
ercise their brain power at the ballot box.
If the American people want economy,
honesty and ability in the public service
they must not be like dumb, driven
cattle" but they must vote intelhgently.
A party slave is low type Of humanity.
