United States senators, the governor
and some other officers high IN pnb-
lie life are spending their time find
ing fault with the President Of the
United States, and, though elected
as Republicans are asserting that
the national Republican policy Y in
opposition to the platform Of the
marty. there ought to be an express
Ison from those who really have some
confidence in President TAFT that
would indicate where Kansas stands
No question whatever exists re-
parding the great mass of Republic
cans of Kansas. They have been
Republicans for a great many years
and many Of them helped make the
Republican party what 1t is. They
have little patience with men who
because their own personal affairs
seem to be aided by attacking the
administration are denouncing
everything that the Republican con-
gress and the Republican President
do. The majority of the people OF
Kansas are pretty well satisfied with
this government and the Republi-
cans generally believe that the way
to get good government and keep
Il is to act with the whole party
East and West. They have no sym
natbv with the kind Of politicians
who are perpetually roaming OH the
reservation, declaring that they
alone are perfectly pure and honor
able and everybody else a rascal
This is particularly true OF the SELF
appointed patriots who now presume
to dictate what the Republicans OF
Kansas shall believe.
Under our present primary law
there is no way in which the rank
and file Of the Republican party
can express itself on public policies
The platform is made by candidates
after they have been nominated and
ia framed in accordance with all
the vagaries which they think Will
gain them votes. The everyday eltl-
zen who thinks he ought to have
some voice in his party's council ano
in the sentiments for which Kansas
Republicans shall stand, has no pos
sible way Of SO doing.
It would be a good healthy ex'
perience and would help to cieai
the political atmosphere to hold .

In a Brighter LIGHT.

Until quite recently the cells of
prisoners in The penitentiary
were lighted with coal oil lamps.
Now that a Republican admins
tration is in charge they are
lighted by electricity. There are
no lamps TO explode or to be
dangerously used; none TO al the
small sleeping places with the
smell OF coal oil, or the smoke
OF its flame. The electricity
costs nothing practically as 1t
comes from a plant necessarily
operated for other purposes.
