KANSAS DAY BANQUET.

y
The annual pow wow of the
Republicans was held in Topeka on
the go.
A large crowd of the ardents
, assembled. The machine fellows
rather stole a march on the square
deal crowd.
In fact they laid it all over the
Stubbs crowd. They showed no
mercy. They simply rubbed it in.
They refused to indorse the Stubbs
administration.
They elected every officer of the
association for the coming year.
They browbeat and walked over the
square dealers to fareyouwell. &.
They put up old Bill Hackney to
roast and sizzle them. He did it to
fareyouwell.
There was some excuse for the
treatment the square dealers got.
They had put man on the program
from Iowa, we believe, who is a
hot headed insurgent. One of the
kind of Republicans who delights in
roasting his own party. Who is
never SO happy as when he is
criticising his own party and finding
fault with it and its measures. A
man who seems to think the present
tariff law is the objectionable sin.
We do not think this annual
meeting of the Republicans is the
proper place to air our grievances
against one another or against the
party policies.
1t should be a klud OF love feast.
A sort of getting together and
harm monizing of the discordant ele-
ments, lineup for the coming fray
Not cat and dog scramble.
Neither of the factions has suffi
cient edge over The other that it Cal
afford to be domineerlRg.
We are sorry the boys went te
Topeka with their war paint or
instead of he robes of peace.
The machine crowd went in force
to Try and stampede the crowc
against Stubbs and bring out al
opposing candidate.
Ex Congressman Bowersock wa
the man to be sprung. He balkec
however, and they have no man tc
put up, unless il be some third rate
man who will think it an honor tc
run in face of certain defeat.
Better let the OBJ out boys
Mr.. Stubbs has made a first clas:
governor and given is clean GU
administration and the people o
the state are with him.
He is sure of the nomination TO
a second term. Better let up anf
make it unaaim Gus and begin toot
ing for the party.

TINE FOR HARMONY.


Republican party have been waring
with one another and furnish ing
ammunition for the Democrats
about long enough now, and the
Democrats are not asleep by any
means, but are carefully storing il
all away for future use.
Ths late tariff bill Is not a perfect
document by any means but good
ness knows the Democrats will fad
enough weak places in it when the
time comes without the Republicans
pointing them out before hand.
Were it not for the genera havock
and destruction to our commercial
interests that a Democratic tariff
would create, as it alwas has, we
would be willing to endure our part
of the pangs and sorrows just for
the benefit of a few of our tariff
critics. Everybody knows the
recent law is not just and for the
best interests of the country in
every particular.
There never has been tariff law
that was. There never will be one
so long as man is an imperfect and
selfish being.
The law was enacted by many OF
the brightest men of our country
and by the greatest law making
power on earth. II was made by
the Republican party, by her chosen
representatives and adopted by
them as embodying the essence oil
their united wisdom. Signed by a
Republican president after due
consideration. 1t is party meas
ure and the party must stand or fall
by it.
We freely admit that some of the
interests got more favors than y
seem to deserve and more than they
need, but it seems to have been the
best law that it was possible to
make with congress constituted as
it was.
All told it is good law and as
nearly equitable as any We have
ever had and probably little more
so. 1t is working well. Our
country Is wonderfully prosperous
IN all lines. The factories are al
work and labor generally employed.
More industries are springing up
every day, aad old factories extend
ing and wages advancing. There
never was time in the Uaited
States when the farmer got as great
returns for his labor as now. He
is prosperous and happy. His sons
are in college and his daughters
studying domestic economy in the
best schools of the land. Durin !
the civil war the farmer realized
about the same prices for his
produce and occasionally a little
more al times, but he had 10 pay
many times more for what he
bought. We have had our fling and
it is now time to get together and
shape up to fight the common
ensmy. Quarreling with one another
only gives assurance to the opposing
party and makes it harder to keep
the control of the tariff in the hands
of its friends.

BOYCOTTING THE BOY
COTTERS.

There is an element OF grim
humor in the present situation
which is bringing protests from
union labor against the proposition
Of the farmers to boycott the
boycotters of meat. AS long as the
boveott was the exclusive weapon
of the consumers 1t was righteous
weapon. But when this same
weapon is welded by the farmers
as a means of retaliating against
those who are fighting their
products, the matter takes on
another phase. There is little
chance, however, that the plan OF a
general farmer's boycott will have
much effect, because, principally,
it is not practicable. But it Ill be-
comes the habitual users OF the
boycott to come forward now and
complain because they are desed
with their own medicine. The
farmers have some we'll established
rights, among which is the right to
fight those who oppose them with
whatever legitimate weapons are al
hand.
In truth, the unions have coutrib
uted materially to the high cost OF
things quite as much as the farmers
il not more. The carpenters OF
Kansas City are even now demand
ing an increase in their pay, and 81
are the bricklayers. Whether they
are entitled to this increase is not
now the question. TIE farmers did
not organize to maintain high prices.
They merely took advantage OF
market conditions as they found
them, and for this reason reprisals
upon the farmers are hardly
justified. The people of this
eountry have required the best
products of the farms. They have
asked for good meat, fresh eggs,
the highest quality Of -four and
butter, and this demand has been
met. All of sudden these
customers find that they can't afford
to patronize the farmers at prevail
ing prices. Their aetiSn takes the
form of pere mptory boycott, aSd
the farmers are left with their goods.
Can the boycetters blame the
farmers if they do the same thing
their customers did?
Secretary James Wllsen of the
department of agriculture has
pointed out that it Is high living
rather than the high est of things
that has brought on the present
crisis. There is no doubt of the
truth of this statement. The
American people live higher and
better tkan any other people on the
globe. The reason for this is thai
they have more money, and money
breeds appeuties for luKuries
There are abuses in our system
beyond doubt, but the
fuLda amental fact remains that the
law of supply and demand cannot
be set aside for any length of time
by boycott or any other purely
arbitrary scheHe of reprlsal.
People with the money to pay for
the best food are not going to
starve themselves and their families
even for a principle. The farmers
need not fear that their troubles
will be more than temporary.

Special Correspondence.

Washington; D. c., Jan. AZ
Kansas is IN the spotlight this week
in the sessions of Congress. The
Agricultural Appropriations bill is
up for discussion, and will probably
consume eight or. nine days more
before it comes to a vote. The
bill is in charge of Representative
Scott, the chairman of the House
committee on agriculture, and he is
making a strong fight to have it
passed in the form in which it comes
from the committee.
During the entire consideration
of the agricultural bill, Representa-
tive Campbell will be in the chair,
as speaker pro TEN, thus bringing
the second and third Kansas dis
tricts very prominently into public
notice; and it may be noted right
here that both Of those gentlemen
are winning golden opinions from
the veterans, both on the floor and
in the galleries.
CAMPBELL AGRICUL1 URAL SCHOOL BILL
Representative Campbell has Ia
troduced bill in the House provid
ing for the establishment of a school
of agriculture at the Chillocco
Indian School, in Oklahoma.
The Campbell bill provides for
the sale of one-half of the 8 ooc
acres of land now attached to the
school and using the proceeds
towards equipPiag the proposes
school of agriculture. The bill was
referred to the committee on Indian
affairs, of which Mr.. Campbell is d
member and Mr. Burke of South
Dakota is chairman.
SENATOR CURTIS BETTER.
Senator Curtis is recovering from
his attack of grippe. He has been
able to get down to his office in the
Senate offices building and clean up
some of the accumulated work on
his desk. AS the correspondence
of the senior Senator from Kansas
is very voluminous, and as he
insists Oh answering every letter
personally, he was well tired out by
the time he closed his desk for the
day. He was well enough last nigh
to attend the reception given by the
Vice President to the members ot
the Senate and House of Represen
tatives.
KANSAS PENSION APPLICANTS FoRTU
NATE.
The members of the House Ct
Representatives from Kansas are
congratulatlng themselves upon the
fact that Senator Curtis is on the
Senate committee on pensions, ano
that he has assigned to him the bills
tor the states of Kansas, Nebraska
and Missouri. Every pension bill
that passes the House is sure to
receive the immediate attention oi
Senator Curtis, and he has reported
favorahly all the bills that have
reached him.
Incidentally, l discovered the
other day one of the reasons that
the Senior from Kansas obtains SC
many favors from the Departments
here for his constituents. One oi
the heads of Department was In
the Senator's Office on business, and
after he had hnished what he had to
say, Senator Curtis surprised him
by producing a memorandum from
his desk, and expressed his personal
thauks for certain favors done
Kansas citizens by that identical
Department Official. The latter
expressed his surprise that the
Senator should know of all Of the
transactions, and wsnt away in q
decidedly pleasant frame Of mind
and 1t is safe to say that any man
frem Kansas having business to
transact with that official will moi
find himself hampered by an un.
