THE NEIGHB0Rs.

People everywhere say: I'VE have
the best neighbors in the world"
Which indicates that the people ev-
everywhere are nice. Mrs. Cornell
Botkin died in the California peni-
tertiary the other day. And the day
after she died they took her body up
to a little village in the green hills
Of California and buried her. There
was funeral at the little old house
where her parents lived, and her
mother and father sat together at The
head of the coffin, and the neigh
bors came and brought flowers, and
the preacher from the little country
church preached a simple, kindly
sermon and the village choir sang
SIN the Sweet Bye and Bye" and
Come Ye Disconsolate," quite as
If the woman whose body lay in the
coffin had been a good woman all q II
life, and had never been tried and
sent to the penitentiay for murder.
For Mrs. Botkin's father and mother
did not know that she had died IN
prison. They did not know that she
had ever seen the inside Of prison
anywhere, and they never heard o.
the Butkin case which was one of the
most famous criminal cases ever
tried on the Pacific coast. There is a
little paper in the village where Mrs
Botkin's old father and mother lived
and the paper printed every day az.
counts Of the trial while v was going
on. But they called it the Dunning
case, and spoke always Of Mrs. Bot
kin as the accused, and the old man
and the old woman read the paper
and talked the famous murder case
over together and never even dreamed
that "the accused was their own
daughter. And all the little village
took hold of hands and formed round
the old people a Gordon of silence
and woe be to any one who dared
to try to break through. /. All Of

TAFT or ANTI.TAFT.

The issue in this Congressional
district for the Congressional Repub-
lican nomination is for or against
Taft and his administration. Calder
head stands with Taft and Rees
against him. Rees himself made the
issue in his announcement.
President Taft not only signed the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. but he had
gone on the stump and in the most
emphatic manner said that It was the
best tariff law that had ever been
passed. Rees denounced the law al
a violation of the pledges made BY
the party and called It gold brick
This Of itself puts the Judge against
the president.
But aside from this fact Calderheat
is known to be very close to The
president. The president has no use
for an "insurgent." Rees Is an lin
surgent." Calderhead is a regular

Senator Bristow Of Kansas would
rise in his place and declare that this

because Of their constructive acts
while others arouse interest from
time to time because Of their criti-
clsms. Both kinds of men are highly
useful. 1t is conceded that the SEN
ate needs men who probe and delve

4 UsEFuL CONGRESSMAN.

The Junction city Union speaking
Of Congressman CalderheAd'g efforts
q secure things for his district and
his success in serving his constitu-
ents says:
Congressman Calderhead is recog-
nized in Washington by both the
regulars and insurgents, as one Of
the most able and influential men n
congress, as well as one Of the most
unpretentious. He is 9 close student
Of public questions, and with his
acute, logical mind forms his opin--
ions thereon, and acts and expresses
the same with flrmness and without
reserve. His open, frank. outspoken
manner is admired by hts political
enemies, as we'll as his friends. There
is not the slightest faint of hypocricy
about him, and he is acknowledged
to be absolutely honest and Square"
He never boasts or even refers 70
what he, as congressman, has ac-
complIshed for the country. or even
his constituents. He does his duty
as a public servant as he sees It, with
out expecting the plaudits OF the
press or his constituents therefor.
He never employed a press agent
or requested any newspaper to boom
him.
"He has been instrumental In Sc
curing appropriations for the I'M
provement Of Fort Riley Of over 81
OOO, 900 during the past eight OF ten
years. Do we appreciate what 1t has
meant and what 1t means in the fu-
ture to junction City and Geary
county? He has secured more fed
eral buildings for towns in his dis
trict than any other congressman
during the same length Of time.
ut is an agreeable surprise to
most Of us that in addition to the
material assistance he has rendered
us in the matter of appropriations
for Fort Riley, he is now trying to
secure an appropriation for a site
and a postofflce building thereon n
Junction City and for public build
ings at Abilene and Concordia.
with the retrenchment policy Of
the Taft administration, he doubt
less will have'a hard pull to accom-
plish 1t, but II possible he will do 1t
and we would rather take our chances

NNNWMNN - ANFNN NfNNNNNN"fN~N
The outcome Of the whole 'insur-
gent movement Is now matter Of
record. The great battle against
.cannonism" has been fought. The
|bitterest struggle that the national
house Of representatives has known
since Tom Reeds time h At an end.
And what is the result? The smoke
Of the contest rising shows Speaker
Cannon still in his chair. calm, se-
rene and secure in the confidence Of
an overwhelming majority OF the
house. When he stood in his place
and invited the members TO vote to
depose him and elect a successor,
there was mighty wave Of friendly
demonstration that not only attested
the admiration In which he 10 held
personally by his congressional as
sociates but also proved their conf
dence in his statesmanship. The Re-
publican Insurgents. and their
Democrats allies have succeeded In
changing the manner Of choosing the
rules committee Of the house. This
is important In its way, but II was
not the prize for which the "insur-
gents" have contested so sayagely
for the last three years. They had
set their hearts upon deposing the
speaker. They made "Cannonism"
the issue, and 1t was personal and
individual fight. In failing to depose
the speaker they have lost their bat
tie. II there is any consolation in
revising the rules committee, which
the house could have done at any
time and without fuss or furore, they
are welcome to 1t.
AS has been pointed out In these
columns many times, Speaker Can
non has stood ready on all proper
occasions to entertain motion to
vacate his office, and majority vote
of the house could have accomplished
1t. But the insurgents" never fslt
sure Of having that majority. They
set out in the beginning to "get
Cannon's scalp" and they would be
satisfied with nothing else. They
allied themselves with the Democrats
and sold themselves and their party
| in the hope Of thus strengthening
their position. For months they have
labored with their fellows and plead
ed for help. They have made war
upon Cannon in Washington, In the
''insurgent" newspapers, in the yell
low magazines and on the platform
from one end of the country to the
other. The final battle came rather
Unexpectedly. The resolution to de-
pose Speaker Cannon was presented
at the time when the insurgents had
what they claimed was their maxi
mum strength. In the final vote
upon Cannon only nine insurgents
voted with their Democratic allies.
OF these zine only one man from
Kansas voted against the speaker
This was Murdoch, who staked all
upon his fight against Cannon and
lost ingloriously. The rules regulat
ing the action Of congress were mol
of Cannon's making. They were
made by congress itself. Thus theil
modification and his vindicaticn on
the same day leaves the insurgents
beaten and discredited. Kansas City

INSrRGl,XTs CHANGE FRON 9,

INSURGENTS CHANGE FROM.
Consistency. absuredly, is not one
Of the jewels IN the collection Of
gems Of which the congressional
Insurgents are possessed It will
be remembered that along las sum
mer they were berating President
Taft right and left because he did
not assume a more dictatorlal atti-
ture in the matter Of the revision Of
the tariff. They expressed the opin-
ion that the president should have
jumped into the tariff fight at the
very beginning Of 1t and told congress
Just what it was to do. They have
declared, since the Payne bill be-
came law, that much of its lack
of efficiency, as they look at It, is
due to the negligence Of President
Taft to take a hand in the shaping Of
the statute.
But now there has been a change
of front on their part in the matter
Of how far It It is politics for a presi-
dent to go in suggesting the form Of
Legislation. Much of the opposition
which is being delivered by the I'm
surgents" in the senate at the bill
seeking to amend the interstate COM
merce law SO that 1t will become an
effective weapon for the needed regu-
lation Of railroads, is that the mea-
sure has originated with the execu-
tive branch Of the government rath-
er than with congress. They eriti-
eize President Taft severely because
he has suggested the form which this
legislation shall take. And they
criticized him Just as severely and
more 50 because he did take an active
hand in shaping the course Of the
tariff legislation. Surely they are q
difficult aggregation Of men to please.
