That is if a representative in
Congress advocates the senti-

position to the wishes of a few
self appointed leaders, who by
use of such brides as federal pat
ronage, voting for special bills,
or other Legislation needed by diff

to Join IN the plumber or worse,

coerced by depriving them OF
their choice of appointive officers
who may serve them. We do
not believe that President Taft
has decided to make any such
fool break. He and the Cannon
Aldrich leaders it may be would
like to make such a showing of
power and if possiblc coerce the
few who dare to represent the
men who elect them.
But such methods. always

feel it when it striks. There
is no Official salve to heal their
wounded sense of independence,
and they will strike back when

fully delivered will anihilate.

tor postmaster could save Ches-
ter 1. Long and his kind.
In the appointment of local
federal officers the people have
direct interest in who shall
serve them and they are making
their choice known, at least in
Kansas and the seventh district.
We have known Congressman
E. H. Madison since his first adj
mission to the bar and all his Of
fetal life. 1t is our opinion that
he will heed the choice of the
people as exhibited to him and
only recommend such men as
the voters, not the local politi-
clans recommend to him, and let
the responsibility for following
or not following the recommend
alton rest with Me officials max
ing the appointment. The peo-
pie will not longer stand to be
ruled and robbed by a lot of
grafters who owe their position
and opportunities for graft to
the present system of making
appointments solely on service
to the political leaders, without
reference to ability or desire to
serve the people who pay the
bulls. They are demanding that
honest, competent men shall be
placed in appointive Offices, who
will serve the public rather than
the men who prey on the public.
The cure for the present system
lies in electing men on their
known ability and honesty, not
in voting solely by the party tag.
The Democrats are as greedy to
get to the crib as any one and as
certain so far as their political
organization is concerned to
make reform the excuse to place
their henchmen at the trough.
The only way to learn the men
who play politics as profession
any thing is to down any one of
any party, who betrays the pub
lie trust which he receives With
his official commission.

The Andree Polar Expedition
Heard From.

William Irvine, party in the
employment Of the Hudson Bay
Fur Company lately returned
from the far north to Alberta,
reports hearing from. the natives
a story which he believes disclos-
as the fate of the Andree balloon
expedition to the north pole.
The Eskimos tell of a ship
which came down from the air
near the northern shore line or
on the sea ice. When the ship
from the sky landed three men
dropped out and approached the
Eskimos, who were frightened
and made signs warning them
not to approach. One of the
white men fired a gun which
precipitated a fight in which
several natives we're killed as
well as the three white men.
The party have proof cloth,
many fathoms of line, iron and
and other remnants which would
be expected to be obtained from
the wreck of a balloon such as
Andree used. They also have
brass and brass implements as
we'll as brass instruments. They
said that they were afraid for
some time to approach the air
ship but finally their necessities
overcame their fears and they
appropriated the wreckage to
their own use. Mr.. Irvine hopes
to recover on another trip north
in prosecution of his business
the records of the Andree ex-
petition, which if they are re-
covered may show that Andree
and no Peary was the first man
at the north pole.

MOVING PICTURES.

Last nights business at all OF Man
ager FlOrence's moving picture theatres
was the best during the present sea-
son, and the enthusiasm displayed
would indicate that the programs at
present running are the sort that mo-
ton picture lovers like. Some of the
best subjects which have ever been
shown in motion picture work are in
cluded in the bills this week. At the
Luna, The TenderfOot's Triumph by
the Biograph company, appeared TO be
the most popular production. The
Way of the World" the neadliner at
the Isis, is a most creditable produc-
ton, and the sincere appreciation of
the large audiences yesterday was
plainly evidenced. At the Elite,
''Frankenstein' is the feature attrac-
ton. The film is a mysterious concep-
ton of life and death. and the scene
in the laboratory where the monster
seemed to gradually assume human
semDlGnce is probably the most re-
markahle ever committed to film. The
supporting numbers on all programs
Throughout are above the ordinary, sew
eral of the subjects being distinct fea
lures in themselves.
