week.
The Salina Journal gives the follow
ing account of the meeting held there
by Judge West and Robert Stone of
Topeka:
A good sized crowd attended the Re-
publican political meeting at Conven-
ton hall when Robert Stone of Tope-
ka, probable speaker of the next house,
and Judge ]. S. West, Republican nom
inee for justice of the supreme court,
spoke on the political issues of the
campaign. Judge w. F. Musser pre-
sided at the meeting.
Mr.. Stone said that the most start
ling feature of the campaign was the
way George Hodges has Topped from
one side to the other.
While in the legislature he voted
for nearly all the progressive legisla-
ton, and supported most of the things
that Governor Stubs wanted. Now he
comes out with the declaration that
these 'reformers,' as he calls them, are
demagogues, and that the progressive
movement will not last six months.
Was Hodges right when he voted for
these laws, or is he right now, when he
is denouncing the people who worked
with him to secure the passage of those
laws?

Honesty is always the best policy.
want to say that Mr. Hodges only
hope of being elected is that he may
disrupt the Republican party. He
wants to throw into the Republican
ranks a discord so that he will have
jority. He said at his Emporia meet
ing some time ago that the insurgent
movement in Kansas would not last
six months. Then he asks for standpat
he fair? Was he honest? Was he
sincere? It appears that he simply
wants to be governor of Kansas and
that he does not care what he says to
get there.

up in the senate it was defeated be-

have also pledged themselves to

principle that law is all right, but at
| least $4,000 or maybe $4,000 or
100000 should be exempt, instead of
$4,000. Hodges says the law isn't a
good one. He says his wife saves 50

the property belongs to his wife.
well, if that is true, why don't the
men recognize that half of their prop

HE NAMES NO NAMES.
But John Bhisben Walker Evidently
Has Roosevelt in Mind.

Kansas City, Oct. 19.-Without men
tioning the name of Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, but by his description of
the man making it obvious that it was
he of whom he was speaking, John
Brisben Walker. formerly editor of
the Cosmopolitan Magazine, in an adj
dress before the Knife and Fork club,
made sharp attack on the ex-presi-
dent.
Mr.. Walker pointed out that re-
public was just as enlightened as its
average citizen. Such a citizen, he
said, failing to read and keep himself
informed upon public questions, might
easily be induced to follow the lead of
a popular idol. Thus, said Mr.. Walker,
the idol might become dictator in
fact if not in name.
"Of course" said the speaker, at
would not be an ordinary man who
could do this 1t would require some
supreme demagOgue some Quintes-
cence of fake, some embodied manifes-
tation of an egotiSm able to reach
the prejudices and passions of the null
titude, some one equipped with an 'un-
blushing affrontry capable of putting
into the Ananias club every man or
woman who could analyZe his at
tempted receptions; some practical
politician who has learned the art of
being all things to all men; who can
be an enthusiastic progressive in Kan
sas and Iowa and write an endorse
ment of the Aldr1ch tarff IN New
York platform
Further on in his address Mr..
Walker spoke of the so-called mythical
person of whom he was speaking zap
pealing to the followers of the prize
ring by press agent stories of his Prov
ess with the gloves and to the Meth
odists by his declarations of following
the gentle teachings of Jesus Christ
Who said Mr.. Walker. would be
a political juggler of such expertness
that he could turn an accidental hap
penning into more kinds of personal
capital than Hermann can take rab-
bits out of a hat
In closing, after saying that, of
course none, unless it be some one
possessed with INSIDE information
not in the possession of the multitude,
would suspect the existence of such
a man as described, Mr.. Walker said:
But If such a one should spring
up, cold blooded. INSCRIPTIONS, With
out beliefs and without policies. mas
ter in all kinds of deceit-with power
to capture the imagination of the un-
thinking multitude-who would be a
threat to the great special interests.

and stood ready to combine with him

dent sat with immigration Commission
er William Williams in a number of
appealed case. Mr.. Taft proved a leni-
ent judge and it was indeed a happy
fate which brought nearly a score of
rejected immigrants to the bar for final
decision on the day of the presidents
visit. There were Slavs, Poles, Greeks
and Italians, but the most interesting
case of all was that of George Thorn
ton, a Welsh miner, and his family of
seven children, ranging in age from 2
to 10 years. The mother died last Aug
ust and Thornton decided to come to
America and seek a new start in life.
The president asked him what funds
he had. Thornton replied:
zone hundred and sixty-f1ve dollars
and two hands,"
The president personally directed that
the family be admitted and he declared
that if he was at all a judge of human
nature the seven children would grow
into the best type of citizens.
The miner bought tickets for himself
and family to Pittsburg and departed
happy.
Some aliens suffering from fatfoot
were fortunate in being brought before
the president. He declared that while
f1atfoot interfered with number of oc-
equations, it was possible for persons
so afflicted to follow many useful trades.
The f1atfooted immigrants went joyous
ly on their way.
AS a result of his studies and obser-
vations yesterday, Mr.. Taft had reach
ed a pretty definite conclusion on three
points:
First-He believes that strong ef-
fort should be made to distribute the
influx of foreigners and do away with
the present congestion in New York.
second-He believes that heavier
penalties should be exacted of the
steamship companies for attractions OF
| the immigration rules.
Third-He believes that all male i'm
migrants upon their arrival here should
be put through a thorough examination
as to the condition of families left be-
| hind in Europe. One of the most diff
ficult human problems of the immigra-
| ton service has been the separation OF
| families, but the president believes that
the problem can be solved by requiring
| immigrants to tell in advance whether
or not families left behind are eligible
! for admission under the immigration
laws.
