MIR. BONES REINFORCEMENT.

Presumably the anti-Taft sentiment
in Kansas in certain quarters has gain
ed little strength since the an
nouncement came from Washington
that Mr.. Harry Bone has received a
reappointment to the United States
district attorneyship for this territory
from the hands of the president But,
as matter of fact, President Taft has
again shown his eminent sense of do
ing the right thing by keeping Mr..
Bone in the position he has filled so
acceptably during the past four years.
The fight made against the reap
pointment of Mr.. Bone by Senator
Bristow, William Allen White, Cover
nor Stubs and others was purely
fractional one and was not based on
the slightest scintilla of merit. There
are few federal district attorneys in
the nation who have served their
country and their constituencies in
quite such an admirable fashion as
has Mr.. Bone. His success in the
prosecution of many important suits
has been such that the federal de-
partment of Justice has come to hold
him in the highest regard, and on
several occasions he has been selected
by it to act for the government I'm
several prominent cases that have de-
veloped and come to trial in juris-
dictions other than his own.
Where federal officeholders such as
Mr.. Bone have shown disposition to
do their full duty it has been custom
airy for them to receive a reappoint-
ment if their party remained in power
and if one had been denied Mr.. Bone
by President Taft for a no better
reason than that a faction of the Re-
pub1icans of Kansas had a particular
friend of their own whom they de-
sired to see on the job, there would
have been some ground for the peo-
pie of this state to say the nations
chief executive did not have the back
bone and stamina requisite for that
important office.
All of the many charges that were
trumped up against Mr.. Bones ef-
ficiency proved to be of that hot air
variety which float away into insight
ficancy at the breath of the smallest
current of fact. His reappointment is
deserved tribute to his fidelity and
capability as a public servant in
particularly onerous position, and is a
reinsurance of the fact that such
violations of the federal statutes as
occur in this vicinity will be promptly
handled with justice to all and favor
to none during the next four years.

The FILIPINO Bartender

In the olden days, the day of the Don.
every merchant in the islands was at
times his own money maker. If he was
short of cash to meet a pressing de-
mand. he simply sent his "chit'' Ian
American expresSion), called in Span
ish a vale, which was nothing more nor
less than penciled l. o. u, to his
neighbor for any sum from 1 peso up
into the thousands. However, much to
our discredit Americans as a rule SO
much abused the Chit system that
this crude form of currency is now
rarely accepted, excepting at bars and
restaurants. Referring to the barrooms,
one naturally recalls the American bar
tender as he is in the islands. There
he is very much an autocrat; and, like
the SpaniardS, he will not wet or soil
his jeweled hands. An unsavory call
ing here at home, it is a dignified one
in Manila. There the barkeep sits in
front of the bar bedecked usually in
spotless white from head to foot, with
a diamond or two of awkward size gilt
tering above his cravat. Most of his
time is spent hobnobbing with the GUS
toners. especially with the moneyed
ones. He takes a drink every time any
one else does, not forgetting to order a
round on the house periodically. He is
a sort of walking floor manager. a
jovial host, and an all-round good fell
low. Numerous Filipino boys. working
behind the bar and at the tables, do his
every command.-Monroe Woolley, in
the Bookkeeper.

HUGHES FOR TAFT

One of the most significant incl
dents of the Lincoln day celebration
of the New York Republican club, at
which President Taft delivered such
an effective answer to his unfair and
unreasonable critics, has not been
given much if any publicity in this
section of the country. 1t was the
speech delivered by Governor Hughes
of New York state in which he made
the declaration that the American
people, recognizing the ability and the
determination of President Taft to do
his full duty, should re-e1ect him to
another term in the White House.
And the. expression of this sentiment
was greeted with cheers.
In this western section of the coun-
try Governor Hughes is considered by
many to be second in popularity only
to Theodore Roosevelt. Indeed, right
here in Kansas Governor Hughes has
ever been held up, and particularly by
those politicians and papers who Ia
bel themselves square Dealers or
insurgents or ''progressives,' and
are really anti-Taft, as being the par
agon of all virtues in public life, and
quite rightly, too. Several Kansas
newspapers have devoted more space
to a laudation of Governor Hughes,
his methods, purposes and accom-
plishments than they have to any 9TH
er one man before the people. They
have had more nice things to say
about him than they have had to say
about all of their own idols at home
here put together. They have taken
everything that Governor Hughes has
said as gospel, and they have been
well-warranted in doing so.
Few men have crossed the public
horizon in many years in this country
who have conducted themselves in a
more distinguished and satisfying
manner than Governor Hughes. In
the administration of the affairs of a
state, where political corruption has
run riot for many years in both par
ties, Governor Hughes has fought
courageously for honesty and integ-
rity in all things. The peoples battles
for a proper control of corporations,
for adequate election and primary
laws. have been his and he has been
forced to struggle for the peoples
rights against tremendous opposition
from an undesirable but nonetheless
formidable element in his own par
| ty. No man has higher motives than
Charles Evans Hughes. No mans
patriotism is of moro sterling char
acter. Nor is there any Republican in
the land who is more really progress
sive.
| 1t cannot be conceived, therefore,
that Governor Hughes would make a
ringing declartion in favor of the re-
nomination and reelection of Presi-
dent Taft if he did not honestly be-
lieve that Mr.. Taft has served his
country with distinction and with in
tegrity. Do the Kansas newspapers,
which claim to be Republican in SYM
pathy. and which call the revised Gus
toms law the tariff bunco" and that
piece of party treachery'' and hold
Mr.. Taft responsible in the main for
that law. think that. Governor Hughes
would come out with the endorsement
of a man who had been guilty of per-
petrating that '.bunco'' and ''treach-
ery?" If they do they will have to re-
wise their estimates of Governor

Hooking to Holy Land.

Letters from Jerusalem say that the
proclamation of the constitution in
Turkey has thrown open the doors of
Palestine to the incoming of Hebrews
from all parts of the world. In Je-

Hebrew faith, while at Jaffa, Tiberias,
Safed and Haifa Hebrews are reck-
oned by tens of thousands.
Almost the whole extensive plain of
Esdraeloon has been bought up by
