IS KANSAS TOO AMERICANA
Its Voters May Be Bit Strenuous, But
 They Can't Be Bluffed.

Whatever Kansas does, does not matter" exclaims the regulars. whose adherents were put to rout in the re- publican state convention. Uncle Joe" Cannon, who was sent to rally the reg ulars and stampede the insurgents. asks sententiously: If your aunt had happened to have been your uncle. what would have happened?" The fact remains that Kansas is insurgent. One might gather from the comment that Kansas is populated by aliens who have little understanding and no sympathy with American ideals, but it happens that of all the western states the Sunflower state is the most distinctly American. It has always been a commonwealth characterized by in tense zeal, strong opinions and plenty of courage to back them up. old Josh Billings used to say: ''I luv the rooster for the crow that is in him. and for the spurs that are on him to back up the crow"
 Thirty-four years after the adoption of the Missouri compromise which linn ited the extension of slavery, came the enactment of the Kansas Nebraska law which let down the bars. An immedi- ate effort was made to erect a slave state out of the territory of Kansas. New Englanders organized movement for colonizing abolitionists and making Kansas a free state.
 The men who went to save bleeding Kansas" were descendants of the hand full of men who fired the shot heard round the world" at Concord, shei their blood at Lexington, and who held a celebrated tea party in Boston har- bor No doubt they are a little strenu- ous in their opinions and in their acts. but they are not the sort who can be cowed by bluff or even by superior force If those who are scoffing at Kansas for holding independent polite al opinions will look up the records or the war, they will find that Kansas furnished more union soldiers than any other state in proportion to population. The men who are shouting Whats the matter with Kansas?" and ,remarking that Kansas does not matter" may find their answer in the highly inter esting history of the state.-Detroit News.

facts as those stated by Mir. Hern- don, and that the publication of the libel is admitted
 No evidence was offered for the defendant. Lengthy speeches were made by the counsel on both sides, covering in their range the history of the general government from it's organization. The charge was given the next morning. The jury retired and in a few minutes returned into court with the following verdict:
 We find that to charge a man with being a Federalist is libeious, and we assess the damages of the plaintiff at 5000, the amount sworn to by MT. Herndon and would have been by the other twenty nine wit nesses that were not examined, as was admitted by the counsel"

The few remarks of Senator Al drich the other day may be regarded as a liberal education to Senator
Arizona republican., 1910-08-13
Mr. Bryan in Texas.

Two things in the Texas state con- vention denote the waning influence of MT. Bryan in the Lone Star state. his second greatest and his last stronghold. One of these things was the overwhelming ascendancy of the anti i-prohibitionists. and the other was the conventions overwhelming sup port of Senator Bailey's doctrine that free raw material should be pro- tected.
 That contention of the senator has been especially assailed by MT. Bryan as being utterly opposed to demo- cratic principles. not only as laid down by himself, but as more or less tra- ditional.
 Senator Bailey is not the first dem ocrat and not even the. first southern democrat who has sought to secure the benefits of protection for his con- stituents, but he is, we believe, the first southern democrat who has so boldly defended protection on prin- ciple.
 Texas democrats are like other democrats, and republicans as well, when it comes to protection. It Is therefore not surprising that Senator Baileys protection notions should have

CALLED HIM 4 FEDERACiST.

This is the story of an old libel suit in Franklin county, Indiana, in which defendant was accused of calling plaintiff a damned old fed eralist" The witnesses for the pros ecution, thirty of them. were sworn all at one time.
 We will examine MT. Herndon first" said Gen. James Noble, lead ing counsel for the plaintiff.
 MT Herndon, do you consider it libelous and slanderous to call a man a Federalism" asked General Noble.
 T do," the old man answered.
 Which would you rather a man would call you, a Federalist or a horsethief?"
 one or the other"
 You have not answered the ques- tion.' said General Noble.
 Well" replied Herndon, T would rather be, called anything under the heavens than a Federalist."
 What damage would you say the defendant should be made to pay for this libel in calling the plaintiff a  Federalism"
 T would say thousand dollars at least"
 Judge John H. Test. attorney for the defendant. then took the wit ness.
 MT. Herndon." he asked. what do you understand by a Federalism"
 My understanding is that it means a Tory. an enemy to his country" the witness replied.
 General Noble again took the wit ness and asked him one more ques- tion.
 MT. Herndon would you feel safe with a Federalist by your side to meet the Indians in a bush fight 2"
 T would not. would just as lief have one of the hostile Indians with his rifle and. tomahawk by my side"
 There was a brief conference be- tween the opposing attorneys, then General Noble arose and said:
 May it please the court. we have twenty other witnesses that we are ready to examine, but to save time it is agreed by counsel that they will each swear to the same

received support, but it is rather sur prising, in view of previous pro- hibition strength in Texas, that MT. Bryan's latest paramount issue should have failed to secure expected sup port. Here was fine opportunity for the Texans to compromise; to honor their idol of the state and the late idol of national democracy.
 The convention plainly answered the pre-convention inquiry. Has MT Bryan's hold .on Texas been weak ened?
Arizona republican., 1910-08-13

Oklahoma finds that the investigation of Senator Cores charges has re- suited, at any rate, in calling atten- tion to the governments mismanage- ment of Indian affairs. It has also called the attention of the country to the surprising number of liars in Oklahoma
