WHY He Is For Stubs.

One of the clevereSt bits of pOlit-
zeal buncOmbe one could wish for
appeared in a recent issue of the
Kansas City Star, supposed to
have been written by a Kansas
Democrat, giving certain reasons
why he is for Stubs. The writer
reciteS how hard and ardently he
had been fighting the battles Of
Democracy, for 10 these many
years. How he is still a Demo-
crat, but that he believes it is
now a fight between right and
wrong, in trying to defeat Gov,
Stubs. The entire article smacks
SC strongly of a Stubs Republi-
can letter, that many may not see
the point, which is that it is in
tended to stir up dscOrd within
the ranks of the Democracy.
A fight between right and the
wrong, it to a certainty is, but
the fight is not an old one. 1t is
one that has been hanging fire for
many years, and the party that
this erStwhile Kansas Democrat
now expects to cast his vote with
Is the one that has kept the fight
up on the wrong side of the polit-
zeal fence. If the writer of that
letter believed in the Democratic
platforms for which he stood in
the past he cannot help but be-
lieve in them now. If they were
right then, why are they not right
now, as long as even the Repub-
llcanS, who have for years OppOs-
ed them, have finally come to the
conclusion that they are right. If
those principles are right, he is
doing an injustice to those who
have kept the "faith" in Kansas
to vote against them. That those
who are disgruntled in their own
party, will vote for the other tick
ct, is not a weakness of that 9th
er ticket. If the things that the
standpatters charged against the
Stubs administration are half
true, how can those who fought
Stubs in that campaign vote for
him., Does that belittle Hodges,
the Democratic candidate who has
manfully stood by the guns fight
ing for those principles which the
Republican party has fought in
the last twenty years? We should

ROYAL BREEDING SALES
Chance of Year to Get Exactly
What Will Be Most

The best chance of the year to
get cattle for breeding or feed
ing is at the American Royal Live
Stock Show, Kansas City, OctO-
Der 1915. The purpose of this
show is to disclose the animals
which represent the highest pro-
greSs in breeding, since the lead
ing breeders are represented. and
the contests involve comparisons
Of such leading herds. 1t is i'm
pOrtant to every breeder, there
fore, to find out, at the Royal,
just what the ideal characteristics
Of beef cattle are-and it is equal.
ly important that he discover Just
where he can get such animals to
use in breeding.
The sales of breeding cattle at
the American Royal have been az
preclated. Breeders know that
the animals offered are carefully
selected, since it is a matter of
principle as well as of pride. for
the association to arrange for
the inspection and selection of the
offerings. The secretaries of the
Hereford, ShOrthOrn, Galloway,
and Aberdeen-Angus associations
report that the committees have
already inspected the animals Of
fered for the sale, and that the
best lot Royal visitors ever had a
chance to bid on will be seen.
About fifty animals will be Of
fered by the breeders of each
breed. Many Of the bulls are fit
to head the good herds of the

well be started, and all are ex-

PARTY CLEAVAGE.

Conditions in the Republican party
at the present time are quite similar
to the inter-party contests which
wrecked the Democratic party during
Cleyeland'e last term.
In 1896 Cleveland and Hill, and
Palmer and Buckner and other prom
inent men who called themselves
conservative or national Democrats,
were as much in, favor of the control
Of government by property and priv
LEGGED interests as the Aldrichs
and Cannons Of the republican party
now are. 4
In Cieveland's time as well as now
there were those who contended that
the troubles Of the party in power
were all due to economic restlessness
when in fact the real trouble was
moral rather than economic, and that
is what the old political bosses seem
unable to understand.
1t is not morally right for the gov
eminent to enact Jaws which enable
the few to deprive the many OF the
fruits OF their labor. The congress
now in session outraged the moral
sense Of the nation by increasing the
tariff tax on woolens, stockings and
gloves to enable the tariff barons tc
still further swell their already swoll
en- fortunes, and to further increase
the burdens Of the producing masses.
Mr.. Baker in an article. in the
( February American truly says:
The Insurgents, or Progressiyes
led by La Toilette, Bristow and Cum
qins, and others among the Republi
cans, and Bryan, Champ Clark and
others among the Democrats, thalgf
they may vary in opinion as to how
much the tariff should be reduced, o.
how far government control of corpo
rations should go, or whether states
or the nation should be chief regula
tor. they all stand firmly together up
ON the platform that the power o
property in governmental affairs mus
be limited, that the people mus
rule.
