The Atchison Globe says: "phis
paper is not particularly friendly to
many Taft ideas but 1t sees no reason
for believing that Atchison county
would reduce the customary Republic
can majority. Not one man in fif-
teen, met on the streets, makes q
business Of talking politics, and as
usual in all cases; 1t is the kicker
who talks when anybody talks. Pos
sibly Henry Allen guessed right, but
we really believe that 1t would be
safe bet to pick out five of the
seven wards in Atchison and at least
five country precincts which will pro-
duce the customary Republican ma
;ority right now or any other time"
So in Dickinson county-Taft would
carry 1t by as large a majority as in
1908.

A sIGNTFTCANT EDITORIAL.

| trf - hDAGANAA AO1A4N ANDA4OAOA<A1e
The Lawrence World, which Is one.
Of the leading organs OF Gov. Stubs,
has this significant editorial:
1.-THE World Is a strong supporter
Of the Stubs administration and Of
the reforms effected and attempted, ;.
and hopes to see him serve another
term as governor, but at the same
time 1t cannot help but condemn the.
foolish statements made by him and
his friends in regard to another cam
didate for the nomination.
what the Republican party needs.
in Kansas is not petty chickering's
and party strife, but strong polit--
ical organization able to carry
through the measures deemed best.
for the interests Of the common
wealth.
"A big political leader is not one
who splits his party, but the one
who is able to strengthen it. The
Republican party means much to
many of its adherents in Kansas.
There are men who have stood by
their guns in the dark days and have
fought the fight because they believ-
ed the party to be right and victory
finally was theirs. These men are
believers in Governor Stubs, or
whether followers Of the so-cailed
regular faction. They may be wrong
but they are entitled to respectful
consideration, and If Governor
Stubs receives the nomination he
will need the votes Of these same
men to be reelected.
Governor Stubs and his friends
may boldly shout that they welcome
opposition, and for the time their
thirst for action, may fool their
common sense. but in reality they
do not want opposition and they hope
to bluff 1t down rather than smooth
II 0OW4h
"If William Allen White and Gov
ernor Stubs are really in earnest
in regard to having an opposition
candidate at the primaries let them
state publicly and boldly that who,
ever is nominated for governor in
the Republican ticket viii receive
their hearty support at the polls.
Unless some such statement as
this is made, and an effort put forth
to heal wounds rather than to make
new ones, Hodges win. be the next
governor Of Kansas. The Stubs ID
ministration represents too many
needed reforms to see It 90 down to
defeat as result Of the Incorporate
enthusiasm Of his friends"

One Of the most leyel-headed pa
pers in Kansas is the Lawrence
Journal. 1t is for Stubs but says
Kansas is for Taft and It also says:
RAY stannard Baker came out here
in Kansas and did the insurgent
movement from the car window. It
recalls an Englishman who was trav-
cling in this country. AS he passed
through Kentucky the train stopped
for a short time at a small station.
The man had Just walked up and in
quired what the place was. When
informed that the state was Kentucky
he rushed to the car door and look
ing out saw two men fighting. He
calmly went back to his seat and
wrote in his diary, Kentucky is in
habited by very warlike popula.

The Democrats are certainly pick
ing good men for their state ticket.
Senator Hodges is one of the most
capable men in Kansas and has the
respect Of everyone who knows him.
He would make a good governor. A.
B. Reeves Of Dodge City, who is to be
named for lieutenant governor. is a
first-class, wideawake progressive
Kansas. 1t is SO rarely that the
Democrats nominate a really good
ticket that they deserve commenda-
ton in this instance.

Sensible remarks from the Con-

Sensible remarks from the Con-
cordia Kanean: There is one feature
OF the Inheritance Tax law that has
developed in the Kansan articles On
that subject that we cannot. and will
not endorse, and we, think the law
should be changed on that point, a.
least, at the first opportunity. We
refer to the feature that says tax
on that portion Of the estate which
falls to the widow, whether by in
herltance under the law, or by will.
The women Of Kansas have had as
much to do, in most cases more to
do, with acquiring the estates in the
names OF their husbands than the
husbands themselves. 1t Is in reality
and in fact as much theirs, before
the husband dies, as It is his. II is
net justice nor equity that they
should be called upon to pay an in
herltance tax on what is certainly
their own. The wives Of Kansans,
who have acquired an estate suffi-
Client to come under the law have
suffered enough in It's acquisition,
without being taxed to retain it when
their rightfuI share falls to them by
the death of the husband. The
property acquired represents sacri-
fices Of Iuxuries in the. years that
have gone. 1t represents deprivation
OF necessities in the years Of their
youth and their early life, and they
should be allowed the full enjoyment
Of the result Of their early toll and
frugality in the years when they
struggled along with the husbands
Of the state to make Kansas what
it is today, without molestatlon by
the taxgatherer when death takes
from their lives him who was a help
mate and head Of the family. The
next legislature ought to wipe that
feature out of the law.

SECOND CLASS CHAMPIONS
Plebes Are Defeated in Last Few Minutes
Of Final later class Game Al Acad.
emy Yesterday

Il was only inside the last few min
utes of the final contest that the in
ter-class championship of the Naval
Academy was settled on Worden Field
gridiron yesterday afternoon when the
team representing the class of 1912
snatched victory from the fourth
classmen on two plays where in luck
played large part.
Two touchdowns were scored quickly
and the score which for most of the
game had stood nothing to nothing,
was quickly changed to 12 to 0 in
favor of the upper cIassmen. The
two teams had battled right royalty
during three full quarters and the
greater portion of the fourth. while
the corhorts of each turned the side
lines into waving, tossing billows of
blue and gold and neither side had
been able 70 score.
Then in quick succession the Sec
ono classmen first blocked a plebe
punt and after taking full advantage
of this. recovered one of their own
kicks and tailed the necessary twelve
points. After recovering the blocked
kick inside the 5-yard line the second
classmen battered their way through
on four plays showed Curley over for
the initial score.
Dashell, who later scored the second
touchdown, kicked the goal, making
it to 0 and then within a few min
utes he got through on a quarterback
run and Tailed the other touchdown
and kicked the goal.
