FISHER AND BR1STOW.


 The press dispatches from Hutchinson Kan leave in doubt whether Secretary of the Interior Fisher referred to of Republican Insurgents 'heretica dema gogic progresslve or as hypocrtca demagogc prog ressives' Both version appear the text The difference mmaera Perhaps would have been better in view of the good feeling incident to the presidents visit the secretary had induged such characterization at all But let that pass.
 Everybody knows that country today has number socaed progressves of the kind Mr. Fisher had in mind
 progresves by word of mouh but not of consrucvely progressive progressves who he pontedy obser ved declare for progressive policy and then oppose measure put orh' in short progressives who only make Himself progressive and of high standing the until he entered the Taft cabinet the secretary utilized the pehapsto make clear to Kanans that the particular school of progressve to which he belonged the school that doing something to solve American problems not the school of propaganda and ouc He have meant by of illustration that he progressive who could see the light and receive and the truth the light and truth did not happen 10 be momentarly popular with the other and noser school He have been prompted to the thing he did by his discoveries in Alaska. Who knows?
 But the other participant in this Hutchinson episode Joseph Brstow junior United States Senator of the state of Kansas who quickly picked the imaginary gauntlet thrown down by Fisher.
 Did the characterization fit him, that he should instantly M Surely not He has opposed somewhat obstinate at mes certain governmental policies which, by fair and rational analysis could truly be called His point of view usually has not been the point of view He entered the senate in hostile unrendy attitude toward the administration and has leaned backward snce guratve Fly speaking to prove his independence
 But everybody recognizes Brisows sincerity and rugged honesty; his people recognize these qualities best of a then why should he take the characterization unto hsef Evidently he prefers be the teadast descpe of Laoette and follow the progressive byways that lead knows where rather than join Taft and Fisher in the progressive middle of the road that leads safety security and equitable adjustment.
 The Kansas senator's ejonder in words the verest claptrap and unworthy of him. Who in the broad land questioning Kansas right have her part and her sa Kansas has been senced and will be- She has been making the kekin ring since the days of Socess Simpson and will doing likewise until the end of time for all we know
 Kansas is exclusive exceptional in standing for whole country stands for that But Kansas past offers no on of that doctrine to be secured and secured only by the Kansas method Far from it-Seatte stIntelligencer
