MAJOR BUTTS WILL
The Presidents Aide Wanted to Be
Buried at Arlington.

Washington, May s.-The will of
Major Archibald w Butt filed here
Tuesday disclosed the fact that one great
wish of the presidents aid is impossi-
BILE of realization. 1t was that he
should be buried in Arlington National
cemetery and thai the family name
might be perpetuated there by a
modest monument over his grave.
In his will the young army officer
had set aside $500 for this purpose.
Major Butt left his personal effects to
his two brothers and provided that the
residue of his estate be converted into
cash and divided between the eldest
children of the two brothers. In view
of the disclosures in the will there is
a strong likelihood that a movement
will be started here looking to a me-
mortal to Major Butt at Arlington al
though his last resting place was in
the trackless ocean.

the people and for thu people, Is for
government by political bosses and Tor
the corporations; for this is a hand 70
hand battle and there is no -mlodte
ground for political towards to occupy.
1.-THE essence of the progressive
movement in the Republican party is IN
the proposition-Shall the people, or the
corporate creatures of the people, repre-
scented by political bosses, own and
control a nation with ninety millions of
free men?
so far as the people of this state are
concerned we must say for them here
today, that Kansas stands for the pr1n-
ciple that the men and women who
produce the wealth of this country are
not only entitled to, but must nave
their share of it.
mo army can ever win a great battle
without a fighting general.
No man can ever successfully con-
duct a political reform without the
trust and confidence of the people.
No just cause will ever fail If it has
q firm man to lead it.
Likens T. r.. to Washington.
IF there was no Washington to in
spire the faith and direct the valor of
the revolutionary patriots, this nation
might have remained a British colony.
Many people believe that the Union
would have gone to pieces without the
guiding hand of one who trusted the
people-Abraham Lincoln.
The great leader whose triumphant
banners have come here today from
nearly one hundred counties in Kansas
not only stands for these principles but
insists that now and henceforth the po-
litfcal power which our federal consti-
tuition declares to be inherent in the
people, must be exerc' sed by them Is
directly as possible.
Under his masterful leadership,
leadership founded upon experience and
buttressed by the faith and confidence
of the masses, he will not yield an inch
until the deliberate voice of the Ameri-
can people becomes the supreme law of
mers, Penroses, Cranes and every other
type of political bosses have been BAN
ished from the public service.
L shall leave the committee on resO-
lutions to say more. All I desire to add
is that the nation trusts this leader as
no man has been trusted by the COM
mon people since the days of Abraham
Lincoln. There is a reason for-it
Born in luxury, brought up in an at
mosphere of CASTE educated among a
people obsessed with the notion that
those who have must govern those who
have not. he refused to tread the way
of the idle rich and proceeded to pull
his own weight in the world like every
other decent American citizen.
With his educational accomplish
ments and marvellous natural capacity
he could very easily occupy a soft place
among the ariStocracy of special priv
ileges, but instead, he drew away from
the pampered friends of his youth,
chose a strenuous life of public service
and became an active member of the
common people, the people who Justify
their existence by actually working for
the world and in the world that God
has placed them"
