THE INDIVIDUAL CONSCIENCE.

We are in receipt OF the following
letter, which reached us just as we
were Soing to press last wcck-toO
late for us to give an answer TO the
query or an expression OF al opinion:
"Editor Kcowce Courier: have
read your editorial on the attitude
OF The Courier towards the Progress
SiVc Party. think the people are
much more interested in the Qucs-
ton: Can a participant in the recent
primaries consistently vote for cleo
tors other than the Democratic? A
great many people do not care to
vote for Wilson because OF his free
trade ideas. 1t is impossible to see
how prices are 10 be made cheaper
to the buyer without being made
cheaper for the seller. This means
lower prices for farm products. lower
prices for manufactured goods, lower
wages and hard times.
I'VE do not wish to vote with a

laration is to make things cheaper.
Can we vote in this election for
either Taft or Roosevelt?

the Democratic party in South Caro-
lima is its failure to so hedge about
its rules and regulations as to make
the expression Of the primaries the
real expression Of the will Of the peo-
pie. That is the main stumbling
block, as we see it, and the thing
that has given the greatest promi-
hence TO the Progressive Party to-
day. The great question OF the tariff
has not entered materially into the
discussion, though it may we'll do so,
for it is the greatest problem for So
luton by the political parties and
our statesmen to-day. But we do
not think that any Democrat need

nee for President through fear Of tho

the State Democratic body. Never
| theless we feel that we have bound
ourselves to support the Democratic
electors just as we have bound our
selves to support those candidates
who now stand as the nominees of
the Democratic party in this State.
The rules that bind us to these can
didates were made by the State DEM
ocratic Executive Committee, and the
Presidential Electors are creatures
Of the same body. We prefer to ac-
cept the theory that in binding our
selves to the nominees of the party | n
the primary, we also bound ourselves
to the Electors chosen by the same
party leaders who made the rules
governing the primaries. We feel
bound to the Democratic party from
top to bottom, from center to circum-
ference, dealing with the matter by
the simple rule Of squaring our con-
science not only with the actual oath
taken. but with those things which
seem to be clearly implied as we'll.
We believe that every Democrat
should stand %squarely by the party
through and through unless. in cast
ing his ballot, he openly qualified his
action, stating that he pledged HIM
self only so far as the primary can
didatcs were concerned. We would
not Or II moment, however, take
it upon ourselves to attempt to die
tate to the conscience Of any man,
but We hope that our fellow-Demo-
Gratis can all sec rs clearly as we do
the consistency Of the course we
have adopted as ours.

ent conditions. The United States
have long since outgrown the policy,
and the mistake the Democratic par
ty has made is in not specifically re-
pudiating the free trade idea in such
unqualified terms as to leave doubt
in the mind Of any man an impossi-
hi!ity. AS regards this question we
quote from Mr.. Wilson's speeches
which he has been making over the
country this significant statements:
1--WE do not want to disturb the in
duSirN OF the country. The changes
which "" make in thc tariff should
be made only at such a rate and in
such a way as will least interfere
with the normal and healthful course
OF commerce and MANUFACTURES"

equally unQucstioned that the tariff

ccsSitics OF revenue, but as near that
point as the adequate protection Of
American industries and American
Labor will permit. The Republican

II has long since been recognized
mat the pledges OF that party are
lightly made and quite as lightly
broken. We have. we think, intin-
itcly more TO hope for from the Dem

"ithC' OF the other W partics-thc
Republican or the Progressive. We
can asSurcdly hope for relief from
tariff abuses as they now exist, with
out running to an extreme in the OBJ

party is victorious. We have moth

from present abuses in favor OF the

AS TO the question regarding those
VINO participated in the recent pri-
marics voting fog either Tart or
Roosevelt, it seems to us that the
question resolves itself into one that
must be answered by the individual
conscience. Here is the pledge hat
each Of Us took when we cast our
ballots in the primary:

The state organization of W. c. T.
U. workers have been a band of true
loyal sisters to US. Woman suffrage
is one of their departments of work
and realizing the value of the ballot
they have neglected other depart
ments in order to add this potent force
to that of womanIy influence.
In response to a call from the state
finance committee the unions of the
state have contributed S100.05 to the
campaign fund. It is hard to COM
pute all the self sacrifice this sum
implies. 1t has come in amounts rang
ing from one to five dollars, and al
ways the blessing and good will of
the givers have attended the gift.

THE COMING OF ANNA SHAW.

The coming Of Anna Shaw to Kansas
during the last ten days before the
election is the cap-sheaf in the 1912
campaign. Everywhere she has charm
ed her hearers by her forceful logic,
her clear womanly visions upon the
great subjects which call for correction
at the hands of woman and which can
only be corrected as woman has the
ballot. Thousands have had the privi-
lege of hearing her. Her trip through
the state has been a continuous ovation.
At Syracuse she was met by a party of
suffragists who welcomed her land Miss
Lucy Anthony who is with herr in the
name of the women of Kansas. A tele-
gram had notified the suffragists of
Dodge City of Miss Shaw's approach
and she was welcomed there by a large
concourse of citizens headed by the
cowboy band. At Hutchinson, Wichita,
independence and Emporia she had
packed audiences at each place. At To-
peka the auditorium was filled Mrs.
Stubs gave a delightful reception in
her honor and in the evening an escort
of a dozen cars gaily trimmed, filed
with suffragists, made brief tour of
Kansas avenue, preceded by a band.
Long will her visit be remembered and
if Kansas wins, part of the glory will
be due to this noble woman who has
such indomitable faith in the men of
Kansas.
In addition to Anna Shaw and Laura
Clay, let US not forget the noble, I'M
selfish work of Clara B. Colby, of
Oregon, Mrs. c. c. Holley and Hon.
Omar E. Garwood of Colorado, Dr. Julia
Riddle of Wisconsin, Mrs. Houser of
Nebraska, and last but not least, Jane
Adams and Rev. Olympia Brown Will
lis, of Wisconsin, who were our guests
of honor at our annual state conven-
ton last May. spending one week in

While Kansas men and women have
given literally of their means and of
themselves to the cause, yet justice
and gratitude demand a few words of
appreciation for those living outside
our state who have responded SO gen.
erously to our call for financial aid
and personal service. Among the lat
ter special mention should be made of
the efficient work in the office and in
the field of Mrs. Edwin A Knapp of
Parkville, Mo-, who has given unset
f1shly of her time and strength in this
campaign which she feels is nation
instead of statewide. Miss Mary
Graham Rice of Norwalk, Ohio, is still

unselfish and telling service. Prof. S.

paign, are giving service in these last
