New York World: 'If human his

SO little that this issue of personal
government must again be fought out
it might better be f2ught out now

be better prepared for it. The A

New York Sun: IF he should fail
to wrest from the President that whicl

square dealing, Col Roosevelt will
be one of the most ridiculous figures
upon which posterity can bestow its

in his enterprise, it will be at the
cost of much more than men of hon

New York Tribune: His cam
didacy, because of personal relations
formerly existing can hardly fail to
engender unusual political bitterness,
and create a breach among the repub

strength to win. No public exigency
drags him into the arena. There are
no principles whose service requires

MIR. OAPPER,s vICTORY.

| Notwithstanding the fact that he is
pledged to the support of a presiden-
| tial candidate of another party, Arthur
Capper was given the Republican
nomination for governor yesterday by
an overwhelming majority. Even the
meaSer returns that have been re-
ceived SO far indicate that the voting
for Mr.. Capper was most general all
over the state by those who took part
in the Republican primary. 1t is pref
ty conclusive evidence that Mr.. Cap
per's handsome victory is of a per-
sonal character, rather than political
one.
And this is perfectly natural. He
is one of the states best known and
most prominent citizens. He is a ma
tive son. He has been eminently sue
cessful in a wide variety of enterprises
connected with the publishing BUSH
ness. He and his works are known to
the four corners of the state and on all
the highways and byways leading to
them. 1t would have been unusual, in
deed, had such a man been denied by
his friends the first political honor he
sought, even though it happened to
be TIE highest one in their power to
give.
So close is the contest for the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nomination be-
tween George Hodges and Jules Bill
lard, that it is impossible to predict
with safety just now who will be Mr..
Capper's opponent in the battle that
is to come for the governors chair.
Whoever he may be, he will certainly
have to bestir himself to wrest the
laurel from the Topeka newspaper
man. Mr.. Capper has demonstrated
that he can put up a most effective
campaign, and that he has an unusual
ly large personal following in all parts
of the commonwealth.

A good many of us are praying for

who lifted up his hands to heaven
and cried: God, give me work."
was wasting his breath. If he had
wanted work, he could have found it.
But he wasn't so far wrong as the
other man who besought Providence
to vouchsafe him a life of ease.
There was a man once who was
capable of giving some expert testi-
mony upon this subject. He was
born rich, and therein he was unfor-
tunate. His mother insisted that he be
educated for an art for which he had
no talent, and that was more unfortu-
nate still. At 25 he was useless, dis
sipated and unhappy. At 26 he was
penniless, with a vain, extravagant and
ill-tempered mother to support. The
first thing that offered was a clerkship
in the office of an engineering firm.
1t was drudgery, but after a time there
was som ething in the face of the eager
workers around the broken reed that
caught his attention. After giving
thought. he concluded that the secret
must lie in their battered reference
books and queer draughting instru-
ment. So the ne'er-do-wel began to
study at night.
He was getting little start, but Mt
35 he was a full Pledged engineer, and
a good one. Also. he could handle
men a bit. So. when 1 found him
grading railroad beds, building
bridges, laying rails and driving tun-
neIs through stubborn mountains,
found a new man-one who was
bronzed and strong and masterful,
builder and leader.
AS we sat in the shade of his box
car home at the foot of the mountain,
he drew long at his pipe in silence. and
then said:
81 can't think of my useless years
without a shudder. They were
luxurious nightmare. Hard luck was
nv salvation. And, by heaven, the
only happiness is in work-to see the
Fruits of your toll take shape under
YOUR hand and know that they are

mittee, at which contests were heard
and decided should be public.
That course was followed. But what
happened the other day in Chicago
when the kand-picked national COM
mittee of the Bull Moose party took
up the contests involving the rights or
negroes to have a voice in that party.
Well part of the sessions of the Bull
Moose national committee were open
to the public. But frequently the COM
mittee cleared the room and went into
executive session for secret considera-
ton of the disquieting problems pre-
sented. And then the members of the
committee refused to arrive at de-
cision. They thought it would be bet
ter in the organization of a free and
untrammeled convention to get Mr..
Roosevelt's views on the questions in
volved.
Nothing that savors of "bossism'' has
prevailed in the creation of the new
party, and the organization and con-
duct of its first national convention.
No, indeed! Every detail of it has
been arranged and decided upon by a
leader who brooks no opposition,
whose word is the final law. 1t is,
therefore, apparent that Colonel
Roosevelt believes in letting the people
rule, only in accordance with the plans
and specifications which he prepares.

YOuR TOWN.


More towns die for want of conf

other cause. When a man in search
of a home or a business location goes
into town and finds everything brim
full of hope and enthusiasm of the
prospects of the place, and all earn
estly at work to build it up. he soon
becomes imbued with the same spirit,

ROOSEvErT HECTORS.

Although the judges and election
clerks all over the state are still at
work counting the ballots, and the re-
| turns of yesterdays primary are Tar
from being complete, it appears that
the Roosevelt electors have been sue
cessful by a good majority. This is
certainly convincing evidence that
majority of those who participated IN
the Republican primary are favorable
to the cause of the third-term enthusl-
asst. That's their political privilege
But in exercising it, they should have
Followed the Bull Moose into his own
particular party. as did their brethren
across the river in Missouri and IN
several other states. That might not
have left more than remnant OF
what once was the regular Republican
party in Kansas. But it would be far
better that it be destroyed entirely than
that it be perverted into hybrid by
most questionable piece of political
jugglery.
Unless the supreme court of the Onl-
ted States decides that the Roosevelt
electors are not entitled to place on
the regular Republican ballot next fall
and it is not at all likely that the
case, that is the place that these cleo
tors will occupy. And they will De an
a false position. Theodore Roosevelt
is not the presidential nominee OF the
Republican party. He has never claim
ed to be- He has just been nominated
for the presidency by a new party tnaC
has only been brought into being WITH
in the last few days at Chicago. He
has repeatedly said that it is his de-
sire to wage his fight for a third term
without any connection whatsoever
with any of the existing parties he
has nothing in common with either Oh
the old parties. He boasts OF this. All
of his utterances show emphatlcaHy
that he has taken such a stand.
That his friends in Kansas should
have a right to vote for him on cleo
ton day is undeniable. But they have
not the moral right to do 50 through
the medium of the Republican ticket. |
His friends in Kansas who had person |
al political axes of their own to grind
have made such a procedure possible
merely through a misuse of the pr1- |
mary of historic party, that still has
many thousands of followers in the
Sunfower state. Furthermore, the ap- |
pearance of the Roosevelt electors on |
the regular Republican ticket next fall |
will probably disfranchise these thou |
sands of regular Republicans in the |
state from voting for the presidential |
nominee of their party. And this is a /
sample of the square deaP' of which |
the Bull Moosers of this state are the I
prophets.
