AND now the newspapers are busy
explaining" how Taft came to lose
California by such an overwhelming vote.
But explanations don't help. The star
ing fact, to which none could be blind
but those who would not see, is that
President Taft has no strength with his
party and can no more be nominated at
Chicago than you can, gentle reader.
Isn't this what we have been saying for
months in these modest columns, and
isn't this what has been said by Maine,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Illinois, Wis
consin and California?

ONE of the fine points" of the recent
presidential primary in this State is a
bill OF $4,000 for the taxpayers to
shoulder, as the cost of that primary.
And yet has it accomplished anything
more than could have been accomplished
equally as well by the old convention
system? This primary fad" will have
it's day like the mad-dog season, and
then the people will probably repudiate
1t in disgust. But it takes time for even
ftful feyers to abate,

WE again say that we can see nothing
edifyng or educational in the President
and the ex-President of the United
States chasing each other around the
country in a bitter personal contro-
versy, to catch votes. If this is one of
the fine fruits of the preferential pri
mary, we hope our deliverance therefrom
may come speedily. 1t is not calculated
to increase, or even preserve, the peo-
pies respect for the high office of Chief
Magistrate.

THE Baltimore American says "all
wise Republicans are Taft Republicans.
Which is the Americans delicately po-
lite way of saying that all Republicans
who are not for Taft are just plain,
every day fools No wonder the Ameri
cans advocacy of Taft has hurt him,
more than it has helped him in this
State, where a Republican loves the
American like "nothn' a. tall"

THE Taft Republicans who are loudly
proclaiming that they VIII not support
Roosevelt, if he is nominated, are not
doing wisely. Suppose all Republicans,
opposed to Taft's nomination, should say
they would not support HIM. What
then? These declarations are uncalled
for and untimely.

Politicians Have Started Cam

Seek to Beat Standardized on
a Technically.

Notwithstanding the fact that he
won the senatorship by a majority of

started a campaign to rob Judge w.
H. Thompson of Garden City of his
victory. The latest is a Kansas City.
Mo-, journal story to the effect that
the judge is not eligible to the office
for the alleged reason that he
made the race while still district judge.
This canard is not considered serious
Iy by many attorneys. Judge Thomp-
son will resign his judgeship before the
legislature meets to elect him.
Woodrow Wilson, president-elect,
made the campaign while governor of
New Jersey, and he is still holding
down the governors Office. Stubbs
made the race for senator while still
governor. The canard about Thomp-
son not being eligible is all nonsense
Judge Thompson made the race for
senator in the primary and beat three

nation. He made the race against
Governor Stubs and carried the state
by more than 10000 votes. The
Democrats have a majority in the
legislature. Thompson has won the
verdict 1t is extremely unlikely that
ten men can be found in the legisla-
ture who will go on record as repud1at-
ing the Kansas senatorial primary
verdict. Public sentiment in the in
tereSt OF Ialr play ana ueCeHCS III pun
tics will insure Thompson's election by
the legislature without, a ripple of OPP
position.
If Thompson's enemies in the Dem
ocratic party try to take away that
which he has won, then will Hodges,
candidate for governor,
have troubles all his own in the party
when he comes to face the hard con-
tess fight Capper is sure to make for
governor. A Democratic quarrel now
will spell disaster on the day after
victory. The surest way to start it is
to juggle with that 10000 verdict OF

MILLER DENIES IT.
Former Congressman Says He's Not
Working for Hodges.

James NJ. Miller of Council Grove, form
er congressman from the Fourth district,
denies the statement of a Topeka morning
paper in which Miller is accused of aiding
and abettfng the Hodges interests in Nor
ris county. The charge against Miller was
based on his appearance before the Nor
ris county board when he advised them
against re-convening the board to again
canvass the returns in that county.
In statement given today to the State
Journal Miller declares that he appeared
before the board at the suggestion of the
county attorney of Morris county WHO
could not be in Council Grove at the time
the board met. The board then asked
Miller for an opinion in writing concern
ing the legality of a special session to re-
count the votes. Miller, on behalf of the
county attorney, advised the board not to
meet.
The statement published" says Miller,
was an absolute Misrepresentation which
was either wilful and malicious on the
part of the editor; or he has been imposed
upon by some one who has no regard for
truth
Miller then denies that he is in Hodges
employ or is in any way interested in the
result Of the gubernatorial controversy

AT THE PLAY.

Lyman H Howe is a royal enter
tainer. A packed house gave him a
warm welcome last evening at the
Grand. He shows to what perfection
motion pictures can be brought; the
growth and development of flowers
repeated by request, is still one of his
most interesting films. A rough sea
at St. Jean de Luz, taken at great
risk to the photographer, made one
almost feel the roar of the gale and
beat of the spray; one youngster in
the audience said he was afraid he'd
get wet
The first picture was of a chame-
leon, magnified 6S,400 times: the
queer little creature has a tongue
twice as long as his body and caught
flies at a great rate, much to the
amusement of the audience.
The announcement that Mr.. Howe
will return later in the season, with
an entirely new set of pictures was
greeted with a gratifying round of
applause. The pictures will be shown
again tonight.

MOHLER'S REPORT.
Shows That Irrigation Has Done Much
for Western Kansas Farmers.

Irrigation by pumping has done much
for the farmers in western Kansas, ac-
cording to report issued last night by J..
c. Mohler, assistant in the office OF r. d.
Coburn, secretary of agriculture. Mohler
has just returned from an eight days
visit to the short grass country and is
surprised at the remarkable developments
of the last few months.
There is an abundance of feed, the Il III
sown wheat, where up, looked fine, and
the farmers as a whole seem cheerful
and optimistic" says Mohler.
'One cannot adequately appreciate west
ern Kansas, its people and possibilities
without visit there.

pressed than in Sherman county. This

improvements on many farms would be

CONVOCATION here.
Northeastern Deanery Heard Eloquent
Discourse of Rev. Partridge.

The Northeastern Deanery of the
Diocese of Kansas closed its conVoca-
ton in Topeka. Friday. The meetings
of the convention were held in the
Church of the Good shepherd Nortn
Topeka. and the Rev. r. K. Pooley, OF
I,eavenworth, rural dean, and formerly
canon Of Grace Cathedral, presided.
At the Friday afternoon meeting,
discussion was held on papers read re-
gart1ing church loyalty, the relation of
the parish priest to the UNCONVENTIONAL
ministers. etc Bishop F. r. Millspaugh
spoke of the work of the board of mis-
sions, and Mrs. ]. G. McC1intock made
an address on behalf of the woman's
auxiliary.
The convocat ton opened with a serv-
ice of evening prayer. with address by
the Ri. Rev. Sidney Partridge, bishop
of the Diocese of Kansas City. The
bishop is one of the most eminent men
of the church in the west. He was
formerly a missionary bishop in Japan.
and prior to his service there he was
engaged in mission work in China The
subject of his address was: THE
Simplicity and Naturalness of the
Christian Religion the Pledges of Its
Divinity and Permanence.' and his text
was: This shall be a sign unto you,
that We shall find the babe wrapped in
swaddling clothes and lying In a
manger'' He reviewed the sacrament
and ceremonies of the church, pointing
out the simplicity of their origin. mo
initiation into mystical systems, not
learning nor money, nor heroic achieve
ment is required for entrance into the
Kingdom. When God gave a sign by
which men should enter. He chose His
best and freest gift to the world-clear,
cold water, which is the emblem of
the sacrament of baptism. In the high
er sacrament. the outward sign was the
everyday food of the poorest laborer of
His country and time, the barley loaf
and a flask of wine made from the
grapes that grew on the Syrian hill
sides The laying on of hands in con-
frmation is a ceremony taken from
the custom of family life since the
days of the Patriarchs in the common
act of a parent touching the head of
his child with a word of blessing.

Master sanctif1ed for all time the COM
mon speech of His day in the greeting. |

Oriental still expresses his good morn |

has become the church's benediction. !
The way is so open and so easy that
men have raised barriers of their own
for the exclusion of their fellowmen,
and others have returned to the
leprosy of the world, as Naaman, the

of violating the prohibitory law.
Capron appeared as a witness in be-

went into the office of the clerk of the
district court to claim his fees and
met County Attorney Ernest B. Simon.
