A Woman's National Party.

In most of the states where women
have been given the ballot they have
dropped naturally into the ranks OF
the existing political parties. But
Kansas women wish to be different.
They want a party for women only,
seperate and distinct from those set
up by the men, and they have initial
ed a movement to form such fem
mist political body, with its own
rules and tenets and ambitions.
1t is quite easy to see what this
might mean if the other states join
cd in the plan. AS these, one by one
came under the equal suffrage wire,
the "womans party" would be grad
ually swelled unit it became men
ace TO the man-power OF the coun-
try. In a spirit OF self protection,
men would wipe out their own party
lines to make common cause against
the new and ''un' common peril.
Such a spectacular condition OF af-
fairs is too ridiculous 10 contemplate
except in the nature OF a huge joke.
Who would write the platform for
a specialized "woman's party''?What
would be it's planks and prineiplesi
Would its constitution include angel
cake recipes with conflicting amend
ments; and would its bylaws set up
bridge whist rules and discriminating
directions on how TO dance the tango
The question might be asked: "W'ha
is the matter with Kansas women?'
And verify the answer would be that
they have lost not only their political
bearings but, far worse than that, ths
have lost their senoe Of humor.

kcts would have compensated our
producers, and, perhaps, more than
compensated, for tho loss of part OF
their home market.
MIR. Wilson should realize that the
word producers does not mean on y
the big business men who conduct
manmactIrtis, but the workingmen,
who are the partners in this pro-
ductiCn. and the farmers, who are
: the most important producers of al.
: However desirable 1t might have
been to benefit the consumers. IT
was certainly as desirable, or even
more desirable to benefit the pro-
ducers in this country. The greatness
of this country and the wealth of
this country are due, not to what we
consume, but to what we produce.
The increase in the creation OF
wealth depends in great measure up
on proper announcement to proddc-
ton, and the distribution of wea tn
in good process to farmers and good
wages to workingmen is obviously
dependent in the first instance upon
the creation of wealth through prof
table production.
Profits on production depend large
~ on the extent and excellence of
available markets, and any sort of
ordinary business intelligence or po-
itical intelligence ought to have OBJ
served the wisdom OF increasing and
improving the markets for American
products.
In fact, the only kind of mind that
c0um not see the practical and SEN
timental, the material and human adj
vantage of such a policy would be
that type which believes itself TO
be the medium for the direct trans
mission of Divine instructions.
1t is certainly not compatatible
with any moral obligations 70 consid-
er the material welfare of a country
and the financial prosperity OF the
individual citizens.
The material prosperity OF the peo-
pie is a matterworthy OF attention
and consideration of any Admins
tration, but particularly of a Demo-
cratic Administration. and MIR. WE
sons policies, no matter how inspir-
ed he may believe them, should be
executed with due regard for the well
fare of the nation and of the citizens.
Indeed, it would be well If Mr.. Will
son could realize that no one man
is doing Gods work on earth, but
that al men are doing 1t, in the
place and with the power that God
has allotted them, that the moral and
material interests of all are rightful-
ly to be considered and conserved.

THE PROPOSED AMALGAMk.
TON.

Last week the Republican Ma
tional Committee met in Washing
ton City for the pur.ose OF LAYING
plans which would result in re
unicn OF the eements in the Repub
lean party, which had been separ
atod by the 1912 Chicago convention.
1t was heralded far and wide that
a convCntion was IL be called tc
meet in 1914 at which the party
would take stand upon many
new matters which are now before
the country, in addition to regu-
latins the representation at future
conventions and taking out of the
haids of the National Committee
the power to thwart the people in
their choice of presidential candi-
dates. After considerable discussion
pro and con, and a two days session
the committee voted down the con-
vention proposition, and put forth a
ptan to reduce the Southern repre-
sentation and TO recognize presidcr-
tial primaries in states where pri-
maries have been provided for
presidential nominations and to suf-
fer the choice for these delegates to
be paced upon the Temporary roll
OF the convention, without Interior
euce IRON the National Committee.
While this is material modifi-
cation of the iron clad rules of the
committee i'm the interest of the rank
and file OF the party, it remains to
be seen whether or not this arrange
ment will be sufficient to bring about
a union of the Progressives and Re
publicans. The scheme has been de-
nounced by such leaders as George
w. Perkins, Senator Beverage and
others as a well thousht out plan
to induce persons who have been re-
E:ai., ng out of Tho Ill: party to re-
"En tc the fo.d with Artificial bait.
1t is believed that the getting to-
gether of, the two elements will de-
pend largely upon the success or
failure of the Wilson aiir.n jtration.
If the country suffers in Consequence
of the new Tavlf law, te currency
le SislatiCI Cit or both, the rank
aud ii will get together, no matter
what the leaders do or say. In 9TH
er words hunger and hard times will
do more to bring about the amalea-
nation of the Progressives and Re-
publioans than all the committee
meetings or eloquent speeches could
do in many months. If upon the 9TH
err hand, the Wilson administration
should be success matters are like
ly to drag along between the Pro-
sressives and Republicans, under sep
crate shelters, for several years,
but eventuallhy there will be only two
great parties in this country, The
and the radical.

but one ooud upon our horizon" and
describes that cloud as our trouble
with Mexico. Mr.. Wilson evidently
is not an expert in political meter
orology.
There Is, perhaps, only one CLOUD
On the distant horizon, but there are
several very threatening clouds hang
ing Immediately overhead, and cast
ing a very hevay shadow upon the
business interests OF this country and
upon the general prosperity of the
producing classes. This heavy shad-
ow, with prospect even of SER
ious storm, is due to the Presidents
exceedingly obstinate attitude in re-
gard to the notifications of the Tar
iff
The President is one of those men
to whom success gives halucinations.
He is convinced that he ~ the d.
rect representative of the Almighty
on earth, and that, being in more
immediate contact with mundane nj
fairs, his knowledge of them is,
perhaps, little superior to that of
the Almighty.
This conviction is not uncommon
among men whose sudden rise to
power is as incomprehensiblc to them
as it is to the rest ofthe community.
Not only politicians have this OBJ
session, but business men also who
attain unusual success or important
position too rapidly.
A conspicuous example of this
haE.ucination was given by George
f. Baer, of the Reading Railroad,
with his avowed inspiration and his
arrogant action by Divine right
Vanities of this kind would be
harmless enough if they did not so
often lead men to become inacces-
sible to facts and impervious to rea-
son and if they did not so often per-
suade men that their own falible
opinions were direct inspirations
from on high, not to be modified
by the opinions OF 9TH
er men or the actual conditions whic
them.
The Clouds which now hang men,
lcingly overhead and threaten the
prosperity of the nation could have
