in well told stories of the peoples
affected by the wedding of the At
lantic and Pacific oceans.
The book was written by Wills

AnrhuN cAPrEn AND
TnE PROGRESSIVE fAhrY

Leavenworth Times: A lot Of
democratic papers and tho few Bull
Moose papers In the state are max,
ing as much fuss over the QUESTION
OF whether Arthur capber was 4
Bull Mooser at the time OF the In
dependence meeting In 1912 as II Y
made any difference. Whether he
thought then to Join the Moose herd
or not Is immaterial now. AT the
time there was reason TO believe
that healthy third party would
be built up and that reforms de-
sired by such men as Capper would
be secured through that party. But
thinga have changed since then. Re-
Election has convinced the great ma
jority OF the men who voted for
Roosevelt in 1912 that they can Sc
cure all desirable changes in our
laws through the Republican party
and that there is no need Of third
party. AS a consequence they have
settled back into the Republican
party and expect to carry It to vic
tory again.
But, while It doesn't matter and
won't influence a vote of a man or
woman who has any mind worth
calling mind still, as we have
said, the contest is amusing. BIZ
White took it SO much In earnest
that he sent long telegram to the
Kansas City Star giving his recol-
lections az the Independence meet
ling and how he was convinced at
that time that Capper had ieir the
Republican party and was one OF
them. And now Capper comes back
with an editorial which White wrote
more than a year after that Inde-
pendence meeting which indicates
very clerly that white knew that
| oapper mad not left the Republican
party and which was defending Cap
per for not burning the bridges be-
hind him and going over with his
paper to the Moosers. In the course
of the editorial White said;
s"The Gazette would be glad to
see him (Capper) declare himself
Progressive and go where he
1 would haye the united support OF
an undivided party which believes
what he believes. and who is can
ldidate who could uneQuivocally In

unfaltering declaration. But thu
Gazette also realizes that immens'
pull of the mere party name on en-
tirely honest people, who are earn
