Tor cursiA Here the Odds are IN IA
vor Of Curtis Bristow has been re-
earded as only nominaily Republican
and his return to the fold has been re-
eeived coolly. He. has no chance as
against Curtis to obtain the standpat
vote. On the contrary. he is regarded
by the Progressives as traitor. Will
lam Allen White, national committee
man of the Progressive party and high
priest Of Progressive policies in Kan
sas. denounces him in these words: :
"Bristow is guilty of q political felony"
Curtis, then, probably win be the Re-
publican candidate in the election. The
Progressives, on their part. have agreed
to place their hopes for success in Vic
tor Murdoch. now Representative from
the Eighth Kansas district.
Murdoch is typical Kansan He
represents the spirit of the State. Kan
sas has stood in our national life as a
protest against special privilege and
men like ex-senator Long and ex-Sen-
ator Curtis, however desirable they
might have been as representatives of
certain Eastern communities, are un-
questionably out of place when repre-
senting Kansas On the contrary,
whether it was in fighting Cannonism
under the Republican or caucus rule
under the Democrats Murdoch has
stood for the Kansas spirit of protest.
1t is not our purpose to say whether or
not he has been right or wrong; but
it does seem to us beyond dispute that
he is typicalH Kansan. He has not
hesitated to smash the gods of the
past no matter how sacred they may
seem to the "heathen." He doesn't un-
derstand the language of compromise
and harmony movements which barter
with, standpatters are to him what mar
rage with Canaanites were to the chill
dren Of Israel.
Murdock's hatred of machine politics
amounts to a passion. He has fought
every act or suggestion that tended
to control or limit individual legislators
and to give thereby small group of
men power which might be used against
the public good. He is against ma
chine control even in the guise of q
humanitarian and friend of the people.
1t is the machine he hates, not what
the<machine may do. If Kansas wants
a typical representations who will
ever be ready to throw a monkey
wrench into the machinery-she had
better consider the claims of Murdoch
with care. Her history and the spirit
Of her people call for such a man.

nothing but q bag of bones, as his wife
once said-smoked the blacklist and the
strongest cigars that ever saw. / would
not care to tackle one of them.
Roscoe Conkling was constant dry
smoker. but he never lighted Q cigar. He
would cut one in two in the middle and
then chew first one-half and then the
other, holding the parted ends between
his teeth. He once told me that he did
that because he thought 1t helped his
digestion.
But the queerest habit associated with
smoking that I ever heard Of was one
which characterized Caleb Cushing. 1t
was told by one OF Gen. Cushing's friends
that. Il was the great statesman's> habit
to smoke cigar q little more than half
way up and then. after letting II so out.
he would put 1t In q little cloth bag. In
that way he accumulated butt after butt.
and would carry them around In this bag
in the inner pocket Of his coat. When
he wanted to smoke he would draw forth
one OF these butts and light II and after
smoking II for a while he would let II 20
out and return 1t to the bag.

Former Senator Cullom's Death.

Death. reckoning Shelby Moore Gull
Ion from out of the dream of hfe's
6tfu1 fever, was more kind to both the
man he summoned and to the friends
uncalled than is the Reaper's usual
haste to have done here, and away
there, where another sojourner's meas
ured time in the flesh is ended. The
warning Time had whispered, Death
gave, too; then stayed the issue, so
that the shock Of an inevitable taking
off was softened.
The shock was softened, not avoid
ed. 1t could not be. Of the eighty
four years that Mr.. Cullom had lived,
nearly sixty had been spent upon activ-
tiles of such usefulness and dignity
that perhaps il were wiser to describe
them as forensic than as political From
the age of twenty-siS, when this Ken
tuckian was admitted to the practice
Of law in Illinois, through the more
than half century of his country, ire
mendous disasters and triumphs to very
nearly his last day, Mr.. Cullom's life
was public; public in its largest sense,
public in its work, in its purpose, in
its value, in its sympathy and its en-
vironment.
Proven in the Offices of his adopted
county and State. from city attorney
to governor, his worth placed him in
national councils. Besides serving in
the House of Representatives for a
space that for many men has been &C
counted the greater part OF an hon.
orable career, Mr.. Cullom was a men,
Der of the Senate for thirty years. His
part in the conduct of the Republican
party, was not less notable. There, as
in Congress, he was significant man,
one of the standard-bearers in the po-
litica1 field, one of the wise men about
the council table
He had the respect, the trust, the
love, of the greatest men of the ma
ton in all these years.
To say that he had them because he
deserved them, to say that his native
talents, the greatness of his character,
the charm of his disposition, adorned
by the accomplishments which patriotic
ambition and personal pride impeiled
him naturally to acquire, raised him to
the heights, is to record briefly. his
achievements.

The Kansas Spirit in he Senate.

The Senatorial fight in Kansas has
more than local interest. Between the
three great political parties the lines
of cleavage are sharply drawn. The
movement to harmonic and unite the
Republicans and Progressives was
brought to an abrupt end by the an
nouncement of Senator Bristow that he
would be candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination. 1t need hardly be
added that the Democrats. flushed with
victory in both State and nation, are
planning carefully their fight.
As far as personalities are concerned
the position of the Democrats is in a
nebulous state. There are numerous
aspirants, but no outstanding candidate.
Ii is different in the Republican party
and Progressive party. In the former
the contest in the primary will be be-
tween Senator Bristow and ex-Sena-

(ST HAVE often found entertainment
in studying the use OF tobacco. as
1t has characterized and individ-
ualized many of my associates In the
lower House of Congress and In the Sem
ate," said the late Senator William p.
Frye, of Maine. to me shortly after his
return from Paris, where he had spent
some weeks as q member OF the commits
sion which wrote the treaty Of peace with
Spain.
II am myself regarded as pretty
steady smoker. But have known some
men who would discount my capacity In
that respect. When We were In Paris 1
observed for the first time with what
passionate fondness my associate. Cush-
man X. Davis, the Senator from Minne-
sofa. smoked q cigar. He was the only
man L ever knew who actually ate an
extra meal solely for the purpose OF smok-
ing an after-dinner cigar.
AFTER 1881. when I first went to Con-
gress, I think II Is safe to say that al
most every other man used chewing to-
bacco. Speaker Carlyle was an ardent
deyotee Of the habit. ] think he did not
smoke, but 1t was his custom every morn
ing to buy q certain kind Of fine-cut which
came in bulk, and not in prepared pack
ages. He would STUN the tobacco into
4 paper bag and consume the whole Of

ended.

To the Editor: While attending the lee
lures at the University OF Berlin i took
interest in the sociological conditions Of
the city. Naturally enough, the social
evil was one object for inquiry. did in
quire and here is what ! found:
During the reign of the predecessor OF
King william. of Franco-Prussian war
fame, some enterprising ladies In royal
circles thought it would be a great and
quarters and all houses OF . public char
acter. They brought their influence TO
bear and accomplished their purpose
Well. what was the result! 1t was this:
Two or more Of them not being per-
mitted TO live openly together. they scat
tered all over the city. each one taking
a private room. There was no law TO
prevent this, and there was at that time
probably not a block in that city where
a Cyprian was not to be found. They
honeycombed the tenement houses and
private residences where rooms were
rented, and the next chamber adjoining
what We may call virtuous and pious
family was the residence Of q woman for
hire. Nor was there any law prevent
ing a male friend from calling.
Their presence and example lured in
nocent young girls. There was no rowdy-
ism. no debauchery. no acts of which
the police could take notice. Vice had
now put On the garb Of responsibility.
and the poison radiating from the lawful
centers OF the single room system
whole neighborhoods.
And now began the erection OF those
palatial buildings with their charming
grounds and arornments known as
concert halls" which are the greatest
of all attractions to strangers, where all
the luxuries and splendors that money
can buy are lavished In decorations and
where wine. music and dancing beguile
the time. The single rcomers'' are the
chief attractions; and. 10 draw more at
tention and increase their revenues, they
bring with them fresh young girls for
whom they are constantly on the hunt.
The girls take their friends to their
rooms.
There Is a way to overcome the social
evil. but this way is not by bounding
down the unfortunate victims.
