A Partisan Election Law

The opponents of the California non- partisan election law, which was passed on Friday declared that though it's passage was certain, they could moi go home and face their constituents without pro- test against it. More accurately, they should have said that they could not face part of their sttuents. the professional politicians large and small, who profit largely eke a ptfu exist ence from, the pursuit of partisan politics.
 The protesting legislators need have feared great body of their constituents. the and women who believe that government is created for the people and not people for the government; that offices instruments for the proper admins traitor of public affairs and afford salaries to incumbents and their attaches.
 The people at large supremey interested in parties. A iority of according tra- dition Most of belong this or that party be- cause our fathers belonged to it. The republican whose father a democrat or the democrat whose father a republican is rather rare brd When find him have a profound respect for him. Whether he right wrong. he has least climbed of family rut and he has more sble reason may be for being what he is than the rest of us have. Nor. is he necessarily lacking in filial duty. His father, if living now might not hold Ahe party of generation ago. If so, would be likely to be holding tradition rather than to principle
 The people, believe not so tenacious of party traditions to maintain them al the expense good government, and the best government is that which is administered by the best men; we should elect such office whatever may be the parties which they belong
 The California non partisan election law leaves candidates for office without party designations. That is an nconvenient arrangement for the vel low dog" voters, but there not many of them now there used to be. The careless though more independent voter, who used to resolve doubts regarding the comparative merits of candidates corning whom he knew little nothing by voting for his party candidate, will be stimulated to in quiry concerning the candidates whom he may not know.

William R. Nelson

The death of other private citizen in this country, perhaps. of any country, called out such widespread expressions of sorrow as that of William R. Nelson, editor and of the Kansas City Star, week. From every of the coun try came messages of mourning and of appreciation the great work of the dead editor, from persons in every walk of life, members of all parties, mem- bers of every religious faith and of religious faith all
 MT Nelson held public office. In mo dIe life his fortune swept away through fault of his. Without any other equipment for journalism than a matchless courage conscience and fine sense of right and wrong a determination. always, to support the one and fight the other he launched the Kansas City Star in 1880. It small. four page paper; there little money behind it, and it not until after severe struggle of four years that it's future assured.
 In that four years MT. Nelson placed the Star a foundation that could never be shaken It had gained the confidence of all the people, the mingled respect and of the element and the love and admiration of the best.
 Independence of action was a marked charac- teristic MT. Nelson it is of all strong men. He never hesitated ties which bound him to what he believed to be wrong. He had been demo- crat, and he became the personal representative of Samuel J. Tilden in the Hayes -Tilden campaign. When the democratic party, Tour years later, re- fused renominate Tlden, he became independ- ent. It about that time that the Star was founded and it conducted an independent journal with republican tendencies. but it was the first great newspaper to rise against stand -patsm, and Mr. Nelson became of the leaders of the progressive party movement
 We have spoken of the equipment of Mr. Nell son for journalism There one item which we have omitted an intuitive judgment of news values a measure of what the people wanted to read for profit and entertainment. This is equipment which only broad bring into the newspaper business. Others may acquire it by training. but many newspaper acquire it. It is beyond them It of capacity, natural or acquired to put self in the place of the multitude This capacity of MT. Nelson grew his paper grew.

paving recommended by Mir. Parish, and which is known as 'asphaltic concrete laid under the Topeka speci- fications, is positively the same so far as durability is concerned, as the paw ing now laid in Phoenix and can be laid from $125 to S155 per yard as against $2.15 per yard for the bitu- lithici
 And in the first article you make the statement that The charge of
 incompetence was alleged, but by whom? He was prosecuted by two of the highest priced lawyers in the state and it is commonly reported that a certain paving company as sisted in paying for them"
 MT. Conway states positively that the first of the above statements is untrue; that asphaltic concrete laid under the Topeka specifications is not the same, as far as durability is con cerned, as the paving now laid in Phoenix and that such paving cannot be laid in Phoenix for sl.55 per yard To less He also states that if the statement about a paving company's assisting in paying for the prosecu- ton of the charges against Mir Far ish was intended to refer to him or his company, the same is absolutely untrue.
 l have advised MT Conway that both of the above statements are ac- tionable in q civil suit-the ore in Tuesdays issue because it injures the business interests of the Warren Brothers company by a misrepre- sentation as to the quality of it's pavement and the one in Sundays issue because it injures the business interests of the company by the mis- representation that the company took part in busting the former city mana ger. Mir. Conway states that the statements are particularly injurious to the interests of the company be- cause of your standing as a property owner, having extensive interests in the city, and people naturally believe that you have not made the above statements without investigating their Correctness. and hence, he feels that the matter cannot be ignored by him bu that lie must insist on your state ments being corrected
 1 presume that the statements were made by you in the heat of the dis cussion over the removal of the former manager and without any particular investigation as to their correctness. If so, it seems to me that the proper | course for you to pursue is to explain | satisfied of their correctness, l pre- sume that there is no way out but to | try the issue
 Kindly advise me of your attitude | in regard to the matter in order that l may report the same to Mir. Con way. Personally. l should prefer very much if the matter were amicably | adjusted
 Very truly yours, J. l.. GUST. l To the foregoing Mir Irvine makes reply as follows:
 1 T have no desire to mislead any one, so 1 give MT. Conway's state ments as repeated by his attorney as
 the best refutation of the report that either he or his company assisted in paying the attorneys.
 ! AS to the asphaltic concrete style
 of paving laid under the Topeka spe-
 cifications, L was in error as to the
 prices quoted. They should have been
 $1.70 to $l.SO per square yard. The
 word positively instead of 'practi-
 cally,' relative to the merits of the
 two styles of paving was a typo-

RELIEVES AVERAGE AMERICAN IS NOT : WORTH WHILE" WILL DIVORCE HUSBAND
 AND MAKE BID FOR GLORY ON THE STAGE

Mrs. Marguerite Upton Hopkins of Washington, D. C., has lost all faith in men and declares that the average American man is decidedly not worth while. She thinks the only real career for a woman is on the stage, so she will become an actress pretty soon. Mrs. Hopkins has an- other big idea, to wit: that she is the best dressed woman in the national capital. Her husband, Sherbourne Hopkins, IT,, represents many Mem- can and Central American interests in Washington, and is at present somewhere in Central America. "But, wherever he is." Mrs. Hopkins emphatically states, "he is going to have a divorce suit to defend.'
