And even then you've got to Judge
him by his batting average. An al
derman is human and makes mis-
takes. No alderman can satisfy every
body. That kind of human being
hasn't yet been invented.
There has been lot of bunk in the
campaign, and a whole lot of washing
of darned dirty political linen. But
that's the nature of the human beast
in politics, and all we can do is to try
to see through it and beyond it and
try to get at the truth.
I'm no reformer, and my notions of
what's good and what's evil would
probably shock some of our puritani-
cal reformers. So don't take much
stock in the noise of that class of re-
formers who are so ALFRED busy re-
forming the other fellow that they
can't find time to reform themselves.
So I'm not much worked up over
vice-hunting reformers who deal al
ways with effects and blindly ignore
fundamental causes.
But l am interested in public ser
wants who feel that it is their duty to
protect the interests of the 95 per
cent, instead of selling out to the
per cent whose business it is to ex-
plot the PEG pie.
l do not believe any mayor should
be a boss and control aldermen as so
many political puppets. His is the
executive branch of local govern
ment, theirs the legislative. Each is
a check on the other, or should be.
And 1 see no good to the public in
policy that demands the election of
Thompson aldermen, if that means
aldermen that will take orders from
the Aundin machine.
IwouId feel easier about the situa-
ton if there were no danger of such
bosses as Deneen and West getting
back in the saddle through the mis-
takes of Thompson. Or of Roger Sui |
Ivan and John Hopkins getting more

A GOOD PLATFORM.

The Republican party council has
presented to the people of Kansas the
most sensible and business-like plat
form in ten years. 1t does not deal
in buneombe or extravagant claims.
but is a Straightforward outline of
constructive and helpful legislation
that the state of Kansas needs. 1t is
not the province of a party council
to 1egislate, but to outline the objects
which legislation should seek to at
tain. The next administration in
Kansas will be Republican from gov
ernor to both houses of the legisla-
ture, and the Republicans will have
upon their shoulders the responsible
ity of legislation.
Kansas needs some big things done
in a sane and sensible constructive
way. 1t needs such revision of its
laws as will make for more efficient
and economical government, and will
accomplish things that are for the
benefit of the people of Kansas. 1t
does not need any more boards or
commissions. In fact 1t can get
along with less. but it does need in
telligent Law making that will give to
the state the simplest and shortest
cut to the accomplishment of helpful
things in the commemorative life.
The Republican platform is bust
ness-like document and one that will
appeal to the voters Of Kansas. If
the legislature will live up to it, it
will go down in the history as having
made a notable record. and one that
will deserve praise.

vestigate. The woman was urAole to
walk and seemed to be in intense
pain She could not talk coherently.
She said her name was Marshall, but
would say no more. She screamed
continually.
Officer Conn Immediately called the
patrol wagon and DR.. Coffey. The
woman was taken to the police sta
ton. After receiving emergency
treatment, she was taken to the ST.
Joseph's hospital.
Three ribs were found to be broken
her right ankle was injured, and sht
sustained internal injuries. Her cor.
