Republican State Platform.

The strength of the Republican
state platform does not lie solely in
its description of the Encouragement
of the states affairs by the ring now
in control. This Encouragement is
notorious. Such ircompctency Is al
most without parallel in any state
protesting to have orderly govern
ment. In the recent Democratic pri-
mary the candidates put in much Of
their time trying to disprovc charges
that they were secretly supported by
the present administration. There
were over 10000 Democrats so dis
gusted with the mess made of the
states affairs that they rcfraincd
from their usual participation in the
primary. The administration dcserv-
ed all the blistcring ccnsurc the Re-
publican platform heaps upon il. But
IL was really unnecessary. for the
people of Missouri would have taken
judicial notice of the facts.
The Republican platform is strong
on it, constructive side. II promises
n genuine budget system, which Will
keep the appropriations within the
revenues. II pledges the creation #
a general board Of control Of clccmp-
synary institutions Of the partisan

During the last two years, of all
cases reported to the state board Of
health, 116 are reported as leavlns
the state for other localities for treat
ment- This is only about 10 per cent
of those leaving that are known TO
have actually left the state. In other
words, it is estimated that within two
years 1850 cases have left Kansas for
other localities for treatment, or on
an average of about 500 cases per
year.
State Loses Money.
Five hundred dollars is a conserva-
tive estimate of what each of these
cases will spend during a year of their
absence. This means a distinct loss
to Kansas of 100000 each year when,
according to those who are in posi-
ton to know, climatic conditions here
are such that with the proper faciIl-
ties, the patient would receive just as
much benefit by remaining as by go

and conditions of our people, but ex-
perience and observation in every 9TH
er army of the world.
"T am sure that it would be the
most economical of any of the many
plans now suggested. and I am sure
that it would be the most effective
organization that could be adopted by
our government. It would also be ca
pable of expanding into military
force of 100000 men. This need
only be done as the revenues of the
government would warrant. If you
have the system and the organization
and fill it up from the bottom you
have all the military experience and
skill available to be used in the most
effective manner.
Without Additional Burden.
1T would require no special or ex-
traordinary increases OF taxes upon
the people, or additional burdens OF
course, as you changed the organiZa-
ton there would be vacancies at the
bottom CT the list, which would have
to be filled either from West Point or
from the army or from civil life. The
additional number of second heuten-
ants that would be required by this
change, I recommend be appointed
from the states and congressional dis
tricts in the course of four years, the
same as the appointments now being
made to West Point and Annapolis
This system would be purely Ameri-
can, and there is nothing to indicate
that a larger military force would be
required in the near future and hope
never in the distant future
with the perfected organization
there would be no difficulty in secur-
/ ing the necessary men in case of immi-
nent danger of invasion. You could
not keep the men back. At the out
break of the Spanish-American wal
we asked fer only $4,000 volunteers
( but because of pressure and patriotic
ardor we actually enlisted 500, 00C
