Endorsement Is Questionable

Now it is said that Mayor Cowgirl
OF Kansas City has endorsed John NJ.
Atkinson for governor. The trouble
about this is that his endorsemen ent
does not cut any ice or bring any
water over the wheel. In fact, it is
a question whether his endorsement is
not a liability instead of an asset es-

No One Disturbed by Them

From the denunclations of the two
old parties made by the 4Sers IN Chi
cago last week, it would seem that
representative government will be at
an end in this country unless the new
party is successful in November. II
we accept their charges it is really
surprising that the government has
existed this long. The predictions
they made of what will happen unless
they are put in power would be aw-
full to contemplated true. Sensible
people, however. are not disturbed by
their rawlings. They claim to stand
for rule by the people, but they really
advocate class rule and class yuie Is
nothing moro than Sovietism. II
elected to power, execution of their
program would paralyze business in
