Selection of State Chairman

HARVE MOTTER IS DlSTURBER
Claims Morgan Went Back on

Mussing Up of Landscape for
Next Weeks Council
BY A. L. sHULTz.

There is a blood spot on the politi-
cal moon in Kansas. Observers saw
lot OF trouble ahead for the Republi-'
can party council when they viewed
the situation today They expect the
storm to hit Topeka next Tuesday
when the Republican county chair
men meet to select new state chair
man.
II is all because H. H. Motter wants
to name his successor as head of the
state committee That isn't all of the
trouble tho. But it is the source of
the worry and concern which today
made state officials and campaign
workers forget the heat and begin a
mreca pitulation Of-the state committee
organization
Motter who is internal revenue col
lector and has been one of Cover
nor Aliens CLOSE advisors, has also
served as state chairman during the
last four years. Reports in the state
house today were to the effect that
Motter wants Hugh Duff, present state
oil inspector. named as his successor
county committee and treasurer of the
state committee.
Morgan Wants Hawk.
Recently word went the rounds that
Wilbur n Hawk of Atchison would be
state chairman. W. Y. Morgan, guber-
Material nominee. gave out the WORD
that he wanted Hawk to manage the
campaign. The Atchisons man had
been in charge of Morgan's pre-pri-
mary fight and the fact that Morgan
endorsed Hawk made him stand out
as the logical man for the place. Be
sides-and most of the people in state
politics We're disposed to take this
view of the matter-the. state chair
man is usually selected by the party
nominee for governor. So Hawk
looked like a warehouse receipt for
the seasons wheat crop
Now Mottet has mussed up the
landscape by scattering a lot of new
trouble gasses in the camp of a po-
litical party which was gradually as
suming normal proportions after
more or less distressing summer.
There is a report in Topeka today that
his little letter to some of the county
chairmen claims that Morgan gave
out Il promise that he would favor
Duff for state chairman This pledge
is claimed for Duff at about the time
the state administration was being de-
livered at the Morgan headquarters.
DoIIcy Is Into 1t.
The matter is more complicated in
view of the fact that Duff seems to
search for climate that is more de-
sirable than the one in Topeka. He
was presumed TO be somewhere in
Nebraska. altho it might be Montana
or Idaho.
Another cause for concern was the
fact that IL appeared as tho a three
cornered scrap might grow out of the
childish joy which the retiring chair
man found in starting a riot just when
sober minded folks were about to pro-
nounce the blessing. Some of the OBJ
servers today saw the hand sof Col.

MIR. Mellon and the Bonus

Mr.. Melons conclusions, as an
nounced in his letter to Mr.. Fordney ),
are absolutely against any dependence
upon payments of principal or inter
est on the debts owed by foreign gov
ernments to the United States, to pay
the proposed soldiers bonus. In the
first place, the probability of any con-
siderable return from this source is
remote. To reckon on it is like de-
pending ON the falling of the sky to
bring down larks. And Mr.. Mellon
shows that even if enough could be
realized from his source to pay the
bonus, we should, under the law as it
stands and in justice to the Liberty
bond holders, be bound to apply it to
the retirement of Liberty bonds, Of
which ten billion dollars were issued
to provide these very advances to for
eign governments. The legal and
moral obligation of the foreign gov
ernments to pay this debt does not do
away with the fact that the United
States government is obligated for the
amount to its own ciizens. If the for
eign governments pay their interest,
to who is it in justice really payable?
To the holders of the Liberty bonds,
who lent the money.
Mr.. Mellon performs service quite
in line with his customary discretion
and sagacity in pointing out the finan-
cial situation, as affecting this and
other questions, with perfectly cold
blooded accuracy. AS matters stand,
our own government is about the only
one in the world that is making an
honest effort to cut its cloth, to meet
its existing obligations and in the fu-
ture to make both ends meet. Mr..
Mellon certainly deserves credit for
desiring to keep the country on that
honorable path.-Boston Transcript

A Worthless
Anti-Lynching Bill

In passing the Anti-Lynching bill
the House was acting primarily from
political motives. The Dyer bill on
its face is unconstitutional. Unless
the supreme court of the United
States amends the constitution it will
declare the law invalid, if the senate
approves the houses course. The
house was fully warned that it was
headed in the wrong direction. Ad-
vocatcs Of the measure even argued
that its opponents, if really convinced
that the bill was unconstitutional, had
no reason for voting against it, since
it would then fall anyhow.
In the state, city or county district
where public sentiment refuses re-
lentlessly to condemn mob rule as an
objectionable offense against the law
or to uphold the local authorities in
the pursuit and punishment of all Of
tenders alike. Federal laws against
lynching will be futile. There is no
state in the union that has not ade-
quate legislation for dealing with
lynchers if the law were generally
held in respect in the communities in
which it must be enforced, whether
the authority is state or federal

BANK ISLANDER"
MEASURE A LAW

Governor Cooper yesterday com
pieted the signing Of all the acts and
jint resolutions so far ratified by the
general assembly at the present ses-
sion, 60 in number. Only a half doz
en- statewide acts have been passed
at the present session, practically all
of these being held over from last
year. The large majority have been
local measures.
Only two statewide acts were in
those signed yesterday. They were
the measure to further provide for
the improving of wills in common
form and the act to punish any per-
son making false statements about
banks. This bank slander" act, it is
claimed, will afford much protection
to the banks in South Carolina The
act is as follows:
"Be it enacted by the general as
sembly of the state of South Caro-
lima: That any person who shall
falsely and wilfully and with intent
to injure, circulate any report or
make any false oral statement as to
The assets or liabilities, or to it's SOL
vency or ability to meet it's obliga-
tions, or as to its soundness, or who
shall make any other false oral state
ment calculated to affect the credit
or standing of said bank or to cas-:
suspicion upon it's solvency, sound
ness or ability to meet its deposits or
other obligations in due course shall
be deemed guilty Of misdemeanor
ard upon conviction thereof shall be
fined not less than 800 nor more
than $500 or be imprisoned for more
than one year or both in the discre-
ton of the court"
