THOUGH it is not directly iden-

from the library Of John A. Rea-
The 1rrepressible Conflict" by
John r. Rogers gives slant on
some of the economic thinking of
the period when Washington moved
up from territory to state. Rogers
was a Populist from Kansas. whose
political philosophy found a re-
sporse that made him governor
after only a few years residence
in this state.
Rogers was product of the
brand of politics developed by the
Republican party in the early
eighties and the unsound economic
condition of the agricultural in
dustry. The philosophy represent
ed by The Irrepressible Conflict
had been developing for some time
but was given an impetus by ac-
tivities of certain political inter

nation of President James A Gar

President Arthur was a good
executive and clever politi-
cal strategist. hut he played
the game honestly and always
laid the cards on the table
face up, with his motives and
purposes clearly disclosed. Ma
turally, game played that
way has to he straight, even
II all the players do not win.
And playing the game that
way put Arthur in very bad
with the clumsy politicians
who preferred to do their work
In the dark.
BY all the rules of the game.
Arthur was entitled to Republican
support for reelection after he
finished Garfield's term, but the
bosses made It evident that he
wasn't the man. With the help of
what the other side referred to
as the money power the Re-
publicons nominated James A.
Blaine and sought tn appease the
GAR. by giving second place on
the ticket to Gen. John a. Logan.
Blaine was defeated by Ceve-
land but that did not condone. ac-
cording to the thinking of the lib
eral element. the Republican in

up with the money barons.
Among those who were spurred to
activity by this political perfidy
was young John r. Rogers, lead
er in Farmers Alliance movement
in Kansas He became editor OF
the kansas Commoner,' and the
year that Washington became a
state was a member OF the group

NEW YORK, April 22.-As spring
