The passing of Stubbs probably
marks the last' of the old fashioned
orators who removed coat, vest and
collar to impress the audience with
their burning sympathy with , the
plain people.
The Republicans will have 120
men In the next congress and the
Third Termers will have 12. And
yet the Moosers have the audacity
to claim .that they are the. second
party In the nation! Iola Register.
Gov. Stubbs says in his Thanks
giving proclamation Ithat "with a
few exceptions the people -of- Kansas
have enjoyed a season of prosperity
and tranquility." He does not
specify the exceptions but probably
means the defeated politicians. ."V

WHY HE LIKES KANSAS.
7 Kansas Is a good place to
live in because of its agrl-
"cultural, mining and manu-,
facturihg resources. It has
a healthful and comfortable
climate. The people have
high ideals and are icon-
tantly striving to,, reach
them. The educational sys, '
tem is, excellent and pro-;
Kressive. and the moral, and
religious character Is high.
'The community life is fine;
it is free from the evils of ,
over-crowded populations. ,
The beautiful homes and
wholesome family life make
Kansas an ideal place lor '
rearing ch)lldren. IWliile l
Kansas has been credited
with a number of political
fakers, there is no state In
the Union that excels' It in
sane politics, progressive and
just government, and , wise
laws for the promotion of
health, the protection of life
and property, and the estab-;
lishment of justice among-
the people. F. K. Blackmar,
Prof. Sociology and Econo-
mics, University of Kansas.

THE PROPHETS, AT HOME,
One of the curious things about
Tuesday's election in ,Kansas is that
the home counties of the leading
Bull Moosers all went back on them
Douglas county, the home of Gov
ernor Stubbs,. though It gave Capper
a majority of over 600, gave Judge
Thompson a majority of 89. Lyon
county, the home of William Allen
White, national, committeeman for
the Bull Moose party, gave a ma
jority of 198 . for , the , Democratic
candidate for congress. 7 Waubaun-
lsee county, home of Joe Dolley, gave
the .Democratic candidate for con;
gress a majority of 85. Saline
county, the home of Senator Bris
tow, gave the Democratic candidate
for congress a majority of 816.
Greenwood county, home of Frea
S. Jackson who Is chairman of the
Republican party council . made .
Bull Moose speech that greatly of
fended every Republican in the
state, went back on him and gave
a majority of 180 for his opponent
for congress. Sedgwick county!
home of Victor Murdock and Henry
J. Allen, gave a majority of 334 for
Hodges. Leavenworth . Times.
among ,the rare and - transcendent
few who lead the national advance
-should - with deliberate . purpose
trade a national figure for an un
fledged and unknown quality to
stand up and speak for Kansas In
the loftiest powered legislative con
stellation that shines In our govern
mental firmament, astounds with Its
startllngness," Really we . didn't
know It was aa bad as that
' The .country roads of Dickinson
county have improved SOner cent
in iwo yara. . There's yet room for
improvement and most, of, the room
is In the suburbs of the towns. Trade
comes the -easiest'-way these times
and towns should make good roads
lead their way. . . . ' "

Speaking of prophets, Allen coun
ty gave Taft 1659 and Roosevelt
892. Allen is the home of Charlie
Scott who conducted the western
literary bureau of the Republican
committee at Chicago. He had
charge of all the material sent to
papers west of Ohio and It was the
most ; Intelligently ' prepared mater
ial of the national campaign. It
was logical; clear and earnest and
his iiome county' was convinced.
Wilson has announced thit he
will call an extra session next April
to monkey with the tariff. That's
where Woodrow gets hit. From this
time every manufacturer and mer
chant will hedge and business .may
get thoroughly In the dump before
the new administration starts. Had
be been smart he would bare stated
that no ertra session would be held
and that no tariff legislation would
come until after careful stooy cr tie

. The talk of women jurors Is no
fake. Of course they will be on the
list just as the men -are, and they
will have to "take their medicine
just as the men do. - The rule of
the courts is that a juror shall not
be excused merely because he
busy, or has lots of work on his
handa. Every, man Is supposed to
be busy, and to have lots of work.
so, when. a woman Is drawn on a
jury, the fact that the floors are un
swept, her beds unmade and her
meals uncooked, will not be suffi
cient excuse -for her io get off the"
jury,. It is doubtful If even the
crying of the baby will soften the
hearts of some stony judges. Law
rence Gazette.
Right off the bat a correspondent
of the Capital springs this wail:
"That Stubbs 'should be defeated at
the hands of the Kansans whom he
has served with all a strong man's
strenuous ardor this decade of pro
gressive years that Kansaa should
deliberately cast aside the mightiest
factor for political righteousness to
whom she has given birth la a gen

WHY HK LIKES KANSAS.
Kansas has been criticised,
but here are some facts very
much in her favor":
, There are , over 600,000
boys in Kansas, over school
age, who have never seen a
saloon. Out of 105 counties
in the state 80 have not a
single tenant In poor bouses,
and 62 counties do not even
own a poor-farm. There are
61 counties without an . in
mate in their jails, 17 coun
ties without Jails, and there
are 87 counties that last year,
did not send an Inmate to the
Insane .asylum. Kansas has
900 newspapers that will not
take a liquor advertisement,
and her ratio of Illiteracy is
the lowest of any state in the
Union. - Mankato , Minn,
Journal. ' . , ...

Get up right in the, morning. Go
to bed right at night. Start with
joy. in your heart, hope in the fu
ture, kindness, In your purpose.
If ,it is a dark day, never mind;
you will lighten It up. If It is a
bright day, you will' add to the
brightness. Give a word of cheer,
a kindly greeting and a warm hand
shake to your friends.

NOT ROOM FOB BOTH. ";
Men of principles like W. A, White
have no place In the same party
with such men as J. S. Dean.. Men
like Gov. .Stubbs have no place in
the same party with pave Mulvane.
The writer of this has no place In
ft party with Charlie Scott. They
may be Just as honest as we are but
their ideas pi government are not
advanced. J. L. Brady, In Law
rence Journal. '
No, "their Ideas of government
are not advanced" to the point where
they believe that representative
government' should be discarded;
that constitutions should be as eas
ily Amended as statutes; that the
majority of those voting on a given
proposition, however small a min
ority that might be of the whole
number of people, should be su
preme, over-riding both courts and
constitutions; that the . legislative
and Judicial branches Of the govern
ment, which are now co-ordinate,
should be made subordinate to the
executive; that the courts should be
required to consult, not the law and
the precedents, nor even the justice
of the causes, but the election re
turns. .In a word ;Mr. Dean, Mr,
Mulvane and Mr. Scott believe In
government of laws and not of men;
they believe that this nation should
be kept a representative - republic
not changed Into a Socialistic demo
cracy. Their Ideas of government
have not "advanced" to the point
where they wish to subvert" the sys
tem of government which was de
vised by the fathers and which was
embodied In an Instrument which
Gladstone declared to be "the most
wonderful work ever struck off at a
given time oy . tne Drain and pur
pose of man." . . .'; '
Mr. Brady (s right, frhe man
who can give .his endorsement to
the heresies and ragaries of the
'"Progressive" platform from the
initiative, referendum and recall to
the Third Term, "has no place in a
party with Charlie Scott" and we
are glad he recognizes the fact..
And that is equivalent to saying,
we trust our friend will take notice,
that he has no place In the Repub
lican party. For Charley Scott is In
absolute harmony with the platform
of the National Republican party
which is the only Republican party
there Is and Itr. Erady is not.
'-' r -'. tv"----e, r-t
his political abiding place, for he
feels perfectly at . home In the Re- y
publican party.' Since "there Is no
place" for both-of them In the same
party, therefore he Is obliged to
anticipate an early, eeperation from
his friend and his departure to the ,
political camp where, by his own .
avowance, he properly belongs.
