Manager. UNWARRANTED CAMPAIGN SLANDER. The gentlemen who are endeavoring the Republican party of to commit Kansas to a political crusade against responsible for the the railroads are introduction into this campaign of a lot of bitter personal feeling. They find it a very easy matter to seem to who hold opposite views charge men with dishonorable motives. It would well to cut out this kind of dembe It is not a good year to agoguery.
in that sort of warfare. It indulge has a bad effect on a campaign which full party strength. Besides requires that, the people they talk to are just as liable to know the men they slander as they are. The time has not yet come when sensible people are going to write down every railroad man as a scoundrel simply because others desire them to do It should not be forgotten that the Republican party this year will not have the advantage of the great popularity of Theodore Roosevelt as a campaign asset. It would also be well to remember that this is the year to look for a reaction from the upheaval of 1904 and be warned of the necessity for careful and considerate party action if we are to secure a victory at the polls in November.
Encouraged by the family rows in all parts of the state the opposition hears the voice of opportunity calling and will undoubtedly be in position to make an interesting campaign. It is not a good time to furnish the enemy with ammunition for the election campaign. Neither is it a good time to disregard the rights of any faction or interest. THE SMITH INDICTMENT. The fact that Judge Philips SuStained the demurrer to the indictment against Senator F.
Dumont Smith, returned by the grand jury last December, will be very gratifying to Senator Smith's friends all over Kansas. It was felt when the return was made that it did the Senator great injustice and that time would entirely relieve him of the stigma under which it placed his name. There is no doubt whatever that this indictment was due to personal and political malice and that the instigators had little or 119 lope of having it go beyond the point it reached today. Judge Philips' scathing review of the indictment amounts practically to a complete vindication for Smith and the matter will probably never be seriously considered again. To a man in Senator Smith's position, as a public man, such an indictment is a very damaging affair, no matter how it is finally disposed of.
The grand jury system makes it possible to render a verdict of guilty against a man without his knowledge that he is even charged with a crime, and when the charge is disproven he has no redress. The grand jury is a relic of barbarism and, when conducted as the jury under discussion was, is a menace to the safety of every man who is subject to it. AN UNBIASED OPINION. The following is from that fair, unbiased and impartial newspaper, the Topeka State Journal: What a colossal failure Kansas has for an- Attorney General! Probably no man ever held that office who ever had such magnificent opportunities to serve his people, and Incidentally make a name for himself as has the present incumbent of that office. Probably no officer in that capacity ever made less of his op ortunity.
Coming from the source it does Attorney General Coleman will probably consider this a compliment and very valuable testimonial to his judgment and integrity as a public officer. It is possible that he may feel disposed to dismiss his $15,000 libel suit which is pending against the paper but which, of course, has nothing to do with the Journal's opinion of Attorney General Coleman. THE PEOPLE ARE EXPRESSING AN OPINION TODAY. Commenting upon his experience as Assistant Attorney General, Judge Garver says: I am unwilling to believe that Topena is hopelessly given over to the vicious and criminals classes, though they are certainly having their inning at this time. Decent citizenship will yet triumph, the orders of the court will be respected, and the laws will be enforced.
Kansas is not the state that will long endure corruption and vice in its capital city; nor will the law-abiding people of this community tolerate a reign crime in their midst. The overthrow of law violators must come, however, in my opinion, through the efforts of faithful officials whose duty see obedience to law does prevail and that violators of law are punished. No private citizen should be called upon to step into the breach made by de linquency of a public If the latter fails in the performance of his duty, there should be a different method adopted to transfer such neglected duty to another. Instead of an assistant, there should be a successor, will devote his talents and energies to the performance of duty without fear, favor or hope of reward. Judge Garver's opinion as expressed above is eminently correct and the Herald heartily agrees with him in the theory that a successor to the county attorney who fails to do his duty, and not an assistant, is what is needed.
The result of today's primary will indicate how the people feel on the subject and to them finally must come the responsibility for the city's condition. THE OLD TRAILS. The history of the old trails which stretch over the plains and mountains of the western portions of the United States would be a history of the progress of civilization, commerce, religion, government and everything that goes to the making of a state out of a wilderness. Now, when it is all but too late, the country is waking up to the importance of preserving this history and marking the routes. California men are trying to induce the state to make a public highway of the old Camino Real by which the Jesuit mission builders made their way from Mexico to California when Santa Fe was an important trading post and headquarters of the religious in north Mexico.
A remarkable undertaking of the same nature is that of Ezra Meeker, a pioneer and historian of the Northwest, who more than fifty years ago plodded over the "Oregon trail" to the Dalles, in the extreme Northwest. He bas lately set out from Seattle with a covered lynch-pin wagon of the style of the "prairie schooner" of former days, drawn by oxen, to retrace the way from the Dalies to Indianapolis. His own account of his intention is this: "From the Dalles I expect to go across the Blue mountains to Pendleton, then to La Grande, up the Snake river to Fort Hall, and on through the South pass in the (Rocky) mountains. Then the trail goes down to Sweetwater, the North Platte in Nebraska, and the Main Platte to its junction with the Missouri river." That was the junction point of several roads by which emigrants from the settled parts of the Union made their way. His own route was from Indianapolis.
He expects to be eight months on his journey. Already an "Old Oregon Trail monument fund" has been started, and it is a part of Mr. Meeker's plan to increase it by delivering lectures on his way to the old home. That "prairie schooner" hauled by red oxen is likely to be a "drawing adverlisem*nt" to that end. Throughout the length of Kansas ran the best known and perhaps the most important of all these historic old highways, the Santa Fe trail.
Erery citizen of the Sunflower state is interested in preserving the records of this famous, road, and the movement that has been started by the Daughters of the American and the State Historical society should receive a helping hand from all. The Boston Herald, in speaking of the importance of this work in the West, says: "Out in Kansas they have a 'trail which is observed especially in the Kansas public schools. This year the day was observed last month. The purpose of it is to instruct the children in the history of the old Santa Fe trail, with its significance in the growth of the West and through the interest thus aroused in the community to raise money for marking the course of the trail which stretched for 400 miles across what is now the state of Kansas when it was a wilderness, elsewhere untrodden except by Indians and wild beasts. "Before the discovery of gold in California this trail had already been traveled by adventurers, traders with the Indians and with Mexico, of which Santa Fe was the northern mart for nearly half a century.
Lieut. Zebulon M. Pike having shown the way. about 1807 in an exploration when he discovered Pike's peak. It was in 1825 that the Santa Fe trail was improved and became a very notable highway.
Much of its course is now obliterated. The deep ruts made by emigrants and traders' wagons have been plowed over and populous cities now exist through which the precise line of the old road has become ulicertain. It is well to study up its course and indicate it by suitable monuments. The Kansas Legislature has voted an appropriation of $1,000 for the purchase of posts to be set up on the line." The Herald recently contained the following piece of scientific informa- tien: A new proof of the descent of the hutman family from the monkey tribe iS found in the hereditary falling dream. The explanation is that the "falling' sensations have been transmitted from our remote ancestors who were fortunate enough to save themselves, after fa ting from great heights (tree tops), by clutching the branches.
It will be recalled that in the falling dream no one ever strikes ground. From the Hon. Sol Long of Arkansas City the Herald today received this contradiction of the theory set forth above: Never hits the ground! Now this shows just how much a man who never went fishing 01 the Walnut 07 Arkansas river knows about dreams. I want to correct this statement because I know they do hit the ground Col. William Patrick Hackney and inyself were one time taking a vacation and along in the night some time I was awakened by a noise somewhat akin to William opposing the equal suffrage bill.
I looked toward his cot and saw it was empty, I looked again and saw William on the ground and I asked him what was the matter and he said he had had a dream, and dreamed that re was faliing from a great height, and 'hat he was afraid of hitting the ground. I then said to him: "Well, you hit it, didnt His answer is unprintable. I mail this correction in the interest of the science. It's a wonder the Wichita papers don't start the story that a man was blown skyward when that big gas well gushed and that men with telescopes, and astronomical mathematicians, are figuring how long i it will take him to get back to v- enworth Post. That burning gasser at Caney is breeding an awful crop of liars.
They may succeed in putting it out, but the correspondents will have to be killed off first. One story stated that the intense heat in the atmosphere had started the grass to growing. The law-breaking and law-ignoring spirit now rife in the capital city is an invitation to every crook and criminal, to all dive-keepers, gamblers and blackguards to come to Topeka and ply their vocations. Since the to the Gould tonishing to been taken York World. recent visit of the stork home it would not be ashear that Mr.
Gould has into the It sounds like an old-fashioned fairy tale when we read that King Edward VII is traveling on the continent as the Duke of Lancaster. Who is to be fooled by. it? Vote today at the primaries. If you will not take that much interest in your town then hold your peace for the next two years about the way things are run. The man who has not sufficient civic pride to say by his vote how his party should stand on municipal affairs has no right to howl or grumble.
Wm. Dean Howells was 69 instead of 70 years old the other day. There is a decade at either end of life's journey when a year or two counts. After all, it is supposed that King Edward has some serious errand on the continent, though he is traveling incog and for his health. Mr.

LIFE.
For, what is life? so brief best. An awakening between rest atta rest? An insects trail upon the sand, A gem's bright flash upon the hand, A breath upon a frosted pane; A moment warmed then called aga'n. A wave line traced on Adan's shore Just rippled there, then seen no mo A fleecy cloud, a passing haze, Canst think of aught more brief, rays. more Dissipated by the sun's warm fleet, To image forth times flying feet: Yet Our in a moment, in a breath, love awakes which knews no death, And life which seems so brief to be Is crowned by immortality. Oh, fisher fleet, go in from the sea And furl your wings.
The bay is gray with the twilit spray, And the loud surf springs The chill buoy tell is rung. by the har.as Of ail the drowned, Who know the woe of the wind and tow Of the tides around. Go in. go in! Oh, haste from the sea, And let them restA son, and one who was wed, and one Who went down unblest. A SEA GHOST.
Aye, even as I. whose hands at the bell Now labor most, The tomb has gloom, but oh, the gloom Of the drear sea ghost! He evermore must wander the ooze Beneath the wave. Forlorn, to warn of the tempest born, And to save-to save! Then go, go in and leave us the sea! For only so Can peace release us and give us ease Of our salty woe. -Century Magaz'ne. PATCH UP DIFFERENCES France and Germany Arrive at Conclusions.
Algeciras, March questions of establishing the State Bank of Morocco and policing the country, which are the main questions of difference, were practically settled today to the satisfaction of France and Germany. It is expected that a formal convention will be signed Tuesday and the conference adjourned. The state bank is to be controlled by France, Germany, England and Spain. France is willing that neutral powers should have supervision over the French police to be used in Morocco. CLAIMS AGAINST RECEIVER Bankers' Trusti Co.
Tries to Recover on Drafts. The Bankers' Trust company, successor to the City National bank of Kansas City, has brought claims against the receiver of the First National bank aggregating about $100, 000. These claims are based upon drafts drawn by the Southwestern Fuel company "about June 26, 1905. Some of these drafts were drawn on the First National bank of Topeka and some on the City National of Kansas City, and they were protested by both banks. The receiver of the First National refused to honor them.
The case has been submitted to Judge F. F. Oldham of Washington, counsel for the comptroller the currency, and his decision will probably be final.
