Prof. Koontz who has announced himself as candidate for state treasurer to succeed Mr Hill, is a man who stands high in the community and believes in "fair play." He wishes his many friends to get together and give him an able support when the time comes. Mr C. H. Kutz, a member of the city council and a young man, a strong Republican who has lived thirty years in Topeka, and devoted twenty-five years to school work, is spoken of by his many friends as a prospective candidate for city t easurer who they believe would make an efficient official for that important clue. A RAW DECISION. The decision of Judge Cottrell of the western district of Oklahoma on the Jim Crow car law, comes nearer being no decision than anything we have ever heard or read. He simply evades the issue and decides something entirely foreign to the point under consideration. The proposition submitted was under the enabling act, which permitted Oklahoma to become a state whether she had authority to enact such laws or not. It was shown that it was a violation of the constitution by the attorneys for the plaintiff, but the people who brought the case could not expect much from the judge as he seems to be evasive on the matter. Not having had any experience on the bench, he is somewhat backward in making a decision against the people in Oklahoma where he resides, for fear that he might be ostracized for giving a decision that was not asked for by either side. We hope the time will come when we can get men on the judicial bench who will have backbone as well as ability to decide cases according to law and not to feelings. We do not mean to say there are not any who do that, for we have one man in Kansas—Judge Pollock who does not look upon fear or fever, but decides matters according to evidence. Judge Edwin S. Waterbury, attorney at law, of Emporia, Kansas, committeeman for the Independent party or Hurst' party, which was launched in Chicago some few months ago, was a guest at the National hotel this week. Mr Waterbury was circulating a petition of his party and also placing his cause before the voters of Kansas during this campaign. It is no more than right that each person to whom this petition is presented, should sign same, and give these people a hearing, as their cause is one that deserves to be heard and commented upon. The Judge is a New Yorker by birth, and is one of Kansas' most highly respected citizens, having lived in this state for years. Of course we are supporting the Republican ticket and are for Tatt from start to finish, but we believe in giving the other fellow a chance to present his cause before the people and Republicans, Democrats and all should sign this petition for the above reason We are not so selfish and hidebound we cannot record others the same rights that we ask for ourselves. This party has only been recently organized, hence was too late to participate in the primaries. WARNING TO CHAIRMAN OF THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE AND THE REPUBLICANS OF KANSAS. There is too much lukewarmness on the part of someone connected with the committee in getting the claims of the Republican party before the people of this state. There is considerable work to be done and missionaries ought to be sent forth into every village and hamlet to discuss matters pertaining to the welfare of the people in the coming election. Those who are not right should be made to get right and those subject to reason, should be reasoned with. The Democrats are making inroads into the Republican camps and it we do not wake up, Bryan will have Kansas. Let everybody get busy. LAWRENCH, KANSAS The Stewardess Board of St Luke A. M.
