The late ex-Governor Robinson used to tell a story In which he ac knowledge that the only witness who ever made him throw up his hands nnd louve the court room was a green Irishman. Mr. P.oblnson, at the time, was counsel for one of the big railroads. A section hand had been killed by an express train and his widow was ulng for damages. The railroad had a good case, but Mr. Robinson made the mistake of trying to turn the main witness Inside out. The witness. In his quaint way, had trivr.rr a graphic description of the fa tality, occasionally shedding tears and calling on the saints. Among other things, he sworn positively the loco motive whistle was not sounded until IMPERIALISM IS OX THIN ICE. 'Should Japan enter upon a cam paign of conquest it is easy to see how she could make the retention of the Philippines by the Vnlted States so expensive in treasure and men as to seriously and perhaps permanently jeopardize all the hopes of the imper ialists. who. as a matter of fact have but a scratch hold upon the confl dence of the people at large. The ex pense of acquiring and so far keep ing the Philippines has been relative ly so slight that the average man has forgiven the undertaking because its enormity has not been seared upon his soul by excessive taxation or a draft of soldiery. But should Japan undertake to make trouble in the far east, she could pile such a burden of expenditure of money and blood upon the American people that the latter would quite likely conclude that the gime Is not worth the can dle even might It be captured In the end. The immediate effect would be felt by the imperialists In the first genet al elections, with the entire cer tainty that they would be the losers hy anv considerable expression of lack of confidence in an "expansion" that could only be maintained by the methods which Japan would compel the nation to adopt and perpetuate.

Recognition of the principle of pure democracy is continually coming to the surface, sometimes in the most unexpected places and under the tncsl unfavorable conditions. The latest illustration of this Is seen in Senator Davey's resolution to bring about the election of speaker of the house and president of the senate by popular vote. The fact that the measure was killed by the house does not Indicate any general tendency to ward reaction or conservatism on the part of anybody at all except the nouse members, and because they were not chosen on that or any core lated issue, their refusal to endorse the plan has no significance at all. "Hie Salem Daily Statesman briefly but pertinently refers to the subject as follows: "The house killed the Joint resolu tion offered by Speaker Davey look ing to the election of a speaker and a president of the senate from the state at large. That is all right, but the idea Is not dead, gentlemen. It will come up again and the more people look Into the matter the more popular It will become." Further Illustration of th'drlft of the times' toward pure democracy li shown In the fact that within the pant four years Kansas has provided for the felectlon of her state board of railroad commissioners and the state insurance commissioner by the people direct, at the same time and In Identically the same manner as the people choose the governor and other state officers: by direct vote. Both positions were for many years appointive at the discretion of the governor. The change Is especially significant because It was made with out a revolution Of the people first, in a solidly republican state and the average Kansas republican Is a prototype of the old-time French Pourbon, "wTio never learned and never forgot" The Initiative and referendum Is but the application to specific needs of the same principle and the election of United States senators by popular ulirn he was 2 years old, and Ins fitther being accidentally killed when he was 6 years.

In 1S91 he re turned to Illinois, which state he has made his home ever since.
