One reason why It will bo natural lor Republicans and Progressives to come together in tho organization is that there are no radlcul differences of opinion. The platform adopted by the Progressive party at Chicago merely puis the emphasis on humane propositions and desires an Increase In direct power to tho people. The Republican party: is for thoso things, always will be. Often there is dispute among tub leaders and even the rank and file as to the best method Of procedure, but such disagreement is but a family affair, and docs not change ttio general harmony sentiment as to the final result. The Democratic party in state and natiou 'te r.ot showing any evidence of being progressive In spite of the platitudes of the president and the well-meaning periods of the secretary of state.

The new tariff law is a reactionary bit of legislation. The currency bill which tho county demanded, is as weak as it can be made ami slill be able to live. Compared with the needs the country and the attention given to the subject, It Is rather a caricature of what it ought to be. In the state of Kansas and in the nation the Democrats have abandoned every bit of efficient civil service that they could and have showed a disposition to do just as little as possible of their promises. State Issues.

The next campaign in Kansas is on state issues. In the legislature of last year all the Republicans and Progress ives found they must act together in order to get fair play or decent legislation. The same feeling now permeates the rank and file of the party and only pressure- from outside the state can prevent the getting together of Republicans and Progressives and the cleaning of the Democrats at the November election. This harmony movement Is for 6fflcoB or spoils, but because Republican principles and Progressive prluciplcB are practically identical, and all. must join together in order to carry them to success.

Rosedale High Plays Basket Ball, The Rosedale high school basket ball five gave the quintet representing the high school of this city the sur prise of their lives Saturday night by holding them down to a 29-26 score. Only a free throw by Gragg counted the winning point for the locals after a game in which their Green and White opponents once had a seven point lead. The absence of Angle, Btar guard and captain, threw the team work of the local five completely out of gear, Trantum and Harris, also two first team players, were out of the game, so there were no substitutes available. Benton and Liggett played a hard fought game for the locals. Barclay scored the first goal in several years.

Easling, city marshal of Bonner Springe, and his dpputy, Isaac Milstead, charged with the murder of Rolla Harvey December 18, 1913, in the Bonner Springs city hall, was resumed this morning before Judge Lack In the North city court. Mrs. Harvey, wife of the dead man, was placed on the stand this morning oy tne prosecuuuii. ouo icbhugu uuu on the morning of the killing her husband arose, built the fire in the kitchen stove and then, after washing his hands, wont to the back door to throw out the water from the wash basin when he was shot in the breast by a man fn the rear of the city hall, v. here they lived.

Mrs. Harvey said that her husband did not know that the town marshal had gathered a posse to capture him and that he received no command to surrender before the shot was fired. After her husband was shoe Mrs. Har vey says she raised a window in the building to ask a member of the posse to call a physician, and when she did so guns were pointed at her by members of the posse and sho was ordered to pull the window down arid stay In her rooms. She says she then called to the posse that her husband was shot and for them to come in and arrest him if they wanted to.

The posse refused to do this, according to and demanded that Harvey come to the back porch' and give himself up. When Harvey went to the back porch lo do this, Mrs. Harvey says, he was shot a second time and killed before he was given a chance to surrender. Much feeling for and against tho town marshal and his deputy has arisen in Bonner Springs since the killing. At the time of the inquest held at that town several men attending the inquest were searched and firearms taken from them by Sheriff Hlnch.

The preliminary, which started last Friday morning, will probably continue throughout today and tomorrow. Noarly one hundred men and women, residents of Bonner Springs, have come to the city to attend the hearing. The town marshal and his deputy contend that Harvey was killed after thev had repeatedly demanded his surrender and after he had shot a member of the posse which had gath ered to arrest Harvey after he had taken a shot at the town marshal near midnight on the night before.
