Topeka. Kas.. Nov. 26. Judge Frank
Doster, the newlv elected chief Justice
of the supreme court of Kansas, is a
socialist and the more forward bocial
ists and advocates of extreme deforms
in Kansas are Kreatly pleased with his
election. He is an aide lawyer, a close
student, a thoughtful Jurist and is
regarded with favor by the common
people. For six years he has pro
claimed socialists and communistic
doctrines from the stump. He is a na
tive of Virginia, and when a mere hoy
entered the I'nion army from Indiana.
Then he came to Kansas and located
in the practice of law at Marion, where
he still resides, t'ntll 1SSS he atlliliatod
with the Republican party, but was
always Independent In his views, and
It was not until the campaign of lK9Ui
when the farmers' alliance came near
sweeping the state that Doster pro
mulgated the doctrines which caused
many property owenrs to open their
eyes. The people of the Btate were
astounded at his radical declarations,
and while he was not a candidate for
office, he was one of the leading spirits
In the alliance party, and was accord
ed the distinction of being its legal
adviser.
APPOINTED DISTRICT JUDGE.
At that time Judge Doster was a
district Judge, to which position he
had been elected as an independent
Republican. In the campaign of 1SU0
he had become bo partisan that the
Republicans turned against him, and
set about planning for his defeat the
year following. He had thoroughly
Identliled himself with the Populist
party, and, of course become its can
didate for district Judge. With the
Republicans and Democrats state
pride, state credit and rights of prop
erty rose above party ties, and with
unamlty never before equalled In the
state they came together for the sole
and only purpose of defeating Doster.
The district was composed of Marion,
Chase and McPherson counties. A con
ference waB held by the leading Re
publicans and Democrats, and It was
agreed that Luclen Earle, a Demo
cratic lawyer of McPherson, should be
the candidate. In his announcement
Earle solicited the support of "all who
bcllve the Judiciary is the sheet an
chor of our UberMes and the balance
wheel of American Institutions." Judge
Doster announced that he would make
a speech In the opera house in Marion
and deiine his position. An immense
audience greeted him. He proclaimed
doctrines at the meeting which were
new to the people of Kansas. This
was the text of his remarkable speech:
NOTIONS AS TO PROPERTY.
"The only law which the user of
capital is I inn ml to observe is that law
which finds its origin, end and sanction
in himself the law of self-interest.
I have asserted that the rights of a
user of a thing were paramount to the
.rights of its owner.
You, as the user of a machine or the
reader of a book, have greater rights
In the same than the Inventor or the
author has."
In that speech, which occupied more
than two hours, Judge Dorster said:
"The mutuality between capital and
labor is denied. Radical and unpopular
as it may be, I deny the existence of
that mutallty between labor and capi
tal which we hear so constantly as
serted and which Is the stock utter
ance of politicians and commerclulists
and legislators and that class of ula
quers and retailers of cant phrases
who catch up with other people's
speech and quote it for its Jingle and
amusement of the fancy. My conten
tion is that labor and capital, or, more
accurately speaking, creator and creat
ed, are not mutual and equal.
"The only law which the user of
capital is bound to observe is that
law which finds its origin, end and
sanction in himself. Radical utter
ances these are, but I have an abiding
faith that the economic philosophy of
the near future will base Itself upon
the principles here announced. I need
not be reminded that I have advanced
a proposition at variance with the age,
and all ages, in fact, tind I am quite
well aware that as against the precon
ceived notions of the political econo
mist it is not a self-convincing one.
Stripped to Its nakedness, the proposi
tion is that the owner of property does
not possess, with respect to such prop
erty, an equality of right with the
user of It, and upon the truth of that
proposition let me say to you, mem
bers of the Farmers' and Citizens' Al
liance, and you people's party men,
rests the entire fabric of your political
platforms and our demand for indus
trial reforms,"
HIS FIRST DEFEATS.
The promulgation of this new doc
trine statled many men In Kansas who
owned property. Railroad officials
conferred, and a conference of leading
Republicans was held at Topeka to
map out a programme that would sure
ly defeat Doster. This fight occurred
when nothing but county officials were
to be chosen. It was an off year. Re
publicans believed that If they could
unite with the Democrats and defeat
the legal adviser of the new Populist
party it would never again rise to dis
turb them. The whole power of the
state was directed to this end, and the
result was a crushing defeat to Dos
ter. The Republican state league was
called together at the beginning of the
battle, and this address was prepared
for use in that district:
"The wandering vagabonds who have
joined the alliance for political pur
poses only, and who are trying to make
a living; by the sweat of their Jaws
instead of honest toll, will, of course,
fall to pay their debts. An epidemic
of unreason swept over our state last
fall, and many of our people were in
oculated with the pestilence. Quaran
tine has been established and Is rigid
ly maintained. The epidemic Is not
spreading, and many of the original
victims are convalescent.
"The party, under the seductive
leadership of demagogues, who mag
nify the farmers' misfortunes and be
little their resources, obtained control
of the lower house of our last legisla
ture. Its conspicuous failure as a law
making body filled the more sensible
members of the alliance with chagrin,
and they will embrace the first oppor
tunity offered to reinstate themselves
In the Republican party.
"Kansas Is marvelous In its history,
matchless In its resources and magni
ficent in its achievements, and the par
ty that maligns the state and dishonors
Itself is already struck with the blight
of death."
DEMOCRATS SUPPORT HIM.
The Judicial district central commit
tee, composed of Republicans and
Democrats, charged with the conduct
of the campaign against Doster, issued
a stirring address to the people, and
Judge Doster was defeated. Rut the
judge was not discouraged. He bided
his time. In the Pupullst state con
vention at Abilene in July last he was
Unanimously nominated. The state
Democratic convention, then in session
at Hutchinson, Indorsed the nomina
tion, and at the recent election he was
chosen chief justice of the supreme
court by 3.500 majority. Many of the
Democrats who joined the Republicans
in opposing his election to the district
bench in 1SS1 supported him, and some
of them were in the Democratic conven
tion that indorsed his candidacy along
with the other candidates on the state
Populist ticket.
CAPITAL AND ITS USERS.
When the recent campaign opened the
Republicans scattered broadcast the
extracts from Judge Doster's speech in
the famous judicial in his district in
1S91. He paid little attention to this
onslaught, but prosecuted his campaign
dealing with the money question, which
he declared was the paramount Issue
In this campaign. A local paper pub
lished at l.e Roy, the home of the new
Populist governor-elect, wrote Judge
Doster early In September asking him
to explain his radical declaration?,
"that the rltrht of the user of property
are paramount to the rights of the own
er." On the 3d of September he ad
dressed a letter to the local publisher
in which he said:
"To the tlrst inquiry concerning the
relative rights of users and owners of
property, I answer that I never ex
prosed 'such a view as an abstract
proposition of social right, and never

COURT.
uttered the words quoted, singly and
alone, to express any completed un
qualified thought. I did, however, use
ouch language, but in a sense and with
a meaning limited and special, and in
connection with other language which
plainly showed that It was used In a
qualified and special sense, and illus
trated my meaning by reference to in
stincts which plainly showed the limit
ed and special application made of It.
NOT CORRECTLY QUOTED.
"The quotation Is a garbled, Isolated
extract taken from a public address of
several years ago, wre.sted from Its con
text, pecverted In meaning and de
prived of the benefit of all accompany
ing explanatory language. It Is circu
lation in the partisan press In this mu
tilated form Is an ait instance of the
truth of the old proverb that a "half
truth is a whole lie." I was discussing
the claimed "mutuality" between labor
and capital, and had by process of rea
soning (Immaterial to the purposes of
this explanation and Immaterial wheth
er right or wrong) reduced the words
"labor" and "capital," In their last an
alysis, to what I deemed their equiva
lent expressions, "use" and "owner
ship" "use" by the laborer, "owner
ship" by the capitalist. I then asserted
in the user of capital a right paramount
to the owner, but in Immediate connec
tion therewith I drew a distinction be
tween kinds of capital.
"Quoting enough of the address to
show the distinction drawn, I said:
"Hefore passing from this subject let
me draw a distinction proper to be ob
served, and yet so plainly existing that
It would seem superfluous to 'call at
tention to it The distinction
I wish to draw exists between that
capital In which use and ownership
can be combined, or more accurately
speaking, in which ownership alone
that capital which for purposes of use
by himself, but for use by someone else.
RIGHTS OF LABOR.
"It Is manifest that In one of these
cases mutuality does exist between
labor and capital, or between laborer
and capitalist, because the qualities of
ownership and use are combined In one
person; In fact, the distinction between
laborer and capitalist is blotted out,
and the two are amalgamated Into one,
and the man the human being pos
sesses In such case as absolute a right
to his capital, that is, his tools or his
clothes or other articles of personal
use as he does to the limbs of his body,
because they are, like his limbs, the
Instruments with which he labors,
which he uses.
"But on the other hand, the man who
possesses a thing not for the purpose
of his own use, but for purposes of
somebody else's use, and whose interest
In It Is limited to the compensation
which he can extort from others for the
privilege of using It occupies an entire
ly different position and must bo viewed
from an entirely different standpoint."
I then Illustrated the kind of prop
erty falling within the last mentioned
class and the line of distinction be
tween it and the one first mentioned by
citing the monopolies and the quasi
public institutions, such as the trusts
and combines, the railroads, etc., claim
ing that as to such the paramount right
of the user existed not only In the na
ture of the property and purposes to
which dedicated by the owner, but the
same had been confirmed to him by
legislative enactment and decisions of
the courts.
HAS PRECEDENTS.
While not a part of the address in
question, I take the liberty In elucida
tion of the distinction I tried to draw
between the two classes of property and
in defense of the position assumed by
me to cite some eminently republican
authority.
William A. Phillips, twice Republican
congressman from the state of Kansas,
says in his book, "Labor, Land and
Law," pages 421-2, "capital is of two
kinds. The capital which is produced
for use and used by the man who owns
It, such as houses, cattle, horses, ve
hicles, furniture, machinery, etc. Then
there Is the capital a man has accumu
lated that he does not personally need
or use. Out of this he expects to make
an income from thoBe he permits to use
it. This is the kind of capital that re
quires the supervision of the public, or
it will impoverish all labor and create
an aristocracy among men.
Out of this kind of capital Chief Jus
tice Waite, of the United States
Supreme court, in his relebrated decis
ion of Munn against the people of Illi
nois (94 United States Supreme court
report), affirming the right of the legis
lature to control the charges of rail
road, warehose and other like compan
ies, said: "When, therefore, one de
votes hlB property to a use in which the
public has an Interest, he. In effect,
grants to the public an interest in that
use, and must submit to be controlled
by the public for the common good to
the extent of the interest he has thus
created."
FAVORS WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
If, therefore, when a man dedicates
his property to the use of the public he
grants to the public an interest In the
use of the same, and must submit to
public control in respect to such use,
It necessarily follows that the rights of
the public, to wit the users, are para
mount to those of the owners.
As to whether I ever said that "rent
Is robbery," or anything equivalent to
It. I answer. No. In published Fourth
of July addresses, when describing the
conditions of unrest throughout the
world, and in speaking of the various
classes of dissatisfied people, and (heir
theories and complaints., I said: "Do
you know that a million of men have
arisen who challenge the conscience of
your life and the utility of your meth
ods; who denounce your political econ
omy as a sham and a -fraud? who de
clare that money Is useless, that rent
is robbery." etc. I merely stated tue
fact that such extreme views were held
by classes of dissatisfied people with
out indorrlng in the sligntest degree the
opinions held by them. Tluse purport
ed qnotatlons are partisan libels, utter
ly bastkss so far as unytliing I ever
said or any views I ever entertained.
Judge Dorster is the recognized
champion of woman suffrage in Kan
sas. He has advocated the right of wo
men to vote In every speueh made in
the recent and former campaign!1. ie
secured a resolution favoring equal suf
frage In' the Populist state convention
In ISM, fifter one of the hottest fights
ever waged In a political convention in
this state. Now that their champion
has been elevated to the Supreme
bench the women of Kansas bellf-ve
that their complete enfranchisement Is
not fur distant.
THE MODERN WARWICK.
From tho TImes-Hernld.
Measured by the difficulties to he over
come and the results attulneil, Murk A,
Hanna has proved himself the ablest,
mott sagacious and successful political
manager of modern times. He is a burn
leader a strategist of the highest Type.
His work In connection with the Si.
Louis convention llipluyed his great re
sources us an organizer. Hut when he
assumed charge of the campaign lie wus
confronted with difficulties that would
liuve staggered a veteran manager. 1'irst
of all, he lacked experience, but this was
more than offset by rare business talents
and Indomitably energy. The solid, vouth
appeared to be ullied with the solid west,
and defeat seemed almost Inevitable, 'i lien
thefreesllver men had two years the start.
Conditions existed which had no prece
dent, and the experience of the older lead
ers wus of but little use, except in a gen
eral way. The ease was unique compli
cated and desperate, and required for Its
solution an original genius und the best
resources of a fertile and well-trained
mind. But Hanna wus fully equal to the
exigency.
Mr. Hannn's experience Illustrates the
efficacy of opportunity In developing lat
ent talents. Grant possessed to the high
est degree the essential qualities of a
great general, but his talents lay dorm int
until developed under the harsh discipline
of experience ami work. It was a case
of a gradual unfolding of one talent utter
another In logical und natural order un
der the inexorable force of necessity.
Hanna saw his duty, measured it, and
performed It. He could well exclaim with
Caesar: "Venl, vldl, viol." What Grant
was to Lincoln when the country was
threatened with disunion, Hanna was to
Me Kit) ley when the country was men.
a eed by repudiation.
After his success at St. Louis, It was In
cumbent upon Hanna, despite his inexpe
rience, to accept the chairmanship of the
Republican national committee. But he
displayed his astuteness from the very
outset. He was a clever harmonlzer, and
addressed himself when on the very
threshold to bringing the Republican
household Into close and harmonious re
lations with him and with each other. He
succeeded In accomplishing this task with
extreme tact, and the party Is a model of
unity today. He put his party Into solid,
Invincible shape and organized It with the
skill of a veteran general. In over thirty
states that I visited during the campaign
I observed that .Mr. Hanna had the most
skillfully organized anil best drilled politi
cal force the country ever witnessed. It
showed the executive genius of a master
mind. His was the Invisible hand unon
the lever that swayed u powerful and well,
drilled political army with wonderful pre
cision and with destructive effect. Trained
In the school of Koscoe Conkling in New
York, when the forces of that consummate
strategist met In battle array the cleverly
trained cohorts of Samuel J. Tilden, I am
In a position to speak by the book regard
ing Mr. Hanna's organization in the re
cent campaign. A better organization
than either Conkling or Tilden devised for
New York state, Hanna put into effective
service In the entire country. From Mr.
Hanna's success In the present campaign,
It is a wonder that ho has not had himself
nominated and elected president.
Hanna's success is due largely to his
wonderful perception of the difficulties
before him, to the clever use of the ma
terials in hand, and the right use of poten
tial energy. He struck at the rlirht time,
at the right spot, and with unerring pr-.
cision. And by his success he lias over
lapped one-hair of the comint; race four
years hence. His course was directed to
bringing the silver forces together en
masse and destroying them by a flank
movement. The free silver party pur
posed to bisect the Amerlcun dollar, but
Hanna bisected the un-American free sil
ver party. He did not conduct any ex
periments; he did not strive for the un
attainable or the doubtful. He decided
just what states he could carry, Just what
states he wanted and went to work. The
results show his wisdom. Between the
Atlantic and the Missouri river and north
of the James and Ohio rivers Mr. Hanna's
forces were Invincible. There he waged
the battle, and there he won his splendid
victory. The twenty-five states that
Hanna won show a population of 45.r00,ntH)
with a total Industrial wealth of J-17,.184,717.-S7ti;
the twenty states carried by the enemy
have a population of L'ii.uoo.OOO, with a total
wealth of HJ.t:8..JMl.S4. The Mutes won
by Hunnu show an Illiterate population
unable to read or write of 7.5 per cent.;
those carried by t'other fellow have 22
per cent, of illiterate population. So we
understand that Mr. Hanna conducted a
distinctly educational campaign among a
distinctly Intelligent people, and won upon
the merits.
The leader of the gold forces In the re
cent campaign was a phlnlng mark for the
malevolent. But we love him for th
enemies he has made. He was sadly ma
ligned the country through, orally and
plctorlally. Hut the people never' stone
poor fruit. Perhaps we should consider
the libels, slanders ami atrocious cartoons
leveled ut Mr. Hunnn as a monument to
his ability ns a political general. Cer
tainly he was the worst abused man of
any that ever essayed to manage a politi
cal campaign. One wild Texas editor
called him the "scourge of God." By his
foes he has been considered a political
bashl-bazouk; by his friends, Including all
the patriots of the country, a broad-minded,
sagacious and aggressive yet big
hearted man. And such he is. As chief
director of the sound money party,
Mr. Hnnna has presided with great digni
ty and decision over the obsequies of Bry
an, Allge'.d, Tillman, Jones and a good
many free Bllver men.
In view of his splendid services to the
country, Mr. Hanna richly earned the
gratitude of the order of Justly loving
people, and this gratitude should be ap
proximately manifested In some way. Mr.
Hanna would make an Ideal senator, and
his tine executive abilities und rare busi
ness Judgment would be invaluable in the
upper house, but especially In coniwctlon
with the revision of the tariff and the set
tlement of the money question. A good
business man, other things being equal, is
apt to make a' good senator.
DREAMS AND THEIR CAUSE.
From Bow Bells.
Physiologists appear to have adopted
the view that dreaming is only an occa
sional accompaniment to sleep. Sir Will
iam Hamilton says: "We dream alwuys,
but simply forget with tho utmost readi
ness what we know wo have dreamed."
Frequently all distinction of time and
place U lost; we convorr? with the dead,
and are transplanted thousands of miles
In a few seconds. The rapidity of cur
Ideas is one of the-tnost remarkable of the
phenomena. If dreaming is a manifesta
tion or conscious mental activity during
sleep, It Is obvious that there may be de
grees or absolution of activity In tho va.
rious states. Some may be In full pow-?r,
while others are partially suspended. It
has been said that the subject-matter of
a dream Is always compered of previous
mental experience. Persons who work
in India tuhber factories, who nro ex
posed to the inhalation of bisulphide of
carbon, suffer from fearful dreams, und
other drugs produce the same result. To
the mind of the ravage the objects and
scenes which Hit before his dreaming fancy
are r.-ul material existences: the sounds ho
seems to hear are real external sounds,
the figures which eonvi-rs with him are
real persons. When he dreams that he
goes forth to hunt, he believes that his
own second self, or soul, leaves his body
and passes forth.
Dreaming In the semi-conscious state
seems to be evidence of somnambulism :
yet in the somnambulistic dreuin, acted
as well ns thought, it is remarkable that
no recollection Is retained. Sumetimes
Ideas constituting these mighty visions i.re
coherent, complicated trains of thought.
Syneslus exalts the rank of dreaming by
affirming that he has repeatedly found
dreams of service In arranging his Ideas,
ar.d in Improving his style of composition.
Legal opinions have been given in dif
ficult questions in this way; sermons have
been composed and written, and mathe
matical problems, Ineffectually attacked
during the day, have been solved. Col
eridge composed the poem of Kubla Kahn
during a three hours' sleep, yet In most
cases there Is no apparent cohesion In the
sequence of our ideas; control of will
seems to be completely lost. There are
certain exceptional features, ns a vague
consciousness of dreaming, which as
sumes the form of u dream within a
dream. The effect of these visions is no
doi'bt forgotten entirely and those for
gotten when awake are frequently vividly
recalled during succeeding dreams. As
with Clarence, some produce an Ineradi
cable Impression of reality. Then there
are those which arise from the action of
external objects on the organs of sensa
tion. Dr. Beottle writes of a man who
could he made to dream about a subject
by whispering In his ear during sleep.
Maury had many experiments, and sought
to determine conditions simultaneous and
successive which are observable in
dreams.
Most people consider them Incoherent,
and this Is no doubt frequently the case,
yet many appear to stimulate orderly ar
rangements of objects and succos Jons of
events; the attention, instead of dominat
ing the Images which present themselves,
is itself dominated by them: at the same
time, the action of attention, though no
longer controlled by the will and directed
to some practical end, plays an Important
part In dream construction. Hippocrates,
while Inclined to admit that some may be
divine, distinctly says that others rise
from tho actions of the mind and body.
There are dreams which announce be
forehand the affections of the body, and
the - special character of many is deter
mined by the condition of the organs of
the thorax and abdomen, and the mus mi
lur system. Somehow the muscles w.iich
convey Impressions to the brain dui'ng
sleep affect consciousness, and so influ
ence dreams. It is well known that Indi
gestible food causes various forms cf
nightmare; so, also, a strained condition
of the muscular system produces tli.it
frightful sensation of falling. The Hate
of the nervous tissue of the brain und the
circulation are Important factors vhosu
Influence can hardly be separated. In an
overcongi'sted brain sound sleep Is Impos
sible, us there Is a tendency to a rapid suc
cession of vivid dreams, interrupted by
wakefulness; the brain cells become too
excited by the excess of blood to pasj into
a state of repose. If the blood is defi
cient in quantity or quality, or is poisoned
by substances which ought to be removed
from the body, or the nervous system is
exhausted by fatigue or i.verinduigence In
any form, one suffers from depressing
dreams, and it Is an imitation the
health needs attention or relaxation from
work, especially by those engeged in
professional duties. It n.uy also be ob
served that dreams have ninny curious re
semblances to the mental state of the In
sane. THE OLD, OLD QUEST.
Why are the people thronging up the
steps of the gray cathedral? Wh.it
makes them so anxious, so eager, so
Impetuous?
It Is the old, old quest; they are looking
for life eternal.
Who Is that tall cloaked figure that treads
stealthily behind them?
It Is Heath. See, they feel his presence,
and they dare not turn their heads
lest they should behold him.
II.
The procession of priests Is marching sol
emnly up the nlsle. As they pass us,
we note the hopeful faces of those
who are still young, and the stolid or
despairing looks of the old men. How
dim the lip ht Is. We can hurdlv see
that they have reached the chancel.
What arc they searching for now under
the altar and behind the bishop's
throne?
It Is tho old, old quest; they aro looking
for life eternal.
Who Is thnt tall cloaked figure that treads
stealthily behind them?
It Is Death. See, they feel his presence,
and they dare not turn their heads
lest they should behold him.
JII.
The aged man Is bending over a great
book. He is nlone In lis study and
shelf on shelf of well-worn volumes
rises behind him.
He takes up his goose quill. How fast he
writes. The floor is strewn with
sheets close written, and now again
he Is fumbling over the yellow print
. ed pages.
He cannot find the text he Is socking. I
wonder why he is thus straining his
poor, red eyes?
It Is the old, old quest; he Is looking for
life eternal.
But he Is not alone. Who Is that tall,
cloaked figure stooping over l.is
shoulder?
It Is Death. See, the aged man feels his
presence, and he dares not turn his
head lest he should behold him.

A Sister of Charity Is dying on her straw
pullet. She lovingly nursed back the
life of the stricken tramp, though she
knew that she was drinking in ;ne
poison.
Here is work for our old friend Death.
Where Is his tall, clouked figure?
Ah, he Is not there and the Sister smiles,
for she knows that he cannot enter.
How can the Sister In her agony be
happy?
Do you not understand? She holds tho
clue to the old, old quest, though she
never sought It, for she feels throb
