THE WONDERS OF TWO NEWS
PAPER MEN.

The Wichita EAGLE has been growing
because of the limited quantity of news sent
out by the associated press of Topeka, and
claims that il is the center of politics, gov
ernmen; and railway business, there ought
TO be good deal. This reminds us that the
first remark made by Captain Rockwell, a
prominent business man of Junction CITY.
upon returning from three weeks visit TO
New York. was 10 the effect that il was use
less to buy New York paper with the ex-
pectation of finding any news in il from
Kansas. He wonders why.-.Iunction City
Tnion.
SO do we.--Wichita EAGLE.
Well, we have noticed that fact, too, but
don't wonder ut it, for we don't know of any
law that will compel New York City paper
To publish news from Kansas unless il wants
20. Those papers do not want to publish
the ordinary news from Kansas news centres,
which Kansas papers publish. The general
agent Of the associated press at st. Louis
makes up their western news report, and we
presume he follows his instructions. The
only thing that is wonderful about the
matter that newspaper men like Martin and
Asto political news being sent from Topeka,
all is sent that is news. The Associated
Press is not vehicle to transmit the opin-
ion of anybody on political issues, and if it
should be used for that purpose ora similar
one it would soon fall from its high posi-
ton ainongthe people for reliability, fairness
and good judgment. And right here-bc-
cause there is no doubt that some whooping
Democrat will yell out, "Why is the Asso-
ciated Press used to tell all about Blaine's
movements, if what you say is true."-
Cleveland could get down from
his uncomfortably dignifed position and
leave the duties of his Office, which have
been wonderfully oppressive since he came
on. Of the woods, that every breath he drew
would be duly recorded. You needn't
spring that "chesnut' AS reply TO our
statement There are doubtless many po-
liticsl items which could be forwarded from
Topeka that would please the editors Of the
papers in the association, and perhaps a
good many of their readers, but if they con-
sist matters that cannot be properly classed
ms news. they do not belong in the associ-
ated press report. As far as other news is
concerned, il is fac, that for number of
wears more news has been sent from Topeka
than from ali other points in Kansas put to-
gether-C Commonwealth.

DEMOCRATIC ASSESSMENTS.

The Journal of this city has been crying
long and loud against the vicious and debas.
ing practice which they say is adopted by
the Republicans, in every campaign, of levy
ing assessments on Republican officeholders
Now it transpires that the Democratic state
central committee has issued q circular to al
of Governor Clicks appointees, in which
they have been assessed stipulated amount,
which varies from two to ten cents. Per-
haps il isn't wrong for Democratic central
committees TO do what would be very wicked
of Republican campaign organizations, but
can the Journal prove that it is not. By
the way, the favored gentlemen are cut up
about the matter and several of them refuse
to pay. We think the amount that will be
collected will not swell the campaign fund
greatly. -Commonwealth.
When the pure Democracy of Kansas re-
sort to campaign assessment during the first
Democratic gubernatorial term, what
would not the national Democracy do in
that way if they could obtain control Of
100000 governmental Offices The way to
reform is not through the Democratic party.
-Emporia Republican.
We hope that the member of the regents
Of the state university, our patriotic neigh
Dor on the other side of the street, will
cheerfully and promptly respond to the
piercing necessity of his chief, who has the
power TO make and unmake COW doctors
and regents at will.

THE MAINE ELECTION.
ST. John and Prohibition.

Chicago Tribune, of September 10th.
In the course of his speech mt Music Hall,
st. John, said:
In answer to the Oft repeated assertion
that prohibition does not prohibit, he would
refer to the progress of the movement in
Maine during more than twenty years past.
At the election held in that state recently
the prohibition amendment received $4,000
majority-35,O 900 more than the majority re-
ceived by the Republican state ticket.
If st. John was not Indifferent to the truth
he would be more accurate in his assertions.
Compulsory teetotalism was adopted in
Maine in l85l-thirty years sgo-and
the internal revenue reports show that there
are rs many places in Maine where
liquor is sold on the sly as in
West Virginia, state Of about the
same population, and in which whisky is
vended publicly. This fact has been
brought to st. Johns attention often enough
for him to know it by this time. He can get
Portland, Me-, as in Topeka, Leavenwcrth,
Dubuque or Davenport, but in the rural dis
tricts, where everybody is u voluntary alb
stainers, the saloon business is poor. St.
John states positive untruth when he says
that the prohibition amendment received
$4,000 majority-35,O00 more than the ma
jority received by the Republican state tick
Ell. As matter at fact it received no major
ity, rs the figures show-viz:
Total votes cast. .143, Alb
Votes for prohibition amendments. 64,507
Votes east for prohibition. 1906
OF this number 20,2224 voted directly
against the amendment; the other 58,7S2
negatives declined to vote. The majority
against prohibition, as it would be counted
in some states, was 1899, instead Of $4,000
for it, as st. John falsely stated in the pres
ence of 1900 people. In some states it re-
quires a majority of the whole vote cast at
an election to add an amendment Of any
kind TO "A state constitution, and under this
general rule it would be necessary for the
Maine prohibition proposition to have re-
ceived 71,702 votes 10 be adopted; but as it
only obtained G4,507 votes out Of l43,4l3
cast, it shows that large majority of the
voters of Maine declined to vote to put a
prohbitory amendment in their state con-
stitution.

On Monday the 18th inst, an election was
held in Dixon Springdale and Conway
townships to decide the question of bonds
for the Fort Scott & Wichita railroad An

This decides the future of Argonia. Men

CORRECT.

II. !. Bonebrake, secretary of the Repub-
lican state central committee, calls our at
ventions to nominate Republican candidates
for the legislature from Sedgwick county,
the numbers of the districts were wrong.
The matter was noticed and the ticket is cor
rect. Besides in the action of the conven-
tons, which are not legally binding, the
proper numbers were announced. As it is
Mr.. Hatfield will be elected to represent the
Eighty-Ninih district and Mr.. Lawrence will
be elected TO represent the Ninetieth dis
trict. That Republicans will SO vote we
have not the least doubt.

GORGEOUS LIAR.

John p. St John is back to Kansas and
diligently seeking some man to run for gov
ernor on his prohibition ticket. He says il
must be done 10 that something Of cam
paign may be worked up for his electoral
ticket else all the world will spurn him as a
gorgeous liar for he has said everywhere that
Kansas at least was with him. The truth is,
and st. John knows it, he will not come
within thousand miles of getting an cleo
toral vote in Kansas. He is the meanest
mugwump of them all. He defeated the
Republicans in this state two years ago, a
thing that was thought impossible, simply
by being the candidate. No decent, self
respecting Republican should be caught
even talking to the traitor.
