Because there has been no public &C.
knowledgement, In these columns, of the
numerous notes Of commentator and
words Of appreciation touching this paper,
and Its success, We would not have 1t un.
derstood that We are not grateful. Espe.
cially are We proud Of the kind words con.
tinually flowing In upon US from the people
Of this city; from its business houses, from
Its shops. and especially from its homes.
For, when all is said, the true measure OF q
newspapers merits 10 its standing in the
home,-about the breakfast table, around
the hearthstone, in the family circle. In
one single day Saturday last-fve ladies
the heads Of as many Wichita homes, with
no kind Of collision, sent us words Of con-
graduation and chser. Hardly q day
passes that we do not receive some com.
meuding word from that source. Politicians

We venture the assertion that the EAGLE

any other daily published in the state. As
to the wonder expressed by some that it

will say that its tone, character and enter.
