TALKING SENSIBLE

we won't accuse the editors of the
Record and Globe quoted below of
downright plagiarism, bat they have
both expressed the same thoughts
and conclusions touching Governor
Martins reelection that were set out
with clearness and exactness by the
EAGLE on two or three occasions since
the guberuatorial boom struck the
Nile of Kansas. Ii is unnecessary TO
saw that we endorse all that these pa
pers say of and claim fer Governor
Martin:
Marsh Murdoch, of the Wichita
EAGLE, is being doomed for governor
by a number of papers in southwest
ern Kansas. Ii shows that Marsh has
firm hold on that section, and we
are glad il is so. But the popular
voice of the Kansas. people has already
pronounced the verdict that John A.
Martin must be re-nominated and
elected. In two years the southwest
can take the governorship, but this
year let the boys come TO the front and
give the gallant Colonel such an enor-
NOUS majority as to make the oppo-
sition sick.-Fall River Echo.
A great many papers of the state
are endeavoring to work up boom
for NJ. NJ. Murdoch of the Wichita
EAGLE for governor OF the state this
fall. and their remarks are regularly
published by the great Screamer Of
the southwest. We do not believe
Mr.. Murdoch publishes these squibs
for any purpose other than an adver-
tisemeut for his paper. The Globe
considers that gentleman TO be alto
gether too smart TO endeavor or OK
pect revival in John Martins case
of the Geo. L. Anthony business. 1t
has become the unwritteu law of
the Republican party of Kansas
to give the occupant of the guber-
Material chair two terms. and a
violation OF this rule in An,hoay's
case gave US four years of j. L. st.
John and two wears of Click and De-
mocracy. a sufficient punishment; in
the opinion Of the Globe. This is not
ip--paed To establish in any way
comparison between Murdoch. an hon
est. upright Republican. and that con-
temptible ofiscouring st. John, but
only 10 emphasize our opinion as to
what John Martin is entitled 10. The

An Unbiased Opinion as to the Future
of Wichita

From the Harper Graphic.
The three w towns on the east of us
are just now engaged in a holly con-
tested living match, the representatives
of each town declaring they could bury
both the others in their back yards
and never know there was anything
there if the smell could be subdued.
There is no question but Harper is Il
better town than any of them, but
they are so pulled up they will not
acknowledge it.-Harper Graphic.
Please give us your opinion touch
ing the relative present and coming
Importance of the three WIS. We
would like such an opinion as you
would be willing to go on the records
for future observation-disclosures.
If we speak candidly and without
banter and levity, of course. there can
be no question as to where the palm
must be given. Wichita is now and
always will be pre-eminently the queen
of all south Kansas cities. There can
no city in this part of Kansas hope 10
approach her and all realize this, no
matter what may be their banter or
boast. Winfield is beautiful city, a
splendid young growing and prosper
Gus city. Wellington is the capita. OF
a wealthy and enterprising Kingdom,
and is full of enterprise, very model
of western FL Dorados, equaled by
few and surpassed by none with the
same advantages. We can say so
much truthfully about two OF the VS..
Now as TO the other: With her
population increasing from three
10 four thousand every year, with
every modern advantage and improve
ment, with wholesa houses building
every day, and the business of the
city doubling each year, with six rail
roads already built and several more
waiting a chance to go in, with her
corporate limits extended four miles
in every direction from the center
and every block and lot in that vas,
area rapidly being peopled-we can
not tell, we can not think what may
be her future. 1t is glorious and
grand we know. but more we can not
venture to predict. But when any
other city of southern Kansas speaks
o. eclipsing Wichita, the remark is
meant for joke. No one would be
willing TO have the public believe that
he was so lacking in judgment rs to
make an assertion of that Kind IN
earnest

MAKING A NEW TERRITORY.

Some time ago Mr.. Burnes, of Mis-
souri,, introduced bill TO transform a
stretch of country lying between Kan
sas and Texas into the territory of
Cimarron. This has been designated
upon the maps as "The public land
STRIP" and has been known along the
border as mo Mans Land" 1t has
no government except such as the
squa,ters upon il have chosen TO ex-
iemporize, as occasion seemed 10 de-
mand. Ii has not been open to settle
ment under any laws and the condi-
ton of society there has been OF
primitive quality. The small size OF
the public land strip has been
in the way of its recognition as a
territory, especially when taken into
comparison with such bodies as Texas
and Kansas. The time seems to be
near. however. when something must
be done with this country. Besides
Mr. Burnes' there is pending propo-
sition TO annex the strip to Kansas.
Mr. Hale, of Missouri, this week pro-
posed another solution. The slip con-
iains $500. 400 acres. Ii was purchased
from Texas at a time when that state
had more domain than she could see
any use for. The United States wanted
il to carry out an early agreement
with the Indians, by which the tribes
placed on reservations were to have a
runaway or outlet TO reach the buffalo
country when they wanted TO 60
hunting. Mr.. Hale's proposition, pre-
sented in the form of joint resolu-
ton. is to enter into negotiations with
Texas to sell and cede enough of the
Panhandle to make with NO Mans
Land body large enough for a
respectable territory. 1t is proposed
TO take, Texas being willing, the part
of the Panhandle lying above the
Canadian river. This would add
6 .029. 200 acres TO the strip. and the ter
ritorv of Cimarron would be at least
big enough TO contain lis name spelled
out on the maps.

DECORATIONS AND TITLES.
Something About tho Trade in Foreign
titles.
st. James Gazette.


The trade in foreign titles aud decora-
tions, of which we gave some account a
few months ago, Is extending. An enter
prlsing gentleman at Kensington has been
plying the well-to-do residents of Vienna
with a circular Offering stars, crosses
and titles on the installment system-so
much week and no payment down
To show that, although these very
favorable terms are offered ''the
firm" is not new one, the circular states
that it has been in existence for twelve
years, and that IL counts large number
of customers in Germany and Austria.
The list issued by the gentleman who
calls himself sour FIRM includes sixteen
decorations, and the prices, compared
with those Of some other dealers in these
wares, are a trifie high, which may ac-
count for "the firms" willingness to ac-
cept payment by installments
The papal decorations are the cheapest;
the orders of Christ (Which dates from
l3lD, st. Gregory, the Holy sepulcher
and st. Sylvester being offered for
fl25 each. But for the Servian
Order of Takova, which was created
by King Milan so recently as 1873,
ESQ is asked. The Austrian orders
are the dearest on the list. Even a
knights cross OF the iron crown, which
dates only from 1906, costs $4,000. A be-
wildering variety OF titles of nobility are
offered at prices ranging from 1900 for a
barony to $4,000 for dukedom.

is much exercised over a religious debate
now going on. This debate was announced
several weeks ago In the columns of THE
GAZETTE, and such Importance has been
attached TO it that our public school has
been closed for the week, the school
building affording more room than any
other building about town. The debat-
ers are r. S. Dalton of Henderson, Tenn,
and T. II. Burnett of Grayson county,
Texas. The first is minister of the
Primitive Baptist church, and the second
minister Of the Christian church. Mr..
Dalton is man OF the finest personal APP
pearance, not yet old enough for spec
tacles, and all admit that he is natural
orator, to which is added high degree Of
culture in a literary sense. Mr.. Burnett
Is tall, slender, and has the disadvantage
of being a little hard Of hearing,
but is fully the match for the other
in point of education. The moder-
ators of the debate are Rev. Neal
Little, Primitive Baptist of Kentucky
Rev. G.. w. Wilmith Of Dallas, Christian
minister and Rev. j. c. CASTOR of the
Presbyterian church. Mr., CASTOR lives
here, is venerable in age and much loved
by all Christian people who know him on
account of his piety and great love for the
cause of religion. The debate began al
lOa. m, Monday, and is to last four
days, holding u two-hours' session
each morning, evening and at night,
making altogether twenty-four hours OF
actual work, and giving each man a
chance to make twenty-lour speeches OF
thirty minutes each. Notwithstanding
the fact that the weather Is inclement,
sleet being on the ground, the house is
crowded at every session, and even all
the standing room is utilized. Wagons
and teams are nearly as thick about the
premises as il 1t were August, and
a regular, good, old-fashloned Methodist
camp-meeting Is now in progress. Besides
those from the surrounding country, Wis
