AtchisoH Champion:
a Salina correspondent 81 the
Kansas CITY Times makes the anus
ing statement that the'Only difficult
~ ia the way OF carrying Kansas for
she Democracy this year j. the alb
teuce or lack OF the necessary educa-
tiunal facilities, the impOssibility-
or rather the imprObAhility-of plac-
ing in the hands Of Republican vOt-
ers the State tariff reform and other
wholesome literature"
The author Of the above j. mis-
taken. The real difficulty In the
way Of carrying Kansas for Democ-
racy this year is the Intelligence and
good sense Of about 10000 Republic
cans.
One Of the wlsest, most prosper
Gus and yet most graceful citizens Of
Salina stated to us yesterday that he
believed the best investment that
could he made now was in Farm
property. In his opinion within the
next l2-mOnth the price Of farms
except close a bout Salina) will be
advanced 80 per cent. He has faith
in our prophecy that the next
boom for Kansas will be the farm
property boom. And il should be
thus. II IL only such boom tina.
can promote the greatest prosperity
for all With the EARN BOOM"
comes a corresponding boom for the
cities.
We are not inclined TO pass any
glowing compliments upon the Kate
Beusberg performance Monday Il
was certainly not up to what was ex-
pected, and those who paid q dollar
for their seats feel a little vexed,
yea sore. Bensberg herself is all there
is Of the entertainment. Take her
away and it falls fiat, yea stale. She
should have = better support. In
fact year or so ago when she APP
Peared in Salina she had q 100 per
cent. better support. Some features
Of the Beusberg voice sre very fine.
Her rendition Of Home, Sweet
home" was very expressive and
elegant.
