AFFAIRS in connection with our salt
business have about reached the point
where it is necessary for our people to
bestir themselves. There is a great
deal of dissatisfaction about the lack of
push in the business, and apparently
good grounds for complaint. There:is not
the least doubt but that we have the
finest and purest quality of salt yet
found in Kansas, and there is plenty
Of capital waiting to invest in the bust
ness as soon as the right start is made.
1t might be we'll for our city council to
discuss the matter at the meeting next
Monday night. Great Bend citizens
and property owners are more interest
ed in getting the salt business developed
than any one else, and WEI, believe it
folly to depend Oh outside capital to
open up the business and lay the foun-
dation for others to work from. We
had best look at the matter squarely as
it stands, and work accordingly.

Shameful Buncombe.

After the senseless and never ending
kilograms that fill our republican daily
papers concerning Harrison and his
callers. his children and his grand
children, the next most disgusting
thing about would-be leading republic
can daily papers of such stripe as the
Hutchinson Nescs is the labOred effort
to make every trouble that occurs in
democratic state "a southern outrage"
A few days ago Hon. John M. Clayton
was assassinated by some unknown
person, near Little Rock, Ark, and
because he was engaged in collecting
evidence to assist him in contesting
the election of a democratic opponent
for seat in congress, the unfair and
narrow minded republican press is
charging that it was a democratic as
sassination, and raising the same old,
threadbare and overworked cry of
southern policy democratic shot
gun Methods" and all such cowardly
political rot. If they want peace and
harmony and honor in politics they
should cOn6ne themselves to facts
instead of using every effort to mislead
the public mind, to array the good
people of the north against the just as
good people of the south. Even the
Kansas legislature, that great aggre-
CATION of republican brag and buster,
thought itself called upon to consider a
fool resolution, introduced by Jim
Legate, censur the democratic
party for it's ''shot gun policy and ask
ing the U. S. congress to take up the
matter of the killing of Clayton
When our state law makers so far
belittle themselves as to spend their
time in such political buncombe the
people have just cause to cry out
"what, in the name of common sense,
are they there for, anyhow" Out
upon such littleness among men who
are supposed to be representative
Americans.

sinuate that the Kansas ssboom'' has
ceased, let rs point with pride to the
remarkable real estate transfer of
Monday last!
For the typo who set up our recent
county trip through Kansas" and the
proof reader who corrected t?) it, we
feel not the least resentment in the
world-because the two is just one
more than we care about ''sassing'' to
any great extent.

KANSAS will propably build another
insane asylum at an early day. From
the fact that the two we already have
are now located in the eastern part of
the state, the new one will probably be
located in some of the central OF west
ern counties. BortOn county has
proven herself worthy of consideration
when location is being looked for,
and 1T will be something for the power
full legislators we have sept to Topeka
this winter to work OH to get the pro-
posed asylum located here. If the
proper work is done we don't see why
our county should not stand good
show in the matter. A properly con-
Quoted state institution is a benefit to
any community, outside of the promi
hence given to place by the public
recognition. By all means, the new
institution should be located in Barton
county.

WONDER if the wives Of our city
councilmen raise the same objection to
their husbands attending the meetings
that the wife of the cFty clerk raises?
Our wife says that whenever we come
home from a three or four hours session
of the council our clothes have the
undesirable smell of cigar factory.
If the opinion is catching and council
men and mayor are subject to the same
criticism, the only remedy cur ladies
have is to elect few female members
of the council. That would settle the
business of long and smoky sessions.
