Clay Center Dispatch: Since Geo.
r. Peck declined the senatorship he
IL universally called ex-senator
Peck.
Abilene Reflector: Kansas manu-.
featured ls,OO,0oo cigars last year
and the cabbage crop was not larger
than usual either.
Lawrence Journal: Editors may
still ride on passes. The interstate
commission does not class them a.
''influential in political affairs or
holding high social positions.
Lawrence Record: 1t IL q sign Of
the right kind Of economy for the
manufacture of corn cob pipes to te
increasing 30 rapidly. The man who
hedges financially on cob pipes in.
stead OF taking to cigarettes IL not
without hope.
Ksneas City Gazette: When Q
man strikes fame just put 1t down
that he once lived in Kansas. DR..
Graves, who has been convicted OF
murder In Denver, lived for q short
time In the early seventies In Che
yenne county, Kansas.
Minneapolis Messenger: There
is some criticism of the action Of the
governor in appointing Senator Per-
kins. He would have been criticised
IL he had appointed anybody else.
Among Kansas Republicans 1t 10 q
popularity to fight their party as
socistes more than anybody else.
JetInore Sunfower: An exchange
says IL was q noticeable fact that no
Larned man was mentioned during
the scramble for senatorial honors.
1t Is another noticeable fact that
most all of Larned's eligible sons
have been provided for, which pro-
baby accounts for her silence in the
senatorial contest.
Clay Center Dispatch: The To-
peks Capital did not help either it.
self or its party when IL reprinted
with apparent endorsement the
abusive attacks upon Gov. Hum
phrey by the opposition press, for
his appointment of Senator Perkins !;
and the scurrilous screed INDUCED
In by certain prominent citizens"
through these same columns did not
help matters any.
Beloit Courier: About a year ago
the Alliance boys would gather In
punches Of six to dozen, talk loud,
with their heads away up as II over
checked, white vigorously and
make big chips and shavings. Do
you observe them now, as one or
two gather themselves together, talk
low, hats down over their eyes, aud
methodically white the finest bit of
shavings? II you haven't, take no.
tice and see 10 we have sized them
up about right. The fact Is they
have passed the suffering point
and are now gravely thinking IL
they have gone the right way in
politics.
Troy Chief: We learn, from edi-
torials, interviews, communications,
and newspaper extracts published in
the Topeka Capital, that there is
universal discomfort throughout the
State because Major Hudson was not
appointed United States Senator.
The Major is q clever man, and we
all like him, and are pleased to see
him get an occasional good thing;
but really, mis- Senatorial candidacy
looked like q farce. We cannot
think Of single reason why he should
have been appointed. We would
as soon have thought Of putting i'm
for it ourself. Has he a qualifica-
entitled him to it? His whole life
ernor Crawford's experiment In that
regard should answer for lifetime.
We know 1t is said by those who
wish to flatter the Major, aud to see
their remarks quoted in the Capital
as public opinion, that he fought
the battle and redeemed the State
to the Republicans, last fall. The
Major copies these assertions "a IL
they were matters Of historical fact
needing no comment. We want to
enter q gentle kick here, on behalf
Of the one-horse country press all
over the State, each one OF which
did as much, in proportion to Its cir
culation, as the Capital, in securing
Republican success. The Republican
local workers and club-organizers in
all the counties did more i'm their
several counties than the Capital in
winning q victory. An army Of able
speakers, who put in their time
stamping every portion ofthe State,
are entitled to q large share of the
credit. Major Hudson deserves q
big credit mark, but he Is not enti-
tied to II all by long way.
We have some private money to
loan on good security six months to
one years time.
