NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Fooled.

Marsh Murdoch is just now very busily
Scanning the state papers to see what they
have to say about his chances of getting to be
Governor of Kansas. Marsh has done much
for Kansas: but his attitude toward prohi-
bition and his open defense of the joints in
Wichita will prove an impossible barrier In
publican, -
1t is only necessary to refer to the local
columns of the Republican of the same issue
from which the above is clipped to convince
one that according to size Stafford is equally
as bad or worse than Wichita; yet no sane
man blames Brother Akers for such a state of
affairs. The Advance is not booming Murdoch
or any other man for governor, but will sup
port the Republican nominee regardless OF
whether there are or are not joints in his
town. If the cranks are going to fight Repub-
licans because they do not indorse prohibition
the sooner it is known the better.-St. John

KANSAS WHEAT IN MISSOURI.

They are having a regular monkey
and parrot time of it in Kansas City,
No., over the question of wheat inspec-
ton. The inspection and grading OF
wheat received at that point, under the
t9lissouri law, was so unsatisfactory to
producers and shippers, and consequent
| " to the dealers at that place, that the
latter determined to ignore the state IN
spector, and selected and installed local
inspectors Of their own to inspect and
, fix the grades upon wheat according 10
their own rules and regulations. State
Inspector O'Shea of st. Louis has been
in Kansas City for several days trying to
| straighten matters and feassert his pre-
negatives, but, according TO the local
newspaper statements, with Indifferent
success. He did succeed. however, In
making clear his personal feelings and
| the real animus of the Missouri inspec-
! ton law IN relation to Kansas wheat. In
speaking on this point O'Shea remarked:
'Of one thing rest assured, Kansas
wheat must submit to the Missouri fnspec-
! ton. | have force of eight competent
men at Kansas City, which will be in
creased or reduced as circumstances may
warrant, but the state inspection must and
will be preserved"
O'Shea has the state law and the power
of the state of Missouri at his back, and
of course will maintain his position.
And that the intent and purpose
of that inspection is to discrim-
mate in favor of Missouri wheat
as against the Kansas product
in particular, producers and shippers in
this state will know what to expect in
sending their grain to that point. 1t is a
well known fact that Kansas hard wheat
is preferred by millers for making high
grade flour, but if the states reputation
is to depend upon and be sustained by
alien inspection laws and agents, future
aspirations in that direction had as well
be abandoned at once and for all time.
But Kansas wheat does not have to
take such adverse chances. We have
an adequate inspection law and thor
oughly competent inspectors of our own,
and while defending our state and one
of its chief staple products by having it
passed upon and its grade fixed by our
own people and upon our own soil, we
are at the same time strengthening our
bands and advancing our own interests
by building up markets within our own
borders, the benefits of which will in
sure to the advantage of our own state
and people and not to the upbuilding
and enriching of individuals and COM
munities where it will do us not only no
good, but actual injury.
Kansas for Kansans is a mighty good
motto.

REFORM THE RULoGY,

One of the amazing Observances to
which our national lawmakers cling is
that of shooting off alleged eulogies Oh
departed congressman. The average out
burst in this line is, quite as often as not
much more of kick than a compliment
the praise being ridiculous and the com
mendation extravagant, but for some
mysterious reason the custom hangs on,
and its favorites multiply as the country
grows.
A recent manifestation in this line
prompts the Hartford Courant to say:
1--WE observe that the present house OF
representatives is foDder of poetry than
was its predecessors. Last Saturday, dur
ing the formal commemoration of the late
Hon. Leonidas Campbell Houk, OF Tennes-
see. Mr.. Enloe quoted four lines of blank
verse beginning "Tis immortality tits that
alone Mr.. Hooker quoted On the original
Latin) Horace's musings about 'Pallida
Mors.' Mr.. Cummings Amos quoted a
cOuplet, and then the quoted another coup
let. Mr. Lanham quoted eleven lines of
'Abou ben Adhem.' Mr.. Haugen quoted
seven lines including r not wholly I'M
familiar reference to The wrecks of mat
dipped into the poets twice-three lines a
dip. Mr.. Brosius drew on them TO the ex-
tent of fifteen lines. Mr.. Townsend, more
moderate, contented himself with nine.
We regret to observe that several of the
quotations. as reported to the Congress-
ional Record, are Interpretations"
The Washington Post, which is in
position to know more about the practice
as it obtains in the congress, takes up
the question and instances the occurrence
that emphasizes the point raised. The
Post says:
1t is not the least lamentable of the con-
sequences of this absurd custom that it
subjects the memory of a man like the
late Leonidas Houk TO such flippant asso-
citation. Mr.. Houk's was a strong, virile,
robust, ard forceful personality Even
his enemies respected him. That life and
character Of that heroic mold should be
concentrated in sloppy rhyme, and
furnish an opportunity for smoldering
orators to erupt in feeble smoke, is next
door to a calamity. If eulogies are to be
perpetrated as a feature of congressional
procedure, the practice now in vogue
should be amended. Let the senate or the
house, as the case may be, appoint one
person to deliver the encomium, and let
that be the end of it. As things go now
the ordinary panegyric is calculated to
mskelts object cry out from the grave.

How Howe Knows Him.

AAchA bHO atCAiSOu OlODc AA4lucpSHOCnhg
A favorite exchange with every Kansas edi-
tor IS the Wichita EAGLE, edited by Aarsh
Murdoch. This fact is indicated by the manner
IN which the Kansas papers are booming Mr..
Murdoch for the Republican nomination for
governor. We do not know whether lie has a
prospect tor nomination or not, but we believe
his popularity is deserved. We have never
seen Mr.. Murdoch, and only know him
through his paper, which gives Us very good
impression of the man. So far as we have OBJ
served, the EAGLE always tries to be fair,
which distinguishes every successful paper.
There are papers in Kansas which have abused
the same personal enemies for twenty years, to
the disgust of their readers. but the EAGLE is
never ridiculous; instead of that, it has the
reputation of being brave and just. Mr.. Muir
dock stays at home almost as steadily as sol
Miller. and as result his paper is printed on a
perfectIng press, outside OF Topeka, 1t is the
only one in the state. The EAGLE so persis-
tently and intelligeutly bOoms its locality that
we have often heard it credited with the phe-
nominal prosperity of Wichita, and most
Kansas editors have had The EAGLE thrown
up to them as an example of what paper
should do for the town in which it Is pub
lished. 1t is equally ehterprising in Kansas
affairs, and good Kansas items are oftener
credited to the Wichita EAGLE than to any
other paper. with the possible exception OF the
Topeka Capital, which has spent a good deal
of money lately in proving from official
records that the mortgage indebtedness of the
state is being steadily and rapidly paid off.
In addition to being loyal" the EAGLE is in
telligent; bright things appear in its columns
every day. and generally quoted. Judging
from newspaper comments, Mr.. Murdoch s
popularity as g candidate for governor is due
mainly TO the fact that he is believed to have a
mind of his own We have had so many
governors who have been ruled by bum poll
ticians, that candidate with mind OF his
own seems to supply long felt want. The
interests of the state occasionally differ from
the interests of the bum politicians, and Mr..
Murdock's friends seem to believe that he
could remember the rest of the state, even IN
the Topeka atmosphere. Mr.. Murdoch IS a
Republican, but he has intelligence with it;
we wish we could say as much of majority
of the leaders of the party in Kansas.

a I,oyal Wichitan.

From the Council Grove Republican.
We received pleasant call this week from
our former townsman F. l.. Richter, who Is
now resident of the windy city at the mouth
of the Little Arkansas. Fred probably takes
more interest in Kansas politics than any other
man in the state who has never held office or
is not seeking an office. Just now he Is an
enthusiastic champion of Hon. VI. NJ. Muir
docks candidacy for governor, and before he
left there was quite little boom for Murdoch
in process OF incubation which could be per-
ceptibly noticed. Mr.. Richter comes from a
family of workers, and Mr.. Murdoch can con-
graduate himself in having one OF the most
effective and persistent campaign workers IN
the state, whose extensive acquaintance IN
nearly every section is bound to bring good
results, as Freds man generally gets there,
whether he is running for roadoverseer or gov
ernor. Mr.. w. E. Bolton of Greensburg was
also caller at the Republican office on Mon
day and he said the entire Southwest is for
Marsh Murdoch for governor. and all the in
dications throughout the state point to his
successful candidacy for chief executive Of the
state.

Certainly Accordingly.

From the Kansas City Times.
If the editors could make their clamor effec-
tive the outlook for Marsh Murdoch would
be very bright. The Republican press Is treat
ing him kindly, including papers which prefer
some other candidate. But the press is very
quick to take hints from the larger fish who
make States for keeps. Judging from the
papers the southwest is solid for Murdoch.

alike he has always been loyal Kansan,

brethren. If faithful service counts for any

sas should be given TO him.
Besides this he combines more elements of
