To the Editor Of The ADVOCATE.
Mr.. LewellIng wants to be governor for what
there Is In 1t for himself and It Is well to ask the
question as to who and what he Is? Kansas
perform the duties Of the Office one who Is iden-
tifed with her growth and Development and not
alTer the salary and perqulsites alone Eagle,
The man at Topeka, as governor, who
would suit the editor Of the Eagle and
the clique that controls him, must needs
be some plant, sycophantic, subservient
partisan, 80 that the Eagle could have
some "lnfuence" at court. With Lew
elling governor, the editor Of the Eagle
knows that straightforward, honest Dusi-
ness methods would prevail in the execu-
tive Office of this state; and, that being
so, he could neither presume to suggest,
dictate or threaten in reference to any ap-
pointments or policy. Whenever the
Eagle Is after anything, you may be sure
It Is prompted by Its vanity or selfish
ness. This editors vanity is his vitality;
it is all that holds him up. Such devo-
ton to conviction as actuates the editors
Of the reform press never moves such
organs as the Eagle.
Now, the fault with these fellows who
are opposing Lewelling in Wichita ls that
they know he is an honest, capable man,
and that nothing dishonorsble can be
charged against him. They know his
election will not conserve their selfish
schemes, and they hope by insinuations
and base lnneuendos to so work upon
prejudice and impulses as to compass his
defeat. Their efforts prove abortlve and
retroactive. Lewslllng Is destined to be
Kansas next governor, and as such will
fill the Office with honor and credit; and
In voting for Lewelling no one will make
any mistake. GEO. STARK MILLER.

/ see that the Capital, published in
your state, says that the Peoples party is
dead in Georgia. This, likely, is as near
the truth as that paper ever prints. The
papers here have not published even the
vote Of the "bourbon democracy" allowed
us In the count. II will never be known
just how many votes we did poll, but the
democrats have counted about 10000 up
to this time. But for bulldozing and
bribery, there is little question but what
we would have carried the state by
good majority. 1t was fight Of the pro-
ducers against the money and town rings.
Our people are not discouraged, and
we send greetings to the brethren of the
west, and say, "Meet us in the middle Of
the road" We are there and there to
stay until the victory is won.
In one short campaign we Snstched
from the party OF "rotten egg" argument
$4,000 votes. In q short while we will
have the large majority and will stand
inviDcible in our determined march in
the middle of the road"
Push the fight In the west. and our
boys will stand by your side in the
struggle. N. D. IRWIN.

country Is 70 rugged that in many cases the
gradients are 40 grSat as 40 feet per mile,
and the cost of labor and supplies more
than here, the roads are operated at less
cost, ss measured by the expense per train
mile, than in the favored regions in the
United States. The Kansas City, Ft. Scott
& Memphis railway is, admittedly, one Of
the best managed and most economically
operated railways in the west, and with the
abundance Of very cheap coal, low grad
tents and running more trains than do the
Victorian railways, should be operated
more cheaply, yet the cost Of operating this
road, as measured by the cost per train
mile-and this is the best possible criterion
Of economy in operation--is One-third
greater than on the government owned rail
ways Of Victoria.
In the United States, one of the useless
traffic associations pays its chief umpire
nearly as much as Victoria pays its entire
commission.
ALI the Australian reports and accounts,
which have come under observation Of the
writer, are models of OOnCiseness and clear
ness, and show that there is nothing inher-
emit in railway accounts rendering it
necessary that they be made obscure and
misleading.
Neither in the Australian report nor in the
colonial press is there the least evidence of
against individuals or To-
calities, and this one fact is an argument of
greater force in favor Of national ownership
than all that has ever been advanced
against il.

The worst joke that has been perpe-

was played in Chicago at the worlds fair
dedication. Bill Higgins was induced TO
wear 9 pair Of glasses in order to give
tone to the Kansas crowd. Then some
body circulated the report that the man
with the glasses was Jerry Simpson,
whereupon everybody but the Kansas
crowd began to "Hurrah for Jerry" Bill

IF Sam Wood had been murdered
in the south as he was in Kansas, it
would have been called political
murder. As it is, his murderer is as
free as the wind, and is highly re-
spected by the administration crowd
