TIE ANIMAL, CANARn-

The Indianapolis Journal has too many
editors. 1t says edltorially, If air stirs
1t is blast from = furnace that with ers
where it touches. The sky has the look
of superheated metal. When the
night comes on it brings US Refreshments.
The sun rises red and fierce and pililess,
and another burning day begins"
In the next column it, editor cools off
with this comparison: while this part
of Indiana has had some hot weather it
has had nothing like the scorching heat
which has swept over oklahoma, Kan
as, Ns5r aska, Dakota and Iowa uring
the past week. And what is true of the
past week is equally true of previous
years-the searching and consuming
heat has not scourged Indiana"
1t Is not only the incOnsist-
ency Of these two statements,
but the odiouS and untruttful compari-
son which leads to the conclusion that
the Journal has an editor who NAV be
commended for his probity and one of
tie other kind. We take it that he con-
fesses the truth in saying the heat is
like blast from a heated furnace, but
We object to his running the mercury M
indefinitely in Kansas. Ii is the mean

Itself by pulling others down. especially
when it Is done b. pervertin- the facts.
Any citizen of Kansas knows that no
such nights were ever known in this
state, and that the "scorching heat"
of last week Is a pure invention. y {
content with this, the Journal puts on
the climax by saying these same
conditions are true Of al years.

ABOUT RAILROAD PASSES.

Bill Bolton, the Il r-itor of the Greens
burg Sign i is said to carry more passes
than any other Kansas writer.
A little road in Montana once issued
solid silver passes. One of these is in the
possession of George r Peck Of the Santa
Fe railroad.
The Rock Island is the closest road in
Kansas with annual passes. II issues a
great many thousand mile books, but very
Jew aunutls.
For good many years the railroads
have given passes to members of the Kan
sas legislaI ure. On an average about
three out of the total number have been
rel urned.
Todd, the Populist labor leader, says
that notwithstanding the fact that the
Santa Fe took his p 'ss away from him he
will not walk; that he has plenty of passes
over other roads.
Contrary to general opinion. Mrs. Lease
does not use any passes outsd. of Kansas.
She has transportation on most of the
roads in tn state. but when she goes east
she has to pay her fare.
II, after receiving pass, a man sells it
to ticket scalper, be is settled forever
with the rail- Dads. When the scaipers get
such ticket they at once notify the rail-
road and the railroa Is boycott the seller.
On the transportation in his possession,
Governor LewelIing Can travel from
Canada south 10 the City of Mexico. He has
also a Pullman Car pass and Harvey eat
ing house checks which eatitle him to free
meals along the Santa Fe route.
Ed Howe, the Atchson philosopher,
was once offered pass on q railroad run
ming out of Atchison. He returned the
pass with the explanation that when he
wanted TO go to any station along their
line he was usually il a hurry aud
walked.
Overmyer, the Democratic nominee for
governor of Kansas, says the lest way o
solve the railroad problem is for the Popu-
list state officials and their henchmen to
give up their passes and then Il reduction
in Rates would be possible" Overmyer
invariably pays bis railway fare.
State Printer Snow in speaking of the
cancellation of Todd's pass says: For the
Santa Fe road to initiate a policy of petu-
lance-to start out with the childish per-
secutiOn of taking up populist officials
passes-is simply to sow seed for crop of
malice in the railroad QUESTION, and which
can result in no good for the railroad.
On ali railroad passes there is provision
on the back of he card that the railroad
company will not be liable for damage TO
baggage or perso1. Although the one
who accepts he pass agrees to this pro-
vision it is said that in case of accident 1t
will not go through the courts, judg- s
having held that the railroads give the
pass in exchange for something

should have some regard for the ninth
THE ATE FAIR AT WICHITA.

The canterIng OF interests at the mouth
of tie Kansas river, where for several
years there has been held, annually, an
interstate exposition, has rendered the
state fair at Topeka an impossibilty so
far as any markell success is concerned
The Kansas state fair dwindled into IA
mere district or county enterprise, finally
colap-ing.
After the close of the fairs last fall
Kansas Safe Fair association was or
gained and regularly incorporated
under the laws of the state for the pur-
pose Of holding annual state fairs at
Wichita. Subsequently this association
leased the grounds and purchased the
Improvements of the Arkansas Valley
FAIR as -ociation and went industriously
to work i'll making all the necessary ar
rangemenis for a successful state fair.
At this writing there is lit lie left TO be
done except to get the enterprise and its
many advantages before the people of
this and adjoining states, which is being
done systematically and rapidly.
The fair Will open Octob T second and
continue six days.
OF course it Is unnecessary TO say 10
the people of the state that no point in
Kansas is so fayorably situated, and
well equipped for big state fair as
Wichita. Located in the center Of the
most densely populated section Of the
state, two hundred miles and more dis
tant from the Kan as City and ST. JOS
esph, Missouri, fairs, which have Grip
pied every effort to make a fair at To-
peka or at Bismark a success: being the
greatest railway center of the state; bet
ter supplied with hotel capacity, there
seems no reason why the exposition fixed
for this year should not only prove a
success. but the greatest exposition of
the character ever witnessed in the
state.
And there is another resson. South
Kansas and Oklahoma are one
in soil, in climate and in people.
The community of interest is such that
the dividing line is unknown except in
law. So a state fair at Wichita becomes
an Interstate falr IN the same sense of
those held at Kansas City. Barring
Kansas City's commercial advantage,
Wichita is more suitably and advan-
tageously located with reference to agri-
cultural and live stock interests than
Kansas City, Missouri. The interests of
the Kansas City and Wichita fairs as
Interstate enterprises will no more con-
fiict than those of St. Louis and Kansas
City.
The premium list is now in press.
The prizes are liberal and the purses
large. In some respects the list is the
most comprehensive of any ever yet
offered i'll the st3te, and there is no
doubt that the fruit, grain and live stock
exhibits will surpass all previous state
exhibitions.
