There is one thing we cannot properly
understand. How is it that the pop
papers around here, pretending to be
purer and hOlier than others, can lie
with such unwavering regularity.
The editor of the Wa-Keeney Omni-
jack was in the city this morning and
visited the various points of interest,
including the newspaper Offices and the
Union Pacific Jack. Mr.. McCOllum
came down to correct the impression
that Hays man was the author of a
beautiful poem recently consecrated to
the editor of the Sentinel. He says he
wrote it himself, and in view of the
matter in which he once connected the
name of his nearest relative with GER
tain Trego county candidate, we are in
clined to believe him.

-''It is an i'll wind that blows
nobody good" The hard times in the
East, caused by the shutting down of
manufactures, will cause many to seek
for homes in agricultural regions, and
Kansas will get its full share. Another

forget that we have had hard times.

Perhaps never in the history
modern journalism has any newspaper
gained so rapidly in public favor as the
Chicago Inter Ocean. Within the past
two years it has, by adopting progressive
methods and injecting push and enter
prise IN all its departments forced itself
into the very front rank of great Chica-
go newspapers. That this popularity is
deserved is beyond question. The pub
Usher during this time, Mr.. H. HI.
Kohlsaat, has spared neither expense
nor effort to attain his ideal-and he
has succeeded. Uncompromisingly Re-
publican on all national issues, The In
ter Ocean does battle for what it believes
to be the true faith in manner that at
once commands the attention and re-
spect of all. 1t can be recommended to
