Evening JOURNAL
1t is a little singular that the JOURNALS
"gOOd fight" has never been discovered
by anybody except the JOURNAL editor.
The JOURNAL would enlighten the public
by stating which party It's -gQOd fight
was for; which reminds US. by the way,
that the only bet IN the campaign that
found no takers was the offer of
Topeka business man 10 bet 500 to s.
that "as the state goes, 50 goes the STATE
JOURNAL=Capital.
We are sorry the Capitals spite be-
cause the JOURNAL has twice to three
times the Capitals circulation in Topeka,
and larger circulation than the Capital
in the state, should lead 1t into saying
such ill-natured things. The JOURNAL
is the only paper that all the people, re-
gardless Of politics can trust to te a the
truth. The JOURNAL never wants office
and 1t isn't influenced by money, even to
underhandedly support such unfit persons
as DIR. McCasey. The JOURNAL exposed
more misd0ings Of the Populists than the
Capital all through the campaign, not
from partisan reasons but because the
public had a right to know how they
were misgoverned We expected no
money reward and will get none. Other
papers may expect $4,000 plums for
what they do. but the JOURNAL asks
nothing but public appreciation which its
constantly swelling subscription lists
show It is getting. Old-fashioned pO-
ltical "organs" are getting out Of date,
but they shouldn't lose their tempers be-
cause they are.
In regard to the discovery business,
nobody expects much from the Capital
The people and the public discover the
effects of the JOURNALS "good fights
and that's enough for US. It might be
noted that the JOUREAL made a single
handed good fight" in Topeka against
DR.. McCasey and that every daily paper
ia the city, Including the immaculate
Capital permitted its columns to be used to
sustain McCasey in bis position. Even
on last Sunday the great and good morn
ing contemporary declared there was
nothing found ia the charges against
the superintendent and shouted ia bold
dark head lines "McCasey VIII Stay"
The JOURNAL said last night, ia black
type "McCasey Goes" Has the Capital
discovered this good fight YET Every
body else has. Poor Capital as a dis
coverer you are indeed not a success.
The Capital. since Associate Justice
Johnston sustained the JOURNALS good
fight on railroad passes. at last sees
another JOURNAL discovery" is now
wheeling into line and thinks there
fought TO be something done. and says
Judge Johnston has set good example.
How the Capital does catch onto the
rear of the train
The Capital this morning devotes two
of its columns. signed by Dr.. Dykes to be
sure, to the defense Of the scandalous
raid on the $4,000 cholera fund.
Whatever the Capital may believe,
the public and people have discovered
the JOURNALS good fight" IN exposing
this defenseless raid on the treasury, and
if the courts do not enjoin Secretary
Dykes attempt to get the $1,000 still il
that fund, it will then be in order for the
people to hang their heads and tile Cap
ital to again crow and say nobody "dis-
covers the JoURNAL's "good fights"
The state and city have generally gone
as the STATE JOURNAL went except
when the Populists elected Lewelling.
