SLICK sLArs AND SLIM SLAMS

and whisky.

Aichison Globe: When We die. we hope
| TO so TO Leavenworth or Wichita. and
| we have no doubt that all the bad Atchi-
\ son people who die will turn UP in To-
peka.
Springfield Cao.> Democrat: The editor

onslaught on corsets- But great many
women don't care how men feel abou,

about the pruriency OF the Peerless Prin-
cess.
Emporia Republican,: The Eagle inti-
mates that John r. Gentry. the famous
race horse, was driven out OF Wichita
by prohibition But no Wichita man will
ever admit that prohibition makes the
mare SO.
Emporia Republican: The Eagle says
that Wichita is perfectly willing TO leave
1t 10 John ". Foster whether the state
capital shall be removed further west or
not. But is Wichita able and willing 20
pay Chinese prices for Mr. Fosters ser
vices?
Minneapolis Messenger: The Wichita
Eagle complains because the prohibition
towns of Kansas furnish the most OF the
Sunday excursions 10 Kansas City There
is nothing strange about that. What does
the Eagle suppose people go 10 Kansas
City for?
Clark County Clipper: Morrill, don't
own property in Wichita: but he does
own property in Leavenworth. Saloons
don't run in Wichita; they do run in
Leavenworth. Therefore the LewellinS
administration was corrupt, and lewell-
ing "todied'' 10 the whisky element.
Clark County Clipper: We visited Wich-
tia last week. and TWO of the most notice
able characteristics Of the Peerless just az
this time. are the paucity OF purchasers
and the superfiuity OF three-cornered
chunks of profanity emenating from fell
lows with swelled tongues because or

troversy as to whether IL was $4,000 or
$4,000 was offered TO Marsh Murdoch II
he would move himself and hts Eagle 10
Texas. But which ever IL was. he will
not go. He knows that half that makes
life worth in Kansas would so should the
Eagle depart
Fredonia Citizen. Attorney General
Dawes has been down 10 Wichita a time
or two. but does not seem 20 realize that IL
is only about forty miles further 10 Pitch
erville where lives the offending surgeon
of the Institute for Imbecile Youth. who,
during the campaign, he pledged himself
TO prosecute.
Lawrence Journal: Atchison and
Wichita are still crying and bawling
around because their saloons were closed
Leavenworth is going right on attending
TO her own business and selling all the
whisky the people want. Leavenworth ~
a wicked town. a very wicked town, but
she knows how to saw wood.
Leavenworth Times: The Wichita bat
tie is thickening The best people in the
city are crowding 20 the courts 10 fur

talking to correspondents.
Kansas City Gazette: Marsh Murdoch
has finally settled upon Empor1a as the
proper location for the state capital when

open every saloon on the other side OF
the line.
