WHIRLS WITH WICHITA.
The man who harps on prohibition
And never takes smile,
Shall be doomed 10 be
Where there's no hop tea,
On some lonely desert isle;
And howlers after resubmission
Who never get their I'LL
Shall be sent by law
To Wichita
To be cured by Tiger Bill
kansas Mail and Breeze.

shake the sultan up.
Lyons Republican,: The Wichita Eagle
publishes the greatest editorial page of
any daily paper in Kansas.

got something in the Wichita coal hole.
1t was the drill, which broke of and stuck
fast.
Lawrence Journal: Is Mrs. Lease go
ing into the church in order to more sue
| cessfully carry on the work of raising the
abode of Satan?
Winfield Tribune: Tiger Bill was dis
charged by the court at Wichita The
judge said he was not guilty. but warned
| him to not do it again.
Topeka Press: It is safe to bet that
the church of which Rev. Mary E. Lease
IS the pastor will not need any deacons
or trustees or standing committees.
Ieavenworth Times: The Leavenworth
| Times would nominate Marsh Murdoch
| for governor of Kansas. And we believe
this county would send a solid delegat ion
to support him.
Cheney Sentinel: Wichita runs s1,243.7 Is
behind in her accounts toward paying her
fire department and metropolitan police.
We would infer from this that her people
have been drinking too much hydran;
water.
Clay Center Dispatch: Tiger BilP'
| Campbell of Wichita, mas discovered, as
| many have discovered before him, that
acting upon the advice OF our redeemer
attorney general is a risky and sometimes
costly business.
Winfield Tribune: The Wichita Eagle
says that Pat Rohrbaugh Of that city
rides a female bicycle" The young man

have his eyes peeled TO discover the sex

Winfield Tribune: The Topeka Capital
| has no objection to the Wichita Eagle

Governor Morrill, to the best of their abil-
! ity but when the assertion is made that

anced mind, it rises to protest.
Lawrence Journal: The Wichita metro
| politan police cost the city about 81 300
during the month of January, while the
revenues derived by them amounted 70
| $7S. The metropolitan police law comes
high, but Wichita feels that il would be
an injustice TO its own people to try 10
| get along without Il.
Lyons Republican: The Wichita Eagle
gets right up into the Mckinley band
wagon last Sunday and gives Mckinley

! johnson becomes too bitter.
Leavenworth Times: Governor Morrill,
has bungled frghtfully in his attemp; 10
enforce the proh-bitory law. At Wichita

| And al the end of all the strife and trouble
| he failed 10 enforce the law.

days to His service. Her life was spared,
and she now announces that she intends

! wolves who are in the church" Know
/ ing Mrs. Lease as well as Kansans do,
| they will be surprised If the Lord doesn't
| get sorry about His bargain before Mrs.
| Lease has been preaching month.
Atchison Globe: Even the doughty Col
onel Lease got scared when she thought
she was on her death bed. She made a
vow that If she recovered she would con-
| secrate her life TO the church, and Will
begin the fulfllment Of It by preaching in
a Wichita church next Sunday. Parson
Lease will devote her talents particularly
to skinning church wolves, Having failed

in the world that Mrs. Lease should be-
come g preacher. John p. 81. John Will
finally land in the pulpit.
Kansas Mail and Breeze: The whisky
crowd a Wichita had better lay down or
there won't be enough left Of their town
TO start a county-seat fight over. II
seems almost beyond belief that intelli-
gent citizens viii destroy the prospects
Of their town by fighting 20 protect a lot
OF fellows who want 20 run gin mills.
/ The people Of Kansas are behind the fight
I against joints in Wichita but the thick
heads down there don't seem 70 realize il.
II Wichita simply wanted 20 Wink al the
prohibitory Law people outside would con-
sider Il not so much OF their business. bu,
when a town comes squarely out and az
firms the right 20 diso5sy the constitution,
the integrity OF our state government is
placed II serious jeopardy. L may Dc
possible the people OF Wichita have alb
sorbed so much beer they can; under
stand this distinction. but there Is 10
question OF The balance OF the state under
standing il
