Florence Bulletin: AS the COM
mencement season in Kansas is about
over, we wish to remark that we have
paid some attention to the subjects
of the graduates in different parts OF
the State who delivered orations.
Prominent among the themes is how
the government should be run, how
humanity can be improved, the bene-
fit one planetary body receives from
another, etc. We are a little sur
prised and disappointed that the
scholars should select such topics.
Nearly every one knows how to run
the government, and look after the
other trivial things of that kind. We
should like to have heard or read an
grafton how to run a grocery store
successfully or how cow or horse
should be cared for to be the most
profitable. While all the people know
everything about the first named SUBJ
iects, very few know anything about
the others. A grocery store, a railroad
section or any other place that has
for it's chief object the production OF
bread and butter and q little clothing
is always difficult one. And only a
few can learn how to take care OF it
well.

AS estimated, 1000 Kansans at
tended the st. Louis convention, and,
as far as known, all got into the con-
yention OF course, there were only
little over 90 tickets, but somehow
all the Kansans got into the conven-
lions 1t might be difficult to explain
how all got in, but they got in just
the same, and all were highly elated
over the situation. The game worked
was something like shooting the
chutes."
