sas, that no honest man can indorse IL
| Pratt Republican: If Uncle Cyrus" or
Bro. Breidenthal have anything 10 do with
the Methodist convention at Wichita this
| week, the Republican would Ike to ask
for the return Of Rev. Burns to the Pratt
| flock for another year. He has built a
| new church here, edited a religious column
each week and IS a genuine Kansas hust-
| Ter. That's the kind OF people we want
in Pratt and any change will cause more
fuss than anything that has occurred al
| Wichita for many day.
Atchison Globe: Occasionally the Wich-
| tia, Atchison and Leavenworth papers are
referred 10 as saloon organs II is only
| another evidence that Prohibitionists are
| utterly unreliable. for there is not ''sa-
loon organ in either Atchison, Leayen-
worth or Wichita. Within a few months
| two Kansas papers have been accused OF
| trying TO make an arrangement with the
| breweries and distilIeries, but both OF
them were Topeka papers.
Lawrence Journal: The charge against
Marsh Murdoch that he left town in order
to escape being given a charge by the
Methodist conference now in session in
| Wichita is a base SANDER. Murdoch is
not the man TO run from a duty of that
kind. No one knows better than the gen.
tleman himself that he would be bright
and shining light in the church. and if the
call comes, he will be the last to close his
ears TO il.
Kansas Chief: The Topeka Capital. in
its article denouncing the governor for the
Wichita changes, says that Tiger Bill and
his police board had secured many con-
victions, and closed many saloons There
seems to be a disagreement between the
Capital and the Tiger. for he gave, as a
reason for resigning, that he had not been
able TO secure single conviction, from a
lack Of public sentiment in that direction
Kingman Leader-Courier: During Zig
er Bills" days at Wichita and when the
so-called temperance board held sway,
there were forty-one joints in the town.
Now there are twenty-eight or less and
-stiu a few pretended Prohib.tionists claim
that the change is a surrender to the
whisky element. A few more such sur
renders and the joint business in Wichita
would be entirely wiped out
Topeka Journal: Those who believe
parts are referred TO the relation existing
between Wichita and the state of Kansas.
Hutchinson News: The war disease
breaks out in some new spot nearly every
day. First it was Armenia, then Venez-
uela, then Wichita, then Egypt. and now
it is Kansas City.
Topeka Mail and Breeze: How would
it do to I'LL that vacant police commission
ership at Wichita with the president of
the Mystic Brotherhood? With the sec
rotary as chief OF police and the presi-
dent as member of the board, success of
enforcing prohibition ought to become
something spectacular.
Kansas City Journal: Governor Morrill,
shows that instead of turning Wichita
over to jointists and disreputable char
acters he is really taking the town out
of the hands of such people. And he is
doing it without piling up court costs or
otherwise unduly burdening the taxpay-
ers.
Lawrence Journal:. Three new battle
ships are to be built by the government !
There would have been four, only the
Kansas congressman announced that the
Wichita rebellion had been quelled. and !
there was no need to send ship up the |
Arkansaw TO put it down.
Kansas City Times: The new Wichita |
police commissioners found Chinese !
opium joint and two gambling dens in
operation. They had been overlooked in /
the attempt to prevent the sale of a few |
glasses Of beer.
Topeka Journal: Marsh Murdoch should /
be content with the victory he has won
over the state of Kansas without brag-
ging about it. A man should have some
for the feelings Of a fallen
Leavenworth Times: wichita's won
derful well is said to be possessed wild /
de debil." The drill has become charged
with electricity and is playing the deuce
with man and beast
Clay Center Times: II may be all right
TO "placate'' Mr.. Murdoch, OF Wichita,
but in the church triumphant there is no
such word as ''placate," it's discipline"
Atchison Globe: Bosses Of conventions,
take your choice: hospitality at Atchison.
and Wichita. or exorbitant
rates at Topeka hotels.
Newton hdTSan. rive nundred MethO-
dist preachers met In Wichita this week
II will take more preachers than that TO
save Wichita
Kansas City Star: The most readable
account of the Hutchinson convention
was written by Dave Leahy for the WIch-
tia Eagle.
Lawrence Journal: Speaking about the
IN hut /
nos seem to be trouble there any more.
