any other way.
Kansas City Star: One Of the Neosho

purifier and another IS a preacher. The

Anthony Republican: The Wichita

variety Of immoral things abound.
Kansas City Advocate: Why should
not Judge Reed make a creditable candi-
date for chief justice of Kansas in 1856?
He could wear and tie a neck scarf and
command the confidence Of the party who
elected him; and he would not be a politi-
cal judge, either.
Arkansas City Traveller: Wichita has
another ghost sensation. Wichita is al
ways having trouble with one kind of
spirits or another. First it is the kind of
spirits Tiger BIZ is after and next it's
the kind that walks. Wichita's spirit
sensations are hard 10 keep tab on.
Kansas City Gazette: The state admin

county. The prosecution had no testi-
mony. whatever. When the suit was be-
gun the editor OF the Eagle said he didn't
have 10 be a jackleg lawyer TO know that
there was nothing in the case and that it
would fail
Kiowa Review: Our esteemed cotem-
porary of the Wichita Eagle says there
are ghosts in that city. May they not
be the departed spirits OF prohibition?
II is too bad for the Peerless Wonder
that its cody denizens have TO suffer
from the nocturnal visits of celestial be
ings. May it not, in part, be the spirit
of John Barleycorn?
Lawrence Journal: Tiger BIZ. the Ter
ror of Wichita, says he has the prohibi-
ton fight won in his town, and declares
that he is in the fight to stay until sheol
has over its surface a coating of ice suf-
fcient TO furnish good tobogganing. II
the Journal had anything against Leaven-
worth and Wyandotte IL would head a
subscription TO send Tiger Bill to those
towns in order to get even.
Lawrence Journal: II is said that the
prosecution of Rufe Cone. the newly elect
ed sheriff of Sedgwick. on the charge of
buying his way into the Office, has fallen
fat. The Journal presumes he is guilty;
nearly all of the men elected to Office are
However, a conviction is an impossibility,
or next to that. To prohibit men from
buying Office would be too much of an in
novation. Kansas people will not stand IT,
Kansas City Advocate: Captain Wal
den, fire marshal of Wichita, Kansas,
was in this city for several days on bust
ness with his department. and while here
instituted a camp of the Order of Mystic

Winfield Tribune: The fact is, Morrill,
is the only governor Kansas has ever had
who has made a determined effort to en-
force the prohib!tory law, even in special
localities. He evidently thought when he
placed his guns in position, they would I
cover the worst enemies against the law /
in the state and when such places were /
