THE EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION

The editors who attended the editorial
association at Topeka and the banquet
at Kansas City had taste of high life
seldom enjoyed by the members OF this
craft. Topeka opened her arms and re-
ceived them royalty. With pocket full
of street Car passes, admittence to the
floor of both houses o. the legislature
and to the pure food show, on no Gre
dentials beside the badges, the hustling
quill pushers Jared very well. Then
the lunch following the Intellectual
feast served by Joe Waters and Tom
McNeal was not without appreciation.
But if Topeka opened her arms, Kan
sas City opened her heart. Here the
experience ranged from getting stuck
in the Fifth Street tunnel to de.
vouring an intellectual repast from
Murat Halstead, Noble Prentice and
Bob Burdette at the commercial club
rooms. Another lunch prepared the
way for the banquet at the Coates
House which lasted from till 10
o'clock. The hungry editor whose
usual bill Of fare is jack rabbit, CATER
corn and jack RABBIT again, almost
thought he had reached the gates ajar
or the city celestial when he started off
with "consomme en- tasse" through
ten courses down to gateaux asortis,
and good night. Next morning after
breakfast they bid their gracious hosts
adieu with many thanks thinking of
next year when the association is to
meet in Kansas City.

A BILL has just passed the Alabama

A BILL has just passed the Alabama
senate providing for the dispensary
plan in dealing with the liquor prob
lem as in South Carolina and will prob
ably pass the house. This IS a plan
which promises to be one of the most
practical for dealing with the question
and will probably be adopted in many
other States, unless the United States
Supreme Court spoils it, as it usually
does any good piece of legislation.

AN EVENT which shows something
Of the toryism into which the fashion
able wealthy circles Of the East are
drifting, is shown in the ceremonies
engaged in by a lot Of bishops Of the
Episcopal church, more properly the
church of England, in Philadelphia on
Sunday evening, in which o picture of
Charles l., the monarch who was be-
headed by the popular uprising under
Cromwell, was displayed and virtually
worshipped. The monarch was called
the royal martyr, Charles" and pane
gyrics were delivered to his memory
as we might on Kansas day to the
memory of John Brown. 1t was not
the man that inspired all this, for there
is nothing IN the character of Charles
I. for the admiration of anyone. 1t
must have been devotion to the cause
Of which he was the type and shadow.
1t is a time for patriots to be on guard.
