TO "ROAST'' NEWSPAPERS.
Maybe Governor Leedy Will Touch
Them UP at Emporia.

Governor Leedy today accepted an in
vitation to deliver the opening address
at the meeting of the Kansas Reform
Press association in Emporia next Mon
day night. When approached by James
Morphy of the Topeka Advocate on the
matter this morning Governor Leedy
asked:
''Can I roast the newspapers if I go
down, Jim?''
Sure replied Morphy. "Abuse them
all you want to. They won't care
''All right" said the governor. IF L
can play the newspapers game for an
hour or SO I'll go down.
The association will continue in SeS-
sion all day Tuesday. A number OF in
teresting papers, among them one on
kansas Insurance Affairs" by Webb
McNall, and ''The New School Book
Bill and the Work of the Text Book
Commission" by Superintendent Stry-
ker will be read.

EMPoRIA's OPEN SALOONS.
City Accepts Fines From the Saloon
Men in the Nature of a License.

Emporia. July 17-As predicted some
time ago, the city of Emporia, has de-
cided to license the liquor traffic. To-
day the act was consummated. On the
records of the police court are entered
five complaints for selling liquor The
complaints are sworn to by Dan Dryer,
the city marshal, not with a desire to
suppress the sale of liquor, but to car
ry out the mayors plan to license the
joints by a monthly fine and raise rev.
enue for the city.
The deal between the joint keepers
and the city. whereby the jointists are
to pay the fine, came to a head as the
result of a conference between the
jointists and Mr.. Dryer at the solicita-
ton of the mayor. The marshal has
arranged the time when each jOintist
shall appear for trial, so that there will
be no crowd around when the conVic
ton is made. Today several came up
according to appointment made with
the marshal, and pleaded guilty.
They did not introduce any evidence to
controvert Dryers sworn warrant and
there was nothing for Police Judge
Smelzer to do but to assess the maxi
mum fine and costs, which was done.
Tomorrow another batch will come up
ard go through the same process. The
reasons offered by the city authorities
for this action is that there are 8 gov
ernment liquor licenses in Enporia. The
fine of $25 will drive half of them out.
1t is claimed by the advocates of this
policy that the others can then afford to
pay $50 a month.

SHOWING FOR FAST MAIL
Wichita Eagle Makes Serious Charges
Against Kansas City Postal
Officials
The Wichita Eagle says:

! The Wichita Eagle says:
| There are indications of sharp and
! reckless practice on the part of the
| Kansas City postoffice employees, in con-
nection with Wichita, Southern Kan
sas and Oklahoma, which is liable to
cause trouble.
| tarded in the Kansas City mail stations
for the benefit of the Kansas City pa
pers fast mail train.
AS is we'll known, the government,
through the postoffice department, pre-
Sented the Kansas City papers with a
fast mail train which travels as far as
Newton, and distributes few poorly
printed and poorly compiled early news
papers along the line. The government,
through its postoffice department, pro-
tests that the mail train is not for the
benefit of the newspapers, but in favor
of the general public in receiving and
dispatching regular mail matter, such
as business letters, circulars, etc.
Now it is a known fact that this fast
mail train has been carrying only a
handful of business letters. Other and
regular trains leave Kansas City at half
past nine o'clock at night and of course
all business letters are in the postOfice
by seven o'clock in the evening at least
and would come west on these early
night trains to be received here and
south of Wichita the next morning.
The fast mail carried practically moth
ing in the way of business letters.
Now, there are strong suspicious, al
most certainties, that the stations in
Kansas City, where the letters are
mailed are holding these letters until
after ten o'cock ana sending them
down on the fast mail train in order to
give it a showing and prevent the gov
ernment officials from cutting it off en-
tirelY.
This delay in letters does not affect
Newton or any towns east of it, but it
is hard on Wichita and other towns
south because the mail is held half
day at Newton, when it reaches there,
and finally gets to Wichita too late for
banking hours, thus delaying collections
whole day.
number of business men here and
at other points have noticed the change
and are securing evidence and will file
complaint that Will bring the Kan
sas City tricksters up standing. 1t is
! serious offense to delay mails and if the
Kansas City pOstoffice authorities have
lent themselves to the scheme they will
soon be in hot water.

"RECESSIONAL."
Rudyard Kipling's Poem on the
Queen's Jubilee.

London, July 1.-THE Times this
morning publishes five stanzas by
Rudyard Kipling, entitled Recession
al" The first stanza is as follows:
"God OF Our Fathers, known of old,
Lord of our far-fiung battle line,
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine;
Lord God of hosts, be with yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget
The tumult and the shouting dies,
The captains and the kings depart, etc.
Describing the cessation of the jubilee
festivities, the poem continues:
Lo; all our pomp of yesterday,
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre
Judge of the nations, spare US yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget.
Then as a warning against idle boast
ing, the final StanZa reads:
For heather heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard,
All valiant dust that builds on dust
And guarding calls not thee to guard;
For frantic boats and foolish word,
This merry on thy people, lord.
