The subject Of "good roads" can
not be kept too prominently to the
front. Why should we not have
good highways? We have taken
refuge too long in the cry that we
are SO young. Hardly anywhere
in Europe would the mud and ruts
of our American highways be toll
Grated.

WAR on THE CORPORATIONS.
Gov. Leedy Attacks the Insurance Companies
and Backs Up sIcSHlI.

TOPEKA. Kan, Oct. 25.-Gov Leedy in a
speech to-day declared that as long as there was
a dollar in the State Treasury he proposed 10
stand behind Superintendent of Insurance Nc
Nall and Attorney-Gencral Boyle in their fight
on foreign insurance companies. He inveighcd
against corporations in general and said: 80
the three classes of corporations there is
one, and only one. which recognizes tie
right for the state TO supervise its
business. The others are bushwhackers
and Contine themselves to a studious effort TO
cvade our laws and conduct their business un.
der IA sort of monarchy which they themselves
establish. IL Is this latter class which gives us
the greatest difficulty. and as much as I dislike
10 see business enterprises withdrawn from the
State, ! sometimes Wish that these law-detying
Institutions would get out OF our business cir.
cies or comply with our laws. | am confident it
would be, in the end, n benefit to the State.
Kansas has never yet been compelled to call
upon some other State for the necessities, of
business in any line, and for that reason l be-
licve that &c could get along without some of
these alleged bencticcnt corporations. There is
one thing about 1t and that is that they must
prepare to comply with our laws. The time is
coming when the people of the STATE will no
longer tolerate this systematic defiance OF law.
and when that point is reached II will DO q sorry
day for the corporationR.'

the scene in anticipation OF a riot. Two line

for the Release OF Two Msn.

Boston, Oct. 25.-Assistant District Attorney
Hennsscy OF New York, in a letter to Gov. VOL
colt, states that in his belief James Thompson Of
2OS Fulton street and T. F. Ryan Of l51 Madi-
son street, New York city, now serving terms in
State prl on for burglary. are Einnocent and
should BIO pardoned. On Feb. 10. 1886. they
were sentenced TO imprisonment for twelve
years for the robbery OF the Webster Post Office.
but three days before their conviction Richard
Burns OF Worcester confessed to the crime and
declared Thompson, and Ryan innocent.
The robbery Of the Webster Post Office oc-
Cured on Oct. 81, 1898. when every stamp and
postal card and several bonds OF the Webster
Water Lien Comp my were ST len. The bonds
came into tho possession of Ryan, and 1t was
while his friend Thompson was trying to dis
pose OF them TO a broker named Frederick
KnoCkncr that the two were arrested.
A dozen busiuc ~ men Of New York attended
the trial OF the men Mt Worcester and testified
that neither was in Webster at tho time Of the
robbery. In spite Of this both were convicted,
The man who confessed TO the crime, Richard
Burns, was sentenced on Feb. z, 1896, to two
terms OF from ten TO twenty years and knowing
that Thompson and Ryan were under arrest

DODGE MODELS NOT CHOSEN.
Mistake About the Soldiers and Sailors Monu-
ment DesiGus.

The Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Commit
tee has not. Il secns, definitely decided to select
one OF the two models submitted by Stephen X.
Dodge. A meeting was held yesterday in the
Mayors office. but nothing was accomplished.
and the committee adjourned TO meet again on
Thursday. Nov. l, when 1t is expected that a
final selection will be made.
The committee met In the Arsenal on Friday
afternoon, and tho fact that Mr.. Dodge had sub
mitted two models was noticed. it is said, for the
first time. After some discussion the Secretary
was directed to notify Mr.. Dodge 10 inform the
committee which of the designs he wished to
have stand in the competition, as both would
not be admitted. This meeting, like all tho
others OF the committee, was held behind closed
doors, and nothing could be learned OF the pro-
Ceedings except that which was given out by
the members. Gen. Coils, who WAS seen by the
reporters, was understood TO say that the selec-
ton had narrowed down TO the two models pre-.
Bumably submitted By Mr.. Dodge. and that tho
choice would be left TO him.. This was printed
in several newspapers. including The sun. Gen.
Coils says, however, that the reporter misun-
derstOod him, and that what he did say was that
the choice OF the model TO be withdrawn would
be left to Mr.. Dodge.
