ARnlIT The LeaVenWorth Times
YSNSSS (Rep): The fee and sal
N'aWSHS' ary law does not seem to
be reducing the number of candidates
for county Office throughout the State.
Hutchinson Herald (Rep): The Pop
coal oil inspector turned In over $4,000
to the State during his first year of SER
vice. This breaks all records.
Kansas City Star: In Topeka joint
lists who pay the price will continue to
run, all fapdoodle to the contrary not
withstanding. The business end Of pro-
hibitiOn is Doodle.
Lawrence World (Rep.): Judge Hor-
ton is a good man, but he has had jobs
enough. This thing Of encouraging an
Office holding class is all wrong. There
ought to be new blood injected In the
judiciary.
Russell RefOrmer (Pop.): Results,
not promises, are what the people want
and expect Of a State administration;
and in that demand lies the reason for
the hearty endorsement given the Peo-
ple's party officials.
Kansas City Times (Dem.): No one
should get alarmed over the action Of
the Democrats in the Sixth district
Thursday, They will work out the prob
lem of fusion at the polls If they failed
to do 1t al the convention.
Seneca Courier Democrat (Dem. The
Leedy ticket is being supported by the
Democratic press of the State with but
few exceptions. The Leedy administra-
tion has been the best the State has
ever had, and Democrats fight for prin-
ciples, not for spoils.
Chanute Blade (Dem.): Every Dem
Ocratic editor who is sulking and re-

ticket Is referred to by the Republican
press as an eminent Democrat" The
good In Kansas Democracy as measured
by Republicans consists wholly of such
acts as will tend to induce Republican
success.
Emporia Republican: McNall and
Boyle are two State officers who have
shown nerve, grit and force in tack
ling frauds wherever they find them,
from wildcat insurance company to the
Kansas City stock yards, and Governor
Leedy Is to be commended for proposing
to stay by them If it takes the last cent
in the treasury.
Lawrence Gazette (Dem): In bust.
ness, society or politics, 1t Is always
safe to be shy Of man who travels on
his church connection. He Is usually
a hypocrite, Good religion needs NO
hUah NOR dOao q Sinoauo Nh~iok{ar voaj
a sign hung out. The Republican NOM
inee for Governor may be a truly good
church member, but we would take more
stock in his piety IL he and his friendl
had less to say about it
Kansas City Times: The fact that
the citizens Of Mcpherson had to use
revolvers to compel the water company
to turn on water to suppress the threat
ened destruction Of their town the other
night will not make them love the cor
pOratiOns more or love the principles of
public ownership of public utilities less.
Even Jim Simpsons friendship for the
corporations will not soften the hate of
the people for the waterworks company.
Hutchinson Herald (Rep.): Govern
ment by order of court, In the interest
OF corporations, had fair example, last
week, in Mcpherson. A difference Of
opinion having arisen between the city
council and the waterworks company,
the United States Judge was called ON,
