KANSAS.
Wichita CommOner: No
party ever In one term
accomplished all II started

ONS W dCCOLupAlSuS anu Nv party uo@
ever accomplished so much in so short
time as the Populist party.
Kansas City Gazette (Rep.): Thank
the Lord, not a single Republican paper
has once said we would have a business
administration. The last one we had
was enough for all time.
Emporia Gazette (Rep): Mr. G. Le-
land, Jr., came out of the gubernatorial
fight stronger than he went in. His
friends nominated Stanley, but he staid
and went down with Hood.
Lawrence World (Rep): We notice
with pleasure that r. M. Chenault, Of
Fort Scott, has bolted. He does this
regularly every two years, and regularly
every two years he gets job lot Of free
advertising.
Kansas City Times: II Stanley hadn't
said himself that he got his first Job in
Kansas by underbldding a little school
ma'am So per month, the Republican
papers would have denounced 1t long
ago as campaign lie.
Eureka Union (Pop.). Hon. H. s.
Martins visit to this county last week
has enabled many POpulists to learn
that he stands for all the Peoples party
principles in national affairs, and we
have not heard Of Populist who would
not support him.
Garden City Sentinel (POp.): AS an
illustration Of how much the Republi-
cans want to see Jerry Simpson beaten
witness the nomination OF three men
on the State ticket from the Seventh
Congressional district. They hope by
this to bolster up Chester Longs weak
candidacy.
Hutchinson Herald (Rep): The Su-
preme court Of the State, having
fastened cheaper school books on
the people Of this State, and Choked of
the school book robbers, future rob-
berries will have to be perpetrated in the
name Of buildings, seats and other sup
plies, and salaries.
Columbus Modern Light (Pop.): STAN
ley, the Republican nominee for Gov
ernor, seems to be a sort Of DR.. Jekyll
and Mr.. Hyde man. He came to the
convention with his minister on his
right and his bartender on his left
the ways which will he walk with?
Parsons Palladium (Dem): Governor
Leedy has not accepted pass from the
railroads since his Inauguration and
will not do SO this year. He says that
he could not accept favor without do
ing something in return for 1t and he
has no favors to extend to the railroads
until they begin to treat the people
fairly.
Lawrence World (Rep); Gov. Leedy
Is right in naming Colored field officers
for the colored troops and then allow
Ing them the same privileges Of electing
company officers as the white soldiers
had. There are number OF colored men
In the State fully competent to be ma
jors and their selection will give the
colored people a chance Of getting to the
front.
Topeka Capital: Senator Harris wires
from Washington that he is receiving
many letters from bankers in Kansas
who think that deposits are taxed under
the war revenue bill This supposition
is q mistake. There is no tax on bank
deposits under the new act. There Is
an occupation tax on banking and a
stamp tax on bank checks. The burden
is on bank stock and profits, not on de-
posits.
Kansas City Times; The Larned
Eagle-0ptiC, published at the home Of
W. G. Edwards, Corroborates the state
ment that Stanley promised the chair
inanship Of the Board Of Railroad Com
missloners to Mr. Edwards in consider
alton Of getting him to withdraw his
name in Seaton's interest in the State
convention. It is against the law to
make such promises, and Stanley is law
\ yer enough to know 1t.
Lawrence World (Rep): The World
wants to say just one word about the
failure OF the committee on resolutions
at the Hutchinson convention to endorse
