ABOUT
KANSAS.


didate about high examination rates.
MankatO Advocate: The State Of
Kansas never had cleaner, better, more
faithful and competent set OF State Off
GERS than are to be found in the capitol
building at this time.
Herlngton Times (Rep.); Webb Nc
Nall can be credited with being fighter,
II nothing else He has won every fight,
too, 80 far, and seems to be in fair
way TO keep on doing 80.
2 Newton Republican: Some Republi-
can papers claim that II is shame
that Kansas Is represented in the United
States Senate by William A. Harris.
Kansas has had no better Senator for
years than he, Populist though he may
be.
OskalOOsa Times (Pop): With per-
feet fairness accorded to Superintendent
McNall full credit for the good he has
done the State In his executive capacity,
we would ask In all Candor, why does
he keep such q notorious character as
that man FoOte in Office as one of his
special examiners.
Abilene Chronicle (Rep.): After
awhile Kansas can organize some more
insurance companies Of her own with
O chance Of their prOspering. The Phoe-
nix Fire Assurance Company, of Lon
don, has notified superintendent Of In
surance McNall that 1t will withdraw
from Kansas January 1. The company
gave as its reason that it does not desire
to be annoyed by fuses with McNall.
Lawrence Jeffersonian: The Repub-
licans have been bowling a great deal
about the State treasury being empty
and claim that when they were in power
there was always plenty OF money. Let's
see, who was In power when the Univer-
slty professors did not receive their sal
aries for four months? One Of the first
things Populists did when they came into
power was to pay four months of back
salary to the University people.
Mound City Torch Of Liberty (Pop.):
The Topeka Capital Of December "a, in
commenting upon members Of the State
administration, refers to Judge S. H.
Allen, David HeAebOwer and Superin-
tendent Stryker as being thorough
going Populists, and what is more to
the point, they are giving character to
the administration" The Torch fully
agrees with this remark. They are men
OF ability and honesty Of purpose, moral,
temperate men, and such men command
respect and give strength to any party.
Ness City News (Rep.): II the move
ment to have the State divided into two
districts for holding United States courts
iB based upon no motive higher than
supplying places for Sam Peters and Lit
Crum, or amy other men, the scheme
should be throttled at once. And IL
there Is q necessity for such division.
coupled with the probability that these
men are to be the beneiciaries, 1t would
be better that matters remain In statu
quo. Too much machine work" Is
neither good for the people nor the
party.
Topeka Daily Capital (Rep.): Other
colleges besides the one in Kansas are
preparing to give special courses in
dairying and more practical way of
increasing the farmers profits could not
be devised. The dairy business has In
creased at prodlgious rate within the
past few years, and it Is still, compare
lively speaking, in It's infancy. Within
q few years 1t will be one OF the lead
Ing features of this western country,
\ which has been well favored by nature
Tor the development Of this promising
industry.
Judge Dale (Dem), Of Wichita:
knew Justice Allen before he was elected
Associate Justice and believed at that
time that he was an able jurist, and,
: since becoming Associate Justice, his
0piMions have not only confirmed that
belief, but have satisfied the bench and
bar OF the State that he Is eminently
qualified for that position. He is ac-
RnOwledged to be the equal Of any
Judge who has ever graced the bench
OF the Supreme court and lis entitled to
q renOmlnatiOn and re-election, which
