Ellsworth Populist: w.
Il. Bush is making one Of
the best officers the State
ABOUT
KANSAS.

mas ever mad, and the people are not Tor-
getting to note the fact as they go along.
Ellsworth Reporter: Klondike and
Kansas both begin with X, but Kansas
is the real happy, beautiful mistress Of
the most wealth. She responds when
patiently Wooed, and the marriage Is for
life and is happy.
Emporia Gazette: The State Temper
ance Union will do well to have little
truck with Ben Henderson. He is
bad lot and he won't do what he says
he'll do. Governor Leedy can do no better
than to incur his enmity.
Junction City Sentinel (Dem.): Saml.
Kimball, Of Manhattan, went to Topeka
last week to re-organize his gold stand
ard party, but as Eugene Hagan was over
in Missouri there was no one to assist
him in getting the party together.
Eureka Union (Pop): Have you no.
ticed that while Senator Baker has been
busy securing jobs for some Of the poll
ticians, Senator Harris has secured a
long list Of pensions for deserving pen
siOners? Is it necessary to ask which
one is the real friend to the old soldier,
after the election?
Clay Center Times (Rep): Secretary
Coburn took the State Editorial Asso-
citation into his confidence last Tuesday
and then and there positively declined
to be candidate for Governor. His rea-
sons are good and sufficient unto him
self and family, further no one has
right to question. Sure 1t is no man ever
declined under more flattering prospects
of ultimate success. The Times Is feel
ing mighty bad over it, both personally
and politically.
Emporia Republican: The selection
of Topeka for this National Creamery
convention illustrates the growing i'm
portance of Kansas as a dairy State. For
number of years the creamery industry
has been gaining headway, and this con-
vention will no doubt give it an impetus
which will place this State in the very
front rank Of the butter-making COM
monwealths. This enterprise deserves
the heartiest encouragement because Of
the fact that the creameries are opening
the way to diversified industries, the one
thing needed to make Kansas one Of the
richest States in the Union.
Rice County Eagle: Ever since the
Populist party gained foothOld in Kan
sas the interest on State bonds has grad
ually decreased until now, when the
State is entirely in control of the POpu-
lists, it never was so low and the rank"
Of the State never so high. Even Han
mas State sends here for copies Of State
laws passed by the Pops and bitterly
fought by the Republicans, in an en-
deavor to duplicate them there and re-
deem that State as the Pops have re-
deemed Kansas. There is more patriot
ism and sound, solid sense in the man
any State in the Union.
Kansas Commoner: The Kansas text
book law is before the Iowa Legislature
with fair prospects for it's passage. 1t
is also before the Legislatures Of Ohio
and Mississippi. What's the matter with
the credit Of Kansas, and why were not
Kansas laws sought after when the
stand-ups were in power? The forces
opposed to Republicanism have redeemed
Kansas in every sense Of the word. The
Republicans were Ousted from power and
now Kansas securities and Kansas laws
are in demand. Will the Republicans
who were so anxious to save the credit
Of the State by keeping 1t out of the
hands of the Populists explain this?
Harvey County Banner: While Re-
publican papers are wasting their am
munitiOn on the State administration for
opposing the encroachments of insur-
ance, coal and railroad companies, they
might with profit look at what other
States are doing. Insurance Commits
sioners in California, Missouri, Nebraska
and several other States are bringing
insurance companies to time along the
lines laid down by our own McNall
