Minneapolis Better Way
IPOD.l; One thing that
ABOUT
KANSAS.

liquor question.
Minneapolis Better Way Pop. Mr..
Stanley says he is willing to learn from
his fusion friends. One thing he has al
ready learned is not to monkey with any
of the laws passed by them.
Junction City Sentinel (Pop): The
people can say we turned clean, able,
faithful set Of officers out OF the State
house, anyway. That is more than the
opposition can say at all times
Lebanon Journal (Pop): The Repub-
llcan party is run by the present ma
tional banking system, that financially
wrecks more people every year than any
other system that could possibly be de-
vised; and yet the people of Kansas vot-
ed against any improvement for their
own safety.
Wichita Beacon (Dem.): AbOllshing
offices before election is easy, but when
Mr.. Stanley comprehends the poverty OF
Offices at his disposal, and counts the
army Of applicants, he will find that it
requires backbone to reduce patronage.
It is said that backbone is not abundant
at the next Governors Office.
Lebanon Journal (Pop.): According
to the best Republican statistics obtain
able just now, the people In the form OF
the Peoples party has died just eight
times since 1889. The man that talks
that annual nonsense should get him a
parrot and learn it to repeat; and II he Is
real busy he might just as well have the
parrot do his voting
Burlington Courier (Pop): The fell
lows who so industriously poked fun at
Governor Leedy's north and south rail-
road might turn their attention to Long
streets double track air line road from
Kansas City to the Pacific coast, to be
built by the national government. Such
q proposition coming from Republican
official is not to be ignored or ridlculed.
Parsons Eclipse: The people of Kan
sas will probably have an opportunity
to compare the work of Webb McNall
with that of some representative Of an
insurance company which has time and
again robbed the people of Kansas, who
will be appointed insurance commission
er, to look after the welfare of the in
surance companies and not that Of the
people
Howard Citizen (Pop): The coal op-
orators are making complaint that the
railroads seize carloads Of coal for their
own use that are billed to customers.
The railroads excuse this action on the
ground Of necessity. This, no doubt, is
all right for the railroad companies, but
II private individual should commit
such an act, no difference what his con-
dition or the condition of his family
might be, he would land in the pen.
Chanute Blade (Dem): Lit Crum,
whom the Kansas Republicans were un-
able to "place' out of the list Of Presi
Dental appointments, but whom they
tided over hoping to carry Kansas, which
they did so easily, has shown up, as
usual, for an appointment under Gov
ernor Stanley. Crum Is one OF those
old political barnacles that every party
has to contend with, who never let's loose
until they are chOked off and who always
come back gasping as soon as they can
partially get their breath.
Leavenworth Labor Chronicle (non-
partisan): The Kansas City stock yards
company will do business again in Kan
sas. They have leased ten acres Of ground
from the Union Pacific railway and will
build yards upon it, and the Republicans
claim that this shows that the company
has gained confidence since the election
of Stanley, or, to put it in plain Eng
lish, the company believes that the elec-
tion of Stanley makes it safe for them
to again rob the farmers and stockmen
by charging exorbitant prices for feeding
and yarding cattle.
Emporia Times (Pop): II would run"
was Webb McNall's laconic reply when
asked IL he would accept the nomina-
tiOn Of the allied silver forces for Gov
ernor in 1900. He has fought a good
