ABOUT
KANSAS.


N"""H"' alton Of the Philippines,
1900 Kansas men will be on the ground
after the war to give the new deal the
proper start.
Hiawatha Democrat: There Is talk of
running Ed Murphy, Of LeaVenwOrth
county, for Secretary Of State. Murphy
knows too much to go up against stone
wall. The name Of the fusion candidate
for Secretary Of State will be w. e.
Bush.
Emporia Gazette (Rep): Senator
Baker doesn't care much for Kansas
newspapers. He evidently thinks they
are worthless lot Perhaps he's right.
They take" q good deal. No one should
have any sympathy for a woman whose
husband beats her the second time.
Kansas City Tribune (Rep): II the
story told by Geo. H. Evans and his son
and published in the Topeka Advocate
is true, it sounds the death knell to four
prominent Kansas Republicans. II they
are not true, Evans and the Advocate
outfit should be In jail. There is no mid"
die ground.
Kansas City Times: The present de-
mGnd on Governor Leedy's time has
tested the abilities of James Lewis as
private secretary and he stands the test
in way that calls out compliments from
everyone. Not a man has left the Gov
errors Office with a sore spot since Mr.
Lewis took charge.
Olathe News-Herald (Rep): OlathC
sent less men to the front than any
other town in the State-just four-but
they were mighty fine boys. We might
say too, that there are about fifty
young men here who had better be earn
ing SIS a month fighting Spaniards than
shooting craps for living in Olathe.
Topeka Journal Ond. Rep.): Shawnee
county will have thirty-seVen delegates
in the State convention and thirty-seven
votes are worth looking after. 1t is
commonly believed that a large amount
Of money is being used in an unwar-
ranted manner and not to the credit Of
honorable voters or honorable candi-
dates.
Kansas City Times: The Topeka Cap
ital is using the fact that John SeatOn
voted for the school text book law to
secure him the delegation from Shawnee
county The text book law was a good
thing for Republican paper to oppose
I'm 1897, but 1t seems to be a good thing
to indOrse in 1898. How time changes
things.
Topeka Capital: The boys who go to
the front under command of Gen. Hud-
son are to be congratulated on having
thorough Kansas man for their COM
mander, a gallant soldier whose orders
will always point them forward and a
general who will be their hearty per-
sonal friend, alive to their comfort as
well as their honor.
Lyndon Herald (Pop): It will be the
duty Of the delegates to the State con-
vention to vote for the strongest men.
Votes are what we most desire and every
selfish and personal motive should be
subOrdinated to that one idea. OF course
we don't mean that this idea should be
carried to the extreme of supporting In
competent or unworthy men. There Is
NJ necessity for that.
Hutchinson News: Two months from
now there will be a dispatch like this:
Manila, July 20.--The Twentieth Kan
sas arrived here last week. The beau
tiful quarter section on the Cavite side
has been plated and town lots are sell
ing rapidly. Four new railroads will be
built before the dry season begins. A
new political party has been organized
and will fight the court house ring"
Kansas City Star: The State school
books are now in use everywhere in
Kansas except Topeka, and there Gen
eral Boyle has instituted an action to
compel the school board to obey the
law. Some of the books In use in To-
peka are In the State list, and the prices
fixed by the law are 40 per cent less
than the prices stipulated in the boards
contract. The only kick against the
law is that it is a Pop measure.
Manhattan Republic (POp.): Over 800
