and exceedingly derogatory to that gen
tloman's Well-known copious fund OF
general information. Granting then
that Mark Is right in the matter, the
greatness of his signal victory Is OBJ
ViOus. He not only preserved to pos
terity the great Hanna faction of the
Republican party in Ohio, but by the
narrow majority of one vote prevented
the loss to the world Of the benign sway
Of the Creator himself.
ApNur Minneapolis Better Way
vsyCSc nSC (Pop.): Come to think
NANShS' of it now, have any of the
laws passed by the last Legislature
been declared unconstitutional.
Hutchinson Interior-Herald (Rep.):
With one or two exceptions the Federal
appointments have gone to the barna-
cles and political warts. And several
more warts are reported slated.
Wichita Beacon (Dem.) Now let the
New York Life show its hand. 1t is
important for the Kansas people to
know whether they have achieved their
independence or are still ruled by cor
proalions.
Mankato Advocate (Pop.) It Is hard
to figure out any great loss to the State
when an insurance company pulls out
which has been taking out Of the State
annually four times as many dollars as
it has paid back.
Anthony Bulletin: There is no more
occasion for a second Federal district
for Kansas than there is for another
Governor. OF course the politicians

to fill and one more promise redeemed.
WaKeeney Independent: Prof. Blake,

and railroad officials who rob hundreds
should be pardoned.
Howard Citizen (Pop): The division
Of Kansas into two Federal districts,
as planned by Republicans, Is simply a
plan to provide places for Republican

didn't hoist his distress flag, In the
shape Of that letter to the Capital Of
week ago Sunday until ne had discov-

Great Bend Reacon (POp.): An ef-

hut the effort failed. When the FIRST
school year shall have passed and the

Webb McNall: You never heard of
a Protestant going to bed at night and
waking up in the morning a Catholic.
Yet Won have seen the Republican party
go tn bed in Kansas and wake up in
tho morning, read the st. Louis plat
