LOOKS TO TOPEKA.
Kansas City, Kansas, Wants a Topeka
Papers Aid.

The Lawrence Journal publishes the
following article in which Kansas City,
Kansas. is roundly criticised for not
encouraging home newspapers and in
cidentally calls the town and its people
hard names:
AN arrangement has been entered in
to by the Topeka Capital. by the terms
of which it agrees to print a certain
amount of Kansas City, Kansas, news.
In return for this, the Commercial club
of Kansas City, Kansas, agrees TO fur
nish the Capital with 1000 subscribers.
Such arrangement was perhaps
never heard of before, save in small
towns that are not able to support
newspaper. It appears, however, that
while Kansas City, Kansas, is not a
small town, it is not able to support a
newspaper. So far as the Capital is
concerned, this is purely q business
matter, and the paper is justified in
accepting the offer made to it. But
what shall we say of the city that goes
seventy miles from home to get its news
printed?
Have the business men of Kansas
City, Kansas, no enterprise? Have
the citizens there no pride in their
town, no care for it's honor or good
name? Have they lost all that feeling
of patriotism for home and home in
SIltutlons that IS a characteristic OF the
kansan? Have they lived so long in
sight of Missouri that they have be-
come at heart MissOurians and forgot
ten the state and local pride that marks
the true Kansan whether he lives in a
dug out or in a palace? 1t would seem
So Kansas City, Kansas, is not with
US, nor for US; the town has not a Kan
sas feature, not a Kansas ambition not
a Kansas hope. In business, in social
life, in politics, Kansas City, Kansas
is an Ishmaelite. Its hand is against
every man, and against its own people
more emphaticalIy than against out
siders. Kansas City, Kansas, is a can
nibal; it is worse; not content with
deVOuring it's own species, it devOurs
its own offspring. Its business houses
are such as are in town of one-fourth
It's size. They are merely such inSti-
tutiOns as may be found in the suburbs
of a city, local stores that supply hasti-
~ needed commodities for the homes in
the neighbOrhOod.
Its politicians cut each others
threats at every opportunity: it's law
the quarrels that are in constant pro-
gress. 1t starves its newspapers into
weakness, and then abuses them because
they are not strong, and, like the Indian
VINO leaves his old squaW to die in the
tepee and takes to himself a young
wife, it abandons the newspaper that
has struggled and worked and fought
newspaper seventy miles away to print
the local news. With a thousand new
subscribers, George Martin could make
OF the Gazette a paper that would be
a credit to the city. There are thou
sands Of good people there. honest,
energetic, true Kansans, who would
no doubt like to be as other Kansans
but as for the town as a whole, as a
municipality, it is a disgrace to the
state and no more belongs in progress
and spirit to Kansas than does a town
in the SWamps of Arkansas"
