To the Editor of The Republican:
Sir:-The Republican is filing a
long-felt want Your editorial columns
furnish food for thought. In yester-
days issue you recall A. T. Stewards
nomination and non-confrmation for
precisely the same reasons that exist in
the case of Mr. Lansing. Why, after
destroying business by burning the
premises, should license be refused
to the Pantheon? No one will question
that the Pantheon was as well conduct
ed as saloon can be. We have not
heard las has been said lately that
young men played cards for money
day and night in the Pantheon. II it is
not considered respectable to be a sa-
looon-keeper, is it not equally wrong -
be interested in the same business
only in wholesale way? The day has
gone by for one man to be the arbite-
OF the business interests of the COM
munity, and the Legislature will be
justified in not confirming such an ap-
pointment.
In the recent raid on the surplus"
unfortunately the business community
fell over themselves in applauding
many acts that were clearly illegal. and
the day will come when the personal
responsibility OF me individuals for
their illegal acts will come before the
courts and not council. or meeting
OF mutual admiration society.
To-cay,s issue gives some very good
advice. By all means, every one should
study up on the Constitution and Re
vised Statutes. but they won't find any
law for the fees charged for naturaliza-

mostly men in Office who hope TO hold
down their present jobs. notwithstand-

at business being transacted by OIL

eral doubts The putting OF 81 worth

rial Treasurer Lansing TO grant sa-
loon license, contained the following
as the purport OF an interview with the
Treasurer:
"As TO the mater OF one-man power,
Mr.. Lansing said he had found it did
not exist. The High Sheriff in Homo

Here's a Real Romance.

A pretty little romance is reported
from Minneapolis. Twenty-seven years
ago in Iowa, Rev. J. L. King performed
the marriage ceremony for Mr.. and
Mrs. David Porter. The parson had
his son, one year old, along. In due
time the Porters became the parents
OF girl, and last week this girl be-
came the wife of j. w. King, grown
from the little boy who witnessed her
parents wedding. Parson King cele-
brated this wedding also. It isn't
often a man is found who can tell his
wife how foolish her father looked
when he stood up before the preacher.

Since the first of the year the
Kansas penitentiary is more than pay
ling expenses. For January the profits
We're $5,4O0; February, $780,; and
they will be about $4,000 for March.
There are $50 convicts in the Kansas
penitentiary. OF the total number
only 125 are worked by private con-
tractors. Three hundred are in a coal
mine operated by the state and 200
are used in making binding Irvine.
Others are making brick. All the coal
for the universities, colleges, asy-
lums, and the entire state institu-
tions of Kansas are supplied with fuel
from the penitentiary mines. Brick is
also manufactured for new and to
replace the state buildings, but
neither coal nor brick from the peni-
tertiary is sold to outsiders. Irvine
is sold direct to farmers at two cents
below trust prices.
