Lawrence Journal: The Santa Fe rail-
road seems 10 be competing just now with
the football field in the additions to the
death rate OF the country.
Arkansas City Traveller: Carrie Nation
saw chance for free advertising the
other day. so she butted in and annoyed
Dowie in one of his meetings
lola REGISTER: Next to Icing. which is
the cardinal sin. the worst mistake any
politician can make is to conciliate his
enemies at the expense OF his friends
Lawrence Gazette: The Wichita Eagle
refers to Kansas City as Inc buFg %
BoodIers." There is reason 10 neheNe
there is almost as much of truth as allit-
Grafton in this.
Ottawa Herald; The Seventh congress
sional district has ten out Of the seven
at the international Sunday school con-
vention at Jerusalem, Palestine
CoffeyviIle Journal: Poor Old Bryan.
He was ordered off the steps OF tne
postoffice al Toledo, Q. They wouldn't
let him speak there. He had to go. to
the curbstone and speak, just like any
other fakr.
Salina Journal: The assurance comes

as expected These are the frauds which
the Karsas City Journal tried to hitch
Governor Stanley TO.
Ell Dorado Republican: Don't so
around telling people of your ailments.
your grievances, your misfortunes. as
nobody is interested in tales of woe OF
any kird. Tell the bright things, the
hopeful things. to your friends and keep
the gruEts and growls to yourself
Leavenworth Times: a man was run
over by beer wagon in Topeka the
other day and seriously injured. And
Topeka is a prohibition town, where they
have more crime and disorder in week
than in any other town in the state II a
month. Holy Topeka.
If the delegation starts off on the right
foot in this matter-that is, if the pres
ident holds them 10 harmony before max
ing an appointment-the matter of patch
ing up differences in the state Will BE-
much easier than it is now. Harmony
will grow like a SNOWFALL. Just as disor-
der and wrangling spreads like prairie
fire.
Fort Scott Monitor: DR.. Snow is no
longer chancellor of the University CT
Kansas but he is still making it lively
Ia
latest report is that he is scheming, ard
with fair prospect of success. against
the boil weevil. One of these days the
old gentleman will light onto method
for the determination of the cinder
Beetle, and then his name will go aloft
alongside of that of old John Brown,
the hero of Osawatomie.
Empcria Gazette: The always reliable
Kansas City Star announces that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has told the Kansas
delegation that they must get together
on a candidate for federal judge. The
president is dead right in giving this ad-
vice. There has been too much unnec-
essary scrapping among Kansas Republi-
cans. There are times when row is
good thing. But as general rule rows
among Kansas Republicans for the
eighteen months last past have been
without warrant or excuse. They have
been bred in spite and matured in envy.
The thing for the congressional delega-
ton to do is to get together on candi-
date for federal judge and to set the
other Republicans of Kansas a good ex-
ample.
Atchison Globe: There was a time
when men of sense fooled with whisky.
but they are gradually quitting it. No
man of sense can excuse whisky. Ac-
tors were formerly addicted to drink.
! They have quit it. 1t has been dis
covered that an actor who is temper
ate and takes care of himself, re
| ceives a larger salary, and more ap-
plause, than the actor who drinks.
Whisky has been tried, in short in the
court of reason, and it has been con-
demned by every man of understanding.
But it seems to be growing in favor
! with the mentally unfortunate. Saloons
| are increasing; we noticed new set OF
| fixtures going in today. When a man is
down, and is certain he can never get up,
| he drinks to drown his disgrace; he
only calls renewed attention to it If the
! man who drinks will quit it, he will be
surprised how much of a recovery h
can make; he viii be surprised al the
encourag ement given him by sober men.
