THE LIMIT is REACHED.
From the Parsons Sun. ]

From the PARSONS 91A.l
In response to numerous inquiries
regarding this papers attitude toward
certain state officers and. to those who
have proffered unsolicited, free advice
the Sun deems the moment opportune
for an unequivocal statement, defin-
ing its position.
There are three classes among our
patrons. each of which insists upon
an accession to its particular demands.
The first is made up of those who
insist that we support every candidate
on the national, state and county
ticket, without regard for honesty or
qualifications.
The second class advises modera-
ton, a rational conservative and dig
nified stand, exercising studious
avoidance of commitment, if possible
The third class consists of those
fearless fellows who insist upon the
publication of every proven fact,
whether it be commendatory, or det-
rimental.
Exercising its prerogative as a
newspaper of the Republican party,
and therefore an advocate of honest
government, the Sun hesitates not to
proclaim it's rights and will take the
stand with the latter mentioned class
of it's patrons-who, it may be said,
constitute a remarkably large percent
age-and will reiterate. that men of
T. T. Kelly's character even if they
are candidates for office on the Re-
publican ticket, need not hope for the
support of this paper, or any of its
friends who will take its advice.
Following upon the heels of the To-
peka State Journals exposure of this
mans odious transa ctions-corrupt
proceedings that have left a stain
upon the high Office he holds, comes
the official report of the state account
ant, which leaves no doubt of his
shameless record.
There is nothing particularly sur
prising in the Topeka State Journals
exposure of Treasurer Kelly. 1t has
been known since the investigation of
the Miami county clerks records, af-
ter Kelly's retirement that he was in
the habit of handling public funds in
manner that suited his private
needs, and the voters of Kansas were
thoroughly familiar with the fact
when they elected him to a higher Of
fetal position.
Both by the testimony of two officers
of the Interstate National bank of
Kansas City, Kan, and by his own
statement,T. T. Kelly is proven an en-
bezzler. The law is explicit in its lang
uage, defining embezzlement as regards
the possible action of the state treasurer
and there is no mistalxing its appIica-
ton to Kelly's case. 1t now develops
that Kelly made it possible for the
school fund commissioners to purchase
those Comanche county bonds-first, as
a member of the state board of equaliz-
alton, I'm helping to raise the taxable

THE SUNDAY CIUB.

Religious workers are fighting out
their battle along a different line than
they did yesterday and the day before
Just recently, President Harper of Chi
cago university, proclaimed the doc
trine of the great school of which he
is the head, as favoring a practical
general education for his ministerial
students, instead of the old, yellow
aged, formula of Hebrew and Greek,
within clustered walls. He announc-
ed a training in things about which
the world thinks right now, of aues-
lions which hem it around about Just
now, OF mental, moral, physical and
financial conflicts in which the uni
verse is engaged in now
Apropos to this new spirit which is
taking root all over the world. the To-
peka Y NJ. c. A, proposes to estab-
llsh The Sunday Club The primary
principle is of course to show those
who come THE Better Way" yet The
application of the principle, or the
showing of this 'way'' through the
mazes Of genuine flesh and blood life,
Is the new factor and the interesting
one Pertinent questions, such as bus
mess men, professional men, and work
will be tested for their solution with
the Christian idea Men who have
struggled through them, have fought
their way out, and can tell about
them. will be asked to do so-wiII be
asked to prove the values of right liv-
ing and of right acting, not in a gem
eral sense, but in an immediate, speci-
f1c one.
A sacred concert by an orchestra
lasting an hour is to be another feature
Of the club. The useful Sunday after
noon O'Clock meetings are another Of
fering. An hours work in Bible class,
too. finds place on the programme, which
will last the whole afternoon through
from 2 o'clock until 6. Anyone may
come and go when he pleases. He can
select just such parts of the programme
which he cares for.
Without question such a club ought
to be a decidedly desirable organiza-
ton for any city. Many are the young
men whose Sunday afternoon proves
too long, and the features which the
Sunday club offer them are genuine and
vital food for their minds.
