practically all the business men of Kan
sas. Governor Hoch and his two friends
seem to be ready to sacrifce the inter
ests OF the people in order to obtain re-
Venge upon the federation, because II
refused to indorse all the railroad COM
Enissioners named by the railroads and
dutifuIly placed on the ticket at the
last state convention.
s.All three of these men have evinced
a vindictive spirit towards the com
mercial interests of the state, and IN
the spirit of the capitalists who refuse
to treat with the unions. they refuse
to have anything to do with the fedora
ton bill but promise to enact some QUIZ
er law that viii be just as good.
Here are two conflicting opinions
about the Kansas Day clubs expert
rnent on the other side of the color line
The first is from the Ottawa Herald;
The Kansas Day club worried along
without the presence of Mr.. Moeser, OF
Wichita, while by having DR.. w. L
Vernon present it heard one of the pest
addresses ever delivered before the club
The exchange of Moeser for Vernon
seems to have been a profitable trade
for the club
The wellington Daily Mail takes the
other view of the case. 1t says:
personally we know of scores OF Re-
publicans all over the state who declare
that they will not attend these BAN
quests so long as negroes are ADMITTED
to them. The management OF tne Ran
sas Dav club have their choice between
the cOrnpanionship of these negroes and
the white Republicans but cannot nave
both The arrangements Tor the next
banquet will show whom lhe new W on 9n
GERS prefer, the negro or scores Oh Re
Dublicans who have done their Iull
share in building up the party ana WIN
ming its victories. 4.4
W. Y. Morgan is aIfalq ms Sol I' -
he is doing. He says in his weekly
letter to his paper, the Hutchinson
News: ,daas Of
what the legislature is doing or IS
about to do. The newspapers are
prone to give the most space 70 eA-
citing and novel propositions that are
hardly seriously considered IN the
state house. You always want to al
low for this fact and not get eXclteo
People are a good deal like the man
in the story, whose wife had UNDER
gone a number of surgical operations
until he was accustomed to think of
these things. She went away Tor a
visit and in a letter to the old man at
home she incidentally said that she
intended to have d kimona cut out
He at once wired: Don't have opera
ton on kimona until you get my
letter. ="
J. l. Brady of Lawrence is another
member who owns a, newspaper and
sends it a letter about the proceed
ings. In the Lawrence World ne
throws p. c. Young of Wilson a de-
served bouquet Brady says:
"P. C. Young has surprised every
body He started in early taking a
hand in everything and has held out
He is the only one of the new mem
berS who went off on the first dash
who has not fallen down. Young is
considerabl of a fellow. If you will
send me an extra copy of this paper
1 will lay it on his desk 1 have an
idea that he is a man who enjoys at
tention of the right sort. And this
is a friendly notice. I like Young.
He does not have any polish and less
hair but he has q good mind.
you cannot tell anything about the
influence of n member by the part
he takes on the floor. Some of the
greatest ones are members of impor-
tant committees and are factors in
legislation. For instance, no one
hears of Plumb on the floor. but he
is strong in committee and is man
Here is one for -.Bin'' Hackney from
the Atchison Globe: col. Bill Hackney
married man and comes from Winfieid 4
special to the Globe says that he has a
very happy wife, and is a good husband
The suffragists will claim that his wife
has to go out of his presence backward,
but there is nothing in that"
Bent Murdoch finds evidence of aristoc-
racy at the state house. He says in the
Heve it. but it's true. A cigar stand which
occupies a corner in the state house seems
to be wei patrontzed- The boss, of the
concern told me today that he sells more
ten cent straight than any other kind
Next comes three for d quarter. He quite
OFTEN has inquiry for two for a quarter
but six for twenty-five cents are slow
sale. Not long ago three for a quarter
was the legislative limit Toba eco chew
ing is not seemingly fashionable. We men
ton these things to show that Kansas is
rapidly adopting eastern ways, possibly
and is not stingy. It's too awful cold
here for old codgers to go about.
