NO MORE CUT PRICES.
Editors VIII Strive to Do Work Wen
Rather Than Cheap.

Kansas editors have become inocula-
tea with new germ. The prevailing
spirit OF the times has overtaken them
ana nenceforth they are to be classed
with the Dig captains of industry the
trust organizers and monoplists
Inc Kansas editors have decided that
there is no good going to come to them
either in the world to come or in the
good hard coin of the realm, by cutting
prices in trying to beat 1.-THE other fell
low to all the Job work in their re-
spctive towns
At the meeting of the members of
the Kansas Editorial association this
morning this subject was very thor
oughly discussed. The members of the
association expressed great admiration
for the system OF agreement to a sche-
work, as 1t is exemplifled in the Tope-
ka situation and in the other cities in
Kansas where the editors and printers
maintain an agreement of that sort.
A most laudable feature of the dis
cussion was the expressions brought
out that all editors and printers should
strive not to do work cheaDly but to
do 1t Well Strong arguments were put
forward for higher gade of work to
be used as an agument for getting new
business rather than the cutting Of
prices. go
The discussion of the subject was
per by j. p. Campbell of Clay Center,
Kan, on the subject. Does Job Print
ing Pay at Present Prices?"
The members decided that in many
instances job printing does not pay, and
various methods for economizing and
Systematically handling work with the
view Of increasing the profit were dis
cussed.
Miss Anna Carlson, of Lindsborg,
read a paper giving her opinions of
The Woman and the Newspaper" Her
paper was original and interesting.
The business of the association will
be closed up at the meeting this after
noon, and the election of officers will
take place. The convention will ad-
journ after the reception which will be
held this evening at o'clock at the
governors mansion.

The water pressure yesterday was
about the same as has been offered
for the past several months. At the

to the standard of the McEntire fire

difference to be worthy of note. The

Firemen Have Furious Battle With
Flames in Feed Store.

The second bad fire for Monday was
recorded last night at 9:4S. The feed

Baled hay to the amount of 80 to 40
tons occupied the north side, while the
flour and feed was stored on the south

known cause in the stock of hay and
had worked its way down into the
mass. It was necessary for the fire
department to remove about one-third
oI the stock of hay before the fire
could be fought effectively. The thielc
smoke added to the difficulties. The
fre department confined the blaze to
