A BODY BLOW FOR KANSAS.

The supreme court of Kansas dealt
the bleeding state" body blow yes
terday when it handed down the de-
cision declaring unconstitutional the
oil refinery law passed last winter by
the Kansas legislature. This law,
which provided for the appropriation Of
$4,000 to build an independent oil re-
finery at Peru, Kas., was considered
the strongest card in the states game
with the Standard Oil company, but
when the attempt was made to declare
the Standard out of business in the
state, the Rockefeller corporation at
tackled the law. The supreme court
waded through it and decided 1t uncon-
stitutional and Kansas must now begin
all over again.
Even Tom Lawson says he cannot
suggest any plan for helping Kansas
to get out of the trap into which she
has stumbled. But Governor Hoch, it
is said, has not yet given up the fight
and it may that he will evolve
scheme that will pass inspection in the
supreme court and will bring about the
emancipation Of Kansas.
