STANDING UP FOR KANSAS.

The election is pregnant with mean-
ing to the Kelly-Burton faction Of the
Republican party in Kansas, and to
their henchmen, whether in this or
some other county. The people Of
Kansas are as keen and sensitive
and are only waiting for an oppor-
tunity to show the violators of law
and the officials who permit it, that
the lesson has been well learned. Men
with a record for boodling, grating or

chance is offered. Kansas will be in
the front of the procession, with a
fully equipped band wagon under the
banner of Honesty in Public ONCE

A GOOD Law.

In the course Of its blundering, the
late legislature passed a few good laws.
among them the reciprocal demurrage
law. Before the law was passed, if a
shipper kept a car more than specified
number of hours he was compelled to
pay demurrage. Now if he advances
one-fourth of the freight charges when
he orders a car, he is entitled to demur-
rage from the railroad If it fails to get
him a car within a certain number Of
hours. The shippers are getting cars
just when they want them. It is poor
rule that won tW9rk both ways, and the
demurrage affair was a poor one until
the last legislature took a turn at it.
