What has been the result Of this
piece Of Legislation?
Following every big race meeting
there are disclosures OF populations and

who did not have the moral strength
to withstand the temptation. Fully 9O

A Kansas Epigram's History.

From the New York Press.
Not long ago Mr.John d Rockefeller,
at reception for his sons Sunday

"There is 70 much bad in the best OF
US aud so much good in the worst Of US
that IL Lardly behOoves any OF us TO
talk about the rest OF us."
Perhaps no living American could
have better reason for putting such
sentiment in.o circulation. Recently
the chaplain Of the house Of representa-
tiyes used 1t in his opening prayer, and
the fitness Of its application here was
not denied By any member who had
been indicted or felt that he had com.
nitted an indictable Offense. Mean.

authorship Of the phrase. Mr.. Rookie
