In other words the committee said the
Crawford could not be made safe, yet
the Crawford trust has for year and
half forced Topeka theater goers to
go to this old fire trap, or else stay
away from theatrical attractions alto
gether.
The moral of this is that the Grand,
which can be made a first-class house,
should be placed in repair at once and
opened for the coming season. The
time is getting short in which this can
be accomplished. The Crawford man

Oyama seems to be taking his time
about 1t, as we'll as everything else
that comes in his way.
It's good thing that the street rail-
way franchise allows the railway COM
pany to carry freight, otherwise the
hogs who hang on to seats, regardless
of the fact that ladies are standing,
would have to walk.
One of the victims of the Fourth is
still wondering whether he held on too
long, or whether it went off too quick
Mr.. Coleman denies that all of his
opinions have been reversed by the
courts. This may be true. There are
probably some that have not yet been
passed up to the courts.
When a woman wears hair that is
not her own it is said to be a sign of
vanity; when a man wears the same
sort of hair, it is generally on one of
his shoulders, and indicates that he
didn't brush his coat after last nights
call.
Some people say it is improper to
eat corn on the cob, and others that
it is improper to eat corn off the cob;
so what are we to do?
Those bluffs down at Kansas City
are pretty big, but they don't compare
with the bluff Tom Kelly puts up.
A woman may think a man is idiotic
but down deep in her heart she
changes her views if he proposes to
her.
A mans good fortune sometimes
works the other way. H U. Nudge is

Lawson says he rarely talks in Bos-

as he got to Kansas he talked himself
sick.
Six years ago Kansas had three rural
routes, which were about all there
We're in the country. Now Kansas
alone has 1,463.
Ever see a fly get stuck on some fly

Just as like as not it will get stuck

Conner Davies takes occasion to
bark back in Kansas history few years
and make few comments about John
w. Leedy, the last Populist governor
Kansas will ever have. Conner says:

since he has gone into political OBJ
| livion, which he has never seen and
never will see. To say compliment
| tary thing about him now cannot be
charged with any selfish motive, GER
tainly-as he is all in so far as the
| politics of Kansas is concerned. It is
one of the pleasantest memories of our
/ life that We were on intimate terms
with Governor Leedy, when he was in
| Office. We believe he talked as freely
to US as he would to his closer political
| advisors and we think we know him
well. We do not think there was ever
a man in the gubernatorial Office more
conscientious that he to give the state
an honest and honorable administra-
ton of its affairs. There never was a
nervier man in the same office than
John w. Leedy. Maybe he was not
polished. Maybe he was a bit uncouth
in some of his mannerisms. No doubt
he was bit prolific in the use of ex-
| pletives, and his talk was embellished
with a few cuss words that would not
look well in a Sunday school paper
but his heart was in the right place
and he had the courage of his convic-
tiorYs. One day he was admonished
| that if he followed a certain policy he
would not be reelected. Leedy said
he didn't care for that, he'd rather be
governor one term than to be elected
twice and be no governor at all. He
was a fearless man and his most
earnest thoughts were in behalf of the
great mass of the people who earn
their bread by the sweat of their faces
He hated snobbery as the devil hates
holy water. AS history goes he will
not hold a lofty place on its pages
but by those who. knew him well he
was always appreciated at what he
was WORTH
