KANSAS C0l4AENT
suPPosTNG We DO?


John Brown laments that Kansas
may soon lose 400 of its 1900 prisoners
in the state penftentiary, as result OF
Oklahoma statehood. and that IN con-
sequence some of the prison workshops
will be compelled to cease business
Now wouldn't that be terrible2 Does
John Brown desire Kansas to start out
on tour of crime in order to reflll the
ranks2 Does he think it win be dis
grace to the state to have 500 instead
of 1900 state prisoners2 OklahoTna
will undoubtedly take care OF her own
prisoners after statehood is in proper
working order. This will cause a
shortage of workmen in some OF the
Lansing mines. factories and shops,
which have been expanded to give en-.
ployment to the Oklahoma prisoners
Thee state needs about 400 men in the
coal mines in winter times. and 300
men are employed in the off season.
Then there is the binding twine plant
the furniture factory, the overall fac
tory, the leather works and employ
ment for 100 men in taking care of
the prison. It looks as If some OF
these things would have to be ellni-
mated There are probably a great
many business men who wish they
might all be eliminated. Indeed Kan
sas in fact has nothing to lose by the
removal Of the Oklahoma prisoners

How very sad it is that this young
lady is in heavy mourning and yet APP
pears in public. should think the
effect would be too much for her"
The second woman. being a South
erner, was we'll enough informed on
Confederate matters to be able to re-
assure the visitor. She explained that
the young woman's mourning was not
personal. Maryland in Confederate
matters is always so represented.
During the war, when entertain
ments were given in the South for the
benefit of the soldiers and hospitals
and the Southern states were repre-
sented by women, Maryland was al
ways in mourning because that state
did not succeed in getting into the
Confederacy, though, of course, it fur
nished many soldiers to the cause.
