The oldest newspaper in the state
Of Kansas, the Troy Chief, viii begin
1ts dftieth year next month. For many
years under the editorship of the noted
Sol Miller. it was a power in Kansas.
After his death q few years ago it
experienced some vicissitudes, but the
present editor, H, J. Calnan, has again
placed 1t in the front rank Of Kansas
weekIies. The Troy Chief was a
healthy publication before Kansas was
admitted to the Union. Men who are
now old and gray-headed first learned

William Allen White attempts to
wind up the "What's-the- Matter-with-
Kansas" controversy and put cap on
81 with this confession: THE Leaven-
worth Post enters Senator Burton into
the contest for the questionable honor
Of writing What's the Matter with
Kansas To end the dispute the Ga
zette may as well make a confession.
The article was really written by Al
exander Dowie as a musical comedy
for Grover Cleveland and Lydia E.
Pinkham, who we're thinking Of going
on the stage. When the theatrical
trust refused to stage the piece owing
20 its elaborate scenic requirements.
the Gazette took it. revised It from a
musical comedy to a geometrical prop
osition. and printed 1t. This really
should end the controversy.

The recent Republican county con
vention in jewell county adopted an
anti-pass resolution and instructed its
delegates to the state and congress
aional conventions to pay their own
fare instead of going on passes. Yet
st Is asserted that nine of the eleven
Jewell delegates to the congressional
convention at Lincoln did not pay fare.
The State Journal does not know the
inside facts in the case. but If this as
sertion IS true. it is willing to bank on
the proposition that Frank Bevington,
who represented Jewell county in the
legislature of 1903. was one of the two
delegates to Lincoln who obeyed the
instructions of their convention and
paid heir own fare.

KANSAS c0MNENT
WHITES CONFESSION


It is only fair to add that today the
railroads are for Curtis just as they
were for Long three years ago. Curtis
has proved himself a willing and pa
tient waiter, and now it is his turn.
The Gazette has never claimed that
the railroads were for Curtis in the
Long election; but the railroads did
control the Curtis forces in that fight,
and when Stanley needed five votes
to beat Long the writer hereof went
to Curtis friends and found that the
railroads We're in power there, and that
Stanley could not have the votes, be-
cause the railroads feared Stanley
even though Curtis himself preferred
Stanley to Long. At that time the af-
faint was blind and could not see the
railroads behind Long; SO deponent
helped Stanley to go to Long. But it
was choice between two evils, and
it seemed then, that Long. with his
fine mind, and his great opportunity
would not get tied up with an outfit
seeking to keep the people under the
dc nination of an unjust distribution
of the wealth produced by this nation.
But whatever may have been the ap-
parent situation three years ago, no one
can accuse the Gazette of failing to
follow the light concerning the rail-
roads in Kansas politics, since that
time. Every man makes a mistake
once in a while; the test comes when he
finds it out.-EmpOria Gazette.

The Springfield Republican thinks
that "the Kansas county whose Repub-

must leave we'll enough alone, must
be a place where no life insurance is

KANSAS LAND

A quarter section of Eagle township
land was sold this week to party
from Dakota for. even $4,000. There
are but seventy acres Of the land be-
ing cultivated, the balance of it being
mostly broken pasture land; and the
very few years ago for $1,000, besides
has received a nice annual income off
of it in the way Of crops. If present
favorable conditions continue the next
decade as they have the past ten years
in Kansas. there is no way of prophecy
ing correctly how high Kansas land
will climb in price. It is freely pre-
dicted that $4,000 per quarter VIII be
no uncommon figure in another year
from now.-Kingman Leader.

It is difficult to get the trend of re-
cent political talk in Kansas. Why is
there so much fuss about Walter Ros-
coe Stubs controlling the next state
convention? Why should Mr. Stubs
control the convention? Is he candi-
date for any office before the next state
convention? Why wouldn't it be an
excellent idea for the delegates to con-
troll the convention. nominate whoever
they burned please and make plat
form that suited them and then go
home. 1t would be trifie revolution
airy, but Kansas people always have
been willing to try anything once. They
might try this plan this year.-Iola

Sunday. though gloomy and
rainy, did not keep many away
from the Bible school. Those who
came were rewarded by the gift of
"Stormy Day" badge
The audiences on Sunday were
delightful disappointment consid-
ering the weather, especially was it
gratifying to see 81 many men out
at the evening services.
"The Gospel and it's Relation to
Present Day Issues" will be the
subject of the sermon Sunday
night. Theme in the morning !:
The Transformation of Simon"
The pastor and his wife, not own
ing boat, failed to go to the Au.
dubon Township church last Sun
day afternoon. They intend to be
there every time, but circumstances
alter cases.
Elder ]. c. McQuerry, who tor
1nerly shepherded the flock here,
arrived in town Monday afternoon,
and drove to the residence of N. P.
christensen whose guest he ia. We
are glad to say that he has many
warm friends both within and
without the church who will be
pleased to meet him again.
The Bazaar to be given by the
ladies of the church on Saturday
the sth of December, promises TO
be in every way successful. They
will have quite number of useful
articles, and articles suitable for
Christmas presents, to sell. Then
in addition thereto they will serve
dinner aud supper sparing no
pains to make both meals deser-
wing of the most generous patron
age.
Let everybody remember the

Congregational church tomorrow
night at half-past seven O'Clock.
All the business and professional

ATLANTIC DEFEATED
Extra Team Composed of Old Has
BeenS Defeat Atlantic Boys with
a Score OF & too

"When the Atlantic high school
team reached Extra last Saturday
they found that they were up
against real members of the ele-
plant family. The Atlantic boys
held the Extra team throughout
the game, in spite of the fact that
their opponents outweighed them
by an average OF twenty pounds
to the man. 1t is said that two of
the Extra men once played on the
Ames team. The star playing for
Atlantic was done by Captain
Moon, Beckhart and Nichols. The
team work was better than it has
been for any time previous and the
Atlantic boys should feel good to
have held down Extra with the
score that they did. Fifteen min
ute halves were played, Harm acted
as referee and Fulton as umpire.
