A Most Favorable Sion.

A Kansas City paper of the 9Th
says:
A Missouri Republican county
convention explicitly indorsed the
administration of Governor Folk,
a Democrat. Now a Kansa S
Democratic county convention has
instructed its nominee for the
Legislature to ignore party lines
IN favoring or opposing measures.
and to look only to the welfare of
the state. These are only a few
straws showing the certain drift
toward popular government in its
true sense, and away from ma
chimes, BOSSES, corporations and
all other elements that have sur
prised the rights of the people in
debating many of the laws of
states and of the country"

CONTEMPORARY COMMENT.
Brief Paragraphs From Our NelqhbOr
Exchanges.

This thing of every public man
in Kansas being turned into an
Interrogation point is becoming
embrassing.
President Ripley should have
initiated the action of the Penn
sylvania road, that, to head off a
two-cent a mile passenger fare
law, put in the two-cent fare
themselves.
Candidates for the legislature
are not responding promptly to
the Lawrence Gazette's question,
Do you or do you not indorse
the peekaboo sbirtwaistl' They
say they want to look into the
ihoelOi luIliltT.
1t has been said that the
Chicago packers utilize all of the
pig but the squeal. Itlooks''n now as
though they would have a chance
to use even that.
A woman at the University of
Wisconsin says that women never
will be free as long as they wear
petticoats. That may be true,
but if the Deticoats cost enough
money there are women who
would prfer them to freedom.
An exchange tells of the three
s:ingiest men on record. The
first will not drink water unless it
comes from a neighbours well,
the second forbids his family to
write anything but a small hand
as it wastes ink to make large let.
tiers, and the third stops the
clocks at night to save the wear
and tear on the machinery. All
of them refuse to take a news.

terrible strain on the spectacIes to

A Crying Shame.

1t is not often that complaints
are made about the roads in this
county, but there are many just
complaints made about the bad
condition of the Ellinwood road,
or that part of it which should be
kept in repair by Great Bend
township. Every man who drives
up from Ellinwood to this city
has a kick to register. And the
complaint is justified, for the
west end of that Ellinwood road
is something fierce, especially for
a week or so after a rainy spell.
Will not the road master give il
some needed attentions

Two women deputy sheriffs, the first

Sheriff Merritt since he has been in

CHICAGO, June 17.-Marriage may
be a failure in some quarters, but as
a preventive of crime in Chicago 1t Is
pronounced success. Hugo Grosser,
city statistician, says so, and as he
has been holding the watch on Chicago
doings for the last year and has just
summarized the city's department
marks, along with other things, it is
admitted he ought to know.
During the last twelvemonth that
Mr.. Grosser has been checking up on
the behavior of Chicago people he has
found that there are 4S,157 unmarried
offenders, while only 20,S0O married
men and women were taken into GUS
tody. This makes a total of 6S,957,
which would Seem to be a great many
If we did not stop to remember that
Chicago has nearly 1000, 900 inhabitants
and all of them cannot be expected to
be good. In reality it is only 2613
more offenders than ran afoul of the
police in 1904, which shows that Chi
cago is increasing in crime as we'll as
in other things.
Men and women between the ages
of thirty and forty years, according
to Mr.. Grosser, have been the most
successful in the quest for trouble, al
though those who range from twenty
five to thirty years run them a close
second. There were $50 arrests of Of
