WHAT MONEY CAN'T 10.

The case Of Charles 7. Yerkes shows
that there are some things money can
not do. A man who has done time in
the penitentiary, regardless of his guilt
or innocence, cannot buy, push or win
his way to social standing with
money. He can be the biggest rascal
on earth and hold his standing so long
as he has money and can escape the
disgrace Of punishment in the peniten-
tiary@Chanute Sun.

sas 1t is evident the legislature of the
state intended the appropriation
should be used in the manner followed

ness OF bushwhacking politicians,
nothing would ever have been thought
Of it. This is demonstrated by the
fact that both branches of the legisla-
ture passed a resolution forgiving
Governor Bailey the debt. The state
of Kansas recently purchased a new
home for its governor, a large and ex-
pensive building, which It is impos-
