And why isn't this true all over Kan
sas? The Troy Chief says: The St.
Joseph newspapers depend upon Doni-
phan county for q large part of their
support, yet they take every opportuni-
ty to slur the prominent citizens Of this
county whenever there is a campaign
on. The proper thing for the people
her today is to cut out the Missouri pa
pers and patronize the Kansas dailies.
The Kansas dailies are as a class the
best newspaper in the world. They
cover the field in much better manner
than the Missouri dailies do and their
news is principally Kansas news, and
that is what the people of the state
want. The telegraph news is pretty
much the same in all the papers, as the
Associated Press furnishes 1t to all the
papers in the circuit Missouri papers
have always tried to run Kansas poll
ties. Between campaigns they work
all kinds of gratis to get the subscrip-
lions and then roast the best people in
the community. The way to get back
at them Is to subscribe for the Kansas
dailies and cut out the Missouri papers,
which are lacking in most of the fea-
lures which go to make uD good
newspaper. and in which the Kansas
dailies lead the world-Wichita Eagle.
