TO WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE EFT AL
The concentrated attention of the edi-
tors of the Emporia Gazette, the Olathe
Mirror, the Marion Record and num-
erous other Kansas papers, is directed
to the result of last Saturdays primaries
in Shawnee county. These gentlemen
have been insisting that Topeka shall
become a 1aw-abiding and law-respect-
ing city before it asks the rest of the
state to join in a semicentenniaI cele-
bration here in 1911. Conversely. it has
been reasonable to suppose that If To-
peka did so these numerous newspaper
editors would join in the effort to make
the celebration a great success. For that
reason they are invited to read the
story of last Saturdays primaries.
The newspapers named-with others
very properly insisted that Topeka, as
the state capital, ought to set good
example before other Kansas town in
the matter of obedience to law. It GER
tainly does not look right that law
should be trampled under foot and
spurned at the seat of governmental
though this is no reason why Wichita
and Leavenworth should also do wrong.
But Topeka had a far better. reason
than her example to the rest of The
state for voting as she did Saturday.
It was for self-protection, and to make
Topeka once more the cleanest and best
little city in the Mississippi valley. 9th
er towns have a right to their own opiu-
! ions. of course, but it is true that natur-
I ally no city in this part of the earth
possesses the advantages for homes that
] Topeka does. Topeka is pre-eminently
/ a city of homes. Its schools and col
] Il
streets-barring the pavement on kan
sas avenue-the fact that it is the capt.
tai Of the best state in the Union-thsse
and many more reasons make it pre-
eminently a desirable place Of resi-
dence.
It is true that some grafters and law
breakers. with the aid of certain power
] full political influences, have been for a
time in control in Topeka and have
been overriding the laws, but the people
spoke in no uncertain tones on Satur-
day. and the law-breakers must go
either to jail or elsewhere.
Now Topeka proposes to get ready
for the celebration in 1911 Topeka
wishes to have the exposition clean n
every respect. fully representative IF
the great state whose semicentennial it
will celebrate. While for some minor
reasons there may be a little opposition
to it in some places, the State Journal
believes that the people of Kansas as a
whole are overwhelmingly in favor Of
the exposition. It viii be a party at
which Kansas viii entertain the world,
Topeka is willing to stand much of the
expense, but the state, whose party it
will be. should also help. as the state as
a whole will reap great benefit from it.
Therefore it is hoped that the En-
porfa Gazette. the Olathe Mirror, the
Marion Record. and these other numer-
Gus papers that demanded that Topeka
should "clean house" before the state
should make an appropriation fol-
1911, will now step to the front and help
make the exposition a success.

KANSAS COAMENT

A. ". HARRIS FOR GOVERNOR
Ex-senator ". A. Harris is suggest
ed by someone as the Democratic
candidate for governor in the coming
Senator Plumb. Mr.. Harris was the
most conspicuous representative or
Kansas in the United States senate.
The late Senator Ingalls, was more
gifted orator and q more picturesque
character in many respects, but for
character and ability-and consequent
in1uence-Mr. Harris stands out dis
tinctly among all the Kansas senators
since Plumb's day. Though serving
under the disadvantage of being Of
the minority, which largely inter-
fered with his usefulness. he was rec
ognized in the halls of congress and
even at the executive mansion as a
man of rare elements of statesman
ship, the foundation of which was a
broad mind and superb honesty His
conservatism may have at times Of
rended his own partisans, but he left
the senate credited by Republicans
and Democrats alike with the princi-
pal essential qualities of a great man.
Mr.. Harris will not desire the guber-
material nomination at the hands of
his party He will doubtless decline
with emphasis to accept. But the
democracy Of Kansas has given the
opportunity for an appreciation of
his merits, and may succeed in con-
vincing him that he owes the party
the use Of his name as their candi-
date and the state the advantages of
his superior ability and statesman
ship in case the voters elect to have
him as their governor.
For those virtues which make for
honest and able government, Mr..
Harris is the greatest Kansan of to-
day. though he may lack in those
faults which make one popular as q
party politician-Fort Scott Tribune

because of the llnseed meal being the
residium of matured seed, while cot
tonseed is from q blossom not fully
matured. 1t is best to feed linseed
meal with some other food, such as
ground grain, or by sprinkling it on
finely cut bulky food. 1t brightens the
plumage, assists in regulating the

real value 1t is best to begin with u
teaspoonful once a day for each adult
fowl, gradually increasing to two or
three times that quantity, according to
the other foods allowed. No injury
ever arises from its use and there is
no risk in such thing as an over
dose. Containing considerable oil ana
