The news comes from southeastern
Kansas that Judge T. ]. Flannelly will
be renominated for district judge in
the AIontgomery-I.abet district, not
withstanding the menacing fight that
was started against him a few weeks
ago. While the people Of those eoun-.
ties are primarily Interested. this news
viii be received with qualification by
people all over the state who know the
situation down there and who like to
see a good official endorsed.
For Judge Flannelly is a good Judge.
The opposition to him has arisen from
two causes: First, because of his decis-
ion in a suit involving the Kansas
Natural Gas company; and second, be
cause he has backed UP County Attor-
ney Wagstaff IN enforcing the Jaw in
Montgomery county.
The greater part of the Instruction
was caused by the gas company decis-
ion. The people Of Montgomery county
were. Of course, largely opposed to al
lowing the Kansas Natural Gas com
pany to pipe gas out Of the county. and
when Judge Flannelly decided that the
gas company had the right under the
law, to lay its lines, the people were
disappointed. But Judge FlanneIy was
not responsible for the law. and the fact
that he interpreted 1t correctly is shown
by his being upheld by the supreme
court.
The manner in which jointists and 9th
er 1aw-breakers have been sent to jail
in Judge F1annelly's court. IN the prose
cutions brought by County Attorney
Wagstah, is well known, and that has
set the law-brealring element against
him, which. of itself ought to com
mend him to every lover Of law and
decency.
It is therefore a matter of satisfac-
ton to people outside OF his district as
well as his friends inside, that good
judge like Judge Flannelly IS to be con
tinued on the bench because Of his good
ranora

FROM OTHER PENS


The proprietor of a newly furnished
uptown hotel has given an order to a
publishing house for 200 Bibles. Il
have been hearing a lot lately he
said, about hotel guests going wrong
because there were no Bibles in their
rooms. Several years ago 1t was the
practice Of many hotels to include d
Bible in the list Of necessary furniture
Gradually the people who were back
of the enterprise lost interest. and the
books disappeared. 1t now seems that
many persons, particularly commercial
travellers, complain of missing them.
Frequently, they read a chapter befc1 e
going to bed just to drive away the
blues, but now they never get a chance
to look inside a Bible. That being the
case, it shall not be said that any man
stopping at my house Is driven to per-
dition for the want Of a Bible. New

N THE SECOND DISTRICT.

The nomination Of Charles F. Scott
Tor congressman from the Second dis
trict means that the Second district
viii be Wen represented in congress
during the next two years. It would
also have been just as well represented
had Mr.. Scott been defeated and Henry
Allen elected.
Mr. Scott is g clean. able gentleman.
He is not as aggressive and out
spoken as Mr. Allen, but he is upright
in his personal life and he stands for
RooseveItism in politics. The same
thing Is true of Mr.. Allen. It is great
" to be regretted that the recent cam
paign in the Second district was char
acterized by bitter and abusive per
sonalities by the friends OF the respec-
tive candidates.
Mr.. Aliens defeat can be attributed
to three things. First. he was made
the object OF the bitterest personal at
taeks by the chairman of the Repub-
hcan state committee In fact. the
campaign was regarded as a contest
between Allen and Stubs rather than
between Scott and Allen. It is undoubt-
edly true that the attacks of Mr.. Stubs
on Allen carried with them consider
able influence.
Second. Mr.. Allen was cursed with
the support Of Thomas T. Kelly. and
this cost him hundreds Of votes in
Miami and Johnson counties. where
Kelly is best known. Two years ago.
when Kelly was fighting Allen, Miami
county was overwhelmingly for him,
and Saturday he got a bare majority.
Most Of Kelly's friends in Miami coun-
~ are Democrats. and a large number
Of Republicans voted against Allen be-
cause Kelly was for him. And Kelly
was for him because he hates Stubbs
worse than he does Allen. This is one
point in Mr.. Stubs favor
The third point that contributed
largely to Mr.. Aliens defeat was the
tremendous vote in Mr.. SCOTS home
county. Allen. This gave Mr.. Scott
a majority Of upwards OF 1000. and the
total Republican vote in the county in
a presidential year is only $500.
Each side was Confident Of the re-
suit IN the district on the eve of the
primaries, but it seems that the Stubs
Scott party had the more reason for
confidence. although a great many Of
those versed in politics believed Allen
would be nominated.
In a way. the result IS a victory for
" R Stubs, and it viii tend to make
Stubs stronger in the Republican state
convention on May than he would
otherwise have been. In fact, Mr.
Stubs was making fight for prestige.
His defeat in the Second district in ad-
dition to the strong opposition to him
over the state would have been a ser
ious matter TO him

His Dress Suit.

There is a young man living up on
Ogden street who vows he'll never
wear full dress. He is just 20 years Of
age and last week his father gave him
a full dress suit. The young mans
fraternity held small banquet at
downtown hotel the other night and
he attended dressed in his new swal-
loW-taI. To say he was proud of that
suit would be putting it mildly. His
crowd held forth at a table in the cor
ner of the dining room. Over at
table near the door was a, young and
weary pretty girl seated with her
father and mother. The youth liked
the looks of the girl and found it nee
essary to leave the room several times
to buy cigarettes. Each time he
passed the girl he Strengthened up and
showed his new dress suit off to best
advantage. The fourth time he went
out, however, something occurred that
didn't please him. He was just pass

TO him. The young man stopped.

he'd meet the girl. The cigar was
quickly brought. The old gentleman
dropped a quarter on the table. Keep
