POLITICAL GOSSIP
Mrs. Burton VIII Issue a Public
Statement.
A Reply to Governor HOch's
Manifesto.
ONLY STRIKES AT ACTS.
Doesn't Refer to Personal
Character of People.
Facts About Man Who Defeated
dr.. Mead.

Mrs. Ella S. Burton. who is cam
paigning throughout the state against
the reelection of Governor E. W.
Hoch. because as she alleges, he has
turned over the text book commission
of the state to the Vaccinations of the
book trust, proposes to issue a state
nlent within a few days naming men
on the commission. whom she declares
are friendly to the book trust and who
with D. o. McCray constitute a ma
jority of the commission. This state
ment viii be made by Mrs. Burton in
reply to the one issued by Governor
Hoch in which he discussed the per-
sonnet of the commission he appointed
and stated that they were men, whose
characters were unassailable. and men
who could be relied upon to protect the
interests of the people of the state in
any issue that might develop with the
book trust. Mrs. Burton does not pro-
pose to attack the personal charac-
ters of the men she has in mind but
she says she has evidence to show that
four other men on the commission be-
sides McCray are and always have been
friendly to the book trust. and she
proposes to make this evidence public.
Three addresses were made by Mrs.
Burton last week, one at Burlingame,
one at Lyndon and one on Saturday
night at Emporia. She spoke in the
Wigwam at Emporia to a large crowd
and she said today that this was the
most successful meeting she has ad-
dressed so far. She said it was evident
that the people were with her in this
fight and that after the meeting at
Emporia was over. many Republicans
came to her and told her that they
were not only going to vote against
4ooh but were going to work hard for
the election of Harris, because of the
book trust business. Mrs. Burton
spoke last night at Madison and has
engagements to speak every night this
week.
She emphasized her statement of a
few days ago that she was not receiv-
ing a cent of remuneration from the
Democratic state central committee
for the campaign she is making and
that she is making it on her own re-
sponsihility and for the purpose OF
freeing Kansas from the book trust.
Beloit newspapers have kindly words
to say for B. F. Bracken the Republi-
can nominee for the legislature, who

Curtis fight in that county

that time putting on their suits and
it was with these men that Coach
Weede wanted him to report.

for me to take any such measures, but
I feel that it was the only thing 1

company which has been exhibiting at
Fort Wayne, Ind. had a. narrow escape
from death near here today. The show
people were in a special car which left
the track and was held suspended over

The coach bearing the amusement
company's performers and employees,
along with the private car Of the man

being Marion Ind.
while backing the cars on to the Big

Attorneys representing the Missouri
Pacific railway today fled in the Kan

The Larabee flour mills are located at

TOLD YOU 50.

The long predicted came to pass;
A little fnmsy flow of gas
Took on a. fierce and flaming mood
And broke the morning solitude.
And crowds OF people rushed away
To that fall morning matinee
The play was older than the race,
AS old as any orb in space.
The same old play that Adam saw
When he first looked around in awe.
The chart was opened on the street,
And those who could, reserved a seat;
While others as we must presume,
We're satisfied with standing room
Red tongues Of flame leaped high In air,
Black clouds Of smoke rolled here and
while men gazed on their neighbors' 5
woe
And proudly said: ~ told you So"
For chance will sometimes give the clue
BY which these CrOakers came at YOU
And try to make you feel as small
As pinholes in q solid wall;

VIII sometimes happen to be right,
And then swell out four cubits wide
And put on airs and fan his pride,
And strut about, and flap and crow,
And Eneer and say: Il told you soi''

Opposing Opinions,

most curious complication has arisen
over the State road improvement law,
causing almost endless discussion among
lawyers because it contains problem
which the Court of Errors and Appeals
will have to untangle.
The remarkable discovery has been
made that the Supreme Court within eight
months promulgated two decisions dia-
metrically opposed to each other. One
must be absolutely repudiated as all at
tempts to reconcile the two opinions have
failed.
The point involved is the liability of
property owners along public road who
petitioned for its improvement under the
general road act of 1895, to pay their
share of the 10 per cent of the improve
ment in cases where the work was not
completed until after the passage of the
road act of 1908, which casts the burden
of the entire cost on the state and county
The late Judge Dixon wrote an opinion
in the case of 1. Snowden Haines against
the Freeholders of Burlington county on
certiorari to review road assessment,
holding that the act of 1895 was revoked
by the act of 1908; that the assessment
must stand and that the property owners
we're liable for their share of the assess
ment.
In the case of Cortelyou against An
dersOn, involving exactly the same CUES
ton, in Somerset county, an opinion filed
eight months later by Justice Pitney,
holds that the road law of 1896 is repealed
by the act of 1908. One of the cases will
now go to the Court of Errors and APP
pealS as a test case,
