KANSAS COMAENT



Former Governor Bailey has paid the
state the money he used for his grocery
Dill The attorney general before he
used this money told Governor Bailey
that the law was plain in giving him
the right to use the money appropriated
Tor maintenance for his grocery bills
ana the governor paid other bills in the
maintenance out of his own pocket.
Ihese DIS that he paid out of his own

been legally allowable. The governor
acted on the best legal advice the state
provided, and he has been made to pay
the money back on a mere technical8ty-

that man whom every one knows is
thoroughly disreputable. who has evad-
ed and violated laws with impunity, and
has prohted thereby-it is q shame that
this man should be allowed to pursue
W. J. Bailey in this outrageous manner.
If Kansas ever had an honest governor,
it was w. j. Bailey. He had bad advice
legally, and acted upon. and it cost him
81, 500; he had bad advice politically, and
it cost him his job as governor. But for
all that personally w. J. Bailey is a
brave, honest man. and some day he
viii come into his kin gdon. The people
of Kansas are just as ashamed of the
way they treated Bailey as he is of the
advice he took, and before long he and
the people will kiss and make up, and
he viii know enough to take his own adj
vice and let his scheming friends pad
die their own canoes. That is about the
only way man can get on, in politics
or out of it.-Emporia Gazette.

Men have two kinds of ambition.
one for dollar-making the other for
life-making. Some turn all their
ability, education. health, and energy
toward the first of these, and call the
result success. Others turn them to-

fitness, and the world is very apt to
call them failures; but history calls
them successes. The highest service
you can ever render the world, the

A Boy Immigrant.

An immigrant of an unusual
type who was admitted by the
inspectors at the ferry, Friday
afternoon was bright-eyed Mex
lean lad of thirteen years, Jose
Castro by name, who came from a
ranch in the interior of Tamaulipas,
about 20 miles from Matamoros.
The inspectors were much interest
ed in this youthful immigrant,
who informed them that he wished
to come to Brownsville to attend
school. He was acquainted with
a certain teacher here, and hoped
to be able to get work teaching
children who know less than him
self, when not occupied with his
own studies, in order to pay for
his board and tuition. The bright,
ready answers and determined
mien of the boy, who at the same
time seemed to be quite uncon-
scious of himself, impressed his
questioners with the idea that he
possesses a character which, if
properly developed may make of
him man of unusual ability.
He had learned little by his own
efforts, he said, and was anxious
to educate himself if possible. So
he had put what clothes he had
into a bundle, not forgetting an
overcoat, gathered up the fe =
books he possessed, and borrowed
a horse to ride to Matamoros,
making the trip in FIVE days, hav-
ing stopped for the nights at
friendly ranches on the way.
Sturdily carrying his bundle under
his arm, this earnest young seeker
after learning reminded one of the
story of Ben Franklin, who first
enteled Philadelphia in quest of
work, carrying a loaf of bread
under his arm. A boy with such
determination to make his way as
lite Jose has shown ought to make
his mark in the world.
