ance was related to an Enterprise
representative yesterday by Paul

partment of the Reynolds department
store. Mr.. Zscheile's wife is with her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. E. NJ. Young, in
Burlington, Kan, Saturday morning
at about AIS O'Clock Mr.. Zscheile
awoke suddenly under the impression
that he had heard the crying of a baby.
The incident made such an impression
upon him that he raised the curtains
to investigate whether there was not a
little child somewhere near his room,
but found none. When Mr.. Zscheile
arrived at the store he found awaiting
him a telegram announcing the fact
that his wife had presented him with
an eight pound boy. Mr.. Zscheile says
that the telegram was no surprise to
him as the vision of the early morn
ing had made such an impression on
him that he was certain the announce
ment would arrive some time during
the day." 4
The antipass movement has appar-
emily struck the circuses also, accord
ing to this from the Atchison Globe:
"Who says there is nothing new under
the sun? When a circus comes to
town. the agent usually makes a con-
tract with the newspapers for adver-
Using. The order he signs calls for
so much money, and so many tickets.
These tickets are given for local no
tees; for mentions of the show. But
the order for advertising does not
carry with it an order for tickets. The
advance agent says press agent VIII
call the day of the show, and provide
tickets. We have been in the news
paper business a great many years,
and never before heard of this rule.
The press agent called today, and
checked up the local notices. We
never before had our free notices
checked up by a circus man. We
never knew a press agent to check up
the advertising; the advertising bill is
paid on presentation, and that Is all
there is of it. We do not find fault
with the Gentry way; we simply men
ton it as a new way. The Globe is
29 years old. This is the first circus
day in it's history when every en-
ploye of the paper. from devil up,
didn't get circus ticket, The world

MR.. CRUNINIER's aPIECE."

While a Farewell Address from
a retiring state chairman was unpre-
cedented, there was no reason in the
word why Schuyler drummer should
not have made one when he quit his
job as head of the Republican state
committee of Kansas. This paper
rather admires the man who has suf-
ficient originality and force Of charac-
ter to smash a precedent now and
then, whether the precedent needs
Smashing or not.
There may have been no real occa-
sion for Mr.. Crummer's speech, but 1t
isn't likely that. any better chance to
work it off will ever present itself. Of
course, 1t was in reality an attack on
the Square Dealers, and this is as good
a time as any to hit the Square Deal
ers a few ticks.
It is true. as Mr.. drummer points
out, that the last legislature was not
wholly bad. 1t passed a considerable
number of exceedingly wholesome
measures, some of which are enumer-
ated in the retiring chairman's Fare
well Address. 1t would have been i'm
possible for any legislature to wholly
disregard the demands the people of
Kansas made for progressive legisla-
ton. The people got much that they
asked for. They did not get all the
maximum freight rates they desired.
nor did they get the privilege of NOM
mating state officers and United States
senator by direct primary, but the next
legislature will attend to that.
However, the Square Dealers ought
not to object to Mr.. Crummer's re-
marks about them. He helped to stir
up the animals a little-and the ami
mails have been pretty quiet of late.
If no one attacked the Square Dealers
the people of the state would pay no
attention to them. The people are too
busy with the green bug and the price
of wheat, and listing corn, to think
much about politics. 1t Is only when
some one hits the Square Deal pro-
positions a few ticks that the public
takes any interest in them at this time
of year. Mr.. Crummer's address was
really a good thing for the Square
Deal cause
