SOME GOOD THINGs.

The Hutchinson News calls atten-
ton to the fact that the legislature
gave to the board of railroad COM
missioners authority and means to
the state, to intervene in behalf of
citizens of the state in the trial of
cases before the interstate commerce
commission. and appropriated $25, 900
to enable it to carry out the new pro-
visions. and also gave the board spe-
cffic power over passenger rates. These
are some of the good things that were
done. In our. great disappointment at
the senate's ohstinacy we forget that
by the late lamented legislature and
Mr.. Morgan the editor of the News,
contributed an important part in the
enactment of these good laws.-Salina

HER STATUS.

When Nature was infant. in the early
long ago,
She had no devoted parents to restrain
her acts, and so
She monkeyed with the buzz-saw, or, in
other words, picked up
The knack of making playthingS of the
chaos she'd kicked I'D.
At first she made a membrane, with a
breath of air inside,
And watched it go a-bobbing on the
oceans salty tide:
Then by coddling it little in her primal
incubator,
She turned out the gentle bivalve and the
naughty alligator.
Her play amusing almost any one
could see
Progression, bumped its progress with a
great celebrity;
And between the primal primate and the
Man she called human,
There seemed to be a yawning, so kind
Nature made Woman.
Now there. are those who doubtless have
the inpudence to think
Because of her position, Woman forms
the Missing Link,
But whatever were Ewes parents, and
it seems she must have had 'em,
She was capable of making quite a Mon
key out of Adam.

SENATOR VOTING

Senator I. d. Young arrived home
Tuesday evening. The people of this
senatorial district are of but one mind
as to his course this winter He has
been right on every question, and, with
twelve or fifteen other members of the
upper house, fought the railroads and
corporations every day during the ses-
sion. He began by voting against the
railroad candidate for senator. and
continued the good work by leading in
the fight for every good measure de-
manded by the people. He stands to-
day in the front rank among the
square dealers of the state. and the
people will undoubtedly call him up
higher.-Belcit Gazette.

THE WHOLE STORY

No bill could get through the Kansas
senate without first getting the con-
sent OF the railroads. That is the
whole story. It is hard to tell what
two years will bring about, but if an
election were held now those senators
would be hit by something about the
size of a comet.-Jewen Republican.

NOT WHAT THE PEOPLE WANTED
There is a discussion in progress be-
tween Governor Hoch and certain
members of the legislature in regard
to the recent defeat of the Fitzpatrick
primary election bill Hoch fastens
the responsibility for the failure of the
people to receive a primary law which
they have been demanding, upon the
mouse instead of the senate. The diff
ficulty with the governors position is
that the Fitzpatrick law was not, in

that 1t would be satisfactory and give
the people an opportunity to express,
unrestrained, their will as to who
should be the nominees of their re-
spective parties, would have been
equivalent to its repeal
The law did not recognize the right
OF the people to a direct primary ex-
cept on local officers. The complaint
OF the people is not that the railroads
control county conventions that nomi-
nate county officers, so much as it is
that they control state conventions.
what the people want is the right to
vote Tor the nomination of state Of

primary law did not give the people
such right. 1t provided that the

the clients are rigidiy adhered 70, but the
points of saIesmanship of his merchandise
receive first attention at the hands OF the

In Philadelphia the Foley Agency han

city, having practically all of the better
class Of merchants as its clients.
In the general field the agency is known

and several other national accounts Of
