KANSAS C0MMENT
al KANSAS PRIZE.

So much attention is paid to the girl
who develops a talent for music, draw
ing, painting or writing that the good
old-fashioned girl who has natural in
born talent for the more exacting art of
sewing is usually neglected therefore,
we desire to point with pride to MISS
Belle Griffin of Sabetha who celebrated
her nineteenth birthday last week, and
who in the year she was eighteen made
ISL dresses, skirts and waists, two long
coats four tailor made Jacket suits, one
short Jacket for customers, and did all
the family sewing for a family OF four.
She has cleaned up in the neighborhood
of two hundred dollars during the year.
Can any girl who has been dabbl1ng in
art, music or literature show as good
results? Miss Griffin simply has
natural talent for dressmaking. she en-
tered shop once to learn sewing. In
two months her teacher said she might
as we'll go home and sew. as she knew
as much about sewing as the teacher
did NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Herald

"She heaved and sot and sot and
heaved, and high her rudder flung;
and every time she sot and heaVed the
worser leak she sprung" The stare
senate has appointed committee TO
try to find out "who owns the senate
the railway corporations or the peo-
pie. But the committee balks, ana
possibly no investigation Will be mad.
1t seems the Kansas City star mas
stirred up senate muss by charging
that twenty-four of the forty senators
are more or less controlled by the cor
porations 1t is hardly possible that
anybody could own the paid neaoed
old codgers that largely make up the
senate. Statesmen with one foot IN
the grave are more given to looking
after the everlasting hereafter of their
immortal souls than trying to hire
out to the corporations. But then these
old boys must have their f1ing.-EI

THE POPULIST.
The old Kansas Populist mas gone
out of business on account OF Repupl--
can prosperity, but his soul goes
marching on We notice by the ere
ton returns that there are two Popu-
list parties in Germany.-Jewell Re
publican And 1--WE notice" that the
old fellows soul seems to nave taken
up it's residence in the White House
at washington. Notice what Teddy
said about holding all coal, forest and
grazing lands for the use of the peo-
pie? Notice how he said holden as
"public utilities and lease EN- to ac-

PROVIDE FOR THE RABBITS;
With a law for protecting rabbits
there is nothing further needed ex-
person to plant enough fruit trees to
feed a given number of Dummies. unless
it would be a law to protect caterpii-
lars and give them fair show with
the rabbits at young trees. A straight
out law for the rabbits might be con-
strued as a discrimination against
notwithstanding City Globe.
WORSE THAN NOTHING.
The Journal does not agree with the |
statement that the Fitzpatrick primary |
election bill is better than no bill at all |
If there is to be juggling the thing to |
do is to throw down all pretense ana
let the people see that there is no hon
esty in the effort. The house bill Is |
rea rlv right. and the house either ought |
