KANSAS COMMENT
KANSAS HELPINc. NEW YORK.

KANSAS HELPING NEW YORK.
At last, after half a century, Kansas
mas the laugh on New York. No more
can New York, the naughty, the scorn-
IuI, the condescsnding, look down upon
US ana refer to us as bleeding Kansas.
Ine pride of the Empire state has been
BUNDLED. She eroyels in the dust at
our rect, and implores our help. Rev
erend and Mrs. Broad, who were in Sa-
Detna few weeks ago, are travelling
through Kansas to inspire sympathy
ana incidentally to get money to assist
the wealthy, the overbearing. the inso-
lent New York in caring for her poor.
Remembering the old clothes sent us in
grasshopper and drouth times, we are
spending nobly to New York's cry for
help. we are gladly sQuaring our debt
or half a century. We are not getting
even with our cast off garments, we are
sending hard cash, the result of harvest
ing our golden grain. Lo, how hath
the mighty fallen. Golden Kansas
DraVely supports the dropping form of
Bleeding New York.-Sabetha Herald.
TAFT.
Secretary Taft has announced his
Willingness to accept the Republican
nomination for president There are
az least two very strong features to
Lavor his nomination. One is that he
really represents all the principles, the
president is and has been contending
Tor. Another is that Foraker and all
the representatives of the trusts and
corporations are dead against him. Taft
Is an able man with a splendid official
record and would make an ideal candi-
date in 1908. If the masses in this
country allow such Il man as Taft to be
defeated by the corporations, we will
probably get what will be coming to US
and will deserve it too.-Holton Recor-
der.
THIS FUNNY OLD WORLD.
Here is funny thing: There are
organizations composed Of women and
ministers of the gospel who are always
interesting themselves in trying to get
some brutal murderer out Of the peni-
tent1ary; but let a man sell one drink
or whisky and these same people want
MIN to languish In Jail just as many
years as possible. Women, some of
them, who will carry flowers to a muir
derer want to see a jointkeeper guillo-
tined. Funny old world isn't it?-Os-
borne Farmer
NOT THE BOOZE WAY.
A Wamego paper complains that
when an agent for a Kansas City Jug
house was taking orders for Christmas
booze in that town, number of men
who We're away behind on subscription
to the paper gave. orders and planked
down the cash. The Wamego editor is
unreasonable. The idea that a boozer
will go without his Christmas booze to
enable him to pay his subscription is
preposterous. Boozers do not do that
way.-Holton Recorder.
THIS ISN'T BATTLE.
The railroads have done their share
in adding up the mortality in the year
1906. The last night before the old year
died the railroads killed 81 people in
1vvo
thing be done to prevent this wholesale
numbering? If So people had been killed
In a battle with the Filipinos, what a
roar would go up.-Sabetha Herald.
DUE WARNING.
The frieHdszzf Una Enappen notified
him long enough Before Caiderhead's ar
rival so. that he-c ould-have the -engi-
to the bursting point to prevent freez-
ing.-Parsons Sum-
ALWAYS THE WAY.
Most members of the legislature Think |
they would make good state senators. |
Most state senators are ambitious to |
be congressman. Many congressman |
want to be United States senators. Tho |
average United States senator thinks |
he would make an excellent president
Kingman Leader.
THE OTHER MANS MOTE.
M. E. Ingalls, admits that the tariff, |
the unjust grant of franchises and the |
of rebates are at the bottom |
Of all the financial troubles of this |
country. No, Mr.. ingalls, is not a great |
not a franchise promo
ter. not a big shipper. He happens to
be president of railroad, and can see
the mote in the other mans eye so
clearly that he can't help telling about
