WICHITA.

Reports from Wichita indicate that
the graft and corruption that are fos-
tered by the saloon and other vicious
Influences have been f1ourishing there
unmolested for months. What a hu-
initiation it must be to the decent peo-
pie of that city to learn that vice and
crime have been paying nearly $4,000
a month to some one for protection
from the law!
The decent element in Wichita
must be in the majority. The trouble
is that the decent people have hereto
fore gone to sleep and this is the first
year they have woke up enough to
make a stand for Righteousness and
decency-yet already they have won.
Today the new administration takes
hold in Wichita, the first one in years
that has not been apparently in SYM
pathy with the violation of the law.
made preparations to go out of bust
ness, and reports from the Peerless
Princess indicate that Saturday night
was time of wild orgies.
Wichita is a fine town in itself and
it is a pity that such a condition
should prevail there. The decent peo-
pie will doubtless be devoutly thank
and even that part Of the liberal"
element that is itself law-abiding will
become satisfied that deeency is the
best policy, the same as has happened
in Kansas City, Kansas.

Well. hardly. There might be a little

Here is a story of a little deal in
wheat related by the Great Bend Item:
The Farmers Grain & Fuel company
at Pawnee Rock have not been able to
handle any wheat for something like
two months on account OF not being
able to get cars to ship in. Their ele-
vator was full and they had no place
to put any more grain. They sent out
notice that they would take care of
the wheat belonging to their stock
holders Monday, and on that day
bought from the stockholders of the
company alone 169 loads of wheat that
would average so bushels to the load.
Other buyers on the Pawnee Rock
market boosted the price of wheat
cents per bushel on that day.
Lawrence Journal: Topeka Is go
ing to have a dandelion day. Topeka
probably needs it but hardly as bad as
Lawrence. DandeHons are all over
Kansas. There is a peculiar situation
here which accounts for the abund-
ance of dandelions. A number of years
ago a dandelion tonic was manufac-
tured in this city. 1t had a large sale
under the management of George Leis.
1t was made of dandelions and the
idea got abroad that the cultivation OF
dandelions was a great business OPP
portunity. Accordingly all the yards
in town were planted to dandelions
and people expected to make money
as fast as they later expected to by
raising Belgian hares. The things
grew but the dandelion tonic fell into
other hands and was not pushed. 1t
moved away leaving the dandelions
here. Thev have been here ever since.

SENATOR SMITHS INvEcT1vE.

There is no halfway business about
the political reformation and regener-
alton of Fred Dumont Smith, If one
may Judge from some of the utter
ances in his paper, the Kinsley Mer-
curry. He takes Mr.. Hartman down
the line with as violent invective as
the most bitter railroad batter could
wish. Listen to this: He describes
the leoting of the Alton, and then con-
tinues:
Hartman took the Alton, a pros
porous old fashioned road, with a long
tradition of success and honesty back
of it. one of the best roads in the
country, we'll built and equipped, max
ing money, clean and clear, took it,
squeezed it like an orange and threw
away the empty skin.

their gains!
Here is something worth while.
Twenty-four millions stolen in two
years and divided among four of them.
Riches beyond the dreams of avarice
from scheme loot.
with this record fresh from his
own lips does Mr.. Hartman think
that the American people care any
thing about his controversy with the
president, or the issue of personal
veracity?
How many citizens If in the jury
box would believe Hartman under
oath il he were on the stand in mat
ter in which he was interested? 1t
matters not whether Hartman tells
the truth or not, the people instinc-
lively know that Hartman and all
that Hartman stands for is the an
tithesis of truth and honest and fair
dealing. They know that Hartman

JOURNAL ENTRIES

Hooray for the S. r., and repeatI Did
you read the panegyric she handed out
to the dandelion in the Society depart
ment Saturday? We guess it was
panegyrtc. The Society Reporter is the
Real Thing when it comes to handing
out panegyrics and lemons and similar
fruit. Once more this department de-
sires to hooray for the s. r. because of
her Noble Defense of the Dandelion.
This department has itself longed to
rush to the aid of the poor downtrodden
dandelion, but truth compels the con-
fession that this department is some
thing of a rabbit. 1t is not afraid of
most things, but it is liable to duck
when it's a case of club women. But
since the s. r. has taken stand in
behalf of the dandelion this department
proposes to give her it's moral support.
Really and truly, there are few prettier
sights than dandelion- besprinkled
lawn. If they did not grow SO eaSily-if
one had to sit up nights nursing them to
make them grow-the club women
would be crazy over their beauty. 1t
may be treason to say so, but it's fact.
And even if they do spread out and car
pet the ground with their bright green
foliage, what hurt do they do? If they
are allowed to go TO seed they may not
look well, but neither does an ill-kept
lawn that goes to seed. There are plen-
ty of worse things than dardelions that
the club women might fight. P. S.
The S. r. also stands UP for the sun
flower. This concurring opinion does not
apply to that. On the sunf1ower PROPOSE
ton this department dissents. In the
days Of it's youth this department learn
ed to fight the sunf1ower with a deadly
hatred and hoe, and it has never got
over 1t.

WHICH ONE FILLS THE BILL?

Omitting the name of President
Roosevelt, because I'VE believe in the
sincerity of Mr.. Roosevelt's repeated
declarations, and do not believe that
there is any probability of any contin-
gency which will lead him to become
candidate the Outlook Magazine
lists the names of all those who have
been mentioned by it's contributor, John
Callan OLaughlin, iii his review of
presidentiaIs possibilities, as follows:
William ]. Bryan. Chas. E. Hughes.
Joseph G. Cannon. R. NJ. LaFollette.
Geo. B. Cortelyou. Richard Olnev.
c. w. Fairbanks. Alton b. Parker.
Joseph w. Folk. Elihu Root.
Jos. B. Foraker. Leslie M. Shaw.
George Gray. VIM. H. Taft.
VIM. r. Hearst.
1t will be noticed that the names are
given alphabetically, without party
designation, after the style of the So
called Massachusetts, ballot in use in
several states. The Outlook invites its
readers to divest, for the moment, the
personality Of the candidate from his
party utilization. ind asks: What kind
of a man do we need for PRESIDENT"
Answering its own question, the reply
is made:
First, a man of courage, who will
enforce the laws alike against popular
prejudice and private interests; second,
q man of administrative ability, who
understands men, has tact which en-
ables him to get along with all sorts
of men, power to win the loyalty of
men, and so capably to supervise
without directing in detail the i'm
mense busiress operations in which the
country is engaged; and, third, man
with a broad horizon and with popular
sympathies, who sees what are the
needs of the nation, what are it's desires
and what its perils, and who can inter-
pref the needs, give expression to the
desires, and warn against the perils,
and can, in brief, give information to
the congress as to the state of the
union. and recommend measures to
guard against the perils, satisfy the de-
sires and provide for the needs of the
nation. These measures the congress
can then consider and debate from the
many points of view furnished by the
representatives of many different con-
stituencies, with conflicting opinions
and interests
1t may be there are three or four or
five on the list that would measure up
to these requirements. 1t is absolute
ly certain, however, that the majority
will not do. 1t is very easy to go
through the list and eliminate eight or
ten to whom decided objections can be
made-legitimate objections on the
part of the people. Take your own
yardstick and measure each man and
