A BIAS THE FAKE.

| The newspaper fake" might as well
put on its hat and go hence Secretary
1 Coburn has taken his pen in hand and
| has begun to jab it hard. In fact, Mr..
| Coburn evidently intends to engage it
in mortal combat If it persists in lin
| gering in the ambient Kansas atmos-
phere.
Secretary Coburn spoke his thoughts
before the members of the Kansas
State Editorial association last night.
While speaking of the fake in general
| he specialized concerning the terms.
billiards. ''drouths.'' cyclones" and
'grasshoppers." He deplored the use of
these terms by newspaper correspond
ents and local newspapers when cir
cumstances in Kansas seldom, If ever,
warranted them.
Billiards, for instance, are defined by
the United States weather bureau as
those storms that occur in the front
edge of extremely severe cold waves,
where the wind is running from thirty
to fifty miles or more per hour, with
the temperature ten degrees below zero
or lower, and the air full of ice driven
with tremendous force by the terrific
wind" such storms" continues the
braska and the Dakotas, but seldom, IL
ever, in Kansas" Yet already this win
ter, said Mr.. Coburn, two Kansas
storms have been heralded to the world
as billiards" He estimates that such
exaggerations have injured the state
tremendously, in keeping out both pop
ulation and invested capital.
These, however, are mere exagger-
atoms. but there is another species of
fake which Mr.. Coburn did not
dwell upon. 1t has little connection
with things material but it gives other
people a poor opinion of the Kansas
character. 1t is that species of fake"
that is manufactured out of whole
cloth-those impossible stories of
freaks and monstrosities.
For instance, there was the story
sent out from southwestern Kansas
few years ago of the three-months-old
infant that kept repeating. six years
famine in Kansas" This story was
actually printed as news by dozens of
eastern papers that claim to be repu-
table, and it was the foundation for
many a jibe at the Sunflower state and
its people by the pert paragrapher.
This sort of thing has been repeated
so often and our peculiar and striking
characters have been so twisted into
freaks that Kansas is regarded as the
state of freaks. Yet it has no more
of them-probably not as many-as
most other states.
