Billy Morgan calls attention to the
fact that this week ends the reign of
the grounding.
One Kansas paper admits that the
weekly Topeka letter sent out by VIII

The smaller papers of Kansas are
now devoting space to the return of
their representatives and senators. In
nearly every paper it is said that Mr..
So-and-So was a leader in his particu-
lar house. This may account for the
failure of the legislature to enact the
public utilities and other important
meaSureS-toO many leaders.
One man withdrew his subscription
to a Kansas paper because he didn't
like its stand on prohibition. Another
man sends in a subscription because he
likes what the paper says about booze.

The Lawrence Journal fears that T.
Bent Murdoch, the old Republican

Five years ago a Salina boy broke
his arm, and a surgeon tried to re-
pair the injury and made .botch of
it. The boy through his mother, sued
the doctor for damages, and the case
has been in the courts ever since Two
juries awarded the boy pretty heavy
damages, but the doctor appealed or
the verdicts were set aside. A couple
of days ago the case was settled out
of court, and the boy, who now wears
long yellow whiskers, had a dollar left
after the costs were paid. 1t is not
known what he will do with the dol |
lar but he may establish a new daily |
paper at Iawrence.-Empor Gazette. |
