| There is some unwavorable COM
ment because SO Kansas Republican
editors at the State Editorial aSSocia-
ton meeting at Wichita this week
can Editorial association. This COM
ment is based up the false premise,
sought TO be established by those
who misrepresent the situation. that
there was some mystery, some secret
conference, some back-chamber pro-
ceedings.
There was nothing mysterious
about 1t. After the conclusion OF bus
after the state association had ad-
1ourned meeting was called. an

was made plain. There were both
regulars and insurgents there. and a
fuil discussion followed. The Taft
resolution of endorsement was adopt
ed, and the officers elected.
Tnat Is all there was to 1t. and II
most OF the officers are regulars it
was because they had more votes
than the other fellows.
The principal point is simply this:
That there has been no state Re-
publican Editorial association in Kan

district organizations; and that the
It was. therefore. natural the Repub-
lican editors desired such associa-

FOR KANSAS REAL ESTATE.
The organization at Topeka this
week of the real estate dealers of
Kansas is a move to open the door
and extend a greeting to opportunity
at time when she is knocking her
hardest.
There is no investment in all the
world like Kansas real estate for sta
bility and assured increase in value,
and it Will be the province of the Kan
sas dealers to tell the world this
fact in language that may be read by
and carry conviction to many.
Interest in farm land as an invest
ment is pervading all sections, among
all classes. Many of the men who
edges are now in the real estate bust
ness to meet the new requirement of
the public appetite. Among all the
offerings Kansas land is distinct for
its present low price, the absolute Sc
curity of its return for the investment
and the guarantee of steady advance
in value as population thickens and
the trend to the farm works out it's
natural course
Other sections offer a more glitter
ing gambling chance" than a Kansas
farm investment. but none has so bind
ing a guarantee written into the con-
tract.
Kansas real estate has always gone
onto the market with too much OF
hysteria, both in its praise and con-
domination. It should be the province
of the allied real estate dealers to
adopt the literature Of Coburn and the
records of real estate sales. and voice
to the world a representative story of
the Kansas farm. as a brick which is
gold all the way through, but which
makes no claims of throwing in a
handful OF diamonds.-Ottawa Herald.
