There is a well defined purpose in
the meeting of the Kansas editors in
Topeka this week and that purpose is
to put muff1er on a big bunch of
newspaper legislation proposed by
Reed, Myers, Price and Potter. AS the
| bills come from both factions of the
majority party, there is little sympa-
thy for the upper house in this year S
meeting of the pen pushers and the
n6WSDaD6r Threaten
to pass resolutions that will not be in
the least pleasant to the SO a day law
makers.
Tom Thompson of the Howard
Courant, and author of the "Pot-
pourri'' column, came to town this
morning with ruff1ed feeling, which
he declares did not arise from a
sIeepless night in a Santa Fe Pullman.
The Howard editor-postmaster, feels
extremely Inundated and highly in
suited by the attempts of the legis-
lature to pass what he terms insane
legislation and he would not object
to any method that will let the senate
know of his feelings.
Harrison ParBman, who wears the
only according-to-Hoyle VanDyke in
the present session. is explaining to
the boys how prosperous the news
papers in Lyon county have been since
the last meeting. Parkman is editor
of the Emporia Times, the only well
county. He is also county surveyor.
Both jobs, he says, are paying hand
somely, and the publisher with attrac-
tive whiskers is happy.
Mrs Noble Prentis is attending the
meeting. Mrs. Prentis is the friend of
every country publisher big, little and
Insignificant. She declares the legis-
lature will do a cowardly act by de-
feating the suffrage amendment, al
| though she vows she would not lobby
for the bill.
Henry c. Sticher of the Belleville
Telescope is one of the principal per-
| formers at the Topeka gathering.
Sticher is president of the association
and few days ago was appointed sec
retary to Congressman Rees. Several
years ago Sticher worked on the week
ly papers in Woodson county. His
father was wealthy Yates Center
| lawyer and in 1905 was in the legisla-
ture. Four years ago Sticher entered
the game for himself when he bought
the Alma Signal. The Signal pros
pered. Then he bought an interest in
the Telescope. He is a born insurgent
He is a hustler and his rise in the
newspaper game set a new high water
mark for future scribes. AS coun-
try publisher he possesses the enviable
knack of knowing real news when he
meets it.
Every member of the association is
talking of Topeka hospitality. In the
10 years of the organization, the mem
bers have never met such a royal re-
ception as is rendered this year by the
capital city.
Byron Cain, Of Belle Plains, is treas
urer of the association. In the inter
walls when he is not writing receipts
he talks of the advancement of the
newspaper game. Cain is a born optim-
ist. He believes the world is growing
better and that any newspaper mar
who attends strictly to business will
make money.

| News. is one of the county seat nlb-
