The English language is constant

There IS the man who holds the

There is talk of establishing a
work house or rock pile in Chanute
for the purpose of collecting fines
from prisoners, who are committed
to Jail il default of fines assessed.
John Doe owes the town several
hundred dollars in fines which
he said that he would paw and
then forgot to return. As a matter
of fact. John does not give
three hoops whether there is any
rock crushed In the town or not.
If the courts could make John pay
as he goes, there would be fewer
Johns and the balance sheet would
look more even at the end of the
year.

THE RIGHT MAN FOR GOVERNOR

Arthur Capper, editor Of the To-
peka Daily Capital has been persuad-
ed by his numerous friends over
Kansas to become a candidate for
governor on tie Republican ticket
subject to the decision Of the party
at the primary next year.
No man lives who can or will make
better exc cuLive Of the state, He
is Kansan; he has lived in the state
all his life. He knows what the
people want and he will see that they
get it.
OF all things Arthur Capper is a
business man, aud if ever this state
needed business man to conduct It's
affairs it needs him now. Do you
think for one minute if he was
governor there would be an army of
political dead beats on the pay roll
doing nothing but drawing pay?
Not much.
Furthermore, If he was governor
he would not be candidate for
United States senator and bnlid up a
machiue to run over Kansas and
electioneer for him. But he would
be governor-no one else. Further
more, he would write his own mes
sages and procamations. He has
brains and ability and would not
have to rely upon any private secre-
tary or anyone else.
Any man who knows Arthur Cap
per admires him. He is Thorough
gentleman every hour in the day.
He is a big broad minded, brainy
man who s as honest as he is modest

can be relied upon to the letter.
His life is an open book. No ma'
lives that can say a mean thing about
him and tell the truth, as the writer
has known him about as long as any
one else aud speaks from an acquaint-
ance with him of many, many years
His WouderfuI success as a printer
and publisher is shining mark of
his ability as man who does things.
