Information from the office of Bank
Commissioner Dolley brings the news that
the open season for the bank robber is a
hand and serves to call the attention OF
the public to the fact that Kansas had

sas is nothing if not superlative and 1t
was to be expected that If the state must
have bank robberies, it must have more
than other states and the hauls must nee
essarily be larger; and the facts nave
justified the theory.
This year the bank customer who calls
after hours anad draws on the bank with
a charge of nitroglycerin or a stick of dy-

arise at o'clock in the morning and go
after the game is necessary to hunt this
dangerous quarry
Commissioner Dolley has not announced
his plan publicly and he may not need
volunteer bank protectors but 1t is under
