AND BOUQUETS"

To borrow a creation of the late
lamented Norm Hapgood, erstwhlle OF
I Golfers, such things are really the
stock in trade of editors AND the
Kansas brethren of the craft, VINO
! have assembled in Topeka today IN
annual conclave, are experts IN hand-
ing them out. If there is any man on
the face of the earth who is more in
dependent and who can do neater
and more delicate job OF removing
strip after strip of epidernls, wnen
the occasion demands, than the Kan
sas editor, he hasn't been discovered
as yet. On the other hand, who but
he can assemble such a choice assort-
ment of beautiful blooms, when the
opportunity is propitious. That's why
the Kansas editor is SO intensely nkeo
by his friends. That is why he is so
cordially dislil1ed by his foes.
AS far as Topeka is concerned, the
Kansas editors, taken individually and
collectively. smack of the salt of the
earth. No clever crew that ever
scuttIed or sailed a ship of state has
better intentions. And that's how
every one wishes to be judged NO
crowd of men and women that ever
gather in Topeka is more welcome.
They are like the flowers in May,
which, by the way, will be on deck
pretty soon now, unless the weather
man wakes up to the fact that this is
the winter season. They have been as
kind to the capital city of their COM
monwealth as they have been harsh.
Their kindness has been appreciated
to the limit. So have their slaps. For
in this age of notoriety chasing, even
the slams are not to be despised. They
keep one in the minds of the people.
Nothing is more worth while, 1T seems
Topeka's only regret is that the
editors do not come this way oftener,
en- masse and separately. But they're
so popular from Nebraska to Okla
homa and from Missouri to Colorado,
that every city in the state clamors FOR
their presence with sincere enthusi-
asm. And Topeka is thankful that
they get here once in two years. or so.
The greetings of the city and it's peo-
pie are heartily extended to them.
The keys of the town are theirs, even
if there isn't very much under cover
in it. If they don't have as good
time as they expected this year, they
should try again, and the sooner the
better. Even the astute spider doesn't
catch a fat fly every time.

Enormous forage crops in many sec
lions of Kansas are going to stimulate
the feeding and raising of cattle, which
was beginning to become one of the
lost agricultural arts in the Sunflower
state. And cattle on every farm in
Kansas in proportions to it's size would
add to it's fertility and mean even larg-
er crops in the future. Until the small
farmer as we'll as the big one in Kan

to this fact, there can be little hope

THE GAS HEARING.
1t Grinds on Before Utilities
Commission.

That no matter what the price at
which gas is sold, the gross receipts
will remain practically the same, was
sworn to by Engineer Herbert OF the
Wyandotte County Gas company IN the
hearing before the public utilities COM
mission this afternoon. Mr. Herbert
explained by saying that the amount OF
gas sold was inversely proportionate TO
the price charged, and that the expert
ence of gas companies has been that
the gross receipts will remain the same,
the consumption being reduced in ex-
actly the proportion that the price was
increased.
Mr.. Herbert testified that the waste
of MANUFACTURED gas. or the gas un a.
accounted for, amounted to from 4 10
6 per cent. of the total mount on the
same volume. He said that uncollect-
able bills run from 1 Ito per cent.
of the total output
The average amount of corrections
per meter in Kansas City. Mo-, he
said, is about s3S year. In Kansas
City, Kan, this amount is about $50
a year. He did not think an increase
in the price of gas would make any
substantial difference in the reccfpts.
Attorney John Marshall, for the utili-
ties commission, made a statement COW
ering what he said would have been
the testimony of Senator Emerson
Carey, had he been able to attend the
meeting. He said Mr.. Carey would
testify that gas at 10 to IL cents
Thousand cubic feet, for boiler pur-
poses, and at % cents a thousand feet
for household heating, is approximate
ly as cheap as coal at prevailing prices.
An increase in the price of gas, ne
said, would make it luxury.
The evidence is being taken now upon
the application of the Wyandotte Coun-
ty Gas company for permission to in
crease their rates to SOIL cents per
thousand cubic feet. The commission
is not likely to- finish the hearing for
another day or two
