HOW many people in. Kansas who
refer to 1T as new country realize
that the white man was here nearly
eighty years before he was in Mass
achusetts and more than sixty years
before he was in Virginia? How many
colored people in the state know that
one of their race was in Kansas long
before the slave trade began with the
American colonies? The white man
came here with Coronado, the Spanish
general from Mexico and the negro
came with the famous priest, Juan de
Pallida- To be really interesting in
Kansas one must learn its history
from the beginning of things. How
many readers of the Globe have heard
Fourth of July orators tell of our
Throwing off the yoke of King George
and Great Britain? They should
known that Kansas never belonged to
King George or Great Britain. The
only European monarchs that ever
held sway over Kansas were Louis
XIV and Louis XIV of France and
Charles III and Charles ~ of Spain.
a wee part of Kansas under the DOM
inion of AugustineI, Emperor of Mex
leo, but his title to it was shadowy
and ne didn't last long any way. Some
people say that we got Kansas from
Emperor Napoleon, We did not. We
got Kansas before Napoleon became
emperor. Kansas was not in the French
revolution. 1t had ceased to be
French territory some time before
the revolution. At that time the real
power that controlled Kansas-and
she probably never heard of twas

only first consul of the French repub-

Speaking of the uncertainties of
identification of persons suspected
of crime, a former newspaper man of
Cove county tells this story. Years
ago miscreants entered the house of
an old German at dead of night, beat
the old man severely and made their
escape with team stolen from the
livery stable in Cove City. Various
persons were arrested as subjects.
One day one of these was taken to
the Germans home for identification.
The newspaper man by request went
along and sat in the rear seat.
She declared that he was one of the
two men that assailed her husband
as she recognized his figure and his
voice. After some positive assertions
on her part the official told her that
this man was the editor of well
known paper. At once she seemed to
forget all about her earlier confidence
that he was one of the thugs. No i'll
could readily come of this under the
circumstances, but suppose the editor
had been a pennilesS stranger espec-
tally person of race, or creed or lam
guage hated in the community?

account for. After being put through
