The other day Congressman Gritty- 5 of Georgia, one of ihe minority lender? of ihc house, said in a speech that Congressman Mnrdoek hail saved the taxpayers of this nation four million dollars this And ihe work has not yet well begun; his mail-weighing, proposition will fave ihe American people five million dollars a year from now on. He won hi? point fighting Speaker Cannon. What other K.msas congressman, truckling to Speaker Cannon, has done half nv; much? It doesn't pay to knuckle down Cannon. lie is a vain, stupid, arrogant old moss-back, and if congressmen from Kansas think Cannon- is bigger than the people, the lime has come to change the congressmen from Kansas.

Congressman 'Mnvdock lias proved himself a real man. And he has made il for ihe people if noi for Congressman Mnrdock--whom Cannon will not speak to. because Mnrdock is honest. What gorgeous compliment! other Kansas congressman ever had as much honor? uivness and lawlessness prevailing at Kansas City, Kan. The people of that town growing weary of seeing il held up as a example the year round and point to a few facts which escaped ihc notic; of the brewery editors.

The Kansas has the misfortune of being next door neighbor to Kansas City, a much larger town, where saloons are open and where crime has long been rampant; there is no stronger barrier between them iban the slate line, and when vicious citizens of the Missouri lawn find that they an; being searched by the police, their t'trst impulse is to cross the state line, and lake refuge in Ule. Kansas town. This will give them at least ihe benefit of delay, if it does not prove .111 inviolable sanctuary. Kansas City, Kansas, is therefore the dumping ground for all sorts and conditions of rascals from her Missouri neighbor, and of course these rascals ply their nofarions trades in i heir new stamping grounds, until rounded up. The Kansas town suffers in the same way from drunkenness.

The c.liief of police says: "There are i went j--four saloons in one block across the stale line, the main road in Kansas Ciiy, Kansas, and men who drink'there start for homes in Kansas." The towns along lite river, within hailing' distance Missouri, have always labored under geographical difficulties A with reference to niain- iioil reputation for the eiiiorcenii'iil (he prohibition law. I'lir-y have, lo shoulder the respon- -ibility for the jags acquirer! across the river. The Globe says there is a deal of drunkenness at Atchison. ami concludes ihal prohibition is a failure; yel same issue of the paper has half a local treating of people who became drunk in Missouri came to th Kansas side In their yelliiif, Strangers in Alchison, seeing th drunken men. will naturally leave ih town with a bad impression concern ing the results of the prohibitorj law.

Hut the blame should not the law. CASEY AT THE BAT. The pursuit of Tyro bank robbers cine of Ilie thrilling episorlcs of current history. Vv'iieu the dire news of the robbery came to the people of Southern Kansas, men of martial instincts once called for their guns and called for llieir sleeils. and for their snickersnees, and I here was much saddling nf horses ing of gory and mixing of war medicine.

Shame on the false who lingers at his home at siii'h a lime! it a brave this gathering iif the clans for ha i tie. And braver still long lines of determined men speeding npun the trail of ihe marauders. Some of them were raptured by the brigands and robbed, and sent back home 10 wait until they prew up before fngagiiig in Mich stern pastimes. Others lost them- and the hnrse- of some went lame, and a few suddenly remember ed that they liad engage- menis in lown. and the chase Ian- gui-hed.
