He told the dear people that the farmer would get from thirty to forty cents more for the wheat. As a result, since the day the law became effective wheat has declined thirty two cents. Next year there is going to be a whole lot of politics in Kansas, and this time, besides Governor Davis, they are going to elect the whole state and legislative ticket with him.

It will therefore be the duty of the party to name none but the very best of men and women for the different position- In looking over a long list of available candidates for state treasurer the name that stands out most prominently at this time is none other than that of Hon. "Ham'" B. Bell, of Dodge City. "Johnson's election embarras ses the administration, reduces the dwindling Republican majority in the Senate and so far as it will have any efiect will be against the farmer in putting further off the return of normal agricultural conditions." The above is the last sentences from a long editorial in Senator Capper's Topeka Capital, commenting upon the Minnesota senatorial election And we wonder what the Capital and Capper means in saying that the election of this dirt farmer to the senate means that it is against the farmer. I H-mor more able to do so? We think not.

Next spring the democrats of Miami county will be behind Hon Frank M. Sheridan of Paola, as one of the two delegates from the Second district, to the democratic national convention. Mr. Sheri dan is one of the most consistent democrats in eastern Kansas. His staunch supporters, in a let- iL-r, says: 3ir.

lias no choice now for president and vice president to ue nominated by the democrats in 11)21. He thinks there is no need of ijjiiig in a hurry to decide the matter, but when the time does come, he will be governed by the opinions of the democrats of this congressional district and the whom he will try to fairly represent in the national convention."

That may be an exagera-tion but it certainly has. been a long time, A short time ag the village was discovered. It has been all unearthed as it can plainly be seen that the entire village was carefully covered by human hand. It is supposed that when the Aztecs entered, these people had hopes of returning to their land and so carefully covered it gup with dirt and stones. Now it is possible to walk through the villiage or city (as it has not all been unearthed yet) and touch the perfectly pie-served, walls, which are in piace painted withrred, yellow, and green They are still in jdt as good shapu as the cement houses of today.

But history is made more rapidly nowadays.

Important events of hardly a year ago are lost in the turmoil of the present. i A hotel today that can so impress its personality on the minds of its patrons, that they will remember it with pleasure months and years afterwards, must be something out of the ordinary. With nothing but inherent quality and expert ability to senre without a dramatic historic background the Hotel Lassen has succeeded in making an impression, and a favorable one, on the minds of its guests. Those who are familiar with its supreme dining service, its quiet luxurious rooms, and general atmosphere of cheerful refinement, know that Lassen quality is unsurpassed and seldom equaled. Its very moderate price scale for such service is, significant proof of the expert management.
