A Kansas reader mixes political opinion with social satire. The piece rails at attempts to equate governance with authority, cites Rockefeller’s testifying absence, and lampoons Wichita politics over the public utility board. It recounts public figures, court recall ideas, and recalls a preacher scandal and Kansas commentary on ouster laws.
A friend reports two criticisms about the Journal-World. One says the paper will devote nearly all winter space to the legislature due to the editor's past service. The other claims the editor will avoid legislature space to imply the body is unimportant when he is not a member. The paper has provided fine coverage of the legislature this past two weeks in Topeka.
The Journal-World notes Mayor Bishop cannot serve a full term, prompting a move to commission government. The water question tops the agenda, with public demand for a firm, right solution. Voters expect capable leadership to push the project to completion.
The piece portrays Walt Mason celebrating giving and health over luxury. Seventy seven hungry kids rely on him, while a rich man laments lack of song and wealth. It contrasts simple work and Providence with plutocratic indifference.
Lawrence Journal-World urges public calm as the city nears a crucial period. It backs Mayor Bishop’s remaining in office through May to settle the water supply issue, praises his four-year record, and supports the new form of government while stressing prudence and unity.
