Napoleon waxworks and the watchful press in Wichita
In a sprawling critique the writer recounts wax figures of Napoleon and other malefactors in a Tussaud’s basement exhibit, noting the chilling display and the guillotine. The piece then shifts to praise Wichita’s lawfulness and civic virtue, urging Kansas City, Kansas to emulate Wichita or face consequences, with a dig at Santa Fe railroad business and local concerns in Topeka.
