Thousands of people enjoyed the 22nd at the McKinley Park, when they fed their stomachs with eatables abundantly. Gov. Pauline wore a principal speaker and with other candidates, they fed the people's mind with things pertaining to the government and the future, if they are elected. This would be a great country, if one-fourth of the promises made by candidates were carried out. We advise that our people take the messages, examine the past records of the candidates; and, if your consciences dictate that he is the right one vote for him, but don't let this good talk fool you nor this good something to eat.

USE OF MAR- TIAL LAW TO STOP FLOGGINGS IN FLORIDA IS THREATENED PALATKA, FLA., Sept. 23—Under warning of Governor John Martin that failure to enforce the law in Putnam county would mean to declaration of martial law, Sheriff R. J. Han cock has promised to increase his force of deputies in an effort to sop the wholesale floggings being perpetrated in the county. Bands of hooded and maseed men have sallied at night into various homes of the country uuring the past year, particularly in recent months, seizing alleged miscleants and placing them under the lash in secluded places. Officials of the Ku Klux Klan have denied that members of that order have betn involved. 63 Floggings According to records of State's Attorney J. C. Adkins, there have been REI NOW HAVE A PLACE LEFT FOR YOU IF YOU WON'T BE LATE 63 floggins in Putnam county during the past year, with two deaths resulting. Scores of other floggings in Putnam county during the past year, with two deaths resulting. Scores of other floggings are said to have been unrecorded, through reluctance of victims to talk about their experiences. The floggins have been connected in most instances with alleged laxity of morals, one case being that of a comely young woman, said to have had too many male friends. She was thrashed soundly by a band which took her from her lodging house. Leading citizens in Palatka and the county are much excited over the situation, that the courts have adequate machinery with which to enforce the law. They have appealed to the governor, with the result that Sheriff Hancock and Mayor A. S. Waymer of Palatka were ordered to the state capital of a conference Tuesday. Governor Martin, in a statement at the capitol warned Sheriff Hancock to get busy and enforce the law or get ready to turn over his office to another Sheriff. The governor also declared that if the new sheriff didn't function correctly, he would place Palatka and Putnam counties under matial law. The E. B. B. Club met on Wednesday afternoon with Mrs. R.

Eut we will say that those people who study the situation before making their remarks are wise. An honest criticism is a real benefit. Kansas Gas and Electric Company welcomes all constructive criticisms—and tries to profit by them. But a thoughtless or malicious statement which is not true, often has the worst possible effect. Kansas Gas and Electric Company serves more than 60,000 customers. In this great number it is very possible that a very few individuals may not feel they had received the best service.
