GOOD WORD FOR KANSAS.

Mr. Frank P. MacLennan Talks to the New York Times.

During the recent meeting of the Newspaper Publishers' association held in New York City, the New York Times interviewed a number of the members present, regarding the business situation in their respective localities, among them Mr. Frank P. MacLennan of the Topeka State Journal, who said: "So far as business conditions are concerned, Kansas was never in so excellent a state as she is today. Our farmers have practically paid off the mortgages on their farms, and many of them have money to lend. All the newspapers of the state are enjoying the general prosperity. Politically Kansas still remains a riddle. There is a large independent vote in the state that constitutes a balance of power. You never know which way the independent voter is going to jump, so it is hard to determine the political status of Kansas."
