Book excerpt: Excerpt from Admire's Political and Legislative Hand-Book for Kansas, 1891: With Maps As A newspaper correspondent, during several years last past, I have Often experienced the need Of a volume similar to this, containing in com pact form a compilation Of political facts and figures pertaining to our own state; i. A, a political hand-book for Kansas. The task of compil ing such a volume appeared at first to be a very easy one, requiring but little time or labor, no particular originality, and George W. Crane would pay the printer. But it is human to miscalculate in matters of this char acter, as well as to err, and I am free to confess in this public manner that had I known as much about political hand-books a year ago as I do to-day, Admire's Political and Legislative hand-book for Kansas would never have appeared in print. However, here is the result of time, labor, worry and vexation of Spirit. And Mr. Crane will probably always remain poorer because Of that public Spirit which prompted him to undertake this publication As Mr. D. W. Wilder well says in his introduction, which follows Heretofore the publishers of Kansas books have been sold, while the works themselves have not. Kansas books go like hot cakes - when freely given away. In presenting this volume to the public I realize that it is not com plete it is not up to the high standard I had intended it to be. In look ing over the printed pages it is now plain to be seen that there are some things that might have been omitted which would not have lessened the value of the book. And there are many others, no doubt, that should have had an abiding place between these covers. But it is the present intention to issue this hand-book every two years, with such additional data as newspaper publishers, politicians and those interested in politics, legis lators and others, may have occasion to refer to. With this purpose in view, the election returns herein and other expensive tables have been stereotyped, so that future editions may not bankrupt the publisher.
