The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

““The doctrine of ejusdem generis is applied in all cases where there is doubt as to the intention of the legislature, and, as a rule of statutory construction, is stated to be that where general words follow particular ones in a statute the general words will be limited in their meaning, or restricted to things of like kind and nature with those specified. This rule, however, always yields to the manifest legislative intention. (The State v. Bancroft, 22 Kan. 170, 207 [1879].)” 79 Kan. at 516 .”
