ing character. Some of the popular
and well-known educators of this and
adjoining states who will be present

of Delaware College; DR.. A. n. Raub,

of the law, but even here the saloons
are not open, the business is clandes-

though large by contrast, would be
ridiculously small in any license town

Nowhere in Kansas can any man
find saloon unless he has the tip,
and a man who doesn't look like a
topper or one who loves his dram, can't
find any place where where whisky is
to be had. If he looks clean, neat
sober and respectable, the Joint
keeper or bottle holder will refuse him
from fear that the applicant is an in

Neither your writer nor the editor O.

zatiOn to be known as the Union Pal

There is also a story, "a Charm of Hal

The melancholy days have come, but
Hdrper's Magazine for November
brightens them perceptibly. There is
no flavor of decay about it, and its
leaves are as fresh and clean as in sum-
mer-time. The range of subjects is
wide, and there is catering to many
kinds of literary taste. Two articles,
" Invalidism as Fine Art" and "The
New Orleans Bench and Bar in 1929 -
can hardly fail to charm every one
who reads them. The illustrations all
through are most artistic, and the De-
partments show their usual sweetness,
light, and common-sense.

]. Frank Ball Appointed Judge.

The information has come out that
the resignation of Judge Walter Cum
minis has been in the hands of Governor
Biggs for the past two weeks and that
the governor has appointed City Solici-
tor J. Frank Ball in his place. Mr..
Ball still holds the appointment under
advisement and will make his decision
known in few days The announce
ment came like thunderbolt from
clearsky. On every side come denuncia-
tiOns ofthe governor who had in as many
words promised the friends of Judge
Turner that when Cummins resigned,
he would notify those friends and give
them an opportunity to present Judge
Turner's claims. Instead of doing this
in three days after the resignation of
Cummins he placed the commission in
Mr.. Balls hands. The reason of this is
said to have been that representations
were made to Biggs that if the appoint
ment was thrown open to a contest the
pressure would be so strong for Judge
Turner that he would not dare turn
! him down.
Some of the most prominent Irish
Democrats in the city declare that
they will cut the ticket if the appoint
ment stands.
In all the storm of indignation there
is not one word of reproach to Mr..
Ball, as his course has been honorable,
and the opinion is that he would make
a good judge.-EUening Journal.
