The following is from the pen Of Judge
John Guthrie and appeared ia the To-
peka MALL
The public career of Hon. Charles
Curtis, member of congress from this
congressional district, commenced ten
years ago. when he was nominated and
elected county attorney for Shawnee
county. Mr. Curtis was born January
=, 1860. in North Topeka. during the
heroic struggle on the soil Of Kansas
If
slavery. When Dir. Curtis entered
upon the discharge of his public duties
a. county attorney of this county Sena-
tor ) ohm Martin retired from the bench
as judge of the third Judicial district.
and Hon. A. I'LL. lance retired from the
office of county attorney. During the
four years that Mr. Curtis occupied
the Office Of county attorney, he prose
cuted about 800 cases with marked
biIity and success He would not
that he was guilty, or no public Interests
could be conserved He had the rare
faculty of getting into the merits Of any
case and determining whether the ac-
cused was guilty or Innocent before the
trial was commenced. He was scrupu-
lousy cOnsiderate in his expenditure of
public money, and careful to save as far
as possible public expenses. lie had
wonderful aptitude in anticipating the
questions of law that would arise in eve
witnesses would swear To on tine trial.
OF the 800 criminal actions tried before
me during the four years he was the pub-
lie prosecutor of this county. 4 never
knew him to come intOthe court house to
try case without thorough preparation.
W hen he retired from the Office Of c0un-
t. attorney he was no less able. faithful,
industrious and successful ia the private
practice of law. In his private home
life he devotes his time to his family and
his books. He has not wasted his time
and opportunities in dissipation
or ldleness. The spare moments Of his
professional life have been devoted to
literature art and science. He IS con
sfantly educating and strengthening
himself for the work that is before him.
As political leader and organizer be
has no superior lib the state. The Re
publican party of the Fourth cor ures-
sional district is better organized than
any district in the state AS a statesman

Like ex-President Harrison. and the
late Dudley @. Haskell. late member Of
congress from the Lawrence district lie
believes that markets for his constitu-
ents are of more importance than the
theories of VI althus and Ricardo. But
when considering tariff legislation, he
contends for the protection Of the in
terests of his constituents and the
people of Kansas The state of I0uisi-
ana is represented in both houses Of
congress by Democrats; these mem bers f
of congress from Louisiana are dlsci-
pies Of the English system Of free trade
but they insist that the sugar Industry
of Louisiana must be protected bv the
levy Of tariff on all imported sugar
