Judge Fosters Endorsement.


After Governor Leedy's speech, in
which he scored the political hypocrlts
who are attempting to- belittle the
present governor for purely political
purposes, Judge G. G. Foster of the
q. S. court wrote Governor Leedy as
follows:
SIT is some satisfaction to know that
you are to be governor during the time
for which the people elected you. al
though l did not vote for you-and the
attempt to bulldoze the chief executive
of the state by handful of prohibi-
tionists has been properly rebuked.
The fact is, you have appointed
three good, competent men as police
commissioners for Topeka. They have
reduced expenses and enforced the
laws with reasonable diligence.
''The police force has some other
duties to perform besides hunting for
beer and whiskey, and suppose that
the governor of the state can find more
important public duties than hunting
for joints.
"If your bold stand results, which 1
believe it will, in forcing this question
before the people and having it settled
once for all, you will have rendered the
state and the cause of true temperance
a service that will not be forgotten"

The Neodesha Derrick has the fol-

who sometimes tell other people how
to run their business: when you ask
the editor to suppress an item of news
because it does not please you, then go
to your grocer aud ask him to quit
handling pickles or prunes because you
don't like them, or to your butcher aud
ask him to exclude bologna and head

Base Ball Philosophy.

A base ball philosopher is the au.
thor of the following proverbs:
He who hesitates is out.
Strike while the pitcher is hot.
A closed glove catches no flies.
Good pitching in time saves uine.
Where there's a hit there's a way.
A fool and his base are soon parted.
It's short game that has no kick
ing.
The race is not always to the base
runner.
If at first you don't succeed, try the
outfield.-Larned Optic.

Had the proceeds of this dance been a
