It is now Gov. Stanley. The verdict
OF the majority at the polls in NOvem-
Der was ratified by the inaugural cere-
monies at Topeka on Monday For
Gov. Stanley his troubles have just
commenced and his last reliance must
be UPON himself Honestly following
out his policy as outlined by himself
the people viii forgive much, but II Is
idle TO deny that the next two years
will be critical IN Mr.. Stanley's career.
Heretofore as a private citizen he could
criticize which IS paratively easy
to do; now he must act, a great deal
more difficult and not without dangers.
It is with the good wishes Of the people
throughout the state that Coy. Stanley
takes his seat.
Ex-Gov. Leedy retires to private life
with the respect Of voters Of other
parties who can throw partisanship
aside and with much regret by mem
bers Of MS own party. Mr. Leedy has
had a difficult role TO play during his
term of Office and it is needless to say
that he has done what he thought best
for the state first and for the party
that elected him next The calling Of
an extra session so near the close Of
his administration has been severely
criticized By the opposition press but
a careful investigation Of the % bills
that have been made laws during only
II days that the late legislature was in
session will surely result in invaluable
good and demonstrates that the state
lawmakers have not slept.

Uncle Fuller has evidently been
killed or died from heart failure,
caused by the defeat of his army in the
late school house war, but there has
sprung up a new person known as
Uncle Fuller III, who will persue the
cOnQuests and finish the writings of
the former as did Alexander finish the
plans laid down by his father, Philip,
in ancient times, but the two Uncle
Fullers hardly bear that relationship.

Why So Many NIasons.

The DEVILS Lake Inter Ocean tells
this story as coming from a little Hi
nOis girl who had prepared it for com
mencement, under directions to write
an essay on the wise man:
skiing Solomon was a man who lived
ever so many years ago, and in the
country that he governed he was the
whole push. He was an awful wise
man, and one day two women come to
him, each holding on to the leg of q
baby, and both claiming it. And King
Solomon wasn't feeling right well, and
he said: why could not the brat have
been twins and stopped all this bOther?'
And he called for his sword and was

home early Monday morning. Sud
