Kansas Notes in K. c. Star.
A few weeks ago the Fish War
den's organ at this place announced
that he was the best warden the
state ever had. The article was
probably written by himself as we
know personally, that when he came
back from the legislature three years
ago, that he wrote an article for
publication which claimed he was
the best legislator in the Legislature
and in a few years would be one OF
the leaders of that body. For some
reason the article was "blue pen
ciled" until it almost lost itsidentity.
What a vast difference between his
opinion of himself and the one re-
ferred to In the above clipping!
We might let considerable light be-
hind the scenes but we have no de.
sire to disturb the political dead.
Should we ever be compelled to gel
among any of the political carcasses
we guarantee that there won't be
enough left of them to afford suffic.
lent shelter for a small sized snow
bird.
