Colonel Cooke is a Democrat with Re
publican procliYities and once ran for
congress on the Democratic ticket in the
Fifth congressional district. His ap-
pointment as a member of the board of
managers of the national military homes
was secured by John Martin when the
latter was United States senator from
Kansas ten years ago. Colonel Cooke
has been active in the management of
the military homes all over the country
ever since, and is therefore thoroughly
conversant with the conditions and
necessities of the LeavenwOrth home, as
well as what has been done at similar
institutions.
Colonel Cooke was born in New York
state, but he has been a resident of
Herington, Dickinson county, Kansas,
for nearly twenty years, where he has
been engaged in the banking business.
If he accepts the governorship of the
Leavenworth home, as it is expected he
will. 1T will necessitate his removal to
the home.
The place was offered him several
weeks ago at meeting of the board of
managers in California, but at that
time he declined. The place was urged
on him, however, and he took it under
consideration.
This and other positions under the
management of the board are not po-
litical jobs, and political influence is of
little use in securing them. The en-
dorsement of politicians and those in
authority is sought, of course, but such
endorsements carry only the personal
weight of the person making them.
There were several other candidates
of the governorship of the Leavenworth
home. Among them were Major w. W.
Martin of Fort Scott, who has been
treasurer of the home for a number of
years, and has been in charge of it since
the death of Governor Rowland several
months ago; w. w. Smith, Senator
Burton's private secretary; and Judge
S. r. Peters of Newton. It is stated
that the Kansas congressional delega-
tion endorsed Col. Smith, except Sen
ator Long and Congressman Murdoch.
who were for Judge Peters.

In the meantime Ed Greer, who was
supposed to. be fighting Judge Pollock
with some homemade affidavits, rises
and makes the following explanation:
There seems to be a good deal OF
speculation, locally and in the state,
over what position the editor of the
Courier occupied in relation to the ap-
pointment of Judge Pollock to the po-
sition of judge of the United States
court. In order to allay public anxiety
upon this all-important matter, we are
compelled to state that the editor of
the Courier refused to indorse Judge
Pollock for this appointment, for rea-
sons which appeared to him to be good
and sufficient, but which he has, up
to this time, refrained from either
writing or printing-and they were not
associated with two pairs or a full
house, either. We fully expected that
when President Roosevelt went through
the stack of Endorsements favoring
Pollock's- appointment, he would look
up with surprised expression and
say, These Endorsements are very fine
and creditable-but where is the in
dorsement of the editor of the Courier?'
We felt like the Irishman who ex-
planned his war record by saying that
the general never would let a battle
begin until he knew that Michael
ORafferty was in the ranks. 1t seems
(much to our relief that the president
made this appointment on Cy Leland S
verbal Endorsement, and therefore did
not get a chance to note the absence
of our written Endorsement"
