The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1904-01-28

In the face of this lack of patronage,
the State Journal is the most prosper
Gus and widely read newspaper in this
community and its circulation during
the year just ended broke all its former
records and exceeded any year in the
papers history The present month of
January exceeds that of any month of
1903. All of this is merely Introductory
to a brief statement; namely, that the
State Journals mission is to print the
news and be fair, striving to be reliable
and accurate; to assan the wrong and
commend the right and demand justice
for all.
We know that the attack upon Cover
nor Bailey is unfair, unjust and I'M
called for; that he has made a good gov
ernor. He has offended, however. peo-
boss him; has been accused of raising
taxes when his accusers have been the
guilty parties. He is an honorable.
decent, typical Kansas citizen, and is
not charged with a single corrupt act in
his official career in the legislature,
congress or the governors office, nor in
private or business life. He is as clean
and good a governor as ever sat in the
executive chair of the Kansas capitol
For defending Governor Bailey, this
paper is abused by organs, but we pro-
pose to keep on defending him in the
face of any temporary gains which his
guilty aecusers and disappointed office
seekers may secure.

SOMEWHAT PERSONAL.

Without attempting to show IN what
particulars Burton and Hech's friend
and Railey's opponent, Tom Kelly, is
so much better than the governor. the
Topeka Capital this morning goes off
two columns intimating that the State
Journal is not a Curtis organ. The whole
trouble with our somewhat dyspeptic
and altogether rabid anti~Bailey neigh
Dor is that it's ideas of conducting a
newspaper and the principles of the
State Journal are radically and ire
concilably different. This paper is not.
and never has pretended to be, an
organ of Mr. Curtis. of Mr.. Bailey, OF
Mr.. Broderick, or of anybody else. 1t
is newspaper. It stands alone in To-
pelxa as the only paper in which. read
ers can get all the news. The State
Journal enjoys a revenue from but two
sources: subscriptions and business adj
vertsfng It has no official state patron
age. and expects none, and is not an
applicant or candidate for any; al
though it's position in every city cleo
ton in the past eighteen years has
been upheld by the verdict of the peo-
pie of Topeka at the polls, it has had
no official city printing for five years.
and has never had the county adver-
Using. This newspaper is too indie
pendent to please dispensers of patron
age. The Topeka Capital receives the
official printing from the state, county
and city with remarkable regularity.

BASEBALL NOTES.

Bonno is the real thing,
Hopkinsville has not been awarded the
games in which Land caught while un-
der suspension. Secretary Parnbakcr
says in the Cairo News:
The game claimed by lIopkinsville
from Paducah on account of the latter
playing Land when under suspension
have not been credited 10 the Lunatics
simply for the reason that President
Thompson did not comply with the con
stitution requiring him TO give Adhesion
and notification 10 the secretary within
one week of the commission OF an illeg

games won by paducah while playing

UP IN A BALLOON.
Ewing Herbert, of Hiawatha, Takes a
Trip at St. Louis.

Kansas City, Nov. 2s.-Ewing Her
bert got in from the worlds fair and
left for Hiawatha today. He was a
happy man. He had done while in
ST. Louis the very thing he had longed
to do. He had gone up in a balloon.
Four years ago it had been adver-
tised in his town that he would make
the TIP. The fair came and the day
The goods. Herbert was also there,
but he changed his mind. The balloon
and the professional went up without
company.
When at the fair last week he at
once reported at balloon headquarters.
He got busy making aoquaintances
and friends. Found no one he knew,
but he just continued to butt in:
enough until Herbert let out his de-
signs. Then Baldwin took a last
glance at the long hair and the SLOUGH
hat. He saw suicide cranks and other
things written plainly in the features
of his buttinsky friend. Baldwin rec
ognized him no more, as he was not
in the heavy freight business.
Defeated, but not discouraged, was
Herbert, but he got in with Prof
Atweld, of Peoria, who was on the list
of regulars. This means that he was
ready to be called out any time there
was a vacancy for the day. There
must be one ascension each day.
So Herbert talked show to him next
fall at Hiawatha, big fair, something in
it. The professor got interested and
met a mere intimation by Herbert with
an invitation to Ego up" The chance
came next day. The morning hours
were full of nervous toll for him. The
time came to begin making gas for the
balloon. Things were doing for the
daily show. The noon hour arrived and
"get in said the professor to Herbert.
He did as ordered, but says he don't
remember just how he executed the
command.
''They let her co. says Herbert, land
she did go you can bet. She went up
about 500 feet and then started south.
Got up 200 more before starting down.
The professor wanted to throw out sand
ballast and go up higher but told him
had enough. 1t was cold and high
and st. Louis looked like dot on a
railroad map-not a county seat town
either. Finally we got eight miles south
and started down. The professor had
pulled the string and the gas was
escaping. Within 200 feet of the ground
he let out an anchor and we f1oated
along, gradually coming down and the
anchor caught in the top of a tree. We
were then about 100 feet from the
ground. He said it was all right, but
1 was fearful. We were hanging sus-
pended at about As degrees until the
gas got out some more and then grad
ually reached the ground An old far
mer came out and aided in getting the
anchor out of the tree. He wanted 81
and I gave it to him. I don't want any
more of tim cured"

SMITH TO COME SOON.
VIII Relieve Justice Atkinson of His
Place December 4.

Chief Justice Johnston today received
word from Judge Clark A. Smith of
Cawker, the newly-elected justice of
the supreme court, that the latter will
be in Topeka on Thursday, December 1,
and will then be prepared to take the
oath of Office and enter upon the duties
of justice of the supreme court.
Judge Smith is elected to fill the va
cancy caused by the resignation of
Judge Pollock from the supreme bench

Governor Bailey appointed Justice At
kinson of Parsons. The latter's COM
mission states that he shall hold the

qualified. Judge Smith was formally
declared elected by the state board of
canvassers today, and he can now take
the office whenever he shall qualify by
taking the oath of Office. His certificate
of election will be awaiting him when
he comes to Topeka on Thursday.
