WILL HAVE A Lot OF FUN.

G. c. Clemens of Topeka, who takes
more pleasure in leading forlorn hopes
than anybody else in Kansas, has just
appealed the case of four jointkeep-
ers to the United States supreme court
The appeals are taken on the ground
that the druggists permit law is IN
constitutional because it confers upon
the probate judge absolute power. Of
course Clemens will lose his case, but
he will get a lot of enjoyment out Of
making the fght.-Ottawa Republic.

WORD comes from Phoenix that
Governor Klbbey wears a larger hat
than he did a few months ago, when
the men who delighted TO honor him
called him Judge. The effect OF the
swell In his head IL such that be
thinks differently than be formerly
did when he was known as a nan who
could be relied o.. whose word was as
good when his back was turned as
when facing his friends. An exhi.
bltion OF this change was made at the
recent meeting OF the territorial
board OF equalization. 1t has been
noted that the Arizona & New Mexico
road has been assessed nearly as much
as the Southern Pacific, at about the
ratio Of 5000 TO $1,000. This was
conceded to be unfair to the Arizona
& New Mexico road, and it sent a rep.
resentatiye TO the board, VINO ex.
planned that most OF the other roads
OF the territory had a fair traffic In
freight in both directions. while on
this road there was freight 10 only
one direction, into camp. The only
thing the road ships out Is copper, and
less than three carloads a day is the
mount shipped. All the other freight
cars have TO be hauled out empty at
an expense to the road, instead OF a
profit. The board saw the point and
by a vote OF four TO two decided to
reduce the assessment from last years
figures. The representative supposed
that this settled the matter, and did
not consider it necessary to stay until
the board adjourned to see that 1t did
not change the decision. When the
report OF the board vas made 1t was
found that the road was assessed the
same as last year. The LIBERAL
learns from Phoenix that at a later
meeting Of the board Governor Kibbey
moved that the assessment be put
back at its original figure. The gov
errors friends say that he would not
have played 80 small a trick a year
ago; that IL he had wanted to put the
rate up again he would have done it
above board, and not have waited
until the roads representative had
left town.
