Topeka is mighty fortunate in hav-
ing a team like the White Sox. Just
think how monotonous it would be if
we had a team like Oklahoma City
and knew that we could just go
around over the country licking every
thing else in the league As it is we
have a variety, which is the spice of
life. Sometimes we get licked, and oc-
casiOnally we don't. There's some ex-
element about having a team like the
White Sox- Might as well look on the
bright side.

Cloncerning seasickness.

Two congressman, discussing the
discomforts of travel, happened to
branch off on the subject of seasick-
ness. One of them said:
Talk about seasickness; the fellow
that travelled with me on my last
European trip beat anything I ever
met in all of my experience before.
I tried all sorts of remedies on him,
but without avail. He kept repeating,
oh, I am so sick-I am SO sick

EROM OTHER PENS
fOV. VARDAMAN's ACTIVITY.

Mississippi, under the activity and
nervy leadership of Governor Varda-
man, is about to furnish a salutary ex-
hibition of how to deal with murder
Gus mobs. Eleven of the persons i'm
plicated in the murder of Sheriff Poag,
of Tate county, who was killed while
defending his prisoner. have been in
dicted, and the prospects are fair for
their conviction and punishment. The
execution OF the ringleaders of this
mob and peniteniary sentences for
the balance would have a wonderfully
restraining effect upon future mobs
that might otherwise take it into their
heads to murder officers of the law as
well as criminals.-Chattan Times.

THE THEATRICAL TRUsT

The decision in the case of Mr.. Net

did not like his criticisms, is rendered
by mere police justice. but it reads
like good law. and it is certainly good
sense. Nobody particularly cares
to the theater or not; but when he is
kept out by a conspiracy, the public
will sit up and take Chicago

Kansas bankers in session at Topeka
were shown the sights of the city.
