 cial shape--Other Railroad

GOOD FOR. TOPEKn

The action of H. u. Nudge in ae-
ceptng the second vice presidency Of
the Rock Island system has turned
out to be a splendid thing, not only for
Mr.. Nudge, but for Topeka and Kan
sas, IN spite of the fact that Topeka
and Kansas very much disliked to see
Mr.. Nudge leave the state.
MI Mudge's knowledge of the rail-
road world and the future deveIon-
ment Of the west has indicated to him
the strategical Importance of ToneIxa
to his road, and the result is that To-
peka gains the headquarters of the
operating department of five thousand
of the eight thousand miles of the
Rock Island system.
Then, too. Mr.. Mudge's accen+anoo
OF his new position has led to the a7-

sENAToRIAL TINIBER.

There has been some intimation
( that Governor Hoch may be a candl-
date for United States senator before
the next legislature. It is undoubtedly
| all guess-work thus far, and yet Gov
/ ernor Hoch is receiving some earnest
support for the place.
William Allen White recently pro
tested against spelling a governor by
filling him with an ambition to get an
other job before he has finished the
work he has on hand in his present
one The discussion has now gone
beyond the boundaries of the state,
and the Washington Evening Star took
it UP few days ago and made some
very sensible comments on the sub
ject. In the course of its remarks the
Star said;
mot unlikely Governor Hoch would
made a very good senator. If he IS
making a good governor we may be
certain that he would. The one place
is often made the stepping-stone to
the other. Passing in governors
chair upon local legislation is very
good training for the duties of ma
tional legislator. Some of the most
useful members of the senate in times
past had their first experience in pub
lie affairs as governors of states.
'But it is probably true that for the
present Governor Hoch would serve
his people best where he now is. He
was selected for his Office to meet a
given emergency. He was the man
who best typified what the people at
that time wanted. and he is justify
ing his election. His work is prob
ably not complete, and until it is. and
has been made safe. he should not
give his attention to other things.
Particularly not to his own personal
advancement. If a senatorial prize is
ever to be his he Will draw it all the
sooner for meeting to the full public
expectation in his present office.
I'VE may consider in this connection
the case of Governor Lafouette. He
was called to the governors chair as
the man best qualified to give the peo-
pie of Wisconsin what they wanted
in a given line of policy. In fact, he
had formulated the policy, and was
recognized as the one who should give
1t official expression. He put his best
energies into his work, and after one
or two defeats finally secured the de-
sired local legislation. Then his
friends suggested him for the senate.
and he availed himself of the oppor-
tunity presented. His work at home
is done. and the work he viii under
take here will we may be sure. be
all the better done for his experience
III the office of governor of Wisconsin.
Governor Hoch may arrive later.
He need not hurry. He is not an old
man. and for some years yet national
questions viii be very attractive for
those who desire to have a share in
shaping them. Let the senatorshfp
come as reward of gubernatorial
merit"

way Mr.. Hyde, who has been holding
an important position of trust deliber-
ately risrepresented facts now clear
to everybody. and thus made the mis-
representation to the thousands OF
policy holders Of the Equitable. WITH
in a few hours after he made this de-
NAL the negotiations, which had peeh
under way for several days for the
disposal of some of the Hyde STOCK
reached a conclusion. and the reor-
ganization of the company was maze
accordingly. 1t is true that the Assoc
eiated Press knew that Mr.. Hyde was
not telling the truth, and Informed It's
readers that, in spite of his denial, the
transfer of some of the Hyde holdings
was in progress. But this does not
alter the fact that this official, holding
a place of great responsibility, deliber-
ately did all in his power to mislead
the policy holders as to the facts in
the case. But you can't expect any
man to rise much above his face"
Here is another instance: Once
upon a time there was a private meet
ing in Topeka in which there was, in
newspaper parlance, a story A State
Journal reporter was detailed to get it.
A certain Topeka man of considerable
prominence knew all about it, but the
reporter failed to find him at first, and
so a number of other persons were
sought. Each stated that the man re-
ferred to was present at the meeting
and that he knew all about it. Each
told little of the story and the state
ment of each put together made it
complete. Then the reporter ran
across the man who was supposed to
know it all, and he was asked about
the meeting. He declared he was not
there, and even pretended ignorance
of the whole affair. Nothing remain
ed for the reporter to do but to print
the statements of the other people
that the man was there. and his own
statement that he was not there. The
lie on his part was so foolish and IN
called for that it looked silly and
everybody laughed at him.

KANSAS COMMENT
iAGNn HENRY.


The Gazette has no desire to be a
straddler. and to be caught playing both
sides, so that in this congressional tight
in the Second district, it desires to ex-
press the hope that Congressman Scott
may lick the daylights out of Henry
Allen. This is said in sorrow and not
in anger, and with the highest respect
for Mr.. Allen. It fact, the high regard
in which Mr.. Allen is held in this Office
inspires the hope that he may never
spoil good fellow by going to congress.
There is something about the congress
of this great and glorious country of
ours that spells man. And Henry AL
len is good enough to keep. Congress
has done all it can do for Scott. He
is Dr.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde. At home
as editor Of the lola Register he gets
out clean, decent, brave home paper.
In congress he is a congressman. He
has all the fear of tradition, all the awe
Of fiapdoodle that other congressman
have. He is afraid of public opinion
in Washington. He stands up before 1t
in lola The Gazette has no desire to
see Henry Allen get askeered of any
thing, anywhere. It has no desire to
feel that little tuft of cotton growing
up between the buttons of Henry's
Prince Albert coat that grows at the
base of every congressional spine. There
are rabbits enough in the world-and
they breed rapidly as it is. Therefore
under the circums tances, as congress
has done all the damage it can do to
one good man, the Gazette feels that
the thing to do is to save the boy! To
the rescue quickly come, and keep one
of the finest young men in Kansas from

His Last Duck Hunt.

eff there is one think of which I
have absolutely no knowledge, it is
hunting and fishing" remarked John
S. Inglis, of the Union Pacific freight
department. Il never caught a fish or
killed a bird in my life, and suppose
I never will. I couldn't tell you the
difference between a striped bass and
a malIard duck, unless it came in on a
platter. But I have a friend who is a
sportsman. You never saw such a
keen sportsman in your life. He has
a big room full of guns and fishing
tackle and all kinds of sporting para
phernalia. He used to worry the life
out of me with his persistent invita-
tons to go hunting and fishing Finally
I agreed to go duck hunting with him.
He provided all the regalia. Among
other things he ordered a lot of shells
from a downtown gun store, and was
to go and get the shells and pack them
in my grip. I got the package from
the gun store. and we went to Alviso.
We were proceeding up a slough in a
small boat in the cool of the early
morning when he ran into a million
ducks.
"'open up that package of shells!'
yelled my friend.
II opened the package. It contained
rs pounds of assorted flshhooks. I

In a high school commencement adj
dress delivered last week, Chancellor
Strong is reported to have said in sub
stance that he hoped the young grad
yates before him might have to do none
of the rough work of life. It is to be
hoped that the esteemed chancellor said
no such thing, for he knows as does
every man of practical affairs, that ev-
cry boy and girl has to do with the
rough things of life'' in order to attain
success, and they are better men and
women for having been obliged to do
them. 1t is probable that nine-te
