HOCH SEES LELAND.
His Greeting Was Brief and They
Shook Hands.

Governor Hoch, Mrs. Hoch and the
other members of the Hoch family
dined late this morning. It was $40
when they came out of the Copeland
dining room.
Almost the first person that Gov
ernor Hoch met as he walked out was
Cyrus Leland.
Hello, Cy,'' said Hoch.
Hello, governor; how are yOu?"
replied Mr.. Leland, as they shook
hands.
"First rate" replied Mr.. Hoch.
That ended the interview.
1t was Sunday morning when Gov
ernor Hoch arrived in Topeka On
the train with him came a large dele
cation of Marion people. Mr.. Hoch' 8
two daughters, Edna and Anna, his
son Wallis, his niece, Miss Lolah Hoch,
Mrs Hoch's sister, Mrs. L. F. Keller,
and her father, Mr.. Dickson, were the
immediate relatives who came with
the party. Besides there was Dan
Lindsay, Governor Hoch's foreman on
the Marion Record for the past thirty
years, and therefore almost a member
pie who came down with the party
were the following: w. E. Taylor,
Chas. Bryan, Ralph Bryan, Ralph
Powers, Willard Kellar, Greeley Kyle,
Benz Bell. Ben Sanders, Albert Hold
er, Clarence Waring, Carol Sheldon,
and Frank F'irebaugh.
Governor Hoch was pounced upon
by the hungry mob of lobby politicians
as soon as he came out from break
fast. He finally managed to make his
escape up the stairs, and spent the
morning talking to people.
After the Inauguration Mr.. and Mrs
Bailey entertained the HOch family
at dinner at the executive mansion.
Governor Hoch stated that he had
no more appointments to announce,
and said he was feeling well.

Kansas Meat in Sandwich.

Kansas Meat in Sandwich.
Kansas is not a western state. Let
US disabuse our own minds of this
prevalent fallaey. Draw a line south
and north, and east and west, across
the United States and the lines Will
converge in the heart of Kansas.
Kansas is the central state. 1t is the
rich, juicy meat in the national sand
wich.
But, the real greatness of a state
is not measured by its territorial ex-
tent, not by its material resources,
but by its code of laws and by the
character of its people. Nowhere has
advancing civiliza ton ~crystalized in
better government, or lowered IN a
higher citizenship. Illiteracy has
found its lowest percentage here, and
crime its most meager statistics.

ITO be called by the confidence of

such a state is an honor any citizen
might well covet, but, my fellow citi-

truth that much is rightfully expected
of those to whom much is given. The

ITO the people of Topeka, those rep
resenting her social and business life,
I take this occasion to thank you for
the universal courtesy and considera-
ton you have shown to me and mine.
The evidence of warm personal friend
ship so generously bestowed will be
cherished with the pleasant memories
of my life.
Governor Hoch, you have been hon
ored by your party and your state, and
you are about to assume the duties of
the great office of governor. In every
honest effort of yours to build for the
good name and welfare of Kansas, you
are entitled to the support and encour-
agement of every loyal citizen and
assure you, sir, that no citizen of the
commonwealth will applaud with loud
er acclaim your every triumph for good
government than he who today trans
fers to your shoulders the mantle of
power.
1T is now my duty and my pleasure
to introduce to you GOVernor-eIect
HOnOrabel e. w. HOch'

ter Of supreme satisfaction for me to
know that UP to the close of my ad-
ministration, no scandal has attached
to any of the great institutions of our
state and that they have been conduct
ed upon high plane of official and
business integrity. This is the record
I have tried to make. this is the record
of which I am proud.
This ends my official career as gov
ernor of Kansas. l now step back into
the ranks and take UP the duties of
citizenship, and I assure all who have
been my friends. those who have ex-
pressed their confidence in me in defeat
as well as in victory. that will so con-
duct myself as a citizen that you viii
have no cause to regret that you were
numbered among my friends.
And, after all, the welfare of the
state and of society does not depend so
much upon the so-called leaders and
those charged with power, as it does
upon the life and character of the in
dividual citizen. The character of the
individual reflects the character of the
nation, honesty in public and private
life is more potential for the future
welfare of this country than the success
of any party. any creed, or any man.

Circular Letter to Farmers.

President Harvey Jordan Of the
Southern Cotton Association issued q
circular letter 20 the farmers Of the
South, Dec 18th, regarding a reduction
in cotton acreage for 1906. The letter
says, in part
1.-THE Southern Cotton Association
will not ask the farmers Of the South TO
reduce the cotton acreage for 1905 less
than that planted in 1906 The assOcia-
ton does ask, and insist, with all the
force at It's command, however, that
the acreage planted in cotton through
out the belt In 1906 be not increased du-
ring the planting season Of 1906 Let
the watchwOrd Of every Southern far
mer be diveTSihcatiOn, and through that
agency produce an abundance Of food
to maintain each farm.
1.-THE present estimated twenty seven
million acres planted in cotton Is suffi-
cient under normal climatic conditions
TO produce enough cotton TO meet the
demands Of the spinners for the Amer
lean staple. Any material increase in
the cotton acreage for 1905 will tend 10
staRnate the cotton market and de-
press prices below their legitimate val
ue. The legitimate laws OF supply and
demand Is the only true medium Of reg
ulating fair and legitimate prices for
our great staple product"
President Jordan closes the letter
with a strong appeal 10 the farmers 10
plant an abundance OF small grain, corn
and aide crops and urges them TO raise
more hay, cattle and hogs that the
farms may become more self-sustain-
Ing.
