KANSAS COMMENT
lie PREsTDENT.

Mr.. Roosevelt returns from his long
vacation in good health and ready for
the work awaiting him. 1t bulks large
and is most important. Cuba comes
first, and then Panama, and then the
session Of congress. This time last
year, upon his return, he was hailed
as a peacemaker. Russia and Japan
had just yielded to his influence, and
the war in Manchuria WAS at an end
He is no less a peacemaker now. for
although he is sending Warships and
soldiers to Cuba, 1t is with the view
first of all, of restoring order there. he
is not bidding for war with any portion
of the Cuban people. The president s
visit to Panama should be very inform
ing, and enable him upon his return
to say something Of great interest on
the subject of the canal to the people.
either through a letter to some official
or a special message to congress. So
much work calls for strenuosity, and
the president sets the pegs for that
quality. Washington Star.

SUGGESTION no HEARsT.

Not being a detective. Mr.. Hearst
can hardly be in two places at the
same time, but he might solve the hard
problem that is up to him by running
on one platform on Mondays, Thurs
days and Saturday and on the other
platform on the alternate days. This
might save some embarrassment for
II he should try to run on both plat
forms at the same time he might meet
himself three or four times a day, as
the platforms lead in opposite direc-
tons, and the complications would be
painful. On Mondays he might array
himself in his long coat and broad,
Texas hat. disorder his hair little, put
on a flowing necktie, and run furious
" and earnestly on the platform Of the
Independence league. On Tuesdays he
could come downtown with a sack coat
and a regulation derby and In a digni-
fed manner run on the Democratic
platform. Not every man could do
this, but Mr.. Hearst, who can change
his opinions by touching a button
would have no trouble at all.=ChIcago

knows whether Harris will bring out
this big Democratic stay at-home vote
or not. It is pretty sure that some Re
pubhcans will not go to the polls. This
stay -at-home vote on both sides is SO
uncertain that no one can possibly es-
innate the result with any considerable
accuracy, even if a fairly accurate poll
had been taken. And an accurate poll
this year IS impossible.

In discussing Julius Caesar with
a Shakespearean stadent recently,
Charles Il. Hanford was asked why
the title role OF the play was allowed
to hold a position OF such relative
unimportance In the development OF
the story. The supreme character of
all history, is. in Shakespeare's great
political tragedy, but little more than
a passive quantity; an inspiration for
great deeds and magnificent oratory
by other men.
1T may be-" said Mr.. Hanford
that the poets Intention was to
humanize the character and throw
new light upon II. In order to do this
II would be necessary to avoid the
popular idolatry which has survived
through SO many generations. And
IL must be remembered that the play
does not show the Caesor who Is
striving and achieving, but the
Caesar whose, career is almost
complete and who with all his great
ness, is less than the contending
forces which he has raised up around
him. And another thing" added
Mr.. Hanford, with satiric twinkle
In his eye, eft Ia possible that Julius
Caesar was great part when the
play was originally written. But
bad actors existed I'm Elizabethan
times as well as now, and perhaps
] only say perhaps-the actor who
had the role proved so inefficient that
Ii was decided to let the play go on
with as little of him as possible.
have seen such things happen I'm my
own experience. and human nature is
much the same from generation To
generation I do not mean to init
mate that there is any traditional or
psychological connection between the
part OF julius Caesar and bad acting.
Far from it. have played Julius
Caesar myself"

CHAMPS TO PLAY AT WICHITA
Game Already Scheduled With Jobbers
for March.

Wichita, Kan. Nov. 1.-The Chi
cago White Sox, the team that won the
worlds championship this year is to
play again in Wichita next season. The
whole aggregation is to spend the lat
ter part of the winter in Old Mexico
where they VIII keep in trim so that
they may hold the pennant during the
next year.
The White Sex are to play in this
city next March. On the last visit to
Wichita it rained almost continuously
and but one game was played. Not
withstanding the gloomy weather.
Charles Comiskey. president of the
Sox was immensely pleased with Wich-
ita and declared 1t to be one of the
most thriving and Industrious cities of
its size that he had visited
On the last day the team was here,
Mr. Comiskey was heard to remark
that he would like to be in the city
and play a game in fair weather. The
prOgnosticator of rains and shines it
Is hoped, will favor Wichita with good
ball playing days on the coming trip
of the White Sox.
Frank Isbeu will return tonight from
Chicago where he has been witness
in a damage suit against Comiskey. On
his return Isbell will stay in the city
during the balance of the year.
Charles Baker. brother-in-law of the
famous Ivy" said today: Frank
will return today. and expect that he
will bring with him the watch charm
with a sock enameled on it. and a
large diamond in the middle Of the
sock. This was the special prize given
the members Of the team winning the
worlds championship. 1t was at first
proposed to have diamond studded cuff
buttons. but the players vetoed this on
account of the cun buttons not being
conspicuous. The last time heard
from Frank the jeweled sock had not
/ been completed by the jeweler."
'''Will Frank go on the stage in COM
pany with the other members of the
team ?" was asked.
mo, the greater part of them are
now on the stage and are making a big
/ hit" replied Mr. Baker. Frank has
been having a strenuous time of it
and he intends to rest up this winter
