letter writers, of this engaging period

terms. Tropes, metaphors, and SMILES
'adorn every page and the supreme eie-
gance of the language is rivalled only
by the elusiveness of the idea, which is
lost in an eddy of words. Marriage is
always alluded to as the "hymenial

"hymenial emancipation from parental

FATHER AT REST.

Mother has taken a cottage
Far, far from the toil-ridden town,
Far out from the SCOT that forever
FROM towering chimneys comes down;
Mother has gone with the children.
She went with glad hopes in her breast
But do not waste pity on father,
AT last he is getting a rest.
He hears no wild bowling from Eddie,
Because Frank has taken his ball:
His sleep is unbroken by babies
That blubber for nothing at all.
Mother has taken a cottage,
But If the whole truth is confessed,
It may in all candor be stated
That father is getting the rest.

KANSAS CONNENT
WHO IS HE?

/ WHO Is HE
a Iellow named H. s. Daniels, reg
| istered from Wichita Kansas, was
| stopping at the Riggs House in Wash
ington last week and took occasion to
| give out an interview on the political
situation in this state. He said that
Roosevelt year ago was very popu-
| lar IN Kansas, but that sentiment had
greatly changed and if a candidate
now he would not carry the state;
tnat the people of Kansas believed in
states rights and the policies that
are advocated by the president are
now very unpopular out here. He
further says that the agitation the
president has stirred up is regarded
by majority of the people as men
ace to our business prosperity.
we never before heard of this fell
low Daniels. but he talks more like
wall street broker than anyone 1iv-
ing west of the Mississippi. We have
not the slightest idea as to what his
business is, but from his converse
ton we are strongly of the opinion
that he is in the service of some cor
poratlon. Any man who lives in Kan
sas who would make the statements
attributed to Daniels is either grossly
ignorant or dishonest. Roosevelt Is
as strong in Kansas as he ever was.

Whom the Republican national con-

Kansas by anywhere from $4,000 to
100000 majority. Any man whom
that convention might name who is

Kansas has always been with the
president, was with him when he was
nominated for vice president at
philadelphia. and has been with
him every day since. He was
never stronger with the people OF
Kansas than he is today. 1t is a
libel on the political character of
Kansas for. any man who registers
as one of its citizens to blatantly de-
clare that Kansas is against the poll

states rights and for the trusts, as

While men. women and children are
being merrily sandbagged, swindled,
assaulted. blackmailed and slaugh-
tered, that part of the public which
can look away from the anarchy for
a moment is being treated to a warlike
but harmless spectacle on the side.
The police commissioner cries that the
city magistrates are to blame for the
crime wave, in that they are excess
sively lenient toward prisoners arraign-
ed before them. The accused magis-
trates parry the thrust with a blunt
denial, saying that they always hold
defendants on the most serious charge
possible under the evidence. Then
some other officials, backed up by
host of private citizens. declare that
the police themselves are entirelv to
blame, being sodden with gin and
