General Hudson Much Improved

II. A. Young, the real estate man,
who has been Gen. Hudson's closest
friend and business associate during
the last three years, hands US the fol-
lowing clipping from the Topeka Her
aid. Read what William Allen White
thinks of the man who has done more
to bring prosperity to Morgan county
than any n other man.
General ]. X. Hudson is slightly
improved today. He is still confined
to his room but is able to sit up in a
chair or walk around for a few minutes
at a time. He apparently feels we'll
and has wanted to get out for a day or
two. His physicians, however, insist
that he is not yet strong enough, and
says that he must stay in for some
time.
William Allen White, in his En-
poria Gazette, pays the following tri-
butte to the General.
"They say that General Hudson is
recovering. This news will please
Kansas, for Kansas has always admir-
ed the general-Chieny because he is
a ighter-a man of his W opinions,
a stalwart. For generations General
Hudson has figured prominently in
the public life of this state. He has
had many honors-but few of them
were official, and all of them were we'll
earned. He has seen stupid men rise
by accident into places of honor and
power, and go down in oblivion-or
worse. He has seen dishonest men
outstrip him for a time, but always fall
behind. He has been through adver-
sity, and he has attained the stars, and
now when he is making a good fight
for his life he has the sympathy and
good wishes OF thousands OF people,
who do not always agree with him, but
who always respect his motives, and
never question his integrity.
Thirty-five years IS a long time to
stay in public life. How few of the
men who started out with General
Hudson in Kansas politics back in the
early seventies, when Chester Thomas
was boss in Topeka. Tom Osborn
was the pride of the young crowd.
John J. ingalls, was just entering the
Tom Moonlight, Charley Blair
and John Martin were leaders in KAN
sas Democracy: when Blaine was just
beginning to get his chin above OBJ
security in Congress, and Tilden was
making his record in New York-how
lew men have lived to be a part OF it
all. What a lot Of water has gone I'M
der the bridge in thirty-ive years"
