HE RAPs JUDGE BREWER.
DR.. Minney Laughs at Proposal to
Run Him for President.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
1t is amusing to note how age af-
fectS men as well as location and en-
vironment. Some time ago the emf
nent Kansas jurist, Judge Brewer de-
livered short diatribe on Roosevelt.
Kansans are proud of Judge Brewers
record in the past in the main, but
the Judge is showing signs of dotage.
His Kansas friends would be pleased
If the judge would be more discreet
in his utterances. We know a man
can not be great in everything and
the greater the man the more glar-
ing his weak points appear when
publicly displayed General Grant Is
reported to have asked Henry Ward
Beecher why a clergyman's faults
attracted SO much more attention
not know unless for the same reason
that a white garment showed the dirt
more than a co1ored one.
And now comes our old, esteemed
Ex-Governor Crawford, who used to
be one Of us indeed, but now in name
only and informs us that the country
has gone beyond it's bounds and we
will bring it back to a normal and
safe condition" More evidence of
dotage. 1t seems strange that the
east is not familiar with the west, but
passing strange that our own kith and
kin when removed from western soil
and particularly liberty loving Kan
sas soil, should SO soon forget their
debted for their success They, as
we'll as our eastern friends, fail to
comprehend the west with it's power
and greatness and big heartedness.

ATHLETICS AT THE Y. NC
Great Interest in Contests Which Arc
Confined to Local Organization.

Although the Young Mems Christian
association does not have athletic and
pasketDaIl teams competing with teams
OUTSIDE their own organization the
competitive spirit is INDUCED in inter
class and class teams and group games
and contests of various sorts in ways
that are safe and sane for men engag-
ed in the serious business of making a
living. Students have time for inter
school competition and there is value
IN II when rightly conducted, but the
associations policy is to conduct the
less serious fnter-class and class games
which are more recreative and not so
f1ercely fought.
The new term of class work just OPP
ening up for the winter and spring
months will include the following games
and contests: In each of the senior B,
senior A, student, employed boys and
Junior classes four teams are organic
ed with captains and schedules of bas-
ket and volley ball are played each
meeting of the class. In the business
and busy mems classes the game of
Volley ball only is played, being safe
and recreative for business men On
Wednesday evenings, games are play
ed between teams selected to represent
the various classes in basket and volley
ball. Tonight at 7:30 the students and
senior A teams will play volley ball.
This ought to be a rafting good game
as the students have not as yet been
defeated and the senior A bunch are
looking for their scalps.
AT o'clock on Wednesday evenings
one individual event is pulled off. To-
night the event is to be a springboard
high jump. AT the end of the season
the records are painted on a permanent
board in the gymnasium.
Following the individual competition
Will be the group games. New teams
are to be selected tonight for a series
of athletic sports and basketball ending
March 4. The interest in these games
continues to grow this season and no
doubt the election of new captains will
further stimulate them. Track and
floor events and basketball compose
the menu for each evening and the
number of competitors are limited to
40.
For those interested in swimming
there are aquatic contests. The senior
events take place on Friday evening of
each month and the junior events each
Saturday morning. Handsome first,
second and third ribbons are offered in
these events.

Fat Women and
Homework

Homework is harder on the stout wo-
man than it is on her leaner sister for
very obvious reasons Bending over
brings on that awful stuffed-up feeling
and causes her face to get red and coarse
looking. As a result many fat women,
naturally good housekeepers, let their
homes go rather than permit the work to
make their lives a misery
A good many try exercising and dieting
to get rid of the fat, but I want to say
here that if Homework will not take off
work is the most strenuous kind of exer-
else.
I recommend every woman who reads
this with interest, because it deals with
problem of her own, to give up exercising
and dieting as being bad and injurious,
and instead try the following simple mix
ture of household remedies. I guarantee
that in a reasonable length of time they
will have lost enough flesh in a natural
wholesome way to enable them to go
through their housework with pleasure
and comfort themselves This home re-
ceipt Is as follows: " o. Marmola, " OF.
Fluid Cascara Aromatic and 31z ozs. Syrup
Simplex, and the directions for taking are
1 teaspoonful after meals and at bedtime.
Now, don't make the mistake of think
ing that because these three things are
simple home remedies the combination Of
them can't be good for reducing the flesh,
there is a better combination for taking
off fat quickly and safely than the one
have given you above 1t does not disturb
the stomach cause wrinkles, and 1t
renders dieting and exercising entirely I'M
necessary. In addition to these advan-
tages, which am sure you will admit are
is Inexpensive and easily obtainable at any
drug store.

honorable, honest and a man,

honorable, honest and a man, in
ability of the first order, but who
seemingly failed in the financial crisis
just past, to recognize the rights of
the west. His environments are such
that he failed to shake them off and
he catered to Wall street. The west is
friendly to the east and will continue
this friendship unless the east per-
s1StS in the course it has pursued in
the financial matter during the past
80 days. Can a plausible reason be
assigned why the common people
should not share in holding the gov
eminent obligation in the form of
bonds? Why are these bonds not put
out in denominations that every wage
Garner can have an opportunity to in
vest in them? Why are the bonds put
out in such large denominations that
capitalists only have the money to Sc
cure them? Why are the common
people-those of small and moderate

Returning to our esteemed ex-
Governor Crawford, it looks to lay
man like he is trying to attract our
attention away from the main issue,
when he calls up the memory of
Abraham Lincoln. In my opinion the
three most prominent, greatest and
have made the most history and have
done the most for the American peo-
pie are Washington, Lincoln and
Roosevelt. True, opportunity was
presented and they were equal to the
emergency. But Governor Crawford
will recall that a call was issued for
a converting of governors during Lin
coins administration to circumvent
or correct abuses or show President
Lincoln some way out of the en-
tanglement he had plunged the nation
into. 1t was practically a rebellion
against Lincoln's administration.
But 1t came to naught. Why? The
common people were with the great
Lincoln and these Egyptian leaders
with their following were swallowed
up in the great sea of common sense
in the form of public opinion. 1t is
the same today in the case of Presi-
dent Roosevelt He stands for what
the people stand want and will
have. They are against no interest
that is square and fair.

2l l-2 cents a bushel and the yield
was small more than half what
can be raised per acre anywhere in

Corn has been selling all the year at

bread from western corn, and good
corn bread is mighty healthy.
