This man was the soldier who went
through an the war as a private,
In those days he exerted personal
mastery over every difneulty that pre-
saptad itself. Obedient in all things
- bis superior ofhcer. yet he thought
tor himself and at times fought in his
own way.
Never was a Confederate private
soldier merely a fghting machine Oh
muscle and strength, blindly driven on
and directed by the brains of higher
oBcers The Confederate soldier was
an individualist. He had a personal
nride the pride of manhood. That's
WHY he stood by the colors until the
last.
In the death struggle of the Confeo-
eracv he fought with the same deter
mipation and enthusiasm that marked
him four years before, when ne drove
the invader from the field of Manassas
He is a remarkable type, this private
Confederate soldier He had the stoi-
cism of the Spartan with the enthus-
iasm Of the Athenian.

in the free field of civil strife became

with staggering lawlessness. he
proved his courage on fields where
bravery was put to its supremest test,
Notwithstanding that all OF them
are more than three-score years, these
private soldiers of the ConfedeSacy
are still the strong and competing
force in that uplift which is now dom
inant in the life of the Southern
states.

Sixty houses built or building in
Greater Columbia! The music of the
saw and hammer spells prosperity.
When an un-urged boom strikes a
town it means that there is some
reason for it; that the town has a
solid foundation upon which to build.
If Greater Columbia expands thus
without effort, and without the Normal
school. what would be the result II
the Atlanta spirit should make every
citizen a booster and optimist and II
the states great educational institu-
ton should be located here?

In the selection of Gen. Clement
Evans, over his protest. as command
er.in-chief, the United Confederate
Veterans paid a pretty compliment to
one of the grandest old men of his
day. Gen. Caball was also a candi-
daate in spite of his advanced years,
and had Gen, Evans resignation been
accepted would have been honored.
Either selection would have reflected
credit upon the organization.

ROOSEVELT REFUSED.
When Asked to Become a Candidate
for Mayor.

New York. Nov. 25.-Theodore
Roosevelt toward the latter part of
his presidential term, fatty refused to
consider running for mayor of greater
New York to aid the Republicans
against Tammany in the recent
municipal election. This became
known today through Herbert Par
sons, president of the Republican
county committee who said he per-
sonally had made such propositIon
to Col Roosevelt
Mr.. Parsons said:
Il think Mr.. Roosevelt believed it
was an Office which required a great
deal of hard work. great deal of
attention to details. He had just
finished seven years of arduous work
at the White House and he did not
feel that we had the right to draft
him into the public service again. He
felt that as private citizen he
could still be of service to the state
and nation

former president If he would consent
to run for governor. He was sure
Col. Roosevelt went away without any
thought of ever becoming United

University Student Taken Home Suf-
fering From Blood Poisoning.

Lawrence, Kan. Nov. 25.-Harold
Lee, who has been at Simmons hospital
of weeks, has been taken to his home
in Oklahoma City.

bis elbow in a scrimmage and the
light wound became infected, bringing
on a serious case of blood poisoning.
Lee is a Phi Gam, and his fraternity
brothers say that while his condition
IS serious they hope for his recovery.
This is the first serious consequence
from football experienced in Lawrence

SC slight that it might have come to

GOVERNOR STOPS PRIZE FIGHT
Chief Executive VIII Not Stand for
Game i'm Kansas.

Governor Stubs will not stand for
prize fights in Kansas. The state law
is very drastic in regard to its pro-
visions forbidding the sport. The
governors expression on this subject
was called forth by the attempt of
the sports at Effingham and Kansas
City to hold a fight Sunday between
Corbett Collier of Kansas City and
Hector Dawn of Effingham.
The governor when notified of the
proposed mill by a preacher, sent the
following telegram to the sheriff of
Atchison county:
Stop prize fight advertised for Eff
fngham next Sunday. If you can't
do it, inform me at once so / can take
measures if necessary
The governor said he would send a
company of militia if necessary, to
prevent the fight.

New York. Nov. 2.-When Mrs. Ellen
Sullivan employed a man-of- all-work at
her boarding house she observed that he

make record for their college.
Thanksgiving games are always the
final games of the year and with many
of the players on Washburn field this
afternoon, the game today is their last
game-the final football chance of their
college lives. After today they go down
in history-and down and down and
down. The harder they play the far
Their down they go and their ambition
is to have their names remain as a god
in the college from which they grad
uated.
The condition of the two teams is ex-
cellent- Washburn was never in such
good shape as she is today. All the old
men who have been knocked out of the
game at different times during the sea-
son, thus weakening the team at every
play, are in good form. A game has
not been played since the Oklahoma bat
tie over two weeks ago. No charley
horses, no broken ribs, no stiff ankles
and no bruises can be located with the
Washburn men. K. S. A. c. is also tip
top. They have been gaining strength
right along since their easy game with
Paramount last Saturday. With the
strength they have the same old spirit
I'VE must beat Washburn."
The dope on the game is not a pendu-
1um this year-it has swayed over to K.
s. A. C.. and remains there. WaShburn
has contended all the season with bad
luck-but today they are able to brush
it all aside and commence over again
with the addition of the experience. The
agricultural college has won more
games than Washburn this year and
they have probably made a better rec
ord but they are combating with d
new proposition today. The dope favor5
Manhattan but the hopes favor Wash
