KANSAS POLITICAL AFFAIRS
As Viewed BY a Writer On The Emporla
Gazette. An Interview with Fictitious
Western kansan.

WALT Mason, writer on William
kllep Whites Emporia Gazette, who
does 10 have the privilege Of saying
that there is whole lot Of rot being
puhhrhed in he various political and
other cop troversies il Kansas at the
: present time, recently relieved his
mind by giving an interview with
Chas Blabeslpy's fictitious character,
Tudgt Adna P. Grlstlebone,' and
leave lhs reader to infer that there
ia Just H. much in the Gristlebone
ideas as in some Of the others. Be
low il The interview:
;"Jndge Adna P. Gristlebone, one
Of the most distinguished jurists OF
WeeteIb Kansas, and man whose
t5oroueh grasp OF political condi-
tons II the West ha- ALWAYS made
his o, lnlons valuable, was at the Har-
WV House at BOOB, eDroute to Kan
s4s City. 1t was reported about the
depot that the Judge was Oh his way
totbe Kelley institute at that place,
but b. denied that story with some
warmth, saying that be was dele
ghte to the w. G. T. y. convention
Al ON aba.
s"However, there was no doubt that
tie Judge had three sheets in the
vino. aud the depot employees com
planned that as fast as they gathered
ub the Hostetter bottles, he distrib-
uted new supply, and there was a
general feeling Of relief when be
boarded train and disappeared in
the direction Of Topeka.
In The hope that be would shed
som. lew light upon the complex
political situation in the state, q GA
zette representative interviewed the
Judge, who discoursed freely Of state
affairs punctuating his remarks with
. cork-screw.
"This man Curtis" said Judge
Gristlebone, observes credit for his
grit, but he is going out Of his class
entirely when he challenges Jack
johnson, and be will simply get his
block knocked off If my memory
serves me right, Curtis was in one Of
the preliminary bouts that time Joe
Cannon and Jack 0'Brien met for
the welterweight championship, and
noticed then that be hadn't the
right kind Of footwork to be a first
rater. His wind was all right;
Charles wind is always all right,
but that's the best I can say for him.
he simply won't have char ce with
Jack Ketchell. much less with Stan
ley johnson"
Haven't you mixed things a little.
asked the reporter.
NO sir replied the Judge, sternly
II am taking my Hostetter's straight
mo mixed dridks for me. As !
was saying, when you butted in with
your impertinent question, this man
Zybscko will make soup bones Of
Stubbs. Why, Zybscko weighs -four
hundred pounds and has thrown al
the big husky dubs in Europe. HI

MacLennan's amphitheatre at Cedar
crest. and Frank told me Just yester
day that be never saw as fast man
considering his weight. He is onto
the toe-hold and all Of Gotch'i
tricks, and Stubs won't last two
minutes when they go on the mat
when the referee calls time"
