VatiVeS.

Since an early date,-said by some to
be closely associated with the funeral
of the late Noah,-Judge Buck has been
active in politics. He is not only a
pioneer in the matter of residence, but
in the temperance work of the state,
and was largely instrumental in the
passage of the law which removed
booze drinking in Kansas from the
realms of incident, and placed it in the
event class. Years ago the judge was
representing his district as a member
of the house, and history hath it that
he left his imprint on many good laws.
Another movement in which Judge
Buck is and has been interested, is wo-
mans suffrage. He believes that the
country would be better if women
were permitted to assist in the man
agement thereof.
Judge Buck is a lawyer of ability and
vast experience, and citizen who is
an honor to the district in which he
resides.
Mr.. John S. Hopkins of Holton bears
a slight facial resemblance to Tom
Plat, but there is ample authority for
the statement that the resemblance
ends there. He is the father of Scott
Hopkins, the Topeka banker, but his
own town he is considered man of
sound judgment and excellent charac-
ter, and the same recognition is slowly
filtering through the brain of the Kan
about him. His carefully manicured
whiskers and correct garb mark him
as a man of taste. His actions and
legislation mark him as man of good
sense.
Among me assortment of bills
brought to Topeka by Mr.. Hopkins of
Jackson, is bill relating to marriage.
AS a law, this would be a good thing
for the human race. 1t forbids the
marriage of diseased or mentally I'M
sound persons, and provides against

Judge ]. Jay Buck, of Emporia, is a
jurist of note. and an old timer. He
came to the Kansas legislature, as rep
resentative from the F'iftieth district, in
the interest of his profession intent
upon passing some laws much needed
in the practice of law. Because he is a
lawyer and knows the difference be-
tween law and mob rule, some of the
alleged legislation offered at this time,
CRATES upon his nerves. Therefore his
voice may be heard at frequent inter-
walls, objecting to the passage of meas
ures which should be relegated to the
resolutions committee of the Lime
Kiln club. But even a stampede of
rabbits is hard to stop, and lot of
piff1e has been passed over the heads

intermarriage between certain races
which the Maker never intended to
mix together. There are stumbling
blocks in his bill, such as the medical
examination of applicants for marriage
license. In time, however, it might be
that the question. "Will you marry
me?' could be changed without en-
barrassrnent to: "Win you go with me
to the examining physician?" Every
thing is a matter of custom, and this
custom might be established. The
worst feature would arise from the be-
lief of many that marriage or the de-
sire to get married, is one form of
insanity. The bill leaves it to the dis
erection of the court to decide all ques-
tons The court might hold with the
above belief and marriage in his dis
trict would become a matter of his
tory.
The presentation of Pawnee Rock
marked a step in the direction of pre-
vailing custom. Kansas is young in
years. but mature in history, and un-
less this thrilling history is preserved
in the manner adopted by the ladies'
of the Kansas Day club, the signifi-
canoe will fade with the present gener-
alton. IN the New England states. his
tory is preserved in this way, and the
country is better for it.

Topeka can consider herself lucky
that a bad fire did not break out dur

had broken out in the business dis

of property would have been i'm

full nervousness for any expected

that gets on the nerves of a fireman
it is the expectation of a fire. A fire
