Today he is master of the classics.
He can recite Shakespeare to you till
you want to murder him. He can
quote from Herbert Spencer, Carlisle,
Emerson. He has read and studied
nearly every important work on his
tory, science, political economy, phil
osophy, art and drama published in
the English language. AS an orator
he has few equals. He can sway an
audience as few men can. If he wants
to make you cry-you cry. II he
wants to make you laugh-you laugh.
Very few of our political bosses"
can do these things. But here is an
other bit of startling information: He
Is an author. His activities in that
line have ranged from very forceful
essays to very bad doggerel. He
writes for mental recreation-not for
money. Frankly, he might not be
able to cash many checks received
from pulsating publishers of his
verse. Some of his poetry Is lame
in one foot, but 1t always contains
that dominant note in his make
up-humor.
Such success as Mr. Hanley has at
tanned should be attributed, believe,
to his wonderful genius for organiza-
ton. He has been systematic. His
employees in the Dayton Natural Gas
company with which corporation he
took employment in 1891, as a clerk
at 5000 a year, by the way)-will ten
you enthusiastically how methodical
he Is In the conduct of that concern.
He is now vice president and direc-
tor of the Dayton Gas company and
director, secretary and treasurer of
three other gas companies, of the
Dayton Street Railway company and
a director of the Miami Loan and
Building company. Those are the
only corporations with which he is
connected, and he isn't ashamed OF
any one of these connections. Each
Of them is local corporation.
But in reference to his systematic
ways: He has served in various ca
pacities on committees Of the Demo-

He wants to succeed Charles w. f.
Dick, who will shortly become a
vague and indistinct memory by rea-
son OF the recent affair which Demo-
Gratis look upon as sunshine and flow
or but which Republicans very gem
orally regard as an attack Of append
tcitis. But to resume: Mr.. HaIley,
as stated, Is a candidate for the SEN
ate. He is frankly and openly can
didate. He says SO. In effect he
says, II want the office. / believe
that It is a great honor to be a SEN
ator. II l secure the Office I'll secure
1t honestly, openly and above board"
That illustrates another phase Of
the Hanley character. He is decided
ly-sometimes embarrassingly-frank.
Once upon time while he was chair
man, / believe, of the congressional
committee In the Third district there
was demand for money "to get out
the vote" In q particular section of
the district-an insistent demand that
didn't ring true. Mr.. Hanley called
into conference the members of the
local committee that had been max
ing the demand and-rlght In the
heat OF contest, remember-gave
them verbal trimming that was a
classic. 4 was volcanic. He told
them that they ought to be ashamed
OF themselves-that they couldn't
iegitimately spend that much money
if they worked overtime at the pleas
ant task of spending, and that, in
short, he'd be everlastingly dashed

tioal" politicians were very much
aggrieved. But they went away har-
boring a wholesome respect for Han
aey along with their resentment.
Now, of course, great many peo-
pie will be surprised at this. l don't
blame them. Recently a number Of
nnfriendly newspapers have been pic
turing Mr.. Hanley in crimson colors.
They have been calling him all sorts
of a plutocratic persona boss-a
hireling OF the "interests"-a mon

Washington, Dec. 9.-Texas, the
largest state in the Union in point of
area, now takes rank as fifth state

The population of Texas is 1896,

A number of Dayton business men
went out to see an amateur baseball
game one day last summer-a game
that was being played by scrub
mines, the members of which we're all
well known locally. The usual mum.
Der Of bad plays that might be ex-
spected from inexperienced players
marked the game and furnished the
amusement.
One ample chap among the players
was particularly "rotten," as the
Baseball fans would put It. He struck
out when he came to bat, "muffed'

down when he attempted to pick up
a "grounder." The crowd yelled and
laughed and made remarks. At the
end OF the inning the player ambled
over to the group of business men

grounders," he remarked to II. W.
Hanley, who was one of the group

The verb collar has long been used
transitively, meaning to seize or take
hold Of person by the collar; more
loosely, to capture" The verb was
thus employed early in the seventeenth
century. Steele in the Guardian, No.

A letter from reader in Utah makes
inquiry IL we are pessimist. Three
days ago we were idiot enough to let
Judge Mccall take our dictionary with
him on q trip to Florence. and as he
has not returned we are somewhat IN
doubt about the word. If 1t means the
same as phoenix, then we are a pessi-
mist. Phoenix means to rise from the
ashes. We have riz. We can't say
about the ashes, but the way we have
shot up has astonlshed the whole
world If pessimist is as homely as
the editor of the Givadam Star and as
cranky as the town clerk then we re.
spectfully decline the honor.
Monday evening last the so called
"Shakespearean Combination" of Chi
cago presented the play Hamlet to
a large audience at the Hellso Opera
House. The part of Hamlet was
taken by tenderfoot who couldn't
have got the drop on a blind man
standing under an electric light. He
walked around considerably and talked
more or less, but he didn't really
amount to shucks. 1t was the same
with the other characters, and the
show wasn't half through when the
boys shot the lights out and ended the
game. We drink poor whisky out this
way, but we know Shakespeare from
Tom Jones, and it's no use to try to
fool us.

ever, that while he is circulating over

Some Of our subscribers are finding
fault with us because we have so little
to say about politics. They forget that
we are postmaster and desire to hang

and no one the better for It. Pull your
own chestnuts out Of the fire.
Colonel Jim Bryan stopped his copy
of the Kicker the other day because
we would not advocate a war with

excitement he should go out and stir
up the mountain lions.

from sleep by an alteration in front
of the office, and we picked up a gun
and hustled out. Our city marshal
had come across Lung Sing, the laun-
dryman, and ordered him to move on.
Lung Sing was willowy tight and re-
fused to move. Not only that, but he
had the drop on the officer, and we
got out to find Bill on his knees and
begging the beathen not to pull the
trigger. 1t took us just thirty seconds
TO wreck Lung Sing and boot Bill
around the corner, and now we want
a new marshal.
Mr.. Rocky Mountain Bill, who struck
the Gulch three days ago, tried to do
smart thing yesterday. He set out
TO ride his cayuse up long flight OF
stairs to the mayors Office. We hap
pen to be the mayor, and we happen
ed TO be in at the time, and we also
happened TO shoot a bullet through
Bllrs shoulder to learn him better
manners.
In the rush and hustle of getting out
a great family weekly like the Kicker
It has often occurred that we have
branded individuals as horse thieves,
liars, robbers and murderers. We have
meant well in so doing, and the local
vigilance committee has seldom gone
wrong In following our advice. We
do not claim to be infallible, however,
and when we do call down an inno-
cent man we are ready and willing to
apologize.
An eastern subscriber to the Kicker
writes us 10 inquire If this town has
mineral springs and is a health re-
sort. 1t has no springs as far as we
know Of, and it isn't exactly n health
resort. The climate Is healthy or un-
healthy, according TO the man. He
may gain a pound week for months
or he may be hanged on the first day
Of his arrival. If you have a good
thing in the east stick to 1t.
As town and as a people we are
certainly becoming criminally careless.
The other day we started off up Apache
avenue without our guns. A red head
ed stranger opened fire on us, and we
lodged about trying TO borrow a pistol.
The result brought out a singular state
OF affairs. Steve Whites pistol was
unloaded; Abe Johnson's was caught
in the lining Of his pocket; Tom VIII
llams had forgotten his; Pete Davis
had his In his bootleg and had to wait
TO pull off his boot. OF the seven men
we asked for a gun not one could help
us out, and we finally had TO run for
1t. AS a crowd we ought to be asham-
ed of ourselves.
Sunday afternoon we were called up
by telephone from Cactus Corners to
receive the information that the town
had just hanged a man who claimed
to be a subscription agent for the
Kicker and who had raked In quite a
sum of money. Our thanks are due
and given. 1he Kicker employs no
agents of any sort. When you run
across one claiming to be, shoot or
hang him and put us under renewed
obligations.
