ONE MORE LETTER.
CONTINUED from Page One,

pays you $1,000 year to be the ex-
ecutfve head of it's enormous business.
You are the responsible head of the
state and nine-tenths of the states
money is spent by men employed or
retained in office by you. In the last
sixty days, you have not spent three
consecutive days in the executive Of
fee. Since the first day of January,
you have not averaged two days
week in your office attending to the
states business. In the last sixty days,
practically your entire time, the time
of your private secretary, who receives
$4,000 a year from the state, and one
or more of your clerks, has been de-
voted, not to the business for which
you are selected and paid, but to the
task of re-electing yourself to the
same office.
When the people of Kansas desire
to see their chief magistrate on bust
ness they must either be satisfied with
his private secretary or hunt him
down with an automobile somewhere
in the state pursuing the elusive voter
or find him in hall persuading his
constituents that he is the greatest
business governor" on earth.
Honestly, governor. do you think
that any business enterprise would
employ and pay manager who de-
votes less than one-fourth of his time
to the business for which he is en-
pIoyed and paid? You will perceive
that your peculiar view of your Off
cial duties and privileges give you
great advantage over me. The state
is paying you $4,000 year to make
your campaign for reelection. for that
is absolutely all you are doing, or in
tend to do for the next sixty days In
addition, the state pays $4,000 year
to your official private secretary to
carry on the literary end OF your cam
paign. You have another great adj
vantage; the Capital is your personal
organ. Every word that drops from
your lips is precious; every utterance
of yours is placarded in the most con-
spicuous place on the front page and
with a scare head. When I, a Repub-
Iican, entitled to some consideration
from a Republican newspaper, at

Witches.

Scattered.
Game a Good One From Every
Standpoint.
HELD TO A FEW HITS.

The Izzybelles of wichita were given
the cold shoulder at League park by
pitcher Kaufman, who deigned TO
smile but thrice and that at easy in
tervals. There wa ssimply nothing do
ing. there weren't even any ptnches,
SO the visitors picked up their goose
eggs and caught the bus. Meanwhile
the CooIeysox had crossed the plate
four times and the final count showed
a score of to 0.
Topeka won by punching hits and
walks. It took two singles and a
double and an error to get two across
in the first. Wooley led off with
safe one over second, went TO tnlro
on q. hit by Reilly and scored when
Clair erred on Thomason'S grounder.
Reilly at third was caught on Ian
dreth's fielder's choice at home Whlle
Thomason advanced to second, where
he staid while Pennell few to center,
and ambled hcme when Kunkle dou-
bled to left. Boles hit high to Mid
Boles started the encore in the
fourth by a joy ride to first and the
theft of the two next sacks. At third
he rested while Kerns drew a walk
and hove up at second on Kaufman S
sacrifice, Wooley then struck out and
Clair taking Reilly's sizzler off the pan
threw it out of the window while Boles
and Kearns logged in. And then Mr..
Aitchison walked another but he
couldn't count.
But though the Jobbers as a whole
could not hit the ball, WesterZil, indi-
vidually batted 1000 and only got one
hit in four times UP. In the first he
sent a Screamer into left and whether
Just for that or because he couldn't
help it, the Great Egyptian peppered
him in the Stats on his three returns
to the plate.
It was when he hit him the second
time and he went around to third on
a hit by Jokerst, taht- Topeka got a
chance to see Chicago Isbell in action.
Icy conceived the idea that he might
save shut out or get those two runs
in by replacing the beaten pitcher at
the bat. But the slants of Bolivar
mystifed his rest dimmed eye and the
last Of the three he struck at could
not have been reached with a fish pole.
Shaw was sent in for Jokerst in the
ninth to no avail. A feature of the
game was one handed stop of Kerns
hot one by Westerzil in the fifth.

his travels over this division of the
