A RALLY OF YOUNG PEOPLE.
One Will Be Held Latter Part OF
September.

1t was decided at a meeting of the
Topeka Local Union of Young Peoples
societies held Monday evening at the
Westminster Presbyterian church to
hold a big rally of all young peoples
organizations in the city in the Audi
torium the last of September, starting
out with picnic supper and followed
by addresses and band music.
The speaker of the evening was DR..
F. N. Lynch of the First Methodist
church, who told of the International
Missionary congress held in July at
Edinburgh, Scotland, which he charac-
terized as being the greatest gathering
of Christians the world has ever
known.
It was decided to publish a monthly
or bimonthly paper in the interests of
the union provided that it is found pos
sible to obtain subscription list
which would justify the periodical
from a financial standpoint.
F. r. Brewer, the newly elected
president of the union, presided over
the meeting. The Seabrook Congrega-
tional church was rewarded the ban
ner for the largest attendance at the
meeting.

Judge Murff Resigns.

Judge Murff, the defeated candi-
date for congress in this district, has
resigned. In his card to the people
of Caddo Parish Judge Murff says:
II have two more years on the
bench, and could go on and serve
them out, but I feel that am losing
financially every day l remain on
the bench and that the sooner I get
back into practice the better it will
be for me for it is more remunera-
tive than the judgeship. Ihave been
5 advised to remain on the bench for
the next two years and punish my
political enemies, but my high appre-
citation of the duties and responsible
tiles Of my Office will not permit me
to prostitute it by using it as a
means OF gratifying any personal or
political grievance may have. AS
/ said in my platform for congress.
When. ever q representative of the
B people. cannot carry out the wishes of
the people, he should hand them back
his commission, as unsullied as when
he received it. This, shall do, with
the judgeship, and not use it for any
ignobley purpose, even against my
political enemies.
g For these reasons / have decided
to tender my resignation as district
Judge to the governor, to take effect

High School Notes.

Now that school has started and
the regular routine is being pursued
again, the boys are turning their
attention, Or at least good share OF
it, to football. It seems as if every
boy in school has an ambition in that
line. Mr.. Pugh, our coach, has not
made out the lineup ct, but has been
trying out the players in the different
positions to see where they belong.
Our outlook for the season is very
promising this year and we intend to
play more games than we did last
season.
Aubrey Orr, our manager, and one
of the last years stars, says that ne
has written for several games. But,
of course. the first game will be play
ed here with Alexandria. In athletics
they have only defeated US once, and
that was in the first football game
ever played here. But it was the
last time. Alexandria reports light
team this year, but going by the new
rules light team is as good as a
heavy one, if they are fast. But our
team is both heavy and fast, SO watch
us.
The students are entirely satisfied
with the present faculty, and when
that is the case, more than half the
battle is won, but we intend to make
a good year of it any way.
