the Sunfiower state. Mr.. Taft also
had something to say of the indepen-
dence of thought in Kansas.
THE trials through which the state
has come he declared, Undoubtedly
have given a character to its inhabi-
tants. They are bold and original In
thought, courageous in execution. One
may differ with them I'm their con-
illusions either upon politics or upon
other issues, but he must respect the
sincerity and the energy, independence
and courage with which they support
their conclusions and carry them to
their logical result"

His death was a great shock to
me-" said the president. IT had not
known him long; nor can / say that I
knew him intimately, but / knew him
well enough to know the strong quail
ties of his mind and heart, his judicial
instinct, his intense desire to be fair
and his clear perceptions of the law as
a jurist, and his observation-disclosures as 8
legislator.
Madison On Labor Law.
Il remember q speech which he
made In congress on the subject OF ex-
cepting lawless combinations of work
fngmen from the application Of IN APP
preparation. 1t was a noble, clear ex-
position of the necessity for making
all persons equal before the law and
an exhibition of courage ard indiffer-
ence to consequences in the support OF
a righteous judgment. His speech
marked him as n of the coming men
of congress-
The president rode several miles
under a boiling sun to the fair grounds.
He was escorted by a troop of the

full"

say anything more. Perhaps when I
ave consulted my attorney / may have
something to say, but not until then"

with the words.
There, go blow you head Off"

And puff and puff till JOY complete

And while the smoke wreaths lightly curl
