especially with an angel to meet the
pay roll.
The policy of the Red Ball will be
to give its readers two minutes of en-
tertainment. I invited number of
EDITORS TO assist in the job, and most
of them came through beautifully. but
all of them specified that their copy
should not be blue penciled. Editors
are very touchy about the blue pencil,
that IS, when it is in the hand of the
other fellow. Therefore, nothing pre-
pared for this issue has been blue pen
eiled, except suggestions about the
1911 advertising contracts. These
have been referred to Mr.. j. NJ. Con-
nell, general passenger agent.
Assuring readers that the Red Ball
has come to stay until the long felt
want has been filed, 1 have the honor
to be, yours truly JF j.

TIRED OF DoDGING.
Postmaster Comes in and
SurPenders.

Sydney, Jan. 31.-After having
eluded the police and postal authori-
ties for several weeks, William O'Neill,
the postmaster at Waterford. a small
town near here. has given himself up
to answer to the charge of stealing
from the mails a package containing
$500 in cash. The money belonged
to the Waterford branch of the Bank
of Nova Scotia. The Waterford agent
of the bank addressed the package to
the Sydney branch of the bank and
registered it at the Waterford post
office.
The package did not arrive at Sgd
ney and when an investigation was
begun it was found that O'Nei1l was
missing. few days later O'Neill gave
the package to a clergyman in Truro,
requesting that it be delivered to the
Truro branch of the bank. O'Neill
then disappeared again but returned to
Cape Breton yesterday and surrender
ed to the authorities.

bers volunteered to center their sup
port of Case for the presidency.
A big block of tickets went to the
Third district this year, although the
sale in that territory was not so heavy
az a year ago 1t was due largely to
the actions of the obstreperous mem
bers from the Third district that the
animals were released at the 1910
gathering. The early arrivals from
Cherokee, Montgomery Crawford
and Labette county this year, lug
ged the dove of peace and conceded
that they were willing to participate
in a love feast such as characterized
the ancient days when the party ma
jority in Kansas was but a fond recol-
lection and a matter of history
Lawrence, Usage City, Emporia and
towns as far west as Wichita and
Hutchinson have a respectful repre-
sentation in Topeka this afternoon.
Somewhere in the inside pocket of
each visitor is a ticket to the annual
party dinner. The Emporia delegation
expressed a greater desire to make
hay than to carve emblems on the
political records of their fellow enc
mics, even though they carried a few
scars of the recent battle.
Henry C. Sticher, president of the
Kansas State Editorial association
favors harmony session this year
He sees little in the 1910 organization
with which to point with pride and
even intimated that the insurgent wing
of the party might with due grace shed
point, in order to promote good feei-
ing. This fighting doesn't pay says
the Belleville editor, "and especially
when that fighting is done within our
own ranks. A repetition of the affairs
of 1910 and the party ticket next year
will be compelled to pay the bill. I do
not believe there will be any trouble in
the election of officers this year and
sincerely hope I am guessing right. We
have plenty of good men and should
get together"
Butler county sent good sized dele
cation to the banquet this year. Among
the party which arrived in Topeka
| were: Steve Brandon. former repre-
sentative; R. B. Ralston, probate
Judge; NJ. L. Arnold, county clerk; K.
M. Gaddes, county attorney; J. B. Ad-
ans, former representative; Alva Shell
don, editor of the Walnut Valley
| Times; and L. l.. Smucker, of the Re-
publican The delegation spent the
greater portion of its time In the state
house. They came here to boost for the
election of Adams for the presidency
of the club, but this morning abandon
| ed their campaign.
Probably 100 members of the editorial
association will remain in Topeka to-
| night to attend the annual feed and
| help celebrate the states fiftieth an
niversary. The Kansas pen pushers
have had a good time in Topeka this
year and this morning several large
delegations started in search of tickets
/ for the big dinner. A number of the
charter members of the club are Kan
sas newspaper men and they have been
| faithful to the organization.
