Herman Weller, President of Eagles,
Says Governor Is Wrong.

Herman Weller, of Galena, president
of the Eagles of Kansas, gave Governor
W. r. Stubbs a thrust in speaking be-
fore the members of his order assem-
bled in their annual convention. He
said: "Condemned-if 1 may use the
term-by the representative of the state
VIII holds that honor by the vote of
the people, 1 can in justice and truth
say, that despite his excellency's speech
at Chicago where he branded our order
as well as others as moral outcasts,
there are none who are more interested
in the advancement of the state than
these very men.
"Oftimes men when reaching the
the sake of seeming sabctity.; can but
say in the words of the poet. Con-
sistency thou art jewel. Honesty
in all things commands respect and re-
gard. Hypocrisy enro;ls many under
its standard, but a word to the wise, is
sufficient III. s -y
