Ralph Faxon's tribute Of apprecia-
ton to a genuine equestrian acrobat:
"Kansas members of Congress seem
To be having more or less OF time
in explaining their votes on veto mes
sages and things-all except Judge
Madison. Madison's attitude seems to
be Never admit, never deny, never
explain. And he goes serenely on
riding two horses going in opposite
directions. When It comes to holding
his own-snd his district--our own
Judge Madison is a wonder"

MORGAN ON THE RHINE.

Travel letter of w. Y. Morgan In
Hutchinson News: Next to riding on
a Dutch canal comes a trip on the
Rhine. The passenger steamers ana
motor boats go up and down this
mart of the Rhine like street cars
Every boat is comfortably equipped
with refreshment parlors and res
taurants and the walters keep try
ing to please the thirsty traveller by
offering him wine and beer. 1t Is
hard on a Kansan. What these
Germans need is governor and an
attorney general and a row over
the Joint question. Poor Germans
they do not know it, and they keep
right on drinking beer and growing
fat and looking happy. Aside from
this unfortunate habit which does
not see INTO hurt them like 1t ought
to. the Germans are fine lot OIL
folks. They are immensely proud
of their country, which is a trifle
hard on us modern Americans They
really believe Germany can lick the
world and they have a notion that
there is no nation so progressive as
theirs. In some respects they are
right and in many phases of busi-
ness and scientific advancement the
Germans lead the world.
