Fifty days have more than convinc-
ed the house of representatives that
no mistake was made in electing Judge
Buchanan speaker of the house. His
absolute fairness in everything is such
that a New York newspaper man
watched him for two hours and then
gave up the attempt to locate the affili-
ations of the speaker. Turning to a
local slave of the press he aksed: rs

or Democrat?s III be darned if 1 can

Neither can the house. replied the
local man. He is so cussed straight
that he almost leans backward"
Honored in his own county as a
jurist and citizen. Judge Buchanan was
finally sent to the legislature as a
Stubs adherent. Had he chosen any
other utilization at that time, there is
little doubt that the results would have

Hon Wilhelm FEEDER. old-timer from
Barton county, has made divers, threats
against this department. He announced
to the press table that he would drop
a haynaker on the Gallery Spectator
within "a hours after his sacred fea-
lures were depicted under the Gal
lery'' headline. If this column fails to
appear tomorrow. the public may send
in flowers and tomato cans on the
theory that Wilhelm has made good
his threat. He is a remarka bly, good
Indian. but there is no telling what
he will do on a pinch.

spiff1icate Spaniard we rush to the
front, regardless of consequences. This

mans fad is classical literature, and a
special niche is reserved for Fitzger-
aids version of Omar Khayyam' phil
osophy. The philosophy of peace was
Omar's and Judge Buckman's. The
judge is not a booze-fghter. but he
holds, with other savants, that Omar's
talk of booze referred to mental and
spiritual, rather than material refresh
ments. and that the tentmaker used
spirits fermanti as a figure of speech
rather than as throat wash.
During the latter part of last week,
the question of adjournment was rails
ed in the house. The members were
anxious to shorten the time, and the
Democrats were particularly anxious.
The speaker mildly announced that
his will was the will of the house. but
that he hoped it would not adjourn
until important legislation had been
passed. 1t was then that a hitherto
silent Democrat popped up and barked
like a prairie dog:
Il want to go home, but the speaker
has been so fair and impartial during
this session, that I am in favor OF
staying just as long as he wants us
to-
THAT is a compliment which few
speakers of the Kansas house have re-
ceived since there was a Kansas house

introduced his headlight bill, and con-
sidered his duty done for the day. The
striking likeness of this sketch is a
source of pride to this department,
which is not strong on likeness.
It is useless to say anything about
Mr.. FEEDERS tenure of office, or his
ability as a legislator. Only a few of
the Democrats on the job are better
