women kept so tight. to this section
that we never got to read its front
page at all yesterday, but one men=
Der of the family said that there was
nothing in the article
So that afternoon the subscriber
stayed on the farm
Along came Governor Stubs and his
entire family in an automobile with
the exception of Roscoe. who is too
big TO find a seat in the large ma
chine along with the other Stubbses.

ernor 1t is better to be with the real
Governor. than to be with one who IS
a near governor or who expects to be
governor
Well, the real Governor Stubs and
took to the woods and neither of
us very often do that sort of thing, but
we had a good time, were close to
nature and discussed the joys of the
simple life.
The governor wants to rent Cedar
CREST for his family and it has been
suggested LtaI he give W hAAS
mansion on Windmill. near Lawrence,
for the same period to my family. No
a agreement yet on terms; negotiations
further. Politics We're tabooed in the
conversation. The governor had had
all the politics he wanted during the
week and so had the writer on his re-
cent trip to New York
The country visitors returned to the
city and 10 and behold there was IN
Morning Capital lying around upon the
floor with a black heading, which saia'
"Strictly Personal"
Now as to just what the Capital said
yesterday in its sweeping brosdside Of
one column under the heading OF
strictly Personal and which was APP
parentIy designed to sweep the State
Journals circulation in the city Of
Topeka entirely off the map let us see
the important,-if true, mind you, state
ments which the Capital gave its read
ers instead of what might have been.
in view of the State Journals eonsld-
GRAFTON for the Capital, and the heavy
laden workers, a heart-to-heart sun
day morning sermon, taking the text
from the Beatitudes: Blessed ara
they that mourn for they shall be COM
forted. Blessed are the meek for they
shall inherit the earth'' There is no
meexer man than the publisher of the
CAPITAL. and from the way that he is
going after every business in Topeka
having hand in nearly every indus
try or commercial pursuits that can be
named, he seems to he on the road to
inherit the EARTH
He is in the business of printing and
newspaper. several monthly periodicals.
several agricultural papers, published
in Kansas City and elsewhere; engrav-
ing in Topeka, Wichita and Kansas
city; in the banking business, in the
real estate business, in the queensware
business (glass sets and dishes), hard
ware 6meat choppers). furniture Crock
ing chairs, kitchen cabinets, carpet
sweepers), postal cards, books and sta
tionery dictionaries. maps, aliases, |
encyclopedias and fountain pens), !
jewelry (rings and watches), pictures.
harness and saddlery Cbusgy whips. |
etc.), etc, etc.
The Capital says, to quote, the rep
resentative of this paper has just come |
back from New York with heart |
full of sorrow and a mouth full =
Woe"
That's where he is wrong again. The
state Journal is net mourning, neither
is it asking for sympathy. 1t needs t
not. It's business is fine and its read |
ers need have no fear that there is !
any danger of the proprietor not be-
ing able tc pay his bills and hold up |
his end Of the newspaper business
s. -. ., .,,a "baart fuu Of sorrow
and mouth fun of woe" the RHYTHMIC |

can be easily proven that this IS merely /

PROPRIETOR of this paper. with the ex-
ception of the times VIXEN members !
of his family were with him, never
had SO good rine in New York, never |
had cause for Sc little sorrow. never
had so ar from a mouth full of woe
as he had upon his return to Topeka /
last week.
We were never so glad to get back
and we never had such a profitable stay
in New York. Joy was simply uncon- |
fined there.
In regard to this surcease of sorrow |
and windrow of woe, the state Journal |
can only quote. in response to the bril- /
liant writer on the Capital in the |
language of the Master. st. Matthew.
2srd chapter, 18th verse. who says:
Woe unto you. scribes. and Pharisees, /
