DAWSON TO STUBBS

Attorney General John S. Dawson,
recently sent the following letter to
Governor Stubbs in which the attor-
ney-general says that Jay E. House
has no important information of value
to a prosecuting officer and implying
that the governors actions were In
the nature of punishment OF politi-
cal opponent.
Dawson says this:
81 hasten to admit that / misquo-
ted you. You did not tell me to Sc
lect ''friendly'' justice, but caution
ed me against an ''unfriendly' one
But really and truly this misquotion
wasn't wilful: and / never noticed
the subtle distinction until you di-
rected Dave Leahy to point it out to
the newspapers Now, of course, 1t
is clear as mud.
Your impression is entirely correct
as to my attitude in this House case.
AS soon as 1 satisfied myself that he
had nothing to tell that would make
a case against a booze vender L di-
verted my attention to other things.
i would sooner put my foot in the
fire than use the discretionary power
of my office merely to punish polit-
ical opponent; and you well know
that until this ''little town in dry
territory episode came up House
had criticized me as freely as he had
you But since it has been decided
that l have no discretion about deal
ing with House, and am bound tc
obey you, will clap him in the bas-
tile if l can. without scruple.
Your declaration in favor of one
law for the great and small, rich ano
poor, white and black, is my doctrine
/ think you got that idea from me
when you and l were cumming to
gether.
/ notice you still have it in your
craw about that Cherokee deception
last summer. As to that, / guess
did give you little the worst tongue
lashing a Kansas governor ever got
But you must admit you deserved it
Think of the many times when yor
have practiced deception" on me
officially and otherwise, not only last
summer, but the summer before last
Why, governor, your uniform con
duct toward me has been a deception
Yes, and a disappointment.

HARD TO KEEP CATTLE WARN

ssAfter the cattle feeder has paid
his fuel bill this winter, there will be
little profit left," said a cattle man
the other day at the Kansas City
stock yards as he saw a drove of half
fed cattle on the way to the scales.
The cattle had sold for s6.25 a hun
represents the feed that animals eat
without any return in weight or in
other words, what is necessary to
keep the animal warm"
'sThat bunch of cattle going there,
shows that they gained in weight up
to the beginning of the severe cold,
and then the owner sold rather than
pay the fuel bill"
And sure enough the owner said
his cattle weighed forty pounds less
to the head than two weeks ago, part
of which was shipping shrinkage.
Another stockman figuring on the
expense of keeping stock in extreme
cold said that 35 cents day for
steers, Is cents day for hogs and 10
cents a day for sheep was not too
high even with shelter, and without
shelter it is too low. Sheep are the
only class of live stock that win gain
weight in extreme cold.
Some cattle were forced on the
market by the cold, but as soon as
they had been been rounded up few
times in the alleys of the stock yards,
placed in bedded sheds and filled up
they looked none the worse for cold.
Shelter is the only way to offset the
fuel expense.

HARVARD'S
TOPEKA LETTER
Topeka, January 25, -.

Topeka, January 25, -.
The political event of the week has
been the big dent installed into the
Wilson boom by two of the governors
most active supporters, namely, Col.
Harvey, editor of Harper's Weekly,
and Editor Henry Watterson, of the
Louisville Courier-J ournal, who were
instrumental in Mr.. Wilson's political
behalf. These two political leaders
have seen that to nominate the New
Jersey governor, a man of unknown
qualities would be big mistake. And
their opinion is being generally heard
all over the country. This leaves the
candidacy of Governor Judson Har-
mon of Ohio, stand out as the most
prominent. There is no denying
that Harmon's candidacy would be
the strongest of any of the candi-
dates of the Democracy. Clark has
no serious intentions of being a can
didate and it is well-known that at
the proper time he would swing his
support to the Ohio executive. Har-
mon would unite and hold all the
elements of the Democracy. One
element in his favor is that Bryan
has no use for him and as Bryan is
rapidly losing his hold and power in
his own party circles, state leaders
are trying TO edge their way into the
I Harmon camp. Kansas has, however
made no outward sign favoring the
Ohio governor, but get Into line and
forsake school-teacher candidates for
men of experience in state and
national affairs.
The Democratic central committee
have decided upon March IA as the
date of the state convention and
Hutchinson as the place. 1t was de-
cided that the representation by
large from each county and a dele
gate for each 250 population. This
would mean about 600 delegates to
the convention.
Judge J. G. Ruppenthal, writes to a
local paper that he is not candidate
for Congress in the Sixth district. He
Democrat, who made the race against
Young last time.
The most important political mat
ter discussed at the Democratic COM
mittee meeting here last Saturday
was the candidacy of James Orr of
Atchinson, for Governor. The plan
is to have Mayor Billiard of Topeka
withdraw in favor of Mr.. Orr, This
would mean Mr.. Orr's nomination for
sure and a grand fight at the polls
next November. Many conferences
were held during Saturday to consider
the Orr-Billard deal. They hope it
will go through and express the ut
most confidence in a state victory If
the plan is carried out.
Senator Joseph Bristow urges the
Kansas Republican state central com
mitteemen not to follow the example
of the Democratic state committee
in calling a convention to select dele
gates to the national convention. "If
majority of the Republicans want
Roosevelt, Taft or LaFollette, the
delegates to the convention ought to
support the man that majority OF
the Republican voters want. Every
Republican in Kansas has right to
express his preference for President,
and to have that preference counted.

SAW HIS. SHADOW
LATE SPRING RESULT T
FEBRUARY 2 is GROUND-HOG DAY
WEATHER BUREAU SHOULD
THROW AWAY CHARTS.

Perhaps one reason for the atten-
ton given to the traditional move
ments of the grounding on Feb.
lies in the intimate relation that has
always existed between him and the
farmers boy. As the large majority
of our people are country bred, the
greater part of the American people
have racollections of the part he
played in early life on the farm.
There H. a defiant self assertion
in the grounding that stirs the lust
OF pursuit in the heart of every live
country boy. Other animals of his
size seek more retired homes in the
forest. The woodchuck burrows with
in reach of your garden. At unguard-
ed moments and amid the simmer of
moonliet he salies forth, and adds to
his already superfluOus fat by gorg-
ing himself on your beans and corn
If cornered he will fight anything
and anybody. But daring as he is, it
is rare that Towser catches him un-
prepared. Usually his twinkling brown
heels reach the hole several feet
ahead of his pursuers. Then Brer-
Ground-hog turns about, protrudes his
head for second with a laughing
chIckle. then retreats to the recesses
OF his home, to enjoy the sleep of
the Just while boys and dogs make
futile efforts to drive or smoke him
out.
The trap is about the only way to
catch Brer Ground-hog But even Ii
caught, with indomitable resolution
he gnaws off his leg, and lives many
a day from the fat of your garden.
With so resourceful and indomit-
able a foe in his backyard, it il
not strange that irreconciable antag.
onism exists between him and the
farmers boy. Digging out wood
chuck hole is the normal celebration
of country holiday, like attending
the motion picture shows in the city
Well do We recall the emotional ex.
citement of an old village character
of our youth on one such occasion.
After hours of excavation he would
keep putting donhis earsw gacvin a;
keep putting down his ears TO the
hole, saying Il can almost hear him
dig, l can almost hear him dig"
A creature so wise, so resourceful.
and so bold must surely know the in
ner secrets OF nature. We advise
the weather bureau to drop their
charts and reports on February ..
and watch the groundhog,

GROWS HAIR ON BALD HEADS.
Bald.Headed People May Get New
Chance in Life

In these days when youth is the
moving factor in business, when a
man makes his mark at thirty-iive and
is ready TO retire at forty-five, when
business houses pension the man we
call middle aged" rather than allow
his tagging influence to intrude upon
the commercial rush, a bald head is
almost fatal to any mans hopes. The
following must therefore prove inter
estinG to people who are losing their
hair or who are bald.
Resorcin is one of the latest and
mast effective germ killers discovered
by science, and in connection with Be
Ia Napthol, which is both germicidal
and antiseptic, combination Is form
ed whichdestroys the germs which rob
the hair of its nutriment, and also
creates clean and healthy condition
of the scalp. which prevents the de-
velopment of new germs.
Pilocarpin is a wellknown agent for
restoring the hair to its natural color,
where the loss of color has been due
to a disease of the scalp. Yet, it is
not coloring matter or dye.
This combination of curatives mix
ed with alcohol as a stimulant per-
fects a most effective remedy for n ~
and scalp troubles
The famous ReXall "93" Hair Ton
ic is chiefly composed of Resorcm.
Beta Napthol and PiloCarpin. 1t helps
to make the scalp healthy. to nourish
the hair. to stimulate the follicles.
Where the head is already bare. it en-
ters the folliclcs, revitalizes the roots,
supplies nourjshmcnt. dhd stimul''es
a new growth.
