Conner Davies has been visiting En-
poria and the Gazette mentions the fact
as follows: Hon. Conner Davies, one
of the best known and ablest of Kan
sas newspaper men, spent few hours
in Emporia yesterday, accompanied by
his wooden leg. Conner has so much
horse sense that it is a pleasure to
contemplate him. At various times the
people of his section have tried to per-
suade him to run for office, and he
always told them to go to. Recently
there has been talk of sending him to
congress, but Conner won't listen to it.
He knows that he can DO more for
himself and the community as news
paper man than he ever could as an Of
hceholder and governs himself ac-
cordingly. His justly celebrated wooden
leg is in good shape. Several attempts
to paste auction sales bills on it have
been made by business rivals, but Mr..
Davies always frustrated their knavish
tricks"

Woodrow.
Dear Woodrow, you can have your Job,
You're welcome to it, too.
I'm glad I'm just common lob
An no celeb like you.
1 haven't got twelve thousand men
All begin jobs of me
They do not camp upon my porch
AND perch in every tree.
Nobody offers me advice
On problems small or great,
Nobody has to tell me how
To steer the ship Of state.
I do not have to walk the chalk,
And walk it every day,
And weigh each word of mine for fear
Or what the world might say.
A horde of energetic scribes
Don't camp upon my trail
And make me wish ten times a day
That was locked in Jail
I've got the edge on you, Woodrow,
I know you will agree
For if the nation would go bust
They'll all blame you, not me-

While the above is a candid analysis
of an unsatisfactory situation, there is
no reason for any undue pessimism or

reason to anticipate a fresh forward
movement after period of reasonable
rest and liquidation.
