E.S. GIBSON RESIGNS
Assistant City Engineer Finds n Bet
ter Paying Job.

E S. Gibson, who has been assistant
city engineer of Topeka for seven
years, has resigned his position to ac-
cept a better one with j. A Pringle,
contractor who is constructing the
East side sewer.
w. G. Tandy, city commissioner, is
in no hurry about accepting the resiS-
nation, for the double reason that he
needs Gibson right now and that while
the weather remains as it is no work
can be done on the sewer.
The position of assistant city engi-
neer pays S125 a month. In his new
position Mr.. Gibson will receive $3.50
a month. Mr.. Gibson was with the
Santa Fe in the engineering depart
ment for several years before he was
employed by the city. He knows To-
peka's paving and sewers like a book
Ask him the width of the paving on
almost any section of any street. ask
him the kind of paving and when it
was laid, ask him the depth of sew
ers at certain points and he reels it
off as readily as a school boy speak
ing his Friday afternoon piece"
For the present Commissioner Tan
dy will not fill Mr.. Gibson's place. In
stead, he will appoint an additional in
strument man in the engineering de-

JUDGE COZART OF COLUMBUS
FOR THE COURT OF APPEAL S

Columbus, Ga.-Judge A. w. Cozart
of this city, who is a candidate for
one Of the new judgeships on the
state court Of appeals, recently Gre
ated by act of the legislature, has been
engaged in the practice of law both
an the state and federal courts for
more than twenty years, and is recog-
hized by leading judges and lawyers
al over Georgia as one of the states
abiest lawyers.
Judge Cozarts candidacy has been
endorsed by every member Of the
large and able bar of his home city,
and by many local bar associations of
other towns and cities in Georgia.
Possessing the judicial tempera-
ment, he is brilliant without being
erratlc; keen, but not narrow; deep
without being obscure, and broad
minded without being shallow. He
knows and follows closely the law, but
at the same time he has passion
for substantial justice.
Thousands have laughed at his cpl
grams, which are as wise as they are
witty. From his occasional addresses
the following are quoted:
He who is not willing to perspire
need not aspire"
In a moral sense, to beat the devil
you must get ahead OF the devil and
run like the devil"
Il am glad that ! was raised in
the country. All boys and pigs ought
to be raised in the country"
