TRIBUTE TO BIDDLE
william Allen White Writes OF His
Work in Emporia.

William Allen White, in his En-
poria Gazette, pays tribute to the late
DR.. T. c. Biddle, who died suddenly
in Topeka Saturday morning. Doctor
Biddle formerly lived in Bill Whites
town, and in the more than twenty
years ago in Emporia Doctor Biddle
was one of the men who did things
and was a close friend of Ike Lambert,
Bill Martindale, Charley Cross. Major
Calvin Hood, Charley Fletcher and
other notable characters in a very
notable town.
Dropping a tear at the passing of
Doctor Biddle. White wrote a Good
bye, Tom" editorial for his Emporia
Gazette. He said:
Twenty years ago the best fellow
in town was DR.. Tom Biddle. In the
old crowd that pervaded the town in
those days when Ike Lambert and
Charley Cross and Bill Martindale and
Major Hood and Charley Fletcher and
Billy Ewing were helping those who
now remain behind run the politics
of the town, young Tom Biddle, in his
late thirties. was the prince charming.
He had more friends than Charley
Cross and as much political capacity
as Ike Lambert. Then he went to To-
peka, appointed under the Stanley ad-
ministration. to what his splendid
equipment has made a life job. The
places in politics that knew him, knew
him no more, and now they will know
him no more forever. 1t is not to the
erudite doctor that we bid farewell
nor to the kind husband, nor the pub
lic-spirited citizen. But just to the
passing of a fine, hearty, loyal man
that we tip our hat as the angels lift
the portcullis while Tom Biddle enters
