The Art of Uncle Remus
TO Joel Chandler Harrisl


White House, Oct. u, 1901.
My Dear Harris:
1t is worth while being president
when ones small daughter receives
that kind of an autograph gift. When
l was younger than she is, my Aunt
Annie Bulloch of Georgia, used to tell
me some of the brer rabbit stories,
especially brer rabbit and the tar baby
But fond though l am of the brer rab-
bit stories l think | am even fonder Of
your other writings. | doubt if there
is more genuinely pathetic tale in all
our literature than Free joe" More
over l have felt that all that you write
serves to bring our people closer to-
gether. I know, of course, the ordin-
airy talk is that an artist should be
judged purely by his art; but l am
rather a Philistine and like to feel
that the art serves a good purpose
Your art is not only an art addition to
our sum of national achievement, bul
it has also always been an addition to
the forces that tell for decency, and
above all for the plotting out of sec
tional antagonism.
A Ride and a Pillow Fight
White House, Oct. 10, 1903.
Dear Kermit:
made captain of your eleven. l would
rather have you captain of the third
eleven than playing on the second
Yesterday afternoon Ethel on Wyo-
ming, mother on Yagenka and / On
Renown, had long ride, the only in
cident being meeting a large red auto
mobile, which much shook Renowns
nerve. although he behaved far bet
ter than he has hitherto been doing
about automobiles. In fact, he behaved
so well that l leaned over and gave
him lump of sugar when he had
passed the object of terror-the old
boy eagerly turning his head around to
get it. 1t was lovely out in the coun-
try, with the trees at their very best
of the fall coloring. There are no red
naples here, but the Virginia creepers
and some of the dogwoods give the
red, and the hickories, tulip trees and
beeches a brilliant yellow, sometimes
almost orange.
When we got home Mother went up
stairs first and was met by Archie and
Quentin, each loded with pillows and
whispering not to let me know that
they were in ambush; then as I
marched up to the top they assailed
me with shrieks and chuckles of de-
light and then the pillow fight ragged

then, when I think she really must
have holiday from it, l read them
myself.
Study and Play
White House, Oct. "a, 1908.
Dear Ted:
I am really greatly pleased at your
standing so high in your form, and
am sure that this year it is better for
you to be playing where you are in
football. I suppose next year you will
go back to your position of end, as
you would hardly be heavy enough for
playing back, or to play behind center,
against teams with big fellows. 1 re-
peat that your standing in the class
gave me real pleasure. / have SYM

The dust-cloud still escaped his clutch,
Yet still he followed, hot of haste,
For Youth has never time to waste.

Paused to look and paused to laugh,

UNIQUE PUBLICATION
Topeka Has Backlog That Has
Live Embers.

One of the most unique publications
in Topeka is gotten out monthly by
Frank i. Brooks. of Oakland. 1t rs
called 1.-The Backlog" 1t is printed on
and is folded to make it four-page
periodical. 1t carries little bits of
humor and about half of the space is
taken up with foreign. advertising
The editor is something of a poet, as
is shown by the following:
Mas for prohibition,
But Pa isn't-yet:
Brothers undecided,
But Baby's wet"
He. is also something of a para
grapher. He says:
1.-THE suit that is promised to wear
like iron generally begins to look rusty
the second time it's worm"
In his October number, Brooks de-
votes almost three columns to his wife.
He says. among other things:
My better half. is some taller than
I am. 1 picked out a tall girl for three
of his higher. Second, if I had loved
a shor girl I couldn't have loved tall
Third, I had always been short before
we married, and, having become used
to it, L did not like to make any
change.
I'VE did p lot of billing and cooling
before we were married, but have
lived to find out that the billing did
not come until later. The other day
while my wife was dressing I told her
it was injurious to her health to lace
so tightly, and with her mouth full of
hairpins, she mumbIed: of courset is
The other evening we were discuss
ing married life and the question came
up as to who gets married first among
girls, blends or brunettes. My wife is
blond but she said blends do-that
no girl who was not light headed
would ever get married.
My wife says I'm SO jealous I won't
allow the rain to patter on the back
L think we should have named our
last son Doxology. because he's the
last of the hims-up to date"

VIOLATE FLAG LAW
Schools Do Not Properly Display
Flags, Oscar Swayzc Says.


fragrant violation of a legislative
ena ctment< relative to the display of
American flags on all schooihouses is
charged by Oscar SwayZe, Topeka edi-
tor and publisher. in letters to Josiah
Jordan, county superintendent; to the
board of education, and to A. j. Stout,
principal of the Topeka high school
In his letter to the board of education
Swayze writes:
cit is a shame the Kansas legislature
found ii necessary to pass a law making
the display of the American flag obligatory
and Imposing a fine for failure to comply
with the law, especially in the face OF the
recent worlds war, when every American
citizen was forcibly reminded OF their duty
to their country and the meaning of that
grandest symbol of freedom and liberty.
Are we half baked patriots who can
only respond 10 the love OF country under
certain stresses?
Ky the display of the Stars and Stripes
let 1t be known that Topeka is not IN
the Bolshevik category, and if by any
chance there be children of such adherents
let them understand what the flag stands
for every day of their young lives that
they may tell 1t to their misguided parents
Now is the time to swing to the breeze
the American flag If ever there was q time
when it was likely to do good, and nobody
in their senses will deny that its display
has struck terror to hOrdes Of baby killers
in Europe.
IF can be of any assistance in making
this law felt where any disposition is
shown to ignore 1t. please command me-
hold n deputy sheriff's commission, and
will be pleased to serve you.
