KANSAS BARD GETS BADLY MIXED OVER
BATTLE BETWEEN GOVERNOR AND EDITOR

LA JOLLA, Calf, July 26.-Walt
Mason. Kansos bard and former laur-
cate of the Emporia Gazette, is so OBJ
sessed with the friendship OF his former
employer, the editor, with Governor
Allen that when asked to comment on
their recent differences, he could not
even recall their proper names.
"Uncle Walt Thought for some time
over the matter, and then as an old
citizen of Emporia and friend of both
men, wrote the following explanation
of the controversy for the United
Press:
"William A. Allen and Henry j.
White are such intimate friends that
their front names frequently are trans
posed. Ever since their university
davs they have been known as the two
orphans, Damon and Pythias or David
and Jonathan.
at is impossible for one who knows
them to imagine any serious personal
differences that would call for rough
on rats or shotguns at 20 PAGES, yet
when either man has conviction he is
likely to ride it to death and would
cheerfully sacrifice all his aunts for
the cause.
"Now, it seems that these men who
went to France together and put an end
to the war because it had become a
chestnut, have inaugurated a one ring
war of their own, but knowing them as
| do, / am sure they set up the soft
drinks between rounds.

be right than be president, or editor
of Kansas or governor of the Emporia
