A GENEROUS CITIZEN

f. ]. Alexander was only an old
Negro huckster of Emporia but
the other day he died and, by his
will, left considerable landed prop
erty. And how do you suppose he
disposed of it in his will? Why, he
bequeathed it all to be used for the
needy children of Emporia. He was
just an old black huckster but at the
Judgment we'd take our chances with
him 1ongside of many a white gem

worthy of notice. His action shows
that he had a heart which would en-

times during the war and who claimed
he had walked about $4,000 miles
over this interesting earth. 1t appears
that a number of sympathetic indi-
viduals sepa1ted themselves from
United States dollars on the strength
of the statement they would receive
a book of travels written by Bell.
This Office never employed him and
never gave him any money. He
may be as honest as the day is long
and those who expect books may new
er receive them All the roads in
this world are not straight, however,
and some people have short memoir
les. The sums passed to Bell are not
worth worrying about and if book
comes so much the better. When
giving money to strangers there
should always be a shadow of a doubt
on the part of the party of the first
part. Bell said he was going into the
Hudson Bay country and he may be
there or may not, another uncer-

matter is on a dead center

BOB WHITES ENEMIES

There are four principal causes
for there being fewer quail than for
merly: The cat is one; then comes
those two bird killers, the cooper and
sharp-shinned hawks, to which must
be added the great horned owl,
which is destructive to small game,
as we'll as to poultry.
1t may be said with some authority
that these four take a heavier toll
Of quail than any others that may
be mentioned The taking of a quail
a day, in season and out, would be
but fair estimate for each. This
would mean 365 quail in one year
for each culprit, quite as many as the
average human hunter would kill in a
lifetime, -sportsman's Digest,

THE, MAN COOLIDGE

The esteemed Fort Scott Tribune
seems to think that personally it
makes little difference to President
Coolidge what becomes of the prohi-
bition law. infering that is largely a
matter of politics. Which again by
inference makes out our president
shallow and pettifogging.
The man Coolidge probably is the
least known president who ever en-
tered the White House. In the mem
DRY of living men. Johnson, Arthur
and Roosevelt, who came into the
presidency were fairly we'll known
before they accepted the vice presi-
dency But the personality of Cool
idge was concealed, and the conceal
ment somewhat was due to his tenn
permanent, before he entered the vice
presidency. Then good taste sup
plemented what temperament began
after Coolidge came into the vice
presidency.
Since he has been president he

By the Way

The story is told Of a young chap
who had d betting experience this
fall that is worth relating. Filled
himself with liquor and while intox-
icated he bet $100 that a certain
team would win an approaching game.
The next morning when he awoke he
realized that he might lose the $500
and to make matters sure decided to
would win. He felt then that he
would lose the one and win the other,
thus coming out even in the foolish
venture When the game was played
neither side won or lost so he was
the velvet amounting to 5000. This
may or may not be true but it was
told within the sound of our type
writer for the truth.

The average county official in Wis
consin does not see a bag of gold
at the end of his public career. In
fact the salary the most of them
receive is considered decidedly small,
when measured by positions of SINH
lar Importance. In Sank county the
register of deeds gathers about $500
a year but the others are far in the
offing. With some there is a feeling
that most of the places will be taken
by women on account of unattractive
salaries This is fine for the gentler
sex and relieves men of what was
once considered real plum as to
political jobs.

has seen-u 10 bin t-oL to
natural limelig1at which ordinarily
falls upon a man in the presidential
office. SO he still remains to the
mass of the people an unknown
quantity. Hence papers like the Fort
Scott Tribune assume that he is a
minus quantity. Nothing is further
from the truth.
President Coolidge is a strong man,
as the term is used in connection
with our president. He is not talk
,ative, but he is not a silent figure eth
err. He is a mentally alert, has much
more capacity for the logical process
res of thought than the average
American president more than Hard
ing had, much more than Mckinley
had. He is we'll informed, given to
reading books, and is possessed of an
exact knowledge about where to find
the expert sources of information
upon any particular subject. He
thinks his way to conclusions, where
most statesmen feel their way. He
has no desire, as President aHarding
had for frivolous playfellows, who
have no political influence with
him, and he is not what westerner
would call warm. Yet he is far from
austere, compared with President Will
son, President Coolidge is a house
lafre.
What he needs as president is
someone to dramatic him; to get
him across to the folks, so that he
can make them understand him, fol-
low him and fight for his ideals. For
they are good No man in the White
House ever desired more sincerely
to do the right, and few in SO years
have known so precisely what it is
knowing too much; for an excess of
knowledge makes a man move slowly
ito avoid any one mistake. His eau
tion is not timidity. 1t is expertly in
formed common sense.
How well he will succeed with the
presidency no one can tell. But his
mistakes will not come from ignor-
ance nor cowardice nor base motives.
President Coolidge may fail tc reach
the people. But he will on the whole
and in most matters, get at the truth
and follow it.-Emporia Gazette.
