Telephone 18 (Prirate Branch Eachange Cennecting All Departments.) Wilders Annals," we all call It, and wish 'he could have lived and kept the work up to date Indefinitely. Prentis was not a college man, but he had the soul of a poet and the heart of a woman and the modesty and naivete of a child. And so he just naturally sensed he rythm of words and the balance of sentences and his writing, when was read aloud, sounded like music. He Was the humorist of that firs half dozen. Anthony probably never told a joke or storjln his life, or laughed at one.

Hudson had a Jovian laughter for the jokes and stories that went around among a group of old cronies, but he was generally too deadly serious in his Journalism to let any humor leak into his writing. Miller never let his lighter, vein go farther than a dubious double entendre. Murdock laughed only to give wings to his Javelin as he launched It In the general direction of an opponents fifth rib. seldom went farther in the direction of either wit or humor than a smile But with Prentis humor was an ever flowing fountain, bubbling up irrepressibly, and consCantly overflowing into his talk and his writing. He had ari endless fund stories and jokes and funny anecdotes and as he.

related them his sides would shake with laughter and tears of pure joy would overflow his eyes. To hear and see Noble Prentis tell a funny story was funnier than any story! 25 YEARS AGO 4 Items From The Register of -0 April 20, 1906 4 A Marr, the bekeryman.

HONORING KANSAS EDITORS. The Kansas chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, a national college Journalism fraternity, some time ago conceived the happy Idea of creating a Hall of Fame few Kansas editors. Of course no one is eligible until he is dead. And so the chapter sent a letter to 'all Kansas editors asking them to nominate such early day Kansas editors as they thought should be specially honored. Some fifty names were placed In nomination, and from these six were selected by reference to the Quarter Century Club" who have been in business more than 25 years.

The six chosen for first honors in this Kansas Hall of Fame were the following: Col. D. R. Leavenworth. Major Hudson, Topeka.

Sol Miller, Troy. Col. M. M. Murdock.

Wichita. Noble L. Prentis, Topeka, mid later an' editorial writer for the Kansas City Star. D. W.

Wilder, Topeka. The form of recognition to be given these editors has not been fully determined, but it is probable that oil "paintings of each wlH be given places of prominence in the department of journalism at the University. To these original six It is proposed to add two more each year through the same process of selection. The editor of the Iola Register knew personally all these men, having come onto the newspaper stage In Kansas while all of them were yet active and having exchanged papers with most of them for a good many years, visited most of them in 'their home towns and attended innumerable public gatherings where they were present. And he had a high regard for all of them.

Out of the six, as he secs them now, through the perspective of the years, four of them were essentially fighters, D. R. Anthony, J. K. Hudson, M.

M. Murdock and Sol Miller. They were men of the most positive opinions, they were wholly fearless personally and Intellectually, they lived in the atmosphere of the frontier which was essentially free and bold and unconventional. Ahd so they never sought for the soft phrase or the cushioned word. When they hit they wanted tp hurt, and so they hit hard and direct and with the deadliest weapon they could lay to hand.

Neither of them was a polished writer, and any one of them would have been ashamed and-resentful to be. thus designated, as if he had been accused of wearing spats or something. They published newspapers because they wanted to tell the world what they thought about men and measures, and so they wrote to be understood not to have their sentences admired. And they were understood all right! There never, was any doubt about Noble Prentis and D. W.

Wilder were different. They had their opinions and there never was any one to impeach their courage. But with them grim visaged war now and then did smooth his wrinkled front. Wilder was a college man, mild of manner, soft of speech, scholarly of aspect, fond of history and poetry. A man who would have written If he had been born to leisure and a settled community.

A man who' did write history because as he saw It unrolling before his eyes in this new State of Kansas, he was fascinated by it and could not but jot it down. the great depression Life is but a long vacation to the child who likes thear work, school is great to the child who does not shirk She is the babe of the Famley we sure have had a lonely life this winter but we realize fully hat Riley and Dr Smith said a dog nearly human. 1 Rev.

Kansas City His prediction having come Simon Fishman a Kansas wheat king, is on a months tour at the expense of L. M.

Baldwin, president of the Missouri pacific. Once a pack peddler, Fishman went 'to Tribune, -Greeley county, 11 years ago. Little or no wheat was raised there. He told Baldwin time would come when 1,000,000 bushels would be shipped out of the county. The time has come and Baldwins private car Is at Fishman's disposal.

Los Angeles-Mrs. Hattie E. Shuler, S3, must pay $65 a month alimony to Chester E. Schuler, 54, her former husband, and in addition provide him rent free quarters in one of her apartment houses. AND And so Anthony and Hudson and Miller and Murdock and Prentis and Wilder have faded out of the Kansas picture and have become such stuff as history is made of! Only a little while ago they were so real, so vital a part of the important things that happened in Kansas.

Now to become pictures on a wall and by and by to be forgotten, their names and faces to mean nothing at all. There are still, though, some men old enough to remember them, to have walked and talked with them; and who find in their remembrance of them some compensation for having been born a long time ago! A story has been going around the Kansas press to the effect that the late legislature made financial provision to have the work of extending and bringing down to date Wilders Annals of Kansas," and that Mrs. Esther Clark HiU is to do the work. Unfortunately that is hot true. The work upon which Mrs.

Hill will enter when an appropriation becomes available July 1, will be the briefing and indexing of the vast accumulation of manuscripts now in the vaults of the State Historical Society. These manuscripts consist of letters chief ly. together with some other documents, very valuable source material for the future historian, but wholly Impossible now. Mrs. Hill expects to be employed at least two years in putting this material In shape, and nobody could do such work more Intelligently and painstakingly, Certainly It Is most desirable that Wilders Annals should be brought down to date, and the next legislature ought to provide for It.

Three Florida men who left Bimini, in the Bahamas, in a motor boat bound for home in Florida, had a rough time of it. Their shaft broke and they wallowed helpless In the open sea. For many days they drifted, blown by the wind. They were picked up eventually by a ship 400 miles from their starting point, and landed at Bayonne, N. J.

And all they had In the way of food when they started upon this Journey was a can of com and six onions! Noting the onions, Ham Berger, of the El Dorado Times, doubtless would say they got what was coming to them. But can you beat it? No water, no fishing tackle, and onions and com for food! It Is a wonder this foolish human race has lasted as long as it has. Six rich farmers near Efrimof, Russia, were ordered shot few days ago, and ten others, including one woman, were sent to prison for one to three years, for counterrevolutionary activities, by which phrase is meant no more than that they protested against the government taking over their property without compensation. That is what is being done hi Russia these days In the name of government by the people. A whaling vessel came Into New York harbor the other day after an 8-months voyage of 25,000 miles during which time its crew had killed 1444 whales the biggest catch any ship in the world ever report ed in a single year.

The value of the total catch is not reported, but It may be guessed by the statement that a single member of the ersw a harpooner who killed 254 whales will pull down $40,000 as his shate of the profits of the voyage. If you have occasion to write to the man who was Alfonso Kill, King of Spain, you should address him now as Duke of Toledo. v- From Other Papers TIIE PARTY A NECESSITY (Editorial Opinion of the Minneapolis Journal.) There is a revolt against the old parties, in which Minnesota has taken the lead, but it is significant that the revolt, starting with the name Nonpartisan, has crystallized into a party which clings to the old style convention as the vehicle for forming its platform and naming its candidates. In its warfare against old party machines, the Farmer-Labor party has found it necessary to build a machine of its own. Abraham Lincoln was one of the founders of a new party in his day.

He, too, saw the necessity of effective party organization. He was a practical politician and no visionary. As President Hoover said in his Lincolns birthday address: He a believer in party government. He realized, as we must also realize, that fundamentally our whole self-government is conceived and bom of majority rule, and to enable the majority to express itself we must have party organization. Lincoln led in founding the Republican party and he gloried in his party.

As evidence of this. Congressman Yates of Illinois on that same evening quoted from a letter written to his father by Mr. Lincoln before he became president. It was an urgent appeal to perfect their party organization in his section of the state. Representative government, making the will of the majority effective, is the comer stone of the American political system.

Partisanship is easily overdone, but intense partisanship is far better than lackadaisical independence in furthering the cause of good govern ment. Voting for the man" has an at tractive sound, but its only fault is to exalt some individual. Europe today has its reactions against political parties. In some countries parties multiplied until majority rule was made impossible or ineffective. In reaction against their multiple parties, they exalted the individual.

The man, inflated, became the dictator. That is voting for the man car ried to its logical finish but it is not the American way. Smyrna There is such a thing as shooting at the moon. And it is so dangerous that there is a law for aidding it. Twenty shooters have been arrested.

Somebody was hurt when acting on superstition that eclipses are due to a wolf trying to eat the moon. Lots of folks got out guns and tried to kill the wolf. It is wise to be prepared for an emergency a cut finger, a scratched arm, a splinter, or any of a score of accidents requiring immediate attention.
