HAPPY UNDER CRITICISM.
Hill White of Emporia, Kansas, can
now discharge his advertising ageni.
Senator Thomas C. Piatt of New York,
is going to sue him for libel, because of
political character in an article in Mc
Clure's Magazine. White first came in-
to national prominence five years ago
as the writer in his own newspaper of
the new famous editorial, "What's the
Matter With Kansas?" He was en
gaged a year ago to prepare for Mc-
Clure's a series of caustic black and
white pen sketches of the public men
of the day. The last one treated of
Mr. Piatt's public career and attract-
ed much attention. For forty years
Piatt has never murmured under the
pen lash.
Speaking of "criticism," the Chicago
Record says:
It is not every man in public office
who can stand continued criticism of
his political acts and remain silent. In
New York city, Richard Croker, the
"Boss of Tammany," is one of the few
of this class. But few political lead-
ers in modern times have been assail-
ed the way he has been, but through
it all for many years he has never
been heard to make complaint. Pos-
sibly the nearest approach to an}1
complaint from him was when his
two sons were recently forced to leave
college by reason of being shunned by
their classmates simply on the ground
of being the sons of the "Tammany
Boss." In this city there is one politi-
cal leader who has been made the tar-
get for nearly all the blame for the
losses of his party. Hardly a day
passes that does not bring some fur-
ther criticism of his leadership. Yet,
through it all, he has remained silent,
and at no time has shown that he felt
the stings of the unpleasant attacks.
When not attending to any political
matters, his thoughts never revert to
his accusers. He is a police magis-
trate, and frequently while being call-
ed upon to decide cases has shown
that he has a tender heart, and is ever
willing to offer assistance to his fel-
law-man who is in trouble. Evetn
while discussing politics with the
men of his party, he has not been
known to speak ill of those who con-
stantly attack him for his political
acts. "One in public life must expect
criticism," he said recently, ''and no
one should enter politics who will not
welcome criticism and plenty of it."
The man who made these remarks is
Charles P. Donnelly, former chairman
of the Democratic city committee.
SCHOOL LAND MONEY.
Can Not Be Apportioned Among tho
New Counties.
In compliance with the request of
Secretary Houston, of the school land
board. Attorney General Strang has
given an opinion to the effect that
moneys held by the treasurer of tho
territory arising from the rental of
school lands can not be apportioned
and paid to any county where ih>
number of school children has been
determined by estimate only. Tho
effect of this opinion will be to de-
prive the new counties of Comanche,
Caddo and Kiowa of any participation
in the apportionment of school land
rental monies until a school census
lias been regularly made.
In his opinion the attorney general
also passes upon the right of the board
to lease school lands for townslte pur-
poses and while ho ddplares he knows
of no law of the territory or act oi
congress that forbids the board froux
leasing a tract or tracts of school
lands for townslte purposes, still for
various reasons which are set forth in
the opinion' the attorney genral be-
lieves it would be establishing an un-
desirable and expensive policy.

ceived a telegram from L. M. Keys,
county attorney of Kiowa county,
stating that under the attorney gen-
eral's instructions deeds to lots in the

tomorrow, as was contemplated, but
would be held up until the charges
of gross frauds made against th>
townsite officials were investigate.
Saved His Life.
"I wish to say that 1 feel I owe my
life to Kodol Dyspepsia Cure." writes
H. C. Chrestenson of Hayfield, Minn.
"For three years I was troubled with
dyspepsia so that I could hold nothing
on my stomach. Many times I would
be unable to retain a morsel of food.
Finally 1 was confined to my bed.
Doctors said I could not live. I read
one of your advertisements on Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure and thought it fit my
case and commenced its use. I began
to improve from the first bottle. Now
I am cured and recommend it to all."
Digests your food. Cures all stom-
ach troubles.
