North Topeka Miller Buys West Side Property. Six Acres- on the "West Sixth Avenue Road. A HANDSOME HOME. Colonial House Which Will Cost About $25,000. Will Be One of Most Beautiful Places in City. Thomas Page, president of the Page Milling company, has purchased six acres of the oje Wilson and MacDon ald tracts at tho west end of West Sixth avenue. This is at the high point of Topeka and commands an excellent view of the city. Mr. Pase will erect on the land a mansion to cost about $25,000. It will be of buff brick, with a slate roof. It will be two storied and comprise 15 rooms, including a large conservatory. The residence will be entirely mod ern. The Pages say they expect to occupy it by December. Plans are now being drawn for tho house. The architecture of the dwelling will be somewhat after the old colonial style, with a wide veranda extending on the front and west side and termi nating at the conservatory. The house, without the veranda, will be 52 feet by 43 feet. One of the features of the interior will be the reception hall at the en trance, which will extend to the ceil ing of the second story, forming an interior balcony on the second floor. From the reception room to the kitchen will extend a wide hall. At the left side of the hall as you enter will be a parlor, divided by fold ing doors from another 'room or rear parlor. The latter apartment will open on the conservatory. On the right of the hall, the first room you enter will be the sitting room. This adjoins an ample dining room. In the rooms mentioned will be fireplaces five in all. The rear of the first floor will be occupied with a kitchen. The upstairs will be divided into guest rooms and sleeping chambers and servants' apartments. These plans were formulated by Mrs. Page and her son, David, and when their ideas for the dwelling have been carried out their home will be one of the best and most comfortable in To peka. F. C. Squires is making the architectural drawings. The intention ts that the house shall front the east, thus giving a good view of the city from the veranda, or from the east upstairs rooms. The grounds will likely be provided with stables and a garage. The yard will be ornamented with shrubbery, flower cardens and will be made into one of the most beautiful places in Topeka. The Pase home will be just across Sixth avenue from the Geo. H. Whit comb residence and near the house of Chief Justice Johnston. CHARGES PREJUDICE.

All Must Stand for Election This Fall. LEBANON MAN WHITES G. C. Mays Says Insurgents Are Against Taft. B. J. Hopkins Claims Stubbs Is Strong in East. All district Judges appointed by the governor must stand for re-election next fall, according to an opinion given by Attorney General Jackson. At first the attorney eeneral was inclined to believe that they held over. He gave Judge True of the second division of the Wyandotte court an opinion of that kind some time ago, but after looking more carefully into the law, believes that the judges must be elected at the first general election fol lowing their appointment. The four district Judges affected by this opinion are: Judge L. C. True of Wyandotte county; Judge Dill, Leaven worth; Judge Mason, Saline; Judge Rankin, Miami. Seth Wells of Erie, former state auditor, says there will be a third can didate for state auditor file nomination papers before the books close. Mr. Wells refers to C. E. Holstein of Bour bon county, who is having his nomina tion papers circulated In Neosho coun ty Will Davis, assistant auditor, and D. E. Cauble of Fredonia are the other candidates. Congressman William Reeder filed his nomination petitions with the sec retary of state June 13. The congress man is evidently not afraid of .the thirteen hoodoo. G. C.

We should not sacrifice the calf simply because we have a Republican rascal in congress. "We have lots of them wanting a seat who if they were there would no doubt upset the capitol at one mighty stroke and blow out every kerosene lamp in the United States; and derail every railroad train on the continent at one snort of his powerful progres sive and expansive nostril." R. J. Hopkins, the Stubbs candidate for lieutenant governor, who is making the trip through the eastern counties with Governor Stubbs, has given out an interview. -I bad thought,' said Mr. Hopkins. "that in such counties as Atchison and Leavenworth where Leland received such a heavy vote two years ago that the governor would get a cool reception to say the least. But it was not so. The people turned out in large num bers and gave the governor a great ovation. The governor is claiming these counties now and I firmly believe that he will carry them. I talked with many people in many eastern towns last week and found every one but the politicians lined up for Stubbs. "In the past a few politicians con trolled the vote in tlheir communities to a large extent. Now the people are doing their- own' thinking and voting. This being so I cannot see for the life of me where Wagstaff has a chance to win. The fe'lows who stand for the old times and old ways of handling the state business for personal gain are all for Wagstaff. They cannot see the light that blinds. "The people are for Stubbs because he is fearless and because they believe in their hearts that he is sincere and cannot be dictated to by a lot of poli ticians. It takes nerve for a governor to turn down the politicians In the in terest of square dealing, and that is Just what Stubbs has done. Hence the bitter enmity and energy of these same politicians during this campaign. "The people are awake to the fact that the lieutenant governor ought to be in sympathy with the policy of the governor and I have been assured by those where we have had meetings that I will get practically toe same support as Governor Stubbs." BISCUITS TURN PINK. When Test Is Made in the Bleached Flour case."-: Kansas City, Mo., June 14. Miss Hanna L. Wessling, of the government food laboratory, Chicago, was the first witness called to dav in the bleached flour case being tried in the United States court here. She brought into court biscuits of her own .baking. With these she demonstrated effects obtain ed from both unbleached and bleached flour after the application of a diluted solution of the Greiss "re-agent." Miss Wessling was a teacher of chemistry in a Cincinnati medical col lege, before she entered the govern ment service. Practical tests for .the presence of nitrous acid In bleached and unbleach ed flour were made in the sight of the Jury. The chemical known as "Griess re agent" was applied to the two kinds of flour by Prof. George Hulett, a member of the chemistry department at Princeton university. He explained that if a pink reaction was given that was a sign of the presence of the acid. Such a reaction resulted, when the chemical was applied to the bleached flour. Unbleached flour did not change its color when the chemical came in contact with it. "Might not the yeast used in making light bread destroy the nitrites?" At torney Smith asked Prof. Hulett on crossexamlnation. "I suppose such a thing would be possible," replied the witness. The professor alsos admitted that nitrous aclcl existed the air. Walter S. Haines of Chicago, who played a prominent part. in the Hyde murder trial, has arrived. He will be a witness for the defense. FLOOD CLAIMS 200.

Dean Erhart, who was arrested at Easton, near here, last night in connection with the murder of Mrs. Katherine Scliultz. the wealthy widow, whose body was found in her home here last week, was taken before the county attorney here today and subjected to an exami nation.

TEE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOT7RNAE TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 14, 1910. 0AILR0AD NEWS. "Roads .Are Holding the Bag," Says President Ripley, Head of Santa Fe Pessimistic Orer the Outlook. CUT DOWN EXPENSES. Says .All Roads Mnst Do This at Once. Other Items of General Interest in Railroad .World. New York, June 14. That the legls la t.u res of most of the states are about to follow the example of the national legislature and pass all sorts of laws to harass the railroads was an opinion expressed by President Ripley of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Ke Ralroad company this morning on his return from Washington. Mr. Ripley was very pessimistic over the outlook for the railroads in their campaign to secure freight rates c o nhmens-u rate with the increased expenses of the roads which have come with, the higher ost of all materials, of fuel and of labor. Speaking of the recent conference at Washington between the railroad pres idents end President Taft. in which he was one of the negotiators, Mr. Flo. ley said: "It was not a victory for the railroads. They are holding the bag Just as they always did.' "What do you think will be the out come of the present situation? he was asked. "Quien sabe?" tie answered, with a shrug. "But let me tell you thai no Increase that the railroads can powrt foly get in their rates, under govern mental restriction, will begin to meet the increase in their expenses." "Do you see any relief ahead from this condition?" Mr. Ripley shrugged again. "There are legislatures in 46 states,' he said, "that are going to follow the lead of the admrinistration and incor porate in their laws all the restrictive features of the railway bill. And there nre an eaual number of railway com rr.issiorw who seem to regard it as their mission in life to reduce railroad rates. He was asked if he saw ar.y evidence of the beginning of such a wave 01 an tagonism toward the railroads as ex isted in the west in President Roose velt's second term. "I saw some disposition in the west ern states last year." he said, "and now I think they are ready to begin again, wince the national government has ta ken the initiative." "Who is back of it all, in your opin ion?" "Well, you know there is always a class of politicians who depend upon corporations, and particularly railroad corporations for their capital. And then there is a feeling in every backwoods hamlet antagonistic to capital, and as the railroad is almost the only repre sentative of large capital they see, their antagonism is focussed on it. They don't understand the working -of its business. And a great many things that ar-3 necessary in its workings; they don't see the reason for." "What effect will this controversy over rates have on the financial credit of the railroads?" "That is something of which I am in no position to speak." "Is it likely that, any railroads will find it prudent to reduce their divi dends?" "That also I cannot discuss." "Do you think the railroads will re duce their working forces?" "Everybody will have to do that." "Is it possible that somo of the rail roads will resort to Short-term notes for their financing, instead of trying to float stocks or bonds?" "I can't say; not by us." Mr. Ripley was asked, in conclusion, what he thought the present status of the Sherman act was. It was the Sher man act in which the attorney general sought his reasons for enjoining the freight rate increases of 25 railroads in the west. In answer to the question he said: "Tou know as well as I do. Every body knows now." He declined to be more explicit.

Unable to Locate Plate at Critl cal Times. 1 Old Reliables Make Errors Like School Boys. In a one sided game, filled with er rors and heartbreaking wildness on the part of Wright, Topeka lost to tho Teddy bear crew by a 10 to 2 score. Wright pitched tight ball despite his wildness until errors took the heart out of him! As it was the Grizzlies got only 7 safe ones. Flv errors did the most of the damage. And the errors came from ordinarily, dependable play ers. Umpire Haskell was customarily bad. Is the sunset golden? Well, just so Is Haskell an unfair umpire. Saturday he robbed the locals and Monday he helped beat them. But the loss of the game can not be charged to him. There is uttle use to get Into detail. Why teli of the heartaches of the few loyal fans who gathered? Is it not enough to say that the game was lost and forget UV In the fourth Denver made one. A walk, a fielder's choice and two hits did it. In the sixth a base on balls and two errors did the same, although Landreth himself pulled off a double in an effort to stop the run getting of the bears. In the seventh it rained runs, four dents being made in the gloom pot. Two valks, two hits, overthrows by Kerns and Wooley doing the rest. In the ninth another quartette of runs was allowed to slide in as the result of a walk, a fielder's choice, another hit and a sacrifice fly. Our lonely two came in the fourth after Landreth inserted a three base hit into the game. Dolan's error as sisted us and Kerns' hit scored fcoth Boles and big Cyrus. We threatened many times afterward but couldn't run our bluff. The box score: TOPEKA. Plavers AB. R. H. PO. A. E.

TOPEKA RENDERING CO. IN SIXTH DISTRICT Lincoln County Haa Fine Pros pect for Wheat.' One Man Claims 35 Bushels Per Acre. LEBANON IS ALIVE. Ships $90,000 Worth of Stock During May. Norton County Wheat Is Loot ing Well. Ldncoln county is going to raise more wheat than expected a few weeks ago. Fred Tienrann has 80' acres, which he believej will yield from 30 to 35 bush els an acre.. The Lincoln Republican, y'hdch has been interviewing the farm ers,, predicts the county will raise a bet ter and larger crop than in 1909. It is now generally conceded that the hun dreds of acres plowed up early in the earing would have turned out 12 and 20 tushels an acre. The Oberlin Times is going to do its share to make 'that town better if such a thing is necessairy. It invites short articles from all who care to write them on subjects pertaining to the better ment of Oberlin., That paper goe3 on to fay: 'If you have a laudable idea, of senme improvement which ought to be made, if you know of anything which will aid in beautifying, bettering, or in any way making Oberlin a better place to live, morally, or otherwise, tec us know. We will be glad to print it." Lebanon, a Smith county town, claims to have shipped out in the month of May 70 carloads of stock worth about $90,000. That town of Lebanon must be doine something all the time. They are going to build an alfalfa mill at ence, the funds for the same having already been subscribed. Besides the dates have been set for August 18, 19 and 20 for their annual celebration and baseball tournament, and if they can get an airship to help draw the crowd ai.d eniertain them they will. The. friends of Otis I.. Benton, of De catur county, had been urging him for some time to make the race for the leg islature in Decatur county. He turns them down as follows: "I have never entertained an ambition for this posi tion and while I desire to thank my friends for their efforts and offers of support, and also thank all tnose wino have signed the petitions, I must posi tively decline the honor." Politicians are umgraieiui to ma er!in newsnaiiers. The Times,- wmcn lias a big circulation in Decatur county. carries the political announcements iw a candidate for congress and two for district judge. The three aspirants tor oirice live in other counties. The fourth one to announce is for county superin tendent. Yet there are several canal- dates for each of the offices. The poli ticians are more generous in all the other counties except Decatur, and the ocai newspapers are printing announce ments by the doaens. Judge Uick ck le r, of the Seventeenth districtf is one candidate who hasn't got any one against him, yet he announces mmseu in all the papers of his district. And by the way Judge Pickler is an old newspaper boy himself. The wheat crop in Norton county is assured, says the Almena Plaindealer. The next best thing in sight, that paper states, is to have a glorious oldtirae celebration. One of the best "blow outs" the town ever had was her al falfa carnival several years ago. It was a big success. The Almena alfal fa carnival was on the same order as the Atchison corn carnival and the Clyde watermelon carnival. Rooks county has the most flattering prospects for a big crop of wheat in her history. A writer in the Stockton Record predicts that it will take from 600 to 1,000 extra men and 100 to ZOO teams to harvest it. ,mo If the -assessors are correct Sherman county has a population ff 4.474, a loss of 37 in the returns of 1909. Good land returned a population of 2,008, showing a loss of 66 the last year. The Kensington Mirror claims that Smith county will give the big wheat producing counties of the state a hard tussle to retain first place in the yield of the product this year. That paper savs the crop in tha tsection- of the county will yield from 20 to 40 bush els an acre, unless damaged by hair. It is the heaviest and best crop at this time that has been seen in the county for some years. Work is progressing- on the new $20 000 ice plant in Goodland. The new north and south railroad, which work' is expected to commence this onmrner. toeether with the Rock Is- -0-v.ifh leaves about $35,000 a month In the town, and her big .July 4 celebration which will have a flying machine of their own on exhibition, are great drawing cards for Goodland. Judge J. C. Ruppenthal of the Twenty-thrld district, is a fine political announcement writer whether he suc ceeds in his race or not for a second term. The following is his announce ment in the papers of his Judicial dis- trixi- "Th old time claim that a public office is a private snap' has al ways been odious to me and as a pub lic official I have tried to show by thought, word and acts that industry, ohiiitv and intearrity are cardinal vir tues for a public servant. In seeking the Democratic nomination for judge of the Twenty-third district at the pri-toi-Im find re-election in November. I nniv that all candidates be meas- j hv these and similar standards and that the voters choose whom they believe best." Tk onirlew Graphic claims that Mrs. W. C. Sampson of Logan county is the champion chicken raiser in northwest--r, Tfansas. So far this year she has niud i noo chickens, and says she ahs another 1,000 about to be hatohed She also brought to town an even 200 which she sold in Oakley. Arch I. Taylor of Thomas county tninks there are more Democrats in his. -iudicial district than there are Re publicans, and he will try for judge. The district comprises the counties of Graham. Rooks, Sheridan, Thomas and Sherman. All that is necessary to make one rich enough to be independent in western Kansas is to have grit and push and then stick to it. Bruce Slaven located in Sheridan county about 20 years ago with about J800 He now owns about 1.600 acres of fine land and nearly J 00 head of horses and mules. He has 200 acres of alfa fa and 800 acres of wheat, barley and corn, and would not take $75,000 for his interests'tnere. The. Intercounty Fair association of Oakley is pushing the enterprise. This will be the first fair, and the officers have fixed August 31 and September 1 and 2 the dates. Oakley is so situated that it was deemed best to locate it there. The counties are Logan and Gove and Thomas, and they ara taking THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOTTRNAIP-TUESDAY an active interest in this their first annual fair. The grounds are con veniently located adjacent to the town. Active preparations will begin at once getting tha grounds ready and erecting the necessary buildings and race track. DIED BEFORE MAN SHE IXVED. Kipp Girl Takes Strychnine Because Her Love Was Not Returned. Salina, Kan., June 14. Anna Peter son, 26 years old, who kept house for her brother, Carl Peterson, committed suicide Sunday night by drinking a quantity of strychnine diluted with water in a 2-ounce bottle. Carl Peter son lives on a farm one-half mile east and 2 Vt miles south of Kipp. Miss Peterson committed suicide because her affections, bestowed on William Troulson, a young farmer who lives alone two miles west of the Peterson home, were not returned. Miss Peterson about 8:30 "o'clock Sunday evening left her home in a buggy and about 9 o'clock arrived at the home- of William Troulson. -.She called Mr. Troulson out of the house. got out of the buggy, handed him a jewel box which he had given her last Christmas, then stepped back about ten feet and drew the bottle from a pocket in her dress and drank its con tensts. "Now, Will," she said; "get in the buggy and take me home. I'll be dead in a little while." Mr. Troulson helped her in the buerev and drove the two miles at a rapid pace. Miss Peterson refused to talk and when they were within half a mile of the Peterson home she went into con vulsions and a little later became un conscious in which condition she died at 10:30 o'clock. SHERIFF BELIEVES HE HAS HIM. Dean Erhart of Easton Arrested on Leavenworth Murder Charge. Leavenworth, Kan., June 14. Dean Erhart was arrested at Easton, 12 miles west of here, by Sheriff Tom Brown. The sheriff announced that he had ftir lested the -man in connection with the murder of Mrs. Katherine Schultz, the vrealthy widow whose 'body was found in Iher home after it had been half ruined by fire last Thursday morning. Erhart was brought here early yes terday morning and locked in the county jail. The sheriff intends to qutzz him, but refuses to state on what grounds he arrested the man. ESrhainc is the 'husband of a niece of Mrs. Schultz. His arrest was a sur prise at Easton as susipicion had not in any way connected him with the killing. IN ROW OVER, SCHOOLS. St. John Teachers Resign and People at Daggers' Points." Stafford. Kan., June 14. There has been auite a muddle over at St.- John during the past week or more over the school question. It seems that the peo rio of the district refused to vote a sufficient levy at the recent school meeting to enable the board to keep up the school and pay off an indebtedness that had accumulated. In order to make ends meet the board adopted the expedient of cutting the salaries of the teachers to help make up the deficiency. This had the effect, of causing all but one of the teachers to resign. The town tnen tuvioea into factions and squared ofr to ngnc n oui. A ereat deal of feeling has been en gendered and it will require some time for the ru filed tempers to Decome Boom ed. ,7 MUTES TO OPEN WEDNESDAY, j Return of Union Men to Work Consid ered Improbable, However.

Newton. Kan., June 14. There has been a good leal of talk lately about a new opera house being built in Newton this summer. Architect J. H. Skiff has drawn plans for such a building for W. J. Trousdale and Al Moore. The plans "at present call for an outlay of between $25,000 and $30,000, the building to have a seating capacity of 2,000.

On his return he will address the common school grad uating class at Phillipsburg, Kan. Trouble In Niles Church Adjusted. Niles, Kan.. June 14 The official board of the Niles IT. B. church met in business session at the parsonage on last Friday evening. The principal business consisted in dismissing the vicious and unwarranted charge which has been pending against a heretofore prominent member for some months past. This is at least some little show of Justice to the injured parties, even though the action of the pastor in call ing the: meeting was compelled-by a brief but concise letter dictated by the Interested party's attorney: It is to be regretted that the pastor or class lead er of a church will so- forget or neg- mm w "1 find Cascarets so good that I would not be without them.

HAMILTOIplNS. Completes Aeroplane Flight on Time and Captures 910,000. New York.' June -k4. Charles ft Hamilton landed at Governor's Island in nis aeroplane at 6:89 p. m., finish ing the last leg of his return trip from r-nnaaeipnia. tie lert Perth Amboy, N. J., at 6:30. He had flown an- proximately seventy miles of his re turn journey when a sluggish motor drove him to descend in a swamp near oouin AmDoy, jn. j., at 12:55 o. m. The propeller was broken there in landing, but after repairs had been made Hamilton resumed his flight. The return trip was made in one hour and thirty-six minutes at an estimated average speed of 54.9 miles an hour. which breaks the- record made in the Curtiss flight from Albany to New York. That Hamilton did not make the return trip as easily as the out-going trip, was due only to an omission of haste In his hurry to get away he neglected to clean his spark plugs; they fouled,, the engine balked and he had to come down on the banks of the Raritan river two miles above South Amboy. Curtiss still holds the official rec ord for speed, but Hamilton took all American records for cross country distance and duration, rand using his own figures for the return journey, nis average speed per mile, established a new figure. The accident to the propeller in the Jersey swamp was the second mishap of the kind during the day, but a telephone call to Governor's Island brought a new one by automobile with a new set of spark plugs and the avia tor was able to finish within twelve hours although twenty-four hours were allowed in the terms of his con tract. Carrying as he did letters between the two cities, Hamilton created the first fast mail by the overland route to Philadelphia and return and de monstrated that an aeroplane can de liver mail from one city to another with the punctuality of .government service. During the whole of his first lap he never varied more than two minutes from his time card and came down on the handkerchief laid to mark his landing spot, with the pre cision of a homing pigeon settling on its perch. It is an interesting coincidence that Hamilton won his honors with the same biplane that won the interna tlonal speed trophy for Glenn H. Cur tiss at Rheims last year and that he was driven by the same propeller with which Curtiss recently made his his toric flight from Albany to New York. Curtiss flew over a more picturesque country, but Hamilton overcame the obstacles of geography and set paths of pluck that no aviator has ever conquered. Curtiss carried pontoons. Hamilton flew 32 miles over the salt water with no protection but three inner tubes of bicycle tires wrapped around his waist. Her took chances on roof tops, bridges and moving trains that have never been even thought of before, let alone attempted. NEW WORLD'S RECORD. Walter Brooklns Soars to. a Height of 4,384 Feet. Indianapolis, Ind.,- June 14. Soaring to a height of 4,384 feet, Walter Brookins, in a. Wright biplane, broke the world's aeroplane record for alti tude in the closing event yesterday: in the National aviation meet at the In dianajKlis speedway. The record was formerly held by Louis Paulhan, who at Lo3 Angeles, arose 4,165 feet. Brook ins was 1,900 feet in the air at the end of seven minutes.' He had risen to this point in a wide circle. The whirr of the propeller was then lost to the throng of spectators and the aeroplane was but a cross, floating in the sky. Continuing his circles Brookins rose steadily at a speed estimated at 60 miles an hour. Thirty minutes after he had started he reached his highest altitude and began the descent, ma neuvering at lower and lower levels un til at a height of 100 feet he shut off his motor and glided easily to the ground along side tiie starting rail. G. -1- Bumibaugh of Indianapolis, a Wright pupil, while attempting a flight, lost control of his forward steering planes-and the machine crashed to the ground from a height of ten feet with the aviator under it. j The machine was destroyed. The wreckage took fire and only instant aid from his assistant saved Bumbaugh from death in the flames. He was slightly ut and braised. DOLLIVER IS DEFIANT. Declares He Can't Be Driven From 7 the Republican Ranks. Washington, June -1 Senator Dol- liver answered the critics of the "in surgents" in a speech delivered in the senate during the discussion of the provisions of the sundry civil ap propriation bill providing $250,000 to enable the president to gather infor mation bearing upon the operation of the new tariff law. Senator Clay's motion to strike out the provision was lost by a. party vote of 13 to 44, Mr. Dolllver and his fel low progressives- voting with the reg ular Republicans. The sundry civil bill, carrying appropriations aggre gating J118, 000,000, then was passed. Mr. Dolllver's speech attracted widespread interest and was listened to attentively by senators on both sides of the chamber. It was the re ply of the "insurgents' 'to the charges of party disloyalty and was a direct challenge to their opponents In -the party. The president's name was freely handled and his speeches were referred to '.without reserve. Referring briefly to Speaker Can non s declaration in a speech that the insurgents should be hanged," he declared that he would not treat that remark seriously. Hereafter, said Mr. Dolllver, it was evident that men entering congress must become- either understudies or Ishmaelites. "I reject. the terms and shall con tend for independence within the party. I do not fight to destroy the party, hut to upbuild it," he said. Discussing the president's course towards the "insurgents" Mr. Dolllver declared they- were not playing for popularity, as had been charged, and speaking of his personal relations to the president he declared he had nev er done anything to injure the admin istration. "Such a charge does me the grav est injury," he declared. "None re joiced more sincerely than I when he won the nomination. I did what I could to promote his candidacy for the party. I supported him from one EVENING, 'jntJNE 14; 1910, AtSiada Fountains It's the new drink and the good drink. Everybody's talking about it.

When he took the oath of office I had but one sentiment to ward him and that was the hope that God would give him power to stand against the conspiracy of greed and avarice that would enslave the party." W ill Stay In the Ranks. "I notify all parties that I have no intention of leaving the Republican party," he said. "It is not necessary for men to swallow every tariff bill that is set before- them, and it would be difficult to get ime out of the party on such a charge. It can not be done by lying about me or by calling me names, such as Free trader or Dem ocrat." Least of all can it be done by taking from my neck the millstone of political patronage. I share the univer sal disgust of making a great execu tive department the headquarters of the awkward squad of politics. Mr. Dolllver asserted it was a strate gic mistake to circulate the president's Winona speech along with nis uncom day address as they were contradictory in terms, me president "haa given en tirely different reasons in the two speeches for considering the "Payne law tne Dest ever enacted, saia xne Iowa senator. He declared the tariff was being, bolstered up by bogus fig ures. Last year witnessed two important hoaxes," continued Mr. Dolliver. "The discovery of the North Pole by Dr. Cook and the- revision of the tariff downward by Senator Aktridi." When the laughter wihich greeted his remark had died out he added that executive felicitations had been tender ed upon both events. Sneaking or tne opposition tnat tne Insurgents had aroused by failing to vote for the Payne bill, Mr. Dolliver said their dereliction was due to the belief that it failed to fulfill tae party pledges. 1 Aiiter stating tnat jvin Aiancn naa made a plea for the protection of rub ber in the interests of the rubber tire industry, the Iowa senator said that it subsequently had been ascertained that those concerned were multiplying their wealth by rapid strides. "I am through witfli It. I 6hall stand here and fight it. But I will do it as a Republican. I do not care for my political fate; I have toiled for the public for 25 years and I do not pro pose that my remaining years shall be given up to a dull consent to these con spiTiacies which would rob the people to multiply priveite wealth." Mr. Dolliver closed with the expres sion of confidence that the time was near at hand when the public would demand more jusrtice in law making and higher standards on the part of legislators themselves.

WASTED TO A MERE SKELETON With Terrible Eruptions Grew Worse in Spiteof Doctors Would .Scratch and Tear Flesh Unless Hands were Tied Mother Says HE WOULD HAVE DIED BUT FOR CUTICURA "My little son, when about a year and a half old, began to have sores come out on nis f aoa. I had a eician treat nun. but tha floras grew worse. Then they began to come on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one oame on his chest, worse than the others. Then I called another physician. Still he grew worse. At the end of about a year and a half of suffering he grew so bad that I had to tie hie hands in cloths at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton, and was hardly able to walk. My aunt advised me to try Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. So great was her faith in them that she gave me a small piece of the Soap to try and a little of the Ointment. I took them home without any faith, but to please her I tried it and it seemed to dry up the sores a little. I sent to a drug store and got a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of the Ointment and followed directions. At the end of two months the sores were all well. He haa never had any sores of any kind sinoe. He is now strong and healthy,1 and I can sincerely say that only for the most wonderful Cuticura Remedies my pre cious child would have died from those terrible sores. I used only one cake of Cuticura Soap and about three boxes of Ointment.

The news Is received In The Slate Jour nal bull dine over wires fo- this sole pur ree. H05I75 NEWS WHILE AWAY. Subscribers of the State Journal away during the summer may have the paper mailed regularly each day to any address at the rate of ten cents a week or thirty cents a month (by mall only.) Address changed as often as desired. While out of town the State Journal will be to yon like a dally letter from home. Advance payment Is requested on these short tune subscriptions, to save bookkeeping expenses. There was a saving of $27,110 In the administration of Topeka's affairs during the last fiscal year ae compar ed with the year before. That's busl nes. Indications are that the weather is going to be prefectly grand this week. This will be most acceptable, of course, but why couldn't it have swapped places with the weather of last week. This is a flag day. The grand old stars and stripes is 133 years old to day. And in case you haven't done so It is not too late yet to fling a flag to the breeze In honor of the occasion. Won't the enemies of higher edu cation wax enthusiastic over the news from Los Angeles to the effect that a college graduate turned burglar? This Incident will probably be used in the future as their "most convincing" ar gument. No possibility seems to exist that the Ballinger-Finchot Investigating committee will report Us findings to congress at the present session. And by the time the next session comes around most people will probably have forgotten about it. Mrs. Ellen Foster, a special agent of the federal government, expresses the opinion that the Kansas peniten tiary Is the best regulated and con ducted, of any In the world. Consid ering the cost of maintaining it such results should not be unexpected. Something also must be wrong these days with the Standard Oil company. It has reduced the price of a couple of grades of oil a few points. But the reduction Is not such that the consum er who, buys his oil In gallon lots will be able to notice It to any extent. Bvldently It Is quality and not quan tity which counts with the Esperanto devotees In the southwest. Only twenty-five of their number attended the first convention of the- southwestern division of the Esperantlst association of America which was held at Wichita recently. If things do not get more peaceful down there a civil war will likely break out In Oklahoma over the ques tion as to whether the capital city of the state shall be located at Guthrie or Oklahoma City. The voters recent ly decided In favor of the latter place, but Guthrie thinks she has a few rights in the premises and proposes to assert them. Now that the supreme court has de cided the Hodges rock road law to be constitutional there Is nothing to pre vent the construction of many needed substantial roads of this sort in va rious sections of the state, unless it is ft disinclination on the part of local authorities and their constituencies to undertake the building of real good roads. So Representative Hull who was de feated for the Republican nomination In Seventh congressional district of Iowa can run anyhow, if he so desires. He seems to have been regularly nom inated as the Prohibitionist candidate, ven If only two votes were cast for him. It would be the political Joke of the age if Mr. Hull did decide to run under these circumstances and win out. It is scarcely believable that as many as 2,500 Topekans would take advantage of an opportunity to see the great aviation flights without pay ing anything, especially in view of the fact that any money which might have been made by the promoters of the biggest event that has been pulled oft In Kansas was to be devoted to making the state fair bigger and better in all of its details. This Is a kind of citizen ship which doesn't count for very muoh. Gifford Pinchot appears to have a habit of not living up to his advance notices. Every one probably remem bers the statement he made at the beginning of his testimony before the Ballinger-Plnchot investigating com mittee of the various hirh crimes and misdemeanors he would prove against Mr. Balllnger. And everybody re members that he left the witness stand without proving any of them. The other day he announced that he was going to deliver a "fighting speech" at a banquet to be held in St. Paul. If what he actually said is his Idea of a "fighting speech" he Is sore ly in need of a few more private les sons in the' art from his next friend, Colonel Roosevelt. MOVING PICTURES IN SCHOOLS. At a recent playground congress the euggestlon was made that moving pic tures should be provided for the chil dren in the public schools. It would appear to be a good one, and a prac tical one also, even though the ten dency these days is to curtail rather than increase the number of fads and frills which have been permitted to creep into the public school curricu lums. More Instruction and learning of a decidedly practical and valuable sort can probably be imparted to children through the medium of motion pic tures in a quarter of an hour than could otherwise be given in a week of steady school work, or possibly a month. As an educative force, the moving pictures of the right sort are without a peer. Things that people can see are more readily understood than the things which they read about or which are told to them. This is particularly true of youngsters. Many of the terrors of geography and his tory could be made clear to them with an appropriate moving picture. And the field for the making of such pic tures Is only limited to enterprise of the picture makers. Most all of the modern school build ings are equipped with large assembly halls, especially the high schools, and a series of moving pictures along edu cational lines, and of whiah there are many in existence and there soon would be many more if there was a bigger demand for them could be shown each week that would be of im mense advantage to the pupils. It is 'likely that moving pictures will be tried in the schools in some of the larger cities before long. If they prove to be a success there is no good reason why they should not be used in the schools in the smaller cities of the country, and even in the rural dis tricts, although It might not be pos sible to show them quite as frequently in the later localities as it would be in the cities. BUSINESS OUTLOOK GOOD. Nothing but prosperous prospects arc ahead in the business world, according to Henry Clews, the New York banker. Things have been looking a trifle dubious even to this conservative op timist of late, but he considers th3 deft move of President Taft in settling the serious entanglement with the rail roads a big mark on the right side of the ledger, and he says that it has made a decided change for the better in the financial situation throughout the country. Then, too, the prospects for large crops have grown so "much better of late that the whole atmos phere of the world of trade and finance has taken an upward trend. "Perhaps the brightest development of the week," writes Mr. Clews in his current weekly financial review, "wan the government crop repor; the ad vices as to spring wheat being better than expected. The indications now are for a total wheat crop of 702,000,000 bushels, against a harvest last year of 737,000,000 bushels. This suggests a shrinkage of about 25,000,000 bushels as a resuU of poorer condition than a year ago. An oats crop of 1,021,000,000 bushels Is indicated, or about 13,000,000 bushels in excess of last year, while the outlook for barley is for a crop of 179,000,000 bushels, or about 8,000,000 bushels in excess of last year. There is also a probability of a big hay crop, although no returns for this product have thus far been furnished. For cot ton, the outlook is about 13,000,000 bales. or fully 3,000,000 more than last year5. In all parts of the country, there has been a larger acreage tilled, and condi tions are such as to induce farmers everywhere to raise the very largest product per acre possible. This means that the country will be favored with abundance in quantity; and that farm ers, though receiving lower prices than a year ago, will nevertheless obtain liberal net results. High prices for meats may continue for a period, since more time is required for increasing supplies; but it is known that con sumption of meats has been materially checked, and a very considerable in crease In the supply of hogs will oc cur this year, which is already affect ing the price of such products." PUBLIC LOAN'S IX AUSTRL.. An idea of the scope anu the useful ness to which the governmental postal savings bank system is extended in European countries, is contained in a report from Edward T. Heyn, the Uni ted States vice consul at Reichenberg, Austria, In regard to a government loan assumed by the Austrian postal savings department, in conjunction with a group of private banks. Mr. Heyn writes, among other things: "Of this loan, $26,390,000, the govern ment institution, which took the tead In the whole transaction, receives 40 per cent of the bonds, the Vienna banks a like amount, and the provincial banks of Austria the remaining 20 per cent. This notable bond issue was organized in such a manner that aH the private banks reported to the postal savings department the number of bonds they desired, but the quota in which they were allowed to participate was fixed before the loan was made. The 40 per cent of the issue reserved to Itself the postal pavings bank intends to devote to its depositors," for, according to its rules, depositors can, if they wish, ask for the investment of their savings in government bonds. In case the private banks sell their whole bonds of the present issue it is possible that the pos tal savings department will give up the entire or a part of its quota, as it can pr.esibly obtain similar values in future bond Issues. It should also te said that the private banks are allowed to retain on deposit the proceeds from the sale of bonds, paying the government 2 per cent for the money. "Besides investing its deposits in gov ernment bonds, the postal savings de partment takes charge of these for safekeeping, and sells the saime- f or the owner. For the bonds purchased the depositor is charged according to the market rate prevailing in Vienna, with an extra charge of 2 cents per thou sand on the. original sum, but at least 8 cents is deducted from his deposit or check account. Depositors axe not al lowed to keep over $406 in the postal savings bank, and a month after notice has been given to withdraw the excess amount the department buys bonds for the surplus. The bonds so bought, un less the depositor wishes otherwise, re main in custody of the postal depart ment. The coupons when due are col lected, and if so desired are credited on the depositor's caving account. The person can also demand that the cou pons be sent him, or that they be sold. Sales of bonds are made, If possible, on the same day when ordered, but If not, the depositor is duly notified. De positors can order that bonds bought shall be turned over to other persons. "The postal savings bank collects checks of all kinds for its depositors, mortgages, exchanges foreign coins and notes, and makes loans under the fol lowing conditions: It accepts as securi ties the debentures of the imperial debt, also notes and other securities Issued by the Austro-Hungarlan Imperial bank. The loans are made for three months, in ten divisible shares, the least amount being $10.15. and the greatest $5,075; it discounts the values in, its possession, if payable after three months; but loans or papers not sold by the Vienna bourse are excluded. Values or coupons pay able in gold, or bonds not deposited In the postal savings bank, are not ac cepted for discount. A charge of 12 cei:ts on every bond in case of dis counting, and 4 cents for every trans action on coupons is made." Many an Individual taken for better and for worse has no better. Although everybody is different there's an awful lot of sameness about life in general. Some parties are so conceited about their accomplishments they think them superior to anything that Nature can do. Even Ananias would have had a dif ficult job in making the reputation he did if he had lived in the present era. No matter how unbecoming a woman may think her clothes are that's no sign she wants anybody to agree with her on that subject.

If all the interurban lines being projected In Kansas now were to be built, the state would have to adopt an expansion policy, thinks the Cha- nute Tribune.

As he approached the spot where the young youth was lying, his anger was -all dissipated when tne question, "Pa, Is she after you, too?" fell upon his ears. "Pa" didn't use any strap that evening. -Smith County Journal. POINTED PAKAUKAfHi. From the Chicago News. If you call a policeman a lobster he is liVely to pinch you. A man may not be a coward because he is afraid of a woman. Some men would rather call a' bluff than recognize the real thing. An egotist is a man who thinks he has an impartial opinion of himself. A man's stomach is nearly round, yet it takes a square meal to fill it. r Flattery may be all right for dessert, but it makes on unsatisfactory meal. It's better to hustle for a dollar than to indulge in a pipe dream of millions. The average woman fans less confi dence in her husband than she has in her family physician. If you are anxious to acquire a bad name in the shortest possible time, get into tho political game. Riches may not get a man Into heav en after dearth, but poverty can get him into the other during life. A man is apt to think he is having, a moral awakening when he begins to bit up and take notice of his neighbor's sins. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New Tork Press. When a girl won't flirt her father Is J 1st big enough fool to think so. The strongest position in a family argument is to keep a silent tongue. A lot of wisdom never gets a hearing because everybody has a previous en gagement to listen to foolishness. A man has to have more or less of a good opinion about himself for there to be any at all about him .in the world. Men make laws of morality and then proceed to break them. No woman ever dares to break the iw of fash ion made by her sex.

The new reform tax law requires that the county assessor send to each property holder a postal card telling him the-amountof the assessment on his real estate. The effect of these cards has been something startling. The county offices are visited daily by men with kicks, men with roars, and men with clubs. Heretofore the kicks all came when, men went to pay their taxes. Now they have discovered far In advance what their property assess ment is, and the noise is something great. The great annual kick in Kan sas has begun heretofore in the first of November, and has lasted until De cember 20; this year under the new law, the open season for kicking be gins on the first of June, and will last until the same time as before. This gives the additional months of June, July and August, September and Octo ber for kicking. Kansas ought to be pleased with this, as the elosed season for kicking on taxes has been restrict ed to the months of January, Feb ruary, March, April and May. Kansas ought to be satisfied with a seven months' open season for kicking. Lawrence Gazette. FROM OTHER PENS EDUCATION AND MARRIAGE. The poor we always have with us. Ignorant men and women with lonr Ideals have always been with us. It devolves upon the world to reduce their number. If higher education pre vents some women from marrying that is their affair. The ancient argument as to what a woman owes to the state has been frayed at the edges for many centuries. Anyway there are millions more women than men in the world. In spite of all the sociologists may teach, the people look upon the state as a blessing and not burden. They rec ognize the truth -c-t the principle that the -wedded state fs the natural state, and many chlldre ought to be a bless ing, but they do not feel personally re sponsible for the progress of the entire human race. If fate gives to them the opportunity to be the fathers and mothers of large families, which they can support in comfort, they recognize it as this world's greatest blessing. If this course in life does not lie open they do not feel it devolves upon them to rush into it with the odds for suc cess against them. There Is never any doubt that the educated woman-' actually lives. She feels deeply in her inner consciousness that she is living. And people want to live. They have but one life to live. The state shows a remarkable ten dency to take care of itself, even omit ting the argument as to the doubtful value to the state of the children whica ignorance and poverty, provide.

Up to. the age of fifteen, Roy Chester could talk as fast and as well as any youth in the land. Then the shadow fell. He found himself In love with a school girl and began to stutter. The medical journals say that such cases are rare, but are to be met with oc casionally. Young Chester not only stuttered to the girl, but to his teacher, his par ents ana Drotners and sisters and oth ers. It was looked upon as a novelty at nrst; then it became serious. He could not sav "dog" without hanging on to the "d." A doctor was called in. He examined throat, tongue, larvnx and palate, and said it was a case where the nerves of bashfulness had overcome the nerves of cheek, or something to that effect, and he doubt ed if it ever could be cured. The only thing that would work a cure would be some great peril coming on the victim suddenly so suddenly as to stun him for a moment. This would give a sort of back-action twist to certain nerves and muscles, and the stutter would take its departure. The youth suffered as the years went on and he grew to manhood. That stutter kept him out of society. It kept him from making new ac quantances. It made a recluse of him. Many of. his friends predicted that he would- commit suicide before he reached man's estate, but this did not occur. The victim lived in hope. In fact, he went about looking for the great peril and sudden shock that was to effect a cure. Whether it would. come in the shape of a policeman- bearing down on him with his club, a reckless auto or a street car collision no one could say. Roy Chester was 22 years old when he was induced to become a pupil In a stuttering school In a New England town. In that same town there was a young ladles' school, and In that school was Miss Minnie Schoolcraft, only daughter of the retired Colonel Schoolcraft of Beeoh Haven. Fate sent her to ask him if the noon mail had gone out. Off came his hat, the blood rushed to his cheeks and he stuttered out that he d-d-d-d-id n't k-k-know. It was the first time Miss Minnie had ever heard a man stutter. There was something captivating about it to her; It was original. It was unique. It was a hundred times better than a mere "don't know." Che returned thanks and smiled. When there are a great many good- looking girls going to a postoffice more or less frequently, there will be a good reason why more or less young men will drop Into the same place. Thus it was in the New England town. Somehow they get Introduced and be come acquainted, and the world seems brighter all around. In time Miss Schoolcraft ana Mr. Chester became acquainted. He was bashfulness Itself, and he had little to say. The school wasn't doing for him what he hoped. .Even wnen ne fell in love he realized that it was a hopeless case. It was not until after he had been assured over and over again that he had a delightful verna cular that he took courage. If that neril would only come and give him the longed-for sudden shock! He hop ed for it when he lay down at night, and he hoped for it when he got up in the morning. And then vacation came and he and Miss Minnie were separated. He could write without stuttering, and he did write. It was one of his letters that the girl's mother found and carried to the father. The colonel read every last word of it, and then canea tne daughter up to ask: "Who is this Iellow wno wni.es love to you?" "Papa, he's just the nicest young man you ever heard of." was the re ply. "We are engaged." "Never! You can t be! My consent has not been asked." "But it will be some day. Roy wants to wait until his stutterlr.gr is better." "StU'trter! Do you mean to tell me tie stutters?" thundered the colonel. "Yes, papa, end it's Just the mces stutter you ever heard. I only wish you could hear him say: 'L-l-look at t-t-the s-s-s-s set set thing s-s-sun, 11-1-love.' You would be positively charmed." "Holy smoke! He stutters! He wants to be my son-in-law and he stutters! Drop it! Drop it or I'll lock you up!" "But, papa, the doctors told him long ago that if he imet with a sudden "I say drop it! I want my son-in-law to 3nter the army. How can a sut terer give the words of command? You write to him that you are done with this flirtation." The command was flat, and must be obeyed. That is, some daughters would have obeyed It. Miss Minnie kept on writing whenever she had a chance, end never even hinted that her father was a terrible man. Mr. Chester was in formed by letter Just what hotel in the CatskiUs the family was going to for six weeks, and he was invited to make his appearance, and love did what money couldn't have hired him to da He Journeyed down there. Miss Minnie was on the watch for him, while the doughty colonel wasn't. The latter was passing his days and evenings on the veranda. telMng war stories to interest ed listeners. Miss Minnie was truth ful and ingenioi. As she and young Mr. Cnester sat on a bench in the twi light she asked: "Roy, do you love me?" He nodded his head and tightened his hold on her hand. "You will have to ask papa, if we can be married. Papa's an awful man. Have you the courage?'" She felt him shudder. "Oh, but ou must have. After break last in the morning you must meet hlra as he walks out." "But I stut-tut-ter." "I don't care for that. That was why I first fell in love with you. Just talk right up to papa. You must, or we can never be married. Come on and I will show him to you." After breakfast next morning CoU Schoolcraft walked out. So did Roy Chester. Love was doing what wild horses could not have accomplished. The colonel had proceeded as far as the spot called The Bowlders when he heard a step behind him and turned to see the young man. Roy was pale faced and his chin was shaking. Some tlhng warned the colonel that he stood face to face with the stutterer who wanted to be his son-in-law. Ha had given his orders and supposed the case had been dropped, but here was tbe young man. "It's you, is it?" shouted the man of war as he raised his cane and put on a terrible look. Roy made no reply. His hour of peril had come at last. The sudden shock was there. He knew that a queer feeling was creeping over him. "S-s-s-speak s-s-s-sir!" commanded the colonel. "Are you not t-t-t-that stu ut terer?" "No, sir!" calmly replied Roy. The doctors had been right. "B-b-b-but w-w-who are y-y-you then?" "Mister Chester! Colonel,' please, don't get excited. I wish to have a minute's conversation with you." "B-b-but w-w-what ails me?" "You are somewhat excited, sir, and you stutter." "Bu-b-but I I never s-s-stut-ut ered before. W-w-what has h-h-hap-pened to m-m-me?" In twenty-four hours, by lying In bed and keeping very quiet and only speaking when positively necessary, the colonel recovered. Then young Mr. Chester was sent for. The talk lasted two long hours, and at the end of it Miss Minnie was heard to ex claim: "Oh, Roy, you had such a beautiful stutter, and now it's gone, but I think I can love you just 'the same. At least, I'll try my best!" (Copyright, 1910, by Associated Literary Press.) The Cannibal Islands. A ship which has just arrived at a harbor near Seattle brings the tidings that In Islands of the South Seas, in cluded In the Ttmga, the Society, the Solomon, and the Cook archipelagoes, there has been a sudden reversion to cannibalism, and the savages have re vived the abhorrent religious customs of their forefathers, as though the missionaries had never come among them. Two missionaries and eleven of their native adherents, it is said, fell Into the hands of a hostile tribe in tundras of Siberia, we have come to aries were killed and devoured. With steamships taking tourists to all parts of the globe in comfort; with railroads piercing the Andes, climbing the Alps, and penetrating the frozen tundras of Slbera, we have come to regard the world as so thoroughly ex plored and exploited that stories of cannibals seem to belong to the pages of Cook's voyages or the books of Mayne Reld and Ballantyne rather than to the current news of the pres ent year of grace. Yet it was only a' very few years ago that a party of American explorers was prevented from landing on the peninsula of low er California by the hostility of a band of cannibal Indians, now exterminated or removed elsewhere. Apparently one does not have to restrict his research es to the head-hunters of Borneo or the savages of inland ftew Guinea to find adherents to the repellent prac tice. The great navigator Cook, who visit ed the Tonga Islands in 1778, gave them the name of "Friendly Islands because of the peaceable disposition of the inhabitants. Great Britain established in 1899 a protectorate over the grouo which had already progress ed sufficiently far toward civilization to conclude treaties witn wrest .Brit ain. Germany, and the United States. In the Societv Islands, officially an nexed by France In 1880, natives for some years had been thought to be en tirely Christianized. In the Solomon Islands, where formerly the institu tions of slavery, head-hunting, canni balism. and "taboo" formerly flourish ed, these practices were still occasion ally in evidence, but were thought to haye been practically suppressed. If these islands have gone back to can nibalism and the rest of the horrible customs of the days of savagery, it is a remarkable reversion, but assuredly it la onlv a temporary setback to tne devoted labors of the missionaries of everv nation who have given their lives to show the islanders a better way.

There would be lots of smart men in the world If the good luck would break even. There Is this to- be said to the credit of prize fighters: They don't try to break into the chautauquas. There Is a man in Atchison noted because of the numerous ways he has of playing with the buzz saw. It is our theory that you don't need to ask a man how he feels; he will tell all the details, if there is anything the matter. An Atchison girl we- know eats so little, and is so well behaved, that she seems uncanny", unnatural, and not a human being. If a man has any sense at all he needs it most after he is forty, and usually begins to lose it by the time he reaches fifty. After a boy gets a watch that really runs, and looks at it a good deal.

Go Into a house where biscuits are eaten every day, and it is a sign that the men folks run things. Men like hot biscuits, but they are troublesome to make, and women Invented light bread. There are few real pleasures in this life. One of the greatest is to meet a really sensible man, after days and days of meeting weak people with weak opinions, and a disposition to be unfair.

The Real Reformer never takes many baths anyway. What constitutes a "course" in a dinner or lunch? The question seems trivial, but It is of weighty importance for the reason that some women pass water, (first course) soup (second course) crackers (third course), etc., until by the time a very plain meal has been served they are bragging of fourteen courses. Until some great authority decides, what constitutes a course, it will be impossible to tell who Is In the cut. glass-set. and who belongs to the empty Jelly glass crowd.
