The mild weather of 10 o'clock with the tem perature at 46 degrees turned to a blizzard, forcing the mercury down to 1 below at 6 o'clock. The fall was 47 degrees In eight hours. At 8 o'clock this morning a tem perature of 3 degrees below zero was experienced, which is the coldest reached this winter. The 25-mlle northwest wind abated slightly at this hour and the tempera ture began a slow rise. The weather bureau, however, does not look for the mercury to get far above the -zero mark during the day. When the cold wave was forecasted Saturday by the weather observers, the temperature in Canada was 22 be low. That the cold wind did not reach Topeka sooner was due to a low pressure area which developed in the Dakotas and acted as a blanket. When that area disappeared, the 'bliz zard, losing but little of its. bitterness en route, struck Kansas. While the drop in temperature of yesterday is considered to have broken the winter record, there was one of greater lap but at higher tem peratures in 1904. On February 6, that year, a drop from 71 to 20, 51 degrees, occurred. That was four de grees greater lap than that of yester day but that of yesterday was 21 de grees below the low mark of the 1904 drop. Twenty-five years ago yesterday noon, the worst storm in the history of the state began. With tempera tures ranging from 0 to 20 below, the storm raged for 30 days. No trains ran west of Florence on the Santa Fe and the northern lines were complete ly tied up and cattle died by thousands on the western plains. There was much suffering and several deaths from cold among the people then living in dugouts. Texas experienced zero weather all through the Panhandle. It was 4 de grees below at Amarillo. The lowest temperature in Oklahoma was 2 de grees below at Oklahoma City. In Kansas the range was from 2 below at Wichita to 8 below at Dodge City. Blizzards swept Nebraska and Iowa last night, the wind reaching the ve locity of 40 miles an hour at Omaha. The "temperature in Nebraska ranged from 8 below at Omaha to 16 below at North Platte, and in Iowa from 2 below at Des Moines to 8 below in the northwestern part of the state. The lowest temperature in Missouri was 4 degrees below zero at St. Joseph at 7 o'clock. This is the coldest- January 2 on the records of the weather bureau estab lished 24 years ago. Many colder days have been but not on the same date. Today seems much colder than th? temperature of zero would indicate, due to the 20 mile wind blowing from he northwest. The forccart reads: Fair tonight and Tuesday with a continuation of th- cold weather. The mercury is expected to go to 10 degrees below zero tonight. The biting wind, however, is expected tu abate. Range Cattle Suffering. Salina, Kan.. Jan. 2.

The Great .Nortnern, Northern Pacific and Chicago, Milwau kee St. Paul railroads report that their most western storm points are Williston. N. D.. Mandan, N. D., and Aberdeen, S. D., respectively. The Great Northern and Northern Pacific are running passenger trains with two engines between Sti. Paul and those points. Texas Has Wind and Snow. Dallas, Tex., Jan. 2. North Texas last night shivered under a cold wave. Amarillo, in the Panhandle, reports half an inch of snow and high winds, with a temperature of 12 above zero. Warm weather prevailed in Dallas and vicinity until 5 o'clock Sunday after noon, whei. a cold wind came from the north and in four hours there was a drop of about 15 degrees. The freezing point was reached before morning. Below Zero in Colorado. Denver, Colo., Jan. 2. Tempera tures ranging from 2 above to 10 be low zero prevail throughout Colorado and Wyoming, following the heavy enow of last night. Considerable de lay in traffic is reported by railroads from Cheyenne. In Colorado tralfic has not been seriously impeded.

With the ther mometer registering 3 degrees below zero and the wind blowing 28 miles an hour from the northwest this city and vicinity are experiencing the sever est cold of the season. The mercury is below the zero point all over Kansas and Missouri. Officials at the United States weather bureau here say it will remain in the zero neighborhood most of today. During the night a fine sleet carried before the swift northwest wind formed the first real blizzard of the year. Mercury Drops 2 Degrees an Honr. Chicago, Jan. 2. With the tempera ture dropping at the rate of more than 2 degrees an hour and the wind ap proaching a g8le, the first blizzard of the new year began to make itself relt in Chicago today. Emergency prepara tions were hurriedly made by the re lief organizations to meet the conse quences which were expected to be se vere before nightfall. Fourteen Degrees Below in Colorado. Denver, Col.. Jan. 2. Denver and Col orado in general are experiencing the coldest weather so far this winter, the thermometer at the United States weather bureau station here registering 14 degrees below zero at 5 o'clock this morning.

Pa., Jan. 2. The five chil dren of John Markasavage lost their lives today at Minersville near here in a fire which destroyed three houses! The children ranged in age from 2 months to 8 years. The origin of the fire is credited to a New Year celebra tion by boarders in one of the houses, an upset oil lamp it Is said starting the blaze. When the fire was discovered Mark asavage and his wife fan into the street and being unable to speak Knglish gave rescuers the impression that there were no children in the house and they made no effort to e' ter the place. The father unmindful othe fiames dashed back into his home but failed to reach them. He was seriously burned. Weather Indications. ...v.d., ivansas 'air and continued cold tonight and Tuesday.

Is Believed to Depend the Other Trust Cases. Similar Points at Issue Regard ing Standard Oil. Washington, Jan. 2. The brief of the government in the tobacco case had been made public. It has been prepared by Attorney General Wicker sham and his special assistant, J. C. McReynolds. Mr. Wickersham also is supervis ing the preparation of the forth coming arguments of the government in the Standard Oil dissolution suit. Hence, It is generally believed, the theories advanced in the tobacco case brief will be followed in the Standard Oil case, and, if approved by the su preme court, will be the law for years to come. In contrast with the subordination of the point a year ago, when the to bacco case was argued before the court for the first time, the govern ment now emphasizes its position that the Sherman anti-trust law should not be interpreted so as to put the stamp of illegality upon every sort of re straint of interstate or foreign com merce. Such a theory has been advanced before in the interest of the "good trusts" as distinguished from the "bad ones. At the same time the government demands that the right of congress to regulate interstate and foreign commerce be preserved un trammeled. To this end it would allow congress the power to strike at things possibly outside of interstate commerce, such as a monopoly of manufacture, if the direct and necessary consequences thereof be to nullify rules for the reg ulation of interstate and foreign com merce. The revised argument of the gov ernment says that the will of con gress in respect to the power to regu late interstate and foreign commerce is supreme unless shown to conflict with some provision of the constitu tion. All Power to- Congress. f The government asserts that con gress has the power not only to indi cate Its will, but also the power to enforce observance of it. So the con clusion is reached that if a "reason able necessity" arises, congress may strike down by statute a thing outside of interstate or foreign commerce that interferes with this supreme wilK In order for a "reasonable neces sity" to arise, it is said in the brief that a certain nearness of relationship must exist between what the statute directly strikes and interstate or for eign commerce. That relationship, it is acknowledged, probably is not sus ceptible of rigorous definition. "Mere indirect, incidental or re mote effect on commerce is not suf ficient," the government says, "but whatever as a natural and probable consequence, will occasion material hindrance to the efficacious operation of the lawful will of congress in ref erence thereto is near enough." The government contends that the majority of the court came to an erroneous conclusion in the famous Knight case, which Former President Roosevelt criticized last summer in a speech. "We submit, with diffidence," says the government, 'What failure to recognize that the powstf to regulate commerce for limited purposes authorizes legisla tion touching what is no part thereof, caused the majority to hold in the United States against E C. Knight Co. that the act prohibiting contracts, combinations and monopolies in re straint of interstate commerce did not apply to a monopoly of sugar refineries which distributed their output there in." Now Thoughts on Monopolies. It is contended by the government that its argument disposes of the de fense by the American Tobacco com pany that it is engaged merely in (Continued on Page Three.) And behold, a pale horse; and T0 Renderwi account Senator Ixxlo Has Beached a Crisis in his Career Boston, Jan. 2.-r-An account ot his 18 years' stewardship as one of the Massachusetts representatives in the upper branch of congress will be given tomorrow night by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge in an address in Symphony hall to the members of the legislature who favor his re-election for a fourth term. The friends of Senator Lodge assert his address will be the effort of hia life. All agree the senior senator has reached the crisis in his political career. The address comes on the eve of the convening of the legislature which two weeks from tomorrow will vote on the senatorship. The meeting tomorrow night is in response to a request by Representa tive members of the legislature. The address will be Senator Lodge's sole reply to numerous attacks, especially those of Governor-elect Eugene N. Foss. While Senator Lodge is addressing the majority of the Republican mem bers o.f the legislature, the Democrats of the house will hold a caucus in the state house for the purpose of select ing a candidate for speaker and per haps to plan a legislative campaign that may Include the senatorship. PRESSURE IS GOOD But It Is Feared Demand Is Too Great. No Reports 'of Shortage at the Headquarters. Excess gas consumption during the past twenty-four hours is likely to produce a shortage before night. The pressure continued normal up to noon today, however, and there is a possi bility of getting through without seri ous difficulty. "The gas pressure at the reducing station on the city limits is holding up at the present hour," said Man ager L. G. Treleaven, of the Con sumers' Gas company, just before noon today. "There is no trouble any where on the pipe line and our only means of forecast is at the reducing station. .While the pressure there has not fallen below normal, we are only hoping that it does not. We have no means of knowing whether it will or will not The excess consumption naturally would exhaust the supply. There is a good chance of us pulling through all right." It seems to be a hard matter to bulletin the gas supply. The reducing station indicators could, of course, show no weakening of pressure until that happens. That has not yet come. When it does there is -no telling when the gas will strengthen u,ntil it does. A little coal in V the .cellar and a changeable furnace burner is the most satisfactory forecast of the indoor temperature. "TOPEKA WAKE 'UP;" Warden Codding Says Conditions Here Are Growing Worse. According to Warden J. K. Codding of the state penitentiary conditions are not as they should be in the capital city. "Topeka got too busy awhile ago looking after private affairs." said he in the course of address on "The New Crim inology" Sunday at the Noveltv theater, "and now you are paying for it. "A man who .is too absorbed In private affairs to interest himself in political af-. fairs is not doing any more for the good of the community than the man who is in politics for private gains. "What per cent of the people are in favor of bad influences on the streets I dare say not fifteen but that fifteen often exerts much influence in elections as the good people are too busy to interest them selves and the others are extremely, ac tive.

Planned to Beach an Altitude Previously Unequal ed. Adevrse Air Currents Checked Him at 7,12 Feet. Los Angeles, Jan. 2. The winds, whose treachery Arch Hoxsey so often defied and conquered, killed the noted aviator Saturday. As if jealous of his intrepdity, they seized him and his fragile flying machine, flung them down out of the sky and crushed out his life. He fell dead upon the field 'from which he had risen but a short time before with a laughing promise to thousands of cheering spectators to pierce the zenith of the heavens, sur pass his own phenomenal altitude rec ords and soar higher than any other man dared go. Cross currents, whirled off by a va grant storm that floated in from the sea, caught his biplane and shot him downward 663 feet to earth. Catching his frail machine in one of the spec tacular spiral glides that are dan gerous even in the calmest weather,! the warring winds sported with it a moment, juggled it and then, as if suddenly maddened, hurled it to the ground. When field attendants reached the spot where the tangled pile of wreck age lay. Hoxsey was dead.- His body lay broken and twisted almost out of all semblance to a human form. All. of the spectators in the grand stand witnessed the tragedy, as it oc curred "directly facing them, on the opposite side of the course. They sat in awe-stricken silence until the an nouncer gave the news through the megaphone: "Hoxsey has been killed." Then from the great grandstand came the sobbing of women, who but a short time before had clapped their gloved hands to the daring aviator as he arose for his final flight. Returning the compliments show ered upon him by his feminine ad mirers, Hoxsey in gallant manner, had promised to soar higher than he or any other man had ever flown be fore. "Of course, the success of this at tempt is contingent upon the kind of weather I find up there," said Hox sey, just before he left the ground. "Some of the temperatures one en counters in the higher altitudes are simply beyond human endurance. But if I can stand it and the motor works as well as it has been working. I'll come down with a record of 12,000 feet or more." Swiss Cheese Atmosphere. Even at that moment the wind had attained a velocity that kept more cautious aviators on the ground. After he had ascended, it gained rapidly in violence. Moreover, it created a "Swiss cheese" atmosphere, the most treacherous meteorological condition that man-birds have to contend with. There is nothing by which it may be. known why Hoxsey did not go higher than the 7,142 feet which his barograph showed he had attained, but he apparently encountered at that altitude the same conflicting ah- cur rents that finally overcame him. Not withstanding this, and with the same reckless daring he has displayed daily during the last week, he descended by a series of spiral glides and was per forming one of his thrilling rolling dips when hia biplane suddenly capsized in mid air and shot. to earth. Over and over the aeroplane turned as it fell, with a speed so swift that of all the thousands who saw the trag edy, not one could tell what effort the aviator made to save himself. When the wreckage had been cleared suf ficiently so that his body could be reached, he was found planted firmly in his seat, his arm around the levers. The steel sprocket which drove the propellers lay across Hoxseys face, the motor resting upon the right side of his body.

The beautiful memorial window In honor of the late R. B. Gemmell was dedicated this afternoon in the hall which bears the name of the man in whose memory this $700 gift, to the Central T. M. C. A. was installed. The window is an excellent piece ol workmanship, 7x8 feet in size. The cen tral feature of the memorial pane is a figure of a "knight of the cross." The presentation address in behalf of the men of the Santa Fe and other friends of the man in whose memory the window has been put in place, was made by J. M. Meade. E. L. Copeland gave the response in behalf of the board of directors of the Y. M. C. A. Dr. Estey made a few remarks on Mr. Gemmell's connection with the First Presbyterian church as an elder. BLEW ROOF OFF. Bock Island Passenger Coach Unroofed in West Kansas. Passengers Panic Stricken But Leave Car Uninjured. If you think that the wind was blowing hard in Topeka Sunday and last night, stop and think of what happened to a half hundred shivering passengers on the Rock Island in western Kansas last night. The cold "northwester" blew so hard against No. 28, that fast Colorado train on the Rock Island, that the entire roof was lifted from a passenger coach and the passengers sat in their seats with the cold, leaking clouds above them and the snow blowing on their uncov ered heads. The roof of the car was. blown from the train and landed in a corn Held three car lengths from the-railroad right-of-way. No one was hurt. The engineer, who was boarded up in his cab fighting his way through the blinding snow and wind and trying to encourage his fireman to feed the furnace with extra energy, didn't know of the accident to his train un til he heard the whistle of the bell cord in his roost. The train was stopped, the passen gers were transferred to other cars on the train and the car was switched from the train at the next stop. De spite the accident the engineer pulled his string of heavily loaded coaches Into Topeka but 30 minutes behind time. The Rock Island seems to have been in the path of the storm through Kan sas. All of the Rock Island towns from the western Kansas villagea to the towns In the southwest and east ern borders announce fierce" winds, light snow, below zero temperature and extreme cold. This morning the telegraph depart ment of the road was 'unable to get a number of the terminals along the lines through Kansas. "We can't get any word from Dallas and our wires are in bad shape on the Clay Center line," said E. L. Whit ney, superintendent of telegraph, this morning. "We have the train wires working and we have been able to dispatch our traffic, but the rest of our wires are out of service. From all conditions it looks as though the Topeka variety of weather is prevalent over all of the western lines of the Rock Island." Reports from Herington, Wellington, Wichita. Hutchinson and Salina state that the weather is below zero and has been since last evening. Cold north west winds are reported and a light snow. The cause of the break in the wires comes from two sources the extreme cold and the wind. The suddenness of the cold weather contracted the wires in such a manner that they snapped easily when struck with the hard wind. The wind was gusty and the wires slashed on the ground. All the trains last evening, all night and this morning were behind time. They ranged from 15 minutes to -jwo hours. This was the general condition on the Santa Fe and the Union Pa cific. jOn the Santa Fe reports from Cha nute, Wellington, Arkansas City and Emporia show cold weather of the zero auality. In Chanute, Arkansas City and Wellington the weather was at the zero point this morning. At Emporia the thermometer had dropped to four de grees below zero. The Santa Fe and Union Pacific have had a little trouble with their wires but not enough to cause any serious de lays. FANCY CHICKENS HERE. Judging at Poultry Show Began This Morning.

Give New Oath of Allegiance to Pope Pius. Bar on Doubtful Books Is a Guard Against Modernism. m DANGER SEEX HERE Bishop Lillis Makes Declaration on Status in Church. 'Not Enough to Hinder Sale of Bad Books," He Says. Kansas City, Jan. 2. Every Roman Catholic priest of the Kansas City and Leavenworth dioceses and throughout tne world has taken the oath to ad here to the doctrinal teachings of the church prescribed recently by Pope Pius X. The motu pronrio of the holv father ls Intended to safeguard the leacnings of the church against mod ernism, as promulgated by some uni versities of Europe. The form of the oath was transmit ted to the bishops in September. Janu- -ary 1, 1911, was named as the day on which documents, signed by all priests and divinity students, should be in the hands of the bishops, to be kept in special files. The Rt. Rev. Thomas F. Ullia. aa coaljutor to Bishop Hogan in the Kan sas City diocese, and bishop of. the Leavenworth diocese, has been receiv ing the signed oaths of the priests of rural districts of the two dioceses. Also, in the last week, he has administered the oath to the priests of this city in the cathedral and of Kansas City, Kan., in the chapel at his home in that city. Bishops as Book Censorsi. The motu proprio inioined the bish ops to a rigid censorship of religious inerature 10 prevent writings touched with modernism from being read. No book of this kind, it says, should be permited to seminarists or universitv students, because the injury to them wouia be equal to that caused by im moral reading and would poison Chris tian life at the very fount. The same decision is to be taken with reference to the writings of some Catholics, who. though not badly disposed themselves. nave been imbued with modern philoso phy and strive to harmonize it with their faith. "But it is not enough to hinder thi reading and sale of bad books." says the holy father. "It is also necessary 'K to prevent them from being printed. xience me bisnops are to use the ut most severity in granting permission to nt. In ail episcopal curias, therefore. censors are to be appointed for the re-" vision of works Intended for publica tion. They are to be chosen from both branches or the clergy and must be men of age, knowledge and prudence. As to Modernism. In the oath a firm acceptance of ev ery definition of the teachings of the church is required first. This binding obligation follows: "I also reject the error of those who aver that the faith proposed by the church may be in conflict with history, and that Catholic dogmas, in the sensa in which they are now understood can not be harmonized with the more truthful 'origins' of Christianity. More over. I condemn and reject the opinion which declares that a Christian man of better culture can assume a dual per sonality, one as a believer and another as an historian, as if it were permis sible for the historian to hold fast wtiat his faith as a believer contradicts, or to lay down premises from which there follows the falsity or the uncer tainty of dogmas, provided only that these are not directly denied. Like wise I reject that method of estimating and interpreting Holy Writr which, set tine.

Furthermore, I reject the opin ion of those who hold that a teacher -of the science of historical theology or the writer on the subject must first put aside the notions -previously con ceived about the supernatural origin of Catholic tradition or about the divine aid promised for- the. perpetual preser vation of. each revealed truth; then, that the writings of Individual fathers must be interpreted solely by the data of science, without any reference to sacred authority, and with that free dom of judgment wherewith every pro- fane record is usually examined. Finally, and in general. I declare my self to be far removed from the error of the modernists, who hold that in sa cred tradition there is nothing inher ently divine; or who far worse still admit it in a pantheistic sense; so that thus there wtfuld remain only a bare simple fact equal to the ordinary facts of history, viz., that the school started by Christ and his apostles ,nds, in the ages that follow, men to carry it on by their energy, their skill and their gen ius." Bishop Lillis sees little danger in America of Catholics accepting the ideas of the modernists. BIG MAJORITY OF 26. DeniocrataXControl Ohio Legislature on, Joint Ballot. Columbus, O.. Jan. 2. The seventy ninth general assembly of Ohio opened today at 10 o'clock with the Democrats for the first time in two decades in con trol of both branches and Judson Har mon, a Democrat in the gubernatorial chair, having been re-elected at the No vember election. Unusual interest is shown in the proceedings of the legis lature because there will be elected, a sucessor to United States Senator Charles Dick, a Republican and because of the fact that Governor Harmon is believed to be in training for the pres idential nomination. In the senate there are 19 Democrats and 16 Republicans and in the house 70 Democrats and 48 Republicans. The Re publicans lose one member by th( death of iRepresentativs-elect C. J.

BAy OX ALL-BOCSD ATHTiETTCS. Missouri Schools May limit Number of Games fop One Man. Omaha. Jan. 2. The old question of limiting the number of sports in which a student may participate In one year is coming up again in the schools in the Mis eourl vallev. The discussion does not in j v,! .t.tA univeralties. but at- vniut; i t j i plies-' more to the hlgls schools and small colleges. The argument of those wno wish for re form Is that with the many and varied college sports of today the student who is given to athletics gives -op his whole time to them for the honor of Ms school and to the detriment of his personal in terest in his studies. A rurtKer charge that teachers are inclined to favor the athletic men in order that Chey may keep up in their studies is made. Beginning with the school year In Sep tember the football practice is started, end from then until Thanksgiving there is very little time for anything else. Imme diately after Thanksgiving basket ball looms up and, as in small schools and col leges there are but few athletes, the foot ball men make up the basket ball squad. Basket bal' Is continued until far into March and really covers the Indoor track season and ends Just before the spring track work begins. Strange to say, the same men who appeared on the football eleven and on the basket ball squad are right on hand for places and honors in the track team. The baseball season finds the same men on hand. In many cases the parent objects and al lows his son to work in only one sport, but in recent years the school authorities have taken a hand and havo made rulings which do not actually forbid the student's nlaying on more than one team, Dut wnicn ia practice make it Impossible. At present jreignion uiuvcraay, wiucu for years has not had a track squad and never has had a basket ball five, Is going to try these sports this season, but with misgivings on the part of many parents that it will take up too much time In the spring season. At the Omaha high school several parents have forbidden their sons to work on football teams, basket ball five kUid the track. Bellevue has had no basket ball team for some years. The Omaha university contemplates having no track team. Iincoln and other high scihools in Nebraska and many of the email colleges in Iowa Nebraska and Mis souri will drop one sport and still more have men whose parents refuse to allow them to shine in all lines of athletics. JJOj ARTHUR CANT STAND PACK. Black Giant Sees Handwriting and Makes Resolutions. Milwaukee, Wis., Jan. 2. Heavy weight Champion Jack Johnson Is feeling the effects of the pace that kills. Daily dalliance with the grape and its attendant evils, combined with the wearisome grind of stage work, which has occupied him almost continuously since he won the title, are having a serious effect on the black giant. Johnson himself admits that he is far from being in good condition. He intends to rest and recuperate before it is too late, and with that end in view he is now mapping out a two months' vacation in California. Within two weeks he will leave for the west, and will go into the mountains. A small party of his intimate friends will accompany him. All thought of early battles have been dismissed from the mind of the champ. Possibly in March he .will consider a match, but that depends upon his condition at that time. Recently reports were printed that Johnson has accepted an offer from a club in Paris to box the winner of the Sam Langford-Joe Jeanette battle, but the black man says there is no truth to the stories. Another dispatch hinted that John son has made a secret? agreement to box Al Kauffman in London next spring. The champion admits that he is considering this match, but he has not accepted terms, and it is by mo means certain that he will take on he f-ATornia heavy.

His strongest points are batting and throwing and for these reasons he looked especially good to Ducky. Mobile has never vRi a. rn Vi or -.tin could hit, and when Holmes took charge uuncn ne 101a tne omciais that the first move he would make would be to secure a backstop who could "pickle ym, mrow ana wlio possessed brains. Unless a team has such a man behind the bat." says Holmes, "it cannot be a success." He writes that Cadman fills the bill exactly and that he was easily the best catcher in the Western league last year, when, with the Omaha club, he batted .342, taking part In 101 games. He stood third In the league in hitting. In 1909 Cadman caught seventy-nine games for Omaha, batting .273. In 1908, withi the Saginaw club of the South Michi gan league, he batted .291 in 103 games. These records, of course, were made in leagues slower than the Southern. Never theless, Cadman is a young player who has improved steadily for the last three years and there is no reason why he should not hit .275 in this company. If he does, we will love him to death, for that is 100 points more than our 1909 pair could ring up. SHAFFER LEADS ST. JOE FIELD. Boss Holland Will Not Sign Himself Again This Year. St. Joseph, Jan. 2. Jack Holland, owner of the Drummers, was under contract with the St. Joseph cluta last season. In looking over his last year's contracts the manager discovered his own agrement and it caused him to smile. In explaining the contract, Holland said that in order to wear a uniform and (jet out cn the coaching lines last summer he was forced to sign a regu lar player's contract. "I'm not thinking of signing cne this year," said he, "because I don't expect to get any farther than the bench. Charlie Shaffer will do all of the managerial work on the lines and with a man like him in uniform there will be no need for my getting off the bench." Holland is trying to switch the ex hibition dates of March 25. to 26, scheduled with with St. Paul, in order to bring the Cleveland club here. He has written to Manager Kelly of the Saints offering several other attractive dates and believes the shift can be made without trouble. The Naps have everything booked but the two dates mentioned. If several deals which are about to be consummated materialize as expect ed, Holland will have some real good news for St. Joseph fans In the course of a few days. He has a number of players in sight who will greatly strengthen the Drummer lineup. It 13 probable that Charlie Shaffer will report here February 1 and work in Holland's pool hall, which the man ager expects to open to the public on that date. Shaffer had intended com ing fer the schedule meeting but will probably be here on the date men tioned. Contracts will be sent to the Drum mers within a few days and by the time the schedule meeting is over Hol land hopes to have things well lined up to begin the training season, which will open early in March. WOMAN MOTOR CAR EXTHCSLST Miss Florence Webber, a Daughter of Inventor of "Star Starter. One of the most enthusiastic auto mobile enthusiasts among the women of today is Miss Florence Webber, who plays the part of Adelina in Joseph Weber's production of "The Climax," at the Grand tomorrow night. "The Climax" was to have been here tonight but was unable to reach here from Sioux City. Miss Webber is what one might call a born automobilist. Fearless, daring, and with a wonderful adapt ability for handling high powered cars with graceful ease. Misa Webber's father is the inventor of the famous Webber "Star Starter," used in start ing the machine without the usual tiresome methods of cranking. His method is attached to the wheel By the mere pressing of a button with the thumb causes -the car to start. 1 Hence Miss Webber's liking for the automobile. While in Atlanta recently an in formal automobile meet was given in her honor on Atlanta's million dol lar speedway, which was a great suc cess. There were several cars on the scene and there was some very lively brushes. The stars of the meet were the two E. M. F.'s,' Asa G. Chandler, Jr.'s, powerful Fiat 60, and the little red Conneract Buiek. This last named car was the winner of the Chandler cup race at the Atlanta meeting last fall, driven by Joe Nel son. The warmest kind of interest was taken in the two E. M. F.'s, one of them was the "Bullet," driven by Miss Webber. Miss Webber showed exceptional speed against the field and kept her opponents in the rear right into the stretch. The young actress proved a wizard at the wheel. 1 Bullet Hit His Glasses. Pittsburg, Jan. 2. Wm. Rosser, aged 11, was probably saved from death today when a spent bullet struck a lens of bis glasses as he walked along Homestead street. The glass was-reduced to powder but instinctively, the boy closed his eves and the bullet and glass fell to the sidewalk. j,iim m j, c- -4 'i mmmKmmmm-mtssamm t-t- -jmumim)mm urn 'MVV,; fxf r'W v 'tW, r.ft V":a s -'J 15'' I-, l'f i 1:1 Left to right, top row, Ad -Wolgast, Alie Attell, Juckson Johnson, ITank Gotcli.

As the 1910 sport season closes many familiar faces are among the champions, together with" some new ones. In baseball the world champion ship goes to the Philadelphia Ameri can league team, with Connie Mack as the dominant factor in winning the title. In tennis W. A. Ijarned for the sixth consecutive time holds the na tional championship, with Miss Hazel Hotchkiss of San Francisco as the na tional women's, champion. On the DEMAND FOR NEW BONDS Towns Are Calling on Banks to Fl nance Their Improvements. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 2. A bond firm- that has had a representative traveling through the Prairie states, endeavoring to interest bankers in high grade bonds, reports that little progress has been made. The bankers have too much use at home for their money, and their customers' who are carrying heavy deposits are Inclined to make local investments, rather than go to a distance. The towns are also calling on banks to finance their- improvements, and bonds for sewers and paving are of fered. These meet with varying mar kets. Some town have had much dif ficulty in floating 5 and 6 per cent bonds, while others have handled 5's at home with little difficulty. Local money conditions have had much to do with this and the credit of the towns themselves must, of course, be consid ered. The banks have been willing to help home concerns, rather than TITLE HOLDERS AT END OF 1910. llfl'lfi 1 I HJ 1 1 HJ'HII I a i tUHUI I U i il li"'IT'l,U)"i,MO'li"ii-ai.j g. turf S. C Hildreth holds the record of being the largest stake winner, with $144,025 to show for his year's work. In the middle distance runs Melvin W. Sheppard stands supreme, holding the titles in everything from 500 to 1,000 yards. A new face is found as cham pion pole vaulter in that of Leland Scott of Stanford, Cal., who raised the pole vault mark, .to- 12 feet 10 inches. In aeronautics Archie Hoxsey with an altitude record of 11,474 feet, prac tically two miles; stands supreme. those at a distance, but even there, they have had to go cautiously. The effect has been to make the market for bonds slow, and with the present prospect for the money market not much encouragement can be given for the improvement. The banks are themselves finding it more profitable to use their funds in supplying the short term note de mand at home than to keep money tied up in low rate bonds and have been gradually letting go the hold ings in the latter. If money condi tions improve, they will be back in the market again, and the effect may be a most important one on the mar ket, as a whole. This is not likely to occur for the present- Most of the country bankers are giving little at tention to such investments and only occasionally is a customer asking for such securities.

Rock Island Employees' Magazine. VIEWS OF FOUR PRESIDENTS. Railway Chiefs Discuss General Busi ness Prospects for Year. President Delano of the Wabash says with regard to the new year'e prospects: "While I feel that busi ness is now on a substantial basis and will continue so, I do not look for particularly favorable results on' American railways during 1911. Busi ness will. I think, move in good vol ume, and, of course, as far as gross earnings are concerned any' increase which is granted in rates will "be of material assistance. With respect to net earnings I am not optimistic as to the result." Iarius Miller, president of the Chi cago, Burlington Quincy, says: "Business is hesitating because of sev eral prominent factors that will con tinue to deter activity and delay-reassurance until they are resolved into a clearer understanding, but I have faith in the belief that a correct solu tion of the pending questions will be reached before the new year is far advanced and that under the influence of more certain conditions regarding the future of invested capital busi ness will go forward in a satisfactory volume." H. U. Mudge, president of the Chi cago, Rock Island Pacific Railway, says: "Results of the past year's op erations of railways in the west were unsatisfactory, both to operating men and to stockholders. While there was a considerable increase in traffic handled, there was. a very material decrease in net income, due partly to lower rates received on certain traffic, but largely to the much higher- cost of operation. The new year opens with large increases made in the rates of wages paid nearly all classes ol employes." E. P. Ripley, president of the Atchi son, Topeka Santa Fe, says; "Railroads-have gone through a year char acterized .by legislative agitation against them, unrest in labor and un certainty in matters financial. They are, as a whole, today from $250, 000,000 to $800,000,000 behind on FOR SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS. Blanket Order to Cover Reparation in Missouri River Case. St. Louis, Mo., Jan, 2.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 2, 1911. ALTERNATE PAGE FOLLOWS MADE FINE RECORD Topeka Fire Department Makes Good Showing. Fire Loss in Topeka for 1910 Was Only $34,000. WAS ONE OF THE BEST. Tear 1909 Loss $108,000 and 1908 Was 294,000. Number of Fires in Twelve Months Was 285. One of the best years in the history of the Topeka fire department, as far as the actual fire loss In the city is con cerned, was made by Chief Wilmarth and his men in 1910 the last day being Saturday. Considering the fact that Topeka is a city of 50,000 people the record for the last year was marvelous and will be a record-breaker among this class of cities in the United States. In the year 1910 the fire loss in this city was $34,000. including the damage to buildings and to contents of build ings. The fire damage to buildings was $20,000 and to contents was $14,000. The showing made by Chief Wilmarth will compare most favorably with the fire loss in 1909 when Topeka suffered to the extent of $108,000. And in the year 1908 the loss was $294,000. Once before the city has gone under the $34. 000 mark but it was a number of years ?go when the population and the fire district were not as large and extensive as at the present time. There were a large number of fires in the year the small fire loss cannot be credited to the fact that there were few fires. From January. 1910. to Janu ary, 1911, the number of alarms re sponded to by different companies in the Topeka fire department were 2S5. That is an average of 24 fires a month or almost one a day. According to the official figures at the rate of 285 fires a year with a total loss of $34,000. each fire averaged a loss of $119 to the property owner. "When it is taken into consideration that these fires include blazes from buildings in the business district and in the fire lim its as well as in the city's outskirts the average per fire is one of the best on record. The month of May was the largest fire loss month in the year and that month the property owners witnesses a loss of but $8,240. This was the month the Forbes elevator burned. The only other fire of the month above $100 was in a barn nt 523 Harrison street. June camt second with a loss of $6,500. This in cluded theTopeka laundry fire, a dwell ing house at 130 North Lake and a house at 1415 Van Buren. It is a noticeable fact that the en tire fire loss of the year was almost covered by insurance. In very few fires was insurance not carried. The proper ty value endangered in the year has not been figured out by the fire mar shal, but it will run into the upper thousands. The fires by months as follows. The losses are. approximate: Month -Jjomi .Number January $4,5w 20 February 800 17 JIari-h 3.000.... 44 April 2.900 ..30 Mav S.240 19 June 6.500 21 July 5f.O SO August 52S 10 September 475 11 October 2.7"0 26 November 2.20 29 December 900 19 HOXSEY IS KILLED.

Then the shout went up "Hoxsey is falling." Brookins Wept. At the same instant a sigh or gasp, not loud, but of tremendous volume, rose from the packed grand stand. That single sup pressed sigh was the only sound that came from the crowd for fully 20 minutes after the accident. Brookins whirled at the sound of the cry and saw the crash, lie uttered but one word. "God;" his legs gave way beneath him and he fell in the roadway. Although he had been in sev eral serious accidents himself, he rose thoroughly unnerved and cried like a child. At that time the field announcers were rushing up and down, shouting through their megaphones: "No cause for alarm; Hoxsey is all right." But Brookins waus not convinced. "That's a lie." he shouted back at one of the announcers, "Hoxsey's dead. I know it." and again he burst into tears. Brookins was not the onlv- air man over come by the tragedy. Charles F. Willard of the Curtlss team, likewise collapsed. Willard had predicted just a moment be fore Hoxsey fell that an accident was sure to overtake him in the dangerous atmos phere, and almost before he had com pleted the utterance of his prophesy it was verified. "I knew it was coming." he sobbed, a few minutes later, as ne sat in his hangar with his head between his hands. Without waiting for the announcement that all flying events would be called off for the day. the crowd of its own accord began filing out through the exits to go home, A squad of police guarded the wreck, but they were not needed. A few disgruntled ones remained to demand back their admission fee. A reporter of a Pasadena newspaper broke the news of Hoxsey's death to his mother, Mrs. C. M. Hoxsey, at her Belle vue Drive home in that city. She bore up under the shock with an exhibition of the courage that had characterized the aerial daring of her son.

President Taft has been appealed to by former Fores ter Gifford Finchot and his brother, Amos Pinchot, to cancel immediately, without further hearing, the so-called Cunningham Alaskan coal claims. In a voluminous brief filed with the presi dent in accordance with permission given in a letter written to them by Secretary Norton on November 9, Mr. Pinchot and his brother contend that the record in the case "abundantly proves that the claims are illegal and that from the beginning the claimants have conspired to defraud the govern ment." 'NTo resort to a court or a re-hearing of the case is necessary to secure jus tice and protect the people's property." says the brief. "The case against the claimants is already conclusive. We believe the duty of this executive in regard to the claims is obvious and im mediate. The claims should be can celled by the president forthwith." "No transfer of the Cunning-ham eases to a court for a decision upon the present record would relieve the executive department of responsibility for failure to have the case against the claimants fully presented by attorneys of experience and ability and for omit ting to produce all the evidence of fraud available." declares the brief after charging that "in spite of the clearness of the existing proof we be lieve it to be our public duty to point out that the whole of the case against the claimants has not been presented." "The evidence in this case goes much farther than to establish the fraud of attempting by subterfuge to acquire from the government more coal lan-J than the law allows. It shows that from the beginning the claimants act ed with the definite and sustained in tention of defeating the primary pur pose and essential spirit of the law the spirit and purpose to prevent monop oly, and secure competitive develop ment of the nation's resources." Regarding the effect of monopoly in Alaska, the brief says: "It is evident that an enormous sav ing can be made to the people of Alas ka, to the whole northwest and to the United States navy if only these coal mines are opened, under conditions of competition." It charges that "the in dustries of Alaska have been for years largely in the hands of a great and oppressive monopoly, the Guggenheim syndicate which has kept out other capital, throttled competition and held Alaska at a standstill." The brief recites that the case for the government is supported by five main lines of evidence, cited as follows: -"FirstThe history -of the operations of the Cunningfham entrymen in Alas ka, as derived from their own' records and statements, shows that from be ginning to end the"- were all members of a single association engaged in ac quiring a joint property and that the claimants never owned these claims separately. "Second The book of accounts of the Cunningham group and the reports made by its agents are all evidently based on the assumption that all the claims are one property owned by one association. "Third From first to last, the sub scribers took no interest whatever in the situation or value of particular claims entered in their respective names. "Fourth Within the shortest practi cable time after final certificates were issued, the Cunningham associates took steps to turn over their claims to a corporation on a basis of equal shares. "Fifth More than one-half the claim ants have admitted in affidavits that they had always acted with a mutual understanding that they would com bine their claims after titles were se cured and one so confessed at the hear ings." Discussing the charge that important evidence against the claimants was suppressed by land office agents, the brief savs: "John W. Dudley, register of the land office at Juneau, Alaska, one of these agents, went so far as to advise Cun ningham specifically how one of the claimants, who had told the truth in his affidavit, should change his state ment so as to strike out evidence of fraud and avoid investigation which will at least involve an interminable delay." D1X IS SWORN IN. First Democrat Governor in Xew York in Kightccn Years. Albany. X. Y.. Jan. 2. John Alden Dix. a Democrat, was inaugurated governor of New York state at noon today. He suc ceeds Governor Horace White, who be came chief executive last October when Governor Charles E. Hughes resigned to become an associate justice of the su preme court. Surrounded by a brilliant gathering in the great assembly chamber which had been appropriately decorated for the oc casion, Governor White relinquished the office of chief magistrate to Governor Dix. the first Democratic governor to as sume the office in IS years. The governor then delivered his inaugural address. He satd in part: "The end of all government should be the preservation of true liberty that lib erty which guarantees to every man the fullest measure of individual right con sistent with a proper maintenance of the rights of all others and at the same time preserves and maintains the collective rights of all the members of the state. "Under our constitution such liberty we possess in New York. It must be our con stant aim to so strengthen and extend the exercise of the personal and inalienable right of the individual as to bring to the state the greatest growth and highest development of which our citizenship and resources are capable. "I am succeeding to the governorship when business training and uuderstanding seems absolutely essential to the proper administration of public affairs. "Great as are the public resources of our comonwealth expenditures and out go have grown in a measure out of pro portion to the reserve of the state and we seem committed to the outlay which will not alone tax to its fullest extent our income but demand that we draw on the future in a way which in my opinion, is of veTy doubtful wisdom."

S. Continued' from Page One.) manufacturing tobacco, over which congress has no control. The government has some new thought to express to the court in re gard to' monopolies. "Congress in the Sherman act," says the government, "has ordered the highways pf interstate commerce to. be kept free of monopolies. When one Is found there, the court's duty is-to de molish it; and whether it was built1 by means themselves in violation of com mon law or state statutes is beside the question. "The well settled' rule at common law is that tendency to monopoly makes contracts or. combinations un lawful and not that the illegality of the monopoly depends upon the use'of lawful means in acquiring it. The power of. congress is supreme; within accepted doctrines defendants have a monopoly and the duty of the court is to demolish it by a decree adjusted1 to" the circumstances." "Of course, every mere acquisition of property or business neither consti tutes nor indicates the combination in restraint-of trade;" but we are con cerned with what the present record reveals," the government urges. "Through a series of years defendants in combination in concert have acted with the express purpose and effect of destroying competition, restraining trade and acquiring monopolies. The result is the very thin?; which the Sherman act was designed to prevent and the mere fact that transactions were in the form of acquisitions can not be allowed to defeat the law. "The statute expressly requires the courts to prevent and restrain viola tions of it. With the wisdom of this we have nothing to do; the duty is to enforce the will of congress. It seems rather preposterous to maintain that illegal restraint of commerce must con tinue because to destroy them would interfere with the conduct of business in ways satisfactory to those violating the law." History of the Case. The tobacco case was instituted In 1907 in the circuit court of the United States for the Southern district of New York. The government was the com plaining party. Allies in the various branches of the tobacco business, with combined assets of more than $400,000, 000, constituted the organization which the government sought to have thy court dissolve. The four judges each rendered sepa rate opinions in the tobacco case, but three of them united in a decree, hold ing many or uie corporations had en tered into a combination "in restraint of trade in violation of the first sec tion of the Sherman anti-trust act. These three decreed the dissolution of this combination. Other corporations. including the United Cigar Stores com pany, the Imperial Tobacco company, were found not to be in the combina tion. None were held to be "monopo lizing" in violation of the second sec tion of the Sherman anti-trust law. The application of the Sherman anti trust law involves not only an investi gation into the facts, but includes in interpretation of the law itself. The principal uncertainties in regard to the law cluster around three words in the statute. These words form the basis of three questions: What is "com merce what is "restraint" of trade or commerce? and What is it to "mon opolize?" Around "What is commerce?" the principal fight in the tobacco case probabl y to- be f 6un.- The "commeree which the government claims is being restrained and monopolized is not com merce, according to the tobacco attor neys. It is nothing more than the man ufacture of an article which later en ters into commerce. The bulwark be hind its fight along this line is the famous Knight decision, made by form er President Roosevelt last fail in criti cising the decisions of the supreme court. In that case the court declined to suppress an alleged monopoly jn manufacture of sugar, on the ground that it had authority to-proceed only by way of preventing monopolies in commerce. The tobacco corporations claim that they are concerned only in cidentally in commerce. Again, the dispute as to what is in cluded in the word "Commerce," as re ferred to in the Sherman anti-trust law, arises in connection with the char acter of a holding company. Both the Standard Oil and the tobacco organiza tions contend that the power granted by the constitution to regulate interstate commerce is not so extensive as to in clude regulation of the acquisition and ownership of a holding company of stock in other corporations. The gov ernment argues that whenever a hold ing company necessarily stifles -or di rectly and substantially restricts free competition in commerce, the United States has power to protect such com-, merce. 1 Three Important Questions. In the contest regarding the answer to the question of "What is 'restraint of trade or commerce?" the first dis pute is over the interpretation of "re straint of trade" as equivalent to "the absence of free competition." The gov ernment advances the theory that re duction of competition means a re straint on trade and consequently high er prices. The corporations urge that a combination of producers may mean a reduction of expenses and consequent ly lower prices. The government -further contends that the Sherman anti-trust law re fers only to such restraints as are di rect and material. One judge in pass ing on the tobacco case in the cir suit court held that the law referred to every restraint without regard to directness of materiality. It is said that this doctrine would stifle legitimate business. The defendant organizations do not press this argument so much, because they claim in their cases that no direct and material restraint of commerce exists. This claim is based, upon the argument that they are en gaged principally, not in interstate com merce as were the railroads in the Northern Securities case, but in the manufacture of. goods, which may go Into interstate commerce later. The third division of the contest is over the interpretation of the word "monopolize." The Standard Oil is part.cularly concerned with this phase of the controversy, because the lower court found that it was attempting to monopolize. Attorneys for the com pany advance the argument that under the law it could legally acquire the trade of the world in an. article pro vided it did nothing to prevent others from competing with it. They declare the Standard Oil has done nothing to prevent otners Irom competing. Sue cess has come to It, so they claim, be cause of "untiring energy, infinite skill, abundant capital and steady re investment of early pronts." The gov ernment has piled up volume on vol ume to sppport its contention that suc cess was achieved by unfair competi tion. The corporation tax cases, eighteen in all, involve entirely different argu ments. The corporation tax provisions of the Payne-Aldrich tariff act provide for "a special excise tax with respert to the carrying on or doing business by cornnrstionR. "equivalent to 1 per 1L. On account of being unable to get a. lease at a reasonable, figure, we have concluded to close out our entire stock of Furniture, Pianos, and Store Fixtures. We will close out all of our Furniture at practically cost. Our entire Piano stock of about 50, comprising some of the best known makes, must go. We will make liberal terms on PIANOS.

Each of the cases was originated in various circuit courts by persons finan cially interested in the tax not being paid. These persons asked the courts to enjoin the payment of the tax by respective corporations because the tax was unconstitutional. The validity of the tax was upheld in each case. The law is opposed principally on the grounds that it attacks the sov ereignty of the states by taxing state franchises; that it invades the right to due process of law by levying a tax on classes fixed arbitrarily; and that it is a direct tax not apportioned among the states, as required by the constitu tion. MORE COPPER USED. And a Falling Off in the Output Dur ing 1910. Washington, Jan. 2. The United States geological survey today made public figures on the 1910 production of copper, lead, zinc and tin in the United States. The copper output falls considerably short of the 1909 produc tion, but is shown to be above any prevlous year. The 1910 figures for blister and lake copper are 1,079,000, 000 pounds, against 1,092,951,624 pounds in 1909. The consumption of copper in the United States was the largest on record, reaching 700,000,000 pounds. Exports were also about 700.000,000 pounds. For 1910 Arizona again takes the lead among the copper producing states and territories. The lead smelting Industry had a busy year, the totaj output exceeding that "of 1 9 6 9"rf' a.

Missouri retained first place, among 4he lead producing The total production, of zinc in the United States in 1910 broke all records, totaling -267,423 tons, worth at the average price $28,881,584, an compared with 255,760 tons in 1909. There was a strong demand for Tungsten ore throughout -the year and the production rose to- 1,824 short tons, valued at $832,992" RAID A DEPOT.

The tables compiled by the census bureau for the use of congress in enacting a reappor tionment law came from the printer today. The house census committee will hold a meeting next Friday, the day after congress reconvenes to start the ball rolling, the present determi nation being to put the legislation through at this session. The reapportionment will not de crease the present representation now had by any state. In order to do this the census bureau figures that the total membership must be raised from 391 to 440. As prepared by the census bureau the table showing the apportionment under a 434 basis makes Iowa and Maine lose one representative each. A way may be devised, however, to fix the size of the house at 434 and allow these states to retain their pres ent representation, through altering the number of population per repre sentative slightly, and clipping off two representatives from other states with minor fractions of population remain ing after the total has been divided by the set basis.

The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganisation for the exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka. The news is received in The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. Chase county's affairs apcear to be in especially safe hands. The great majority of the officeholders are either larmerj or women. Another indication that practice makes perfect: Commissioner Bone is not having much difficulty this time in capturing the buffaloes. If the men on the American battle ships are like the majority of land lubbers, they will be more interested in the bacon than in the gold which is being carried to them on a supply chip. After a distressing halt for a couple of days, the world can now proceed as usual. The grand opera scores in the New York Metropolitan opera house $10,000 prize competition, which, were stolen, have been returned. Miss Neale S. Knowles, of the fac ulty of the Iowa State Agricultural college, is quite right in declaring that clothes do not make the man. It has been a recognized fact for these many years that it takes nine tailors to' do the Job. Now that Mr. Yoakum, the railroad magnate, has had such a terrifying ex perience in hunting Texas "Javelins," it is likely that most of the mighty hunters in the great Southwest will be more content than ever to confine their operations to rabbits. Apparently there was not as much sentiment as business concerned in the location of the new state's capi tal at Oklahoma City. Governor Has kell would not sign the bill to this end until the people of that town had dug deep in their Jeans for nearly an other $100. 000 for the capital fund. An innocent man is reported to be in prison in Utah. Instances of this sort come to the front iot infrequent ly. They are exceedingly regrettable. It is also well within the truth to say that there are many guilty men outside of prisons who ought to be in them. Likewise ia this regrettable. A rooster that "mothers" little chicks is styled as one of the "freaks" that will be exhibited at the coming Topeka poultry show. This may not be a freakish tendency, but a neces sary service. Perhaps the hen of the family is a militant suffragette or a member of a dozen or more feminine jy The almost crying need for length-: ling the terms of state officers In JLnsas to four years is made appar- t hv the Dresent activity In grooming ndidates for the Republican guber natorial honors of two years hence. :nder the present conditions the po litical pot never ceases to boil in Kansas. Miss Eleonora Sears of Beacon street. Boston, Mass., must be up and doing If she is to hold her own with the notoriety seekers. Frank Ootch has returned to the wrestling game. Jack Johnson has agreed to fight the win ner of the Langford-Jeannette battle And they'll be well to the center of the stage from now on. Peru and Ecduador have been ad vised by other and more powerful nations who acted as mediators to take their boundary dispute to The Hague for a final settlement. The ad visory powers which have acted in this case, and all other nations should act in like fashion when disputes arise between them. Nations, however, are like men. They seldom practice what they preach. President Lowell of Harvard univer sity has undoubtedly made himself ex ceedingly unpopular with many of -the college boys of more or less promi nence. He holds to the idea that of all the processes of expressing emo tions, organized cheering is from every viewpoint the worst. Some fellows would never be heard of at college if it were not for their leathery lungs and their ability to lead the cheering at the big athletic contests. Once a prophet, always a prophet. Colonel George Harvey of Harper's "Weekly, who astonished the world with the correctness of his predictions as to the results of the last election, insists that the name of the next United States senator from New York will begin with the letters S-h-e. And inasmuch as Mr. Shcpard and Mr. Sheehan are the opposing candidates for this honor, it, is reasonably certain that colonel Harvey's most recent political prophecy is within the realm fact. GOOD ROADS. One of the subjects that ought to be given considerable attention f at the coming session of the Kansas legisla ture concerns the building of good roads. Existing laws in the premises seem to have developed a rather chaotic condition of affairs. They are so many and varied that a county or a community which has a mind to go in for road improvement scarcely knows where to begin. And not a little fault is being found with one or more of these laws by Interested par ties. Where they have been tried it has been discovered that the expense is much larger than that which main tained under the old laws, and the results are far from being corre spondingly greater. Certain it is that the prosperity of Kansas will be increased materially if there is a general improvement of the roads. Nor does it seem possible that this can be brought about until general and comprehensive legislation has been enacted. It is all very well for the legislature to pass all kinds of permissive legislation which wili au thorize a county to build almost any kind of a road that it sees fit. But such legislation is not going to equip the state in the way it should be with good roads. An essential need is the creation of a bona fide state engineering depart ment, with a responsible head who will be adequately paid. This department should have the necessary authority to devise a good roads program for the state which will be uniform and ef fective. And state funds might well be applied as an aid in the construc tion of a state system of good roads that will be of advantage not to the people of any community but to the people of the entire state. This is the plan which has been fol lowed in almost every state where something real has been accomplished in the way of road improvement. There is a righteous demand on the part of the taxpayers of Kansas that the state expenditures be kept within reasonable limits. No good reason exists why this should not be done and a goodly sum of money be ex pended by the state each year to help In the construction of roads which will be worth .while. If such a system were followed, it would not be many years before Kansas would have a network of good roads that would be of immense value to the state and all of its component parts. RUINED BY WOMEN. Under the above heading the Sat urday Evening Post, in its issue of last week, had a few words to eay that will not be particularly palatable for many men to swallow because they are the bitter truth. They follow: 'Blaming the women has been a popular masculine consolation since Adam's time. 'I was ruined by women,' said a male citizen some time ago as he was about to leave for the peniten tiary. He meant that he left his home and stole his bank's money to riot with females, a majority of whom would have been quietly at work in some productive occupation if economic conditions that are made exclusively by men had given them a fair chance. Nearly all of them were merely stu pid, passive straws borne along by whatever current in a man-run world happened to catch them. If they had n't been of that sort they wouldn't have been rioting. "Probably four-fifths of the initia tive and of effective power are in the hands of men. This is true of society and- of most individual cases. If the modern well-to-do woman ia more or namental than useful it ia because that Btatus was fixed for her by her father and husband. Men deplore that women brought up in easy cir cumstances consume much and pro duce little. Many of the men who de plore it loudest would perish of cha grin if the neighbors should know that their own wives were doing the family washing to save expense. Among the well-to-do, the wife is the token of the husband's gentility. He bemoans the cost, but is secretly de lighted to be the husband of a 'lady' "We write this in the interests of conservation. A prodigious amount of thought that might produce good social steam wastes itself in mere va por over the ruin wrought by women. We do not recall a single case, from Adam and Samson down, where a man really up to his job was ruined by a woman." BRITISH LABOR AGREEMENTS. With so much unrest in the world of labor in this country, it is interest ing to learn that a system of solving labor troubles is being evolved in Great Britain, which is working out with considerable success. In a recent issue of the Daily Consular and Trade Reports, Augustus E. Ingram, United States consul at Bradford, Eng., writes in part as follows: The labor department of the British board of trade has just issued a report untitled "Collective agreements be tween employers and work people in the United Kingdom," and the import ance of the subject is snown Dy tne fact that' 1,666 such agreements, af fecting directly 2,400,000 work people, sni now In force. Of these agree ments. 30 are sliding scales. 563 are piece price lists and 1.103 are work ing agreements. In many cases the agreements are connected with perma nent conciliation boards and joint committees in the various trades, of which there are at present 262, also 1 1 Harriet boards, which afford general mediation and are not confined to any particular trade, and two boards rhrB work is restricted to questions affecting employees of co-operative so cieties. As stated in a government re port, the functions of these concilia hoards vary considerably, but their real value depend on preventing stoppages of work ratner man on set nr,. strikes or lockouts which may have already taken place. Of the 7,508 cases settled by conciliation boards in the ten years. 1900-1910, only 104 (or about 1 per cent) were preceded by a stoppage of work, snmn of the agreements contain many details and provisions not only as to wage rates and hours of labor, but also as to the number to be em ployed in specified tasks, distribution of work in slack times, enticing away workmen, condition under which youthful labor shall be employed, con ciliation and arbitration. All agree ments are fully explained in the re port, their meaning and effect being also reviewed. While these collective agreements are undoubtedly beneficial to work people, by aidln? stability in wages and hours, they are also of equal if not greater benefit to employ-' ers. For the wide prevalence of these arrangements in the most Important industries "Must have an Important Influence on industrial enterprise, for when the level of wages, the length of the work ing day and other principal conditions of employment are regulated for spe cific periods the employers concerned must be enabled to calculate with precision that part of cost of produc tion represented by labor. Further, when these agreements bind the whole or a large proportion of the firms en gaged in a given trade, the danger of undercutting by rivals who find it pos sible to obtain labor at a lower price is materially reduced." This government report on collective agreements is said by one Journal to be more than interesting, almost epoch making, while another technical jour nal says that, as the publication con tains a full explanation of all the agreements, with a general review of their meaning and effect, it would be most useful to employers as a work of reference and Instruction. JOURNAL ENTRIES If you don't call a spade a spade you're apt to get into trouble in a card game. Some of the new resolutions of yes terday are already nothing more than pleasant memories. Any number of married men don't amount to any more because their wives had such poor material to work over. The most disagreeable period of the winter holiday season has arrived thr time when bills come due for most of the Christmas presents. If many men were paid wages that represented only what their services are actually worth, they wouldn't be getting nearly as large pay as they do. JAYHAWKER JOTS One of the social organizations com prised of young folks at Olathe is called "The Kandy Kids." Nuff sed. Nothing could be more appropriate than that Mr. and Mrs. Fish should live in Upper Clark's Creek, Geary county. A household hint from the Rossville Reporter: "Don't try the patience of the good wife by giving her green wood to burn." A certain Rossville man. relates the Reporter, told his wife that he had dreamed his mother-in-law fell in the well and was drowned. "Yes. you brute," his wife replied, "I heard you laughing in your sleep." Does the fact of your possessing more money than your fellow citizen. give you the privilege of breaking laws tnat were made for all? asks the Quinter Advocate and it answers: If so we do not see it. Secretary Meyers doesn't expect any war in nis utetime, notes the Hal stead Independent, and it adds: But he would like a whole lot of money tor tne navy department for use in case it should rain or anything like tnat. A Sedan news story states that the town marshal was after a fugitive rrom justice the other day and find ing that he had left fifteen minutes before on the Missouri Pacific foflew- ed down the track and caught the train when It was about a mile out of town. While the story does not state it is presumed that the reason it took him so long to catch the Missouri Pa cific was that he had a wooden leg or else was all crippled up with rheu matism. Marion Record. As it struck the Cimarron Jackson ian: Col. Abe Slupsky, of St. Louis, broke the world's record by drinking twenty pints of beer every day for a month. His name will go thundering down the ages with those of Socrates. Shakespeare and Beethoven and other immortals, and every time his name is mentioned a thrill of pride will chase itself up and down the spine of every patriotic American citizen who rejoices in the superiority, the intel lectual advancement of the human race, the triumph of mind over mat ter. Down with King Alcohol, down with beer, shouts the Hon. Abe, and aown they go twenty pints! Col, Slupsky has achieved undying fame, and the first honor thrust upon him was a banquet given by Prof. An heuser. Dr. Busch, and other noted scholars and statesmen. Who cares for paltry brain capacity when we can boast of such giants as Slupsky to upnoia tne nonor or tne race? All hail Slupsky, the Human Tank! GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. Dinner is never ready early enough for a man with a big appetite. About the only people who are real ly prosperous now are the officehold ers. Only occasionally do you find a genius, and a genius is a genius only occasionally. One discouraging thing about Sci ence is that it will testify on either side for money. We hear some comlaint of dullness. But think how much worse it is in Texas. As a matter of fact, there is no boom anywhere now. What has become of the old fash ioned woman who said to her son: "Come in and change your under clothes before they rot off of you." There is one thing to the credit of the people: they are always tryine to do better: we never heard of a man resolving to be worse during the New Year. Children usually have better man ners than their parents; children have their parents to switch them, when thev fail to be polite, but who cor rects the parents for lack of polite ness? We once knew a man Who was -very polite and very gentle; he was highly educated, and a man of the most ex cellent morals. Yet he was the most tiresome man we ever met, and, so far as we ever heard, he never accom plished anything of the slightest value to himself or anyone eisa. KANSAS COMMENT WHICH? We suppose there comes the time in every boy or girl's life that it re quires about all the charity that you can muster to keep from doing them violence. At the football game the other day, two girl chums stood by chewing gum. One of them said, "Say, Kid, let's go over to the other side." The other said, "Can't do it. Kid." "Ah, come on. Kid," urged the first. "No, Kid, let's stay here." "Oh, Kid," urged both together. Now it is altogether likely that they will re cover and sprout an intellect in later years. At least, they can be expected to outgrow part of Jt, but the average leuow reels like a session in the wood shed with a bed slat would really be of more educational value to a girl like that than a dozen lessons In Del- sarte. Colby Free Press WORK FOR THE FOOL KILLER. When Hattie LeBlanc was acquit ted she received bushel of mail. Some of the letters were from theatrical managers, who wished to engage her. One of them offered her $500 a week, which probably was more than she could earn in any laundry. There were many orrers of marriage from young men who seemed to be acting in good faith. It Is possible to understand the ordinary kind of fool, but the fool who wants to marry a girl with Hattie'a record is in a class by himself, and the fact that he is numerous explains the discouraged appearance of the iooi Killer. mporia Gazette. DEMOCRATS IN REP. PRIMARIES. Here is to laugh: It is stated that 30,000 more Republicans voted at the primaries in Wisconsin than voted at the election. The fact is that 30,000 Democrats voted for LaFollette. The great bane of the Republican party is not the chasms formed by the fac tions within the party but the fact that Democrats have voted at our prima ries and have dictated our nomina tions. It is not to LaFollette's credit that he held his place by the voters of the opposite party. Lawrence Journal. v GOVERNMENT SHIPBUILDING. The navy department would aban don the construction of the battleship New York at the Brooklyn navy yard because the cost, in the judgment of the department, compares unfavorably with the cost of construction in private yards. If the department estimates are correct, and on this point there is some room for doubt, the New York would cost $7,300,000 if built by gov ernment labor, while the Texas, an other ship of the same type, can be built for $5,860,000 by the Newport News company. The difference of $1,440,000 is an argument in favor of the navy department's attitude that is bound to have weight with congress. However, there is more than the mere difference of estimates be taken into account. The question is not en tirely one of dollars and cents. Ad mitting that the cost of building the New York at the Brooklyn navy yard is precisely as much in excess of the cost of the privately built Texas as the navy department says It is, what will be the consecruence of turning the New York contract over to a private concern? A cheaper ship? Undoubt edly, but that will not be all The transfer would imply tne aennite abandonment of the principle of gov ernment construction and remove the onlv possible check upon a resumption of the big collusive practices once prevalent among private building es tablishments. Brooklyn Eagle. SQUARE DEAL IN LAW COURTS. The forms of the law courts should be revised and radically improved as the forms of political science should be improved. There are a good many lawyers and Jurists working on these reforms. But then there are changes needed which go deeper than mere procedure. The law itself as administered in the courts should conform closely to the life of the people: Hopeful examples of what is meant are given today in our courts and as auxiliary to the courts. The parole system, the juve nile courts, the free legal aid bureau, etc., denote the tendency to make the letral svstem something more than an imoassive arbiter between individuals. Reforms wnicn win Dring speeay trials and give poor persons a really, as well as nominally, equal show for justice with that which rich persons have, are vastly important. ney are the first step, too. But the same square deal, progressive spirit that is molding legislation and execution of laws must also be ingrained into our jurisprudence. Kansas City Star. WOMAN SHOULD APPRECIATE. Sir Augustine Birrell, British states man and eentleman, deserves well at the hands of the suffragettes. For he publishes a statement that, in the dis turbances in London, no representative of the militant seekers for suffrage either struck or kicked him. True, he admits that nis nose was in jured during the scrimmage. But that was his own fault. He stumbled in en tering his carriage hastily. He does not svjgest whether the attitude ana ac tions of the' suffragettes had any in fluence In producing his haste. However, the knightly representative of British gallantry defends the women like a gentleman. The suffragettes ought to give a pink tea In his honor and present him some new sort of decoration, as the unstruck and un kicked witness of their doings. Chi cago Journal. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. The 1911 calendar crop is now ripe. Old Diogenes did his muck-raking with a lantern. Wise is the man who learns a lesson from each failure. Perhaps you think you know it all, but can you prove it' Some men look upon a high ball as an antidote for low spirits. About the first of the year many a bank account loses its balance Speaking of bad examples, a school boy says his arithmetic is full of 'em. The love a man had for his first wif seldom prevents him from marryins again. The average man would rather loso $50 on a horse race than pay $5 for taxes. Why? It is only a matter of time until some chap will discover a way to renature denatured alcohol. The man who boasts of his wisdom is sure to see the reflection of a fool every time he happens to lok In a mirror. The winter of a man's discontent ar rives when he begins to realize that it is more blessed to give than to receive the resulting, bills. i It II A&-tnfli III FRVM flZUJ M IF I WERE YOB.

Carlton, coming into the hotel from the windswept night, was dazzled by the brightness. "What's going on?" he asked the clerk. "There's to be a dance in the din ing room," the clerk said. "It is such beastly weather outside that the young folks thought up this way of spending the evening. You'd better dress and come down, he continued, with a glance at Carlton's corduroys. Carlton shook his head. "I don't care much for that sort of thing," he stated. "I've had so much of it all my life." He tramped away to the smoking room, where he read the papers with the strains of the dance music beating in his ears On his way upstairs he stopped on a landing which led to a balcony which overlooked the dining room. Heavy red velvet curtains were draped back on each side of the en trance, and there were three or four deep velvet chairs drawn back from the railing. In one of these chairs, crumpled up and crying was a girl. Carlton couldn't see her face but there was a brightness about her hair and a grace in her relaxed figure which piqued his curiosity, so he stood very still, waiting. Presently the girl stopped crying and sat up and saw him. "Oh!" she said, involuntarily. "Is there anything I can do, Miss Wharton?" Carlton's quiet manner took away from his offer any hint of Imperti nence. You seem to be in trouble. The girl stood up. "Oh, no." she said, with some decision. "It was silly of me to cry." Then as his eyes still questioned, she flashed out her grievance: "Does a man ever know what it means to a woman to be a wall flow er Carlton looked at he" incredulously. "Surely you haven't had such an ex perience?" MYes,,r have," she said. "I sat out three dances, and then I came up here; it was to-o humiliating to be seen alone." "But why?" he demanded. "I know you dance well, I saw you the other night. And as lor beauty, well, any thing I could say on that subject would be superfluous. Miss Whar ton. "But I'm not young any more." Her hands were clasped tightly. "Don't you see those boys down there like the youth of the younger girls, and I m not used to being set aside; I've al ways been first." "But you're young," he said incred ulously. "Why are you calling your self old?" "Because I feel old. I can't joke and chatter as I did a few years ago, yet it isn't easy to give up my place to the vounger girls." He sat down in one of the big chairs beside her. He had talked with her before at the table and now and then on the porches when the storms of the early spring abated a little and made out of doors possible. She had always seemed reserved, and this outpouring came as a surprise. She seemed to feel that she had said too much, and she apologized. "If you hadn't aught me crying, I should not have said a word; it must seem very silly to you. "No. it doesn't," he said. "Perhaps men don't feel as much the loss of youthful prerogatives, but when I go to our alumni meetings at college, and the younger fellows show plainly that they look upon me as a back number, I have a little of the feeling which now ODoresses you." "It's dreadful to grow old," she said. He shook his head and smiled. "No. I love life better than I did when I was younger. Tonight I've been out in the wind, walking up the beach, and felt strong enough to conquer the world. Even in my most sanguine boyhood days I never knew the same sense of absolute belief in my ability to make things come my way." "But you're a man." she said, "A woman when she loses her first youth and beauty must be content to be a wall flower." "Come out," he said impulsively, "and walk with me up the beach. It is glorious out; the wind is blowing, and you'll feel as if the world was miles away, and that the people in it were of little account in the sum of human happiness." The moon shone between the rag ged clouds, as, wrapped in a red cloak, she w :nt with him on their wild walk. "It's glorious," she confessed, "and I don't care tonight if I am poor and a wall flower, but in the morning there will be the awakening." "I am poor, too," he said, "but for me there will be no awakening, be cause all my life I've had riches, and an my life I've been bored. The week before I came down here I learned that I had lost everything. Every body thought that the blow would be crushing, but I have been surprised to find that I do not care." "But you will care." she said, and have learned of how little account and have learend of how little account you are to people." "What do I care for people?" was his Question. "You will care just as I dll tonight," she said. "When you find that you are of little account, it will hurt you, He turned to her. "Do you think I could ever be of little account?" he asked. I don t say this with con ceit. but I know that I have found my self, and that henceforth I shall make the world listen." "Oh." she breathed, "if one could feel like that!" 1 "On mwt Xeel like that," li said. "to live and conquer. Shall we test it Tomorrow night pnt on your prettiest gown and go into the dance expecting to be a belle, not a wall flower, and see the result." "That wouldn't make a bit of dif ference." she protested it will make a difference," ne said. "Try It." The next night ha saw her In the midst of a group of men. Her head was up and her eyes were shining. You see it worked." he said, as he came up to claim a dance. "It was the funniest thing," sne confessed. "Before I came down stairs I smiled at myself in the glass and whispered over and over again that I was young and happy, and gradually I came to feel that 1 was happy, and I came down to the dance tonight without a fear. It seemed as if I created a different atmosphere. Do you believe in such things? Of course you do, or you wouldn't have advised It last night." "I knew you were underestimating your own charms," he told her. "You ran away upstairs to the balcony be fore people had half a chance to see you." "After all," she said quickly, "what Is it worth, what do I really care what they think of me?" He looked down at her wwn a new light in his eves. "What do we care for any one except ourselves? What I think of you, and what you think of me; that is the important ques tion. Isn't It?" After a while he took her up to tne balcony where they could be alone. "If I had my money," he saia, "I a ask you to marry me." "If you had your money, sne saia, I wouldn't let vou ask me. I'm not fitted to be the wife of a rich man." Below them the dancers whirled to the rhvthm of the music. Outside the wind sang a wild song, but they had no ears for the music within or that without. They were listening to the sontr of their own hearts, wnicn torn of the love that laughs at obstacles. (Copyrighted 1911 by Associated Lit erary Press.) Rural Nursing Work. On Christmas eve. eleven years ago, a former Wellesley president who had gone to her camp up in the windswept mountains of North Carolina was stricken with typhoid. She sent to Philadelphia for a trained nurse. Miss Lydia Holman responded and nursed the patiert through successfully; but thj nurse had noticed the mountaineers of the -neighborhood passing the door of the camp, and one or two of them came to her for the treatment of minor ill. She grew very much interested in these neighbors, but when she found that she wa3 actually doing the work of a doctor for them rather than a nurse she became frightened, and as soon as her original patient was well she came back to settlement work on the East side of this city. "But all the time that I was here," says Miss Holman, "I felt that I was running away from my true work. I heard the call of the cabin folk, and soon I was down there again, acting as physician, nurse, and housekeeper for what some one has called 'our belated ancestors,' for all those people are de scendants of the original settlers of this country, you know." Miss Holman told a small gathering of interested persons at the home of Mrs. Edward Ringwood Hewitt at 12T East Twenty-first street, of her single handed fight against filth and disease in one of the worst counties in Amer ica, according to her own statement, as far as the prevalence of crime goes. "Mitchell county, N. C, is as bad as any place well could be," said the little nurse, "and I told the folks there that when I came north to plead for them I would say so very frankly, but just the same, in all the ten years In which I have ridden up and down that coun try, I have never been treated .with anything but kindness." Then when it looked as if the fight would have to die out for lack of am munition, Mrs. Joseph Colt Bloodgood, of Baltimore, who formerly was Miss Winifred Holt, and Dr. William H. Welch organized the Holman associa tion, which for its purposes has the promotion of rural nursing, hygiene, and social service all over the country. New York Sun. The Price of Art.

l: i V I Kansas City, Jan. 2. A special dis patch from New York says representa tive nf the McKlnlpv syndicate, head ed hv Cnneressman William McKinley, of Illinois, are to be in Kansas City this week to close a deal for the purchase of the Leavenworth trolley line. Conway F. Holme3, president of the line, dis claimed any knowledge of negotiations along that project. 'I know that the McKinley crowd nave bought the St. Joseph and Atch ison local street car systems and we unlit them our Toneka system early the year. I had heard they were after other DrODerties In the west, but there !s nothing, so far as I know, In this re port that they are after the Leaven worth line, of which company I am president and manager. I would know 5f such negotiations had been going on." Owns Chicago to St. Louis Line. The McKinley syndicate is a -com pany of vast operations. It owns a through line running between Chicago and St. Louis, and Mr. Mcto-imey is president of six important electric light and nower companies. It is not sup- nnserl bv local authorities that his syn dicate would buy up such minor, plants as that in St. Joseph, the one in Atcn lson, only 20 miles long, and the but little lamer linn in Topeka, without havintr an ulterior purpose. The information from New York is to th effect that the McKinley crowd have bought up the terminals men tioned for the purpose of coupling them up with Kansas City, making them in terurbans. A connecting line is to be built between St. Joseph and Leaven worth, so that, with the Leavenworth trolley line already built, the upriver towns will all be connected with Kan sas City. Line raying Bis Profits. The Leavenworth line is paying big profits lately. Its dividends are small for the reason that the present man agement has been putting undivided profits into the plant. When the Holmeses took the line over eight years ago it was a financial wredk, running In a haphazard way and losing money every day. Improved times and up to date man agement built up travel so that two years ago the company was strong enough to spend "$10,000 a minute," meaning that in order to shorten up it3 running time nine minutes it was able to set aside $90,000 for construction work. NEW DIVORCE MECCA. Kansas City Has One Decree to Itmr Marriage. Licenses. Kansas City, Jan. 2. The federal census figures show one divorce for every four marriage licenses granted in Kansas City, as against ratios of one to eight in Kansas and Missouri and one to twelve in the United States. These figures have called forth a statement from E. E. Porterfield, judge of the Juvenile court, as to the cause contributing to this condition of affairs. "The federal census record of one divorce for every four marriages censes issued in Kansas City is a bad showing," said Judge Porterfield. "It means something is wrong. I know and the other judges know where the trouble lies. First, the laws of the state are too lax; second, too many divorces are granted to persons who come here and establish a residence solely for the purpose of obtaining a divorce. "A large percentage of the divorces granted in Kansas City and other cities In Missouri are to persons who have separated from husbands or wives in other states. "That is not the fault of the ciurts. Judges enforce the law as they find it on the statute books. The way to remedy the evil is to change the law. A person coming here from another state to establish a residence and ob tain a divorce, leaves a trunk in a room and calls it home and departs to await the expiration of the required year. "To remedy this condition, which is becoming graver every year, the law should be clianged at the coming ses sion of the legislature. If it is not we will be placed in a worscjight than Reno. They are tightening up a little now in Reno, so only Missouri will be left." Advertisements, especially those of a personal nature, are not always charac terized by a nense of proportion. One re cently printed in the Manchester Guardian reads as follows: "Willie, run to vour distracted wife and frantic children. lo j during v y i.l nam iu ciu. .7 v. -j wiu iiiuiner S suicide? You will if you do not let us know where you are. Anyway, send back your father's colored meerschaum." (SrapeNu ts FOOD Is the product of A food expert. It meets the body's Requirements for thoSe Essential elements Which provide true Nourishment. here's a Reason" Postum Cereal Co., Ltd. Battle Creek, Mich. Washington. Jan. 2. General W. H. Sears, of Lawrence, Kan., one-time prl- i vate secretary to Senator W. A. Harris, and before that in Command of the Kansas national guard, and at an i earlier period confidential clerk of Gov- j ernor Charles Robinson, at Haskell j institute, and until recently the private j secretary and field agent of Miss Clara j Btirton, president of the American Na- i tional Red Cross, is here on legal busi- ness and attending to important mat ters before congress. General Sears is a great friend of the University of Kansas, and was instru mental in obtaining appropriations from the Kansas legislature for several of the finest buildings, in the days when appropriations were hard to get. j General Sears is a graduate of this in- j stitution, and is deeply Interested in its growing importance in the educational field. But the general believes that its i greatest efficiency and highest mission can only be reached by abolishing all I fees and making it a free institution, i In discussing this question or a j?Tee University vs. a Fee University, the general said: Under the caption. -Jiaucation ior All," the Garden City (Kan.) Telegram, as quoted by the Topeka State Journal, says that the extension department of the University of Kansas, has demon strated its ability to carry the univer sity to those people in the state who are unable to go to Lawrence, or who could i not conform to the entrance requirements. The extension department is doin- a valuable work and should be encour aged and supported by liberal appro priations. But it is much better to bring the student to the university i man to try to carry tne university to tin student. Fees Keep Students Away. Most of the young men and women of the state, who desire a university education, would come to the Univer sity of Kansas if the exorbitant fees now charged at this institution were abolished. 'Huxley said that education should be free from the gutter to the univer sity. A free education is provided !n the common schools of the state; the high schools are free to those who are so fortunate as to live in a high school district; the normal schools are free and the agricultural college is free; but the fees charged at the State univer sity are so large as to exclude most of the poor boys and girls of the state.- 'It is safe to say that the major part of the taxes levied for the support of the university are paid by the people of the state who are too poor to send their children to the university and pay t excessive fees charged. So these small taxpayers are helping to support the institution for the benefit of the well-to-do and wealthy. The safety, stability and security of republican institutions depend upon the education of the masses; and no good citizen should object to being taxed for so beneficent a purpose. For nine years the University of Kansas was free to the sons and daughters of the people of the state, in all its departments, except labora tory fees and a graduation or diploma fee of $5. Refers to Fee System Bill. "When a bill providing for a fee sys tem was pending before the ways and means committee of the state senate, Senator L. P. King, of Cowley county, speaking in opposition to the bill said: am opposed to this bill. I favor a from the bottom to the top. Small as I M my taxes are I would gladly pay SI a H year more for the sake of a free uni versity for the poor boys and girls of the state.' The bill was defeated and it was nine years before the present fee bill was passed. 'During the years when the univer sity was free it was an easy matter for poor students to work their way through school, and most of them were able to earn enough during vacation to pay their way for the school year. A free university attracted many poor students. Many stories could be told of how a university education was ob tained by poor boys in the days when the institution was practically free, or when the tees were light. One of these stories will suffice. 'Two boys entered the university at Lawrence from the farms of Jefferson county. They rented a room at SI a month and brought their furniture from home. They cooked, ate. sleDt and studied in this room for, five years, and j it never cost them to exceed S5 per i month for living expences during all this time. And they earned this money j vacation by working on the farms of Jefferson county. Dlowine corn. binding wheat, pitching hay and work ing about the threshing machines. The money they earned then would scarce ly pay for the fees charged now. "Especially should all laboratory fees be abolished. Many a poor boy is di verted from taking a scientific course because of these excessive fees and is led to ipursue some light modern litera ture course, where the fees are less, and thus a possible Davy. Faraday, or an Edison is lost to the world; and such a loss cannot be measured in dollars and cents. "On this question of Free Schools vs. Fee Schools, every" small taxpayer, ev ery poor man in Kansas should line up for a free university education for the poor children of the state; and never vote for a candidate for the legisla ture unless he pledges himself to work and vote for the abolition of all fees at the University of Kansas." General Sears proposes to offer a cash prize of $100 to the students of the Uni versity of Kansas, in any department, who will write the best thesis on the subject of a Free State University. for Choice of Hart, Schaffner Marx uits- and Overcoats Sold As High As $25 and $2S a Piece!

It V. Has Held His Position Thirteen Years. Leavenworth. Kan., Jan. 2. George l. Crandall, tor more than forty years a railroad man and now general auditor for th T.pflv.r-nrth i." western Railroad, was retired same year, I returned to the Union by the Union Pacific Railroad com pany on a pension yesterday. His suc cessor, F. D. Dale, arrived in the city from Omaha a few days ago. imme diately following his appointment. When Mr. Crandall leaves Leaven worth, the oldest railroad man in point of successive years of service and in age, will go. Mr. Crandall on De cember 31 completed forty-two years, nine months and twenty-one days of active service and In that time he never has lost one day's compensa tion from his pay roll, either by sick ness or otherwise, although he changed from one road to another. His work with one road was completed one day and started with the other the suc ceeding day. "I began railroading with the Union Pacific railroad on March 10, 186S," Mr. Crandall said, "and vas then in the auditor's office at Omaha. I left the Union Pacific July 1, 1871. for the Sioux City Pacific Railroad company to be their auditor at Cedar Rapids. My work with them lasted until Feb ruary 29, 1880, and on March 1 of the Pacific as clerk in the auditor's office at Omaha. In February. 1898, I was appointed general traveHnc auditor and since have held that place." Mr. Crandal! was born near Sara toga Springs, X. Y., on May 29, 1840. He went to Lyons, la. on first com ing West In April, 18 5 8. When he en tered the employ of the Union Pa cific railroad in 1868, the road extend ed only to Cheyenne, Wyo. In March, 1859, the last spike was driven at Promontory. Utah. At that time Omaha was the eastern point of the road and was so. until Kansas City t was acquired through the purchase of the Kansas Pacific road when it went into the hands of the receivers. At Promontory, the road then made con- nections with the Central Pacific which now is a part of the Southern Pacific. Mr. Crandall left Saturday for the general offices at Omaha, and from there he will go to Denver and Boul der, Colo. He and his daughter, in all probability, will make one of the last named places their permanent home. 1 i "ir:- J 1 x DR.

Burling Tucker, a Californian, who is prominent in this country, went through a hair-raising ordeal sit Minaca recently. A squad of half drunken revolutionists accused him of being a spy and he was saved from be ing executed only by the devotion of a German storekeeper named Junk. Four times Tucker was stood up to be shot and as many times Junk, by the most vehement protestations, secured delays and finally saved his friend's life. Junk was asked if he would stake his own life in guaranteeing the neutrality of Tucker. "If we ever catch him doing any thing that- looks like assisting the gov ernment we will line you up with him and shoot you both,'" said the insur rectos. "Do you agree?" Junk was asked. "I guarantee him with my life," re plied the German and the shooting party was postponed indefinitely. At Gerrero two days ago the former mayor under the government reginrv; was executed at the orders of the new revolutionary mayor. The latter is al leged to have thus satisfied an old grudge. The man bringing the above add? that there are three bands of revolu tionists, numbering about 200 or 2r0 each, operating under the three prin cipal leaders and that there are a num ber of small bands owning to no cen tral leadership, galloping about the country in independent, semibandit fashion, in fact, the three principal bands are but loosely bound together, he says. He brought word that native bands had deserted the mines and lumber camps in large numbers and that many Americans and other foreigners, not ing the disorder around them and in ignorance of the progress being made by government troops, are making their way on horseback to the Rio Grande. In one big lumber camp, owned by Americans, everyone, including Ameri cans, are said to have deserted in fear of their lives, leaving $50000 worth of supplies unguarded. Three cars of wounded which ar rived here from Pedernales last night are the first to come in for three weeks. The train started With forty one wounded, including two officers. One died on the way in.. With few exceptions, these received their injuries weeks ago and had been in Navarro's field hospital since, the railroad being torn up through Mai Paso, immediate ly east of Navarro's camp at Peder nales. The wounded in recent skirm ishing were said to be only a handful. In every essential particular-the guard which brought in the train confirms official reports with certain additions of interest but of no particular im portance politically The move of the reinforcements which formed junction with Navarro began last Sunday and was accom plished the following Tuesday. At no time did the federals sight the enemy in force. Every day they fired at long distances at. some small detachment, but usually without results. On Wednesday, when the work of clearing Mai Paso was begun in earnest, a small body of insurrectionists contest ed the way for a few hours, killing and wounding about twenty of the fed erals. Their own loss in killed and wounded was estimated at less, than this, but the government estimates the insurrecto loss in killed and wounded in the neighborhood of forty. In any event. General Luque occupied the pass as officially reported and request ed a repa-ir train. This train repaired track, but not the telegraph wires, through Mai Paso and entered Peder nales. There the wounded were placed on board. Some were too ill to be moved and were left in the field hos pital. There have been a number of deaths among them since' the Cerro Prieto and Pedernales fight. Navarro is in supreme command of the combined forces and is now .mak ing preparations for pursuing and subduing the enemy and for the bet ter care of the wounded whom he can not safely remove from the hospital. His opposition consists in a semi- organized way of the three main bands before mentioned. He expects' oppo sition in the way of ambuscades only. The revolutionary force is insufficient in numbers and arms to give open bat tie. It is probable that the small bands, ostensibly at least, are on re cruiting and foraging duty. The whole revolutionary movement lacks a forceful leader and unless some dark hued Napoleon arises and brings pa triotic inspiration, fortitude and or ganization to them, their cause is gen erally considered to be lost. None of the present leaders have developed any such genius. Despite these facts the task ahead of Navarro is a difficult and hazardous one. He must operate as an army while the insurrectos gal Iod away from him at will to reap pear and harass him in unexpected spots in tne mils ana mountains. COULD NOT GO.

As announced in the State Journal some time ago W. G. Tandy, city com missioner, will run for re-election. All of the present commissioners have an nounced their intention of running for office again. Their first intentions were made public through these col umns several weeks ago. It was through this fact that all of the city commissioners were run nine for re-election that Mavor Bil lard came out not long ago siating that he was in favor of a four-year term for these offices.

LOCAL MENTION. Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Maxwell Wayne are spending the holiday week visiting relatives and friends in this city. Frank Hobart has filed suit in the district court to recover SI 30 a heating plant and $170 additional for damages, because, as he says, the plant wuuia not neat ine nouse and the fam ily was caused much humiliation, suf fering and expense. It is Hobarfs claim that he bought a plant of the Campbell Heating company of. Kansas City, which, when installed, was not satisfactory. He asked that the com pany refund his payment, and when this was refused he commenced action to recover not only his money, but alleged damages. Richard Crew, Roy Scott and M. Steele, who are students in Haskell in stitute, ran away from school in or der that they might spend the New Year in Topeka.

Hummason was arrested Sundaj- night on a charge of maintain ing a nuisance at her home, 232 Mon roe street. No liquor- was found when the officers raided the house and Mrs. Hummason furnished $50 bond for appearance when her case is tried in police court. The vear 1910 has been a good year on the North side, and the year 1911 has e-ood prospects. The year just closed has seen many improvements. More are scheduled tor tne comme vear. Notably, the new santa v e junc tion depot, to be built or cemeni, mis sion style. It is said that plans and snerifictitions for the building have been made and work will start on n- within a month or two. The last vear has seen the extension of the Shorev line from Morse street and North Kansas avenue to tne norm limits on North Tyler street. The next year will likely see it extended as far as the Shorev Dostomce ana possiuij on west. Talk has been made that it may reach to Silver Lake or possibly be a Manhattan-Topeka interuroan. The last vear saw the holding oi an aviation meet on the North side at the Tavlor tract, iust north of oarneia narlt. And this was secured largely through the efforts of the Civic ciud, organized last January. Tho Fairchild street pumping sta tion, throuprh the work of ex-Council man Jordan, to relieve surface water after hard rams, was installed this last year. And tne last year nai seen sev eral improvements at uarneia pars The next vear will doubtless see it made into an amusement park with all the frills and fancies delighttul to nleasure seekers.

Mattie Troy, the 300 pound negro wo man held for the murder of an adopted s&fi, escaped this morning from the asylum, where she was sent several months ago. At noon today, the woman had not been found. The Troy woman's trouble started more than a year ago when an adopted son died. The boy carried an insurance policy under which Mrs. Troy was beneficiary. After the company's pay ment of the money investigation of the boy's death was started by county of ficials and an examination showed that the young man had been poisoned. Mrs, Troy was arrested on a charge of first degree murder and while in jail de veloped a clever insanity stunt, so it is now claimed.- She refused to eat, raved and lost flesh and when she was taken to the asylum a few months ago it was predicted she would not survive the week.

Following a neighborhood' quarrel Sunday night in "Little Russia," George Kiel is in St. Francis hospital, where he may die, andr.nton Hasfield is in the county jail on a charge of assault with intent to kill. Kiel, who was se verely cut near the pit of the stomach, is in a dangerous condition.- The trouble started In a house at 5S9 saraou avenue at 1 o clock this morn ing. When several neighbors inter fered, hostilities were resumed in the street and it was in the course of the latter argument that Hasfield produced a knife and attacked Kiel. Neither of the men are able to speak English and the officers received a very poor ac count or the trouble. This morning neighbors appeared in the county attorney's office in behalf of Kiel and asked for a state warrant for Hasfield's arrest. i A patronizing young lord, was seated op posite the late James McXeill Whistler at dinner one evening.

Declares People Are Turning lrom Kepubllcan Fonn of Government. Boston. Ilass.. Jan. 2. That there has been a turning from the republi can form of government and a swing ing toward the democratic form, was the statement or Representative iu. li Madison of Kansas in a speech here before the Young Men's Republican club of Boston on Saturday night. Con tinuing, he said: "The people are drawing their gov ernment closer to themselves. They 8 re taking possession In a larger sense than ever before. Tired of so many in stances of betrayal by legislators of promises made before election, they are turning toward the initiative and referendum; wearied with the control of conventions by party bosses and great business interests, they have ob tained in a majority of the states the enactment of primary election laws. Shocked by the stories of corruption in the- election of United States sena tors by legislatures, they are demand ing that they be given the privilege of electing them by direct vote and that demand will in time be acceded to and our party should fctand as its champion. There is not a man who advocates the retention of the old sys tem who would today repeat one of the arguments advanced in the consti tutional convention for the election of senators by state legislatures. The ar guments made by the man who made the motion for their election in that manner were two: First that it would bring about a participation of the Ftate governments in the general gov ernment and, second, that it would cre ate a body of the same likeness as the British house of lords. Another ar gued that it would be a bulwark of the commercial' interests against the landed interests and another that it would be more favorable to the mon ied classes. Senators elected by the people of the states they represent would as much as today represent the states as a state and they would be brought nearer and feel a greater re sponsibility to the people whom they should represent as nearly as do the members of the house. ,No right of person or property would be endan gered by an elective senate. With the long term of service of its members and their mature years, the senate would still be a conservative and de liberate body no more influenced by popular passion than it is today." Of the necessity for reform in court procedure. Mr. Madison said: "When Hamlet summed up the ills of this life that it might be well to es cape by the route of the bare bodkin, he named aa one 'the law's delay.' It is greater here than in any other great civilized nation. We borrowed our sub stantive law and the procedure of our courts from England several hundred years ago. England has progresed in the matter'of procedure, shedding many of the old and obsolete forms and prac tices which we still retain.

I spent over twenty thousand dollars in search of health; was treated by many promi nent doctors and visited a number of watering places, but was growing worse all the time. Last summer I heard a great deal of R-tfot Juice talk and I made it my business to investi gate every reported cure. I was at last so well satisfied that I bought one dozen bottles. I had suffered so long that I felt I would not get any good out of a small amount, and as I de cided to give it a trial, I determined to. try it right. I do not know what my disease was, as every doctor diag nosed my case differently. I can only give the symptoms, and they were numerous. My appetite was good at times and at other time I had no ap petite. At times I would bloat so I could not button my vest; mucous would drop from my head down In my throat, especially in the morning; my breath was always bad; I had a burn ing sensation in my stomach most of the time: my kidneys gave me a great deal of trouble; I would ofter have to get up fifteen or twenty times during the night; I was constipated at times and at other times my bowels were too loose. I nearly always "had a dull, heavy headache. After taking half a bottle or ttooi iuicb x uuiiceu im provement. I used six bottles before I stopped. All my friends in Peoria know just how T was, and I want the world to know how I am now. I eat well and sleep well; there is not an ache or pain in my body.

Every day courts of last re sort in this country are handing down decisions reversing Judgments upon purely technical errors. All distinctions between law and equity should be abolished in our federal courts and but one form of civil action should be had. governed by a single code of procedure fashioned like those of New York and Ohio. The delays of the law are caused not by the Judges but by the system they are compelled to administer.. The technical quibbles that -defeat justice and that make a lawsuit a luxury that only the rich aii afford are bringing the courts and the law into a disrepute that all good men deplore and all good Republicans should support the presi dent in his effort to effect reforms. The Republican party is nothing if it is not progressive, it can not exist as a party of mere negation; that field ia occupied by our friends the Democrats. It must keep abreast of the times and be active in good works for the benefit of the country." PIONEER KANSAS WOMAN GONE. Mrs. Ann Spencer. W ho Came to Kan sas In 1857, Passes Away. Mrs. Ann Spencer, who died at her residence in Kansas City, Mo., January 1, 1911, at the age of 77 years, was one of the early pioneer women of Kansas. She was the widow of George W. Spencer, who came to Kansas as a free state- settler in the spring of 185$, and located at Topeka and was there after a resident of Shawnee county until his death in 1881. Mrs. Spencer came to Kansas in the spring of 1857. The first years of her life in Kansas, including 1860, the year of the drouth, were spent on the farm pre-empted by her husband about six miles south of the city on the Burlingame road. During the Civil war she lived most of the time at the family residence at the southwest corner of Sixth and Qulncy streets, and was living there at the time of- the Quantrell raid on Lawrence. Alone with her children she experienced the terrors of the night following the raid when it was reported that Quantrell was on his way to Topeka. For several years after 1868 she lived on the farm about seven miles east of Topeka on which Spencer sta-j nun on ins eania j? e railroad is lo cated. This station was named for her husband. Thereafter she lived in this city until 1897, and since then in New Mexico and more recently and up to the time of her death in Kansas City. She was the mother of eleven chil dren and among those now surviving are Miss Ella Spencer, Miss Bertha Spencer and Mrs. Amy McFarland of Kansas City, Mrs. F. A. Randlett of Ottawa, Kansas, and Mr. Charles F. Spencer of this city. Throughout her whole life she dis charged faithfully and unremittingly the various duties of a daughter, wife, mother, neighbor and friend. With patience and fortitude she endured the hardships incident to the early days of Kansas. Although for many years more or less helpless from bodily infirmities and from a fall she received some years ago, she retained all her facul ties unimpaired up to the end and was always cheerful and uncomplaining. She was a woman of strong intellect and character. She will be especially remembered by those who knew her best as one who did not do unkind things and did not say unkind words to or of others. Her last years were spent In oom fort and in the enjoyment of all the attentions that loving children could bestow. She was a woman of Chris tian faith and a member of the Pres byterian church. Funeral services were held at Kan has City this afternoon and services will also be held in Topeka at the resi dence of Charles F. Spencer, 421 Clay street, at 2:30 p. m., Tuesday, January 3.

That man is truly great who can rule his mental kingdom, who at will can master his methods; who knows enough of mental chemistry to neu tralize a fit of the blues, to antidote any evil poisonous thought with the opposite thought just as. a chemist neutralizes an acid that is eating into the flesh by applying an alkaline anti dote. Orison Sweet Marden. The older I grow the more deeply I am impressed with the realization that most of us are committing the crime of lese-majesty of a very great kingdom. And this kingdom over which wo so strangely refuse to take the sceptre is the kingdom of our thought. How many of us can control our thoughts at will? And yet to what, one of us would not such a power be of inestimable value t I found an ordinarily sensible friend of mine Quite upset yesterday, and what do you think was the rea son? Bhe had been looking for some time for a certain kind of goods she wanted for a euit. and not finding what she wanted, had finally taken something that "would have.- to do." The day after the tailor had cut into thin makeshift, she had seen just what she wanted and at such a much more' reasonable price than she had paid for the other goods. "It has made me fairly sick."-she assured me. "to think that I might so easily have had just what I wanted and hot paid near -what I did for that horrid "thins, "either." "It IS .8 shame," I agreed, "but as' long as you can't change it. -why. think of the matter?" v, "I Just can't help it," -she said, "X CHANGE as TIME Effective Jan. 1 st, 1 911 Lv Topeka 7:40 A.M.

Seems to me that's a deplorable state of affairs -to let -a mistake, or. rather an unfortunate happening, poison her mind and cloud her day, merely because she hadn't the ability to put the thought -of it from her. That's one form of, lese-majesty of the thought -vain regrets. Worry is another, Suppose tomor row's tasks, ARK going to take every bit or yomvability; Will it. help you any to spend this evening In a fever of worry as to how you are going to accomplish them You can't help thinking about it? Fie upon -you. That's lese-majesty again. True, this is not the easiest king dom in the world to rule. Quite the reverse, but I do believe anyone can rule it, especially if he ascends the throne young enough. If you deliberately set yourself to banish any thought which you know is harmful you will find your task growing easier each time you accom plish it. But don't forget one thing. And that is that merely banishing a thought is not enough. You must add the positive to the negative. When you want to get rid of a train of thought don't just, be satisfied by merely shunting It off the track, but be sure' to put another in its place.

In the time of our grandpar ents, was the most popular of public amusements, American theater and concertgoera are preparing for a "Russian invasion," the like of which AFTER ORIGINAL CAST. Howard Now Has Most of It in "The Goddess of Liberty." Efforts are being made by Joseph Iv Howard to get the original cast bacic into "The Goddess of Liberty." the most pleasing Singer show of the sea son to be presented at the Grand. He was joined in Topeka .Saturday nignt by Johnny Fogarty, the original bar tender, who reopened with the company in Kansas City last night. With one or two exceptions the company. now prac tically is the original one. Heretofore it has been impossible to get Fogarty to go upon the road. It was the intention of Howard, who sang the leading role here, to rejoin the company in Kansas City, following two weeks spent in Chicago, after leaving the show in Salt Lake City on the way back east. As he returned earlier than expected and visited in Lawrence, his old home, it was found possible for Howard to appear in Topeka. While "The Goddess of Liberty" was In Topeka announcement was made of the forthcoming marriage of Bird Dougherty, musical director for the sho and arranger of all the Howard scores. He is to be married in June to Miss Margery Cook, a chorus girl, for whom Howard bought a $110 diamond ring whiclr'was presented to her white In Topeka. Zach Harris, manager of the show, who came here for the third time this season when he arrived with "The Goddess of Liberty." was here earlier ahead of "The Flirting Princess" and later ahead of. "Miss Nobody From Starland," both Singer shows. Florence Wadsworth, in the role of Hope Butterworth, is expected to close at the end of the Kansas City engage ment. She probably will be -"succeeded by a girl from Chicago. Violet Seaton, an English actress, six months from London, is in the princi pal feminine role. She has a charming personality that quickly won the Grand audience. Contrary to the conservat ism of British, Miss Seaton proved impetuous as she stood behind tho scenes at the night presentation. "Gee, I'm in suspense every moment." she declared laughingly. "I'm just breaking in a new corset and I'm afraid every minute that something's going to tear loose." The chorus was superior to most shows, both as to costuming and as to voices. Especially was Howard Weil taken and many curtain calls were given him at the close of the second act and he made a speech. Just think of that. Joe Howard as a speeehmaker. The musical comedy has a well, de fined plot and comes under the class which Howard declares the public, now wants heroic melodrama set to music and served upon a silver platter with trimmings. KAUSAN AND TAFT WAR Galderhcad Said to Question Wisdom of Proposed Taviff Action. Washington, Jan. 2. Representative W. A. Calderhead, of Kansas, is one of three Republican members of the house with whom President Taft has conferred at the White House in regard to legislation at this session of con gress for a permanent tariff commission.- Representatives John D. Wight, the Republican whip, and John Dalze'l, of Pennsylvania, were the other two. Both Dalzell and Calderhead are mem bers of the ways and means committee, which will originate the proposed bill and push its passage in the house. The standpat Republicans are credited in the Washington papers, whether accur ately or not, with having misgivings as to the wisdom of a tariff committee. According to the story published here the president is understood to have had them with him for an hour in order to line them up for the commission plan which he is advocating. Just what took place at the conference is not known, but report has it that when Dalzell and Calderhead walked out of the president's office they looked solemn and refused to talk for publica tion further than to say that they had been talking over "things in general" with the president. It is generally be lieved here that the members of the ways and means committee will sup port the Longworth bill for a perman ent tariff commission almost to a man. One ol me puuiicai marveis oi me day to older men in congress is the equanimity with which the most fe rocious "standpaters" of other days re ceive the suggestion for the proposed (revision of the tariff subject by subject. Time was when that proposition was met with hoots and jeers and when the mere broaching of the subject to a high protectionist was likely to throw hini into a fit on the floor. Everybody recalls the derision which met William' R. Springer, of Illinois, when he introduced his bills for the revision of the tariff by schedule. .poj?orn tariff bills" tlhey called Mr. ii i i I s. 4 m t I ...v.w-:. :.:"JJ.' 'W f f V Mllo, Anna Pavlowa and M. Mikail Mordkin in a characteristic pose In "Visual Opera." never has been experienced in this country before. The decline and almost total disap pearance of the stately ballet in Amer ica is one of the many mysteries of Springer's measures. They laughed him out of court and his bills died a-born-ing.

"The sun do move." remarked a gTay-bearded standpatter of the house the other day. "It is a fearsome sight to us old boys to see Aldrich and Payne falling Into line with the suggestion for piecemeal tariff revision. It is true Mr. Payne roars lustly $n protest, but I reckcn he. will hava to come to it. es pecially as I understand President Taft has read the riot act to him. "They are making us old standpat ters eat some variegated varieties of crow these days. And we have to say that we like it. Even Senator Aldrich had to take his dose andgulped it down most manfully in the senate the other day. "There doesn't seem to be any place for a genuine dyed-in-the-wool stand patter any more. We have had to take to the woods. As some wag said the other night, a large section .of the Re publican party will have to go into for estry conservation, if we keep on tak ing to the tall timber this way. It looks to me. as If the progressives can put over almost anything thay please on us now. We are in the position of the penitent, with a broken and a contrite heart. Violent hands have been lain on our idol and the tariff is not going to be revised by its friends." POSTAL BANKS tToPEM Tuesday Morning Will See Jfew Sys tern Inaugurated. Washington, Jan. 2. Through the practical institution of the postal sav ings bank system on Tuesday, January 3, the United States government will give the people facilities for saving a part of their earnings. Their estab lishment is regarded as the most Car reaching financial step -taken by the government since the authorization of national banks, and their operation will be watched with interest by financiers throughout the world. The system is to be inaugurated on a comparatively small scale. One post office in each state and territory has been selected as a depository. In these 48 offices, a thorough test will be made. It was decided to make the beginning thus small, not only because no adequate appropriation was avail able to put it into general operation, but also because the plan adopted dif fers entirely from that of any other system in the world. The new scheme is the result of many months of work by committees of postal and banking experts whose efforts were directed bv a board of trustees consisting of the postmaster general, the secretary of treasury and the attorney general. No passbooks will be furnished the depositors, but all deposits will be evi denced by engraved postal savings cer tificates, issued in fixed denominations of one, two, five, tea, twenty and fifty dollars, each bearing the name of the depositor and the date on which inter est begins to accrue. The certificates are non-transferable and non-negotiable. Interest will be payable annual ly at the rate of 2 per cent per annum. By the terms of the law, no account for less than one dollar may be opened and no person may deposit more than one hundred dollars in any calendar month or have to his credit at any one time more than five hundred dollars, exclusive of accumulative interest. Accounts may .be opened by any per son over 10 years old in his or her own name' and .by married women in their own names. The accounts of wives cannot be interfered with or controlled by the husbands. For the present, deposits will be lim ited to patrons of the postoffices at which .the system is established. The service is entirely free, no fee being re quired in conection with the opening of an account or the withdrawal of money deposited. No. person conpeeted with the postof -fice department will be permitted to disclose either the name of a depositor or the amount of his deposit, unless di rected to do so by the postmaster gen eral. Deposits may be withdrawn at any time with accrued interest, or tha interest alone may be withdrawn. While deposits of less than $1 will not be received, small amounts may be saved for deposit by the purchase of postal savings cards at 10 cents each and of 10 cent postal savings stamps, which have been specially prepared for the purpose and will be on sale at nil depository offices. Each postal savings card contains blank spaces to which 10 cent savings stamps may be affixed as purchased. The postmaster will accept a postal savings card with nine 10 cent savings stamps affixed as a deposit of one dol lar, either in opening an account or in adding to an existing account. This feature is expected to appeal particu larly to children and to encourage in them habits of thrift. An interesting feature of the sys tem is the privilege acaorded to a depositor of converting his sasinn to United States bonds to be issued in denominations of 20. 40. (50 an 100 dollarB, and multiples of 100 dol- the changing vicissitudes o.f the amusement world. Throughout the globe the same phenomenon has been experienced in varying degrees, ex cept in Russia. There ballet dancing has not only held its own, but its vogue has grown until it has become the recognized art of the strange, interesting, exclu sive eastern empire. That ia why a revival of the ballet means a tidal wave of Russian dancers. America has had just a sample of the great Russian art, and is ready to join Europe in going mad on the sub ject. The sample was provided in a four weeks' season- last March, when the Metropolitan Opera company pre sented in New York and Boston Mile. Pavlowa and M. Mikail Mordkin, the acknowledged leading exponents of Russian dancing, and the Czar'a fa- I vorite performers. lars up to 500. dollars. The bonds will be issued In both registered and coupon form and will bear Interest at the rate of two and one-half per cent, payable eemi-an-ually. The bonds are redeemable at the pleasure of the United States one year from the date of issue, both prin cipal and interest being payable twen ty years from date of issue in gold coin. No limit is placed on the amount of these bonds a depositor may ac quire., as the bonds are not counted a.i a part of the maximum of 500 dol lars allowed to one depositor. Most of-the funds received from de positors will be placed in local banks throughout the country so that the money will be available for current commercial needs. These deposits will be secured by bonda deposited by the banks with the treasurer of the United States. Five per cent, of the deposits will be held by the treasurer of the United States as a reserve and the board of trustees is authorized to invest 30 per cent, in United States bonds. Among the postoffices designated by Postmaster General Hitchcock as pos tal savings depositories is Pittsburg, Kan. o "Were you a good boy in school today?" "I think so, dad.

10 THE TOPEKA DAIL.Y STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 2, 1911. DOOM FORCHUEGH Glen Elder Woman Bequeathed 2,000 to Congregation. Made Condition That Entertain ments Must Be Abolished. HIT 'MONEY CHANGERS' They Should Be Driven From Temple" Mrs Lundy. Time Was When House of Wor ship Fell Down Financially. Glen Elder, Kan., Jan. 2. There was a time in this little town of Glen Elder when church entertainments and sales constituted just about the sole social life of the place. But that was ten years ago, before Mrs. Sidney Lundy thought of a way to change things. In those days, before the year 1900, there was no "opera house" in the town of six hundred inhabitants. 1 There was no opening for one, for the two churches, the Methodist Episcopal and the Christian, arranged to house most of the "shows" that appeared in the town, besides the occasional per formances by local talent. Lectures, dramas, concerts, as well as socials and fairs, were the usual forms of en tertainment in both churches. So far as can now be ascertained, everybody In the neighborhood was satisfied with the arrangement with the exception of Mrs. Sidney Lundy. Mrs. Lundy, ten years ago, lived alone on a farm of 280 acres two miles north of Glen Elder. People said she was "peculiar," but nobody doubted j that she was rich. It was well known i that she had brought securities for al- I most thirty "thousand dollars from New Jersey when she settled in Glen Elder in 1871. It was also equally well known that Mrs. Lundy had brought with her from her former home in the East some emphatic notions about using a church building for making money. She had joined the Methodist Episcopal church al-! most immediately upon her arrival, and made no secret of the fact that she was shocked at the free for all use of the building for mercenary pur poses. She Disliked Entertainments. "The money changers should be driven from the temple," she had said. "In the East such wholesale profanation of a house of God is un heard of!" But religious funds were scarce in Glen Elder, It looked impossible for a church to pay expenses without the revenue from entertainments. None of the one hundred members of the Meth odist Episcopal church could quite grasp the logic of Mrs. Lundy's argu ment that the money spent In enter tainments was simply so much with drawn from contribution envelopes that if entertainments were abolished the money that had been spent in the church would be given to it. Paid $200 for the Open Door. So for twenty-nine years Mis. Lundy argued i- vain, and the "money changers" remained in the little tem ple of the Methodist Episcopal church. Then one day, Mrs. Lundy, who was 70 years old, decided to make a will. The Pound brothers, Eugene and Law rence, -were both trust ee3 of the Methodist Episcopal church. Acciden tally, or designedly. It will never be known which, Mrs. Lundy asked the Pound brothers to witness the sign ing of her will. They saw the be quest to the church. A Will and an Entertainment. That was on Wednesday. By Thurs day at noon it is safe to say that every member of the church, as well as every one else In town, knew of the conditional gift of $2,000. Now, again, as it happened, the congregation had wished for a long time for a new church building. The old one was out debt, but efforts to obtain subscriptions for the erection of a new edifice had been futile. The opportunity appeared providential. So an announcement was hurriedly made that the "pro posed party" advertised to be given by the Young People's Society for Fri day night would be Indefinitely post- j poned. And from that day to this no form of entertainment for a price nas taken place in the Methodist Episcopal church. They'll Build a New Church. Mrs. Lundy died September 3, 1910. When her will was read a few days' later, contrary to the predictions of j eome oi imj skpulics ujl me wwii, liic church clause was still found embodied In It. The money has not yet been j paid the trustees of the church, but I there is every indication that they will get it soon, and then you can watch for a new Methodist Episcopal 1 church in Glen Elder. And it will be church without paid entertainments, even though lawyers have said that after the money is once obtained, and I epent, it cannot be taken away if the condition is broken. "The system of not making money on the church propery is a success," the Rev. L M. Alexander, pastor of the church, said. "In the ten years It has been used the church has never fallen behind in its finances. So we will observe the conditions, whether we have to or not."

Pioneer Was Known as Authority on Wheat and Weather Conditions. Wichita, Kan.. Jan. 2. Charles Wood Davis, familiarly known In Kan sas since 1860 as "Cottonwood" Davis, is dead at his ranch on the Ninnescah river near Viola. He was 78 years old. Mr. Davis compiled the first freight and passenger tariff sheet issued in Kansas. That was when he was with the Union Pacific railway, which was building west, up the Kaw valley. He put down the first salt well in Sa line county, and placed on the markets of the world the first salt from a Kan sas salt mine. He came to Sedgwick county In 1870 and two years later shipped the first train lead of cattle out of Sedgwick county. With the late Col. M. M. Murdock, Col. S. E. Jocelyn, Capt W. S. White, he promoted the building of the Frisco railroad into Wichita from Oswego, Kan. The early life of Mr. Davis reads like a story book. He was born in New Bedford, Mass., in 1832. He left home on a whaling ship as a seaman before the mast. Upon the ship's re turn to home port" Davis was its mate, having been promoted for bravery when the ship caught fire. He made two trips around the world. Mr. Davis went through the gold rush in California and made a for tune which he lost when a big hotel he built in San Francisco burned. His last business was that of coal mining in eastern Kansas. He got into a law suit with the Frisco railroad which ended his business career, although his suits netted him $30,000. Of late years he did considerable literary work and was recognized as one of the best authorities in the state on wheat and weather conditions. His writings have been published in nearly every magazine In America and Europe. assistant Wyandotte- county prosecu tor and swore out a warrant for the farm "hand," charging grand larceny. The "hand" has not been found. SHOEMAKER IS LEGISLATOR. Johnson County Breaks Rule of Send ing Lawyers and Farmers. Olathe, Kan., Jan. 2. Among the many professions and trades which will be represented in the next. Kan sas legislature will be that of the shoe maker. Farmers, bankers and lawyers have held sway for many years, and have not done so badly either, but it begins to seem that less stress is go ing to be laid upon the Kansas lan guage and more upon- the Kansas mode of locomotion. At least, it so appears by the recent election of Charles H. Hyer of Olathe, who is one of the largest shoemakers in Kansas. The story of Mr. Hyer's success has more than a humorous side. About forty years ago he came to Olathe from Lyons' N. T. When he arrived here he had fifteen cents. He spent that for a lunch in a cafe located In the largest building in town. Mr. Hyer now owns the building, and it is twice as bis as it was then. After spending his last cent he hired out to the state of Kansas at the deaf and dumb institution here as n shoemaker. In 1880 he started out for himself, as sisted by one or two men. In the last thirty years he has simply worked hard and saved his money. He now owns a quarter of a block three stories high, hires sixty men and owns as fine a home as can be found in the state. The citizens of that county have sent him to the legislature regardless of his party affiliation, which happens to be Republican. sell won second place and Flossie El lion of Delphos, a girl of 17, won the third prize.

He was probate judge of Platte county, Missouri, in 1857, and representative in the general as sembly from Howard county in 1866. He participated in the Osawatomie (Kan.) raid, in '.which Fred Brown, son of John Brown, was killed in civil war days. ED HOWE QUITS GLOBE.

Leonard Bailey, 23 years old, a farm hand of White Church, Kan., never had much confidence in ordinary banks, so when he had saved up $47.65 in dollars, quarters, nickels and dimes he tried a bank of his own devising. He put the money in a sack, sawed out a couple of boards and buried it under the corn crib floor. Now he doesn't believe in banks at all, for when he lifted up the boards Sun day to withdraw a part of his deposit he found nothing but a hole. "I'll never get skinned out of my hard-earned money like that," Bailey told his father, after reading In a newspaper about the failure of a sav ings bank. "I'll find a nice likely spot and bury it." Oh Christmas day his father's other "hand" disappeared. Sunday morn ing Bailey wanted some money for New Year's cheer and wt:nt to the bank. He found It bare. Instead of making his intended purchases he went to the omce oi James meek, Manhattan Farmer's Daughter First in K. S. A. C. Contest. Manhattan, Kan., Jan. 2. A girl only 16 years old, Minnie Hohnson, living on a farm near Manhattan, won first prize, $5.00, in the bread bak ing contest at the Kansas State Agri cultural college. The second prize was won by Mildred Pollock of Burlington. Nora Hott of Hiawatha won third prize. Eighteen counties were repre sented in the contest. Luella. Duncan, a Hiawatha girl of 18 years, won the prize of $3 offered for the best and neatest buttonhole sewed by any girl between the years of 14 and 21. Mabel Ledger of Rus- JANUARY Beginning of the Year BEGIN A. Systematic Saving Account The Capitol Building Loan Association 534 Kansas Ave. Atchison, Kan., Jan. 2. E. W. Howe, who founded the Atchison Globe thirty-three years ago this month, has retired. One-half the paper has been given outright to Eu gene Howe, the editor's son. The rest of the stock is divided between R. A. Ramsay, a local dry goods merchant. Dr. Pitts and Charles Linley, who will become business manager of the pa per, having resigned as cashier of the Exchange State bank. Pitts and Ram say will not take an active part in the management of the paper. Mr. Howe had announced his inten tion of retiring at the first of the year, but the announcement was known to few outside his associates of the paper, and the deal made public came as a surprise. In a published statement in the Globe Mr. v Howe announced his intention of retiring to Potato Hill, his country place on the Missouri river bluffs below Atchison and devoting his time to publishing Smith's Quarterly, an ambition he has long cherished. This publication will be unique as it is his intention to print in it anything he desires, a privilege which has been denied him In the newspaper business. Mr. Howe also announced his inten tion of giving to each of his other two children, James P. Howe of the New York Journal reportorial staff, and Mrs. Dwight Franham of Seattle, Wash., a sum more than he received for a half interest In the Globe. Just what price was paid for the half in terest in the Globe has not been made public, but It is known that he had valued the paper at one hundred thousand dollars, and it is not be lieved he lowered the price. No announcement has been made of the future policy of the paper, but as Eugene A. Howe owns a controlling interest, it is believed it will continue as an independent paper. Most of the present force will probably be retained. Edgar Watson Howe was born at Treaty, Ind., in 1854 and began his newspaper career when he entered his father's printing office at the age of twelve. He published the Uolden Globe of Golden, Colo., at the age of Midwinter Exposition At AUDITORIUM Jan. 16-28, 1911 VAUDEVILLE Kansas City, Jan. 2. It is George R. Peck of Chicago, 111., and It has been that way for the last eighteen years. But never would be known from a casual talk with Mr. Peck. He still Is militantly Kansas, he said Sun day at the Hotel Baltimore. Mr. Peck came to Kansas City to attend a birthday anniversary dinner Saturday night for Judge John F. Philips: Mr. Peck arrived here with Gardiner Lathrop, general solicitor of the Atch ison, Topeka Santa Fe railway. "The best result that has come from my eighteen years in Chicago is that Chicago has got used to me," Mr. Peck said. "That is alL I don't believe I'll ever get used to Chicago." Mri Peck was sitting in the lobby of the hotel. Scores of men were passing him every few minutes. He looked at every face that passed. After fifteen minutes Mr. Peck grew impatient. "I never was in a Kansas City hotel fifteen minutes before without run- ning across several Kansas or 'for merlles of that state,' he said. "All the boys must be at home for New Year's day. "We're going to have some of the old crowd up in Chicago next week," he said. "Kansans up there have ar ranged a Kansas Day dinner. It's sup posed to commemorate the entrance of Kansas into the Union, but the date was changed. Joe Waters is coming up from Topeka and Charlie Harger from Abilene and we hope for a lot of the other fellows." Mr. Peck said he had not resigned as general counsel of the Chicago, Mil waukee St. Paul Railroad company. He said he merely had taken an easier place, that of consulting counsel.
