Interesting Reading for Those Who Want to Know. Also a Few Tolls Taken From Kansans. In the opinion of the State Journal, which may be taken for what it is worth, the sentiment of Kansas is for Taft for the Republican nomination more than it is for any other candidate, or even for'Roosevelt who is not a can didate. There are three influences which are at work among the admirers of Colonel Roosevelt against an expression in his favor for the presidency. First These admirers take the col onel at his word; that he is not a can didate and does not wish to be one. Second The general feeling against a third term, and its hazard toward defeat. Third The fear that if Colonel Roosevelt be dragged into a candi dacy, it might be interpreted as a measure of bad faith against Presi dent Taft, whom Colonel Roosevelt said was well equipped for the office, and would alienate much of the great Taft strength. Between Taft. who is classed as a conservative, anU who is also a Pro gressive, and LaFollette who is an "Insurgent," there can be no doubt in the opinion of this p iper, Taft is over whelmingly in the majority. Speaking of polls, the Topeka Capi tal and the Kansas City Star, which have been trying to discredit the ad ministration of President Taft, and be little his work as a Republican leader, do not have a monopoly of the polling business. It wcuiJ be natural for the majority of their readers to vote the way the papers have tried to educate them to vote, but that is by no means the case. There are other polls being taken which reflect on entirely different sentiment from that given out from the poi's taken by the papers which are opposed to President Taft's admin istration. Here is a little vote that was taken the other day at the Washburn Med ical college: Taft 15, Roosevelt 10, LaFollette 4, Wilson 1, Harmon 1, Ryan for governor 14, Capper 3, Bil lard 4, Hodges 4, Curtis for senator 15, Stubbs 13, for resubmission 2, against resubmission 27. Mr. H. F. Leib of State Treasurer Tulley's office is also taking a poll. "My first ballots," ?ays Mr. Leib, "showed thirty-two for Tait. one each for Roosevelt and Champ Clarke. i .viy second collection or oauots, bM in number, show till for Taft. and 73 scat tering. These ballots were sent In difler ent parts of the state and were gathered up just as the voters saw fit to cast them." Here are a few expressions, about five columns of brief comment, which the State Journal compiled today from Kan sas papers: t-'nieide to Xame Other Than Taft. The insurgents are going to consid erable trouble in their endeavors to throw the Republicans of Kansas off their feet and secure some sort of a declaration for tx-Fresident Roose velt as Republican candidate for pres ident. There is a political reason for this activity among the insurgents. They realize that they are going to bo unable to swing Kansas for LaFol lette so they are trying to use Roose velt as the cat's paw to draw the chestnut. Republicans should not be misled by this Roosevelt movement. It would amount almost to political suicide for the Republican party to name as its candidate in the next pt.-idential election any other man than President Taft. He was nomin ated and elected by the Republican party, will have served one term and unless there be charges against him almost sufficiently grave to call for his impeachment he is the only logi cal nominee. Such charges have not and cannot be brought. President Ta-ft has proved himself an honest, capable and conscientious executive and must be named by h!s party for a second term or the party will not only go to defeat but will suffer such dis organization and demoralization that will require years to recover from. Iey aside all names. Take a broad view of the situation and there is no other logical candidate for the Re publican party than the man occupy ing the presidential chair elected as the candidate of the Republican party and who has so occupied it for only se term. Medicine Lodge Cresset. Where Taft Is Strong. Tn one particular you will have to enve it to me lait aummirauun, that is tne vigor auu success with which it has enforced the Sherman law. The law has been on the books! tVta nat twpntv vears. hut until i Taft took hold the government never seemed to be able to get anywhere with it. The attorneys for the big j trusts wnipsawea me government at j every turn, looieu atms aiiit com missions and played horse with the department of justice generally. You will notice that they are not doing that anv more. The big trusts for all their high-priced legal talent are no match for Taft and his legal department, and thev know it. That is what McKinley and Roose velt never were, a great lawyer. He knows what legal ability is, where to get it and how to direct it so as to obtain the best results. There is now a team-work about the administration of the department of justice, a vigor and certainty about its operations, that the country has nev er known before. Trust magnates, get-rich-quick promoters, dynamiters and criminals of every grade are all getting what is coming to them, and what is more, these prosecutions are not costing tne country a cent, as tne attorney general s omce in nnes ana forfeitures is collecting more than enough to pay its way. Mr. Taft is getting a good many hard jolts just now, but nobody except the crooks is kicking on the way he is handling the legal business of the country. Wellington Monitor-Press. Looks Like Taft. Senator A. B. Cummins of Iowa, in surgent Republican has announced his candidacy for the Republican presiden tial nomination. With Roosevelt, La Follette and Cummins to split the in surgent sentiment, it looks like Taft would g?t away with the nomination. Hoiton Signal. (Continued on Pace Three.) stubsWTetter. Receives Acknowledgment by From Colonel Roosevelt. Mail A telegram from Oyster Bay yes terday made the statement that Col onel Roosevelt had been again urged to issue a public statement, that he said, "There is nothing for me to say, I have made it plain that when the occasion arises I will issue a statement in my own hand writing." t-nd that the utterance was inspired by a telegram and letters he had re ceived from Governor i;ubb3 and throe other governors, and that the colonel speke of importuning letters and re marked that while he said they were written in a kindly spirit that the writers were wasting their time when they pressed him for a public declara tion, rind that they must not expect an answer and etc. The governor's office announces today that a letter from Colonel Roosevelt was received at the governor's office last night, but that as the governor had left the city for the east the attaches of the governor's office would not make public the contents of the letter, which is doubt leys a courteous acknowledgment of the governor's message, and in no sense a public answer to the governor's demand for a statement. STUBBS A MEMBER Kansas Governor Takes Position Roosevelt Committee, Chicago, Jan. 2 6. Governor Stubbs of Kansas, and Governor Hadley of Missouri today joined Governor Os born of Michigan and ex-Governor Fort of Xew Jersey, in accepting memberships in the Roosevelt Nation al committee. Gov. Stubbs dropped into the committee headquarters to day to announce his willingness to ac cept a membership. "Roosevelt is the logical man for the Republican party to nominate," he said. "He would carry Kansas by at least 75.000 and carry Missouri, too. There is a strong sentiment in favor of him in my section of the country." The governor w-as on his way to New Tork and "Washington. Asked if his visit to New York had any sig nificance in connection with the Roosevelt movement he smiled broad ly and replied: "Not a bit." Governor Hadley wired the commit tee today that he would accept a membership. TODAY 111 CONGRESS Debate Begins on the Steel Revision Bill. Tariff Washington, Jan. 2 6.

WOODROW WILSON "I THINK IT WOULD BE KIND O' NICE TO HAVE A PRINCETON MAN THERE NEXT." By John T. McCutcheon. Z CONVENTION y-rA- HALL fi (2 lN DOORS OPEN in Jra pi 'Jim MY LOSE OFFICE. City Commissioners Have Vio lated Commission Law. Entire Board Toted for Funds That Caused Deficit. THEY MUST VACATE Law Provides No Excuse fori Their Recent Action. Gossip at City Hall Over Ouster Proceedings. The political war at the city hall may result in serious charges against the four commissioners and the mayor. A.C cording to W. C. Ralston, city attor ney, the commission law makes it nec essary for a commissioner to vacate his effice in case he has spent more money than his budget allowed. A deficit of several thousand dollars is shown in the annual report of the finance com missioner and the law offers no excuse to the jity officials for staying in of fice. When the budget trouble began a few days ago it was carried out along po litical lines. The forces behind Tandy for may, r made public the figures that attempted to lay a big overdraft at the doors of Mayor Billard, Commissioner Miller and Commissioner Stotts. Miller is a candidate fcr mayor. But when they played up these fig ures the Tandy-for-rnayor forces for got that the commission lav.- did not limit the deficit to the one commission er who made the overdraft. The law statss that all commissioners who vote for an ordinance th.it vill auso i 2e ficit are liable and are guilty of mis feasance of orfice. The Deficit in Funds. The report of the finance commis sioner and the city treasurer shows that Commissioner Stotts is behind mon than $7,000, Commissioner Mill er $2,300 and the mayor about $500. But all of these deficits of the above mentioned commissioners were caused by a unanimous vote from the entire board of commissioners. The expen ditures that placed Stotts and Miller in the arrears were voted by the board. According to the law this makes all of the city board of commissioners li able. Here are the facts: Commissioner Stotts had a deficit. It was caused by the city crematory and the small pox epidemic. The crematory run out of coal. The city had no money in the crematory fund to buy more. They voted to buy coal and charge it to the fund rather than close down the plant. The smallpox epidemic came on. It had to be wiped out. The commission voted to do it at any expense. ..It" was done and it cost $4,200. This made deficit in Stotts' department. The commission voted for it and the law savs it was their fault. Commissioner Miller was confronted wiLh the Great White Way expense. It was not provided for in the budget because he didn't know the city want-1 ed it. The Commercial club pushed through the petitions and the white way was put up to the board of city commissioners. They voted on it. A deficit was the result. The entire board was liable.

Men Quarreled Over Construe tion of Air Craft. Both Worked on One Used Here Last Fall. While engaged in a quarrel about 11 o'clock this morning, William K. Jaen icke was hit in the head with a heavy wrench by A. K. Longren the aviator, and badly hurt. The trouble between the men occurred in the work shop of the Central Cycl-3 Supply company, at S16 Kansas avenue, where Jaenicke was at work. Th-3 witnesses and principals of the affair are reluctant to speak of the af fair, but Mr. Longren claims he struck his adversary in self defense. It Is known that but two blows were struck, each man striking the other. The trouble is supposed to have re sulted from ill feeling which has ex isted for several months between these two men. Jaenicke assisted Longren in building the aeroplane which the latter has been using in making nights through the country recently. A mis understanding resulted while the work was in progress or about the time it was completed. This is reported to have been caused by a difference of opinion in business matters which related to money. The aeroplane was completed and Mr. Longren made his first flight of importance w hen he flew over the city and landed on the Washburn campus during the state fair in September. Mr. Longren left shortly after that to Till flying engagements and was accom panied by his brother i s mechanician instead of by Jaenicke. The facts leading up to the quarrel this morning are indefinite but Mr. Longren claims that Jaenicke started it by calling him a liar. Mr. Longren says he then walked up to Jaenicke and told him that he could not prove it. Jaenicke responded by hitting Longren with a hammer and Longren struck Jaenicke in the forehead with a wrench. Jaenicke was taken to the Stormont hospital in Bomgardner's ambulance and is being treated by Dr. C. M. Hensley. He recovered consciousness shortly after 12 o'clock and is reported to be resting well this afternoon. It is rot I .1 known how serious is his injury Three or four men were in the place when the qi'arrel started and saw the fight but were reluctant in discussing it. Mr. Longren was arrested by Officer Wcnderly and taken to the police sta tion where he was released on security furnished by A V Lindell, assistant cashier of the Shawnee State bar.k. He is charged with committing an assault and will be tried on this chage if Jaenicke recovered without developing any other evidence of permanent in jury. Mr. LDngren in talking to a reporter cf the State Journal said: 'There is much detail leading up to the trouble which I do not care to discuss. How ever." he said, "Jaenicke called me a liar and then I walked up to him and told him that he coudn't prove it. With that Jaenicke tr :ck me with a h.nn mer and I hit him with the wrench which I had in my hand and with which I had been working. I hit him in self-defense and will prove it." TO SETTLE STRIKE Union Pacific in Trouble With Postal Department. Must Do Better, No Matter What Method Is Used. Salt Lake City, Utah, Jan. 26. At the close of a secret conference the operat ing heads of the Harriman lines insist ed today that the meeting "was only to talk over time schedules." That time schedules were discussed is not questioned, but this is only part of the story according to men in close touch with the officials. Dissatisfaction with the present schedules, it is said is the result of complaints by the gov eminent that the mails have not been handled promptly enough since the be ginning of the strike in the Harriman shops. It is to remedy this, according to the well informed, that the heads of the Lnion Pacific, Southern Pacific Oregcn Short Line and San Pedro, Los Angeles Salt Lake are considering two courses of action. Two Suggestions Made. One, it is said, is the suggestion of a compromise with the striking mem bers of the Harriman system federa tion of shoo men. which strike leaders have intimated they will accept. Th other is reorganization of the operat ing departments to bring about closer train connection and hurry the mails. No one preseit at the conference to day would admit that the strike situa tion had anything to do with the con ference and evasive answers wre re turned to questions along this line. Many Officials There. Present at the conference today were: For the Union Pacific A. L. Mohler, president; W. B. Scott, vice president and general manager; J. A. Monroe, vice president in charge of traffic: Gar lit Fort, passenger traffic manager; W D. Lincoln, assistant general manager in charge of car service. For the Southern Pacific: Willia Sproule, president; E. K. Calvin, vice president and general manager; E. C) .McCormick, vice president; Charles S. Fee, passenger traffic manager; G. F. Richardson, car service agent. San Pedro. Los Angeles Salt Lake: J. Rcss Clark, vice president; Fred A Wann, general traffic manager. Mr. Mohler, as president of the Oregon Short Line, represents that road. CHECK BOOKS ARE GONE McXamura's Attorney I-'nils to Produce Tliem in Court. Indianapolis. Jan. 26. Attempts to withhold J. J. Mcxamara'a check books from the government investiga tion of the dynamite conspiracy were blocked by r ederal Judge Anderson today, in an order directing Leo M. Rappaport, an attorney to appear at once before the federal grand jury and turn over the evidence required. As counsel for McNamara, Rappaport claimed that whatever check books. stubs and cancelled checks McNamara had given him were privileged com munications and could not be demand ed as evidence. Rappaport had been ordered to appear before the grand jury but he resisted by a motion to quash the subpoena. District Attorney Charles W. Mil ler argued that the grand jury wanted the check books to find out what Mc Namara did with the $1,000 a month allowed him as secretary treasurer of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers for or ganizing purposes. "That money was paid him as an official of the union," said Mr. Miller. "It was expended to transport dyna mite and nitroglycerin about the country and to pay the expenses of men who blew up places." Judge Anderson rules the check books were as material as a revolver or a knife with which murder had been committed and must be produc ed. The court also criticised Rappa port for refusing to state In court whether he had the check books. Rappaport immediately went before the grand jury. Later the grand jury reported to Judge Anderson that Rappaport had testified that the check books were not in his possession and that he re fused to say where the evidence was, or whether he knew where it was. The court late today will decide whether the attorney must answer the instruc tions. PACKERS LOSE A POINT Original Margin Sheets Admitted Kviilence by the Court. in Chicago, Jan. 26. A ruling in favor of the government in the prosecution of the packers was made totiay when United Statts District Judge Carpenter allowed the introduction in evidence or 35 original margin sheets of the Na tional P :.ckii g company for the first eight months of 1910. The defense had denied all knowledge of these 01 'ginal margin sheets until they were suddenly produced in court by District Attorney Wilke-scn. The government believes the margin sheets to to an important link in the chain of circumstantial evidence by which it expects to prove the packers guilty of violating the criminal section of the Sherman law. When Special Counsel Pierce Ru'ler, representing the g vernment staried to read the sheets to the jury, the de fense made vigorous objection on the ground thBt the evidence was imma terial. "These papers are irrelevant and should be excluded,"' said Attorney John t. Miller, representing the Armour group of defendants. "If we are not careful we will be overwhelmed with immaterial things in this case." "These papery are r'-han1ed things, in the opinicn of the government," in terrupted Attorney Blair. Judge Car penter then overruled the objections and Attorney Butler was permitted to read the disputed document to the Jury. filORSEOOR HAM Friends Wonder How Doctor's Pay Will Be Raised.

The most In timate friends of Charles W. Morse in this city, Including one or two who knew the whole story of Morse's oper ations of his banks, the Influences which led to his prosecution and th condition of his health at the time of his conviction and removal to the fed eral prison at Atlanta, say that al though the president has Riven to Mr. Morse his freedom nevertheless even though his life is spared, he to to b permanently a physical and almost a mental wreck. By careful nursinic and skillful medical treatment his Hie may be prolonged, but the disease la organic, progressive and can, his friends say. In all probability be no more than temporarily checked.

26, 1912 3 FOR TAFT THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUENAL JA2TUAEY (Continued from Page One.) Taft Is Practical. Of course it will make no difference In the end nor does it make any now. A great many peopl-e are going wild over Teddy and denouncing Taft and yet the public records show that in the three years of Taft's administration there have been written on the statut-3 books more laws demanded by the peo ple than in the seven years of Roose velt's administration. Kinsley Mer cury. How Not to W in. The Republican party cannot win by attacking Republican measures and Republican leaders and by trying to steal the other fellow's platform. That is the "lesson" of the election In the Seventh district. Or rather the re sult in the Seventh district simply em phasized a lot of other lessons to the same effect which have been adminis tered to the Republican party during the past two years and a half. It may bs possible to revolutionize the Republican party, to discredit its legislation, to destroy those who have been its trusted leaders and to make it declare for principles which it has here tofore pronounced to be vicious and un sound. But when that is done it will not make the least difference what the party does or professes or who its lead ers are, for it will be so hopelessly out of power that none of these things will be of the slightest consequence. Iola Register. "Renominate and Ke-olect Him." William H. Taft has made a good President and the people of the United States could not do better than renom inate and reelect him. Olathe Mirror. A Square Deal Demanded. The fight on Taft is so unfair that every man who has been treated un fairly, and every man has been treated unfairly, should resent it and stand by Taft. And if men will do that Taft will be the next president. Hiawatha World. The Same Men Now. Roosevelt is the man who made Taft, -ouched for him, stood by him, and the man who will again be for him. New ton Journal. Praise for Taft. Senator Brady of the Lawrence Journal-World insists that President Taft is "the greatest president since the war." Ft. Scott Tribune. Murdook anil Madison Were for Taft. Both Murdock and the late Ed. Madi son were for Taft for second term, the rest of the insurgent leaders are op posed to him because he would not give them enough of the political pie. Con gressman Murdock is the most pro gressive Republican in this state. He comes nearer being a LaFollette fol lower than Stubbs, Bristow or White, and yet he is not one of their crowd. Why? Because he docs not approve of their kind of insurgency.

This is pretty good, from Ewing Her bert, of the Hiawatha World: "When you come to think it over who do you blame with rocking the business boat? What men Is it that spoiled the good times and threw so many out of work and opened the soup houses once more? The men who are behind Roosevelt and IrfiFoIIette are the ones who have done their best to discredit th.e good times of Taft. Isn't it so? And now they ask that Roosevelt be nominated to restore good times after they have made bad times by their course of denunciation and obstruction of a splendid presi dent!" Atchison Globe. Goodby, Tom. Good old standpat Tom Cordry of the Parsons Daily Sun, whose head is always so level and who has always so ably spoken the gospel of straight Re publicanism, has slipped. We Taft folks have lost him. Goodby. Tom; we may have to join you later on', but we are not anticipating the storm by jumping out while the sea is com paratively calm. You should have stayed by The Ship. That there is dis satisfaction in the Republican party there is no use to deny, and the sensi ble thing to do is to get together of course. Howard Courant. Not Roosevelt's Real Friends. The Lawrence Journal-World quotes a lady visitor who has been visiting in the family of Congressman Jackson at Washington for weeks, who savs: "There is very little talk in" Wash ington about Roosevelt for president. When the Republicans there discuss the matter, the burden of their talk seems to be Taft, but with the Demo crats there is only one name heard that of Champ Clark." The Roosevelt "for president" talk is not among his real friends. There are no new worlds for him to conquer in that office. He refused it four years ago. and there is no reason why he, or the Republican party should want to give any man a third term Too many terms got Diaz into trouble, as well as Mexico. Those who are whooping it up for Roosevelt, are for anybody to defeat Taft. The crowd got together and nominated LaFollette at Chicago, but his name fell with a heavy thud on public opinion. They organized those LaFollette booster meetings in Ohio, and they were painfully cold enthus iasm was far below zero, and they've been dropping him ever cince. Even Governor Stubbs has got down off tho "progressive" perches. South Kansas Tribune. Taft Gaining Favor Daily. Balie Waggener on Taft: "I don't care if he is a Republican." he said. "I begin to suspect that he is right about that tariff business." And so it is with a great deal of the opposition that has been expressed in regard to the president. After all that has been said and done the people are coming to see that after all he is about right. It seems the insurgents and Demo crats who were so busy down at Washington this summer digging a hole to put the president in are now digging equally hard to keep the hols they dug from falling in on them selves. And through it all President Taft is gaining favor every day. Hor ton Headlight-Commercial. Will Be Rated at Real Worth. President Taft shows how millions of dollars are being saved to the gov ernment by business methods and rec ommends economic measures that will save many millions more every year. It is by far the most thoroughgoing investigation of the government's busi ness methods that has ever been made. He recommends the abolition of prac tically the whole patronage system and the placing under civil service of all 7-ostmasters and a whole army of em ployees in other departments whose Jobs have heretofore been more or less political perquisites. It is one of the most progressive steps taken in gov ernmental affairs for many years, and the adoption of the recommendations by congress would constitute some'thing scarcely !es:! than revolution in the po litical machinery of the country as well as in a vast improvement of the gov ernment service. But Taft is a poor politician and will likely get little credit for this statesmanlike recommendation. He doesn't know how to "play the game" and apparently doesn't care much. But some day, sooner or later, these real reforms, these bonaflde progressive measures will be rated at their real worth. And that is the im portant thing. Marion Record. Taft Is Preference. The Clipper's preference is Taft. Soldier Clipper. Taft's Wonderful Achievements. President Taft has done his best to get along wtih the progressives. He has appointed many of them to office. He has recognized them as being Re publicans. He has recognized their views and has adopted many of them mere is no reason for deserting him He stands for every good thing which any other man stands for and he stands tor none of the unwise things which some of the other men stand lor. He has appointed big men on the bench of the supreme court. He has enlorced the Sherman ajiti-trust law. He sought to make no glory out of it. He has not issued any proclamations in regard to what he has done. We believe President Taft will be re nominated. If he can not be re-elected, no other Republican can be elected. If he can not provoke enthusiasm, no other Republican can. J nis country wants peace and a righteous enforcement of law. We are more likely to have these conditions under the second administration of Taft than under the first administra tion of any former president. President Taft is a big man. men tally. He makes errors, but he is sin cere and clean. President Roosevelt trusted him with large responsibilities. Since he has been president he has undertaken to be a president for the entire country. He was elected on a protection platform and supposed the country wanted protection. When he found by the congressional elections that the country wanted a partial de struction of the tariff, he proposed free traxie with Canada. This we re gard as his cardinal mistake. But he was justified in a measure in putting the matter to the test. The proposi tion provoked great controversy and much ill feeling. Then Canada saved the day for the states. Out of the entire proposition the newspapers se cured free trade in wood pulp and paper. If the Payne-Aldrich bill had provided for free wood pulp and paper there would have been no controversy. That is, there would have been no controversy in regard to that. There might have been some other contro versy. The selection of a president of the United States is a national, not a local proposition. AVe want it understood everywhere and for all the time, that we stand for the renomination and re-election of William Howard Taft. Des Moines Capital. Roosevelt-Taft Policies. Newton Journal: When the proper time comes, which will be several weeks before the national convention, Roosevelt will endorse President Taft. Roosevelt made Taft president, left his "policies" strewn all over the White House to be carried out by Taft, and Taft has done his best to make good. Pratt Union.

Barber County Index. Taft's Policies Are O. K. A very peculiar proposition in con nection with present political events is the desire of many Republicans for Roosevelt to run for president but they would like to run him on a plat form of Taft policies. They believe that the tariff board is the way to really solve the tariff question and that Taft has it working about right. They believe in the peace policies of Taft. They believe that Taft is mak ing good progress in the solution of the trust problems and doing well with the currency problems. And yet, some of the men who want these policies continued want Roosevelt and say that they will not vote for Tatt. Queer world, isn't it? Manhattan Mercury. Nothing Valid Against Taft. An eastern editorial that came un der our notice recently, not particular ly antagonistic to the president, com plained nevertheless that Mr. latt, while conceded to be ho.nest, sincere and able was "not a politician." That he "talked too much and wrote too much and was hasty in forming his conclusions." This later arraignment is the most unkind cut of all. Think of the presi dent immediately following our de lightful Colonel Roosevelt, being charged with "talking too much and writing too much and being hasty in his conclusions." The situation with a lot of weak kneed editors over the country is, they have nothing valid to urge against Mr. Taft, but because it is the fashion, they feel called upon to say something condemnatory of his admin istration. Furthermore, he is too honest, frank and straightforward to make a first class politician, like almost any insurgent of prominence. Mr. Taft has sounded the depths, when he fails of being a politician when he "talks too much, writes too much and is hasty in his conclusions." Ft. Scott Republican. Taft Is Progressive "All Right." Do vou think the Taft administration progressive? If twenty-five years ago the attorney general had been engaged in trust busting, jumping onto Stand ard Oil and the Steel Trust, and trying to send the plutocrats to jail, it tne in terstate Commerce Commission had been refusing to permit railroads to raise their rates at will, if the secre tary of the stats had been engaged in making peace treaties with all the world. If the secretary of agriculture had had the men in his department preventing the adiilterating of food and requiring ths labelling of medicine and putting the fellows in jail who poisoned food, and if the secretary of the in terior had advocated the building of a government railroad and government control of forests and mines, and if the postmaster general had advocated the ownership of telegraphs by the post office department, if all this had been happening a quarter of a century ago. we folks, even out here, in Kansas. would have declared that the whole government had gone populistic, that it was just a lot of freaks who were run ning the government and that they would run the thing into the ground and drive business off the earth. Yet thess are the things that a cabinet, said to be strongly stand-pat, is doing right along. Talk about progress, when contrasts are made, this government is progressing fast enough to make your head swim. Manhattan Mercury. Hopes to Defeat Taft. Incidentally, Pinchot is supposed to have been chiefly instrumental in fin ancing the campaign that was launched many moons ago in the Interest of LaFollette. Pinchot probably had sense enough from the first to know that he could not nominate LaFollette, but he hoped to defeat Taft. He still hopes to do that. Ft. Scott Republican. Taft Good President. Mr. Taft has made the best Pres ident this nation has had in half a century. Although he may not be as popular as the colonel he will not be turned down unless he withdraws. Pratt Republican. Roosevelt Will Support Taft. The Roosevelt boom for president, instead of clarifying the political wat ers, has added to their murkiness. Away back east, according to a num ber of the magazines. H is understood that Roosevelt and Mr. Taft have a secret understanding and when the time ripens, the ex-president will de- Trying to Disrupt Party. Martin's defeat for congress in the Seventh district is said by some one to be a slap at Taft. How any sane person can reach such a conclusion is difficult to understand. Martin was a progressive and his platform was all that the most radical could wish for. It was not against Taft, but, was a slap against the alleged progressive leaders of Kansas that have,' labored long and hard to disrupt the party in the state. Lindsborg Record. Who's the Guilty Party? William Allen White, calling atten tion to the fact that the Republican party of the nation was united at the beginning of President Taft's term while now it is disrupted and dis cordant, sees in that a sufficient reason for demanding the retirement of Taft and the call of some other man to the leadership of the party. Applying the same test to conditions in the state of Kansas, why does not Mr. White demand the retirement of Governor Stubbs and Senator Bristow and the editor of the Bmnoria Gazette? In der the leadership of this triumvirate the Republican party has certainly be come as badly demoralized in the state as it has in the nation under the lead ership of Taft, and if new leadership is needed in the latter it certainly is in former. Is Mr. White ready to step down as he asks Mr. Taft to do, for the good of the party, and yank his compatriots in the crime of party de moralization down along with him? t Iola Register, January 16. Roosevelt Not Certai nof Election. It is by no means certain that Roose velt could be elected if nominated. Taft is accomplishing far more than Roose velt did in actual working out of ad ministration problems, and is in the midst of a complete reformation which will mean millions saved and greater ef ficiency at the same time. Taft's peace policy means the lifting of a tremend ous burden of expense from the nation. Hiawatha World. LaFollette Should Support Taft. If Senator LaFollette were a real progressive Republican, he would be backing up President Taft in his tight for honest progress, and aiding in his defense against the powerful and sel fish interest.-! who seek the destruction of the president because of his service to the people. Fort Scott Tribune. Taft's Practical Kconomy. Mr. Taft's message to congress on Economy and Efficiency in the Gov ernment Service is a sound argument for the introduction of practical busi ness methods in the transaction of the business of the government "What the government does with nearly one billion dollars each year." the president declares, "is of as much concern to the average citizen as is the manner of obtaining this amount of money for public use." Mr. Taft further urges a wide ex tension of the civil service as a move for efficiency and economy. Leaven worth Times. Is It a Vehicle? We greatly imagined that progressive Republicanism was organized to oust Joe Cannon, but we find that it is merely a vehicle for certain d'scon tented and otherwise helpless politi cians to ride or attempt to ride into office. Beaver Valley Booster. Taft Will Be Nominee. The sentiment of th-a west is very generally for Roosevelt and were it possible to nominate him it is probable he could be elected over any man the democrats could name. The sentiment of the east is not for Mr. Roosevelt at this time and the Saturday Evening Post indicates that Mr. Taft will be the nominee and pretty nearly proves it. Anthony Republican. A Big Volume of Record. One trouble with Taft is that his ad ministration is not index-sd. There is no summary of it. The public has no time to wade through the big volume of the record. In consequence it does not know what is going on. Every ad ministration needs an index. Some call it a press agent. Lawrence Journal-WTorld. When Shopping downtown drop into the C. O. D. Store.

The clari fication, if it may be called such, is the fact that nothing except death can keep num out or tne ngnt" now. To tho great majority of believers in the party which elected Mr. Taft president of the United States, this message will come as a source of gratification. It means that no hopes of his admirers may be misplaced, and it points a center at which the misguided shafts of the Dem ocratic party may be aimed. Gaylord Sentinel. After You, Alphonse. It is generally believed in Washing- ion that President Tart an Mr. Roose velt are doing the Alphonse and Gas ton act over the presidenf ial nomination. That the president has informed Mr. Roosevelt that if he (T. R.) wants the Republican nomination he (Taft) will step aside and let him have it. Very likely there is some kimt of an under standing between the two men. The projection of Roosevelt's name into the fight has dumped LaFollette into the discard, and if the -colonel is not going to allow the honor to be forced on him the president's renomination is to follow as a matter of course.

It has been a conquest and a victory more glorious than that which any bloody war ever yielded. No matter what ex pression the people of this country give torin rrom tne conflicting issues in this year's political campaign, future years win yieia greater honor to Mr. Taft for the successful accomplishment of this great undertaking than for al most anything that has been done by the United States of America or any other power in the world. Douglas Tribune. Everything Points to Taft. Stubbs based his hope on being able to stampede the state for LaFollette. But whatever sentiment existed In Kansas for the Wisconsin man ha about fizzled out and Stubbs must make his fight on other lines. Every thing points at present to a Taft dele gation from Kansas.

Colonel Roosevelt stated re peatedly that he In not a candidate for president. He is not. If the people insist it is their own affair. Furthermore if h announces as even a receptive candidate It would at once give rise to the charge that he was seeking to make this country a monarchy. Of course a charge would not hurt much in this enlightened age but we find considerable honest sentiment against a third term. Roosevelt must be drafted, not nominated at his own sug gestion.

FTTJj T,E!TT WmE REPORT OF THE A SSOCT ATET PRES- The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph renort of that great news or ganization for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. The news Is received In The State Jour nol building over wires for this sole pur pose. Only one more week of distressing suspense, and then cornea Groundhog Day. "A better actor than John Drew." was an estimate placed on Senator La Follette by one of the prominent New Yorkers, who heard him speak there recently. Jack Johnson is itching for an op portunity to wrestle with Frank Goteh. "With his usual modesty. Jack wants to foe the only champion on earth In his and allied lines. Paraguay and Argentina are to re lieve the South American monotony by going jnto a fight against each other instead of having revolutions in their respective territories. It Is ta'en for granted by the Chi cago Tribune that Mayor Shanks of Indianapolis, with his eye on next sum mer, is harvesting a big ice crop to be sold to the ultimate consumer at wholesale rates, to the confusion of the grasping dealers. No wonder Governor Stubbs gets along so well with himself. Any crit icism he sees fit to make of any per son or thing is, in his opinion, uncon trovertibly reasonable and -justified. AH criticism directed against him, he pets down as being foolish and un worthy of serious consideration. Governor Stubbs is procrastinating. Colonel Roosevelt should have been hauled ere this before a justice of the peace for his failure to respond with the statement Mr. Stubbs demanded of him. Perhaps, though, the governor has been unable to find a "not un friendly" justice before whom to press the proceeding. Something real in the way of a fem inine Solomon has finally appeared on the world's surface. She is none other than an actress who played the part of a mechanical doll in a show staged recently in Topeka. "To be a mechanical doll," she confided to a credulous reporter, "why you just have to act mechanical, that's all." R. A. Long, the millionaire lumber man and philanthropist of Kansas City, Mo., is of the opinion that Gov ernor Harmon of Ohio, is the only man who, as president, could bring about a settled condition of financial affairs in this country. What is Gov ernor Harmon's attitude in respect to the lumber schedules of the tariff law? They've rigged up an ice boat with an aeroplane engine and propeller that can travel rtt the rate of 140 miles an hour. Up-to-date Uncle Tom's Cabin shows wiil please take notice. With one of these contrivances there is no good reason why 'Liza should not make an easy get-a-way from the bloo abounds. Otherwise, there will not be much use for such a cistanee destroyer. Chairman Dolley's suggestion that the Republican state committee order a primary for the selection of dele gates to the Republican national con vention will probably be hailed with great approval in those quarters at home and abroad which, not so long ago, decried the thought of holding a "mob primary" to nominate a can didate for congress in the Second dis trict. Girls in the vicinity of Peabody are quite right in their suggestion that the young men of the same locality pa tronize home industry in their search for matrimonial bargains. And it is really surprising that these young men should think of looking else where. Kansas is famous for many crops, but none of them can compare for quality, beauty and capability with the crop of Kansas girls of the mar riageable age. It strange that some of the Roose velt enthusiasts have not met the "no third term" cry against their favorite with the argument that the Colonel did not serve two terms of his own as president. It is true that he was only elected to the office once. It is also true that he has stated that he has considered his presidential service as comprising two terms. But this ought not to deter bis "friends" from Insisting that technically he has only served one term of his own, The fact that tfce Colonel some three years ago said he would not be a candidate again and that he has since said he is not a candidate doesn't hinder his "ardent admirers' for political purposes from pressing hia candidacy. chapter lxxxtv. Golden Rules and Other Comment. Few people are aware of the care that a daily newspaper takes to cor rectly report the happenings of the day. It must be remembered, how ever, that a daily newspaper is a hur ried product; that it must be produced on time and that the newspaper must give the most careful statement pos sible. In this connection an eastern news paper has some excellent rules. They are not the set rules of this office, but are good rules, nevertheless. Changing the name of the paper to the State Journal, the rules would read as follows: GOLDEN RULES. The following rules or instructions are posted in the local and e-itorial rooms of a .prominent eastern newspaper. They are so good that this paper copies them here for thi purpose of giving them a wider circulation in newspaper orrices, substituting, however, the name of the eastern paj.tr for the name of this paper: When grossly exaggerated state ments are made by a reporter, or copy reader, such reporter or copy reader will be asked tor his irmaediate resig nation. ASK QUESTIONS. The policy of the State Journal is to please as many people as possible. Re porters will be held responsible for un pleasant articles or expressions, unless they act under specific instructions from the editor in charge. No reporter is permitted to decide questions cf this kind. He must ask for instructions. NO SLANG. Thieves' slang and -slang of all kinds must not appear in the Stat a Journal. Members of the staff will be held strictly accountable for any infractions of this rule. The State Journal is to talk as a gentleman should, NO EXAGGERATIONS. Accuracy. The State Journal is) to contain no exaggeration of facts. Care must be taken to state accurately the truth. If a $50,000 transaction is de scribed, do not call it a. $100,000 trans action. If some one dies leaving $100,000, do not say he left $300,000. The State Journal must be reliable in all things, as well as entertaining, amiable, and well written. All of which shows, gentle readers who read this pr.per. how difficult It li to be good, r charitable. Speaking of the pronounced Taft sentiment in Kansas, reference is here made to the five columns of brief comment published elsewhere in this issue. Also speaking of the presidential situation. Representative Nicholas Longworth, Roosevelt's son-in-law, is quoted as being anxious that his father-in-law should not accept the nom ination even If offered, believing that no man can win a third presidential term. Being asked to give an expres sion, he is reported to have said furth er in connection with his visit with the colonel yesterday, "I find that my distinguished father-in-law is thor oughly capable of speaking for him self." (Chapter LXXXV Tomorrow.) JOURNAL ENTRIES It's easy to misplace things, includ ing blame. Nor is the "hot-air" vented by hu mans of any service in cold weather. A change for the better is the only possible one with many people. Ananias seems to be the only Bibli cal character who is emulated to any extent these days. Be careful nowadays in telling a man that anything is "as black as your hat." More than likely his is gray or some other color. JA YHA WKER JOTS One of the things that is i'.vz matter these days, thinks the Village Deacon of the Osborne Farmer, is that they don't cook enough turnips. It is wrong to say "you can't cash dreams," insists the Marysville Advocate-Democrat. We have done it many a time just before we woke up. A Michigan professor has invented a new alphabet with nine letters dropped out. notes the Ellinwood Leader, and it adds: It is to bs hoped be has omitted "I. O. U." and "C. O. D." Miss Anna Carlson of the Lindsborg News points out that the fact that a woman can roast her neighbors a nice delicate brown is no absolute guaran tee that she is a good cook. Having gotten rid of J.aFollette. the Emporia Gazette is now busily en gaged, says the Osborne Farmer, in trying to force the great common peo ple to make Groundhog day a national holiday. The people wouldn't kick so all-fired much on their taxes, says Bert WTalk?r in his Osborne Farmer, if Uncle Sam would put some of his money into a good circus and send it around about once a year. "Times are certainly better than they were forty years ago," said Bill Sliv ers to the Toronto Republican recent- ly. "I had to pay 75 cents a pound for chewin' tobacco then. Now I can buy a pound for 45 cents." Advice to chicken fanciers from the Toronto Republican: It will soon be time to get your last spring's incubator out of the handbox and polish it up for use. It is best to try it out with a setting of china egga until you get it perfectly regulated. Commenting on the story in the Over brook Citizen about it being so cold in its vicinity that a cat in jumping from a hen house to th-5 ground was frozen stiff in the air and remained suspended until the next day, the Scranton Ga zette says: Now that is what we, would call Catalepsy. This is really not the season for snake stories, but the spirit of exag geration seems to prevail and every day or two we hear of some rabbit stories that are hard to believe, says the Colby Tribune. Fellows t-11 about shooting three and four at one shot. Charley Patton came in this week with a bunch of scalps and informed us that 7 5 of the rabbits were killed with 4 3 shots. He explained that the rabbits came in of an evening to his stockyard in large numbers and very often he would kill four and five with one shot. No wonder Kansas rabbits are tak en occasionally for antelope. Read the following from the Troy Chief: John Trant brought, to the Chief of fice last Saturday, a rabbi which was a freak.. It was shot a few days be fore by his eon, EUia Trant. oa the old White place, north of Troy. It was a common cottontail in all respects ex cept that it had four horns growing at the base of its ears, two on each side. The horns were nearl two inches long and about the size of a rooster's spurs and apparently of the same hard substance. They were sure enough horns and the rabbit was quite a curosity. KANSAS COMMENT AS TO PREJUDICES. Get a prejudice into your system in the days of your youth and then observe how much it becomes a religion as you grow older. Many years ago we took an aver sion to a certain character and about the time that prejudice was getting a good hold on us we fell in with a man who intensified it by what we presumed to be accurate statements as to the shortcom ings of the individual we detested. So as time went on we measured this Individual by a yard stick that had been shortened to suit our convenience. We were able to see every little flaw, while the appar ent virtues were supposed to either be convenient cloaks for vice or sops to appease the' critics. Recently there came an awakening and we discovered that so many of our preconceived opinions wee founded on a false foundation and learned further that the men who really knew the truth and had no personal axes to grind were united in a sincere esteem for the virtues of the one we considered beyond redemption. And this is not an isolated or an exceptional case. The most of the prejudices of mankind are based on mis information. Slander is more often heard than is the tribute deserved; the charac ter assassin can get a hearing when lie who would speak a word of deserved praise is unheeded, and so as a general thing it has come that the most of our likes and dislikes are based on prejudice rather than knowledge. Marysville Advocate-Democrat. o HONESTY. The time has come in this old world when those who wish to enjoy its liber ties will have to do something near the right thing or get out; pretenders and fakers have had sway so long they Had become a serious handicap to legitimate business. Men do not know what or wnu to ..trust. It is a sad condition to an hon est business concern when they make ui their minds that the whole business, world is a set of theives. How it shakes confidence when man can not have placed in his hand even the smallest position ol trust without having to give a bond lor three times the probable amount at his disposal which means that I will put up so much money that I will adhere to common honesty. There are In the world more honest men than rogues. We have no sympathy with that cynic who, history informs use, was ordered to summons the good men of the city before the Roman censor, and went out to the grave yard to make the call, declaring that he knew not where to find good men alive. True, there are those in great number who have no regard for the rights ot others, and will only recognize them when forced to do so by our splendid government that Is a guardian of us all. Scranton Gazette. FROM OTHER PENS WATCH THE YELLOW MEN. Last week in Seattle Adelphia college, a private educational institution, opened a "Chinese department." There were en rolled on th opening day 100 Chinese boys from 12 to 20 years of age. AH were sent from China to be educated in this country on the American plan. There is deep significance in this. China has reached its long-expected awaken ing. Whether the republic that has been started there by some of its more pro gressive people endures or not it is cer tain that the vast and ancient empire will never return to the conditions that ex isted for so many years under the rule of the Manchu dynasty. China beyond any doubt has finally taken its place in the procession of civilisation. The Chinese boys in Adelphia college and oth er American schools and colleges will be leaders in the education, polities, business and industry of their country in a few years. China may not develop as rapidly as Japan did, but its rate of progress is likely to surprise other nations. And no matter how quickly or slowly the change is made it is sure, in the end. to become a civilized nation. Cleveland Leader. POLITENESSIN SCHOOLS. The city of Cleveland has taken a tear from the academic notebook of Chicago and has elected a woman superintendent of schools. Miss Harriet Keeler, the new superintendent, is a woman of high lit erary attainment and for 38 years has been associated with school work; she must know something about education. Miss Keelor has a hobby that she wishes to see tried out in the schools, and it will Interest the people of the whole country it is that politeness should be taught in every grade. Miss Keeler is in favor of devoting a short time in each grade to a practical illustration of politeness In everyday life. This idea is so natural and yet so new that its very mention wins favor. Some pupils may have home advantages that make the teaching of politeness unneces sary, but the great bulk of our school children could profit by such a course. Examples of correct conduct on the street, in traveling and In being thought ful and considerate of other people's feel ings will be important aids to character building Boston Globe. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. tFrom the Philadelphia Record. A blasted hope should always be put out of his misery. Dumb luck may be the result of keep ing one's mouth shut. A man never realizes how many friends he hasn't till he needs a few. Can a political candidate make a clean sweep without raising the duBt? Fortune doesn't always knock when a woman is having her "at home" days. It doesn't cost any more effort for some people to laugh than for other people to worry. You can't always judge of a woman's standing from her efforts to get a seat in a crowded car. "A fair exchange is no robbery," quoted the Wise Guy. "Then It's too bad some people can't change some of their dollars into sense," added the Simple Mug. Hubbubs "So you don't agree that the age of miracles is past, eh?" Subbubs "Not on your life. There's a man out my way who has had the same cook for nearly a year." Hoax "Your friends, the brewer and the doctor seem to be great friends." Joax "Why shouldn't they be? The doc tor rejoices in the fact that the brewer makes people ale." DAFFYDILS BY V. NOAXiL. If a Bible was taken to a party would the concordance? (To arms! To arms!! Our fairy queen is in danger.) If the lady pianist was stricken blind would the orchestra leader? (Nay. nay. Pauline! You should never feed gum to a goldfish.) If the Royal Canadian Band played God Save the King for five hours could Sousa's play The Stars and Stripes Forever? (Sic-'tra Prince. He bit papa and mamma.) SV THE WAY BY HARVEY PARSONS. Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Lease recently made a speech in New York. It was a short speech in fact, it only took one paragraph but she got in her favorite" word. Had she spoken two paragraphs, the chances are good that she would have succeeded in util izing her second-best word, which she made famous in her epigram concern ing "less corn." A girl has been canned from the Syracuse seminary because she object ed to the class and quantity of the food. Perhaps the management neg lected to inform her when she entered the school that the "starvation cure" was a part of the curriculum. Cats, like most politicians, make the most noise while they are on the fence and don't know which way to jump. No man la so danged stingy that he will object to having others share his good opinion of himself. About the only compensation a pro fessional optimist can find in old age is that the extremely old may make a good living signing testimonials for some alleged "medicinal" whisky. Even the lowest life-germ the egg has it on man in this respect: an egg is never too fresh. This paradox stuff is the cheapest and poorest kind of paragraph filler, BUT the fact remains that you can't keep a woman's love without return ing it. Gossip tried to hang the extrava gance of a local "in bad" on his wife, but we refuse to fall for it until some evidence has been introduced to show that she fried things in butter. Men are the mental inferiors of women in many respects, but you sel dom hear of a man marrying a wom an to reform her. Scut bs says the hobo is the parasite of the human race; biit he should amend to read, "one of the parasites of the human race." The man who won't take no for an answer will live to regret it if he's married. Some people wear glasses because they see better, ana otners Because they think they look better. Since he was whipped by reporters, "Rev. Dr." Ottoman Zar Adhust, the sun-worship fakir of Chicago, may have some personal knowledge of the "power of the press," or at least the power behind a lert swing oi a repre sentative of the press. And from the joyful dispatch on the subject, one might gather that the boya knocked a lot of the sunlight out of him. r SAYS UNCLE GAV A good many men, who are afraid of being slaves, should rather be afraid of being useless. For myself, I had rather be a valued bond servant than a worthless freeman. The supreme curse is the inability or unwillingness to work. "Thank God for work!" cried one of the san est and most successful men I ever knew. "It keeps me from going crazy." And there is more philosophy in that fervent outcry than in all the Dirturesaua lunacies of the bitter Nietzsche, who declared that "who- soever has not two-thirds of the day to himself Is a slave no matter what he may be otherwise." Most of us have a dangerous delu sion in regard to freedom in the Nietz scheian sense. We work only as much as we are compelled to work, and re lease from the tasks which we are wont to say enslaves us would result in an immediate degeneration into parasitic idleness. xne avei&se mni who has two-thirds of the day "to himself" is useless all day. And not tia irppniniia "Nietzche. with the cunning born of his own peculiar mad ness, has attempted to tell us how one may be useless and nappy. He who fears becoming a slave to his daily task has a better remedy than fleeing from it. Freedom lies not in escaping toil, but in conquer ing it. It is not to be won by with holding the hand, but by approving it not bv hating, but by embracing. Whoso gives his all to toil, intelli gently, gladly and lovingly, is not slave, but master. He becomes the driver, not the driven; not the mere passed instrument, but the directing genius. There is freedom in the proper breaking of stone; there is dominion in the digging of ditches. Whoso stamps the work of his hands with his own personality; whoso puts en thusiasm into it, and joy, suffuses it with that bloom which is art, and the artist in wood or iron or marble or mud, whether his handcraft be called house, picture or ditch, is the lord of no mean domain the master of things and men. Upon your at titude toward your task depends, and upon that oniy, .w"'"""""' whether you be free or bond. If your toil bear you aown, you i .i vmi ore erenius. And by this token, Nietzsche and all hia tribe of toil-terrified neurasthenics should have sought physicians rmhiishers. (Copyrighted 1912 by W. E. Williams.) GLOBE SIGHTS BY THE ATCHISON GLOBE. It Is getting so that if a man says any thing he talks too much. Strength is desirable In Its place, but that isn't on the butter dish To the average man, a water meter looks like a penalty on cleanliness. Visits like lectures and presidential messages, are apt to be long enough. A man usually celebrates his vacation by smoking so much he can't rest. A social favorite must feel tough to think he has to get to work on time. Some men who seem important wouldn't if they didn't have a private office. Failure to sneeze when one has a hunch in that direction, is a Great Dis appointment. Some people are so grasping they want to realize on an Investment before they make it. Victory doesn't make a rebellion a suc cess: what comes after must be an im provement to do that. So many fools have money that parting them from it will continue to be a profitable occupation. Some women marry fr money, and others wed Nat Goodwin and get di vorced for the same purpose. Be it ever so good, no man enjoys a din ner so formal he doesn't know which fork or spoon to tackle first. Our notion of nothing to worry about Is sleeping accommodatteaa for delegates to a political convention. HER TALENT. Neither wise nor yet discerning. All her little store of learning Consisted of such trifles as she had learned by chance. In her talk she was not witty, And you couldn't call her pretty. Yet she never lacked admirers nor for partners at a dance. In face and form this fairy Was well, very ordinary; Her clothes were inexpensive the women called them loud; But at every ball and party Her reception was most hearty i rom the men, who all would gather about her in a crowd. She was tiny and soubrettish, And just a bit coquettish. But for music, art and :s she had no gifts at all. Her fortune was most meager, Yet all the men seemed eager, On the slightest provocation at her little feet to fall. Her cooking was atrocious It would make a man ferocious; But by men this girl was voted a most engaging elf. es, every man who knew her Persistently would woo her For she gave him rapt attention while he talked about himself. Chicago News. j) THE EVENING STQRy A Girl of Yesterday. (By Martha McCulloch Williams.) "It's 'no use not the least." Dora said despondently, though ner lips curled faintly "Wear that thing to the Marstons! I won't. That's flat. I don't expect, of course, to have things like other girls but this once well it seems to me, if father "Shut up I" Prudence, her elder, worn and worried, said imperatively. "Nag me all you want to, but leave father out. The salt of the earth that's what he is so good I don't see how he can have a flirty, flighty child such as you." Dora was used to such sisterly amenities. There were just the two of them father did not count. Un lucky, mild, the soul of honor, he had a talent for losing whatever he ven tured, so had ceased from venturing not quite voluntarily, to be sure. Squire Hexly, his wife's father, had tied up his daughter's portion, so it inured solely to the benefit of the two girls. It was safely invested so safe ly the Income was mighty slender. Hence the chafings of Dora and Prudence's careworn face. Prudence lved her father passion ately because she understood him. The fine fibre that made it impossible for him to be shrew and money-making seemed to her the most wonder ful thing in the world. She petted him undemonstratively chiefly in the way of cooking what he liked, ex actlv as he liked it. Further, she made Dora keep the peace mainly by giving the young lady much more than was equitably hers. But she had refused the new party dress, firmly and spent herself on refurbishing an old one. Dora had already spent much more than her share of the joint income and Prudence was bent upon buying her father a new greatcoat he had needed one for two winters at least. Commonly, she either coaxed Dora out of the sulks, or ended them by herself giving in. This time she did neither. Instead, she nonchalantly took up her shears, saying over her shoulder. "If you are so set against this dress, I know a girl that'll be glad to have it. It only needs a lit tle shortening and a bit off the waist measure to make it fit. Elinor Lee "She shan't have it it's my dress even if I don't mean to wear it," j Dora flashed out. "Hateful thing! She'd feel fine as Friday though she knew everybody was laughing at her, because she had on my cast-off clothes." "You don't want them to laugh at her I suppose," Prudence said argu mentatively. Dora gave her a withering look say ing, "You know I don't want her to go. She's so uppish, and forward always pushing herself into everything." "I say she's nice always trying to help along. Tastes differ," Prudence countered loftily, still clutching the shears. "As you say this is your frock. Wonder if I haven't got some thing that might do for Elinor? There's my graduating dress you turn up your nose at it but those old-fashioned rosebud silks are coming back again." "Give it to her and welcome if she comes in it, she will be worse than a laughing stock," Dora said scowl ing. Prudence turned sharply on her. "You're my blood whether or no," she said. "Don't let a beau, more or less, make you so mean and hateful. You're afraid Elinor will cut you out with Tazewell Gray. I hope she won't he's the best chance you'll ever have but you won't. get him by being so despicable. Ha has eyes that see deep er than a pretty face even if it is yours." "Yet you won't help me," Dora snuffed, hiding her eyes. "You know how particular he is that's why I must have something new- "You can't! That's the word with the bark on it," Prudence retorted. "But if you'll be sensible, I'll drape my lace shawl over this green satin and then nobody will know it isn't rie-bt Rtrn-ie-ht from the citv I It was an enormous sacrifice made in .the interest of peace and matri mony. Dora knew it the lace shawl was; next to her conscience. Pru dence's most cherished possession, an heirloom, fine and costly, descended from a great grandmother, to whom fine and costly things were not rare. It would give distinction to any frock. Instantly, Dora was smiling. She even patted her sister's hand, saying, "O, but you are clever, Prue. I won't be naughty again for a whole month." Then the two fell to work with the result that Prudence had time next day to fit the rosebud silk to slight, pretty Elinor Lee and feel more than rewarded by the girl's shy yet genuine gratitude. "You you are better than a fairy godmother, Miss Prue," she said. "Because this beautiful frock won't turn to rags even if I do dance on past 12 o'clock." The Marston dance reached almost the dignity of a ball. Dora was easily the belle of it tall and dashing, vivid in color, mobile of face, she caught every eye. The transfigured green satin became her as no other gown had ever done. It swathed her slen der, curving shape modestly, yet al luringly. Because she knew she was looking her best, she was at her best until the unexpected happened. Elinor was unaccountably late in coming. Truth to tell, she has come long before the rest, and spent the interval in helping kind Mrs. Mars ton with the fine, last details of sup per. She had been wise enough to rest afterward even to sleep a little while. As a result she came among the dancers dewy-eyed, and as rosily fresh as the flowers upon her frock. They had held color, and showed fine ly against a ground once white but now the softest cream. The low bodice had a lace bertha at top the frost work of it was caught lip in front with a knot of real pink roses. Ttnjr ruf fles fluffed over the foot of the full skirt. Truly, Elinor's feet, beneath, "like little mice, played in and out." Her mass of fair, wavy hair, simply parted, and coiled low, went beauti fully with the gown'a lines. Alto gether, she was a picture, the sweetest picture in all the world to one pair of eyes Tazewell Gray's eyes. He had hung about Dora half a year, all the while conscious of Eli nor's attraction. Commonly he had seen her in the world of workaday a fragment of the huge machine known as public education. Rosy and rose-beset, he knew her for what she was the woman of all the world to fill and crown his life. He strode toward her, forgetting all else. But before he came to her. Allan Muir had whisked her off in a waltz. Indeed, for a full hour he could not get near her. Outblooming the roses of yesterday, she put even Dora in the shade. Partners, the most finicky, the most eligible, swarmed about her her card was full in a twinkling. By way of keeping the peace she even parted dances between the young fellows she Knew nest. Tonwcll would bavp no SUCh Pait- nership. Audaciously, in the face of an eager partner, he drew Elinor out on the piazza to say: "Girl of vesterdav didn't flirt vou look the part are. you going to live up to it?" "No because I don't know how- Elinor murmured, drooping lightly to ward him. Then and there he kissed her. quite forgetting Dora. (Copyrighted, 1912, Associated Literary Press.) EVENING CHAT BY RUTH CAMERON. Two young friends of mine who had been keot aoart bv a foolish misunder standing for over two years, met the other day, explained away the misunder standing, picked up the romance where it had dropped, became engaged, and are now in a fair way to be nappuy marneu. And yet they are both grieving even in the midst of the happiness for the need lessly lost two years. I say "needlessly" because If one of these two had taken the pains to write half a dozen extra words on a certain occasion, the wretched misunderstanding would never have come about. And those extra words were simply his name and address, and they should have been writ ten on the outside of an envelope. When the two graduated from college about two years ago, the feeling of ad miration and attraction whichi each leit towards the other, had not been put into definite words. Much to her dellRht, how ever, he did ask permission to write, which was gladly granted. They ex changed several letters and then a letter of hers remained unanswered. She waited hopefully at first, and then as the long weeks grew Into months you know how long they can be when they are measured by the painfully longed for, but sickenlng lv disappointing visits of the postman she simply decided that his silence meant he was weary of the friendship and the correspondence, and tried to forget him. Meanwhile he. on his side, had inter preted her failure to respond to his letter as a sign that she was weary of the cor respondence and the friendship and he had tried to forget her. How came it that there were two un answered letters? Why simply in the usual wav. He had made a slight mistake in the address, and his letter, not having anv return address on the envelope, had been sent to the dead letter office. Now neither met anyone who seemed to fi:l the place of the lost friend, and for tunately the chance meeting cleared away the trouble, and they are to be married, and, I suppose, to live happily ever after wards, but I fancy a great many misun derstandings which begin just that way are never cleared up. Just the other day I chanced to meet a woman who some months ago offered to do me a favor. I accepted her kind offer and wrote her a letter regarding the mat ter. I never heard from her again and suposed she had ehaneed her mind. Our chance meeting brought about explana tions, and I found that she had answered my letter, but I never received the an swer. Naturally she. as well as I. was wondering at the silence. And that would have been avoided If she had had her name and address on the outside of her letter. Again I wrote twice to a treasured friend and both times made a careless mistake in the address. I had no answer. I was Just deciding that the correspon dence was no longer welcome when my letters came back to me, making every tlhng clear. Just yesterday a girl told me of a Christmas gift which went adrift in this way and of a trrieved and puzzled friend. I don't doubt that every day just such misunderstandings arise. Of course, there are times when letters mysteriously dis appear even when safeguarded in this way, but I know these occasions are in finitely few. The return address is letter Insurance. The time you take in writing it, or the monev spent to have it printed, id the premium you pay. The. security against misunderstanding is the value you re ceive. And from all I've heard and exper ienced in this direction, I can assure you it's decidedly worth while insurance. ADVERTISING TALKS BY WILLIAM C. FREEMAN Mr. Lewis H. Clement, whose acquaint ance I first made when he was an active spirit in an effort to suppress puzzle contests In piano advertisements, has established a record in Toledo,' Ohio, In his connection with the Whitney Cur rier Co. This house has been in business fifty two years. Its business was operated suc cessfully by following the usual methods that is, an occasional special sale but they never harmed their reputation by not making good. They had as full a measure of confi dence as any piano concern in the west. Mr. Clement, when he went there, had some fixed ideas about the management of a piano business, and the board of di rectors of the company gave him full swing to act as he saw fit. One of his ideas was that one price, and that as low as possible, was the proper way in which to run a business, eo, starting fifteen months ago the Whit ney Currier Co. established a one price system. The results have been very gratifying. The elimination of special sales for the first few months discouraged some of the salesmen, and the business' did not thrive as quickly as wss expected, but all were agreed to stick to the plan of operation. They did and finally won out. In November the business Increased W per cent over November, 1910, and in De cember it increased 8 per cent over De cember. 1910. Mr. Clement recently took a full-page advertisement to explain to the readers of Toledo newspapers the methods adopt ed by piano advertisers who did not sell according to the Golden Rule. He explained wherein some of the piano announcements were deceptive, and how they fleeced the public. It was an edu cational advertisement and was very ef fective. As an illustration of the confidence established in Toledo by this firm a lady telephoned to the store, said she wanted a piano and that all she could afford to spend was $300. She said, "If you will send a man to my house I will give him $300 and will leave it to you to select a piano at that value, feeling sure that what you will sell me will be all right." This is an unusual happening and is the direct result of doing business in the right way. (To be continued.) POST-SCRIPT ISN'T A CANDIDATE Statement Given Out by tJov.

Little Lola was contemplating the anatomy of the turkey at the Thanks giving feast, and asked suddenly: "Mamma, do people have wishbones, too?" "No. dear," was the reply. "Well," she continued, "do turkeys have everything they wish for?" Bobby, aged 5. had spent the greater part of Thanksgiving afternoon com mitting the Lord's prayer to memory.

Before the meal was finished Gates called for Olivier, the head waiter. John never did suc ceed in getting that man's name right.

I told Gates he was foolish, and that he w spoiling things for the rest of us. hut he guessed he knew what he was do ing." New York Sun. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. tFrom the Chicago News. Most politicians expect plums ard get lemons. If Ananias were living today he would have lots of competition. A political dark horse is a nightmare to the others in the race. Evervthing comes to him who waits including all kinds of hard luck. The young man who ssks a girl for a kiss wastes a lot of valuable time. It's awfullv hard for nn honent man to looked an outlawed debt in the face. Money isn't everything, but nearly ev erything worth while represents money. Lots of things would go without saying If women would give them half a chance. Take care of your pennies nnd the chances are your dollars will be blown in by your heirs. Every time a young man rails on a (tlrl during leap year she thinks he thinks she will propose. A man may be grateful for what he re ceives but It is difficult for him to be thankful for things that are withheld. When we encounter a man who Is long on words and short on works we wonder how much his wife earns by taking In washing. REFLECTIONS OF A HACKELOR. From the New York Kress. Tempers are the devil s gilt-edged re curitles. Having money never mane any holy as happy as not having it makes everyboJy unhappy. A girl Is very sure a man Is in enrnest with her when she will prtnd not to be with him. A man thinks he srets a girl to marry him. but the recording angel scores the winning run for her.

Itaw Manager Has Signed Many Young Players. Mr. a. H. Hubbard. 115 W. 5th et.. city, made the following statement re cently in connection with "Tonta Vita" the new tonic that is now being in troduced in Topeka by specialists at the Arnold Drug Company, 523 Kan sas avenue, he said: "I have been sick for some time I tried a number of remedies without relief. I suffered principally from stomach trouble and nervousness. "I slept poorly and Biy sleep did me very little good. I was dreadfully tired most of the time and never felt well a moment, but was always ner vous and despondent. I seldom had a good appetite and when I did eat any thing I would feel bloated and suffer lor some time afterwards. "About ten days ago I got some 'Tona Vita' and have never seen any thing like it. From the very beginning I felt the good effects of this tonic and I now feel for the first time in eeveral months, like a well, healthy man. I now seem to get nourishment from my food, and no longer have stomach trouble or feel tired or de pressed. I think it remaj-kable to Have got back my former health and strength." The specialists who are here intro ducing "Tona Vita" are giving demon strations of what the preparation will do. All day long between the hours of 9 a. m. and 8 p. m., at the store where they are located, they meet cal lers, and try to produce a noticeable improvement in all cases of nervous debility within five minutes. The peo pie who take the tonic to be the judges. There is no charge for this demonstration. 'Tona Vita' is breaking all records tn Topeka," said one of these special ists. "The people here are rapidly awakening to a full appreciation of what the preparation will do for them and the sale is very large," continued he. "We are instructed by our com pany to take no money for the tonic unless it proves satisfactory. Hun dreds upon hundreds in this and oth er large cities are afflicted with ner vous debility caused by the strain of metropolitan life. The entire system becomes run down in such cases and nervousness, stomach troube, head aches, backache, despondency and loss of vitality result. 'Tona Vita' will work wonders in such cases in a re markably short time. It it doesn't we want nothing other than the time it takes to come and get the tonic." Holland Draws Enough Recruits to Interest Fans. Without saying that fans are fickle it is a safe declaration that they like to see new faces. Of course they dis like to see the trading of tin; popular idol for a now ai;d untried player but when a team fails in its efforts to clinch the pennant they dislike to see the team start the next season with the same crew of players. And the mana gers realize this feeling and cater to it more or less. Some really dependa ble ball player3 have been lost to cer tain teams t.s a result. At ot-her tiznes positions have been strengthened by the importing of an unknown merely for the purpose of salving sore spots on the fan body. And then managers are often censured by the men who atteun ball games because a popular idol is solrl when the manager proves later that his judgment is better than that of the men who know baseball from only one side. "Witness the sale of Fenlon to Louis ville by Cooley. Fenlon was playing the best game of ball he had ever put cn. He was hitting and fielding well and seemed to be getting along nicely with the base running proposition. Lou isville was in the throes of a close championship fight and needed a slug ger. Cooley told the Kentucky owners he had a man who would hit. Fenlon was traded for Kunkel, Keillyland some money. Keiily has proved to be a good player and is playing better ball now than he did for Cooley. Kunkel was an average third sacker who finally ended in grief here. Fenlon was so.u to Sioux City the next year and start ed off well. But where is Fenlon now? Last year he finished in a league lower than the Western in class and it is reported to the local management that old man Booze has him signed to a life contract. Artinsr on the theory that the Kaw fans want to see new faces in the bail lot Gear is signing a lot of them, tie is trying to get good ones as well as new ones ena the last years misnus, will be disposed of. Three or four of the men who fought throughout the season even when they Knew tne posi tion of the team could not be changed will probably be kept unless faster and more dependable ones are found. But there will be new faces galore when the season opens. K. V. HAS A HI CLE CI. I B. Terliaps School Will Call Shooting Sport anil Buy Ammunition,. Lawrence, Kan., Jan. 26. The rifle club of the University of Kansas is holding a series of matches with some of the western universities which are members of the National Rifle Asso- ciatlon of America. The qualifications for the rifle club here are a clear eye, steady hand and a small amount of money to cover the cost of ammuni tion. It is probable that the athletic association will provide ammunition some time if the riflemen are able to convince Manager Hamilton that shooting Is really a sport which should be placed in the category of univer sity sports. "Unlike other athletic and oratorical events the teams representing the re spective schools may compete although a thousand miles away. The scores I are sent in to the war department at Washington, the scores compared, and the results announced later. STARTS OX A. A. SCUEDIXE. 168 Three Trip Plan Will Bo lTsed on Games.

He plans to have it com pleted within three weeks and will then submit it to the club officials for adoption by mail vote. The season will start April 11 and 168 games will be scheduled. Each club will make three trips around the circuit instead of four which was given a trial last season. Pitcher Slapnicka, whom President Murphy of the Chicago National league club sold to Louisville yester day, will make his second appearance in the American association. He start ed the 1911 season with Toledo and remained until May 17, when Presi dent Armour of the Toledo club sent him to Rockford in the Wisconsin-Illinois league for more training.

Manager Harry Wolverton of the New York American league baseball club, is still hunting a catcher. He returned to Xew York after a week's scouting trip with the discouraging news that all his schemes to procure a good backstop had thus far come to naught. He professes, however, to have his eye on a good catcher "who will be a great help to the team," but he re fuses to divulge the name because it might block the deal. Xew York, Jan. 26.- Fire this morning routed the members of the family of Paul A.

The board usually hears a number of cases and then votes on them. The members refuse absolute ly to tell those they recommended. However, the names of those who have appeared before the board are given out. The parole officer refuses to tell the ones eligible for parole. When the session is ended, R. V.

Manhattan, Kan., Jan. 26. Twenty thousand dollars has come to the agri cultural college from an unexpected source. President Waters was notified yesterday by the Old Colony Trust company of Boston that that amount had been willed the college by Mrs. Mehitable C. C. Wilson. The money is to be for a building to be erected under the direction of the regents, to be known as Wilson hall, or mav be added to the present endowment fund of the college, as the J regents may desire. It is more than likely that a dormi tory for girls will be suggested by the regents, although the will makes it possible to use the money for any building called Wilson hall. Mrs. Wilson died only recently. She was the widow of Davies Wilson, an owner of much of the original site of Manhattan. The family lived Hi this city many years ago. Bryan Accepts a Presidency.

A single exception is made in this tatement. There is one man whose conduct amazed and irritated Mr. Morse. He had made it possible tor this man to speculate to great advan tage. And yet this one person seemed Mr. Morse to be particularly vin dictive. Of all the others he was ac customed simply to say. "Well, I sup pose it is human nature: every man has to look out for himself." Furthermore, his counsel. even. never received any coniioennai iinui mation which was in the nature of ac- usation against any other person. JYir. Morse sometimes said that he was no banker himself and that he expectea his salaried subordinates to Keep mm nformed, to tell him what was proper and what was improper. let, ne as serts, not one of them ever did that. Sometimes there were recollections of the day of great prosperity. tie was then a prince and he naa many suitors for favors. His orrices weie rowded with men who were anxious to take advantage or inrormaiiui! ips or opportunities. OT au tnose w uu offered to come to Mr. Morse s assist ance after his arrest, financially or in the way of sympathy, with a single exception not one was of the large number of those who found it profit able to be associated with Mr. Morse In his day of prosperity. A Mental Obloquy, fin. nueer feature of the case which .,,iori hiss counsel and which none of his friends was able to explain was the fact that Morse never reauzeo. strength and prevalence of the .ntoiini, x-)-iwVi he had eaineu. knew, of course, that he was not liked by some business men, but ne aunuui- ed that feeling to business compEii tion. He could not understand why it was not. reerarded as a wise mine Ti.it witnesses upon the stand ,1,1 tatifv tn his irood reputation Former Congressman j-,iitieueiu, vi.u was counsel for Mr. morse ai me Lime ti-ial became convinced that Morse never had the slightest idea that he had done anything wnicn u aa n violation of the criminal statutes. This characteristic was observea u.v many others who were brought into close relation with Mr. Morse. They discovered in it, as they thought, a strange sort of mental obliquy or hlinHnooo and n. CUriOUS iaCK OI mOHl i i V. .i t Vi n sense. But tney uruevru V i was no hypocrisy. Mr. Morse believed that he was playing the great game of; fortune making exactly as otner sue- cessful business men played it, men, too, who had good reputations, and against whom the prophecies of the law were never brought. From the day of his trial and conviciton to tne time he was sent to the federal pris on he could not understand why he had been singled out. Since Mr. Morse's release it has Deen irequcmij said in this city that wnatevei ins moral or mental obtusenest may have been there was one cnaracierisnc in which he differed, somewhat, from other men who have been under sus picion or charges.

Draining Florida Everglades. Within three weeks of the time of the opening to tranic oi nciiij oversea railroad a nmsi u"p' r, and national work in southern Florida will be completed. Mr. Flagler predicted with accuracy when, late In December, he said that he expected the first train upon the oversea railroad would enter Key West not later than the 22nd of Jan uary The establishment at Key West of a railway terminal is regarded by busi ness men here as an almost epoch-making event, especially in view of the fact that the Panama canal will, in all probability, be opened to navigation some time with in the next eighteen months. Supplementing the great railway con struction which Mr. Flagler single hand ed undertook and has now completed the state of Florida and the national govern ment, together with private capital, have been approaching Lake Okeechobee both from the west and from the east coast ot Florida. Information which was received this morning states that the giant rirederes which have been now for a year or two occupied in making a navigable channel in the Caloosahatchee river, ao that navigation between Lake Okeechobee and the western coast of Florida can be secured, will have completed their worlc about the 15th of February. As a result of this dredging and canalizing of the up per reaches of this river vessels of mod erate draught will be able to pass from the gulf coast of Florida to the Atlantic coast. This great engineering feat will in some respects rank with the unique en j gineering compassed by men of science whom Mr. Flagler has employed to ex tend his Florida East Coast railroad from the mainland by means of viaducts and bridges whose supports are upon the coral reefs of Key West. In fact, Mr. Flagler has greatly stimulated and aided the dredging and canal construction work by means of which navigable communi cation between Lake Okeechobee and the Atlantic coast can be secured. Their work will make possible the reclamation of the Kverglades of southern Florida. This reclamation furnished the financial or economic reasons for the support given by the state of Florida to this public work. State Owns the Lands. The state is the owner of great tracts of land which, after reclamation, will be opened to sale. The expectation is that ultimately the sale of these lands will re pay the state for the great public work which it is now doing in southern Florida and. in addition, serve as a considerable yearly income until the lands are all dis posed of. As the Caloosahatchee river Is a navi gable stream- for some part of its dis tance from the coast, at least as far a3 Fort Myer, the federal government be lieved that unless the undertaking were too expensive or too risky the govern ment would be justified in dredging the river above Fort Myer and canalizing it to Lake Okeechobee. Two of the largest dredges owned and operated by the fed eral government have been at work upon the upper readies of the river for several years. Notwithstanding the fact that oy the middle of February this year naviga tion for vessels of moderate draught will be possible by means of the canals to Lake Okeechobee and the canalizing and dredging of the Caloosahatchee river from the Atlantic to the Gulf of Mexico across lower Florida, yet the work un dertaken by the government engineers is not ended. Eventually ten feet of navi gable water will be secured from Lake Okeechobee to Fort Myer, and that is re garded as a sufficient depth for vessels which would be likely to use these arti ficial waterways. Florida After Iand tirafters. What the state of Florida is particular ly concerned about at the present time Is the disposition of promoters, land specu lators and unreliable persons to take ad vantage of the opportunity now opening in southern Florida to tempt immigra tion. The state will, as far as is possi ble, see to it that all persons who are now thinking of buying land in Florida receive good information upon the au thority of the state itself or of its repre sentatives so that they may make their purchase of land with their eyes open and not become victims of land specu lators.

And it will always be regarded as an extraordlnary thing that at almost exactly the date of the completion of Mr. Flagler's railroad, whereby Key West Is made a railway terminal, the state of Florida and the en gineers of the federal government and some private capital have actually opened up a navigable waterway across the southern part of Florida whereby coast ing vessels can pass from the Atlantic coast to the Gulf of Mexico probably without cost. There certainly will be no tolls for that part of the passage which includes Lake Okeechobee and the cana. ized Caloosahatchee river. HOLLAN D. SUIT ON OLD BONDS Effort to Make County Pay for nail road Never Built. Kansas Citv. Jan. 26. John K. Maddox, county clerk of Dallas county. Mo., ap peared before Judge A. S. Van Valken burg in the federal court here today to answer a suit against Dallas county to compel it to lew a tax of $70,500 to apply on railroad bonds of $1SOO.OOO issued in 1S6S and now held by eastern capitalists. The road for which the bonds were is sued was never built. Since the suit was 'filed in December. 1911. by David Yost of Philadelphia and others, the Dallas county officials have avoided service, pa pers were served upon the county clem by a Kansas City girl, a deputy United States marshal, who trapped Maddox by posing as a book agent. The railroad for which the bonds were issued was never built. Recent attempts upon the part of the deputy marshal to serve a subpoena upon the assessor of Dallas county have failed. IT WAS SURE DEATH Only One Ivesult Could Follow Starvation Treatment. the Seattle, Jan. 26. With the examina tion of two more physicians who gave expert testimony concerning the effect of a starvation diet on the human sys tem, the state expected to rest its case today in thi trial of Mrs. Linda Bur field Hazzard, charged with having starved to death Miss Claire William son, a wealthy English woman. Miss Williamson died after having been un der Mrs. Hazzsrd's treatment two months and m days and two months after her death her sister Dorothea was removed from Mrs. Hazzard's sani tarium a living skeleton. Dr. Charles H. Finney and Dr. Geo. B.

Says Country Needs Schoolmaster, Kansas Democratic Leader. Kansas City, Jan. 26. Woodrow Wilson was given a boost for the Dem ocratic nomination for president by George H. Hodges, of Olathe, Kan., at the Southwestern Lumbermen's con vention. Applause greeted his state ment made preliminary to his address, "The Rights of the Retail Lumber men." "I was requested to fight shy of pol itics in my remarks," said Mr. Hodges, who was the Democratic leader in the Kansas state senate last winter. "And I will religiously endeavor to do so. But I will say I agree with R. A. Long in his remarks yesterday that there are ills that affect this country which are in need of Democratic rem edies. Mr. Long suggested that Gov ernor Harmon was the man to give the medicine. I disagree with him there. The country needs a masterly operation, and I name AVoodrow Wil son as the man to perform it in the White House." THE CATS COME BACK. Welcomed Once More Into Soldiers Home Barred From Fort. Leavenworth, Kan., Jan. 26.- Black cats, white cats, grey cats, torn cats and all other members of the feline family are coming into their own in Leavenworth again. After more than a year of exile they once more are be ing admitted to the Soldiers' Home reservation. But they are still excluded from Fort Leavenworth. In the fall of 1910, Brig. Gen. Fred erick Funston, then in command of the Fort Leavenworth reservation, banished all cats from its confines. Following the example of General Funston, Governor Sidney G. Cooke of the Soldiers' Home, shortly after ward exiled the cat family from the reservation under his jurisdiction. But Gov. Cooke is a kind-hearted man. The recent extremely cold weather perhaps made him regret his action in banishing the cat from the confines of the Home. He has recall ed his order and all this week the fe lines have been trooping back to the national military home, -where the word 'welcome" once more appears above the gate. GOLD ASKS FOR REASONS.

Iieavcmvorlh Jurist Separates Many ITnliappy Couples. Leavenworth, Kan., Jan. 26. A hun dred and three couples were divorced by Judge Wendorf during the year 1911. A great many petitions in di vorces are filed in the district court of this county. Nearly every week there are two or three petitions filed in the clerk of court's office. Many of the cases are drawn and some are settled out of court. Those whose cases came on for trial appear to have good cause for seeking separation, for in every case tried during the year a de cree was granted. Of the 103 divorces granted only 28 were srranted to husbands. This would appear to indicate that, marriage is a failure tt the the wives one time in four.

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL JANUARY 1912 28; A Blessing to Rheumatic Sufferers "Last winter was the first time in twenty years that I did not have an attack of rheumatism," said a man who was recommending Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for this pain ful disease. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People do the only thing that will permanently cure rheumatism. They build up the greatly thinned blood and purify and cleanse it of every trace of the rheumatic poison. They are invaluable both during an attack of the disease and during the inter vals between attacks. If you have already passed through one or more sieges of the disease, it is advisable to not wait for an attack before using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills but to start taking them now and prevent a return of the trouble. Don't be satisfied until you have thoroughly cleansed your blood, for until this is done you will never be free from rheumatism. Rev, P. J. Harrell, of No. 1716 Xorth 7th street, Waco, Texas, says: "I suf fered intensely from rheumatism. From eiphteen to twenty-one I was an in valid, the larger part of the time confined to my room, a great part of that time unable to move myself. The cause of the rheumatism was probably ex posure to cold and rainy weather. My arms many times were so stiff they cculd not be moved without extreme pain. My hips were affected also. A large part of the time that T was sick my feet would swell until I could not wear shoes or soft slippers of any kind. All the money that I could pet would be spent for medicine, liniments of all kinds, everything that was recommended for rheumatism, but nothing seemed to help me. An old lady who had been cured of rheumatism heard of my case and came several miles to see me and recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I had not taken the pills very long before I was sure they were helping me. After taking the con tents of fourteen boxes I was entirely cured and have not suffered from the effects of rheumatism since, which is now over twelve years. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People were a blessinir to me and it is my hope that they ehall be to any sufferer who shall turn to them for relief." Start today to cure yourself with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. They are for sale by all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, upon receipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

California Fruit Growers" Exchange 192 North Clark Street, Chicago, I1L (ns) Trademark S7crybGdy Read tlie State Jonrnal Tables prepared by the bureau of rail way economics from the reports made by the railways for that month to the interstate commerce commission show that the business done by the railways of the United States in the month of November was somewhat less than th.) business done in November, 1910, when measured by the average per mile, the only baLis on which comparison can properly be made. The total operating revenues of rail ways include their receipts for freight and passenger transportation, for mail and express service, and for all other traific service rendered. The average receipts in November, 1911. for a little more than 90 per cent of the total mile- age of the country, were $1,054 a mile, I a decline of $18 a mile from the re ceipts in No-, ember, 1910. There was de crease in average receipts in both freight and passenger service. The de cline was unevenly distributed. The lines of the eastern part of the country show only a slight decrease for No vember, 1911, in comparison with No vember, 1910, while the lines in the southern section show a slight increase and the lines in the western section a falling off. In the total operating reve nue, the receipts for freight transporta tion represent 71.7 per ctnt and receipts for passenger transportation 20.8 per cent, the remai ider coming from mail, express and other sources. Operating expenses also show a lower average per mile of line. These include all costs of maintaining track and equipment, the cost of operating trains, of securing traffic and of administra tion, but do not include new construc tion. Expenditure for maintenance of tracks and buildings was reduced by an average of $2.40 a mile as compared with expenditure in November, 1910. For the maintenance of equipment there was an increase averaging 10 cents a mile; and the cost of conducting trans portation, an. item representing about one-half the total operating expense, was reduced by an average of 8 cents a mile. By the reduction in expendi ture for maintenance of track and buildings the roads were enabled to make a slight offset to the shrinkage in operating revenues. The net revenues, that is, the differ once between total operating revenues and total operating expenses, averaged $16 less per mile of line in November, 1911, than in .vovember, 1910, which ia a decre3.se of 4.3 per cent. This so called net revenue is, in fact, gross profits out cf which must come taxes, amounting in November to $9,6i6,9i6 or an average cf $43 a mile, rentals, in terest on bonds, dividends, and appro priations for improvements. The fall ing off of 1.6 per cent ir. operating rev--tnues contrasts with an increase of 12.7 per cent in taxes. ABILENE FKARS ROAD'S MOVE. If Rock Island Fipos Water to Hering ton It Would Kuin City Supply. Herington, Kan., Jan. 2 6. The bud get for 1912 for the Rock Island rec ommends that water be piped from the Sand Springs at Abilene or that Lime creek be dammed so as to provide for a water supply, says the Times. It is understood that the budget has con tained this recommendation for sev eral years. However, since all wa ter supplies were practically exhaust ed last summer and fall by the drouth, the company will no doubt give the matter more serious attention. It has been suggested by some that the city unite with the Rock Island in piping water from the Sand Springs. Bring ing water from that distance would of course cost an immense sum, and be fore either the city or road attempts it. they will investigate the project carefully. Abilene, Jan. 2 6. The three rail roads. Union Pacific. Santa Fe and Rock Island, have their rights of way just north of the springs and the water to the springs runs under this ground. Thev would have the right to sink wells and tap the vein if they desired. It has been rumored that if Abilene raises the water rate to the railroads to a figure above what pumping will rort the roads will put down a well at Pand Pnrings and get their own water. It might be disastrous to Abilene's water supply and there would prob ablv be a fight to stop it. A spring is a delicate concern to tamper with and a very little interference might change its course or ruin it entirely. Abilene better be watching this new move. ORIENT SURVEYS NEW .LINE.

Young Whittle was in the custody of a sheriff and it is claimed was burned to death when the car was destroyed by Are, because of his be ing held by the chains that bound him to the car seat.
