WIDOW WATCHfcS THE FLOOR Seeks to Learn From Convict Husband's Dying Words. Story of Chase and Death Re peated to Her. Springfield, Neb., March 2 9. The testimony of two of the principal witnesses in the inquest in the case of Roy Blunt, the young farmer who died from a gunshot wound in the bat- Ttoy Blunt, Killed in Chase, and Wi tie between escaped convicts and offi cers in the northern part of Sarpy county, was given today. They were Dr. B. B. Armstrong, the coroner, and Chief of Police Briggs of South Oma ha. The coroner said he had been un able to tell from the wound the cal ibre of the bullet which killed Blunt. Chief Bi-iggs. who led the officers, said the convicts were the first to open tire. He -could not tell whether r.ny one of the dead men was a victim of his bullets. The testimony of both witnesses oc- casionea irequent ciafiies uetwctu ttl i toineys for various persons interested. I Coroner Armstrong had to call the attorneys to order. Chief of Police Donahue of Omaha, with nineteen police officers of that city, were among the witnesses sub poenaed. County Attorney Jamieson consult ed with attorneys and officials and de cided no attempt would be made to disarm those present although it was known that many came armed. Members of the families of the dead man and his wife came in just before the proceedings were begun and were given seats near the jury. The young widow, almost oblivious of what was happening about her, sat with her evos on the floor. Almost by the break of day farmers- teams began to line up at the hitch racks in front of general stores of the village and the crowd began gathering in front of the jittle opera house, where is being held today the inquest ver the body of Roy Bl'int, innocent victim, ten days ago of a battle against three escaped convicts. Country roads hub-deep with mud did not deter them and every style of rig was pressed into service to bring to town the country folk. The morning trains also brought in half a hundred witnesses and spectators. The little opera house was well fill ed long before 10 o'clock, the hour set for the inquest. County Attorney Jameson of Sarpy county was present to assist in conducting the examination of witnesses. nearly fifty of whom had been subpoenaed. There was an array of legal talent, quite unusual at a coroner's inquest. These attorneys represent the widow end other relatives of the dead man. Every effort to fix the blame for the death of Blunt will be made and in case it should be found impossible to punish the officer who took Blunt's life, the widow will demand heavy damages from the state. Mrs. Blunt recently called upon the governor and was with him for some time. Both refused to discuss the visit, but it is known that the woman sought information as to what the state would do in the way of paying her for the husband who was taken rom her by the bullet of the over e;Jous officers. Seeks Message I-rom Husband. One of the most pathetic features of the present case is the effort of Mrs. Blunt to find some message from her husband. She visited the penitentiary in searcn or some wora irom tne man to whom she was married Christmas day. Morley, the only convict left alive, is in close confinement but was allowed to see the woman in the hope that he might have some message from her husband for her. He de nied that Blunt Fpoke after he was struck. Morley said the bullet which killed the young farmer came from the buggy in which an Omaha police officer rode. It was Mrs. Blunt who, more than anyone else, was responsible for the' capture of the convicts. When they demanded food she asked them if they could wait while she killed a chicken. They replied they could. She left the house and ran a mile to the nearest neighbor where the news that me f convicts were at her home was tel phoned to the officers.

AR.MS AMERICANS Government Sends Rifles to Residents of Mexico City. Shipment Is Made With the Approval of Madero. Washington, March 29. Acting Secretary of State Wilson today con firmed a report from Mexico City that all dependable Americans were to be armed for their own defense, fe He Married Christmas Iay. and other foreign governments were to take like safeguards. It was announced that Ambassador Wilson would distribute to the Ameri cans the 1,000 army rifles and re volvers now en route. The Mexican government- counte nances the arming of foreigners. President Taft waived the recent neutrality proclamation in the case of a shipment of arms which left New York yesterday. It is under stood the Mexican government would not assess duties against these arms or s-inst those beinar shioDed from European nations for the use of their subjects. Some of the details of a recent meeting of Americans in Mexico City to formulate plans for self protection were given out today. It was pro posed all Americans should be armed. The proposition was submitted to President Madero and he acquiesced and admitted it to be a necessary precaution against a rough element in Mexico City which would not hesi tate to take advantage of the dis patch of government troops from the capital. According to reports to the state department, unorganized robber bands in Durango have taken encour agement from the successes of Orozco in Chihuahua and it is feared they will become unmanageable should the federals in that state be with drawn for duty in other sections.- Nogales, March 29. Heavy losses were sustained by both sides and each claimed a victory in the battle be tween Mexican federals at Mazatlan. March 26, according to a letter re ceived here today from a railroad man at San Bias. The state of So nora generally is quiet now except for a few wandering bands of outlaws. All able bodied males in that state over 17 years old are liable to con scription at any time, it is said. The rifles shipped from New Pork are the 30-calibre Krag-Jorgensen maga zine guns which are no longer used by the army. One million rounds of am munition accompanied the shipment. While the guns are the property of the army ordnance department, and loaned to the state department for use in the Mexican capital, any one receiving a rifle there may purchase it for $6. TODAY IN CONGRESS. Senate Resumes Consideration of the Service Pension Bill. Washington, March 29. Senate in session 1:45 p. m. Resumed debate on service pension legislation which will be voted on before adjournment. Grand Army veterans urged before public buildings committee passage of Sutherland bill for memorial amphi theater at Arlington National ceme tery. lnteroceanic canal committee dis cussed Panama canal tolls.

Henry Al len, of the Wichita Beacon, spoke to a crowd of about 200 people in the Douglas county court house Thursday evening. The capacity of the court room is about 175 and there were pro bably 25 people who could not find seats. Mr. Allen was introduced by City Attorney James Mitchell. Henry Allen has many warm friends and ad mirers who like to hear him talk as was evidenced by the fact that about half of the audience were either Demo crats or Taft Republicans. A Roosevelt club was organized im mediately after the meeting and fully 75 per cent of the audience made a scramble for the exits as soon as Mr. Allen finished talking, not stopping in their haste to sign the Roosevelt rostei. Mr. Allen started his talk by telling of his first acquaintance of President Taft, when he (Allen) was the whole reception committee that went from Ottawa to meet Taft at Kansas City who was then secretary of war and escorted him to the Ottawa Chautauqua. He said that he thought that Mr. Taft had good company on that trip, ana that the reception committee did his best to entertain the secretary of war, but the secretary went to sleep on him hofnre thev eot out of the railroad yards at Kansas City, but he attributed the cause of Taft's sleeping to his "judicial temperament," and that his greatest objection to Taft was because he persisted in sleeping in the day time. Great, He Says, Is Roosevelt. Mr. Allen in his speech demonstrated the fact beyond a doubt that he is an apt pupil of Mrs. Lease, Jerry Simp son and Leedy. He sent a thriller through the audience when he declared with all the eloquence at his com mand that President Taft was the weakest president the United States ever had with a possible exception of Buchanan. According to Mr. Allen, Roosevelt is the greatest man in the whole world not even excepting "me und Gott." He credited T. R. with being responsible for all the good laws that have been passed in the last ten years, credited him with all the sunshine, ail the rain, the big wheat crops, all the rosy facea boys and girls who are under twelve years of age, and even proved by George Washington's farewell address that Teddy should have a third term. Roosevelt. Mr. Allen aid, was wholly law, the Pure Food and Dru act, the Panama canal, etc. He admitted that he had copied thirty-three things from the Roosevelt Press Bureau that Roose had done, but that he had left the copy on his desk at headquarters and that he had forgot all but fifteen of them, but he did remember the last three which was. rain, big wheat crops, and large families. Made Mistake on Taft. The only mistake in Mr. Allen's es timation that Mr. Roosevelt ever made. SICKLY' By HAL COFFMAN was when he made William Howard Taft president of the United States. The insurgent Republicans of Doug las county are very much discouraged over the Roosevelt situation and feel that they; are following a forlorn hope, and -it. was the opinion of many of them, after the- meeting that the vicious attacks on President Taft by Henry Allen had done -their cause more harm than good. And a number of them who are liberal Republicans, and whose first choice is Roosevelt, but who would support the ticket even if Taft were- nominated, did-not hesi tate to express their opinion in no un certain terms, about Allen's prophecy that there would be a Democratic president if Taft was nominated at the Chicago convention. The leading Democrats of Douglas county express the opinion that 'if Roosevelt could be nominated, that a maioritv of the county officers and the two representatives and senator would be theirs this fall. UP TO RAILROADS, Head of Enigneers Says They Must Stand Blame of Strike.' New York, March 29. Warren S. Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers, whose 25,000 members are taking a strike vote on the question of increased pay demanded of the eastern railroads replied today to a statement is-r sued last night by the railroad conference committee. This denies the railroads had based their refusal on the fact- that the interstate commerce commission would not permit increased freight rates. "I am glad to know from the railroad-managers themselves," said Mr. Stone today, "tnat low freight rates are not responsible for their refusal to grant our request ror in creased pay. This would indicate that the railroads are in a position to grant the request if they choose. Hence if they force the engineers to strike ana tie up traffic over half of the United States the fault will rest with the railroads." NO FLOOD SO FAR. Rain Must Send Kaw Twenty Feet Before. Danger Appears. Kansas -City, March 29. Although the Kansas river here rose 18 inches during the last 2 4 hours and ia as high as at any previous time this year, members of the local drjinage board said today that the river must rise 20 feet more before reaching an alarming stage. The Missouri river also is rising here, but it is causing no trouble. Many Kansas streams are very high but they will not overflow unless more rain falls. LOCK FRIENDS INSIDE Then Newly Weds Leave Home for Wedding Trip. Ithaca, N. T., March 29. In order to escape the rousing send off planned by their friends, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Cross, who were married last night, locked the wedding guests in on the third floor of the house of ex-Mayor Miller, the bride's uncle, where the wedding took place and made good their escape. The wedding guests were liberated ny a Cornell student who made a rope out of bunting and slid down to the ground. PAUL KLEIN WINS Tyler Street Boy Sold 3,079 Picture Show Tickets. Tickets for Monday "Wight's Show. Being Sold. Paul Klein of 2097 Tyler" street won the bicycle offered by the Central Cycle company in the pipe-organ-moving picture show ticket selling contest. This announcement was made today by the show committee of the Commercial club. It goes without saying that young Klein, who is 16 years old. was elated over his victory. He sold 3.079 tickets and worked hard in his effort to win the bicycle. "I sold most of the tickets in front of the Auditorium," he said today, "but something like 600 of them I sold at the Santa Fe shops. My record night was Tuesday when the Crystal theater gave the show. That night I sold 567 tickets. I could have sold more but my supply gave out." The standing of the three other lead ers follows: Elwood Lindemuth, 1160 Mulvane street. 2,509 tickets: Clyde Boruff, 506 Madison street, 2,336 tick etc; Joe Burge, 334 Topeka avenue, 1,733 tickets. At Work Selling- Monday Tickets. The second prize is a suit of clothes, the third prize a pair of shoes and the fourth prize a hat. A number of boys are already out selling tickets for the loving cup show which will be given Monday evening by the management of the Aurora theater. As is always the case in a contest there have been a few complaints as to the awarding of the loving cup, and the complaints have been directed towards the picture show committee of the i commercial club. This committee had nothing to do with the decision. Judges were chosen one or two of whom were not even members of the Commercial club and every effort was made to deal fairly. SEES TAFT VICTORY. Richard Croker trges Democrats to "Get Together." New York. March 29. "Get to gether." is Richard Croker s advice to national Democratic leaders, in a state ment on the political situation given out here following his arrival from Palm Beach, where he spent the win ter. He will sail for Europe next week. His statement says in part: "The Democratic outlook depends very much on whether the leaders adopt a harmonious policy. The fu ture is full of uncertainty when you consider the various factions that are working against one another, to the harm of the party. We never can tell what these factions may do, no mat ter how fair prospects may seem for success. Something may happen in a day that will ruin all. "I can say one thing, that unless the Democrats change their present methods and all work together. Presi dent Taft will defeat them. This is no time for disagreements and di visions." j HE IS WITH TAFT Colonel Roosevelt Endorses Position of the President On the Proper Manner of Re forming the Tariff. SHOULD BE A COMMISSION Whose Findings Should Guide Work of Revision. Advocates Protection for the Masses Instead of the Few. Albert Lea, Minn., March 29. Theo dore Roosevelt delivered an address here this afternoon on the tariff. Hid train stopped at Albert Lea for a bri-;f period on its way from Cedar Rapids to St. Paul. Col. Roosevelt spoke as follows: "On September 3. 1910, I spoke ah follows on the tariff at Sioux Falls having gone over the speech most care fully with my lamented friend, the late Senator Dolliver, whose ideas it ex pressed as well as my own: 'Whenever men just like ourselves possibly not much better, but proba bly not in the least worse continually (Continued on Page Two.) KILLED AT TABLE Lincoln Pen Scene of Another Murder by Prisoner. Indian Cuts Throat of Kegro at Breakfast. Lincoln. Neb., March 29. Convict Charles Davis, a half breed Indian, stabbed and almost instantly killed Convict John Strong, a negro, at the state prison this morning while the inmates of the prison were leaving the breakfast, table. When the. gong sounded to clear the convicts from the table, the prisoners arose in their seats. Strong suddenly leaped from his place onto the table in front bf him, ran 'down the aisle and out of the door into the cell house, his blood streaming from a gash in the throat. Guard Charles Berry leaped to the side of Davis, who was holding a blood stained knife in his hand, and arrestee: mm. 'the rest of ,the men filed out of the dining room in orderly fashion. Davis Threatened by Strong. Davis is said to have been frequent ly threatened by Strong and claims he killed the negro to save himself. Strong, who with a brother, was sent t the prison for second degree mur der, serving a life sentence, has a bad record, having frequently secreted a knife and used it on fellow convicts with whom he had a grievance. The half breed was seated directly behind the man he killed. Leaning over the interposing table he seized Strong by the throat and plunged the knife into it, drawing the blade back ward to the right ear. The windpipe and the large arteries were severed. Strong lived about fifteen minutes, breathingthrough the cut in his wind pipe. He was unable to speak. SPEAKING EN ROUTE. Colonel Roosevelt Makes a Short Talk at Cedar Rapids. Cedar Rapids, la..

CLAIMS IT ON SECOND BALLOT. Roosevelt Manager Says Nobody Is Seriously for Taft. Waterloo, la., March 29. Colonel Roosevelt made several short speeches from the rear platform of his car at stops through Iowa. At Cedar Rapids he reiterated his argument in favor of control of the machinery of govern ment by the people. At Vinton, Colonel Roosevelt said he was glad to be in Congressman Goode's district as he regarded the congressman as a "square man who favored the square deal." Alexander H. Revell of Chicago, chairman of the Roosevelt national committee who is traveling with Colonel Roosevelt, predicted that the colonel would be nominated on the second ballot at the Chicago conven tion.

Dumford 'ot Held for Drake Shooting. James Must Bear the Burden Alone. M NOT PRESENT Conductor ot Yet Able to Leave Hospifal. Bail Is Fixed at One Thousand Dollars. James Dumford was today held for the shooting of Joseph Drake, a street car conductor.' The court declined to hold William Dumford for trial in thu district court. Drake was unable to leave the hospital and did not attend the hearing in Judge Garver's court. Very few of the state's witnes3 were called to the stand today to testi fy in the preliminary hearing. Eye witnesses to the shooting were kept In reserve by the state and will not tell their story until the case is called in tlie district court sometime next month. The shooting of Drake occurred thi night of February 4, at the corner of Twelfth and Clay utreets, where Drake had stopped the car after ordering the Dumford brothers to vacate. Both men had been drinking and their loud and boisterous tones attracted the atten tion of the few passengers on the Sun day evening car. It was when women pa.-sen?ers became disturbed by thj language of the Dumforda that Draku ordered the men to be quiet. Then this men turned their attention to the con ductor, who was the victim of their abuse until the car reached Twelfth and Clay streets. Here the Dumforda were ordered from the car. It is claimed that before the men left their seat th;it James Dumford was seen to shift a revolver from one pocket to another. In the vestibule James Dumford renewed his abuse of the con ductor. As the piissengera left the car, James Dumford drew a revolver and fired. The shot struck Drake in th abdomen, puncturing the large Intestine in two places. After the shooting, the conductor was removed to Christ hos pital, where he has since been. He is improving slowly. After the shooting James Dumford was arrested at the home of a friend. The man was in bed when the officer arrived and after dressing. accom panied members of the police force to the station without resistance. Here Dumford begged Chief Jenkins to re lease William Dumford, declaring that he alone was responsible for the trou ble and would carry the burden. Several eye-witnesses to the shooting were in the court room this morning but were not called to the stand. The revolver with which Drake was shot was introduced in evidence. It is a 3:2 caliber, pearl handled gun and contain ed two loaded cartridges and one empty sheli. When it was announced that the state would reft its case, an effort was made by the defense to force the testimony of witnesses to the shooting, but tht court held against this necessity. There was no evidence connecting William Dumford with the' shooting and he whi discharged. James Dumford was held for trial in the district court and hi bond fixed at $1.00. .the amount origi nally required. WHOLE ARMY TO MOVE It Will lie Placed Along Mexican llor der in .April. Washington. March 29. The entire mobile army will be moved to the Mexi can border in April, according to state ments made by officers of tho general staff in Washington. So absorbed" is the administration in the situation that a gigantic map of Mexico has been suspended from tho wall of the cabinet room. Different colored slips of paper Im paled on tacks represent the variou armies and are moved about to corres pond with the movement of troops. The positions of these slips of paper indicated that a general attack of Mex ico City is imminent. Such an attack is viewed by the administration with the greatest alarm as it will be fol lowed by the wildest anarchy through out Mexico.

2 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOTTRHAE MARCH 29t 1912 HE IS WITH TAFT. J (Continued l-om Page 1.) fall to give us the results we have a right to expect from their efforts. w inay Just as well make up our mindj that the fault lies, not in their person alities but in the condition. under which they work,' and profit comes, not frora denouncing them, but from seeing thai the conditions are changed. This Is specially true of tariff making. "It has been conclusively shown, by experiments repeated again and again that the methods of tariff making by congress which .have now obtained for so man; years, cannot, from the ver nature of the case bring really satis factory results. With the present tariff made by the same methods as its pre r deeessor and as that predecessor's iredecessor there is grave dissatisfec tion. The people know that there -are some things in it which are not right, and therefore they tend to suspect the, as I think, more numerous things in it which are right. They- know that the system on which it was made en courages a scramble of selfish interests, to which the all-important general in terest of the public is necessarily more or less subordinate. "There was a time when this scram ble was regarded as the naturul course in tariff making and was not resent ed. The people demand and rightly, that the profit of the special Interests shall be subordinated to the general welfare in every case. Change the Methods. "'Very little improvement, indeed, will follow any attempt to -revise the tariff by methods hitherto used. The thing to do is to change the methods. 1 believe that this country is fully committed to the p."nciple of protec tion; but it is to protection as a prin ciple; to protection primarily in the in terest of the standard of living of the American working man. I believe that when protection becomes, not a princi ple but a privilege and a preference or rather, a jumble of privileges and pre ferences then the American people dis approve of it. Now to correct the' trou ble It is necessary in the first place to get in mind clearly what we want. What we want is what I have already said a square deal in the tariff as in everything else; a square deal for the .wage earner; a square deal for the employer, and a square deal for the general public. To obtain it, we must have a thoioughly efficient and well equipped tariff commission. The tariff ought to be a material issue and no a moral issue; but if, instead of a square deal, we get a crooked deal, then it becomes very emphatically a moral issue- 'What we desire in a tariff is such a. measure of protection as will equal ize the cost of production here and broad; and aa the cost of production is primarily labor cost, this means pri marily a tariff sufficient to make up for the difference in labor cost here and abroad. The American puoac wants the American laboring man put on an equality with other citizens so that he shall have the ability to achieve the American standard of living and the capacity to enjoy it; and to do this, we must see that his wages are not lowered by improper competition with inferior wage workers abroad. But the American public does not wish to see the tariff so arranged as to benefit pri marily a few wealthy men. For a Tariff Commission. 'As a means toward the attainment of the end in view.. Wo have as yet devised nothing in anyway so effec tive as a tariff commission. There should be a commission of well-paid experts, men who should not repre sent any special interest or industry, who should be masters of their sub jects, men of the very highest, char acter who should approach the matter with absolute disregard of every out side consideration. 'I don't want to see these men of one party or of one trade or another, but experts, single-minded in finding out and telling, the truth. These men ehould take up in succession each sub ject with which the tariff deals and investigate the conditions of produc tion here and abroad; they should find out the facts and report to con gress on each subject as soon as the subject has been covered. 'By these means log-rolling would be avoided, and each subject treated on its merits, while there would be no such shock to general industry as is implied in the present custom of making sweeping changes in the whole tariff at once. Finally, it should be the duty of some governmental de partment or bureau to Investigate the condition in the various protected in dustries and see that the laborers really are getting the benefit of the tariff supposed to be enacted in-their interest. Moreover, to secure good treatment abroad, we. should keep the maximum and minimum provision. Protect the Farmer. "There Is but little to add to what I have thus said. We believe this country is committed to the principle of the protective tariff, treated hon estly as a principle and not as a bun dle of preferences. "The prime need in any future re vision of the schedules is to protect the interest of the farmer;, and the wageworker. There must te no al teration of the tariff which compels the farmer to bear the whole burden. The welfare of the man who lives by tilling the soil is vital to the wel fare of the nation and everything that can strengthen him in his social and industrial life should be done. "In any manufacturing or mining or similar interest the welfare of the wage workers should be the prime test of the working of the tariff. While the wageworker is glad to have the employer get his full share of the prosperity, yet in return the wage worker has the right to insist, and we insist for him, that a- fatr- share of the prosperity gets down past the of fice to be distributed among the men who work with their hands." JACK KEEFE DEAD. Pugilist Dies After Stay of Month in Hot Springs." Hot Springs, March 29. Jack Keefe of Boston, pugilist, died here Thursday. Keefe had a wide acquaintance in pugilistic circles. He started as a lightweight and climbed into the wel terweight class by defeating :"Honey" Mellody. Ha came to Hot Springs from Chicago about a months ago PRISONERS "GO OVER ROAD."

Josiah Ross, a deputy sheriff, will have charge of the prisoners on the trip to Lansing. THROWS UP HIS HANDS Claude Allen Comes Out of the Brush and Surrenders. Hillsville. Va., March' 29. Starving, sleepless and fatigued, Claud Swanson Allen came out of the laurel thicket in the Blue Ridge, pointed two sixshooters to ward the sky and gave himself up to the posse which for nearly two weeks has hunted him. Complacent and almuv. happy, he sat last night, sheltered from a driving storm in the little brick jail, a stone's throw from Carroll county courc house, where on March 14. tbe Allen gang vensefully killed the judge, the prose cutor, the' sheriff, a juror, and a by stander. All day the posses, divided into small numbers, had been following a trail thought to be that of Wesley Edwards, a nephew of the Aliens. Claude Allen, tbfc sun of Floyd Allen, who was the cause of the further shooting had been given up as having escaped. Detective Lucas and four men were working toward Floyd Allen's house, when a figure creep ing stealthily through the undergrowth was dimly seen through the mist which overhung the mountain slope. Close be hind Lucas the other men brought their rifles to their shoulders when, to. their surprise. Allen stepped out into the road, his hands upraised, a pistol in each. In the presence of a detective, young Allen described his own part in the court house tragedy, admitted that he had seen Sidna Allen shoot and he himself had aimed for Clerk Goad's head four times. He told a graphic story of the assassinations. "I don't know who started the shoot ing, said Allen. "After it began, I shot four times at Clerk Goad and aimed lor his head every time. I saw Uncle SlUna shoot at somebody, but don't know whJ. When the shooting in the court house was over I went outside and saw Uncle Sidna on the ground shooting at Goad, so I shot at him, too. My brother, Vic tor, called to me to stop, but I had shot all my cartridges. Then we all went away. "I'm glad to get a chance to come in," he said. "I haven't been in bed since the shooting. I'm hungry." The young mountaineer swung in be tween the men of the posses and they started back to Hillsville.

Judge Rosalsky is still being congratulated by his friends upon his narrow escape in the bomb explosion recently, when Inspec tor Owen Eagan was injured while opening a box received at Judge Rosal sky's home by special delivery mail. The above is the first picture of In spector Eagan and Wolf Berman, who is held as a suspect of having sent the bomb to Judge Rosalsky. The judgo has recently been much in the lime light due to his decision some years ago in the much-talked of Brandt case: find it is thought that, in some way, through this publicity, he was singled out as a victim of this bomb outrage. The bomb is one of the most scien tific and deadly known in the annals of bomb construction. It is owing to Judge Rosalsky's knowledge of bombs that he was not blown to atoms and the lives of the members of his family taken. When the box came to his home it was laid, together with othei TWO FOR ROOSEVELT. Two More for Taft in Indiana But Uninstructed. Indianapolis, March 29.

The convention adopted the resolutions of the state convention which instructed tho delegates for Taft but Porter and Bryson declared they would vote for Roosevelt. Harold Hobbs and E. C. Toner were elected at the Eighth district convention at Winchester and instructed for Roose velt. HE REPLIES TO T. R. Taft Manager Says Colonel Is Misin formed or Speaks Falsely. Indianapolis, March 29. John R Kealing, one of the Taft managers in Indiana, in a public statement here replied to Colonel Roosevelt's charge in his Chicago speech that "The Keal ing machine fraudulently unseated 200 delegates to the state convention which instructed four delegates at large for Taft." "Colonel Roosevelt is either grossly misinformed or is deliberately stating an untruth," said Kealing. "We con tested only fifteen seats and the Roose velt people contested 150, among them the seats of 127 delegates from the Indianapolis district who had been elected at primaries by a 4 to 1 vote. We simply prevented these legally elected delegates from being unseated. "The Roosevelt faction knew the Taft pedple had a majority in the con vention and beggeu for a compromise. They asked that we give Roosevelt two delegates at large and take two for Taft. That we declined to do. They were perfectly willing to accept two delegates from this same convention they now denounce as fraudulent." IS NOT A BANCROFT. Court Holds That "Max Heiblcr. Jr.,". Is Correctly Named. Wilmington, Del., March 29. In a decress declaring the infant known as "Max Heibler, jr.," not the child of John Bancroft, jr., the superior court of Newcastle county today granted Bancroft a divorce from Madeline Du pont Bancroft. The families of the couple are among the most prominent in the state and the charges made in connection with the case are of a sen satianal nature. The infant mentioned was made a co-defendant with Mrs. Bancroft by her husband and was given the name of Max Heibler by Bancroft in his ap plication for divorce. The husband was granted custody of the couple's 4 year old son. No mention was made by the court of the cross suit for di vorce filed by Mrs. Bancroft. FIGHT FOR BIG HALL. To Fasten Seats Would Ruin Auditor ium Officials Say. It is believed at the city hall that under the state law it will not be nec essary for the officials to fasten the seats on the lower floor of the build ing. The law states that this shall be done in theaters and in permanent amusement houses. It is contended by the city commissioners that the audi INSPLCTCJ& OWEH rri IY UNDERWOOD S UNCfcRWOOO mail, on the library table by the maid. The judge suspected trouble at once and unwrapped the package carefully When he started to lift the box he found that it was heavier in one end than in the other and inslead of open ing the same, he called in Inspector Owen Egan and two police officers on the beat. When Inspector Egan ar rived it was discovered that had Judge Rosalsky immersed the bomb it would have still exploded, owing to the action of water on certain chemicals in the bomb. Inspector Eagan. contrary to the wishes of the judge, started to-open the bomb -to discover its nature and while doing so the bomb exploded, blinding Eagan and burning his hands and arms. The explosion completely wrecked the library and the report was heard for many blocks. Wolf Berman is being held by the police as a suspect. torium is an exposition hall and the seating capacity is not permanent. To fasten the lower floor seats would ruin the general use of the au ditorium, city officials admit. This building is used one night for a mu sical entertainment and the next night for a chicken show or an exposition or a ball. To make the seats permanent would leave the building useful only for stage entertainments. With the excellent exit accommoda tions, the situation of the building, the numerous aisles and accident preven tives and other methods of guarding against fire and accidents, the audi torium is well protected against the state fire laws. The city will make ev ery effort to avoid the necessity of nailing the seats to the floor. CLARK'S CANDIDACY. Managers Say Only One Who Did Not Seek It. The managers of the campaign for Champ Clark say that he is the only candidate who did not seek the can didacy and who is attending strictly to business. Here is their statement: "Champ Clark is the only contend er in the presidential race who did not seek the place, but whose candidacy was forced upon him. All of the oth ers of both parties were volunteers. Clarke alone was drafted. And in this fact lies perhaps his greatest strength. "There are many men who want to be president, far fewer whom the peo ple want to be president. And the people are the best judges. of the fit ness of candidates. "Some of Mr. Clark's enthusiastic friends are disappointed because he does not stump the country and do what he can to help those who are helping him. To these he replies that he has duties at Washington for which the people are paying him a salary, and that he does not intend to shirk the job or cheat the public by sacri ficing the interests of others for his own. He will remain at his post in the house until the last roll is called and he swings the gavel for final ad journment. "No, this isn't politics. Should he follow the dictates of 'good polities' he would be out making speeches. Doubtless this course would add to his strength, for he is an eloquent, earnest and cChvincing talker and has the power to move the minds and hearts of the multitude. According to the opinion of politicians he is lessening his chances of nomination by sticking to his duty. In the minds of thought ful, patriotic men he is proving if any fruther proof than his record were needed his fitness to discharge the higher duty. "Other candidates are up and down the country making speeches and mending fences or closeted in their headquarters, dictating their personal campaigns. Meanwhile Champ Clark is at his post, doing his own good best every hour in the day for the people and the public welfare." FOR ROBBING HIS WIFE Iromoter of New Church Is -Held in County Jail.

That is a question that is being generally asked around the senate in connec tion with the resolution put through the senate by Senator Bristow inquir ing as to the carriages and automobiles owned or maintained at government expense for the use of government of ficials. The resolution directs the heads of the several government departments, the districts commissioners, the pub lic' printers, the secretary of the Smithsonian institution, the interstate commerce commission and the civil service commission to furnish to the senate a detailed statement of the number of carriages, vehicles, motor cycles, motor vehicles and automobiles owned by the government oc main tained at government expense in each department or office, "and the pur pose for which each individual car riage or individual vehicle is used, and the make of the car." The statement is also to include the number of Uncle Sam's employees detailed as drivers or chauffeurs, the time they spend in such work and the individual to whom each carriage or automobile is as signed. But it is in that portion of the reso lution referring to the number and kind of machines that some find what they claim is a "Joker." The resolu tion calls for the make of each auto mibile owned by the government. "If one special make predominates," it was commented yesterday, "it will furnish the manufacturers the great est advertisement they could want." Senator Bristow desires the infor mation, because he thinks the govern ment owned machines are used for joy-riding and for taking out family parties for a cooling off in the warm summer evenings. He also fears the government has been too lavish in furnishing conveyances, especially au tomobiles, for he recently remarked in the senate that government-owned machines crowded the streets and made it difficult for pedestrians to cross the intersections. The resolution makes no inquiry regarding the automobiles purchased some years ago for the vice president and the speaker. BABElAD THE MONEY When Child Is Vndressed $200 Coun terfeit Coin Is Found.

The whole family was taken Into custody, the baby being included be cause it is alleged that she had the greater part of the incriminating evi dence. BABY FOR SALE. Marked Down From $5,000 to $4,000 for Quick Action. Chicago, March 29. A marked down baby is for sale at the home of Mr. and' Mrs. Pasquale Maronl, 1436 Wentworth avenue. At first the price was $5,000, "But we are very poor," said Mrs. Maroni, "and my husband was hurt and had to go to a "hospital, so we have marked the baby down to $4,000. Anybody who is not willing to pay that much for such a baby is not worthv of him. It is awful to think that we must sell our little boy. We talked and talked and my husband says maybe some rich man will buy him and bring him up better than -we could do so; he will be a smart man."

STOCKS Further indication that interest had switched to the railway shares was offer ed today by the increased activity and strength of Union Pacific and Southern Pacific, both ascending to the best prices for the movement while Canadian Pacific, which increased its rise to four points, was then at its best figures since Jan uary. Soo line rose smartly and B. and O., Northern Pacific and Rock Island pre ferred were up 1 to 114, while Reading rose briskly and Lehigh Valley went 114 above yesterday's closing. Bonds were firm. The feature of the opening of today's stock market was the rise of 2 points in Canadian Pacific. 1 point gain in Union Pacific and in Southern Pacific. The Hill issues advanced fractionally as aia Reading, Erie, Rock Island preferred, Bal timore and Ohio, Consolidated Gas and Great Northern Ore Certificates. United States Steel was unchanged. Slight recessions were shown by Amalga mated Copper, American Canadian, Mis souri Pacific and Southern Railway. The early rise in Canadian Pacific and the transcontinentals followed the ma terially higher level for these issues in London whose market manifested hope fulness over the prospective settlement of the coal strike. Considerable selling met the advance here and prices receded generally with more or less pressure against Steel, American Smelting and Amalgamated Copper. Later on the list grew steadier and a few issues eclipsed their opening high prices. Bullish operations were resumed in the coal stocks but the response was slight aside from Reading which advanced to 161. Expectation of an eleventh hour settlement of differences between the min ers and operators was said to be behind the rise in the stocks. Elsewhere the tone was Improved but dealings were light and restricted to the better known stocks. Vw York T.loney Market. New York, March 29.

THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOTTRNAE -MARCH 29, 1912 S FRENCH IS HURT Captain of Jayhawkers Injures His Ankle. May Lose K. IT. Meet With Mis souri Tonight. t oT-r. TCan March 29. In sharp contrast to the Joyful news that the Woodbury brothers will enter the track meet to be held in Convention hall at Kansas City Friday evening comes the report that Captain French sustained a serious injury to his left ankle recently and will be greatly handicanned in the events in which h is entered in the annual Missouri-Kan sas tangle. French strained his ankle while giv ln- an exhibition of high lumping Sat urday and in the handicap meet last Mnrnlav nieht he fell on it in such wav- that ho has been unable to work r.nt since. Doctor Naismith, head of the physical training department here has examined it and says that special care must be taken if French expects to enter the meet at all Friday even in However, the stellar Kansas jumper may show unexpected strength and spring some surprises. With French up to form and the Wnodhnrv brothers and Ammons in the meet prospects for a Kansas vie tory would be much brighter than at first expected, xoaa woouuuiy is al most certain of first place in the pole vault and Cramer, a new man this year, ought to win second place. Both of the Woodburys are out of practice but are showing their oldtime form and can be depended upon to hold up their end of the Kansas scoring ma chine. Ammons should win second in the shot-put and might possibly take first place. Coach Hamilton concedes first place in the nuarter and half mile events to Bermond of Missouri, but outside of these events he believes that either team has a fairly equal chance except in the pole vault and high jump which he gives to Kansas. "With French in good shape and the Woodburys and Ammons in the meet we should stand a very good chance of annexing the long end of the score," said Coach Hamilton this morning. "Missouri is unusually weak this spring and a break of luck for Kansas will defeat them, I believe, am expecting an exceedingly interest Ing meet and either team has a good chance to win. The Kansas rooters went with the band to Kansas City. Several hun dred made the trip. An enthusiastic meeting was held this morning in chapel. The Kansas rooters will make their headquarters at the Coates house which has been the scene of many historic Jayhawker football camps. BASEBAIdj GAB AM) GOSSIP. Subscriber who "inquires to know" where the Kaws will finish: At Den ver, September 29. Two games. The Packers are coming in fast and work at rounding the tryouts into a ball team has begun. Sioux City has considerable distance to travel on the return route this spring. The team last year simply was the thing and that was all. However, there is new blood galore on the Packer squad now, the management and title have been changed and it ia believed that the Sioux will be in the fray again this spring as in days of old. And if they are some one is going to have trouble keeping the desired place in the per centage column. Young Cobb is dissatisfied with the Lincoln team and hopes that with the aid of Brother Tyrus he will land on some more pretentious team. Cobb had betjer stay right where he is now. Lincoln has been pretty good to him. It hasn't been so long since a number of club owners felt sorry for Despain because he owned the relative of the greatest ball player on earth. Cobb ia now a pretty good ball player. He has learned all he knows about pas timing in the Antelope camp. Per haps he can still learn a little. And he doesn't look like setting the world afire in any circle which grades above single A. Paul should not have any trouble with the size of his hat band. He isn't good enough as a ball player to justify it. The sport writers in Des Moines have decided to call the Isbell-Fair-weather bunch the Mags. Thus they can be called the Margarets, the Mar guerites, the Maggies and the Mag pies. This does not include the names they will be called by opposing teams when they win. This writer understands from a careful reading of the dope in various sporting sections, that six of the eight O'Neill teams will finish, one two, three and the other two in fourth place. Hal Rustenhaven, the Kansas Cityan sent from Abilene to the New York team a year ago last fall, and sent by the Giants to the Three I League last year, has signed with Pueblo in the Rocky Mountain League lor tne com- ing season. j Outfielder Spencer, formerly with Pueblo, has been signed by the Links. Spencer hit over .300, fielded fairly, well and was a good player on the j team that Jack Holland bought and shipped to St. Joseph. He was sold to Mobile and sick all the time he was in the south. This spring he re- fused to go south on account of his health and was made a free agent. He wired an application to Lincoln and wag told to immediately consider himself an Antelope. i Kinsella stuck to the farm as long as possible. Now ne s worKing oui with the other Denver pitchers. The report that Chance had released Chapman to Topeka came as a com plete surprise. Chapman was making credible showing and while it was hardly believed he would stick with the clubs he was given an AA rating by this department. Just what change this will make in the plans of Manager Gear is not known here. Gear recently told the writer that he did not like to use a player who was property of an other club. He didn't favor the option thing, he said, because the player be lieved he belonged to some one else and consequently would not put forth his best efforts. However, should Chap man remain with the local club it i3 likely the manager will carry three catchers. He has already shown that he likes Smith and he told the writer before the southern trip began that there was no doubt about Schmidt be- ng one of the club's back stops during the coming season. And there you are. Chapman should be very classy in the Western league this year and Gear may decide to keep him, in camp. On the other hand some arrangement whereby he can be disposed of may be attempted. But there are a lot of fans in Topeka who would be glad to see the Doniphan county player cavorting on the local field. f he More ot Dapendjble Merchandise the Mora ot Dependable Merchandise A Chance to Make a Saving Underwear Department Offers Some Special Items of Underwear Ladies' ($1;00 quality) spring weight union suits, made long sleeves, ankle length at, suit. 75c Ladies' light weight union suits, lace trim and cuff knee, at, suit.. 84c Ladies' light weight union suits (50c quality) at. 3 Suits for $1.35 Ladies' light weight union suits (25c quality) at 3 Suits for 65c Ladies' long sleeve, light weight vest at 2 for 90c Ladies' extra good gauze vests 35c Ladies' (15: quality) outside vests 4 for 50c Mens', flannelette night shirts, (75c quality) for 59c Boy's flannelette night shirts 50c quality 39c The store of Dependable Merchandise The Store el DapMOafela Merokaadlse I be Mere) el DeeeoaaSle Merekeaeaaa Your Shoes For Easter Are Here!

Believing a trio of men who entered her husband's shop on Independence avenue were try ins to hold up the store, Mrs. Sophtj. Kleiman shot and killed W. C. Hasselt, 24 years old. Hassell and several com panions quarreled in the street and car ried their differences into Kleiman's shop. In a scuffle that followed Hassell col lided with Adolph Kleiman, the proprie tor.

A secret vault covered with wall paper, and which would not be no ticed except by a clever detective, was found. It had served as a depository for liquor. Joists used in the erection of the building were of native cottonwood timber, hewn with axes. The new building will be construct ed of stone and brick.

The State Journal is a member of tho Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization for tho exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka. The news Is received In The State Jour nal bv.!ldiDS ever wires for this sole pur- If conditions do not Improve there goon. Rock Island, 111., will take on tb.3 aspect of a wrecked island. Colonel Roosevelt must soon wake up to the fact that the lemon handed him hy the seven governors is of huge pro portions. Why doesn't Virginia enlist the ser vices of some expert grain speculators and stock manipulators to corner the Allen gang? Now watch for an increase in the price of beef and other me-ts. The successful defense of the packers cost a lot of money. Even Dr. Crumbine is discouraged with the brand of weather that is being provided for Kansas. And the worst of it is that no kind of a swatting cam paign can be launched against it effec tively. A safe and sane Fourth of July seems to be assured for this year in these parts. Present indications are it will be so cold on that date that even the youngsters will hesitate about frolick ing out-of-doors. From the overwhelming Republican sentiment for President Taft in Colo rado it is apparent that even Judge Ben Lindsey hasn't any more influence in his state than have the other Roose velt leaders in their bailiwicks.- Some of the baseball stars .in em bryo who are engaged in their spring practice on the vacant lots can find some excellent advice in the orders of Manager Frank Chance of the Chicago Cubs to his players that they cut out smoking cigarettes. Judge Baker, of the superior court of Rhode Island, has made an excel lent suggestion to the effect that mar ried persons should be compelled to live together for at least a year be fore they can bring a suit for divorce. Feminine Paris seems to be several blocks behind the times in taking to the style of invisible stockings. That is the kind the women in this land, or most of them, have been wearing for years. Devotees of the straw vote in the Roosevelt camp are not giving much attention to or making any extended comment on the significance of such a vote that was taken on presidential candidates among the professors and students at Harvard, the alma mater of the Colonel. This vote resulted in 1,113 for Taft, 918 for Wilson and only 780 for Roosevelt. In his announcement that he would accept a Republican presidential nom- ination for a third term. Colonel Roose velt declared that he would abide by the decision of the national convention. He does not seem at all willing, though, to abide by the decision of the conven tions and primaries that are necessary preliminaries to the creation of the national convention. Frederick Gresheimer, a real estate dealer of Chicago, is entitled to the dis tinction of being the mpst remarkable man in the world In one particular. He presented such an attractive appear ance in a bathing suit that a more or 'less prominent musical comedy actress fell in love with him. It is beyond the ordinary imagination to conceive that any man could look perfectly grand in a bathing suit. While ex-Senator Beverldge is gal livanting around the country, making speeches on the strength of the Roose velt movement with the people, his former constituents in Indiana are making known the! unmistakable pref erences for the renomination of Presl dent Taft. Most of the Roosevelt lead ers seem to cut more ice in other localities than their own, and where it is to be presumed they are best known by the people. It is a noticeable fact that not a word is said about the methods em ployed whenever any delegates to the Chicago convention are chosen and In etructed for Colonel Roosevelt. But any delegates selected in the same state and in the same way for President Taft are at once accused by the Roosevelt managers of having been chosen by fraud or in an irregular manner. And preparations are made at once to con test their right to seats in the national convention. THE RCRAL SCHOOLS. It must not be imagined, as som r.n. Mr.nia ot least, seem to think, that M I Mr. E. T. Fairchlld. state superintend ent of public instruction, in his pro nouncement on the retrogression of the rural schools, had the scnoois oi n rcinri oTplusivelv. As a matter of fact he was specific to state that conditions are pretty much the same in the rural schools the country over. He is also of the opinion tnat me r,,! sehnnla of Kansas compare fa vorably with those In all other state, and are better in every particular than those' of several of the states. This, though, does not minimize in the slightest the decline in the efficiency of the rural schools of .ansas It is a .natter that needs thorough attention ana prompt action. And Mr. Fairchild could have rendered no greater aerv. to the state than he has done in call ing attention to the conditions that have developed in the bulwarks of the commonwealth. Among other things, he believes that an inefficiency on the part of many of the teachers Is responsible to some .u. ,.nnQ of the schools. He tent lor me "J""1- calls attention to the rather unusual fact that more than half of the states school teachtrs are not equipped with. an education beyond the graaes grammar schools. And doesn't it seem a trifle unreasonable to expect a young -.nr woman with no mor man j v"t than a grammar school education .o fill acceptably the position of teacher in a rural school where the several grades must be taught? Some unusual ly talented young persons with a nat ural adaptability for teaching may be able with a no more extensive .n,iirment to conduct properly a rural school. But geniuses in this line, as In all others, are few and fat between. And the efficiency of the school teach er is the very keystone in the educa tional arch of a rural school.

"BLUE SKY" ADVERTISING. to d its bank commissioner, xvewifB" twiw haveachieved considerable and deserved fame of late because of .(!.fnte in operation here wmcn is more familiarly and expressively known as "the blue sky law. st.- a that under its opera- Son the credulous and gullible people of the state are saved severa of dollars in the aggregate each ea The get-rich-quick, artists who would -on them stock in all kinds of paper ventures cannot get at them. This law prevents the sale of any Kino, oi ,mie the individual, com- 1H jrvaiiotto pany or corporation floating the stock gets the necessary permission state banking department. It's an excellent law. But there would .m to be need of additional legisla tion to make it more effective. This legislation concerns the prohibition or advertising such illicit stock schemes in the newspapers and other publica tions of the state. Before this "bluo sky law" went into effect it was not an uncommon thing for an agent of one of these fly-by-night concerns to locate for a few weeks in each of the im portant cities of Kansas. He would ad vertise his stock for sale extensively in the local newspapers. This sort of ad vertising was accepted in good faith for the most part by newspapers. They had no Tvay of ascertaining the legiti macy of the enterprise. All this sort of thing has been done awa- with by the "blue sky law." The "blue sky" promoters, though, are resourceful, and they seem to be circumventing the law to a greater or less extent. They take up their head quarters in other states, or where the mythical home office of the concern they represent is located. From there they are sending out their advertising to the newspapers In Kansas, with re quests that prospective customers com municate with them by letter. Soma advertising of this sort has appeared in some of the Kansas publications lately. It may be that it has been accepted in good faith by the newspapers printing it. However that may be, it is merely giving the opportunity to the "blue sky" promoters to conduct a mail order business in their worthless wares. If the state deems it right to prohibit the sale of "blue sky" stock in Kansas, as it surelv is. it is equally right that the newspapers of the state be forbidden .to print; advertisements or "blue sky" propositions that come to them from sources outside the state and beyond the reach of the "blue sky" law.

Mr. Henry Silvius- is the owner of a nice fat hog, which lived for three weeks in a snowdrift without a bite to eat, relates the St. Mary's Star. It happened like this: Three weeks ago when Mr. Silvius shipped some hogs, during the heavy snow several of 4.he hogs were lest, and as the snow drifted over the hog shed and fence, they could not get in their pen. Thinking however, those lost were dead as they found one dead, Mr. Silvius did not seek the rest. Last Sunday, as the snow was melting, one of the lost hogs came from its hiding place, a snow drift, where it had- been for three weeks without a bite to eat. The hog had lain down near a tree and the snow had drifted over it. Although somewhat poorer, the hog apparently was feeling none the worse for its long rest and fast. GLOBE SIGHTS BY THE ATCHISON GLOBE. i You can't tell how many fish will be caught by the cost of the tackleused. In the final indurance contest, the sweepstakes prize probably will so to a bore. No man should waste his time acquiring bad habits, if he feels he must waste it. It must be worth more than the post office pays to be a Republican down south. Men dislike to pay taxes; women go them one better: they detest the idea of taxes. Generally speaking, love letters are bad enough without injecting poetry into their composition. It is our theory that the chronic fault finder doesn't do enough of that kind of work on himself. .Sometimes a man who doesn't treat his wife as a perfect lady will resent any in timation that she isn't. Taming the wild gooseberry is our re vised notion of nothing much in the way of horticultural achievement. An Atchison man never swung so far to the bad in his life as he did when he thought he was being fair.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS- From the Chicago News. Getting even is an expensive luxuary. Even a woman never learns to sneeze gracefully. A kitten is almost as frisky and sense less as a flirt. Staying at home is a virtue few people try to cultivate. The hot air treatment for financial ills is seldom a curative. Don't tax ydur friends overmuch when you try to make a touch. The higher criticisms of the drama usually come from the gallery gods. A man is no sooner elected to officethan he begins to kick because it isn't more remunerative. And many a married woman thinks it's up to her to assert her Independence by abusing her husband. Every woman Is sorry for some other woman because of what her husband told her about the other woman's husband. It isn't any wonder that a man is an noyed when he gets the worst of a horse trade, as that was what he was trying to hand the other fellow. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. The simple little frocks a girl loves to wear are always in books. Telling- a second-hand secret is mighty hard, because everybody else already knows It. The first thing a man tries to do when he gets troubles is to load them on somebody else. As soon as the devil finds out a man is ambitious he, knows he doesn't have to do anything more to get him. After her own, a woman's idea of what would be a fine figure for somebody else is something entirely different from what it happens to be. Reindeer In Alaska. It is only a few years since the United States government, as an ex periment which it was hoped would help the Eskimos and Indians of northern Alaska, imported a few score of reindeer from Norway, with a num ber of Lapps skilled in their care. Subsequently other reindeer were brought from the opposite coast of Asia, and although it was known that the particular form of moss or lichen on which these animals live, and which flourishes under the snow, was abun dant within the American Arctic Cir cle, the attempt to introduce reindeer was regarded by a majority of our citizens as being quite as wild and visionary as was the purchase of Alaska by Secretary Seward in 1867. The few score reindeer has grown to 27,325. distributed in forty-two herds. More than one-half, or 14,993, are owned by natives who, before the advent of the reindeer, were in a state of the most wretched poverty. Of the remainder, 3,730 are owned by the United States. 4,194 by missions, and 4,407 by Lapps. The total income of the Eskimos from the reindeer in dustry, during the year last reported, was $24,636.09. It promises well for the conscience of the nation- that we have come at length to recognize kin ship with our little brown brother whom, heretofore, we have left to be despoiled by the trader The Christian Herald.

You're too likely to keep them holy and insist that every body in the block present living sacri fices of time and patience and indi vidual opinion you have forgotten that this is a free country, and that you have no legal rights to make your neighbor worship your idols. If you do this, your hobby becomes a hob goblin and the town marshal should jail you for harboring unlicensed ani mals. Hobbies in the way of work are ordinarily innocuous. They keep you oat of mischief and thus preserve a feeling of amitv between you and the people next door. It is your moral and intellectual hobbies that are likely to keep the recording angel recording the curses of your neighbors. Most of us are unreasonably impressed with the holiness of our own convictions. Robbed of a lot of self-sugaring folde rol, our line of reasoning in regard to the hobby of conscience or opinion is something like this: It is holy be cause it is mine, and because it is h)oly all others shall fall down and worship. Of course that isn't what we say, but that is what we mean. And there's sometimes the devil to pay if others don't see the things just our way. Which is quite correct, for the devil himself invented such hobbies. It is quite proper for you to have your moral convictions and intel lectual convictions as well, and, if you will, it is your inalienable right to convert such of your neighbors as are willing to listen to you. But it is well for you to remember that you are of the earth earthy and that you can't do the problems in the back of the arithmetic without slipping a cog. Which proves that, besides being earthy, your mental equipment is dis tinctly limited. Reasoning thus, it should occur to you that there may be something the matter with your own little rule of thumb for human conduct or your hard-shelled theory of the origin of man. If you really wish to be happy, you must remember that moral and intel lectual hobbies are like family skele tons to be kept in the closet. (Copy right, 1912, by W. E. Williams.) QUAKER MEDITATIONS.

THE EVENING STORY The Little Professor. (By Dorothy Douglas.) The little professor's eyes seamed tho row of girls whose right hands beat time to the movement of his baton while they sang an exercise in solfeggio. "Miss Vance, 'you are not singing," he said without stopping the rhythm. Nadine Vance looked at him and a dull red crept up even to the line of her softly waving hair; her eyes were brooding and somber. She made an effort to sing, but no sound issued from the lips that were trembling. When the exercise was finished the little professor still kept his eyes on the girl. "Why do you not sing?" he asked in his kindly manner. Nadine's heavy .eyes were again raised to his and the hunted look of a deer at bay sent an expressed of grav ity into the professor's face. "I cannot sing today," Nadine said in a hard, jerky voice. "It doesn't matter, anyway I I am giving up the class this week." A swiftly hidden emotion swept across the professor's eyes; then he went on with the rhythmical move ment exercise. But the large class of girls, who one and all adored the little professor, felt strangely antagonistic toward Nadine v ance. In some way she had turned harmony into discord. It was with a certain sense of relief that the hour ended and the little professor dismiss ed his class with a kindly, parental smile for each girl as she left the studio. Nadine Vance would have slipped out, too, but she found her escape blocked by his detaining hand. "Miss Vance," the professor's voice and eyes were serious, even grave, "I went to talk to you. Can you come here at about 4 o'clock this after noon?" "No," Nadine put it swiftly. The girl's usually sweet, caressing voice was hard and strained. The profes sor's searching eyes did not leave her face. "It will do no good to talk," she continued jerkily, "I have determined to give up this branch of music." The professor's voice took on a com pelling note. "I want to talk to you this afternoon at 4," he took her hand as he often did when parting from his pupils. "You will come?" The color came fitfully into Nadine's cheeks, then it left her with a sudden ly tense whiteness. "Yes. I will come. But you are compelling me to do something for which I know you will be sorry." She turned,and was gone. The professor went slowly and thoughtfully back to the piano. "She is unstrung some love affair." He communed with himself while his fingers strayed at random over the kevs. "What strange vagaries the feminine temperament indulges in!" The professor's fingers were playing the rhapsody of his own mind and he was not quite conscious that the inner man was seeking to forget the hours between the present and the hour of 4. Nadine dressed with unusual taste. She had sufficient of the feminine weakness struggling with tempera ment to realize the value of becoming clothes. Her costume was ravishing. "He will probably not even notice whether I have on heliotrope or burnt orange. A wistful little smile played about her lips. But in truth she knew that notning escaped the professor's keen eyes, not even the gradually in creasing turmoil in her own heart. "And now he is going to drag my secret away from me I know he is." A blush tingled over Nadine's entire being and she dropped her lids over the shamed eyes reflected in the mirror. When she entered the studio at 4 o'clock she still felt an utter lack of control over herself. "Now, Miss Vance," the hint of an eternal smile in his eyes, and which was a part of the professor, mingled oddly with the gravity of his voice, "you and I are going to have a good talk." He seated her on the wide couch and dropped into his big arm chai". He looked steadily Into her great brooding eyes for a moment and said tenderly, "My nightingale's eyes are shadowed, her song is silenced and" the little professor put in his usual portion of the lighter vein "her fea tures are extraordinarily beautiful." A fleeting smile spent itself quick ly in Nadine's eyes. Then she looked at him in mute appeal, but she re mained silent. "Come, tell your old teacher all about it. You are fighting something out in your own heart, little girl and it doesn't pay. Something is bound to give way." As the words "give way" left his lips Nadine felt the click of a key open the door of her heart. She cast a quick glance at the professor and slipped over and onto the wide arm of his chair. And because the little professor was a strong man and of well con trolled emotions he In no way showed surprise, but only looked at her with his paternal smile in his eyes. He could feel the vibrations from her slender body and wondered at the pent-up struggle within her. He was not prepared for the dry huskiness which spoke of deep feel ings when after a moment she found voice. "Call me childish, unstrung any thing you like." She buried her head in her arms on the back of his chair and drew a few spasmodic breaths. "But I'm not. I have struggled and fought against this thing called love. But it is obsession, tyranny a dom ineering master. And I am utterly weary trying to escape it." Nadine glanced shyly up. Her eyes were no longer brooding, but lumin ous and wonderful. The little pro fessor felt a subtle warmth stealing over him. Unconsciously he drew in a deeper breath of her fragrance. He wondered a trifle apprehensively. Just what the faint stirring within the depths of his being might portend. Nadine's voice continued in low pitched, emotional cadence. She dropped her head again on her arms and poke almost to herself. "Per haps if I unburden my thoughts to vou I mav in a measure escane the bondage if not the obsession. It may be that in sharing my secret I may gain back the power of song, of 'laufilitet asd .wia tew naomen' respite from this unutterable long ing, this pent-up love that is shadow ing every gleam of happiness in life." She ceased speaking, but the little professor was looking with unseeing eye3 at the white hand that lay idle on her lap; he had scarcely been heeding her words, for the realization had stolen over him that something big and desperately necessary to his happiness was being dragged out of his reach. Suddenly, and with a force undream ed of, he turned and swept Nadine off the arm chair and into his arms. "Stop! Don't tell me anything more about this love of yours I cannot stand it!" The little professor was trembling and his voice was even more husky than Nadine's own. "You have breathed your low tones into my ear and the seent of your hair in my nostrils and now your heart is pounding against my own and when you have set my soul quivering with love for you do you think I am going to stand by and let you talk of love for some other man? You can struggle all you like, but I am going to hold you for my own!" As suddenly as he had taken her he let go his clasp, with a contrite realiza tion of what he had done. "Forgive me, Nadine; it all came over me so sud denlyjust how dear you are to me." The little professor made a brave at tempt at his kindly, paternal smile. "Can you forgive me now and leave me But with a long-drawn sigh of con tentment Nadine crept back Into his arms and twined her, arms about him. "Whom did you think I loved?" she asked him. (Copyright, 1912, by Asso ciated Literary Press.) EVENING CHAT BT RUTH CAMERON. In a little town in Connecticut, two old people have just celebrated the 77th an niversary of their wedding. The man is 99, the woman 97. "I have always thought," says the old benedict when asked his recipe for marital felicity, "that young married folks would have fewer quarrels if they followed the rules mother and 1 laid down for ourselves." These are the rules: "Remember, each has rights the other should respect. "Do your share of the work without boasting. "Forget the gloomy things and discurs and think of the cheerful things of lite. "Let the better manager, whether the man or the woman, be the cashier of the household. "Do not speak disparagingly of your life partner s family. "Do not say you are boss; think so if you wish, but keep it to yourself.- "When you are peevish go out of doors; do anything to forget it, only do not fret your partner. "In a word let the dog sleep in the best chair, if that is the only way to preserve harmony." I emphasize the fourth, fifth and seventh of these rules because, while all of the suggestions are excellent, these are the ones I specially wanted to en dorse. The question as to whether the husband or the wife should have charge of the family purse strings is often agitated. Some mainatin that the husband, as the provider, should handle all the money. Others hold that the wife, as he buyer should have the cash, turned over to her. Both methods have proved successful and both have failed. I think the old folks have exactly the right idea. Som people naturally are capable of planning and saving and spending wisely. Others are not. The best planner, whether hus band or wife, should certainly be the financial manager. "Do not speak disparagingly of your life partner's family" is a gem. I know one family where the husband and wife seem to love each other dearly, and yet neither ever misses a chance to hurt the other by a slap at his family. His sister's pemiri ousness, her brother's improvidence, his father's bad temper, her nephew's gam bling tendencies these are subjects which are continually dragged into the conver sation to the distinct detriment of family harmony. After a quarrel, resulting fro n one of these unkind allusions on the part of the wife, she and I talked the matter over. Said she. "But everything I saiti about his father was true and he knows it. What if it were true? There are many true things which do not need to be discussed. What if he did know it was true? That didn't prevent him from re senting her dragging it into the conver sation. I do not like a man who will let Ms wife needlessly abuse his father or mother, or a woman who permits thni from her husband. It isn't loyal. If there were ever a sleeping dog that It s well to let lie. it's this subject of your partner's family. But the best of all these good rules to me is the seventh. "When you are peevish go out of doors." There is no balm for a fretful, restless spirit half so potent ns going out of doors, seeking your friends, talking to them and getting your mind off yourself. There is no cure for a grievance or a quarrel half so sure as a brisk walk. Elizabeth Browning's little verse about losing one's troubles, trials and tribula tions "out in the fields with God," ougnt to be known in every home. The bromidic picture of the lonely, ill kept home from which the wife has gone forth, to occupy herself with outside in terests. Is no sadder to me than the pic ture of the prison home from which the wife seldom steps out except to shako her tablecloth more than once a week. Any woman who makes a habit of stay ing cooped up in a house three and tour days at a time is preparing for a sana torium or a divorce court. Of course, no one could obev all these rules all of the time. It is doubtful If their promulgators did. But to any couple who will obey all of these rules some of the time, and some of them all the time. I rancy happiness will be a pret ty steady companion. Ij ADVERTISING TALKS 1 1 BY WILLIAM C. FREEMAN Mr. C- L. Leonard, vice president of C. A. Weed A Co., of Buffalo and Blngham ton, dropped in my office the other day to say a few encouraging words about the work that is being done by the ad vertising forces all over the country in raising the standard of advertising. To use his own words: "Our firm would be glad to pay double its present rates to the newspapers If all of the advertisments printed in the news papers were known to be absolutely re liable." The great majority of men engaged in business in every community give to their customers a square deal a dollar's worth of merchandise for a dollar. Unfortunately, however, there are al ways some business men In every com munity whose last thought Is to give any body a square deal, or to give anybody a dollar's worth of merchandise for a dol lar. These are the people that minimize the value of advertising for everybody. However, the reliable advertising move ment is becoming country-wide, and the feeling among the straightforward mer chants Is that they must lend their as sistance to the advertising workers t." bring about the universal standardization of all advertisements printed in all pub lications Mr. Leonard's suggestion that adver tisers will be willing to pay higher rates to publications that can guarantee the re liability of the advertisements they print is a good one. Such a condition would be good busi ness not only for the publication, but for tne advertiser. It would practically doub'e the value of every advertising announce ment. And this condition is bound to come. (To be continued.) KANSAS COMMENT REAL CHARITY. Charity neither begins nor ends with giving a few dollars to the poor. Charity of thought, speech and action are even more important. You are called on but seldom for money and second-hand cloth ing, but you have the opportunity every day to display charity in other ways. Your worst enemy is not half as mean a man as you charge him to b. Because he is your enemy you use every argu ment and evidence to convince yourself that he is a mean man. You never arzu from this point of view to see If you are not as much responsible for the ex isting enmity as he. In short, you show no charity. Ypi hear an extra choice bit of gossip. It Is so good you cannot refrain from spreading it even though reason an.l sense tell you the story is untrue and un reasonable, and you know vou are doing harm when you give it more circulation. Real charity is that, when vou hear a true story reflecting on the character of some of your townsmen and townswomen. you supprers it. No good is secured by spreading true scandal. If we could "see ourselves as others see us" we would undoubtedly be more mod est and polite. But think of the reputa tion you would have If others saw you as you see yourself and know yourself? What would be your reputation if tin sins of your past life, as well as your present life, became public? Would you not beg for mercy, which Is only rharlty when you receive instead of bestow?

The extent to which man Is still subject to the influence of the elements is again illustrated by the statement in the news columns that the widespread snowfall over the vast territory between the Great Salt Lake. Utah, and the western slope of the Alleghany mountains and from th9 Canadian border to Oklahoma assures tho best crop prospects known in the wfst for several years. The farmers throne h out all that great region prepared thir fields for winter wheat to such extent as they considered practical. When they had done their part, there was nothing left but to take the chances of the sea son. Now has come the second heavy snowfall of the winter, and this gives them promise of a good crop, other things proving to be favorable also. It In stated that the condition of the winter wheat Is rendered Ideal, the wheat bein protected by the snow and all the west ern country being assured of sufficient water when the snow melts.

THE TOPEKA DAEiY STATE J0TTR1IAE MARCH 29, 1912 ISKOP QUAYLE ON T. R. AuerbachS Guettel Auerbacfcg Guettel i v S7k z sm Says Colonel Is Trying to Capitalize a Neurotic Wave. From the Kansas City Journal. Ttiahon W. A. Quayle of the Method ist Episcopal church, who is presiding et the St. Louis conference meeting at the Grand Avenue church, in Kansas City, Mo., differs from most members of his profession. He doesn't believe that because a man is a preacher he should not be allowed to speak his mind freely. And he doesn't think very much of Theodore Roosevelt. He be lieves there is a neurotic wave in American priitics?. and that Roosevelt is trying to capitalize it to get back into office. My judgment is that the worst thing any American citizen can do is to min ister to the nervousness of the Ameri can people," he said at the Kupper hotel last night. Then he talked about Roosevelt. "Mr. Roosevelt," he said, "all at once discovered that unless we have a mis cellaneous primary, our liberties are i. peril. He was twice president when we did not have a primary. He proba bly was a good man then and he pro bably is a good man now only we've had enough of him." t rim for office the bishOD said it seemed necessary to "have a spell," to enjoy thinking that everything is the worst it ever was. Then he talked again of the primary proposition. In politics." he said, it is the thing to hunt for the place where we can have the biggest spell.' There is no use having a hydrophobia fit where there is neither hydrophobia nor water." As another part of the formula for office hunting the bishop mentioned, shouting: "All the bad men are in of fice and all the good men are out of office, but the good men will soon be In. I am the most honest and best man alive. Amen." "Not long ago," continued the bishop, "a brother asked me if I fol lowed the thought of a certain man. I replied that I never saw any." "But do you read after him?" "A long wavs," I answered. 'Mr. Quayle,' he then reproached me, I should think a man like you would not object to what a man said unless he familiarized himself with what he did say.' "I never took the pains to read what this man says," explained the bishop. "If you read what a maniac eavs vou are in danger of becoming maniaced. and thi3 man is a meglo maniac, the most vituperative type ot maniac, a consuming egotist." Bishop jQuayle said that while he was pastor of a church in Chicago an other minister was thanking God there was one honest man in America. "I called him up." said the bishop, and asked him if he was correctly quoted. He said he was. 'Then you are mistaken, doctor,' I said. 'There are two honest men in America. I am here." The story got into the newspapers and the absurd talk of there being one honest man in Amer 1. v -.1 laughed down." Biihop Quayle paid his respects to the neurotic wave in political affairs as part of his refutation of the gen eral disposition to over-emphasize the evil'? of the present day and hark back to the "good old days." As he sees it. the present days', and not the past flpys, are the good ones, and a better da- will be hastened more bj- recog niKins this than by looking at .the de- fe-.t.V THINKS WAS UNFAIRLY TREATED I Sirs II. Svrcct Complains or Knights ami Utdies of Security. The State Journal has received a let ter from Mrs. Harold Sweet, whose husband died some time ago. in which sh complains of the treatment she re ceived from the Knights and Ladies of Security. The death claim of her hus band was compromised. She says in hrr communication: "In the Knights and Ladies of Secu rity paper, the statement was made that Harold Sweet died suspended. I want to state that they did not say how, or why he was suspended. If you will examine their books you will find that Mr. Sweet's dues were always paid the first of the month. He was taken sick on the 5th of October. We paid the assessment for the month of Oc tober. The .'SOth of October the lodge pent a man to my home. He intro duced himself as the president of Coun cil No. 1. and called me his "sister and tiv husband 'his sick brother.' He told me it was the rule of the lodge to take care of a sick brother's lodge dues until he got well. I consented to let the lodge keep up his dues, he telling me three time3 before he left my house that they would take care of the dues. I never applied to the lodge at all. I had money all the time to pay his lodge dues. "It is. and always will be a mystery to me why on earth they sent out to my home in the rain and the storm and toid me it was the rule of the lodge to take care of my sick- husband's dues, when I was paying them the first of the month regularly and he never had been suspended and now I am ashamed to ay what they have done for me. I pave -them full charge of his dues as requested on the 30th of October when the November assessment was due, and they suspended him the first of Decem ber. They claim they forgot to pay them. They could see from the records that we never forgot to pay them and I notice they did not forget to suspend him. never notifying me about it. My cousin, learning that they did not pay one penny on Mr. Sweet's dues, offered to pay for him, and they refused to take the money, saying 'it was against the rule of the lodge.' i "I am writing this for the benefit and good of people who may have confi dence in the Knights and Ladies of Se curity as I did. I would advise you to tell the "lodge brother- when he comes, that you will take care of your own lodge dues. "If I could have read of a case like this at any time, it would have saved me all this trouble, two months of davs end nights of worry, and a compromise of J1.00O insurance.

Thu fnreeoine names and records fmbodv the last step but one the marriage ceremony, which was pro nounced by Probate Judge Jordan that consummated the union of Houston Walker and May Malcom. It forms the concluding chapter of a romance that has been fraught with trials and vicissitudes; threats and coercion; tears and tragedy. It is a climax of a love story that be gan in youthful Innocence, passed through a region of terror and culmi nated In conjugal union. It Is a sad story, while it may have had its root in evil. It has its re deeming features and it is certain that the principals of the event have lit tle regret, excepting that they were the victims for a time of an alleged villain who came Into their lives and temporarily blighted their dreams of happiness. In the vear 1910, there came to work for "William Malcom, a farmer who resided near Plevna, a young man named Walker James Houston .Walk er. He fell ra love wixn xne larmer s rlauehter. Ollie May. The attentions he showered on the little girl then only 16 were heartily reciprocated and. an en-gagement followed. The god of happiness reigned supreme and the young couple began planning for the future. Then Ooraes the Villain. ft was then, however, that one Jas ner RrazJer. assumed a role in the little drama that gave promise of blissful termination. Brazier was em- ninverl hv May's father and. assumed his nlace as a field hand. He saw the little girl, rosy cheeked, filled with tha lov of n. nancy young life, and hamufnl. Brazier longed for posses- Inn of his employer's daughter and soon began to force his unwelcome ad van pea uiion her. He wanted, her to agree to marry him. and when she repelled his pro--nnnals. he threatened threatened to take her life, to kill her two broth TTlvsses and Harvey, and her lover, Houston Walker. He forbade under pain of death, the girl telling either Vior relatives or her sweetheart. of anything that passed between them. She lived in terror while Brazier, who was then 38 years of age, pressed his mi Miss Malcom pleaded:-she appealed to her unwelcome suitor: she even told him the greatest secret of her lifp that she would soon become the tti other of Houston Walker's child; but still he was unrelenting. Finally Brazier told the girl that the last day had arrived, that he would brook no further delay and that they must be married. Accordingly the pair went to St. John in Harvey coun ty, he with an ugly looking revolver as a means of coercion in the event of refractory action on her part, where a "icense was procured and the wed ding consummated. AVeds, Then Deserts Her. Mr. and Mrs. Brazier returned home, but he failed to provide for her maintenance. In a petition which she later filed in the Reno county district court, for annullment of the marriage, she alleges that her husband planned for the murder of Walker's unborn babe; that he told her how it could be "put to sleep" in a manner that would never know an awakening. Finally, the wife alleged. BTazier left her entirely and' that she was com pelled to work for others, in order to support herself and child. Two weeks ago the petition for annullment of the marriage was heard in the district court and Judge Branine dissolved the marriage. 1o you dePire'to be free for the purpose of wedding the father of your child?" Judge Branine inquired of Mrs. Brazier, when she was on the witness stand. "I do." came the timid reply in a trembling voice.

"The soils of Kansas contain more water now than they have at this time of the season for many years. Every farmer should see that it is kept there until the growing crop can use it. This moisture is more valuable to the plant than an equal amount of later rain fall, because it has already absorbed an abundance of plant food from the soil. Practically all the water that is now in the ground can be saved by keeping the surface soil loose or well tilled until planting-, time." says W. M. Jardine of the K. S. A. C. "Cultivation should begin as soon as the land can be touch.ee!. This will prevent water escaping from the soil through evaporation. A two to three inch layer of tilled soil over the sur face of a field forms a very effective lid to keep the -.vater in the ground. The cultivator, the disk harrow, the spike-tooth, harrow or an other imple ment the farmer may have which will loosen the top soil may be used and should be started as soon as the ground is dry enough to be worked. "If the ground was. fall plowed, harrowing or possibly early disking will be best. If the ground is in the stubble and is to be planted with the lister then it should be disked and harrowed. If the ground is loose and sandy and likely to blow it will be best to shallow list early and gradually work the ground down with an ordi nary drag harrow, when the crop can be surface planted or listed in, as the farmer deems best. "Some farmers are asking if it would be wise to roll or harrow their wheat ground this spring. It certain ly would, especially if a crust has formed or if the ground has cracked or heaved or is very loose. Rolling or harrowing when the ground is not wet will not do any harm, and, theretore. ten chances to one it will do a great deal of good. A corrugated roller is to be preferred to a smooth roller. The SDikes of the harrow should be tilted backwards a little to avoid pull ing up more plants than is advisable. Do not be afraid to harrow the ground thoroughly." ing delegates to the district and state conventions. If the large membership of the Roosevelt clubs in this county counts for anything, it is likely that the sentiment will be overwhelming for primaries. The 'method of choice is left to the central committee in the Seventh district. TURKEY LIVES 21 BAYS IX SNOW. Farmer Finds Her After Own Heat Melts Drift. Sanford, Kan., March 29. When Ed mond Smith, who lives northwest of Larned, Kan., found three pigs and a hen alive and well in a snowdrift -on his farm seven days after the big blizzard of February 25th. the hibernating re cords in this part of the state were thought to be broken. The experience of Mr. Smith's pigs and chickens dwindles away in insignificance, how ever, when compared with that of a wv:te turkey hen belonging to Enno Meckfessel, a farmer living near this place. In checking up his list of stock on February 26th Mr. Me"ckfessel found all present but a pet white turkey hen which he concluded had drifted away during the storm and perished. He thought nothing more of the matter till March 17th, just 21 days after the storm, when he heard of Mr. Smith's experience. By a simple process of reasoning he argued to himself that if three pigs could live seven days in a snow bank one turkey hen ought to be able to live 21 days under the came conditions. After arriving at this rather unique conclusion the only thing left to do was to find the snowdrift. This was easily accomplished as the sun, which had been shining for nearly a week, had melted all drifts but one behind the barn. Thither Mr. Meckfessel hurried and in a snow palace, melted out by the warmth of her body, he found the heroine, safe and sound but hungry. SICKLY CHILDREN MEAN SICKLY MEN AND WOMEN There Must Be No Delay in Correcting Nerveousness and Thin Blood During the Year of Most Rapid Growth. School children who are nervous, who cannot sit quietly on a chair, who are always dropping things, and perhaps have twitching of the muscles of the face, need Dr. Williams' Finl- Pills at once. Growing girls who become pale and thin, who have fickle appetites, who are out or breath after climbing the stair.?, and who have palpatation of the heart after the least exertion, need them also. Parents of such children should not delay the treatment. Nervous children do not develop properly. A sickly girl hood means a sickly womanhood and lack of blood during the years of most rapid growth means flat-chested, list less, ambitionless men and women later on. Pure, rich, red hlbod is what is need ed. Strength for the nerves follows naturally. The time to correct the need of these is now, before any more harm is done. Mrs. A. Luakie. of No. 910 Adam street. St. Charles, Mo., says: "I first began to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills when I was fourteen, years old. I was so pale that I looked as though I had no blood. I had been weak and sick for a number of years, had but little strength and was very nervous. I was subject to sick headaches .id dizzy spells. My blood was turning to wator and my mother thought I was going into consumption. I received no help from any of the medicines that I tried until I took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. They seemed to give me new blood right away and my cheeks became rosy, which they never had been before. I continued with the pills until I was completely cured. Since then I have used the pill? after the birth of my child and found that they built me right up." Every parent of a growing child lias a serious responsibility. A little money for the right tonic now may mean the difference between a lifetime of sick ness or of health and happiness. Get a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills today and read the directions. Start the treatment at once. Then write the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.. Schenectady, N. Y-, for any special information and a helpful booklet. If you cannot get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills readily near home send $2.50 for a half dozen, by mail, postpaid. ASK RELIC FROM THE MAINE. Out at learned They Shot the Spanish Mag to Pieces. Larned, Kan., March 29. An effort is to be made by the Larned Business Men's association to secure a souvenir of the battleship Maine for this city. This project was suggested by H. B. Pearce, formerly of this city but now secretary -to Congressman George A. Neeley at Washington, in a letter to the association, and will be pushed for all there is in it. Owing to the large number of volunteers that en listed from this county for service the sentiment here has always been strongly in favor of any movement to commemorate the incidents of the Spanish-American war. During the war the city erected a large 125 foot steel flag pole in the main business quare and named the place Dewey square and the Spanish flag was shot to pieces each Friday night thereafter with Roman candles to the music of a military band till the end of the struggle. The effort to procure a relic of the Maine is a fitting sequel to the sentiment aroused at that time. GIRL CRAWIS TO SCHOOL. Ten-Year-Old Hazel Orr Keeps t"p Record Despite Storm. Lawrence. Kan., March 29. Crawl ing on half frozen hands and knees for a distance of an eighth of a mile over the crusted snow surface recently, ten-year-old Hazel Orr of Kanwaka district, near Lawrence, was able to maintain her record of perfect attend ance in school this week. The child is a slender, little girl. not overly strong, and she has two miles to walk in order to reach the school house. She has struggled through the deep drifts afoot the entire winter and has not missed a single day during the school year and takes a childish eagerness in her ability to be among the few honor students in this respect. BELLAI RE'S A HUSTLING TOWN. Big Crop and Business Year to Be This Season's Record. Bellaire. Kan., March 29. The lit tle town of Bellaire in Smith county snouid not be slighted because it is small. It is the central trading point for one of the best agricultural sec tions in the state. The country is thickly populated with live, wide awake, up to date scientific farmers, who make farmin;; a success, and therefore Bellaire is one of the best little shipping points on the great Rock Island system. This is the home, too. of Smith coun ty's present representative in the leg islature, R. R. Manchester, who will be a candidate for re-election. The firm of I. B. Hall and T. A. Vinsonhaler are the two big stores of the place who do an immense annual business. E. T. Thompson, with I. B. Hall Co., is the all around rustler and statesman of the town, while Fred Snyder at all times gives the highest market price for the farmers' live stock and grain. vine hardware Dustness is repre sented by F. M. Lumpkin, who is coin ing more money than many hardware men in the larger cities. The Bel laire State bank handles the cash and altogether this little town and its great army of up to date farmers are looking forward to the biggest crop and most- prosperous business year in history.

Scranton, Kan., March 29. Dr. D. L. Stewart of this city narrowly escaped death by drowning late Thursday after noon.

Horses, buggy and the physician were precipitated into the deep water which was nearly at the flood stage and running rapidly. The doctor kicked his way out of his heavy overcoat and swam to the shore, but the team was drowned. The buggy was badly damaged and the doctor's case, containing medicines and surgical instruments, was lost. ARKANSAS RIVER IS RISING. Owners Damage by Flood Feared by of Lowland Farms.

CALDWELL'S SYRUP PEPSIN Is the Ideal Cure for Chronic Indigestion You who have suffered long from chronic indigestion know that the so-called "dyspepsia cures" do not really cure per manently, but at best only give temporary relief. They help digestion, but they must be taken each time food is eaten. There is a better and surer way of obtaining permanent relief, and that is by the use of such a remedy as DR. CALDWELL'S SYRUP PEPSIN. There is no deny ing the value of pepsin as an aid to digestion, but in addition to this DR. contains ingredinets that tone and There are also rec.oarnized laxative properties which remove from the bowels all matter that should he eliminated. It is necessary that a remedy for indigestion be effective both in the stomach and the bowels, and this can be said of DR. CALD WELL'S SYRUP PEPSrN. A small dose taken as the directions call for, and in severe cases continued for a few days, will cure anv case of in digestion or your money will be refunded. SYRUP PEPSIN is for the stomach, liver and bowels, and for these specific purposes has no super ior. It is the Ideal family remedy and should be in every home. A fifty cent bottle has been known to keep a large family in health for a long time.

NO VANILLA IN EXTRACT. Few Extracts Came Up to Standard Is Shown by Test. University of Kansas, March 29 Following his work of analyzing vari ous flavoring extracts, Prof. H. Louis Jackson of the department of food analysis, has subjected eight of them to an interesting experiment. This test shews the utter failure of the products as flavoring extracts. He prepared a quantity of corn starch pudding and divided the whole into eight separate dishes. He then flavored each with a different extract, Three of the puddings were flavored with the socalled strawberry, three with raspebrry and twe with banana Each extract had been put out by different company. The professor then called four voting women to his aid. (jne or tnem is a student in the department of do mestic science. Tliese girls were to sample the puddings ana to name ine flavors. One tasted three flavors out of the eight, correctly; the second two: the third, one: and the fourth two. Thev found strawberry to be the porest of all the extracts. According to Professor Jackson, any housewife can detect artificial lemon extract bv two very simple tests. "All a nerson has to do, is to shake the bottle of the flavoring extract. v If the foam, produced by the shaking leaves at once, the extract is standard "This is the. best test," continued tne professor, "but there is the other one as a last resort. Just pour a nine oi your lemon flavoring into a glass of water. If the extract is standard, it will srive the water a clouded appear ance. This is due to the precipitation of the alcohol, which leaves the oil to give the milky color." USE PRIMARY PLAN IN SECOND. Wyandotte Will Use Ballot System to Express t hoicc. Kansas City, Mo..

I Woman Finally Recovers From Nervous Breakdown Impoverished nerves destroy many people before their time. Often be fore a sufferer realizes what the trouble is, he is on the verge of a complete nervous breakdown. It is of the utmost importance to keep your nervous system in good con dition, as the nerves are the source of all bodily power. Mrs. Anna Kounz, 2ii Mechanic St., Pueblo, Colo., says: "For many years I suffered from nervous prostration; I was unable to do any house work and doctors failed to help me. Remedies I tried from druggists did not do me a particle of good. A neighbor told my husband about Dr. Miles' Nervine and he procured a bottle. After the first few ddses I showed a marked improvement and after taking two bottles I was entirely cured. I have been perfectly well for years and cannot praise Dr. Miles' Nervine too highly." If you are troubled with loss of appetite, poor digestion, weakness, inability to sleep; if you are in a general run down condition and unable to bear your part of the daily grind of life, you need some thing to strengthen your nerves. You may not realize what is the mat ter with you, but that is no reason why you should delay treatment. Dr. Miles' Nervine 3 has proven its value in nervous dis orders for thirty years, and merits a trial, no matter how many other remedies have failed to help you. Sold by all druggists.

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOTTRTTAE MARCH 29, 1912 RAILR0AD NEWS Roads in Topeka Send Out Ex plosive Warnings. Ask Employees to Be Careful in Handling. HEAVY PENALTIES ARE HELD Both Carrier and Shipper Will Be Liable. Warren J. Crumbine and Miss Grace Gaines, Who Take the Leading Parts in the Wash burn Dramatic Club Play, "The Little Minister." Other Items of General Interest in Traffic World. Effective the last day of this month, the railroads .Uh headquarters in To peka, announce that they will adopt in addition to their regular rules the in terstate commerce commission regula tions for the transportation of dan gerous articles and explosives. These regulations have been forward ed to the railroad headquarters of the Santa Fe and Rock Island in Topeka and distributed over the systems from this city. The rules really are nothing more than the regulations adopted by the American Railway association sev eral years ago but now that the in terstate commerce commission has been awakened to the fact that there is merit in them, the railroads have joined bands gladly. The fact that heavy penalties have 'been fixed to be applied to the shipper and the carrier who disregard the rules of packing and shipping dangerous ar ticles and explosives, has attracted at tention in railway circles. Must Mark Packages. Sections 235 and 236 of the act of March 4, 1909. require the shipper of dangerous articles to describe and mark his packages properly and to inform the agent of the carrier of the true character of their contents. Heavy penalties are provided for the shipper who knowingly solicits the transporta tion of dangerous articles without complying with these requirements, as well as for the carrier that knowingly transport them. To promote the uniform enforcement of law and to minimize the dangers to life and property incident to the transportation by land in interstate commerce of dangerous articles other than explosives, the regulations are prescribed to define these articles for freight transportation purposes, to state the precautions that must be observed by the shipper in preparing them for shipment, and by the carrier in hand ling them while in transit. It is the duty of each such carrier to make the prescribed regulations effective and to thoroughly instruct its employees, and of shippers to properly acquaint them selves therewith. Specifications as to containers, meth ods of packing for shipment, etc., will be considered and prescribed from time to time. Orders prescribing such specifications will be given effective dates as conditions and investigations may appear to warrant. The bureau for the safe transpor tation of explosives and other danger ous articles, maintained by the rail ways under the auspices of the Ameri can Railway association, is an efficient bureau in charge of an expert chief inspector. This bureau will make in spections and conduct investigations and will confer with manufacturers ani shippers with a view to determining what specifications and regulations will within reasonable limits afford the highest degree of safety in packing and preparing these dangerous articles for shipment. WORK STARTS OX M., O. G. Contract for 300 Miles in Oklahoma. Kansas and Missouri. Kansas City, Mo., March 2 9.

Warren J. Crumbine as the "Little Minister" and Grace Gaines as "Lady Babbie" promise to be the "hits" of the annual play of the Washburn Dramatic club to be given at the Grand this evening. Crumbine star red in the outdoor Washburn play on the campus last fall in "A Midsum mer Night's Dream." Miss Gaines was in this play and has taken a lead ing role in two Topeka high school plays, "Mistress Merideth" and "Little Savage." The annual performance of the college dramatic club given tonight is one of the most important events in college circles. The collegians will send a number of line parties to the Grand and the faculty will be there in a body. The recent custom of the Dramatic club in making it necessary that all members qualify for positions on the cast has given the performances of the organization a professional tinge. claimed that the relations of the Har riman lines and the Salt Lake !are such that if Mr. Wells leaves the gen eral manager's office, a Harriman man will be named to succeed him and take charge of the operation of the system. HYDRAULIC BUMPING POST. RUMOR OF COAST (HAXGK. Ilibbard to Succeed General Manager Wells of Salt Lake.' San Bernardino, Cal.. March 29. Rumors were current among both Salt Lake and Santa Fe railroad men and offices that II. K. Wells, general man ager of the Salt Lake, has resigned, and that I. L. Hibbard, general super intendent of the Santa Fe, had been named to succeed him. No confirmation of the rumor was available. Various Salt Lake men claimed that the story was given cred ence about railroad circles in Los Angeles'. Although believing it was possible that R. K. Wells had left the Salt Lake, Santa Fe men expressed them selves as doubting the part Mr. Hib bard occupies in the rumor. They French "Heutoir" Will Hold Train at Hish Speed. The Orleans railway has recently installed in its station at Tours, France, a hydraulic heutoir, or bump ing post, which looks something like coast defense guns. The Revue Gen erable des Chemins de Fer says, "it is analogous to hydraulic brakes em ployed for killing the recoil of can nons or the shock of wings of turn ing bridges of large dimensions and rapid evolutions." It will absorb the force of a train of 400 tons moving at 16 kilometers an hour. In tests made with a train of 12 cars loaded with coal at speeds up to over 10 kilometers an hour, the load was shifted in the cars with slight damage to the cars themselves the center of gravity of the loads being above the line of the shock. The bumper was not damaged, nor the locomotive and the engineer felt only a shock "not presenting for him any danger." RAILWAY NOTES. Tiie Rock Island has placed an order for 30.560 tons of steel rails, which, is one of the largest contracts for rails closed in months. Cincinnati grain shippers have agreed to return grain doors of cars to the railroad, saving the initial lines about $2,000 an nually and team tracks in that city are to be closed to all shippers except thos whose shipments are designed for points on the line on which they originate. The 1912 program of the Pennsylvania railroad, so far, calls for the building of ninety-four locomotives at its Altoona shops. The company also will build thirty-three new steel cars, five dining and twenty-six baggage and mail cars. Receivers of the Kansas City, Mexico Orient Railway company will be asked to recommend that the general offices of the company be moved from Kansas City to Wichita. Argument to back up this request that will be made to the receivers in a few days is contained in the state ment that the present general offices are located in a city not touched by Orient lines, while if they are located in Wich ita the offices will be in direct touch with not only the operation but the traffic de partments of the road. Wichita is the present northern terminus of the Orient. Transportation rates on lemons from California points to destination in Colo rado and similarly situated territory must not exceed $1 a hundred pounds. An or der was issued by the interstate com merce commission requiring the carriers to re-establish the $1 rate rot later than April 30 for a period of at least two years. ine proposed rate xi.15 was found unrea sonable. i The Wabash has placed an order for i.wo coal and box cars. The Rock Island is slicing its shop forces at Horton, Kan. The February output of new bonds, short term notes and stocks by railroads and industrial corporations of this coun try established a new high record for that month, aggregating $239,6S5,200. an in crease of $23,726,000. So far this year the new financing has amounted to $5S0.57S,0a6. which is an increase, of $139.4T0.046 over the corresponding period of last year. There has been a large increase in stocks and note issues and a falling off in the output of bonds. There has also been a large increase in industrial bonds ani short term notes. WAS A PIONEER OF TOPEKA. Willard S. Nichols, Wealthy Banker or Colorado Springs, Lived Here. CUJ1E5 BLOOD- poison Willard S. Nichols, who died last week in Colorado Springs, came to To peka in 1857 and lived on the farm immediately south of Washburn college A Colorado Springs paper prints the following notice of his death: "Willard S. Nichols, a wealthy and prominent pioneer banking and mining man of this city, died suddenly oi paralysis of the heart at 6:15 o'clock last evening as he lay on a couch ir the libary of his home at 705 North Nevada avenue. Mr. Nichols, who was 73 years of age, had been feeling un usually well, and news of his sudden death came as a great shock to his many friends. Surviving Mr. Nichols are his wife, Mrs. Harriett L. Nichols; a daughter, Miss Louie Nichols, and two sons. Johu L. Nichols, a bookkeeper at the Ex change National bank, and Frank W. Nichols of Denver. The funeral pro bably will be held from the residence Wednesday under Masonic auspices. "Mr. Nichols was one of Colorado Springs' most highly respected pio neers. He came from Topeka, Kan., where he was one of the earliest set tlers, in the early '70s and in 1873 took up a homestead at Summit park, near Woodland park. In 1875 he married Miss Harriet Long, and a few year. later moved to Colorado Springs where he has since lived. Shortly after com ing here Mr. Nichols engaged in the wholesale grocery business in which he continued until 1901. He became in terested in the development of the Crip ple Creek gold camp and grubstaked many prospectors in the early days of the camp. The Mary McKinney, in which he was heavily interested, is one of the largest mines of the dis trict. For the last 20 years Mr. Nich ols had been interested In the banking business in this city. He was one of the organizers of the Colorado Savings bank.

Friends university of this city, the Quaker school, is to permit rugby football again after having barred it five years. The managing board this afternoon voted 7 to 5 to restore the game. HELP UNOBTAINABLE Awakened in Night to Find Her self Almost Smothered. Was in Weakened Condition for Several Hours. HEARD OF NEW METHOD Health Is Restored in a Wonder ful Short Length Time. Nothing Now But Sunshine and Happiness in Her Life. When acen recently Mrs. Lucy Covert, rf 1744 Wabash avenue. Wichita, also well known in Topeka. spoke interest ingly regarding her experience with the new tonic, "Tona Vita," now being in troduced in this city by specialists sent here for that purpose. Mrs. Covert said: "It gives me great nlpasure to tell what 'Tona Vita' has done for me. When I began the use of this tonic I had weak and nervous spells. I was so nervous I could not stand excitement of any kind. If any thing startled me my heart would nut tpr or beat rapidly. "I finally got so I would waKe up out of my sleep with a smothered feeling and my heart would beat so violently that it would leave me very weak for hours afterwards. The food that I ate did not agree with me or as a result I would suffer from indigestion. "After taking a few doses of 'Tona Vita.' I felt a great relief. ,1 could hardly believe it myself, I slept better at night and would waken in the morn ing feeling refreshed. My nervousness has entirely disappeared and I can eat what I want, without painful results. In fact I feel like an entirely different woman, this is what two bottles of 'Tona Vita' has done for me. I believe it "s the best tonic I have ever taken and it will do all it is claimed to do. It will remove the dark cloud of de spair and bring sunshine into your life." Mrs. Covert's case was pure and sim ple nervous debility, which is likely to be found existing in any Topeka fam ily," said one of the specialists sent here to introduce "Tona Vita" this morning. "Half of the people of this city find life a burden and have little real pleasure as a result of this modern plague," continued he. "Such people and there are lots of them, have uncertain appetites, poor di gestion, uneasy sleep, little ambition, and they feel too tired for the simplest work most of the time. They suffer from timidity, have no initiative, are droopy and haven't enough good rich blood in their veins to make them cap able or self reliant. Their nerves are in such a conditions that they imagine themselves afflicted with various dis eases at different times. The real trouble with them is debility, produced by the strain of modern life they are forced to lead. There is little of this ailment among the people of the coun try, the freedom of which permits them to observe nature's limitations. "Tona Vita' will positively remove this condition. If it fails to prove sat isfactory, it costs nothing, as the tonic must do the work, or we don't want money for it" The specialists who are introducing "Tona Vita" are giving demonstrations of what the preparation will do. All day long between the hours of 9 a. m. and 8 p. m., they meet callers at the Arnold Drug Company's Store, 523 Kan sas Avenue, and explain the nature of this modern plague nervous debility vU(QjUU0) s The pick of the cotton seed is chosen for the making of Cottolene.

St. Louis, Mo., March 29. Colonel Roosevelt was told here that he was Quoted as having said in Chicago that Republicans were not bound to re pect nominations secured by "thug gery," nominations In this case re ferring to the nominations of the Chi cago convention. "There was no al lusion to the Chicago convention," he declared. "The allusions were specif ically to what had been done in New York, Indianapolis and Denver. No such sentence as that including the word thuggery wag used. "What I stated was that such con ventions as those in New York. In dianapolis and Denver were in no way representative or binding upon Re publicans. I stand on what I said in Boston and what I said yesterday." At Boston Colonel Roosevelt in an swering the question the day after he made public his reply to the seven governors if he would support the nominee of the Chicago convention eald "Of course I will." "Any Btory that does not come from me Is a fake," Colonel Roosevelt said, wtitn he replied to a question if the story that managers of the Roose velt league had obtained an option on a hall in Chicago to hold a rump con vention if necessary. Alexander H. Revell, president of the league, also verified his denial. While resting at a hotel Colonel Roosevelt met leaders of the faction of the Republicans in the state who are supporting his can didacy. He conferred at length with Governor Hadlev. NOW MOLASSES ROADS Blaok strap May Be Used to Make j Highways Better. FIRE SPREAD QUICKLY Unprotected Floor Opening to Blame in Equitable Building. Washington, March 29. The people of the United States may be riding over roads of molasses in the near fu ture. The bureau of good roads is making experiments near here with a very cheap grade of molasses, mixed with lime water, as a dust laying cover for roads. Logan W. Page, director of the bureau, said today that in the beet sugar country the cheap "black strap" molasses, now destroyed as of no vailue, might be used in this road work. The bureau is testing various kinds of surface and undersurface materials on stretches of suburban roads. New York, March 29. The report of the board of fire underwriters on the result of its exhaustive investica tion of the Equitable building fire, has just been made public. Chief blame for the catastrophe is placed on the unprotected floor openings which per mitted the flames to spread out over the upper floors and on the cast iron columns supporting the floors, which caused their collapse. The report con tinues: "Although the fire department is entitled to credit of having done all that could be expected with the facili ties available, it is apparent that the fire, at least above the level of the fifth floor burned unrestrained throughout the entire area of the building. It calls attention to-the in ability of any fire department to fight a fire which has once gained headway in the upper stories of a tall building lacking such essential fire appliances as an adequate standpipe equipment in conjunction with smoke-proof stair towers. The height of buildings should be limited in proportion to the effect tiveness of their fire protection if life and. property are to be conserved."

12 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL- MARCH 29, 1912 LIKE HENRY CLAY T. It. Says He Would Rather Be Bight Than Be President Only He Puts the Sentiment Into Iiooseveltlan Language. HE MAKES FIVE SPEECHES 11 11 1 if During a Day and Evening Spent In St. Louis. Again Discusses Right of the People to Rule. St. Louis, March 29. Colonel Roose velt stated his case to the people ol Missouri while' here. He made flv speeches in this city and another in East St. Louis, in which he explained his political doctrines. The streets were drenched with a downpour of rain, but Colonel Roosevelt found a crowd awaiting him at the station when hi arrived, and large audiences which ap plauded him wherever he spoke. The colonel put in a day which kept him busy from the time he stepped from his train before breakfast until well on toward midnight, when it was time for him to start for St. Paul. In addition to making six speeches, he attended a breakfast; luncheon and din ner, issued two statements, sent a mes sage to the Illinois senate, covered a large part of the city in his Jaunts from place to place by automobile, and between times found opportunity to go over the political situation with tho leaders of the Roosevelt campaign in Missouri. The former president spoke briefly at the dinner tended him by the Millioi; Population club. Colonel Roosevelt's main speech was delivered in the First Regiment arm cry. He discussed "the right of the people to rule" and talked largely in the same vein as in his speech in New .York last week upon the same topic. In his address at the luncheon given by the City club. Colonel Roosevelt dis cussed the recall of judicial decisions. Six Judges, four of them on the federal bench, were seated at the table with him. V "My proposition has been discussed by my opponents in a frame of mind which makes hysteria seem calm bj comparison," he said, "Somebody told me that I was right on that proposal, but that -I shouldn't have interjected it into a campaign. I said that I wasn't in the least inter ested in the campaign except as a means of getting justice. I'd a million times rather lose the campaign and get justice than win it without getting Justice." Colonel Roosevelt referred to the days when he was police commission er of New Tork and said that he made that city apoplectic with rage by en forcing the Sunday liquor law, "until they got a decision that 17 beers and one pretzel made a meal." Since the law provided that liquor might be sold with meals on Sunday; he said, New Tork has had joy uncoriflned evet since. Four Other Speeches. The second speech was made at the Merchants' Exchange. where Colonel Roosevelt discussed his proposal for the creation of an interstate business com mission to deal with large corporations Thence he went to the-Coliseum, looked in on the household show, and spBke for two minutes. The remaining two speeches, in the Armory and in East St. Louis were delivered in the even ine. i' A telegram to the Illinois senate was A Reasonable Plea For the Stomach If Your Stomach Is Lacking in 1)1 Keative Power, Why Not Help the Stomach Do Its Work? Especially When It Costs Nothing to Try. Not with drugs, but with a rein forcement of digestive agents, such as are naturally at work in the stomach? Scientific analysis shows that diges tion requires pepsin, nitrogenous fer ments, and the secretion of hydrochlo ric acid. When your' food fails to di gest, it is proof positive that some of these agents are lacking in your di gestive apparatus. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets-" contain nothing but these natural elements necessary to digestion and when placed at work in the weak stomach and small intestines, supply what these organs need. They stimulate the gastric glands and gradually bring the digestive organs back to their normal condition. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been subjected to critical chemical tests at home and abroad and are found to contain nothing but natural diges tives. Chemical Laboratory.

The colonel wired his regrets and said that a presidential primary law, to consider which the legislature is in session, was an important stef towards securing to the people the right to rule themselves. 'He assailed the politicians and the "crooked men of wealth" who, he said, were oppos ing such measures. Colonel Roosevelt received a tumul tuous welcome when he reached the armory. All of the seats were filled and hundreds of persons were stand ing. As he mounted the platform, thf people rose to their feet with a cheei, waving small flags which the Roosevelt committee had distributed. Governor Hadley introduced the col onel. The first reference which Col onel Roosevelt had made to the tariff in his present campaign was brought into the speech. "I have not spoken on the tariff," he said, "because I have little to add to what I said two years ago. in up holding an honest fulfillment of what the Republican platform contained on that subject." The colonel said he would lay em phasis on one additional point, which was that the tariff should be regulatec for the benefit of the wage earner anc the farmer, and that the benefit should not all accrue to. the men at the heads of large business operations. The speaker repeated the charges that improper means were used to de feat the Roosevelt candidates at the primaries in New York. "What happened in New York." he said, "shows that there is ample mis sionary work down there for any Mis sourians you can spare. "Here in Missouri," he continued, "they have arranged for contesting delegations to the Chicago convention in districts where they could hardly procure -a corporal's guard to make the contest. They can only hope that at Chicago they can repeat what was done m New York. His Armory Speech. In his speech at the Armory last night he sud: "When I sav that I believe not only in the right of the people to rule,, but in their duty to rule themselves and t afn tn onhmit tn being ruled by ntvioro t am not usine a figure of speech, I am speaking of a vital issue which fundamentally anecia vw..v. American life. "There are peoples in the world wno Ko,, nrm7Dii iw tbeir lamentable ex periences that they are not capable of v.i if-ntrnl- but .1 contend that the American people most empiiduLm- ly are capable ot it. 1 noia o mir neoole can, ana will govern themselves a great deal better than any small set 01 men govern them. The attempt nas re- Kopn mnrle to improve on tv,t a t. a vi T.incnine statement mo... v.ic is a pnvprnm ent of the people, ti, nprnii hv the people." As a substitute therefore it is proposed that this government shall hereafter .,mor.t rvf the Deople, for the people, by a representative part of the people, it is aiway 'r matter to try to improve on Lincoln when we deal with the rights and du ties of the people In substance it, of course means nothing except that this is to be a government of the whole people by a part of the people. "Now I want each of you to consider this governmental proposition from his own individual standpoint. Our conten tion is that just as each individual wishes, and ought to wish, to rule his own life for himself, so that all indi viduals taken, together; that is, the people must wish themselves to rule their collective life and not to be ruled by others. Each of us here wants to lead his own life himself. Is not that true of you? It certainly is true of me, and if I found it was not true of any of my sons I would feel like disinherit ing them. I want to lead my own life for myself and not to have anyone else lead it for me or boss me tn leading it. Tyrannical Majorities. "If people can not rule themselves then they are not fit for free govern ment and all talk about democracy is a sham. I do not for a moment mean that we, the people, will not occasion ally make mistakes, but after all, they will be our mistakes and not somebody else's and we can cure them ourselves. Experience has shown that the effort to substitute for the genuine rule of the people something else always means the rule of privilege in some form or other, sometimes political privilege, some times financial privileges, often a mix ture of both. "Whenever there is tyranny by the majority I shall certainly fight it. But the tyrannies from which we have been suffering in this country have, ninety nine times out of a hundred, been ty rannies of a minority, that is tyranny by privilege. Sometimes, as in the case of some public utility franchise or other bit of grabbing by a few of what be longs to the many, the tyranny is pri marily commercial; at other times it is primarily political. This, for instance, is true just at the present day in those, states where the people have been de nied the right to vote at primaries in order to express their preferences for president. By the way, a ludicrous feature of the Michigan situation has been that the men who denied the right of the people to vote at the primaries did it by passing the primary law ;n such shape that it would only take effect after the latest date that pri maries could be held to elect delegates to the convention in June. This repre sents a merely meaner form of opposi tion to the movement for public de cency than would have been a straight out vote against the entire proposition. We Rule Ourselves. "In a government like ours, our rep resentatives do not rule us in the sense that a monarch or an aristocracy rules over the people. We, the people,- rule ourselves and what we really want from our representatives is that they shall manage the government for us along the lines we lay down. We wel come leadership and advice, of course and we are content to let experts dc the expert business to which we as sign them without fussy interference from us. But the expert must under stand that he is carrying out our gen eral purpose and not substituting his own for it. The leader must under stand that he leads us, by convincing us o that we will follow his direction. He must not get it into his head that it Is -his business to drive us To illustrate what 1 mean,!, take the Pan ama canal under Colonel Goethals That has been the biggest job of the kind' ever undertaken, by any nation. After trying several experiments, we finally found In Colonel Goethals the man who could do the job. and we get him to work, and no job of the size has ever been done better. We have been delighted to give him a free hand and let him manage the whole affair. But we first of all decided that we wanted a canal, and that we wanted it in Panama and that we wanted it of a given type, and then set Colonel Goethals to work to realize those vari ous wishes of ours. .Well, what is true of Colonel Goethals Is true of all other public officials, from a justice of the peace and an alderman up to the president and the chief justice oi the United States. Each one of them is managing his special bit of work in the public interest, just exactly as Colonel Goethals is managing the build ing of the Panama canal in the public interest. "We rule ourselves and we choose our representatives not to rule up, but to manage the public business for us along the lines we have approved. The men who disbelieve in the rule of the people, and who think the people should be ruitid by a part of them (for to -call such a part 'a representative part' is entirely meaningless), treat the constitution as a straight-jacket for restraining an un ruly patient the people. We, on the contrary, treat the constitution as an instrument designed to secure justict through giving full expression to the de liberate and well thought-out judgment of the people. They are false friends of the people and enemies of true constitu tional government, who endeavor to twist the constitution aside from this pur pose. Powers of Pillage. "We are engaged at the present day in a great struggle for social and industrial justice in this country, and our chief op ponents in this struggle are the powers of pillage, the powers that profit by priv ilege at the expense of the Tights of the plain people as a whole. 1 advocate gen uine popular rule in nation, in state, in city, in county, as offering the best pos sible means for eliminating special priv ilege alike in politics and in business, and for getting a genuine equality of oppor tunity for every man to show the stuff there is in him. I do not demand equal ity of reward. There is wide inequality of service, and where this is the case it is but just that there should be inequality of reward, for it would be the rankest kind of injustice to reward the man who renders worthless service as well as we strive, however inadequately, to reward him who renders service that is literacy priceless. But I do ask that we endeavor to shape our governmental policy so as to bring about a measurable equality of op portunity for all men and all women o as to do justice to rich and to poor. I believe it is even more important for men to pay heed to their duties and to the rights of others than it for them to pay heed to their own rights. But I believe also they can only do their full duty when they enjoy fully their rights. I hold that we of this nation are false to our professions, false to the traditions hand ed down to us by the founders and the preservers of the republic if we do not make it in very truth a real republic, a democracy in fact as. well as in name, a democracy where each man stands on his worth, as a man and Is judged as such; a democracy in which the people really rule themselves, where their -representatives manage the government for them." READY FOR FESTIVAL. Next Week Is Messiah Week at Lintls borg. Lindsborg, Kan., Marclu 29. Prepara tions are being completed for the thirtieth annual rendering of Handel's "Messiah" which is given every year by the oratorio society of Bethany college here. The musical festival this year will be from Sunday, March 31, to Sunday, April 6, in clusive. The "Messiah" will be sung by a chorus of W5 voices accompanied by the Bethany symphony orchestra. Carl Ros enber is conductor. The principal singers include Mme. Jennie Norelli of New York, known as "The Swedish Nightingale" so prano; Miss Mildred Parker of New York, contralto; Mr. John Hoffman, Cincinnati, tenor; and Mr. Gustaff Holmquist of Chi cago, basso. The move for this annual musical festi val was started by the late Carl Swen3 son, founder of Bethany college, in 1SS1. In the spring of 1S82. the first chorus fifty voices sung the "Messiah", at Lindsborg. Since then the chorus has grown to its present number of 6t5 voices. The singing of the "Messiah" is the event of the year. The oratorio was com posed by Handel when he was 5t years old. It is divided into three parts. The first part expresses the longing cf the world for Christ; the promise of his coming and the announcement of his birth. The second tells of the life and death of Christ. The third describes thf! triumphs of Christian faith, and close3 with the song of the redeemed. Two Negroes Lynched. Blacksburg, N. C, March 29.

McCutcheon. i1 TO USEJIRELESS Marconi's Visit May Mean Commercializing of System. Business Grows Faster Than Lines Are Built. PLANS WIRELESS TELEPHONE Inventor May Be Working on New Flan, Friends Believe. Borden Again Foresees Pros perity, Holland Says. New York, March 29. Marconi's visit to the United States at the present time is presumably in part explained by the announcement that the Wireless Telegraph company identified by his name is about to absorb the United companies, doing that upon a basis which will be, as alleged, satisfactory to the interests of the stockholders of both companies. Mr. Marconi's presence in the United States district court for several hourt on Monday of this week when the an nouncement was made of the arrange ment between the Marconi and tht United Wireless Telegraph companies justified the belief that he came to the United States at this time to aid in perfecting arrangements which would put an end to long litigation. While this was undoubtedly the chief reason for the coming of Marconi tc the United States at this time it has been the presumption that before he returns to England he will speak to men of capital of certain projects which he has in mind. In a recent in terview he intimated that the experi ments which those who have been per fecting the wireless system have con ducted have justified them in believ ing that it is only a question of in venting the proper apparatus to make commercially practicable long distance telephoning through the utilization of the Hertzian electric waves. This intimation is in line with hints or- forecasts which Edison and George Westinghouse have occasionally made, although always in the way of con jecture. The men of science have been convinced since Marconi perfected ap paratus which would so utilize electric waves created by high electric dis charges as to convey messages from the western coast of Ireland to the eastern coast of Newfoundland that from the point of view of science this natural phenomenon ought to be as serviceable for the transmission of tel ephonic messages. In one of the ad dresses delivered by Mr. Westinghouse about two years ago he intimated his belief that the electric atmospheric waves could ultimately be so utilized by apparatus as to make it possible to operate from shore a torpedo or even to explode a mine or reach the maga zine of a battleship. Of course, if apparatus could be invented by which electricity could be conveyed from a station upon the shore to a battleship, threatening its magazine, science would provide the way by which the maga zine could be perfectly protected. But a demonstration of the feasibility of utilizing energy sufficient to control a torpedo boat or to endanger electric waves for the purpose of conveying a battleship would also prove hypotheti cally the ability to utilize these waves for the conveyance of telephone mes sages. Edison has pictured the time in a future not distant when every one car carry around a pocket telephone S' tuned as to respond to a like instru ment in his own hefrne with which he can at any time communicate with hit family or friends. Marconi, apparent ly, has no thought of the development Copyright: 1912: by John T. McCutcheon You Are Going to Buy Shoes For Easter We do not say that you MUST come here there are other shoe stores but we do say that if you come here you will never regret it. We offer you some advantages you'll not find elsewhere. We particularly call attention to the superior style qualities of our shoes.

Then when you come into our store and try on our shoes better, still, when you have worn a pair you'll understand what we mean when we say "Our Shoes fit," are absolutely "comfortable," and "re tain their shape" with "long, hard service." We are going to be very busy Easter Saturday. With the best intentions and greatest errort, can assure you of the telephone so greatly as to make it a pocket instrument of the kinc hinted at by Ediscn. He does believe, apparently, that science and inventivt skill will, before long, have perfected apparatus by means of which long distance telephoning will be commer cially practicable. -What Does Mr. Vail Think? President Theodore N. Vail, of the Western Union. would undoubtedly greatly appreciate commercially prac ticable apparatus of that kind. Mi. Vail has discovered within a few years that the demand for long distance tel ephoning is increasing more rapidly than it has been possible for telephone construction to meet the demands. Recently it has been reported that long distance plans will have been comple ted within a few months which, by the utilization of the phantom circuit apparatus, will make it possible tc communicate by telephone from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast. Yet while this may be possible it is presumably not commercially practicable, since the cost of telephonic messages of that kind would be practically prohibitive. Marconi has intimated that science and invention are likely soon to per fect apparatus by means of which tel ephonic communication can be convey ed by the agency of the Hertzian waves from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast. Apparently Marconi has reasoned out that transatlantic telephoning, at least between the coast of Newfoundland and the coast of Ireland, by the agency' of atmospheric electric waves is ar achievement of the near future. The Submarine Telephone. Science has already domonstrated that it is possible to construct ocean cables equipped with the apparatus invented by Professor Pupin of Columbia university capable of conveying telephonic communi cation intelligibly from ocean shore to ocean shore. Although science seems to have conquered this problem, yet it re mains so far, commercially impracticable to place any reliance upon an ocean cable for telephonic communication. There has been some surmise that Mar coni, since he has been In New York, mAy have in some detail spoken o the presum able development of the long-distance telephonic communication by means of atmosphereic electric waves.

Sixth St. settled communities is thought to justiry the impression that Marconi has given considerable study to this subject. Mean, while, the development of the telephonic system of the United States proceeds with even greater rapidity than ten years ago President Vail, according to his inti mate friends, thought possible. The de mand for telephone installation in much of the region west of the Mississippi river continues to be very great. In fact, it is believed that adequate telephonic com munication in much of the region west ot the Missouri valley will serve almost a greatly to develop that region as will tho construction of additional railways. It Is a fact that withi the satisfactory termina tion of the long-continued litigation be tween the Marconi and the United Wire less telephone companies it is the expecta tion that Marconi will leave to subordi nates the further development of wire less stations so that he may have oppor tunity to work out some projects which, in their inception, seem almost as chi merical as did hds original conception of telegraphing through the utilization of at mospheric electric waves. M. C. D. Borden's Latest Move. Matthew C. D. Borden is one of the men of affairs who do great things in a great way. Today he is acknowledged tn be the conspicuous leader in one of the great departments of American cotton manufacture. Mr. Borden acts always on his own judgment. He is without superior in a capacity for intuitive judgments re specting business situations and business opportunities. He has the gift of very rapidly collecting the needed data upon which to base a judgment and ther. quickly assimilating the facts. His mind operates with wonderful quickness, in that respect resembling Mr. Morgan in the field of finance and the late E. H. Harriman in the field of railway con struction. It will always be a tradition in the world of cotton manufacturing that Mr. Borden was the first of the manufactur ers of New Kngland to detect the signs of a revival of business prosperity in the latter part of President Cleveland's ad ministration. Business had been wofully stagnant for three or four years. Th Baring failure In London, followed, as that was, by the currency panic in the United States due to the apprehension that the government would be compelled to lapse to the exclusive silver basis, so greatly prostrated business that for the first time in many years soup kitchens were established in New York city, since even the skilled workmen were without employment and their families were act ually hungry. About the year 1896, when business was still prostrate, the announcement was made that Mr. Borden had purchased an enormous quantity of cotton. The an nouncement was correct and the mere fact that M. C. D. Borden had ventured at that time to make what is now a his toric purchase of cotton, so far as any one purchase was concerned, tended of itself to stimulate the cotton manufactur ing business. What Mr. Borden then did proved to be not based upon rash or reck less judgment. He foresaw, a year earlier than most men of business, the revival of business prosperity. Mr. Borden's re cent action in raising the wages of the thousands of employees in his mills In Fall River 10 per cent is another illustra tion of hi wxv of doing things. He has led. in this respect, and presumably other manufacturers must, lunuw. n v we try to maintain so, come early.

For either the faded' blonde's skin or the brunette's oily or sallow com plexion, the best remedy is ordinary mercolized wax, securable at any drug store (an ounce will do).
