COMPARES IT TO LORIMER REGULARS TAKE APPEAL MEMBER OFOLDEST DYNASTY Ancestry Runs Back 2,500 Years in Unbroken Line. One Hundred and Twenty-First Ruler of the Family. Tokio, July 30. The emperor of Japan died at 12:43 o'clock this morning. He has been succeeded on the throne by the crown prince, Yoshi Hito. The emperor had been unconscious flnce dawn Monday. From that hour his respiration had become more feeble and he passed away in the presence of the members of the imperial family and the ministers of state. The great crowds which had been gathered for days outside the park sur rounding the palace remained till the nd in hushed silence and even when Ms majesty's death was announced re mained in the vicinity seemingly hope lessly depressed. ft V Vt WKADO QFJAPAN The crown prince was overcome by the sad event and remained at the pal ace in consultation with the minister of state arranging for'the imperial fun eral and for the conduct of state affairs. The edict announcing Yoshi Hito's suc- cession to the htrone will be published made- His the Oldest Dynasty. Emperor Mutsu-Hito-Tenwo was born November 3, 1852, at Kyoto, and has reigned since 1867, when He suc ceeded his father, Kamel. He mar ried in 1869 the daughter of FTince Ichijo. The heir apparent to the throne is Prince Yoshihito, who was born August 31. 1879. Mutsu-Hito-Tenwo, emperor of Japan, was the representative of the oldest roval dynastv extant. Ho was the one hundred arid twenty-first em peror of his dynasty which dates back in an unbroken line 2,5 55 years. He was the direct descendant of Ginmu, the "divine conqueror," who according to Japan mythology, "descended from heaven on the white bird of the clouds." Ginmu's task in mythological role of divine conqueror was the sub jugation of the Ainos, a very warlike race, whose descendants are still found In the northern extremity of Japan. Having subdued these fierce Ainos, Ginmu proclaimed himself to be tenshi," "the son of heaven and established the still existing dynasty in 66Its no exaggeration, therefore, to pay that through the veins of Mutsu-Hito-Tenwo flowed the very bluest of blue blood." Personally, thewmperor had a pleasant appearance. He was very tall for a Japanese, almost six feet. He was muscular and well pro portioned. He had a broad, high fore head, and judged by the most exacting standard of manly beauty was a hand Borne sovereign. TO BEGIN TO KILL. Mexican Rebels Threaten the Lives of Americans. El Paso. July 29. Louis Lach, a Mormon from Dublan, who arrived here with his family last night said today: "General Salazar told us at Casas Grandes and again at Pearson that if intervention did not come from the Americans within the next few days the rebels will begin to kill ev ery American they find and keep up the massacre until America was forced to cross the border. Salazar stated that It was the direct order of General Orozco." Held I'nder Bond. San Antonio, July 29. Emilia Vas quez Gomez and five of his followers today were held under heavy bonds to a federal grand jury on charges of violating United States neutrality laws. This action was ordered at the prelim inary hearing of the accused men. Several weeks ago Gomez went to Juarez to assume the provlnvial presi dent of Mexico, a disagreement with Orozco, the rebel ch ef, upset the plan. All to Be Disarmed. El Paso, July 29. The correspondent of the El Paso Herald wired a state ment here today declaring that Gen. Inez Salazer, second in command of the Mexican rebel army had made sev eral addresses Sunday, in which he as serted that all Americans in the rebel zone were to be disarmed, and all protec tion guaranteed for American citizens withdrawn. Salazar is reported as say ine that in as much as the American government had treated the rebels as bandits they may as well act such parts. H. C. Wiley Died at Garden City. Garden City, Kan., July 29. H. C. Wi ley, president of the Great Western Land company, died this morning through a complication of diseases. He J has been ill seven weeks. MX ..Vbk ACCIDENT TENTH AND TOPEKA Golden Was Driving a Buggy on Car Tracks. He Suffered Cut in Head and Two Broken Ribs. Ben F. Golden, 85 years old, was struck down by a street car and drag ged several feet near .the corner of Tenth and Topeka avenues this morn ing at S o'clock. Mr. Golden was driv ing his buggy toward Tyler, cut in front of the car, and was badly in jured in the smash-up. The confusion and the man's groans were heard for half a block: a crowd collected and Dr J. P. Mulvane was immediately called. Golden's buggy was smashed ana stands a wreck at the corner. "I think Golden will recover; there are no internal injuries," stated Dr. Mulvane, "but the man's age is against him. He has two broken ribs, his head is badly cut, and his knee and elbow are injured. He is an old settler. He's oeen in lopeka longer than I have, and I've been here 28 years." It was decided to carry the man o a hospital. "I want to go home," he insisted. "I think home is the best place for me." Golden has lived for many years at 215 West Tenth avenue, and Dr. Mu' vane carried him there in his car. Mr. Golden met them at the door, and as sisted in bathing and dressing her hus band's wounds. General opinion seems to be that the fault of the collision was Golden's. Nevertheless, residents living on To peka avenue near Tenth are excessive ly annoyed at the large number of ac cidents occurring near that corner. "Only a couple of weeks ago," said Mr. Klopfer, "I picked up little Harry Wiliiams, crushed under an automo bile. There have been more persons injured on this corner than at any other place in town." G. D. Luscomh was the motorman driving the street car, and Gay Cord ray the conductor. Luscomb is much disturbed over the whole affair. "This is the first accident I had in any place," he said. "I've been working here since April, and was with the company three years ago. First I saw of Ben Golden this morning he was going west on Tenth street. Just as I fot near him he turned directly acrosj could. That," eaid Luscomb anxiously, "seems to be about all I know." Luscomb said he had no Idea why mere were so many accidents on rentn street. "There is a good of traffic there," h? admitted, "but all the boys are careful. I wasn't making up schedule: I was right on time 7:50 to the minute." UNCLE SMI WINS Kansas City II Second, Drifter Third in Balloon Race. The Leading Gas Bag Came Down in Virginia. Kansas City, July 29. "America w-ill be represented in the international balloon race in Germany this fall by the bags Uncle Sam, Kansas Cityy II and Drifter," said George M. Myers, president of the Kansas City Aero club, when informed that the Uncle Sam had landed today at about a mile from Manassas. With the landing of, the Uncle Sam, cf which Captain H. E. Honeywell was pilot and Roy F. Donaldson, aid, all the seven contestants in the national elimination race that started from here last Saturday had ended their flight. The Uncle Sam outdistanced its nearest competitor, the Kansas City II. by 285 miles and beat the record of Lieutenant Lahm, who won the elimi nation race last year, by 445 miles. The Uncle Sam and the Kansas City TT which landed at Belleville, Mien., after going 640 miles, were both en tries of the Kansas City Aero, club In the elimination race. The pilot of the Kansas Citv II, John Watts, quaiihea as a pilot, only a few days before the racer started. His aid was G. E. Ouisenherrv of this city. The Drifter, which landed at New Berlin, Wis., 425 miles from Kansas City, yesterday rep resented the Cincinnati Aero club. Albert Holz was Its pilot and Chrales Trautman, aid. of the other four bags, the Good year, representing Akron, Ohio, which landed at Polo, 111., made tne best record, having traveled 415 miles. The Million Population Club I, which landed at Nora, 111., 350 miles from the start, and the Million Population Club II, which went down at Spring, Wis., 340 miles away, represented the St. Louis Million Population Club of St. Louis. The Cole, representing the Indian apolis Aero club, which came to earth at McGregor. Iowa, early yesterday morning, went 400 miles. The Kansas City Aero club received a message from Captain Honeywell, pilot of the Uncle Sam, stating: 'We landed safely at Manassas, va.. at 5 o'clock this morning." Kansas City. July 29. Driven to earth by a storm the balloon. Million Population club I of St. Louis, Pilot Captain John Berry, aid, Albert Von Hoffman, landed near Nora. 111., about 50 miles from Kansas City, at 3:4? Sunday morning according to a tele gram rrom captain Berry received here this morning. Captain Berry's telegram received at the Kansas City Aero club gave nc details. His delay in reporting was at tributed by club officials to the possi bility of his having landed in an out of the way spot difficult of access to a telegraph office. The message stated the landing had been ;nade in Wad- J dam's grove near Nora, 111. 1UE FIRST Wf STOP THEFLAMES Absence of Wind Prevents De struction of Morland. Four Buildings Are Destroyed When Blaze Threatens Town. Morland, Kan., July 29. Only the ab sence of wind from the Kansas plains made it possible to prevent the entire destruction of this city today. As it is, damage is heavy and there is still fear of fire. A lot of people here will sleep little tonight. Eire which was first discovered in the rear room of the Myer's Bros.' real estate office destroyed that build ing, the McDowell livery stable, the Herron barber shop and the Gillingham drug store. Small outbuildings were also destroyed. For a time it was oeiieved the town was doomed but splendid work by vol unteer Are fighters and the absence of wind saved the remainder of the business section and all of the resi dences from serious damage. The cause of the fire is unknown. ASKS WJM FOR BOY Mother Brings Suit for His Death From Fall From a Koof. The death of Hugh Wilson, 16 years old, resulting from a fall of 22 feet from the roof of a building at Fort Riley, Kansas, two years ago, was made the basis of a damage suit against Louis Van Dorp of Topeka, now filed in the district court. The sum of $10,000 Is asked by Arminda Wilscn, the boy's mother. According to the petition the boy was working for Van Dorp on the building, and was engaged in carrying slate shingles to workmen on the roof. Following orders of ihe foreman, she says, the boy placed several piles of the shingles along the cornice, ob structing the only pathway he had. In carrying other shingles to the work men, and in attempting to stop over the piles he had placed, she says he stumbled and fell to the ground. breaking his neck. Ha lived until September. 1911. TO OIL SILVER LAKE ROAD. Commissioners Will Experiment on Stretch West of Reform School. An experiment in oiling the upper Silver Lake road west of the reform school Is announced by the board of county commissioners. A mile of this road, immediately west of the school, is to be oiled, and if the experiment proves a success the entire road to Silver Lake will be treated to the oil. It is expected to begin work of oil ing the experimental mile next Mon day. The board has not used oil or any soil like that on the Silver Lake road, and do not know how much ad vantage there may be in such treat ment. Tomorrow morning work in reoiling the West Sixth and West Tenth ave nue roads will begin.. It is proposed tc place a thin coat on both highways tc protect the surface. Walter found his mother takling to a portly lady. "Walter," said his ma, "this is your great aunt." "Yes," said Walter, looking at her ample proportions; "sho looks it." Savannah News. GO SLOWJN COLD! Winter Schedule. Too Fast for Safety, Commission Rules. Twentieth Century Limited Not Wrecked by Broken Rail. Albany, N. Y., July 29. That the ac cident to the New York Central's Twentieth. Century limited at Hyde Park on March 13, was due to an ir regularity in superelevation of the outer rails, or what is more common ly known as a low spot in track, and not to a broken rail as was general ly supposed, is the finding of the state public service commission as the re sult of its investigation of the accident. In connection with its report the com mission recommends the reduction in the speed of passenger trains, especial ly in the winter season, and announces that the New Tork Central and Penn sylvania have practically consented to change the schedule of their 18-hour New York-Chicago trains to 20 hours during the winter. In the Hyde Park accident the Twen tieth Century limited was derailed while running at high speed and foui cars went over a 10 foot embankment into the Hudson river where they were stopped by heavy ice.' Seventy-three passengers and employees were injur ei. Frost Caused the Wreck. The commission reports: "The accident occurred at the end ol one of the most severe winters knowi when the frost was coming out of the ground. Heaving of the track had doubtless occurred in many places and at this point the heaving was proba bly especially uneven. The commis sion feels that an important subject to consider in connection with this acci dent is that of high speeds in the win ter and ea. ly spring when the tracks are subjected to the severest condi tions. "Alternate freezing and thawing make uneven track and the difficulty of in spection and repair is increased. In stead of the elastic roadbed of summer, the structure is almost as solid as rock and the strain on rails, on loco motive tires, and on car wheels, and axles is augmented by the resulting impact. "The record of accidents to fast trains during the last year raises the question whether the schedules are not too fast for safety. Whatever the fac tor of safety may be m summer, 11 must be materially reduced in winter." DROPPED INTO THE SEA Many Excursionists Drown at a Ger man Bathing Resort. Bomz, Germany. July 29. A shock ing catastrophe causing the deaths of many German excursionists occurred last evening at this Baltic bathing re sort. The landing stage, which was crowded to its utmost capacity dur ing a concert given by the local band, collapsed and threw more than a hun dred persons into the sea. Twenty one bodies have been recovered, but it is beileved that many more persons lost their lives. The excursionists had come from all parts of northeastern Prussia to spend the day on the sea shore. Weather Forecast for Kansas. Generally fair tonight and Tuesday. Not much change in temperature. FIND GIRL DEAD j Body Found at Catskill .Be- I lieved Dorcas. Snodgrass. Relatives, However, Believe She Is on Board Ship. Catskill, N. Y-, July 29. The body of a woman, found in the mud of Catskill creek, may prove to be that of M'ss Dorcas Snodgrass, the missing Mount Vernon nurse. The woman was dress ed in a linen crash suit and wore a diamond ring and a Christian Endeavor pin. Although the coroner does not believe that the body had been in the creek for more than three or four days, it was badly decomposed and it has been impossible to determine whether the woman met death by violence. Miss Snodgrass disappeared ten days ago. Strange Woman in Case. Mount Vernon, N. Y., July 29. Rela tives of Miss Dorcas Snodgrass do not believe that the body found at Cat skill. N. Y., is hers. The belief is grow ing here that Miss Snodgrass is aboard the steamship Minnehaha, which sailed Saturday for Southampton. Following the receipt of a wireless telegram from a Mrs. Cecilia Rosenbaum. aboard the Minnehaha, stating that Miss Snodgrass was aboard, relatives here sent a mes sage to the captain of the liner, asking for definite information. Although Mrs. Rosenbaum is no' known here, it is supposed that Miss Snodgrass may have sailed with her i a trained nurse. WELLMAN TREASURER. Topekan- Honored by Stenographer Convention at Wichita. C. D. Wellman, stenographer in the second division of the district court, returned Sunday from the first an nual convention of the Kansas Short hand Reporters' association, held at Wichita last Friday and Saturday. He reports an attendance of 20 court re porters from various portions of the state, and the organization of a live association. Wellman was elected treasurer of the association. The other officers are: President, W. A. Seiler, Kansas City, Kan.; vice president, George I. Barnes, Wichita; secretary, George D. Warr, Paola; members of executive commit tee, F. W. Fullenwider. Iola. The association proposes to conduct speed contests at each of its annual meetings, the idea being to inspire the members, and to give the litigants of the state better work from the court reporters. A trophy, perhaps in the shape of a cup, will be awarded to the winner. The association also will pro pose a law making any reporter in the state eligible to go into any other court and take testimony without the formality necessary under the pres ent system. The convention was visited by Judge George H. Buckman of Win field, who addressed the meting. It is expected that the Kansas organiza tion will affiliate later with the na tional organization of shorthand men. No place for the next meeting was decided upon, the matter being left to the executive committee. Wellman, however, hopes he may be able to bring the next meeting to Topeka, and is working to that end. He Says the Two Cases Are Exactly Parallel. Reiterates Previous Charges of Dishonesty. Oyster Bay, July 29. The renomlna tion of President Taft by the Republi can convention last month was com pared by Col. Roosevelt today to the election of William Lorimer to the United States senate. The two cases, he declared, stand on the same moral plane, and Mr. Taft's nomination in his opinion can be defended only on grounds which would justify Mr. Lori mer s election. Had the Chicago con vention been organized honestly, ho said, tnere would have been a majority or over iuo against Mr. Taft. Colonel Roosevelt's statement was in reply to the administration's de fense of the proceedings at Chicago. "I saw in the papers that Mr. Root said he would have voted for the Tex as cases. Dr. Butler is said to have declared that he would have voted for the Washington cases," says the state ment. Several are reported to have saia tney would nave voted lor tne California cases. If these cases alone had been reversed, even if the Texa case alone had been reversed, Mr. Tafl could not have been nominated. "If honestly organized, the conven tion would have been against Taft by over 100 majority. Moreover, aside from the stolen 90 delegates which gave the fraudulent majority Mr. Taft's vote was made up three-fourths by the rot ten borough delegates from those south ern states where there is no real Re publican party, and which have never cast a Republican electoral vote and from the handpicked delegates of Messrs. Barnes. Penrose, Guggenheim and company from the north. There are politicians and newspapers who continue to uphold Mr. Lorimer"s Inno cence and to assert that there was nothing improper about his election. "Almost all these politicians and newspa pers and some others In addition mane precisely similar assertions that there was no fraud or thefts of delegates at the Chicago convention. One assertion has precisely as much merit as the other. The nomination of Mr. Taft can be de fended only upon grounds which would also Justify Mr. Lorimer's election to and his retention in hta senate.' NOTHING EVER LIKE IT. Kansas Election Muddle Will Be New to Supreme Court. Washington, July 29. Reports from Topeka that supporters of Mr. Taft in K ansa 3, among them David Mulvane, plan to have the supreme court of the United States review conditions in the nresidential primary in the case, have aroused interest of Republican leaders here. Friends of Colonel Roosevelt, partic ularly Senator Bristow, are watching for developments in the case and keep ing a lookout for the arrival of legal representatives of the Taft champions in Kansas who may be coming to seek info; a on from the justices of the supreme court. The supreme court of Kansas decided that it would not enjoin county clerks from printing on the primary ballot of August 6, under the name of "Re publican party," the names of elect t candidates who had declared they would vote for Roosevelt. Any member or the court has the no-. to issue an order requiring the Kansas supreme court to send the case up for review and to grant a restrain ing order to prevent the names from being printed on the ballot until the federal supreme court had passed on the case. Logically the application would be made to Justice Vandevanter, assigned to the circuit in which Kan sas is located, but he is spending his vacation in New Hampshire. Applica tion might also be made to Justice Day, now at Mackinaw, the nearest of any of the Justices to Kansas. While the justices might feel em powered to issue an order for the re view, members of the court lately have hesitated to take that responsibility, where momentous questions delicately balanced, were involved. Never has a case similar to that which has arisen in Kansas been before the supreme court. A PLEASANT REPORT. Weather Man Promises More of To day's Cool Breezes. A light northerly breeze has brought relief from the oppressive heat that prevailed Saturday and Sunday. And, according to the weather man, there is more weather of the same pleasant brand in sight. Following is the report of Section Director T. B. Jennings for the forty eight hours ending at 7 o'clock this morning: "Light rain rain fell in the Kaw valley and a few local showers in other parts of eastern Kansas and in western Missouri during the 24 hours ending Sunday morning, with a few scattered showers reported in eastern Kansas and western Missouri during the past 24 hours. Clear weather prevailed this morning. Temperatures close to 100 degrees occurred at sev eral stations Saturday and Sunday, but last night was comparatively cool and pleasant in Kansas and western Missouri." The hourly readings: 7 o'clock 70! 11 o'clock 82 8 o'clock 73 1 12 o'clock 83 9 o'clock 77! 1 o'clock 86 10 o'clock 80 2 o'clock 87 Get Hearing Before Supreme Justice Pitney This Week. Stipulation That Ballots Not Be Trlnted Till Thursday. After meeting three defeats In the Kansas courts, the Taft forces last night secured a stipulation which pre vents the printing of the names of the Roosevelt electoral candidates on the) primary ballots until next Thursday, when the case will be presented be fore Justice Mahlon Pitney of th Justice Mahlon Pitney of I "n I ted States Supreme Court, Before Whom the T. li. Elector Case Will Be Heard This Week. United States supreme court In cham bers in Morrlstown, N. J. The filing of the stipulation followed within 24 hours of the decision of the supreme court, which Saturday night set aside the restraining order of Judge C. E. Branine and ordered the Roosevelt candidates placed on the ballots. Now a new question concerning the validity of the primaries ia to be confronted. As soon as the supreme court killed the Branine injunction, the Kansas regulars presented their case to Jus tice Pitney at his home in New Jer sey. While Attorney General Dawson was notifying the 105 county clerka that they could print the Republican primary ballots. Justice Pitney was is suing an order for a hearing of the writ of error Monday morning. Not until Sunday morning did the Roosevelt at torneys learn of the action before Jus tice Pitney. Then came numerous conferences, telephone communications and offers of compromise. Governor Stubbs himself took a hand In the con troversy and was in telegraphic com munication with Justice Pitney. Late last right the stipulation was filed and the New Jersey Judge was wired that the case would be presented Thursday morr ing. That there is a new legal complica tion to be met in the present situation, was admitted today by Fred S. Jackson, leading counsel for the Roosevelt forces. This trouble lies in the interpretation of the statutes concerning the distribu tion of ballots. Under the Kansas law, the primary and general election bal lots must be in the hands of the coun ty clerk within five days preceding the election and must be in the hands ot the election judges 12 hours before the opening of the polls. If the courts ad here to a strict interpretation of thi law it will be a physical impossibility to deliver these ballots to the county clerks in the time prescribed by law, as Wednesday would be the fifth day before the election excepting Sunday. However. Attorney Jackson holds that the law is not so strict in the matter and that the clerk may taite cnarg of the ballots while they are still in the hands of the printer and in course of preparation. Serious Complications. Should the courts decide that the law meant the printed ballots themselves should be in the county clerk's hands five days before the election, the pri maries in Kansas this year may be In validated so far as any Republican nominee is concerned If. for example, the Taft forces should be defeated in the primaries, they would take their troubles to the contest board on the same issues which have been presented before Judge Branine and the Kansas supreme court. Should they be denied redress by the contest board they might then pounce on the legality of the election itself and proceed to an nul the nominations of any or all can didates on the Republican ticket. This would include a fight against Stubbs, against Capper and against every pro gressive on the ticket. On the other hand, the progressives would doubtless take advantage of the situation and contest tne nomination of every regu lar who had opposition in the prlmar les. Attorneys who are watching the case believe this is a more serious com plication than has been presented In the injunction suits and express a fear concerning the validity of the primaries under the stipulation now in existence. IHte Is Not Worrying. "This matter is something which we are not worrying about." said Attorney D R. Hite, of the Taft forces, as he discussed the new election complication today. "We are just standing on the stipulation and will let the other fel lows worry as to whether or not the election will be legal, -even in case Jus tics Pitney denies our supersedeas. Yes. there is a question as to th legality of the election all right, but X guess no one saw it at the time. U der the laws the ballots must be in th hands of the county clerks at least flvy ikj y (Continued on Fag? TwoJ ft

Sapp's letter to White says: Asked to Join Democrats. Galena, July -26. 1912. Hon. William Allen White, Emporia, Kan. My Dear William: I am writing you this open letter because today 1 obtained a circular letter sent out bv you to the good people of Kansas ask ing them to send you money to carry on the Roosevelt campaign. I notice in the circular you use the following language: "Under the old plan of campaigning, the big concerns that get the benefit of tariff and other legislation used to be asked to contribute to the cam paign funds. Then they got the money back with 30 per cent interest in, high tariffs and unjust rates of various' kinds, legalized by those whose cam paign expenses they paid. This was wrong dead wrong. But we were a'l to blame I was just as bad as the next fellow, and the next fellow was Just as bad as I was." How singular it is that at this late date you own up that the big concerns who got the benefit of the tariff fur-, nlshed the Republican party with its campaign funds, and admit that dur ing all these years the Democrats have been right and the Republicans have been wrong. You remember that four years agv at Denver I said to you that you came from good old Der-ocratic stock; that you were wrong and knew you were wrong and ought to join the Demo cratic party. Having now in a publia circular admitted that the Democrats were right, why do you go half way? Why don't you join us like a man and advocate the principles that Democrats have advocated ever since you and I were of age. But to continue and quote from you again: "But we've got to quit. We've got to take charge of this government ourselves you and I and the folks. For the man who pays the campaign expenses owns the government. We propose to carry Kansas for Roosevelt at the primary and at the polls by subscriptions from the folks. We don't need large subscriptions. But we do need lots of them. We don't want the Yig fellows. But we do want the fel low who has a dollar, or five, or pos sibly ten, to feel that this movement Is his movement."

Plerpont Mor gan, who, through his leading satel lite, Mr. Perkins, is financing the Roosevelt campaign, and Perkins means the United States Steel crowd; the Wall street money trust; the to bacco trust: the Standard Oil crowd; and their kin.Jred interests that have dominated this government for a quar ter of a century. White-Stanley Interests the Same. The real truth is, you, representing Mr. Roosevelt, are not fighting for the people any more than Mr. Stanley, representing Mr. Taft, is fighting for the people. You Doth represent enormous wealth and corporate inter ests who have as you say, "got the benefit of tariff and other legislation. and then. got their money back with 3 0 per cent interest in high tariff and ed the church procedure for two cen unjust rates of various kinds legalized turies. by those whose campaign expenses j n S probable the misunderstanding they paid."

"vuci it is a dirty fight for supremacy with in the Republican party and you are too decent a man to stay with that crown any longer. You say in this circular that you want contributions and liken your fol lowers to the ravens who fed Elijah, and say, "You by the way are one of the ravens and I hope you realize how we need your help.' Of course I knew a large part of the Republican party was black, but I never knew one of its leaders to i class all of them as black, and liken them to birds. I know the world is full of suck ers, but you seem to have deserted the fish business and gone into the bird business. The only difference that I can see is, one Roes in the wa ter and the other goes in the air, and you hope that they will light in your crow's nest. Says White Is Backward. You are backward, my dear Wil liam in joining our party. Do not for get that I invited you a second time at Baltimore, and the door of the Democratic party is always open for men who want to do what you say you desire to accomplish in that cir cular letter. In a great many par ticulars, especially in what you say about the big fellows I am in accord with you, but I can not see with the light that God has given me to see the right wherein you will accom plish any good by attempting to make the vast army of Republicans to vote for Mr. Roosevelt, when if you knew the condiitons of the country today you would know full well that they are going to the polls to vote as Re publicans for Woodrow Wilson for the purpose of undoing the very things you say the Republicans have been do ing and for bringing about a govern ment by the people, and for the peo ple, and a little honesty in the admin istration of public affairs. Very truly, WM. F. SAPP. P. S. I shall use this letter and your circular as a request to all peo pie who believe that the Democrats are right to raise a campaign fund for Woodrow Wilson. The Democratic party divorced it self from the predatory Interests of this country at Baltimore, and it needs the help of every honest Democrat and Republican who believe with us to furnish the campaign funds to elect this great and good man. W. F. S. BRYAN AT WAMEGO. Predicts That People Will Directly Nominate Next President. Wamego, Kan., July 29. The man agement of the Chautauqua association today reports that more than 800 sea son tickets are sold. The tent in the city park has been packed each day of the association. The first day, Saturday, when Will iam Jennings Bryan, the famous poli tician and orator, spoke in the after noon, standing room in the tent was above par. One farmer was heard to say that he arose at 4 a. m. and threshed and had driven many miles to hear the speaker. In his speech Bryan predicted that the next president would be elected, "not in a convention where bosses trade votes, but a people's presidential preference primary." After his address he was asked what he thought about the new Roose velt party. Mr. Bryan smiled, drew down the corners of his mouth and said slowly: "Ah, I do not wish to discuss the matter politically, but you can quote me as saying that I will watch the movement of the new party with in terest, and will read the newspapers with a view of keeping myself inform ed as to developments. That is all." CURTIS AND MILLERS. He Is Proud of His Vote for Kansas Business Men. Senator Curtis today replied to the last article of William Allen White on his vote for certain interests as fol lows: "What I did for the millers was to ask that they not be further harassed or molested until the law had been construed. The test case had been tried and no good could result from prosecutions until the court finally set tled the question of bleaching flour. "I made the same request for the ega- men of Kansas. I believe aU men should have an opportunity to be heard and where there is a doubt and no harm could result by delay, men should not be annoyed by unnecessary prosecution when there is a. test case pending which will settle the question in dispute. "I did for these people what I would do for any other citizen of Kansas who apply to me. I once helped Mr. Stubbs and his partner with their oil leases before the president and secretary of the interior. I have helped all who have written me, the rich and the poor alike, and I shall continue to help the people of Kansas whenever I can. If I think a man has a Just case I do all I can for him. "My assistance to the millers was in the Interest of every wheat producer in Kansas and my assistance to the egg buyers was an assistance to every farmer in the state. "I never heard or knew that there was a 'Millers' Trust.' What I did was in the interest of the millers of this state, who I believe are honest business men." DECREEJN FORCE Pope Has Not Repealed "'e Temere," Official Report. Catholics Cannot Wed Protest ants Without Consent. Rome, July 29. The report that the pope has repealed the decree. "Ne temere" Is absolutely unfounded, nor is it likely ever to be revoked, as it embodies nrovisions that have govern- with resoect to the repeal of the de ores arose out of the suspension pro vision relating to mixed marriages in Germany and Hungary. The other provisions of the decree are in full force in those countries, while in the .i.lv. visions of the decree are in force, hutwwnt Catholic and I o Protestant without the sanction oi tne priest is nullified. It is declared that possibly the United States and England may obtain a change in that provision. UP TO U. S. COURT. tContlnnert from Pare One. days before the primaries and in the hands of the election judges 12 hours before the polls open. It really doesn't Icok as though it can be done if the ballots are held up until Thursday, does it?" Jackson Still Cheerful. Congressman Fred S. Jackson, who Is leading the legal fight for the Roose velt forces in the state, was disposed --o see the matter in a brighter light. "There is a question as to the legal ity of the election, all right," admitted Jackson, "but I don't think it is a serious question. We will at once noti fy the county clerks to take charge o' the ballots in the hands of the print- er; and in that way I think we will be within the law and no question can be raised as to the validity of the pri- maries. We have tried to keep within the law and I do not think there will be any trouble. Justice Pitney's dec'sion should be received in Kansas Dy noon Thursday or a short time thereafter and Mr. Dawson will immediately noti- fy the county clerks how to Proceed. Ot course if we are beaten, ballots wm be printed without the names of the Roosevelt electoral candidates. If we win, they will De pnntea on tne Daiiot. The printers have been notified to pre pare their forms and be ready to start wcrk at once." Thought Fight Was Over. By many people, it was believed that the tight over the electoral candidates was concluded Saturday night when the supreme court held against the Taft forces. It was considered by the Roosevelt attorneys that no further ef fort would be made before the pri maries to prevent the printing of the names on the ballots. Then came the shock Sunday morning when Governor Stubbs received a telegram rrom -Justice Pitney in which he told the Kan sas executive that the controversy would be heard by him Monday morn ing, unless other arrangements were made. The governor was also advised that names of the Roosevelt lawyers wau not known and an immediate re ply was requested. This message brought about a hasty .conference. Attorney Hite had previously re quested of Congressman Jackson a stipulation concerning the eastern hearing, but the Fourth district con gressman refused to stipulate Then, when news was received that the hear ing was set for today, that the Taft forces were on the job in Morristown and that failure of '-he Roosevelt at torneys to appear would doubtless mean defeat, there was a call for a conference at the state house Late last night the stipulation was prepared In which Congressman Jackson, Gov ernor Stubbs and Attorney General Dawson agreed to withhold the names of the Roosevelt candidates from the ballots until Thursday, pending the de cision of Judge Pitney. The Stipulation "The defendants in error agree to pre vent any farther progress In printing the following names of electors on the Repub lican primary ballot to be used at the pri mary election of August 6, 1912, to-wit: Samuel A. Davis, Robert M. Armstrang, Dorsey Green, L. A. Millspaugh, J. A. Lister, John Stewart, Robert C. Pos tletlnwaite, and B. S.

Tnls agreement not to prejudice either party or parties, in presenting said ap plication as to any rights of any said parties at the time of actually present ing said application to Honorable Hahlon Pitney, associate justice of the suDreme court of the United States, for allowance. signed at Topeka, July 28. 1912, 7 p. n.. "F. S. JACKSON "C. W. TRICKETT, "Attorneys for Defendants in Error. "D. R. HITE, "Attorney for Plaintiffs in Error." That Justice Pitney will make some provision in his ruling which will con trol the operations of the political ma chinery of the state, is the opinion of the attorneys In the case. An effort L will be made by both sides to safeguard to primary rrom legal complications in sofar as it affects the presidential elec toral candidates, but the fear that a complication will arise over tha distri bution of the ballots, is shared by both sides. No effort will be made to present the merits of a federal question to the New Jersey Jurist, but argument will be confined merely to the question of whether such a question Is raised in the pleadings. If the members of the United States supreme court, before the hearing will be held, should find that such a question exists, he will grant the supersedeas. If not. it will be denied. Under the stipulation, "in event such supersedeas is granted, then said clerks shall immediately proceed to print and distribute said ballots without said names thereon." Arguments for the Taft crowd will be made by D. R. Hite, of Topeka, who will probably be assisted by Fred E. Stanley, of Wichita. Republican na tional committeeman. Congressman Fred S. Jackson and C. W. Trickett will present the argument for the Roosevelt interests. Mr. Jackson, who was called home two weeks ago be cause of the illness of .his mother, will probably arrange his affairs in Kansas to enable him to return to Washington for the remainder of the session at the conclusion of the case in New Jersey. Taft Knew Nothing About It. Washington, Joly 29. President Taft told callers today that the first information he had of the plan to have the Kansas electoral cases heard by the supreme court came from Chair man Hilles of the Republican national committee. The move to carry the cases to the supreme court, the presi dent said, originated in Kansas and the White House had-nothing to do with it. Representative Marlin Olmstead of Pennsylvania, who will have charge of the cases for tha Taft forces, called at the White House and consulted with the president. Mr. Hilles, Mr. Olmstead and Re publican leaders in Kansas, the presi dent was told, had proceeded so far as to make preparations for an appeal to Justice Pitney, who is in New Jersey, or Justice Vandeventer, who Is spend ing the summer in New York. Mr. Olmstead is understood to have told the president that he had asked Justice Pitney for a hearing and that Governor Stubbs, of Kansas, had asked for a hear ing on behalf of the Roosevelt faction.' The president will not interfere. He told friends all along that he does not intend to make the campaign personal but will relv on his managers. The president told visitors that he be lieved the Kansas case was worth fight ing to the finish. WEATHER RECORD.

Oyster Bay., N. Y., July 29. A working program for the new party has been approved by Colonel Roose velt. Senator Dixon, his campaign mana ger, who has recently been in con sultation with leaders of the move ment, came to Oyster Bay to lay their views before the former president. After a long conference it became known that the fundamental question of policy and procedure had been agreed upon, subject to the national committee. The program which will be submit ted to the convention contains these major provisions: Independent tickets in every state except perhaps six. in which it is be lieved the Republican organizations can be taken over bodily. A clean break from both of the old parties, the Republican organizations, which are to be captured, to be used as a portion of the new party. Formation of the new party with the idea that it is to endure perman ently, whatever the outcome of the November election. The states in which there will be independent tickets, he said, are Kan sas, Nebraska, California, both the Da kota and probably one or two others. Former1 Senator Beveridge of In diana, probably will be the progressive candidate for governor of Indiana. "Mr. Beveridge will be elected gov ernor," Senator Dixon predicted. "We will carry Michigan, Illinois and Penn sylvania." In making up the independent tick ets in various states, candidates on either the Democratic or Republican tickets may be placed on the ballot, provided they agree to support the progressive electoral candidates. In several states, including Pennsylvania, it is expected, the entire Republican ticket for state officers will be placed on the progressive ticket. POTTCE JOTTINGS. Edna Larkins Wants Her Man" Arrested. "Honey Edna Larkins, of Highland Park, would have John Thompson arrested for failing to lead her to the alter as he promised. The young woman, wno claims to be less than twenty years old, appeared at the police station Saturday afternoon and told Judge N. B.

Miss Larkins asserted that she and Thompson had been sweethearts for three months and that he had agreed to secure the necessary marriage license last week and have the ncssary knot tld by some clergyman. After making this promise, according to Miss Lar kins. her sweetheart changed his mind and wanted to postpone the approach ing nuptials for a month or more. Then he wanted to go to St. Joseph, Kansas City or some oher place, but Miss Larkins feared that he would not return.

WHEAT North winds cooling and drying the fields where damage was threatened from black rust made the wheat market turn weak today.

Opening prices were unchanged to c lower. September started at 93c to 93c, a loss of 8c to 3-c, declined to 92c. Assertions that rust was becoming quite general in the Red River valley brought about a rally, export sales helped the rise. Closing prices were firm, &c net high er at 94c.

The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Prase and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganisation for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. Tbe news Is received in The State Jour nal building over wires foe this sole pur pose. HOME NEWS WBTXK AWAY. Sahara bers of tho State Journal way from hn during; the summer may nave me paper mauea reguiariy each day to any xddress at the rate of ten cents a week or thirty cents a month (by nnil only). Addrss changed as often as desired. While out of town the State Journal will be to you like a daily letter from home. Advance payment Is requested' on these short time subscriptions, to save bookkeeping exoenses. If the more-work-than-workers1 cry keeps up it will be hoard across the Atlantic and then immigration will break a few more records. Aviation certainly comes high. An aeroplane that cost three years' work and. $30,000 in money was destroyed completely "within two minutes from the beginning of its initial flight. Announcements that there will be less gas in Topeka this winter than there was during the extreme cold weather of last winter is merely another way of saying that there will be no gas at all. Harry Thaw's attorney who saved his life by proving him insane certain ly did a first class Job of it. No oth er lawyers or expert alienists have been able to undo this clever piece of work. Something of consolation may be found by the Topeka fans in this fact. The percentage of their favorites is larger than is the percentage' of any of the tail-end teams in the other leagues. Few people In the world have as many peaches to eat as Americans get In years when the winter has ruined the peach crop. Right now in Topeka peaches are cheapen in bulk than to matoes. If all the candidates for public of fice in Kansas were as angelic as they look in their pictures that they pav for getting in the newspapers, there wouldn't be any need for the recall In this state. That's a cinch, The craziest organisation which meddles much in labor matters in this country is the I. W. W the Industrial Workers of the World. And the most powerful foes of this wild league of revolutionists are the trades unions a good fact for every one to remember. So far, the Sixty-second congress has made a wonderful record as to the number of bills and resolutions intro duced. It Is far in excess of any sim ilar record that has been made by a previous congress. And the crying need of the nation is not a multiplicity of laws, but fewer and better lawa. Colonel Roosevelt now expresses him self to be in hearty sympathy with the plans of his friends in Kansas and a few other states to appropriate, if pos sible, for tbe use of the new party, the livery and the machinery of the regular Republican party. And thU is from a presidential aspirant whose chief campaign slogan is: "Thou aha.it aet steal!" St. Louis children have Just engaged In a. fly-swatting contest on a large scale. It Is estimated that nearly 60, 000,000 flies were killed.' They were measured by the pint cup, and, of course, it was necessary for the chil dren to handle the flies so they could measure them. Now If the fly is such a carrier of terrible diseases. Isn't It rather risky to encourage young chil dren to slaughter and handle them by the millions? On the editorial page of a recent issue of the Topeka Daily Capital was a signed statement by Arthur Capper, Its pulisher, and a supporter of Theo dore Roosevelt as well as a candidate for the regular Republican gubernato rial nomination, over "which appeared the following head in large type: "In heritance Tax Is Wrong." In the next day's issue of the Topeka Dally Capi tal, on the same page, was an edi torial paragraph making light of those who oppose the inheritance tax. Can didate Capper and Editor Capper should get together. Much comment of the jocular sort has been indulged in by the American newspapers over the length of the Camorra trial which was concluded recently after a duration of two years. But In New Tork state they have been trying Harry Thaw as to his sanity off and on for no less than four year And he will probably force additional trials of this sort every so often aa long aa be Uvea, or until he is successful in his endeavors. There is no finality to justice in certain cases in this country as Ions aa a man who thinks he has a cause of complaint has the necessary funds to press his claims. THE FARMERS' CONFERENCE. Without doubt, the biggest thing for Kansas that has been projected in many moons is the- state-wide confer ence of farmers to be held this fall which has been suggested by the At chison, Topeka Santa Fo railway company and which will receive its generous support. This is an era for the joining of forces for the accom plishment of all matters that are worth while. There are any number of national organizations that are concerned in the conservation of the country's resources. In the deepening of Its waterways, in the extension of systems of irrigation that will make the' parched places bloom with a vir gin verdure. No subject, though, is of more im portance to an agricultural commu nity than the conservation and proper development of Its soil. That's to be the keynote of this farmers' confer ence. The eastern section of the United States is dotted with deserted farms, or farms where it is only pos sible to make the barest of a living with a maximum of toil. And these conditions have developed solely be cause the soil on these farms has been ruthlessly ravaged in the past. Not very many of the Kansas farms have approached as yet any such con dition of decay. But the future holds Just this in store for the agricultural lands of Kansas unless they are given the attention that they need. What could be more important, then, than a conference of the Kan sas farmers at which views can be ex changed on a matter of such essential concern to future welfare of the com monwealth? This is a question that provides its own answer. Already many of the prominent agriculturists in the state have de termlned to lend their energies to make this conference the great sue cess that it should be. On tho com mittee which will meet in Hutchin son on August 2 to select a place and the dates for the holding of this con ference, are several gentlemen who have served -on the state ooara oi agriculture. Although, this conference was originally suggested by the Santa Fe. it Is to be In no sense a purely railroad endeavor. It will be man aged and directed by representative agriculturists of the state. It has the hearty support of the state board of agriculture and the state agricultural college. And arrangements are al ready being made to bring to the con ference as speakers the most proml nent of the agricultural talent of ,-hich the whole country is possessed. There is to be nothing small or cheap about a single one of its details and features. Wichita. Hutchinson, Salina and Topeka are candidates for the honor of entertaining this conference, lo- nekans should exert every honorable effort to have this city chosen as tne meeting place. A conservative esti mate is that 1,500 Kansans from all sections of the state will be in attend ance. But tne location vi iu ence Is a mere incident.. It is of no importance at all in comparison witn the fact that the conference is to be held. And no matter where it is held, there should be a determination on the part of every one in the state to make It as large and as successful as such an important movement deserves to be. MOSTLY OWNED BY FOREIGNERS. William H. Seamon, a mining en gineer who has had long experience In Mexico, has prepared an estimate of the ownership of the property and wealth of that country. It is a start ling revelation of the extent to which the Mexican people must work for foreigners and see foreigners take the principal profits of Mexican Industry and trade. Aside from such property as retail stores, livestock, public institutions. houses and personal effects, the Mexi cans own little of their own country. About seventy per cent of the railroad stocks belong to Americans and Eng lishmen. Only two per cent of the rail road bonds are held in Mexico by Mex icans. More than half of the bank stocks are owned by foreigners. The mines belong almost wholly to Ameri can and English Investors, the former greatly predominating. The smelters are chiefly American property. The great bulk of the national government's bonds are held in the TJnied States, Great Britain and France. The timber lands are owned mostly by foreigners and the "otton mills are nearly all French. More than half of the factories are the property of for eigners. The larger part of the street railroads, the power plants and the electric lighting plants belong to Brit ish investors. The wholesale stores are chiefly French and German. The oil fields are almost wholly owned by Americans and the rubber plantations are the property of citizens of the United States. How can Mexicans be expected to fel satisfied with such foreign owner ship of the productive parts of their country? And how are they ever to change existing conditions? VOCATIONAL EDUCATION. The Boston vocation bureau may be taken as a type, writes Frank Andrews Fall in August Nautilus. Under the direction of Meyer Bloomfield it has led the way, and has set the pace for similar bureaus In many American cities. Working closely with the di rector, who Is, of course, the main spring of the whole machine, Is an executive board of eleven expert edu cators, social workers and business men. Supplementing the work of these is an advisory board of about thirty, representing many fields of activity and interest. These people give to the young man or woman about to choose a lifework the benefit of their experience and ad vice. No fee of any kind Is charged for the service of the bureau. Toung people are urged to consider what oc cupation they are best fitted for, are told how to prepare for It, and are encouraged to stick to it after they have once assumed its responsibilities. The bureau does not attempt to decide for anyone what he or she ought to do, nor does it have any bias for or against any specific vocation. It sim ply collects facts about the various oc cupations, their demands, their re wards, their limitations, and presents such facts for the benefit of all who ask for them. The bureau has recently published a series of pamphlets making these facts available to those who are not near enough to Boston to make personal application for them. The series in eludes: "The Grocer." "The Archi tect," "The Baker." "Telephone Oper ating," "Bookbinding," "Stenography and Typewriting," "Millinery," "Dress making," "Straw Hat Making" and "Confectionery Manufacture." The pamphlets describe the requirements in each calling, the conditions of work, the pay and the chances for advance ment. It is scarcely necessary to say that this movement is being welcomed with enthusiasm, not only by young people who do not know the best direction in which to bend their energies, but also by the parents, teachers and friends of such young people. JOURNAL entries Moat people expect considerably more than they get. A pretty man also labors under a large handicap. More men would be dishonest were they not afraid of being caught. Everybody has troubles of his own; so keep yours to yourself. The better the friends, the fiercer the qu;rrel when they start one. JA YHA WKER JOTS Frequent picnic parties, points out the Marysville Advocate-Democrat, help to solve the cost of living for the chiggers. Editor Stitcher of the Osage City Free Press-Public Opinion refers to Hetty Green as "the multi-millionaire woman." And the murderously inclined Her ington Times insists that it's all right to shoot the man who asks: "Is it hot enough for you?" Three litters of young rabbits have started out in life from the under side of our office this season, reports the Greeley County Republican. As we have not seen any old rabbits around this may be a case of spontaneous generation. An Atchison woman has lately been severely censured by her minister be cause she entertains so often with card parties, relates the Atchison Globe.. She has managed to partly square herself with her pastor, by giv ing the following excuse: "Ive found out," she said, "that. the only way to amuse and entertain stupid people is to let them play cards." Now wouldn't her friends be Just furious If they knew this? A reasonable fish story, by Editor Clemons of the Grainfield Cap Sheaf: Miss Winnie Jones and the editor's wife went fishing last Thursday after noon. They reported a big catch but all we saw was three fish about two inches long. They said the fish took the bait but would not tell us why they didn't get the fish. The big catch story was true, but It was "chig gers." We might tell more but don't dare. Zeke Shaw killed the first cellar snake of the year the other day, re lates the Toronto Republican. Zeke was walking along the street and not a wave of trouble rolled across his peaceful breast when Mrs. O. C. Mc- Hugh asked him ir he would kill a snake In her cellar. He would. He was a snake killer from away back. If he had been in the Garden of Eden armed with a good hoe the originel snake would have been promptly dis patched, thereby saving this world from sin and misery. So Zeke was supplied with a hoe and a lantern and went down cellar ana tnere was tie snake over in a dark corner. Zeke hung the lantern for a good light. spit on his hands and waded in to his new Job. Alter vigorous cnopping ne said It was dead and called the spec tators to notice his artistic job. One look was enough. The snake was a cnilrl bunch of metal linoleum strip that had been thrown in the corner of the cellar. GLOBE SIGHTS BY THU ATCHISOK OLOB'B. Don't you become awfully tirey of Key notes? Politics and prejudice are peas from the same pod. A good teacher is one who doesn't tae her headaches out on the pupils. Nothing looks more dejected than the decorations after the celebration is over. At this season of the year the sumn:er resort hotel proprietor "loses" his ther mometer. Any Country can get a new king -r President, but a satisfactory shortstop is ard to find. Uncle Sam is pictured as a wise old guy, but as a matter of fact, a lot of veiy cheap politicians bunco him. A wise man is a person who won't talk on any subject about which) he is preju diced one way or the other. A meek man makes the remark that tna life he has led leads him to believe chick ens are mostly back and necks. This must seem an unequal world to a farm hand who only gets a quarter's worth of rest out of a million dollar rain. Observation has led us to believe that a woman doesn't always get her reputation for being tender-hearted from her hus band. Tour enthusiasm won't accomplish much if devoted largely to noise and throwing your hat In the air. And it may damage your hat. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. Being sunburned on the back is a sure sign somebody is coming along to slap you there. When told by most people an Improb able tale is Just as likely to be true as a probable one. A woman doesn't want to be half con vinced by reason; she wants to be fully convince by devotion. If a man going to explain why he can't pay a debt is on a blocked street car it seems to him to be traveling a mile a minute. A woman who knows a secret can set even with another she hates bv not tell ing it to her, but that makes "her get worse even with herseL' RY THE WAY ST BAR VIST PABSOMaV is the first time, since the war, that Cy Leland ever drew a gun. Cy Leland is our idea of a war, (not a political) nerve 'specialist. "En-durin' or thuh wah." as Cv's nearest Missouri neighbors would put It, Cy, who was but a mere chee-IId of 23 at that time. crossed the river with John Wilker son and three other gun fighters, and attempted to see a Missouri girl. Dur ing the festivities, he shot some wom an presumably an old maid aunt of tne gin in question' in the on leg. To the best of our knowledge, this is tne first time Cy has resorted to any thing but acrotr.tic politics since the late unpleasantness. Cy, perhaps Senator Cyrus would sound better, is a man- of parts. No man in Kansas has a decenter, cleaner PERSONAL friend than the man who is a friend to and of Cy Leland. He is so danged square that an ordinary county surveyor could not find a slant in him, but in politics that Is some thing else again vet as Mawruss Perl- mutter would put It. Cy was the bit terest enemy Stubbs encountered dur ing his first campaign. Cy then de cided that Stubbs was due a second term a bet that less observant poli ticians overlooked for a while and the next record of good old Uncle Cy is that of a staunch Stubbs-hooraw supporter of the worst type. Bets are posted that Uncle Cy win go aown with Stubbs. We are offering two to one that he will Join Curtis within 90 days after Stubbs is defeated. During the nast month in Kansas 1,306 boys and 1,291 girls have l-een projected, as it were, into this trouble some world. We are sorry for the 1,291.

SAYS UNCLE GAV Happiness, after all, knows no physical measurement; It is not dependent upon luxury. The end of all existence. It is the cheapest as well as the most costly thing in the world. One man on my street would be happy if he could have a new red touring car; there's a much happier chap who lives around the corner who would be overjoyed if he could have a new pair of crutches. A pair of crutches that are neither menaea nor puicueu i his idea of luxury. And when he gets them he'll be better satisfied than the man who gets the touring car. All values are relative; if you go about It right you can extract more pleasures from your necessities than out of your luxuries. And the people who are in need of crutches, having become brave through the mastery of terrible problems, are on the whole happier than those whom we call more fortunate. Their ap- nrofiatinn la more keen. They have learn ed the bitter sweet secret of sucking the flavor from the strong, plain meats oi existence. They know that life is good as long as the appetite for it is sharp and .v,i, onnotlttes are constantly whetted by need. (Copyright, 1912, bythe McClure Newspaper ojmutniw POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Women laugh with a wise man and at a fool. Nothing is too absurd for some people to undertake. A bachelor's Ideal woman Is usually one he couldn't get. A little widow is even more dangerous than a little learning. There are more lemons than plums cn the political plum tree. Many a man is friendless because he's too popular with himself. We would be unhappy if we knew every thing that is going on or coming off. Do the best you can today. You can't always be putting it off until tomorrow Those who Insist upon having the big gest half do not seem to realize that there is no such thing. It takes a born leader to fool the peo ple who are being led into believing they are going It on their own hook. VAFFYDILS BY TJ. KOALL. Is the man who Is learning to play the cornet his own tutor?
