URGES CURRENCY REFORM But Doesn't Want It to Divert Tariff Attention. President Wilson Bead His Message in Person. Washington. April 8.-President Wil son stood on the speaker's rostrom in the hall of the house today and per sonally read his first message to con gress, the first president since John Adams to exercise that privilege. The renewal of a custom a century abandoned and now "uund such wide differences of opinion among members of congress itself, attracted to the capitol an assemblage cean less in numbers, but certainly no less distinguished than the company that attended the president's inauguration Galleries ere packed with national figures. Mrs. Wilson and her three daughter two women of the cabinet circle, prominent among them. The diplomatic gallery, probably contained a representative of every nation with an envoy in the foreign corps here. Distinguished men who have received the thanks of congress and were therefore entitled to be on the floor of the house, availed themselves of the right conspicuous among them Admiral Dewey. Moving Pietnres of Event. A moving picture lachine was in stalled to preserve a record of the his toric event for the government's archives. Speaker Clark had among his guests in the speaker's gallery Mrs. Victor Mur dock. Mrs. A. M. Palme.- and Mrs. Pitser, Bister of Mrs. Clark and her daughter. President Wilson slipped away from the White House quietly after the cab inet meeting, accompanied only by his secretary and one secret service man and upon arriving at the eapitol, was escorted to the rostrum in the house where Speaker Clark sat at one side and Vice President Marshall at the other. The president speaking with his usual clarity of tone, and notable diction, read his message while the company, actually packed into the chamber, gave the closest attention. After the house had been called to order. Speaker Clark announced that the president would be received by a committee of three and would enter the house chamber by tht rear door at the left of the speaker's table. He appointed Representatives Underwood, Palmer and Mann. "The chair would admonish the mem bers," said Speaker Clark, "that un less otherwise indicated by the presi dent, to keep their seats during the delivery of his message and until he has departed." The hour for the joint session was set for 12:30 o'clock, but before the senate could join the house, however, it had to turn back the clock 20 min utes to permit a large number of bills to be presented, and it was 12:50 when the vice president and the senators got seated in the house chamber. President Wilson reached the speak er's office at 12:55 o'clock. The presi dent was cheered as he mounted the rostrum in the house chamber and shook hands with Speaker Clark. As he began to speak intense silence set tled in the great room and he used only an ordinary tone as he explained his coming in person to deliver his message. As the president read on every eye was riveted toward the speaker's "stand with its new occupant. Never in the life of any man present had a presi dent occupied that historic place in such a capacity. President Wilson began his message as follows: "I am very glad indeed to have this opportunity to address the two houses directly and to verify for myself the impression that the president of the United States and a person, not a mere department of the government hailing congress from some isolated island of Jealous power, sending mes sages, not speaking naturally and with his own voice, that he is a "human be ing trying to co-operate with other human beings, in a common service. After this pleasant experience, I shall feel quite normal in all our dealings with one another." Document Was Brief. It was an unusually brief docu ment, dealing exclusively with the need for a thorough, moderate and well-considered revision of the tariff The president drew attention to the necessity for an early reform in the banking and currency laws but re frained, he said, from urging for the present, any other legislation that might divert the energies of congress "from its clearly defined duty" to ward the tariff question The message referred" to no parti cular schedule, mentioned no rates and included no statistics. It was an enunciation of the president's princi ples on tariff revision. His specific views and ideas as to rates and duties It has been generally accepted, will h contained in the tariff bill itself which he is now considering in detail The president's decision to put the weight of the administration s influence he hind the bill with its various sched ules as drawn by the house wavs and (Continued on Page Two.) 1 m 1 1 t-i-i nun i-n i n n 'H THE DAY IX CONGRESS.

Incomplete returns from half of the state today show a majority of 41,580 votes cast against woman suffrage and the most enthus iastic supporters of the movement ad mit defeat. The vote so far report is largely from the cities and it is ex pected the rural districts will cut down the majority from 10 to 20 thou sand. All of the other constitutional amendments, including the initiative, referendum and recall carried by good majorities. Republicans claim the state ticket by 30,000 to 50,000 plurality. The Pro gressives who led the ticket last fall will finish third at best. CUT LIVING COST Mr. Ultimate Consumer Finds Relief in Tariff. Free List Includes Leeches, Skeletons and Joss Sticks. Washington, April 8. Mr. Ultimate Consumer when he looks eagerly through the Democratic tariff bill in the hope of finding some promise of a reduction in the cost of living, will find many curious articles listed that will make his head swim. The free list includes these articles: Apatite, asafetida, balm of gilead, blood, bones, cudbear, divi-divi, drag ons blood, fossils, joss sticks, old junk, lava, leeches, manna, pulu, skeletons and spunk. The Underwood bill, like any other tariff bill, contains page after page of printed names that are unintelligible and unpronounceable so far as the average person is concerned. When the reading clerks of the h&use come to them they merely splutter. The men who are debating the tariff bill carefully avoid discussing these arti cles for obvious reasons. Take the chemical schedule, for in stance. Here are some of the chemi cals on the dutiable list: Phenolphthalein. binitrotoluol, bini trobenzol. benzaldehyde, nitrotoluol naphtylaminsulfeacids. naphtolsul foacids. amidonaphtolsulfoacids and binitrochlorbenzol. The most alarming chemical of all, however, if there is anything in a name, is diamidostilbendisulfoacid. Is it any wonder that a reading clerk has gone to bed for a week after reading twenty printed pages of names like that?

NOT TO LEAVE BED TODAY Papal Secretary and Relatives Only Callers Allowed. Condition Was Due to an At tack of Influenza. Rome, April 8. Pope Pius suffered a severe relapse in the course of last night. He was very feverish, his tem perature rising to 100 degrees. Professor Kttore Marchiafava was with him for an hour. After a thor ough investigation the physician in sisted that the pontiff should take complete rest and forbade him even to receive the usual daily report on Vatican affairs. Although the pope's temperature had diminished somewhat during the forenoon, his holiness remained in bed, the doctors in attendance insist ing that he must not rise today. The only persons beside the physi cians who were permitted to see the pope were Cardinal Merry del Val, the papal secretary of state, and the sis ters and niece of the pontiff. Fever Now Is Decreasing. The condition of the pope improved considerably toward evening. At 5:30 his physician announced the fever was decreasing. Receptions Too Much for Him. In connection with the relapse suf fered by the pope it is reported that in consequence of two lengthy pilgrim receptions yesterday he was overcome by extreme fatigue. The receptions obliged the pontiff to remain for sev eral hours without moving. In the course of the evening he suffered a slight fainting fit and Dr. Andrea Am icci, who was in attendance, had him put to bed and injected a strengthen ing remedy. After a few minutes the pope recov ered consciousness and spoke to those around him. By the doctor's instruc tions the pope will remain in bed, sus pending all his habitual occupations until further orders. Official Statement. An official statement on the pope's condition published in the Observa tore Romano this evening says: "Since yesterday evening the Holy Father has been indisposed with a re-, lapse of ..influenza. His condition is causing no anxiety but he' requires much rest." HIDES IN HOTEL Secretary of Treasury Shifts U. S. Financial Center. Besieged in Office by Insistent Job Hunters. Washington, April 8. Besieged in his club and his office by job hunters and waylaid by them at every turn. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo has almost reached the conclusion that life is not worth the living. Lost for hours yesterday from the ken of his cabinet associates and his con fidential clerks, it transpired today that he had fled from the turmoil and had discovered a haven of rest in a small hotel. The hotel room for sev eral hours was the financial center of the United States while the secretary and his clerk worked through the stack of correspondence and public business that had piled up. "Where's the hotel?" echoed the clerk, laughingly. "Do you want me to lose my job?" It also developed that Mr. McAdoo and his personal attendant made their escape from the treasury building by a back door and slipped stealthily into a waiting taxicab and were whirled off before the small army of off iceseekers could get into action. The hotel, wherever it is, may continue to be the country's financial center until the pressure for jobs is relieved. WHISKY IS SAVED. Heroes Leave ievees to Captnre Con tents of Flooded Warehouse. Washington, April 8. Hundreds of barrels of whisky, swept from a de molished bonded warehouse in Ken tucky in the flood, were saved by heroes who saved them to the last drop, according to a report received today by Commissioner Cabell from one of the internal revenue agents. The warehouse, containing 6,000 bar rels, was practically destroyed. Men en left the levees, said the govern ment officer, to save the whisky. The location of the warehouse was not disclosed because it might create un necessary alarm among the owners of the whisky, all of which is safe. DUBUQUE HOTEL FIRE. G .ests Into Streets in Night Clothing Ixss $400,000. Dubuque, la., April 8. The Julian hotel and a number of other buildings adjoining were destroyed by fire early today. All of the 200 guests and em ployees escaped from the hotel but most of them lost everything. Many of the guests ran into the street in their night clothing. A few were slightly injured by jumping from low er windows and lower parts of fire escapes. The total loss will be something more than $400,000.v The loss on the building and furnishings is J 2 50.000. Other losses were: Powers building, $50,000; Union Electric company, $50,000. The balance of the loss is on smaller buildings. TO TESTTHE LAW Eastern Film House Files Suit in U. S. Court. Asks for Injunction Against State Censorship. LAW IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL Allege Would Cost "Movies" $360,000 in Four Months. Is a Tax Gathering Measure Pure and Simple. To prevent the wholesale arrest of 500 moving picture show operators in Kansas, suit was filed today in the United States district court by the Uni versal Film company of Delaware, in which it seeks to enjoin state officials from the enforcement of the new pic ture film censorship law pending a de cision from the United States supreme court concerning the constitutionality of the Kansas law. Governor George n. Hodges, Attorney General John S. Dawson, State Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction W. D. Ross and Secre tary of State Charles Sessions are made defendants in the action which seeks an interlocutory and permanent in junction against the enforcement of the picture film law. The bill in the federal court recites that unless an injunction is speedily granted that the attorney general, who recently caused the arrest of Lew (Continued on Page Six.) HERE ISJU10RAL Man, Bed, Cigarette Fire, Bath Tub, Death. Ran Against Gas Jet House on Fire And Morall Chicago, April 8. After being se verely burned when his clothing caught fire, presumably from a cigar ette which he had been smoking in bed, Edward A. Schrieber jumped into a bath tub of water In an attempt to extinguish the flames and was drowned. In his rush to the bath room he accidentally ran against a gas jet and opened it, the building caught fire and when the firemen ar rived he was found dead In the tub. MUST BE READY German Chancellor Warns Countrymen of War. But He Does Not Look for European Conflagration. Berlin, April 8. "If outside forces should threaten us Germany must stand ready with her last man," de clared Dr. Von Bethmann Hollweg. the imperial chancellor, in parliament Mon day, while submitting- the government's Dins tor increasing the army and for providing new forms of taxation. His speech was a striking one, al though he qualified his warning with the admission that "A European con flagration in all probability will not oc cur." "The good intentions of the French and Russian governments are beyond question," declared the chancellor, "but Germany must reckon with the 'great force of modern public opinion, which, in the form of warlike patriotism and Russian Pan-Slavism, threatens the peace of the world against the wishes of the great masses of both peoples." It was noteworthy that In the chan cellor's speech Great Britain was re ferred to only as a pacific factor. He continued: "The conditions of Europe have been radically changed by the Balkan war, which has substituted for the passive European Turkey, other states of fev erish political activity. In all this there are factors of progress, indeed, but should a great European conflagration between Germanism and Pan-Slavism come, this change would alter the bal ance in Germany's disfavor. This does not alter the fact that I consider this conflict probably will be avoided." Germany, the chancellor said, has been working to mitigate the Austro Russian tension, but should war break out the German empire would unhesi tatingly fight beside her ally." The chancellor then reiterated Prince Bismarck's saying, "If the French wait for us to attack them, they will wait forever," and concluded that there was every reason to believe the present French government wished to live in peace with Germany, and that French masses wished it, too. GERMAO0NTW0RRY Army Officers Say French Did Not Ijearn About Air Cruiser. Berlin, April 8. German army offi cers, who were aboard the Zeppelin air cruiser, "Z. IV," when she was cap tured by French officers after cross ing the French frontier and landing at Luneville, are of the opinion that the Frenchmen did not discover any of the secret workings of the air craft. The German officers in their report say that although General Rirschauer, inspector of the French aviation de partment, and other experts boarded the dirigible, they think the Frenchmen did not observe enough to enable them to reproduce the intricate mechanism of the airship. Some members of the Zeppelin crew say they heard shots fired at the diri gible, but this is not confirmed by other persons on board. FIRST REAL JOLT Senator Harry McMillan WaDis Heavily on Hodges' Plan. Is Opposed to Commission Form of State Legislature. SAYS IT IS MODERN OLIGARCHY Points to Failure of New Re form in Other States. Declares Representative Gov ernment Is Good Enough. Senator Harry McMillan, of Ottawa county, who may oppose Governor George H. Hodges for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in 1914, is op posed to the Hodges plan for a com mission form of state legislature and in a letter to the Kansas executive brands the new reform as a change from representative government to an oligarchy. To McMillan's mind, the Hodges plan is the broadest possible jump from the simon 'pure Democratic principle of delivering the government into the hands of the people and it tends only to give power to a limited number of men. The McMillan letter was sent to Gov ernor Hodges today in response to a request from the legislative members for opinions concerning the new re form. For several days it has been quietly but generally rumored that if the sentiment of the Kansas legislature indicated a strong favoritism for the commission form of state government, that Governor Hodges might call a special session before the 1914 cam paign. Senator McMillan is one of the first of the legislative members to go on record. He is also a Democrat and a very possible gubernatorial aspirant. So with that situation, the wise politic ians are not doping McMillan to spread any bouquets in the Hodges pathway and the new Democratic governor may find it necessary to fight for all of the converts he secures for his proposed reform. In his letter to Governor Hodges. Senator McMillan says in part: "No other form or system of govern ment has been subjected to greater trials or dangers and emerged from them more triumphantly than ours, which this new idea of government would abolish. I am not ashamed to hold with the great apostle of Democ racy, Jefferson, that 'prudence indeed will dictate,- that governments long established ehould not oe changed for light and trivial causes." New Form of Oligarchy. "This suggested change is, in my judgment, an attempt to change our form of government from that of a broadly representative form of government to that of some form of an oligarchy. Now while I admit that the meaning of the word oligarchy has changed since Plato's day, nevertheless this suggested new form oZ government means one in which the supreme power is placed in the hands, as Webster de fines the word, 'of a few people." The slogan of Democracy these past years has been to bring back the government to the people. This new move does not impress me with being in harmony with that idea. One writer and patriot has said, 'Our safety depends upon the broad representation of the people in their legislative bodies.' He adds that experience has demonstrated that it is far more difficult for corrupt view to lay hold of a large body than of a small body of legislators. "I wish to go on record with the opinion that if we adopt this new form of commission government that it will develop, that locally and otherwise the people will find that they are gradually losing certain rights and privileges of government they have heretofore en joyed and held dear. "The tendency and effect of this will be to gradually center in this new commission government the control of rights heretofore enjoyed ty the local communities. Furthermore the history of small select governing bodies in the past has not been satisfactory. The Council of Ten in Venice and others more modern could be cited as ex amples In point. Shows Distrust of the People. "I will admit there appears to be a growing tendency in the minds oi some for this sort of government. It arises from the old fashioned and still existent distrust that the great mass of people are not capable of self gov ernment. "One enthusiast even goes so far as to advocate a commission of five mem bers to legislate and govern the state. I Dresume of course he would expect to be one of them. But why five? If a limited number are desirable, why not four, three, two or one? Some eminent writers have held that an ab solute monarchy is the ideal form of government, providing always that a monarch could always be found pos sessing the Divine attributes of wis dom and goodness. "In modern times the most promi nent example of this idea was the Stewart dynasty ofScotland and Eng land. Charles I carried the idea so far that he lost his crown and his head and James II, more fortunate, his crown only. "By long experience the need for two chambers of government is deem ed an axiom of political science, that if either assembly shows a tendency to become hasty, tyrannical and corrupt, it will be checked by the coexistence of another house of equal authority. Plan Failed in Other States. "The only states that ever tried to do with a single house were Pennsyl vania, Georgia-and Vermont all of which gave it up the first after four years' experience,' the second after twelve years and the last after fifty years. So, this so-called new idea is not new at all. "The claim for this new sort of legis lative body, 'that the members of which shall not represent special localities,' is ir my mind one of the gravest objections. As every locality contributes by taxation to the expenses of the government, every locality has undoubted right to be repre sented In the expenditures of the same. Taxation without representation has never been a favorite American doctrine. Present System Good Enough. "While our present system of state gov ernment may have its faults, it will be conceded that no government ever de signed by man has been perfect; but after carefully weighing its merits and de merits is in my judgment far superior lo any so far proposed to take its place. There is still a better reason in favor of our present representative bodies. If this government is to endure in its pres ent form with Its ever Increasing and complicated problems demanding so lution, it can only be done by a system which will educate an ever Increasing number of citizens capable of solving these problems of government. "In my judgment no system can be bet ter than that including broadly repre sentative legislative bodies, which affords a school of the highest value along these lines, in educating and fitting men to carry on the great work of government." LIFE FOR CHILD Long Island Parent Gave Quart of Blood for Infant. Then Child Died and Father Declined Rapidly. New York, April 8. Hagar Shive died at Whitestone, Long Island, yester day, a victim of parental devotion. Al though himself far from being in ro bust health, Shive early in the winter submitted to an operation for the transfusion of his blood into the veins of his infant son, who was suffering from tuberculosis of the bones. A friend, knowing Shive's delicate state of health, offered to submit to the operation for him. Shive, however, de clared that he willingly would sacrifice his life for his first-born and a quart of blood was given to the babe. The child died shortly afterward and Shive went into' rapid decline and died. He was 24 years old. RAIN WAS GENERAL. Telephone and Telegraph Companies Chief Sufferers.

A large force of men is out attending to the -pair work today and it is expected that the service will be normal within twenty-four hours. The Bell Telephone company has suf fered through the heavy electrical and hail storms in the last twenty days to a large extent. The wind has been a source of trouble. A half mile of poles were blown down in one storm east of the Reform school and eight poles at another time. The barometer cut all the capers it would have gone through had a tornado been near at hand while the storm was .n progress Monday night. The record on the sheet in the government station was like the contour of the Grand Canon. Ine forecast calls for rain tonight and Wednesday. The maximum temperature Monday was 67 degrees; at 7 o'clock this morning the reading was 43 degrees a de cided drop. The big Cottonwood tree just west of the St. Francis hospital was struck by lightning during the storm and badly shattered. Good Day for Ducks. This is good weather for ducks!

The rain is expected to include the western portion of the state, which was not touched by the storm Monday night. This morning snow fell in Colo rado and Nebraska. There is little sunshine today in the United States.

The Inhabitants of the town wen awakened by a loud explosion. A large force of police was dispatched to the castle and one searching the surrounding grounds found chemicals and blasting powder. Most of the powder had failed to explode and the damage done was not much. Many windows in adjacent cottages were broken. Two old siege guns weighing a ton each were thrown out of the embras sures of the castle by the explosion. "Votes for women and the consequences," was painted on one of the old cannon and "In honor of Mrs. Pankhurst" on another. A quantity of suffragette literature was scattered about. The police found no clew to the perpetrators. One account of the explosion says the militant suffragettes loaded and fired one of the big guns. Ruin Mall Boxes in London. London, April 8.

New York, April 8. In a symposium on euthanasia in the Medical Review of Reviews no less an authority than Mr. Roswell Park, of Buffalo, one of the surgeons who attended the bed side of the dying President McKlnley, favors the affirmative. He not only speaks of Euthanasia as "applied al truism" but says that he has practiced it, and advocated a standing Jury of physicians and lawyers to determine when the pleadings for death of a patient in the terminal stages of life and suffering the "tortures of the damned" should be acceded to. "Euthanasia is the humane in the highest degree," writes Dr. Park, "but It is hedged about by one moral diffi culty, namely, the question of wise and Judicious discretion as to its applica tion. "My own preference would be for a committee of two practitioners of med icine and one of law appointed in some authoritative way to decide when it should be applied." NATIONAL BANK GALL.

FARMER AND BUSINESS MAN Harmonious Relations Between Two Are Sought. H. J. Waters on "Educational Aids to Organization." Chicago. April 8. The first national conference on marketing and farm credits which means to seek a remedy for the evils existing in the marketing of farm products and for a more equitable distribution of them, opened Here today for a three days meeting. The organization was instituted as a result of a meeting of farmers and farmers representatives In Texas in 1911, held to discuss the distribution of the yield of the farms, but this is the first time representatives with the authority to form concrete plans for securing the results desired have been brought together. Agricultural colleges and schools. state universities, leaders of agricul tural organizations, farm Journals and the agricultural department of the government are represented. One of the main purposes is to seek the crea tion of a bureau of markets of the United States government with an nual appropriations sufficient for the proposed work and carrying with it a member or the presidents cabinet. Another purpose is the organization of tne rruit growers of the middle west into a selling agency and the forma tion of agricultural centers of cham pion the marketing plan and conduct a plan of education among farmers ana tne consumers. The call for the conference was is sued by Frank P. Holland. Dallas. Texas: Harry A. Wheeler, president Associated Chambers of Commerce of the United States, called the conven tion to order. President Charles Van Hise of the University of Wisconsin, who followed, said: Knlisting for Life.

"For farm products the. waste in distribution is admitted to' be large. It is to be reckoned for the country as a whole each year in the hundreds of millions, due partly to the perishable nature of many of the farm products.

Lawrence, Kan., April 8. Caught be tween the upper and nether millstones of opposing lawyers, Frof. George N. Watson, head of the drug laboratory at the University, was ground through the wheels of the justice court this morning and as a result spent an hour in the county jail, committed for con tempt. Professor Watson later was re leased on bail, under an application for a writ of habeas corpus, brought bv his attorney. R. E. Melv!

Mr. Bishop and Mr. Brownell wanted to know the result of that analysis. They asked Professor Watson. Mr. Melvin didn't wa t Mr. Watson to answer the question and he didn't.

Zion City, 111., April 8. Attempts by adherents of the Zionist church, founded by John Alexander Dowie, to drive users of tobacco out of this city, has caused renewed disorder here. Clashes between deputy marshals and bands of Zion crusaders have been of almost daily occurrence for months since the opening of an "outside" electrical factory, the employees of which disregard the Zionist ban on to bacco. Five "crusaders," three of them women, were arrested and lock ed up this afternoon after twenty deputies had scattered nearly a thou sand singing and praying Zionists bent on holding a meeting under the walls of the factory. ROOT WANTS TOLLS. Senator Reintroduces Bill Repealing Panama American Ship Rights. Washington, April 8. The Panama canal toll has reappeared in congress. Senator Root has re-introduced his bill of last session for repeal of that pro vision of the new Panama canal law which would permit American coast wise ships to enjoy freedom from .tolls. The measure has been referred to the committee now headed by Senator O'Gorman, of New York who led the fight in the last congress against the Root proposal. Bad I "ire In Arizona.

Sterling, Washington, April 8. When the sen ate convened Monday in special ses sion, many new faces were seen. Many other faces, which have been familiar in Washington for a decade past, are missing. The Democratic landslide of last No vember swept their owners out of pub lic life. Doubtless the most picturesque of the new senators is J. Hamilton Lewis, of Chicago, who succeeds Senator Cul- lom. "J. Ham," as he is known by friends all over the United States, is noted for his pink whiskers, his ability as an after-dinner speaker and as the wearer of the latest thing in clothes. He is the nearest approach to a dude that will be seen In congress at the spe cial session. Lewis is a lawyer. Another interesting figure in the new WILSON'S FIRST VIEWS (Continued from Page One means committee, caused him to omit specific reference to tariff rates un til the measure was finally agreed upon in the opening days of the pres ent session. The message urged that special privilege and exemptions from com petition be cut out ot tne nation s tar iff system and that the revision be I i i 1, i r n.n a I maae to square viiii me i i i.. i .-i do they are." At the outset, the presi dent called attention to the party's pledge for tariff reduction. Message in Full. To the Senate and House of Repre sentatives: I have called the congress together in extraordinary session because a duty was laid upon the party now in power at the recent elections which it ought to perform promptly, in order that the burden carried by the people under existing law may be lightened as soon as possible and in order, also, that the business interests of the country may not be kept too long in suspense as to what the fiscal changes are to be to which they will be re quired to adjust themselves. It is clear that the whole country expected the tariff duties be altered. They must be changed to meet the radical alteration in the conditions of our economic life which the country has witnessed within the last generation. While the whole face and method of our industrial and commercial life were being changed beyond recogni tion the tariff schedules have remain ed what they were before the change began, or have moved in the direction they were given when no large cir cumstance of our industrial develop ment was what It is today. Our task is to square them with the actual facts. The sooner that is done the sooner we shall escape from suffer ing from the facts and the sooner our men of business will be free to thrive by the law of nature (the nature of free business) instead of by the law of legislation and artificial arrange ment. Tariff Legislation Has Wandered. We have seen tariff legislation wan der very far afield in our day very far indeed from the field in which our prosperity might have had a normal growth and stimulation. No one who looks the facts squarely in the face or knows anything that lies beneath the surface of action can fail to perceive the principles upon which recent tar iff legislation has been based. We long ago passed beyond the modest notion of "protecting" the industries of the country and moved boldly forward to the idea that they were entitled to the direct patronage of the government. For a long time a time so long that the men now active in public policy hardly remember the conditions that' preceded it we have sought in our tariff schedules to give each group of manufacturers or producers what they themselves thought that they needed in order to maintain a practically ex clusive market as against the rest of the world. Consciously or uncon sciously, we have built tip a set of privileges and exemptions from com petition behind which it was easy by any. even the crudest, forms of combi nation to organize monopoly; until at last nothing is normal, nothing is obliged to stand the tests of .efficiency and economy, in our world of big bus iness, but everything thrives by con certed arrangement. Only new prin ciples of action will save us from a final hard crystallization of monopoly and a complete loss of the influences that quicken enterprise and keep in dependent energy alive. Must Abolish Privilege. It is plain what those principles Left to right: Thomas J. SENATE AT SPECIAL SESSION; HAM LEWIS OF CHICAGO A PICTURESQUE FIGURE J. Hamilton Lewis. Dr. Harry Lane congress is Harry Lane of Oregon, who succeeds Senator Jonathan Bourne. Lane is a physician, as is also Senator Gallinger, of New Hampshire. They are the only physicians in the senate. Senator Lane is a son of General Joe Lane, who was also a senator from Oregon and governor of the state. Gen eral Lane ran for vice president on the ticket with Breckenridge. The new Oregon senator was elected by popular vote and his election was ratified by the state legislature with only three dissenting votes. Senator Lane has twice been mayor of Port land and became famous through his fine administration of the state insane asylum at Salem. He is 57 and a Dem ocrat. Thomas J. Sterling is the new senator from South Dakota. He succeeds Rob must be. We must abolish everything that bears even the semblance of priv ilege or of any kind of artificial ad vantage, and put our business men and producers under the stimulation of a constant necessity to be efficient. economical and enterprising, masters of competitive supremacy, better workers and merchants than any in the world. Aside from the duties laid upon articles which we do not, and probably can not, produce, therefore, and the duties laid upon luxuries and merely for the sake of the revenues they yield, the object of the tariff duties henceforth laid must be effect ive competition, the whetting of American wits by contest with the wits of the rest of the world. Must Build Up Foreign Trade. It would be unwise to move toward this end headlong, with reckless haste, or with strokes that cut at the very roots of what has grown up amongst us by long process and at our own in vitation. It' does not alter a thing to upset it and break it and deprive it of a chance to change. It destroys it. We must make changes in our fiscal laws, in our fiscal system, whose ob ject is development, a more free and wholesome development, not revolu tion or upset or confusion. We must build up trade, especially foreign trade. We need the outlet and the enlarged field of energy more than we ever did before. We must build up industry as well, and must adopt freedom' in the the place of ar tificial stimulation only so far as it N will build, not pull down. In dealing with the tariff the method by which this mav be done will be a mat ter of judgment, exercised item by item. To some not accustomed to the excitements and responsibilities of greater freedom our methods may In some respects and at some points seem heroic, but remedies may be heroic and yet be remedies. It is our busi ness to make sure that they are gen uine remedies. Our object is clear. If our motive is above just challenge and only an occasional error of judgment is chargeable against us, we shall be fortunate. Tariff Is a Good Beginning. We are called upon to render the country a great service in more mat ters than one. Our responsibility should be met and our methods should be thorough, as thorough as moder ate and well considered, based upon the facts as they are, and not worked out as if we were beginners. We are to deal with the facts of our own day, with the facts of no other, and to make laws which square with those facts. It is best, indeed it is necessary to begin with the tariff. I will urge nothing upon you now at the opening of your session which can obscure that first object or divert our energies from that clearly defined duty. At a later time I may take the liberty of calling your attention to reforms which should press close upon the heels of the tariff changes, if not accompany them, of which the chief is the reform of our banking and currency laws; but just .now I refrain. For the present. I put these matters on one side and think only of this one thing of the changes in our fiscal system which may best serve to open once more the free channels of prosperity to a great people whom we would serve to the utmost and throughout both rank and file.

Sup. per will be served at the Gillett hotel. Tonight's session will be in the nature of a smoker. The meeting will end at noon tomorrow. Iowa Kills Suffrage. Des Moines, la.. April 8. Woman's suffrage has been shelved, as far as the present legislature is concerned. The enacting clause was struck out of the Chase bill requiring the subject to be submitted to the women of the state at the next general election. The measure was not pleasing to the wom en of Iowa, who had no funds to fight for a favorable vote and feared apathy on the part of their sex would defeat the suffrage amendment. Their ef forts killed the Chase bill. Rights of a Newspaper. Denver, April g.

There was a better feeling with respect to the future, and some commis sion men were led to state in their week ly market letters that prices would prob ably work toward a higher level thl month. That was the reverse of their forecasts each of the two foreeoine weeks. Steers got the best suppoprt, partly be cause there was a fair country demand for fleshy feeders at $7.90 to $8.25, but more because receipts were light and beef channels were open again. Local supply today is 8,000 head, the same as on last Monday, and the market Is about steady. Except for a run in Chicago a few thou sand above normal today, prices would have been strong. .Native steers brought $8.75 today without much exertion, and strictly prime steers might beat that. Heifers brought $8.25 today, heavy corn's worth $7.50 for best, bulls $7.25, veal calves up to $9.00. Quarantine cattle arrived to the number of 22 cars today, prices steady. Oklahoma steers brought $8.00, and some South Texas steers, weighing 1,120 pounds, brought $7.40 today. Cattle from that sec tion are expected to lower butcher cattle prices; some were here last week at $6.50 to $7.35. but the movement is still light. Colorado sugar mills had several ship ments here today, steers at $8.10 to $8.45 largely. Hog prices have a rising tendency, though the advance is slow. Receipts 6.000 today, market strong, top $9.05; bulk $8.80 to $9.00. Average weights are in creasing, and the premium on light hogs is becoming greater, heavy weignts stop ping at $8.90 today. Eastern markets will not receive many nogs oerore May or June, and demand from shippers will be a strong support to the market up to that time.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING- APRIL 8, 1913- 3 RAILROAD Another Side of Anti-Pass Question Is Revealed. Station Agent on Rock Island Against 'ew Plan. HE HAS NO TIME TO SMILE Too 3Iany Responsibilities for Overworked Employee. Other Items of Interest. Id. the Tufflc World. The forum in this column which has been opened suddenly for the employee Ide of the railroad question in Kansas, has attra'ted more than ordinary in terest in llway circles in this state. The innocent -'.em coming from a rail way official who advised his employees to smile upon all patrons when on duty has brought an answer from every part of Kansas. Today is published a letter from a station agent on the Kansas division of the Rock Island. This agent brings out to the average railway paror a few of the inside duties of the employee and a few of the reasons that a man cannot at all times greet the ticket buyer witli a smile and a top o' the morning" grin. And his r-afois overflow with logic. This agent rpposes also the incom plete plan of the officials to abolish the distribu.ion of free transportation to employees. His letter reads: Railroad Kditor, Tcpeka State Journal, Topeka Kansas. Dear Sir Ncting a piece In the State Journal regarding the railroads discon tinuing issuing passes to company em ployees. Now I have a kick coming which of course as usual will do no good, but I am sure it will do no harm. I am a Kansas division rtation agent of several years experience and. am at present employed at a wayside station tl at pays me about $60 to J6 Tier month, some times more, some times less. I have been in service on the Kansas division several years, out hide working various other placas for various roads and at the above men tioned salary, or wages, which ever von mav call it I have a family to keep and take care of 1 put in abou 3 years various ways learning the business to take my first position of re sponsibility with a railroad as agen ami operator. After taking my firs position. I practically know nothing compared with what I am to learn along as I go, taking care of a station and the num. ous duties which 1 am compelled to do a. id look after every (".ay, besides being eternally '"rawhided' if I do not do, so and so. Now what 1 tin trying to get at is the inestion Should the railway em ployees be denied the use of a small pn ss The section laborers (foreigners) re ceive all i'.'.e way from $1.35 a day to $1.S3 per' day on. extra gangs. They do not have any responsibility, in any shape or form. They pet on a hand car and push up and down, carry a crow bar around occasionally, appear to be using a shovel or pick, or something of this description when they are not smoking a cigarette) and then get al most as much per day for their work ns the much overworked station agent with various responsibilities on his shoulders. The station agent works perhaps 3 or 4 years to get enough anean to ihkc pernaps one week s va cation and then should lie be compelled to pay his fare if he wants to go down the line across into another state? No. Jle should pick up himself and family and start down the track on a tie path he makes a living yes. and that is the end of it He is not permitted to take a day off now and then, and en joy a visit down the line a few stations, mil. wnen ne asKs lor a vacation it must be for a week or more as the company does not care to have the auditors ci me and check you out. and a relief agent in, for only a couple of days. Agents are too scarce for that kind of business.

Well if he stands around with four pencils be hind his ears, checking baggage, etc., and continues to smile answering ques tions and don't get those eggs, bottles for Kansas City: hides for Emporia: hay for DeQueen. Ark.: loading his trunks, etc., what will happen to him? He will be dismissed overlooking that smile. Gentlemen of the jury you who have watched the station agent in a town of from 500 to 900 population on the move from 7 a. m. to 7 p. m. and realize what t" e man behind the ticket window usually has to contend with. I am sure you will agree that they are a class of employees that should not be denied the right of more pay over the common laborer (than from 40 to 50 cents a day difference) allowing him sufficient means to dress better than the laborer according to the responsi bility he is under, and a pass for him self and family, at least once a year, if he so desires. I for one. free man, will discontinue working for the rail road as soon as the right of a pass oc casionally (once every few years) is de nied me and my family. I can go out as well clerical work of various kinds and make as much as I am making now as an agent and operator without having the responsibility to shoulder that the common agent has. and I can be home all day Sunday with my family. I can lay off next Tuesday and go to the picnic. Fourth of July I am going to run in to Topeka and enjoy the day at the parks with my family. Christ mas I will run down home and eat dinner v ith the folks and greatly enjoy the day Not so with the station agent He must shoulder the various re sponsibilities at about 40 or 50 cents a day more than the average laborer gets, who has ijo responsibility, and stay at the wayside country station noiinding away from early till late. making the cash for the big bugs and brass collars, who when they come through your station pay no attention to you but from the next station they drop off a message and say: "John, your coal house fioor is open, get after "this and lock it up quick and keep it securely locked at all times. Why did you leave it open?'1 Regarding the station agents piece in Saturday's paper that all the officials give him the glad hand and a smile and so on and all of his employees. Well that will do for him to tell. He has been expecting advancement for several years and quit a position pay ing him more than he is now getting to take the "Rawhiding Junction ann terminal station he now has and has had for the past two years. He will be advanced some time, no doubt. STATION AGENT, RAWS DROPPED IT Onthit and Ontfielded Pirates Only to Lose. Cocreham Pitched Well but Hornsby Was Lambasted. The Pittsburg Pirates defeated the Kaws Monday afternoon by the score of 6 to 4. The Kaws had the edge on the visitors in every inning of the contest excepting in the seventh when they lambasted Pep Hornsby for five hits and five runs. The Kaws hit hard if not timely, and fielded well. Cochreham pitched the first five in nings of the contest and had the vis itors eating out of his hand. They got but three hits off his delivery and two of these would have been turned into putouts on an ordinary field. Mensor led off and hit to the right of Ollom, who knocked it down but the grounds were so slow he couldn't field it. Rehg followed and hit one to Snan but the sorrel too couldn't throw as any station agent ana u" ms man out. t-enussier got tne otner nit to right field which went just over Ollom's head. The two hits in the first inning and a wild pitch allowed the visitors one run. Hornsby took the mound at the be ginning of the sixth inning and got away unscathed. The visitors fell on his shoots in the next inning. Bisland beat out an infield hit. Eastman sac rificed, Schussler drew free transpor tation, Simon followed with a single to right and scored Bisland. Conzel- man duplicated the feat and scored Schussler. Menson hit to left and scored Simon, Rehg tripled and scored Conzelman and Mensor. The next two were outs. Hornsby came back and allowed one hit in the eighth inning and that was all. The Kaws started after the Pirates in the first inning. Ollom led off -with a double and Dulin and Forsythe scored him with singles. McLarry struck out and Rapps sin gled but Dulin was pinched at the plate. McLarry hit for three bases in the third inning -with two men down and died on the sack. Lee heat out a hit to Eastman in the fourth and rcored when Cochreham doubled to right. Snapp, with one down in the sixth, singled to center. Lee duplicat ed the feat and the former went to third when Billings drew a pass. Snapp scored on Conzelman's bad throw to catch Lee off second. The locals made their last run in the sev enth when Forsythe led off with a sin gle and was forced at second. Rapps singled and was shoved to third by Snapp and then scored. The locals got two on In the eighth but couldn't get the needed hit to score one of the men. The score: PITTSBURG. Players AB. R. H. FO.

Nicholson, vice president of the Santa Fe: George Nicholson is dead. The whole-souled, the genial. He who made a friend of every one with whom he came in contact. From Maine to California the news will carry with it sorrow and regret. Sorrow that a prince had gone from the railway service regret that we had allowed all these years to pass without letting him know the regard and admiration in which we held him. In an acquaintanceship that lasted for thirty-two years, the writer never knew him to be guilty of a little, a mean, or an inconsiderate act. He was that very rare species or humanity, "a perfect gentleman." Either as a general office clerk or vice president, he was the same. Be it a trackman or president with whom he was dealing, his manner did not vary. Each received a considera tion that left a pleasant memory. We can well say, The railway world is better for his having lived," and coupled with our regret at his death s an assurance that It is well with his soul." KltFTTSt'HNITT DENIES ALIj. Oil Southern Pacific Executive Says Idind Was Worthless. New York. April 8. A general de nial of the allegations of the govern ment in its suit to cancel a patent is sued in 1904 to the Southern Pacific Railroad company to 6.300 acres of and in the Elk hills of Kern county. California, on the ground that it was obtained fraudulently by the railroad representing that it contained no oil, has been made by Julius Kruttschnitt. chairman of the executive committee of the Southern Pacific, at the hearing before a special examiner appointed ly the federal court of southern California. The government maintains that the land does contain oil and is worth Jl 5.000.000. Kruttschnitt contended that the lands practically were worthless. Hyatt, rf.

He already is offered a 'good twirler from the St. Louis Browns. He is well satisfied with Hagerman, Har ris and Schreiber and says this section sees better ball than the coast cities. He is determined to again win the pennant. ON THE BENCH. The Kaws expect to go to St. Marys to play an exhibition game with Quig lv's Catholic team April 16. This date is not definitely decided but it is be lieved that it will not be changed. The local baseball park will be one of the best playing fields on the West ern League circuit. The pitcher's box has been lowered about eight inches and the entire infield has been lower ed in proportion. The bad places on the infield have been taken out and the infielders will not be charged with as manv errors in the score as on former occasions. The Chinese college team of Hono lulu will be the local attraction Tues day, April 15. The team, is touring the United States this summer. They ar rived in San Francisco two or three weeks ago and have been winning games quite frequently. Pa Rourke has finally returned to the uniform, ihe spiked shoes and sliding pads after a retirement of more than 15 years. He donned the uniform and accessories in Oklahoma City several days ago and is taking regular work outs with his team. He doesn't expect to heat anv of the other men out of their position but has a desire to re duce the size of his waist line. Rourke was a familiar name in the box score 15 or 20 years ago. He played in the various minor leagues and even in the majors, but an injury to his eyes forced him to retire. He was no cionch a a nlaver and was some pumpkins with the biff stick. Have you been out to see 'em? If not, why not? The bunch looks mighty good, but we are only speaking of their rjerformance in practice games. They may not show up so well in the schedule games but when one consia nr-a that thev haven't got down to weight or given their muscles wor enough to harden them, we can see no cause for criticism. Persons who attend the game next Snndav will be given a chance to win a season pass. The person who guesses the correct line up and score of the opening game witn jjenver, win receive the card pass with tne com pliments of Manager Dale Gear. Spencer Arthur Abbott will manage Dick Cooley's team at San Diego, Cal. during the coming season and has gone to hein spring practice.

It was a cost ly victory, however, as Chance and Derrick were hurt. Chance twisted his ankle while turning first base after a hit in the second inning and was forced to retire. Derrick was spiked on the hand by Wheat, when the latter slid into second. Neither player may be able to start the championship season Thursday. Sterrett took Chance's place. Young, who succeeded Derrick, set the crowd wild with brilliant stops and throws. New York won by bunching hits off Ragon and timely drives after Wag ner had sent men to first on a pass.

If the pitchers can deliver the goods the other part of the team will do its part but they must have pitchers to do some business. Judgment on any player on the team, at fiis date, is merely guess work, but it appears that the team will be the best aggregation tnat ever repreaeni ed he city on the Western League cir cuit. McColloch, who worked five innings Sutiirrlav is looked upon as a comer si -ho will be the mainstays of the team. He is a graduate of the Nebraska State League, and judging from his only performance, he has got the goods. But the same can be sai of Fullerton and Rustenhaven. George Cochran appears to be pulling off r comeback stunt and threatens to get away with it. Hans Wagner did not appear on the local grounds yesterday. He is suf fering from injuries received in a game with the Boston Red Sox which was played March 28 and has gone to visit Bonesetter Reece. This may cause him to be unable to take part in the opening at Cincinnati Thursday. Onlv a week remains in which to send "your guess to Baseball Editor, State Journal, on the paid attendance at the onening game of the season be tween the Topeka and Denver teams. Your guess must be in by April 15. The season pass to be given by this paper is worth more than $40. Seven men in the regular lineup of the Denver Grizzlies will bat from the port-side this season. This may be hard on the right-handed pitchers but fruit for the south paws. Jack Hend rick's team does not look as good as in the opening game last season. He may get a chance to spend some of Jimmv McGill's money for nw play ers before the season is well advanced. Callahan, of Wichita, has finally signed his contract and is on the way to join the team. He was the most obstinate man in the holdout class which the Hughes-McMullen team has had to contend with. Only ten days until the flag falls nnd then the race will be on. Scribes of the circuit, in figuring the strength of the various teams, believe that the Western League will start out with the teams more evenly matched than in any time in the history of the cir cuit. A scribe of the American League picks the teams to finish in the follow ing orders: Philadelphia. Boston, Chi cago, Washington. New York, Detroit, Cleveland and St. Louis. It is general ly conceded that the Athletics are strong but there is a question of doubt about their ability to crowd the Red Sox out of first place. Washington, which finished second in 1912 are not bidding to finish stronger than fourth place but may upset the dope. The four regular Athletic infielders, three Mclnnis, Collins and Baker will swat better than .300 with their eyes closed, and the fourth, Jack Barry, will, if he follows his regular custom, save his bese hits for the times when they are most needed. The Philadelphia outfield isn't what it was when Danny Murphy and Topsy Hartsel were going at full speed. But Rube Oldring is expected to come back and enjoy one of his good seasons, and the two younsrters from Baltimore, C A FEELING OF SECURITY You naturally feel secure when you know that the medicine you are about to take is absolutely pure and contains no harmful or habit producing drugs.

He will be able to resume train ing in a few days. Josh Billings is beginning to show considerable class as a catcher and may be one of the best young men on the circuit before the season closes. The Little Pirates of Pittsburg were a good looking bunch of athletes. Si mon, one of the regular string catch ers was in charge of the team. Among the others who have played regularly were Ham Hyatt and Mensor, who was at second base. Eastman, a Carlisle Indian and a much touted athlete who is a friend of James Thorpe, was play ing short. Red Snapp made his first appear ance yesterday at short field. Lewis Hoffman of Topeka, will meet Dave McAdow of St. Joseph, in a finish match at Osage City Saturday night. The match was agreed to yes terday. Hoffman has never met Mc Adow, but believes that he can throw him. Thev will be evenly matched. Dick Wolf had considerable trouble in Dinning the St. Joseph youngster's shoulders to the mat in Topeka se' eral weeks ago. IE.ACII CROSS-RIVERS. Lightweights in Return. Match Before New York Fans. New York, April 8. The much dis cussed return bout between Leach Cross and Mexican Joe Rivers will be staged tonight at the reopening of the St. Nicholas Athletic club in the at. Nicholas rink and if the interest the local fans' have manifested in the en counter .is to be taken as a criterion. the rink will be jammed to its capacity. In their last match Leach was slight ly outpointed by his Mexican rival. but since that mill Leach has taken the measure of almost all his oppon ents, and will be in better condition for Rivers tonight than he has been in many months. Cross' recent decisive victory over Joe Mandot of New Orleans, who was knocked out by Leach in the tenth round, boosted Cross' stock sky high. Leach and Rivers are the logical con tenders for Ritchie's lightweight crown and in all probability the win ner of tonight's bout in the St. Nicho las rink will be pitted against the champion in a 20 round mill on the coast for the battle. Cross looks as nt as a tiaaie to. fight the hardest battle of his long ca-j reer. He has trained faithfully and has left nothing undone that would place him in condition for the Rivers bout. Rivers trained at Dal Hawkins' road house in West Chester and will be in as good condition for the mill as when he made his debut in this city with the dentist a few months ago. The scrap will be worth going miles to see. The Mexican put the finishing; touches to his training yesterday at; Dai Hawkins' where a large crowd of; boxing fans saw him in action. Joej kept Abdul, the Turk, husy in the I morning, the Mexican tearing into his trainer to the amusement of the on lookers. Joe did not only don the gloves, but spent the afternoon with the bat and ball. He pitched against a picked team and showed that he as adept as a twiner as ne is witn the mitts, scoring a shutout victory.

The Dodge date on the circuit was hanged so as to coincide with the date for the annual Old Soldiers' re union. August 20, 21 and 22. The for mer date on the circuit was two weeks earlier and the Dodge representatives feared they could not get proper sup port for two important meetings so lose together.

PCI.I, T.EASKD WIRK REPORT OP THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news tr ranlzatlon for the exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka. The news Is received in The State Jour Hal building over wires for this sole pur pose. J. Pierpont Morgan was the greatest pinch hitter that evtr played in the financial same. If the simplified spelling board wants to make a hit it will get after those Mexican and Balkan names. It must be presumed that Mr. Wal ter H. Page, who has been made am bassador to England, has the price. It is reported that Wall street is about to put an end to stock gambling. Meaning to commit suicide of course. Porfirio Diaz announces that he will not return to Mexico. He can't run as well as he could in his younger days. There is talk of making Washington a dry town. The hint Is intended of course for the persistent Job-hunters. When Ambassador Page reaches England will all the Britishers be ex pected to subscribe for his magazine? A French savant says that what women want is sun and air. But most of them want a few other things as well. New uses for the parcel post are being found daily. In Missouri a bur glar used It to return some stolen plunder. Imagine the shrieks of merriment that would go up from the English suf fragists if their husbands went on a hunger strike. 'A .uple Ircssed in bathing suits was w;edded a the surf at Palm Beach, Fla., the other day. "What are the wild waves saying?" A blind girl ha3 made President Wil son a present of a broom, probably on the theory that he wants to make a clean sweep. Why haven't we a law against en couraging suicide? A prize of $50, 000 Is offered to the aviator that will fly across the Atlantic. President Wilson ha3 been vac cinated. Still the smallpox can't be much worse than some of the things he is suffering from now. Still, there are a good many citizens who don't care a whoop about the money trust so long as their credit at the grocery itore remains good. Chicago receives two and a half mil lion dollars as her share of the profits made by her street railway the past year. She would have much more if she operated them herself. Nobody heard anything about the high cost of living in the days when a woman knew it was all right to call on her neighbor with an old shawl thrown over her head and her bare arms wrapped up in her apron. In the general excitement Orville Wright forgot to escape from the flood in one of his hydro-planes. This leads the Boston Transcript to remark that: "Old Noah may not have been much of an inventor, but he got there just the same." The pure food authorities of the de partment of agriculture have ruled that not more than 2 per cent of cereal may be added to the meat in the pre paration of a sausage. There is hope i t n a r ,,inmaroiv ,a that ultimately the patron, says the Philadelphia Bulletin ia T7..11n.:n may get an official ruling as to how j many oysters are necessary to const!- j tute a "stew," whether more than one morsel of white chicken is sufficient to j warrant a serving of crust and gravy i being termed "chicken pie," whether a lamb chop shall provide two bites or one. The usual fate of third parties be falls the Bull Moose organization. It teems to matter little in what state an election is held this spring, says the Buffalo News, the party appears to have lost ground greatly since the canvass of last year. Even in the county of the leader of the party the recession of the tide is marked. It is not less so in Chicago and in the towns all over this state. In fact, wherever there is the counting of votes, there is a revelation of Republican renewal of strength, of the standing still of the Democratic party, even though it is in power in most of the states, and the return of the eeceders of last year to the real party at progress. v THE TARIFF BILL. The tariff bill is in and if it pass as drawn the people will get what they have been clamoring for cheap er food and cheaper raw material for use in manufacturing. Among the important raw materials placed on the free list are wool, lum ber, coal and iron. Among the food products made free of duty are meats, flour, bread, milk, cream, potatoes, hogs and corn. Of greatest importance to the busi ness interests of the country, per haps, is the removal of the tariff from steel rail3. The price at which they have been sold in the past has been a heavy handicap on the building o new lines and the upkeep of old ones. That there has not been serious com plaint on this score may be due to two reasons. First- the manufacturers are to large extent owners of the roads, and the sale of rails has been in a meas ure a process of transferring money from one pocket to the other. Second, the railroads have been able to transfer the extra burden to the shoulders of their patrons in the form of freight and passenger tariffs, This tax being an invisible one, the public ha3 not loudly complained. But there Is many a slip betwixt the introduction of a tariff bill and its enactment into law, so that it is hardly worth while to attempt to draw conclusions as to the probable effect of this on the country. DISCRETION IX MW ENFORCE MENT. One of the strongest arguments in favor of home rule for cities, that has appeared is found in an article in the Ani-u imprlran. The writer says: it the mayor and police of New York should conspire to enforce for 4 8 hours all the laws on the statute book, indiscriminately and without respect of persons, there would be a lurid riot, and the militia would patrol the rfrots Doctor Parkhurst, Rabbi Wise and Mr. William Kanaoipn Hearst might grimly stand their ground a while, but it ia ten to one that even they would be swept into the temper of the mob. For instance, there Is a law against Sunday labor; but should the observer, church member and vestryman in regular standing, be haled before the magis trate, though his clothes-line on Sun day afternoon proclaim to all Harlem that cleanliness is supplanting godli ness? No, we all Instinctively felt that this irregularity came within the purview of his conscience and his rec tor. Or, there is a law against gamb ling yet think of the Strong Arm Squad descending upon a bridge party and battering down the doors! Inevitably, the lawn which do not represent the common conscience of the race must be applied with discre tion and discrimination. It is a mis fortune of their unsound philosophy. Discretion differs with executives. Mayor van Wyck's discretion was un like Mayor Gaynor's, and both are un like Mayor Strong's or Mayor Low's. If Doctor Parkhurst were mayor, he would "discretion" heavily in some directions and lightly in others. So would Mr. McAneny, Mr. Tim Sulli van, Bishop Greer, or, for that matter, anyone. But as long as this compul sory discretion exists as long, name ly, as the four-flush statute conflicts with public opinion so long the po lice, the working force of the execu tive, will be subjected to more severe temptation than society has any right to put upon anyone. This Is no exe cuive's fault, and no executive can help it. These temptations would be quite as urgent upon the New York police force if Doctor Parkhurst were mayor as they are now. They do not depend upon the character, energy or intentions of any mayor. They arise inevitably arise out of our hypocritical and bungling philosophy of lawmaking. At present, our great and powerful cities are in theoretical bondage to whatever general laws may be con ceived by a rural majority in the leg islature. Many such laws are incon sistent with sour-l economics, demo cratic philosophy, or even democratic ethics. As such they are unenforce able, and the direct cause of the cor ruption and inefficiency that every body deplores. SETTLED OUT OF COVRT. The interstate commerce commis sion may not be regarded in the light of a "common enemy" by the ship pers and the railroads, but in one In stance it has been the means of caus ing them to get together. Both the railways and the shippers have heretofore rejected the orders of the commission in the very important cases wherein the commission first ex ercised its power to fix reasonable rates, under the latest modification of the interstate commerce law. The commission issued its order fixing reasonable rates in 540 carload corn- j", moditv cases, and 436 less than car-

I to make tneir rates to points tnis side the pacific coast terminals above their rates to the terminals by more than certain percentages to certain arbitra- ily fixed zones. The order dissatisfied all hands, and is under appeal, but the commission now has assented to agreements between the railways and their customers in some 400 cases. It ha3 been estimated that the order of the commission compelled the loss by the railways of 6 per cent upon $2 00, 000,000. It is not possible now to say how great Is the sum. involved in the compromise approved by the commis sion, but it is more important than the dollars involved, however many. Settlement by agreement may be hoped to be settlement which settles. Of course, if the railways had agreed on these same rates, that would have been conspiracy in restraint of trade, and if the shippers had agreed to ship by any one carrier to coerce any other carrier, that, too, would have been conspiracy. But agreements between all railways and all shippers are dif ferent. Sometimes statutes which read like j a finality rather open than settle dis- 'putes. The commission does not ap pear to be such a dictator as the statute seemed to make it, and the railways are less the humble servants of the commission than they seemed. Also, the shippers who assent to the rates now fixed are not such victims as they were described, and described themselves. If only this agreement had been reached sooner, all concern ed would have been saved much trou ble and politics. The appearance is that of a simple and satisfactory solu tion of a complicated case. 2 JA YHA WKER JOTS Eureka Is to have a Carnegie library. Iola voted almost unanimously in favor of granting a franchise to the new interurban railway. The Leavenworth Times has come around j Gen. Hancock's view that "the tariff is a local question." Cherryvale has voted its pool halls out of existence and the Gazette urges Lawrence to do the same thing. The Humboldt Herald has been sold to a man from Missouri. No doubt the new editor will insist on being shown. The Fort Scott Tribune says three members of the city council were drunk at the last meeting and the edi tor insists on knowing where they got It. Anna Carlson says the best men among her acquaintances all are mar ried. Did it ever occur that being mar ried may account for their good char acter? The state has joined with the auto mobile makers in trying to drive the horse out of business. Oxen are used for hauling and plowing at the peni tentiary farm. The following from the Wellington Journal indicates that the editor's his tory is not on straight: "April 4. 1861 James H. Lane and C. S. Pomeroy be came the first United States senators from Kansas. Afterwards Lane com mitted suicide. Pomeroy killed him self politically by voting to acquit Andrew Johnson." Substitute Ross for ir-omeroy ana you have it. If you have noticed anything lacking in the Concordia Kansan, here is the explanation from Gomer Davies, him self: "We must acknowledge that the Kansan does not contain the usual 'pep' in the editorial sectfbn. The old man Is not much account when any one of his household is sick, and the other employees of the office are kept quite busy enough with their own work, so they cannot do the old man's' too. We are quite sure that under the circumstances our short comings will be overlooked.'' GLOBE SIGHTS BY THIS ATCHISON GLOBE. There are times when not telllnsr la bet ter than telling the truth. A deep breath Is more refreshing than a deep drink, and costs less. woman never gets so old that she can pass a mirror without looking into it. People have such swift imaginations that the first reports are usually exag gerated a good deal. You may have observed that the chil dren who are Ruled by Love are not gov erned very strictly. Why. we rise to inauire. Is so much more fuss made over the June bride than over those of other months? Soon be time for the farmers to renew their quarrel as to whether early or late planting Is best for the corn. Ab Adkins says he didn't marry his wife's kin. but that seems to be no rea son why he shouldn't help support them. We are r,atlent, and much-enduring, bu" no weather man can give satisfaction by mixing blizzards and tornadoes. Most young men reach a point some time In their career when their idea oi heaven Is to have all the good clothes they want. An agent can work any kind of a scheme on a woman if his eyes happen to have the color and expression or those oi her first boy, who died when he was a baby. "I claim this little distinction: I never forget to mail my wife's letters; being fan j well acquainted witn me, my w le mails her own letters." Rufe Hoskins. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Peace hath her victories, but some of us hate peace. It doesn't take an editor to turn down a hard luck story. The straight and narrow path is general ly avoided by the rounder. Even when a woman is a perfect poem she is seldom averse to flattery. Before a man can leave footprints in the sands of time he must accomplish some feat. A girl of 16 never sees a play without noting a striking resemblance betweei. herself and the heroine. Sillicus "Do you believe that love Is due to a microbe?" Cynicus "I d go far ther than that. I think it's a bug." The man who doesn't know the differ ence between work and play couldn't dis tinguish a wheelbarrow Irom an automo bile. Hubbubs "Going to have a garden this vear. Subbubs?" Subbubs "No, I tnlnk I'll trade my garden for a good can opener." We can't have everything we want. Many a man with a corn beef and cab bage appetite has one of those milk toat stomachs. Tommy "Pop. what Is an expert 7" Tommy's Pop "An expert, my son, is a person who is able to impress us with how little we really know." Some things are better left unsaiu quoted the Wise Guy. "Sure," agreed I th Kimnle Mug. "Every breach of prom ise siut demonstrates that." "Man is made of dust," remarked the. minister, solemnly. "Yes, but dust set tiles, which is more than can be said of some men." replied the -vorldly one. POINTED 'PAKAGRATnE. From the Chicago News. Jealousy is the offspring of distrust. The more birthdays a woman has the less they count. Treat people kindly and you will find them easier to work. Many a man has married in haste and paid alimony at leisure. A sentimental girl Is lost at a wedding without a dainty handkerchief. Honesty never looks better to man than when it comes home to roost. Everything comes to him who waits. He'll even get the earth when he dies. Occasionally we meet a man who acts S3 if he was 'living his life by contract. Nothing pleases some people but they get a kind of satisfaction out of knocking. When a woman runs after a man he tries to lose her, but when she flees he is quick to pursue. There's always some man around f second any kind of motion except a motion that looks like work. After on orator has reached the top he will not express his opinions unless some one Is willing to pay the express charges. -t takes a romantic girl to refer to a caterpillar as an "unfinished butterfly," and a cynical man to call a butterfly an overdone caterpillar 1 2Y THE WAY BT HARVEY PARSONS. The last election was about the most satisfactory on record. It seems to be a case of "everybody happy." The drys consider it a notable victory for the cause, and the wets are of the optomistic opinion that "things will loosen up a little now." Every man has his price if not in cash in some other thing of value to him, but some men put the price so high above the market value of their virtue, that they live and die honest. Others sell out for a little cheap no toriety, and think they are honest be cause there was no cash consideration in the deal. A contemporary announces that gov ernment authorities are looking for 20 girls who mysteriously disappeared, and that the girls were "fresh from Europe." The fact that they were "fresh" may have something to do with the fact that they failed to reach the proper destination. But perhaps the paragraph should have said: "Green from Europe." A new free paper has been started in Topeka. That a free paper is worth just what it costs, is a bromide, but nonetheless true. And, if it follows the route taken by other free papers, the publisher, E J Morse, will scon take R E into part nership. The evil effects of coffee may be aptly illustrated by the sad case of the New Jersey gent who recently passed away at the tender age of 103. after drinking 8 cups per diem all his life. Be warned in time! Cut it out and drink some of the slop offered as a substitute. And, continuing the subject of break fast drinks, Mrs. Wilson gave a society breakfast without wine. We heartily agree with Mrs. Wilson that wine is the poorest possible excuse for a morn ing snort. A Chicago doctor claims that rheum atism is a germ, but Hen Holcomb still insists that rheumatism is a ding donged, double-dashed nuisance. It may have been observed that a number of politicians are changing their politics. The politician who ob jects to being horned away from the pie counter resembles the virtuous gink who said he would never, never marry a woman ior her money it ne couia frame up any other way tq get it. Speaking of Parisian novelties, a duel in which both participants were slight ly punctured, was staged recently in the French capital. The charge against Senator Gore seems to approve the contention that when one of the five senses is lost, the others are more highly developed. SAYS UNCLE GAV It is not well to complain too much of life's unceasing struggle. The chances are that you don't mean what you say upon this subject, that you are patently mistaken in your views and that your neighbors will ruffle your sensibilities by refusing to take you seriously True, you are entitled to a fair chance. You should not be required to go through your earthly existence handicapped-by hopeless environments or lack of practical education. Society owes to itself, as well as to you, the duty to see that the man who is stronger than you doesn't push you through the horizon and off the earth. Its duty is to preserve to you certain inalienable rights as saith the Dec laration of Independence, among these being the right to work, to be paid for your work, to live among sanitary and cheerful surroundings, to love as much as you will without becoming a nuisance, and to laugh as long and loudly as you may without disturbing the peace. When society has done this, it has done about all that you can ask of it. If it does more, it may work you an irreparable injury. Having had the work habit fixed upon It through these millions of years. and having adjusted every muscle, fiber, atom and sensation to that habit, the human race is very evidently committed to toil while time shall last. He that loseth his labor loseth his life, and we live by keeping up our circulation. Our mental health depends upon wanting things and living in the hope of getting them. Our bodily health requires the stimu lation of exertion. When we no longer want things and reach for them, we cease to live and begin to die. Then it's merely a ques tion of how long it will take dissolu tion to overcome the fabric of the body. To have every want satisfied is the acme of unhapplness. Witness Alexander, who of this disappointment fell into a fever and died because his imagination could conceive no further task for his genius. Witness the man who has "made his pile" and takes no longer a lively interest in life. Death is already upon him. Whether there is any moral obliga tion to labors daily for that which we consume and pay in Human service for that whioji sustains us, there is to a certainty a physical obligation to do so. To live in a world wnere nothing is left to strive for would be torture to the normal being, and that torture would end in death. We have been used for so many untold generations to the stimulation of toil that we can not live without it in some form or other. We are the seed of men who have survived by struggle, and thus only can we exist and perpetuate our selves. The family that lolls in the lap of luxury for generations and in termarries with others who live as they, presently becomes extinct. It's a choice between struggle and extinction. If you wish gradually to fade from this scene of strife, cease to work, but before you pass out, the soul of the cave man ancestor who, club in hand: went out and fought the mam moth for his land, will rise up in your veins to curs3 you.

In the creak of the straining sluices. The voice of our master calls. For we are the river's servants And we bide with the river's will. For him is our toil and labor. And his the right to kill. Our strength is the strength of the waters That foam on the jagged rocks. That boils In the deep, dark eddies. And tear at the sluice-gate blocks. And out through the black-walled forests That over the whirlpools bend, We will follow the trail of the river Till we come to the river's end. Small time shall there be for sleeping, When the boom-logs shiver the ice, We gamble our lives with the river. But the river holds loaded dice. Full many a stone shall witness A life that the falls have won. What matter the toil of the drivers If the work of the drive be done? Yale Literary Magazine. THE EVENING STORY What Bob Achieved. (By Donald Allen.) He was the son of the village butch er, and his name was Robert Ander son Jones. He was in love. Of course no one called him Robert. He was "Bob" to children and adults alike. He was short, stout and red-faced Just the sort of a young man to shoulder tne carcass or a yearling calf. He was so madly in love that he was losing his sleep and his appetite, and his father became so worried about him that he said to the wife and mother: "I can't make Bob out for the last month. "But I can," was the reply. is ne tnreatened with consump tion?' "About as much as a hitching post! "I've thought mebbe he had some thing on his conscience. You know somebody cut off the tail of Elder Spinner's cow a month ago. Think our Bob might have done it in fun?" "No, I don't think anything of the sort. What I do think, however, is that you are a very stupid man!" "For why, mother?" "Because Bob is in love, and it's the talk of the village!" Our Bob in love!" he asked in as tonishment. "Who's the gal?" Yes, Bob Anderson Jones was in love, and the name of the party of the second part was Ninita Blythe Scott. She had been named by her mother after the heroine of a novel. She had arrived at the age of 20, and was the daughter of the village cooper. Though her father made bar rels and her mother got the Monday wash out on the line ahead of any other woman in Freeport. Ninita had sentiment heaps of sentiment. Al though the girl was tall and gawky and was always called Ninny, a few persons suspected the quantity of ro mance in her nature. If her mother gave her carpet rags to sew she sat and -looked out of the window and thought of the heroes of old until a box on the ear recalled her to the unromantic present. Her father had two pairs of trousers that needed patches, but was it any good to shake them at his romantic daughter and tell what sort of a wom an her grandmother was? There was no knighthood In dish washing; no heroism in patches; no warbling of troubadors in stringing apples to dry or making soft soap. That was the sort of girl Bob An derson Jones was madly in love with and feared he couldn't get. He had started in to love her as he would any other girl, but he was not long in dis covering his mistake. She would not go driving with him on Sundays be- J cause there was no romance about a butcher cart. She would not walk out with him in the evening unless it was moonlight. Sometimes Ninny was sent to the Jones butcher shop to order cow's liver for supper. At such times Bob would seek to lead the conversation to the scarcity of young lambs or the greed of the meat trust, but she an swered him not. She was wondering whether Richard the Lion-Hearted cared whether cows had liver or not A fellow in love must know that he is gaining ground or he becomes wretched and desperate. There came a date when Bob Jones demanded to know his fate. The pair was sitting on the steps of the village school house. Bob had been thinking of whether it would pay to put a gilt framed mirror into the butcher shop, like the city shops, and Ninny was listening intently to tne bazoo of an old bullfrog that was giving an af ternoon performance down in the swamp, when the young man drew a long breath and said: "Ninny, I love you!" "Yes?" she replied. "I want you for my wife." ."Um." (With thoughts of the gent who crossed the Rubicon.) "I'll always love you. And father will give me half the shop." "Um." (With her thoughts brought to tripe.) "I will never swear nor scold." "No?" (How could one be a hero without cussing now and then?) "I'm most crazy about you. Mother says yu don't amount to shucks, but I can never love another as I love you. Will you have me? You must answer. Bob," she replied as the old frog uttered a sort of whoop and took a dive under water. "Well, dear." "I am not your dear. I can never be your dear unless What?" Unless you rise above the sordid herd and become my soul-mate." "Herd of cattle?" he naturally asked. "Bob, doeg the great w"hite moon mean anything to you?" "Why, if it's moonlight I don't have to carry a lantern." "Does the song of the whippoorwill touch a chord?" "Haven't remarked it. I think him a fool for singing around nights when he could be in bed." "When the breeze whisper8 among the treetops when the ripening grain ripples in the field when the rain drops patter on the roof when the night bird warbles to us when when j "Oh, come off. Ninny!" interrupt ed Bob. "This is love, but it's busi- ness at the same time. I want you j for a wife. Am I going to get you?" "You have read of Bayard?" she softly queried. "Not a line." "Of the gallant knights of St. John? Of Alexander the Great? Of Caesar? Of how the Hellespont was crossed? Of how America was dis covered? Of the gallant knights and chevaliers that used to ride about rescuing damsels in distress?" "I never did. Ninny. Ever since I was 12 years old I have been helping father in the butcher business."

The tie that binds husband to wife and wife to husband stands above all other obligations, but it does not can cel all others. There are a great many young people now-a-days who seem to think it does. A young girl who has been the chief reason for living for her father and mother all her life, falls in love and marries. The unceasing efforts and sacrifices which they have been mak ing ever since she was born, in order to give her pretty clothes, a good edu cation and an opportunity to be with the right people, culminate in the preparations for her mariage. She accepts a beautiful trousseau, a large supply of household gooda and her expensive wedding with all the love and effort and sacrifice these things mean, as her natural r-icrht and gives her parents the tenderest of farewells in return. You see she is going to a distant city to live. Her husband has an idea that he will find ueiier Dusiness opportunities there. For her it means a new lifo on n of fascinating and wonderful nniMi.

Tt never seems to occur to her to fi any deep regrets, or to try to find some other plan of action that will satisfy her obligations to her husband and her parents. She seems to feel as if the old obligations were completely loiincu wuen sne asumea the new Do you think she is right? I don't. As I said at first, I believe the ob ligation betweep husband and wife is the first thing in the world, but not the whole thing. And the man or woman who has anv senso of grati tude will never be happy without do Ing his or her best to fulfill both ob ligations. Sometimes the two needs pull so nara in opposite directions that it is not possioie to satisfy them both. And then, of course it is the primal tie that exists between the two Tirnom God has made one flesh, which must siana. un a sea voyage I once met a woman who was going to South Amer ica to meet her husband whom she had not seen for five years. We sup posed he had been In South America all that time, but she nonchalantlv ex plained that he had made one brief inp norm. He did not, however, have time to come to the middle west where she was living with her mother, and as her mother was 111, she said she did not quite like to leave her to go to him. I remember what a queer, un natural creature she seemed to the rest of us. But this Is the exceptional case. Ordinarily the two obligations are not mutually exclusive. -If she really tries, a woman can usually manage to be a good wife and still a daughter, and a man doesn't need to cease being a son the day he becomes a husband.

INGALLS INDIGNANT. Sheffield Ingalls' system is all clog ged up with condensed indignation be cause Senator Bristow announced the other day that he had not decided which party he would select in which to try to be re-elected to the United States senate. The lieutenant gover nor says that Bristow talks like the unregenerated children of damnation, the old party politicians. He appears to have a suspicion that Bristow is willing to go with any party that will help him keep his Job. In this Shef field is undoubtedly correct. But the Atchison gentleman should not be too severe upon the Salma statesman. Didn't Ingalls run for lieutenant gov ernor and secure the election as a Re publican? If memory does not fail us he didn't change his name from the Republican column when it was decided that the name of Roosevelt must be taken from that column and that of Taft substituted. Not any. Sheffield allowed his name to appear under the eagle and under the name of William H. Taft. He did that in order to get the Job. Had he held the high patriotic notions then that he preaches now and acted according ly he would not have come anywhere near being elected and he knew it. The Times has not been retained aa defender of Bristow and ia strongly impressed with the belief that the lieutenant governor is right In his es timate 'of the senator, but we recall this bit of past political history in the hope that it will act as a purgative to relieve the congested condition of Sheffield's system. Leavenworth Times. MORGAN AND PUJO. The silliest thing likely to be said of the death of J. P. Morgan is that he was killed by the Pujo investigating committee. This statement was given out by one of his physicians shortly after the death of the great financier in Rome last Sunday. Morgan was not the sort of man to break down under the examination of a mere committee of congress. He had long held himself superior to the ordinary laws and re garded a group of congressmen Inquir ing into his business as a sort of joke. Morgan may have done wrong in his day but he never knew it. He was entirely convinced not only of the rec titude but of the necessity of his fi nancial methods. He appeared before the Pujo committee not to defend him self but to do his best to enlighten a stupid committee and a criticizing pub lic for their own good. It never oc curred to him that he was on trial be fore his fellow citizens or that there was anything in his career that re quired defense. But even if it were true that Mor gan's ordeal before the money trust committee killed him neither the com mittee nor the public that demanded the investigation should suffer and sor row over the result. The world can very well afford to lose every man whose business methods are of such a nature that exposure Is fatal to him. Salina Union. IROM OTHER PENS TACT AND TOBACCO, Owing to the number of women who will vote at Topeka, Kansas, this spring the authorities have taken action to dis courage smoking at the polls that Is. to discourage men's smoking. It has not occurred to the authorities that the women care to smoke at the polls, and the object is to conduce to their comfort rather than curtail their privileges. Be that as It may, Mrs. Belva Lockwood, the noted suffragist, objects to the reg ulation, and we commend her rare tact. If suffrage Involved taking tobacco out of politics at the very outset, the sisters might encounter more difficulty in obtaining the vote. It might be more sagacious at the present stage for our political equals to become "one of us" In the additional sense of good fellow ship and cultivate our very habits If need be to ingratiate themselves with this limitation, that they will not be asked to buy us cigars. How well suffrage and toTjacco will mix is going to be an Interesting If not a vital question. Ninety-nine and nine tenths per cent of male politicians are addicted to the vile weed and perhaps this is one of the things that are the matter with politics. Coming Into poli tics saturated with nicotine, the prob lem of the suffragists is first to get In and afterwards to purify the system. This undoubtedly presents the supreme test of feminine tact, in a cause worthy of Its exercise. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. MUNICIPAL JOURNAL RECALLED Sixteen months ago the city of Los Angeles elected a city adminis tration for a term of four years. Every man on the ticket was a re former of the most pronounced stripe and when they were all elected there was great rejoicing among the up lifters. But last Monday they were all recalled! They lasted out only a little more than one-fourth of their term, then the tinsel and gliding wore away and they were found to be Just common clay. Also a year ago the city voted to establish a "Municipal Journal." The muckrakers had con vinced the people that the papers they already had could not be depended upon to give the news or to tell the truth, and so a city-owned paper must be started. And last Monday it also was tucked away in its little recall coffin, the taxpayers having decided that the $36,000 It had cost might have been better spent. Los Angeles is one of the star "progressive" cities of the country, but little by little It seems to be learning that a change is not necessarily a reform.

Street Railway Line Go West on Kightli to City Limits. Twenty minutes to Gage's park that's the plan of Albert Patten, superintendent of the Topeka street railway. The Kighth street line is to be extended within a mile of the park, making it available to picnickers and pedestrians. The plan has been under discussion for several months, but will not be confirmed until the arrival of Albert Patten, who returns from Cali fornia tonight. Howard Patten, as sistant superintendent, declares in all probability the road will be rushed to completion, and be finished in May. Three years ago the city council granted leave of extension, the time to expire next month. Under the com mission form of government the city can assess a percentage of earnings for granting of franchise. In con sideration of this fact, it is to the in terest of the company to complete the extension at once.

Jackson, like John Bunny, realizes that to be funny he need only be himself. With due apologies to Mr. Jackson, he somewhat resembles Bud Fisher's "Mutt." Perhaps he likes to heighten the resemblance. In fact, like one of Tennyson's fair women, he is "most divinely tall." Jackson, accompanied by Van Horn, talks, sings and plays the piano. The audience liked the pair. They were recalled again and again, I ana gave an encore that was much ap preciated. The Alexander Troupe, a sextet of Russian dancers, have been featured as a remarkable act. The Russian dancers, which suggests Pavlowa and Mordkin. is rati, r an alibi.

H. 1T0 GET THE HABIT Santa Fe Safety Bally lVas a Big Success. Thirty-Fire Hundred in tendance at Meeting. At- TALKS WERE TP THE POINT J. D. 31. Hamilton, "Father" of Movement, "Was There. Prominent Santa Fe Officials Were Among the Speakers. Prominent Santa Fe officials told 3,500 Santa Fe employees at the safety rally Saturday night in the Auditorium how to get the "safety habit." J. D. M. Hamilton, claims attorney for the Santa Fe system, who opened the meeting, termed the move ment, which has "let with popular favor, a "Godsend." C. W. Kouns, general manager, act ed as chairman. The principal speaker of the occasion was Isaiah Hale, commissioner of safety for the Santa Fe. His address, which was re plete with valuable suggestions, was illustrated with moving pictures showing the numerous careless things that railway workmen do every day. As Mr. Hamilton is the "father" of the safety habit movement which has spread like wild fire to railway lines all over the country, it was fitting that he should open the meeting and make the introductory remarks. The concluding feature was the singing of a song hit, "We'll Rally 'Round the Safpty Habit," composed by the orig inator of the idea. The meeting was an enthusiastic one. The speeches were right to the point, and the big crowd went away feeling that the loss of life through carelessness will be reduced to a minimum as a result of the move ment. One of the best talks of the even ing was made by James Mullens, fore man of the blacksmith shops. To judge from the enthusiasm displayed by the audience, he struck the key note of safety habit idea. Progress of the Movement. In introducing the chairman, Mr. Hamilton said: "This safety movement inaugurat ed as it has been upon many of the prominent railroads of the country, as well as in the manufacturing in dustries throughout our continent, has spread itself so rapidly that it has met with public favor upon the part of the laboring element. It attracted the attention of the president of our railway system. Mr. E. P. Ripley. It attracted my attention, as head of the claim department of this system. "I realized in looking over the rec ords in my office that there were too many accidents happenings upon the Santa Fe Railway system that might just as well have been avoided. I came to the conclusion two years ago that 75 per cent of the accidents that were happening were brought about by the carelessness of the employee himself or some employee working with him. "The thought struck me that no more humanitarian act could be in stalled upon any railroad or manu facturing industry that would reap louder praise for the man who gave it his attention and who injected into the minds of the. employee the safe ty habit in so far as the performance of their work is concerned. Mr. Rip ley, the great humanitarian that he is, believing in the welfare of the 75,000 employees that are in his charge and having a heart full of affection for their happiness, pros perity and the preservation of their lives, saw fit to entrust to the claim department the organization of a safety bureau and we have done so. It has met with favor upon the Atchi son proper. "It has met with favor upon the Gulf lines, where our commissioner of safety has been giving his safety show and tonight is the last meeting that is being held upon the system east of Albuquerque. My friends, It is not. my purpose to make you a speech tonight far from it. I believe in the protection of American labor. I believe to do so is to safeguard the employees and the employers. I feel confident that the safety habit can be preserved in the ranks of our men, not only for their benefit, but for the benefit of their families. "I believe that we are doing a good, that is a Godsend, to each and every one of you and when this is done and the men are thoroughly vaccinated with 'Get the Safety Habit' I believe that the cloud of distress that has been hovering over you will be lifted that the flag of carelessness will be hauled down, and the arms of the chance taker will be stacked, there to remain forever for your protection." Purpose of the Meeting. In explaining the purpose of the campaign the chairman, Mr. Kouns, said: "We are on a campaign of safety that our lives and our limbs may be preserved to us and our families and I know we can make success our own. Let us go forward with the campaign, taking advantage of the experience of others and especial advantage of the experience of our safety commissioner who can teach us how to help our selves in the exercise of judicious care and to avoid many of the distressing accidents that occur. We have quite a long program, a most interesting one. and we will hurry along the speechmaking part of it. "This campaign I wish to say to you is endorsed by all of the executive Some Sensible Advice On Womanly Beauty (From Marytn's Drug Journal) Healthy hair adds much to womanly beauty. It is such an easy matter to have a glorious mass of lovely hair that tne dull, "stringy" kind is inexcusable. A canthrox shampoo (which can be mixed at home and costs very little at any drug gist's) removes every particle of dust, dandruff and excess oil and, after rinsing, the hair dries quickly. It makes the head feel good and leaves the hair soft, fluffy and easy to do up. Keep, the skin clear, velvety and at tractive and remove tan and freckles by daily applying a lotion easily prepared at home by stirring two teaspoonfuls o? glycerine into one-half pint witch ha. el (or hot water) then adding four ounces spurmax. which costs little at any drug gist's, this lotion which is used in stead of face powder seems part of the skin which it tones to a beautiful, nat ural color while overcoming the oily, sniny appearance of the face, so often due to perspiration.

Its success lies in your nanas ana mine ana lrwe exercise the care that we ought to exercise, we snaii De aounaantly rewarded. Mr. deed's Address. C. S. Gleed, a director of the Santa e, delivered an address which was to tne point. He said: "Perhaps the most striking distinc tion between barbarism and civiliza tion is the difference in the estimates they respectively make on the value of the human body and human life. "The further we go towards barbar ism the less regard we find for the human body or human life. "The further we go towards civiliza tion the more regard we find for the human body and human life. "The higher the civilization the more firm is the conviction that the human body is a sacred thing as the dwelling place of an immortal soul. "In our own country, throughout its history, we have felt and professed the greatest possible regard for the human body and human life. We have condemned murder and given murderers the extremest punishments and havie filled our statute books with prohibitions of and punishments for crimes against the human body. So valuable have life and bodily welfare been considered that countless law yers have done little else than prose cute claims for injury or death against individual firms and corporations who have directly or indirectly caused in jury or death without under any cir cumstances intending to cause harm to anybody. "We have been very highly civilized J so far as our feelings and professions ana laws are an index. The great trouble has been and is that we have not been thoroughly or even reason ably practical in our measures for warding off bodily injuries. We ap pear to have relied too much on the fear of lawsuits as an influence for working people, careful of the wel fare of others. "We have said, in effect. If we haner over the heads of individuals and corpora tions heavy penalties for inflicting hurt on others, they will surely be as careful as they possibly can be. But this is not a sound conclusion. The willingness to take undue risks in every direction is a characteristic of mankind. The boy be gins by swimming in dangerous waters, skating on thin ice and climbing too high in the trees. "The young man runs his motor too fast, flies too high in his aeroplane, plunges into football and other forms of bloodshed and goes generally in search of danger. Finally the full grown man rides over rotten railroad tracks, sleeps in fire-trap houses, turns death loose on July Fourth, encourages the use of rail road tracks for promenade and play ground purposes, rides on poor roads and flimsy country bridges, builds towns where floods can get them and in a thou and other ways courts danger to the human life. "So far as the railroads of the United States are concerned, I assert without fear of successful contradiction that they have gone further and done more for the preservation of the human body and human life than any other one agency. "It is true that when the year's figures are made up, the record of deaths and injuries growing out of the operation of our railroads is appalling but if such rec ords could be compared with the records of death and injury due to other lines of activity, they would be found to be in every way more favorable. "It is a fact that I feel much more like buying an accident policy when I leave a Santa Fe train than when I board one. I think this feling is shared by all the experienced travelers of the country. That the railroads have been more diligent than others in this respect is due to many reasons. One is that managers themselves the supervis ing officers are likely. to'be the first to suffer from the misconduct "of employees. Another is that the financial penalties are greater in the case of railroads than is the case of any other defendants in litigration based on personal injury. To Conserve Human Life. "Though already ahead of all others in their efforts to conserve human life, the railroads are growing daily more and more anxious to make progress in this direction. They are goaded on to this by a merciless opinion and by the relent less prod of modern accounting. The ac countant and the statistician of the pres ent day causes a common run of insignifi cant facts to bloom into vast acres of important conclusions. "Thousands of facts which once would have been slurred over as -unimportant details of railroad management are now developed into terrible indictments of men and managers and methods. Accountants and statisticians are showing every day more and more viviaiy tne eoraoiuu: waste in every form of unnecessary im pairment of physical efficiency. In other words, personal injury does not pay and must be reduced to the very minimum. "It therefore happens that your railroad, the great Santa Fe, Is a leader as it al ways is in the great work of insuring safetv. When vour old commanders, William B. Strong and Albert A. Robin son, finished the new line from Kansas City to Chicago, their boast was that no similar mileage in the United States was so free from grade crossings. So your present commanders. Mr. Ripley and his associates, are leaving nothing in their power undone to insure safety to the lives and persons of every employee and every patron and every citizen coming in con tact with the property. And this not alone because it pays but because the most elemental demands of righteousness require it. They believe in civilization and not in barbarism." Some Significant Figures. Mr. Hale gave some figures that were significant. He said: "Ever since I took up this work on the Santa Fe I have been trying to hit upon some scheme or device, some plan, that would give me an opportunity of talking to you women, publicly of course. For, just as vou women had more to do witn the breaking up of the liquor habit among railroad men, which happily is broken up, just so you are going to be the very best of help, the most potent force in the spreading of this gospel of safety. "It means more to you, you women, than it does to your husband or his son. If he loses his life, his griefs and sorrows are all behind him but you are just com ing into yours. I want to remind you that out oi the nearly 170,000 people who were killed and Injured on the American rail roads last year, that over 'JO per cent of them were avoidable were due to some one's carelessness or thoughtlessness or cussedness or whatever you want to call it. I want to remind you that it is you and your families that are going to be benefited by the prevention of accldents. It is not the stockholders and officials who are getting hurt. Eighty-three per cent of all the people injured on Ameri can railroads came from among you men who work on the roads. "The best railroads have been able to do was go to the widows and orphans and leave with them a few bank notes to wipe away their tears. The railroads have had no other alternative, they have had to use the scales put in their hands by legislators and courts and to weigh money against misery- But these scales have never been in balance and sincerity and nonesty or purpose nave never oeen sat isfied with the bargain and it has been no fairer to the railroads than to you meu and no fairer to you men than to the rail road company. "Heretofore our stock in trade has been the 'pound of cure.' If you lost an arm or a leg we sought to cure your ills by giving you a few dollars, which through bad investment or in some other way you might lose tomorrow. 'The pound of cure has brought us nothing, except may be to give us an over-supply of flagmen and other loyal employees who as result of injuries found their earning capacity cut in two. But with your help we want to try 'An ounce of prevention' and see what that will do for us, for you know an ounce of prevention is worth a sound of cure."

The feature of the regular April meeting of the school board Mon day night was an exhaustive report on the condition of the schools by the superintendent, C. C. Starr. Super intendent Starr intimated that the re cent ruling relative to the use of supplemental readers is working a hardship. The report read in part: "The Topeka school system has re cently been undergoing certain modi fications tending to emphasize the work that is more fundamental and to make the school more efficient. One-fourth of the time of the eight years of the course has been given to reading, one-fourth to writing, spelling, language and grammar, one fourth to arithmetic, geography, his tory and citizenship. It will be ob served that the fundamental subjects receive the chief emphasis and that a relatively small amount of time is given to other subjects that are valu able but of relatively less import ance. "Topeka was among the first to undertake to have the pupils design dresses and hats that they make, and the work in this line has .attracted wide attention in educational circles. "The manual training work consists more largely of making useful things found on the market and more train ing directly for productive industry is undertaken. "Elementary science introduced in the freshman year, proves to be one of the most useful subjects in the high school. "A course in normal training has been provided for those who are pre paring to teach in district schools. The state pays the city 500 per year for maintaining this course. All of last year's class in this course passed the state examination (including the common branches) and received two year renewable certificates from the state. "The work in spelling has been en larged so as to include as many words from the other subjects as from the spelling book. The meaning of all words spelled is made clear. "Greek has been dropped from the course on account of lack of suffi cient demand for it." The shafting and open belts at the manual training building will be en closed in order to guard against ac cident. Wire netting will probably be used for the purpose. Mrs. C. J. Evans recommended that a sewing machine be purchased for the girls of every eighth grade school room of the city. She said: "The boys are getting all the manual training equipment. It is about time the girls got their share." No action was tak en by the board relative to the pur chase" of the machines, but it is prob able that they will be included in the budget for the next school year. The report of the treasurer showed that there is a balance on hand in the banks to the credit of the board of $18,860.89 a small balance in each of the funds. At the Majestic. The Emma Bunting Stock company is appearing in "Pretty Miss Nobody" at the Majestic this week. Miss Bunt ing is clever in her selection of plays; small, naive and ingenious, she chooses roles she can easily portray. As Gussle Stokes, a youngster of the Golden West, she is well placed. There's one astonishing thing about the diminutive leading lady: she is most courageous in her choice of colors. Eschewing blues and browns, she appears in vari ous shades of pink, red and rose. Des pite her Titian locks they are quite becoming. "Pretty Miss Nobody," is the daugh ter of a California farmer, is wooed and won by an English title and dropped into London social life. The elite are surprised when Lady Row land, junior, says "ain't got no." This seems unreasonable to Miss Nobody, but justifiable to her husband. The result is a separation. Miss Nobody leaves for Paris, becomes a famous art ist. And of course they're reunited in the last act. Really good character work was doe last night by Marie Harcourt as the fat, flirty spinster. The cast is good, and the scenery above the average. Everything revolves about little Miss Bunting. Next week, which will prob ably close the Bunting engagement, she appears as Lord Fauntleroy. A. L.

The plaintiff company charges that the law is an undue and unjust burden on interstate commerce, that it deprives the plaintiff of its property without due process of law. that it is impracticable and unworkable in its provisions, that the fees exacted by the law are to be turned into the general revcnuo, fund of the state as a mere tax gathering measure and not to be expended for the work of inspection, that the law violates the free speech and free press provisions of the state and constitu tion; and for these reasons cannot be enforced.

O iiineTniiflBsis John Dayton, O., April 8. Every great crisis, they say, develops its hero some man who stands out above his fellows for the conspicuousness of his bravery or his devotion to duty in the hour of greatest need. The great flood which swept over Dayton last week developed its hero in the person of John Bell, telephone operator. For one entire week when- the ca lamity was at its height Bell slept on an average of three hours out of 24. His only food was stale bread and coffee made from flood water, innocent of a trace of sugar or milk. Bell was in charge of the only wire out of Dayton. He stood behind the switchboard in the flooded Central Un ion telephone building on Ludlow street, keeping Governor ,Cox in the state house at Columbus, as well as the rest of the outside world, in touch with the situation, directing the efforts of the linemen who were trying to rehab ilitate the telephone system; advising and helping the military men who ran for an injunction against the state offi cials charged with the enforcement of the censorship law. It is claimed that there are 500 picture show houses in Kansas and that the levying of a tax of $2 on each film displayed in the state will mean an aggregate cost to the film manufacturers and distributors of $360,000 in the first four months that the law is in operation. Should it re quire a considerable length of time to settle the present controversy as to the legality of the Kansas law, it is claim ed that without the protection of an injunction that the film makers and distributors would be compelled to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars into the state treasury of Kansas. The petition in places becomes elo quent and recites that the act is one of pure censorship. It declares, "con sorship in America died with the birth of the constitution of the United States." and again "under the provis ions of the constitution, censorship is entirely barred as obnoxious to a free people." Still further it is recited that the bill of rights forbids any law im pairing the freedom of speech. Fur- Belt to him with their problems; assisting the fire department in its efforts to find gasoline' engines and pumps witn which to pump out the flooded base ments; supervising, by his suggestions, the distribution of relief doing almost everything. Bell is not only a telephone oper ator, as the governor and public con cluded when he first established com munication with the state house and began to tell Cox how bad the flood really was. He's on the Central Un ion's payroll as "division plant man ager, stationed at Dayton." His promotion from lineman came but recently and until the flood panne he was somewhat of an unknown quantity, an experiment, so far as his superiors knew. The flood proved him a big executive. John H. Patterson's brain directed things at relief headquarters over at the National Cash Register plant, but John Bell was the boss downtown. Even Adjutant General Wood leaned on him. ther the petitioner urges that the act "condemns before trial, it condemns again before it has determined judg ment that the thing censored is an abuse of the right of free speech and free press. Motion pictures," the plea continues, "are an advancement of publication, printing, speaking and act ing; and the portrayal of nature, scenery and human conduct; they are instructive, educational and amusing." Delay in Kest-ainin"; Order. No restraining order in the case has ye' been allowed. This is due to the recent act of congress which forbids a temporal y injunction against a state's attorney gen eral on the grounds tlKit a state statute violates a national law: and in such in stances a restraining order can only be issued when evidence is presented before three judges who sign the order. Attorney General Dawson, who was to day served with a copy of the petition, will r-epare his answer in the case at once. Judge John c. Pollock, before whom the case was brought, has indicated i.iat as soon as possih.e he will call in K,'ler fdPral Judges to sit with him and bring the case to a speedy determi- In this case, only the decision of the court of last resort the supreme court of ine I nited States-will be depended on ror final judgment. Either the petitioners or the state of Kansas mav go direct to that court on appeal and that is where the case will finally end. according to statements made by representatives of both the state and the film distributors In the meantime the criminal cas- against Xathanson in the Shawnee county district court, will be allowed to sleep on the docket. CLASH AT CAPITAL. Department of Justice and Comptrol ler Disagree 011 Appropriation. Washington, April S. A sharp disagree ment between the department of justice and the comptroller of the treasury over the interpretation of an appropriation act and a clash of jurisdiction was re vealed today. Former Attorney General Wickersham told the interstate commerce commission that is could buy chairs and tables from whom it pleased, irrespective of the gen eral supply committee, created bv cr.r gress. as that committee was authorized to buy only perishable supplies, suc.i 11s stationery. Comptroller Tracewell said the general supply act had been con structed broadly as referring to anything used by the tw0 departments and that the attorney general's oppinion deprived the act of "its very life and soul." "I am unable to agree with the attorney general In his narrow and nonbeneficial construction of this law." he added. Secretary McAdoo stepped into the breach and Attorney General McReynolds withdrew the opinion of his predecessor on the ground that the question came solely within the province of the comp troller.

Democrat Trader May Decide to Se gregate Schedules. Washington, April S. How to steer the new tariff bills through congress is the question now confronting Demo crat administration leaders. Early today the Democrats met in caucus but immediately adjourned to await the message of President Wil son. After providing for working com mittees they will consider the tariff bill as introduced by the ways and means committee. The principal prob lem confronting the house leaders who are listening to members of the sen ate for the sake of harmony, is wheth er the bill should be reported in the house in its entirety or schedule by schedule. Democratic senators who oppose the sugar schedule with its provision for free sugar in three years objected to consideration of the tariff as one bill. There was a probability today that the house caucus might determine fin ally to segregate the sugar schedule, taking up all the other schedules ana the income tax as one bill. The im position of a "compensatory" duty on flour or the removal of all duty from wheat will be one of the changes re commended in the new revision bill by some senate Democrats, the plan of the Underwood bill, to put flour on the free list, while wheat retains a duty of ten cents per bushel has been attacked by senators of both parties.

Chicago, April 8. Of the ten mem bers of the family of Charles Baldwin, living on the West side, nine were found to have smallpox last night. Charles Hillyer, 81 years old, the fa ther of Mrs. Baldwin, was vaccinated more than seventy years ago and is the only one of the ten who has not contracted the disease. A corps of physicians was assigned by the health department to vaccinate all who had come in contact with the Baldwin family in the hope of preventing a spread of the disease. DOMESTIC SCIENCE NOTES. 03y Mrs. Alice Gitchell Kirk.) With all the helps abroad in the land there is no excuse for not properly balancing the meals with right combi nations of food. There is a "menu maker'' sold for a few cents to hang in the kitchen. Then if the cook or the mistress of the home decides upon meat or dessert the rest of the entire meal may be correctly planned from the menu maker. Only this week in an audience of more than two hundred women I said, "how many here, have three meals planned ahead and marketing done for the same? Only two raised their hands. No wonder women wear out! System is what is needed. They either carry the house around on their two shoulders from morning till night or they forget it entirely. There is a happy helpful medium. Let us take a pad and pencil and go to the refrigerator after break fast and make note of just what food is there in "left overs." Then decide where these may be used in any one of the next three meals, may be the outside stalks of celery are there which will make a fine cream of celery soup for luncheon. Or dinner. Now plan and w-rite out on a card, (which is kept in your card index back of menus), each of these menus and an another slip, write the necessary grocery order; at the same time see if any of the staples such as sugar, tea or coffee, rice, etc., must be replenished, and write these down also. If you know exactly what is wanted, once or twice or even three times a week this order can be tele phoned: at other times it is necessary to go to market to compare foods, and prices, know values and become skillful in marketing, besides it is a great ad vantage to have personal acquaintance with the "butcher the baker and the candlestick makers." Now with this done, prepare all these meals as far in advance as possible such as meats, desserts, etc.. so that your work can be all pigeon-holed as it were and then forget it and enjoy all the beau tiful pleasures which are bound to come to the woman who has learned to plan and systemize work in the home. Very little time then is needed in prepara tion of any one of these three meals at the last moment. And here we are. back again to this co-operati-e system of labor with some one to prepare the meal, and another to set the table neatly and attractively, it certainly must represent the happiest, healthiest family life posslhjo. Or if there is no one to assist with the work in the home, equipped with her working knowledge of cooking and housekeep ing, combined with system and the numerous labor saving devices, there is no reason why it should not be done with comfort and pleasure keeping con stantly in mind a home which stands for simplicity, excellence and economy. Robbed Landlady and Kinployer. After having robbed the till at the Pontchartrain confectionery store of about 1150. and having passed a check upon his landlady. Mrs. C. T. Harris, 1014 Van Buren street, for $18. a man who called himself Harry Young made good his escape from Topeka last night.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING- APRIL 8, 1913- 7 HIS FIRSTAGTION Mayor Cofran Will Fire Open ing Gun Tomorrow. To See That Contractors Keep the Streets Clean. NEW ELECTRIC More Equipment to Handle White Way Extension. Cofran Cannot Accept Work at Foundry. City Mayor R. L. Cofran's first official ac tion will be the enforcing of the law prohibiting contractors from leaving dirt In the streets to be cleaned at the city's expense. This ordinance, passed under the commission form of govern ment, never has been enforced. The condition of Eighth avenue between Kansas and Jackson was called to the mayor's attention. For contractors to haul dirt over the streets in loese wagon beds is quite customary In Topeka," Mr. Cofran de clared, "the dirt is scattered from one end of town to the other; it is cleaneJ tip at the city's expense. This shall not be permitted. There is an ordinance prohibiting it. but it has never been enforced. I do not wish to be arbi trary, but cannot permit the further violation of law." Two hundred letters awaited Mayor Cofran's perusal this mrning. There were scores of congratulatory epistles, and dozens of notes demanding posi tions or city office. The mayor spent most of the morning examining, an swering and sorting his mail. The commission spent today in mas tering the details of the routine work at city hall. No formal meeting was held The only officer to be sworn in was W. B. Bryant, a patrolman. Sev eral appointments will be presented for approval at the board meeting to morrow morning at nine o'clock. Com missioner Bone will present the name of Q. T. Mattingly, license collector, at that time. Xeeil New Light Machinery. Frank M. :ewland, commissioner of water and electric light, spent one day at the pumping station and last ei-onins- at the city lighting plant. He iar.inr.d the extension of the white way from First to Gordon streets can Tint he undertaken until the installa tion of the new machine, scheduled to rriv in ivfav. When Mr. Newland waa questioned as to the reduction of the water rates ana reruna 01 aepusn he responded he hoped for the former and intended to begin the investiga tion of the latter at once. Alberta Hale, appointed city treas urer, takes office April 15, when John Wright's term expires. K. E. Roude bush has received much commendation for his courteous withdrawal in favor of Miss Hale. Out of Town Foundry Work. One of the interesting points holding the attention of the board is the stat ute prohibiting any city officials doing private work for the city. The People s Ice company has had the city contract because ex-Mayor Billard is the owner of the Mutual. R. L. Cofran is presi dent of the Western Foundry and Ma chine works; this company has been of inestimable service both to the electric light plant and the water department. The commission law will necessitate the giving of the work to some out of town company, either in Kansas City or Leavenworth. J. B. Billard was at city hall on business today. "This ordinance is right in princi ple, -but wrong in practice." said he. "it presuppose that all city officials are what is commonly known as graft ers!" Mr. Billard is gathering up the reins of his private business, and declares he has forgotten all about politics. "I wonder if Bluff has plenty of hot air in his house?" "It never fails." "Why. you've never been in it." "I know, but I've heard Bluff talk." Baltimore Ameri can.

Led In the house by Victor Murdock. of Kansas, and in the senate by Senator Poindex ter, of Washington, the members of the Progressive party In congress are going to fight for the passage of all the measures advocated by the party in its Chicago platform. The new party's program is a for midable one and includes bills for a national inheritance and income tax, the creation of a non-partisan tariff commission, the initiative, referendum and recall, presidential preference pri maries, improvement of the Missis sippi river, merit system for postmas ters, marshals and internal revenue FACTORY AID PLAN. Expected to Be a Reality in a Few AVeeks. If .the plans of the promotion com mitteee of the Commercial club are carried out successfully in" the next few days the factory aid plan will be come a reality in the very near fu ture. Wednesday morning at 9:30 o'clock C. S. Elliott, chairman of the commit tee, and his assistants will start a cam paign for the purpose of increasing the fund from $125,000 to $200,000. When this is done, the members of the industrial bureau the subscribers in other words will be asked to pay over 5 per cent of the amount subscribed. This will bring in $10,000. Already applications for aid have been made by the managements of con cerns that desire to locate in Topeka. Naturally the majority of these firms are looking for "something for noth ing." but those interested in the new plan confidently expect to land some new factories for Topeka in the next year. A meeting of the committee was held today at the noon hour to work out the details in respect to the cam paign. ROME AS HOST. Will Receive American Commission Investigating Credit System. Rome, April 8. Extensive prepara tions are being made to receive the American Vommisaion, which is expect ed to reach here May 15, in connection with its investigation of the rural co operative credit system in European countries.

BAN ON PEEKABOOS. Vassar Faculty to Govern Attire Girls Allows "Movies." .f Poughkeepsie. N. Y., April 8. The ban against the "movies" was raised today by the Vassar faculty, to the great joy of the girl students, but gloom once more settled over the campus when it was announced that a strict embargo would be placed upon the wearing of airy, peekaboo frocks on the streets of the'eity. The faculty decided about a month ago that the regular attendance of a great number of the students at the moving picture shows of the city was impairing their scholastic attainments. It was therefore forbidden under pen alty of dismissal. The repeal of this order was received with great joy, which was, however somewhat lessen ed by the notice that hereafter only plain tailored suits might be worn in the streets. On the campus or at the theater, however, no dress restrictions will be applied. Vassar is not unique in this respect; many of the larger colleges have placed a ban uoon peekaboo effects in female attire. Representative Victui Mordock. collectors, registration of all lobbyists, an industrial commission to supervise interstate corporations, agricultural college extension, some easier method of changing the constitution, and numerous reforms, including prohibi tion of child labor and a minimum wage for women. House Progressives say. they will go even further than this and seek legis lation on conservation of national re sources, currency, good roads, exclusive homestead disposition of Alaskan lands, free use of the Panama canal by coast wise traffic, repeal of ihe Canadian reciprocity act and reform cf appropri ation methods.

Knighte of Columbus Donate $18,000 to Relief Work. Washington, April 8. The sum of $18,000 was appropriated for flood re lief work in the Ohio and Mississippi valleys by the national board of di rectors and supreme officers of the Knights of Columbus and an appeal goes out today to members of the or der all 'over the country to contribute a special fund for rescue work.

Gets 45 Cars Stone for the Jetties. A meeting of the North Topeka Civic club has been called for tonight at Fire Station No. 1 to discuss the pro posed location for the new federal building. Several locations have been offered, among them being the south east corner, of Laurent and Kansas avenue, the southwest corner of Gor don and Kansas avenue, the present site of the old Adams House, the Han ley property on Norris and Quincy, and the site of the oH Quincy school building. The business men of North Topeka are very much opposed to the site of the old Quincy school as that would take the postoffice out of the business section and Fred Voiland, pres ident of the Civic club, has requested that the school board should not sell to the government. A petition which has received many signatures, has been cir culated by Mrs. Mattis, who owns part of the property at the corner of Gordon and Kansas avenue, to have the new building placed there. The bids will be opened on the tenth of April at Wash ington and a decision is expected soon. Parent-Teachers Meeting.

Case implements. Pratt Bros. Adv. SULLIVAN PENITENT. But New Police Judge Misplaced His Mercy. The plan of the new police judge to deal leniently with first offenders was given a setback this morning when, two hours after he had been paroled, Jim Sullivan, a steeple jack 'of Fort Scott. Kan., was back at the station under the same charge, being drunk. Sullivan was picked up last night by the police and this morning pleaded guilty to a charge of drunkenness. "I haven't been arrested before in years, judge," ho tob4 Police Judge George A. Huron. "It was an accident, and it won't happen again." Judge Huron gave the prisoner a talking to, warning him to avoid com panions who, he said, tempted him to drink, and then imposed a fine of $5. Sullivan had a little money with him and the judge instructed him to payl $3 of the fine imposed and paroled him as to the balance. Sullivan said he1 had a job and wduld pay it as soon as ha got his money. "I am sure he will," commented the judge confidently. Two hours later a very much disheveled Sullivan was brought back to the police station. He was so drunk he hardly knew who he was, and his clothing was muddy and bedraggled. If he is sober enough he will be called upon to face the judge again this af ternoon. And he will be before a Dan iel come to judgment; BASEBALL VS.

He Places Walter Bryant Back on Force. The first patrolman to be let out is Kutus Fraser, colored,, who win oe asked to turn in his star tonight Chief Hughes announced this noon the appointment of Walter Bryant, a for mer officer, in his place Fraser test! fied a few days ago in a liquor case in the district court that he had not seen any drinking going on in a room next to one in which he was sitting in an alleged joint. Other witnesses swore that the door between Fraser and where several were drinking was open. "We can't afford to keep such a man .on the force, commented the new chief. Dan Carden 'and Otto Anderson, first sergeant and detective under the former -administration, are on a strike and so far have refused to turn in their badges. They expect to test the civil service law, declaring that they believe they cannot be removed except for cause. "I wish they would turn in their badges," said Chief Hughes. "I need them. The possession of the badges will cut no figure in their fight to test the law. And I am perfectly willing to concede that they are reporting for duty every day. "I am quite sure the mayor has power to remove any and all police officers, with or without cause. But if it should prove that he has not, he certainly has power to suspend them and keep them suspended, which will nave the same effect." There will be other changes, Hughes says, but he has not decided yet who will go out or who will come in. He expects to build his force up care fully, and is not thinking of letting out a lot of men without having men ready to fill their places. "Every booze fighter on the force will have to go," is the new chief's ultimatum. "We cannot afford to keep a man on the force who either is a drinker, who is a violator of law or who has been convicted of viola tions. That is final, and as fast as possible the booze fighters now in uniform will be weeded out." The new chief refuses to discuss fu ture changes in the force. It will be time enough to talk about them when the changes are made, he says. At present he is one of the busiest men in town, and is being followed by a number of wouldbe policemen who are anxious to get the places of the men now on the city payroll. JOKE WAS ON BRYANT. He Called Kiene to Scoff and Now He's In Jail to Pray. The officers think that "Forty" Bry ant tried to pull off a joke on them last night. But before they were through the joke was on Bryant. He called up first the sheriff and then the police to say that he was a broth er of "Forty'' Bryant, and gravely told the officers that "Forty" had a keg party at his home, 125 North Monroe street. Sheriff Kiene with -a couple of deputies and a couple of police offi cers went down through the rain and found Bryant, the sole occupant of his home, sitting in a half drunken stupor. Three bottles of beer were found and a sack of empty bottles. Bryant was the narrested for disturbing the peace, and was taken to the police station. Bryant has been out of town for some time, and in his absence his wife secured a divorce and possession of the Monroe street home. Bryant heard about it and came home, it is said, chased his ex-wife out of the house, broke into the building and then telephoned for the officers. HOTEL FOR GIRLS.
