Kansas City gave Colonel Theodore Roosevelt a renl western reception Jnday. From the moment his train oreezed into the union station until he arose in Con vention hail to fulfill his part as the city's Mei.-orial dav orator, the colonel'- time -was taken up by cere monies arranged in his honor. Before noon he had delivered two short ad dressesone to a. group of ch ldren who erected him in the lobby of his hotel ard The other from the hotel balcony to hundreds grouped in .the street. In both tilks the colonel con tinued to preach of preparedness and to w:rn his listeners to be ready to protect the country by arms, if nec essary. A great crowd greeted the former president in union station plaza. Police officers had to force their way through and once the chair man "f the reception committee. Ma jor William Warner, was separated from the guest of honor. Colonel Rrosevelt pushed ahead without his escort to the waiting motor car. One thousand Buy Scouts stood at attention i as the colonel's car rolled by. Waves Hat to I Joy Scouts. "Great, great," the former presi dent shouted, waving his hat at the youngsters. I One hundred motor cars were In line in the parade to Colonel Koose- velt's hotel. Before the former presi- dent's car marched 100 members of I the American Legation and Veterans of Foreign wars. Behind it came the naval militia and seventy-five ex-navy and army men. i As the guest of honor rode through the lane of holiday crowds he stood in his car, bowing repeatedly and talking incessantly to the people. When his car passed the yellow dec orated motor cars parked along the way bearing banners marked "Votes for Women" Colonel Koosevelt waved his hat and shouted: "Hurrah, Hur rah." Colonel Roosevelt received his first surprise upon his arrival at Hotel Muehlebach. As he mounted the steps to the lobby he was greeted by one hundred little girls ranging from four to ten years dressed in costumes re sembling draped flags. When the colonel came into view the children began to sing "America, I Love You." Mr. Roosevelt stopped, apparently much impressed by the reception. "1 would have been glad to have come all the way to Kansas City just for this reception," the colonel said to the children. Placing his hands upon the shoulders of Major Warner and Col. John B. Stone, a Confederate vet eran. Colonel Roosevelt said "I stand today by the side of a man who wore the blue in the civil war and a man who wore the gray. But now we're Americans and nothing else. "On the way to the hotel I have been greeted by veterans of the civil war and by my com-ades of the smaller war but it was the only war there was. The Spanish-American conflict was accompanied by some bloodshed. But we were fortunate for we had een preparing our navy lor six or eight years before it began. If we had not been prepared there wotld have been a war all right, but it would have been ten or twelve years longer before it ended. "So, on this day of all others. I wa.nt to appeal to the great west for pa triotism. I want to appeal to men I know will stand right if the appeal to help our country is made to them in (CoDtinued on Fage Two.)

"It is not righteous to fail to fight on behalf of assailed right eousness." s "Weakness invites contempt.' "Weakness combined with bluster invites both contempt and aggression."

EACH YEAR HONORS FEWER Ten Per Cent Unable to Partici pate in Last Salute. Eight Thousand Members of G. A. R. in Kansas. In twelve months the thin blue-grey line in Kansas has grown thinner. From the ranks of 15,000 veterans who wore the blue and the grey, nearly 1,500 have been taken away since the last salute and the decoration of the little green tents. Estimates by C. A. Meek, depart ment commander of Kansas, indicate that probably S00 men have been lost in the year from the ranks of 8.000 members of the G. A. R. In this state. There were approximately 15.000 old soldiers in the state on last Decora tion day. Estimating a loss among non-members similar to that among those in the G. A. R.. it is probable that 1,500, or ten per cent of the -otal number of veterans in the state, have passed to their reward during the year. 125 a Month. Under the estimates from the of fices of the department commander, it is probable that during the last year the death rate among old soldiers in Kansas has averaged 125 a month or a little more than four deaths a day. j No detailed figures are available, but from reports from Grand Army camps j and informations supplied from vari- i ous sources. It is believed that the I year's death loss has equalled ten per cent. "It is impossible to make an accu rate statement of the number of deaths during the year." said G. W Brassfield. assistant department com- i mander. "Our reports show the loss from camps of from 700 to 800 mem bers from a membership of 8,000.

MOSBY DEAD Famons Confederate Leader 111 for Long Time. Death Occurred on Memorial Day at Washington. Washington. May 30. Col. John S. Mosby, the most famous Confederate raider of the Civil war, died here to day after a long illness. He was a native of Virginia and was 82 years old. Colonel Mosby, the sponsor of "Moe bys Men" and one of the last of the dashing figures of the Civil war, was admired both by north and south although he had many enemies in both sections. He was the originator of the Mosby method of warfare; to use only picked men and to make each man seem a hundred. So dangerous was he to the north that he was declared an outlaw and denied the right of surrender at the end of the war. Cavalrymen searched for Mosby in the Virginia mountains until General Grant, appealed to by Moeby's wife, ordered the outlawry order cancelled Colonel Mosby started life peace ably enough at the Mosby plantation at Edgemont, Powhattan countv, Va., where he was born in 1833. He was graduated from the University of Vir ginia a full fledged lawyer at nine teen in 1852. Three years spent at his parents' home palled on him, and he started the practice of law in 1855 Soon thereafter he married Miss Paul ine Clarke, daughter of Judge Beverly tCoatlDDed' oo Pase"2.i" TOPEKANS, A CALL TO ARMS! Just a little confidential chat with Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer, Mr. and Mrs. Suburbanite, Mr. and Mrs. Jones-Pays-the-Freight Please don't get the idea that this auditorium bond proposition will saddle your tax roll and don't listen to these fellows who tell you that a new auditorium is of benefit only to the Kansas avenue merchants. Remember this one all im portant point all that helps Topeka, helps YOU. If Topeka grows, if conventions make Topeka their home, if Kansans come to this city you will receive due benefit. Every step forward on the part of Topeka increases the value of your property, cements your position, increases your employment opportunities. Let's not be selfish, citizens of Topeka. When you vote at the bond election tomorrow, remember that the tax for the new auditorium will "be only 10 cents on $1,000 valuation. If you are so fortunate as to own property in Topeka, it is your duty to aid in Topeka's growth, in her stand ing among the cities of the west and in her advancement and prosperity. Your property will gain by the effort. If you don't own property vote for the bonds as a matter of patriot ism and loyalty. Do your bit in standing' up for the city you call home. The State Journal wants you to know as a friend, as a reader, as a fellow Topekan, that a new auditorium is needed and needed badly. Honestly, Topekans, the entire matter is right up to us now. Let's go to bat like lively, progressive, boosting good fellows. Kansas is looking to see if the capital city really intends, to furnish a basis for her claim as the "convention city of the west.' A3 individuals, it will cost little from a financial standpoint. We will be well repaid in pride and patriotism. What's your answer? EH!

"Military Preparedness Against War" His Text for West. Colonel Roosevelt's speech at Kansas City in full on page 6 of the State Journal today. Kansas City. Mo., "May 30 "Mili tary preparedness against war" was today urged upon the nation by Colo nel Theodore Roosevelt. Pointing out that this nation was wealthy, weak and no longer isolated, the former president declared it possible that after the European war close some nation, coveting American riches or territory, would force a fight over the Monroe doctrine. To maintain peace he urged a navy, ranking second in the world, with a regular army of 250,000 men, these forces to be backed by the nation, pre. pared by universal training and serv ice. By adopting universal service. T. R. explained the nation would get a democratic army. "Such an army would be a people's army." he said, "and it would never be used except in a people's war. As an example of preparedness h held up Switzerland, stating that Switzerland was at peace now because she was prepared and only because she was prepared. "Preparedness in stead of being provocative of war and injustice, tells in favor of peace and justice for ourselves," he added. Denounces AdministratloiL. Industrial preparedness as well aa military was urged. Roosevelt denounced the adminis tration foreign policy, claiming failure to prepare for instant insistance on American rights when the European struggle broke out, had cost thousands of lives of noncombatants. He Insisted that the kind of neu trality which consista of tame accep tance of injury from all sides had ths effect of earning for this nation the contempt of all belligerents and brought it to the verge of trouble with them. Weakness Invites Contempt. "Weakness invites contempt, Roosevelt said. "Weakness combined with bluster invites both contempt and aggression." Characterizing the pacifists as "false prophets." the colonel warned against "both the prophets of sordid materialism, and the prophets of that silly sentimentalism which refuses to look truths in the face if the truths 8re unpleasant." The professional pacificist he classed as "merely the tool of the sensual materialist who has no ideals. whose, shrivelled soul is (Continued from Pase Two.)

By the time the nominating com 'mittee has made its report today and the delegates have had their chance to present any "dark horse" candidates they may have, the brisk campaign preceding the election tomorrow will be well under way. California, dissatisfied with present conditions and committees in the fed eration, has opened headquarters in "the Hotel Astor and without the aid of lists of delegates began a campaign for Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles of Los .Angeles.

I'm not in the least afraid of the patriotism of the Ameri can people. What I'm afraid of is that there may be a lack of preparedness in advance. If we are not prepared thousands of our men will go down to death and destitution when the crisis comes. I ask for preparedness not to bring on war but to properly protect our country if jt does come." From the balcony Colonel Roosevelt spoke to a crowd in aBltimore avenue. He devoted most of his speech to pre paredness. "I ask you to prepare our nation just the same as a baseball team pre pares for the league season. Every successful nine must have spring prac tice and the man that said a baseball team needed no practice would be fit for an asylum. I want you to do for the nation what any first rate team in a fifth rate league would do for itself." Colonel Roosevelt was a guest of the I club at a luncheon at noon. He wil speak in Convention hall at four o'clock this afternoon. 1,000 Boy Scouts In line. Kansas City, May 30. An address by Colonel Roosevelt was the principal event on Kansas City's program for the observance of Memorial day. The former president arrived from Chicago this morning. Plans of those in charge of the day's ceremonies call ed for a review by Colonel Roosevelt of one thousand boy scouts, mar shalled on Union station plaza, The line of march for the parade, through a section of the downtown district, was gay with hundreds of flags deco rating business buildings. A noonday lunch is to be tendered the guest of honor by the Commercial club. The American Legion, the Veterans of For eign wars and the naval militia, with reserves, made up of former navy and marine corpsmen took a prominent part. Five thousand seats in Convention hall are reserved for members of -the G. A. R. and the Confederate veterans that they -might hear the ex-president. Colonel Roosevelt will begin to speak at 4 o'clock. Weather Ideal. All that could be desired. Including fair weather, assure Colonel Roosevelt the heartiest welcome, and the biggest, ever given by Kansas City to a distin guished guest. The former president reached here at 8:45 o'clock this morning over the Santa Fe from Chicago. From the train shed he was escorted by a sub committee of ten from the reception committee and a squad of patrolmen to a motor car waiting outside the carriage entrance. Frcm the station he was driven to the Hotel Muehlebach, where he will be entertained at luncheon by the Commercial club. The mezzanine floor will be reserved for the 350 guests.

"And this park was given to the city by the Mayos!" he exclaimed. "And the Mayos gave this library to tHe city, and this church was built by the Mayos and the money for this school was contributed by the Mayos," informed his host as they sped about the city seeing the sights. "Well, that is wonderful!" said the farmer. "They certainly have made Rochester. Here comes a cat. I sup pose that belongs to the Mayos, too. Let's stop and ask it." "Say, kitty, who do you belong to asked the farmer of the cat. "Me-ow," replied the cat.

After training to be willing to die for the' nation, Roosevelt would have the citizen soldiers develop an inters nal policy that would make it worth while to live in. "A nation to survive must stand for the principles of social and industrial justice." A protective tariff, conservation of natural resources, and abolition of child labor were urged. Memorial Tay. Roosevelt pictured Memorial day as a day of mourning. "For forty years prior to the-Ovil war, our people re fused to face facts and soberly bend their energies to make war impossi :ble," he concluded. "Heroes shed their blood, and women walked all hour'-lives in the "shadow, because tnere has been such lack of foresight. such slothful,' 4azy optimism. Let the lesson thus taught sink into the minds of this feneration. Lt us not (rora laziness and lack of foresight create a situation where brave men shall die to make good our shortsightedness?. I ask that we prepare, not because I wish war, but because with all my heart I desire to keep war afar from us; and only by forethought and by preparation of soul and body can we keep it afar off. We are not fit uto be free men unless we show the forethought and will power necessary to insure that we ourselves shall have' the right to decide our own destinies, and not be forced helplessly to sub mit to have them decided by alien conquerors." i SUES GRANGE OFFICERS Mrs, Barton Wants 60,000, Alleges Conspiracy to Defame Her.

Strikes and lockouts throughout the United States recently have been unusually numer ous according to a statement today by the department of labor.. The last six months produced 1,069, and in April alone there were 268.? Most of the April strikes, says the statement, were due to the demand for labor to fill war orders. Decreases in immigration have brought about a labor shortage. "This demand for labor," it adds, "has been accompanied by demands of working people for increased wages, the rapid and increased grant ing of which during the last six months has resulted in new demands cf laboring men that many employers deem excessive and refuse to grant." The largest number of the strikes have been in the metal trades in many states. More than half were in New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Ohio. Metal trades strikes in April number 65; building trades 28; textile workers 37; seamen 17, and railroads 17. April strikes .according to advices to the department, affected about 300,000 workers.

BOOST FOR PIPE LINES Assessed Valuation Increased $5,677, 687 Over Year 1015. Kansas pipe line companies showed an increased valuation of $5,677,687 over 1915, according to returns by the state tax commission, which has an nounced the assessed valuation of six public atilities railroads, pipe line companies, street railways and inter urbans. telephone, telegraph and ex press companies at $439,740,002. The showing is an increase of seven and a half million over 1915 when the six utilities of the state returned valua tions of $432,075,865. The increase in the valuation of pipe line companies is due to the fact that in 1915 the companies took a ten mil lion dollar slump in valuation returns. The valuation of pipe Hne companies in Kansas at this time is listed at $25, 116,303, as against $19,438,616 in 1915 and $29,980,831 in 1914. Last year the pipe line companies went before the tax commission with a demand for a reduction in valuation returns and nearly ten million dollars was taken off the previous report. It .was be cause of the increase in the pipe line report that an increased showing in -utilities returns was possible.

MOSBY DEAD (Continued from page Id J. Clarke, who had served as member of congress and United States minister to Guatemala. When the Confederacy called for troops, Mosby enlisted with Gen. J. E. B. Stuart's First Virginia cavalry. In Stuart and Mosby, the regiment fur nished the south two of its famous of ficers. Stuart, then colonel, became cavalry leader for the south, and it was to him that Mosby outlined the plan he had conceived for Mosby's Men. In the winter of 1862-1863 the plan was completed and launched. Mosby, given a roving commission, cir cled to the rear of General Burnside. facing' that of Lee along the Rappa hannock river. His raid there was the first of many that took the heart out of the Union men, who felt the sting of his little band of wasp-like cavalry men. Caught and Exchanged. It was Mosby's plan to hit quick and hard always from behind, when he was cut off from all help, with hostile troops between him and his people. He was captured once and wounded several times. When he was captured he was taken to Washington. It was a matter of regret for the north that he was soon exchanged and sent back to his army. After the war and after Gen. Grants by his magnanimous order, had the order of outlawry against htm lift ed Mosby started to practice law in Warrenton, Va. He startled the south when in 1872 he voted for Grant a hated Republican for president. Vir ginians could not understand the mo tives of Colonel Mosby. Ostracized, he left Warrenton and went to Washing ton. He practiced law until he was made consul to Hongkong. On his re turn in 1885, he was put on the legal staff of the Southern Pacific in San Francisco. He resigned and took a place in the general land office, Inves tigating land frauds. Wrote War Text Book. In 1905 he entered the department of justice as special attorney. He was removed as "senile by Attorney General Wickersham in 1910.

But they had little success and closing sales stronger. There were several features, among them the sale of het.vy beef steeers at $10.50, fed at Tulia, Texas, in the Panhandle country. Odd head of natives brought $10.50. sales from $10.00 to $10.25 were numerous, and native steers seldom get below $9.

Butcher grades took on the full strength of the situation last week, and retained today, strictly prime cows up to $8.75, and mixed yearlings $10.00. A run of 25 cars arrived in the quarantine division, and sold quickly, at good prices, comparisioDS being difficult, account of small supply in that section recently. Straight grass steers from South Texas brought $.15, South Texas steers caked a little. $8.50. North Texas fed steers 58.85. Oklahoma common grassers $7. Stockers and feeders held steady with the close of last week, but again there is a feeling that a DreaK is imminent. fastures are rail as a rule, and the demand shows signa of decreasing. Most of the stock steers range from $7.50 to $8.50. choice thin steers of all weights up to $8.85. although packers pick up practically all the feeders. Hogs sold 5 to 10 cents lower today, re ceipts 17,000 head.

Good rnns all around this morning gave the situation over to buyers in a measure, but opinion is still divided as to whether or not we wtll get a very severe break with the usual June runs.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, MAY SO, 1916 V II

1 1 I it HUGHES MAY NOT LET HIS NAME GO TO CONVENTION Washington Hears He Will ot Consider Nomination. The Favorite Sons May. Unite on a Dark Horse. ROOT IS LOOMING UP STRONGER Would He Be Acceptable to Progressive Republicans! Roosevelt Is To Be Consulted in All Things Done. Washington, May. 30. In the house and senate the report was circulated Monday that Justice Hughes will is sue a letter to a friend in a few days forbidding the use of his name before the Chicago convention. The information, it was said, came from a quarter close to Justice Hughes and was in response to most urgent, representations that he Rive authority to his supporters for the Republican nomination for president to slate that if named by the Chicago convention he would accept. Opinion about the nomination is more chaotic in Republican circles at the capitol than it has been at any time. Uncertainty concerning Colonel Roosevelt's plans is assigned as the reason. "Stundpat" senators are -:n-denvoring to create the impression that tbe vace is between Justice Hushes and former Senator Root and that Colonel Roosevelt has no chance of winning the nomination. The "standpat" ticket that would be satisfactory to the "old guard'' was said to be: For president. Hughes or Root. For vice president. Burton or Fair banks. A Progrcssic Platform. All concede that the platform will be to Roosevelt's liking and that he would influence the selection of the standard bearer. Progressive Repub licans declare he will be able to con trol the nomination even if he does not secure it for himself. Hope has returned to the camps of the favorite sons in the view of some senators- It was declared today they could unite on a candidate and force his nomination. The "favorite sons." it was said, were for neither Hughes nor Roosevelt and prefer one of them selves but it is within the range of possibility that they may pass by Bur ton and Fairbanks, rated- as in the ascendency among "favorite sons" and go to Senator Borah, Idaho or some other dark horse. Colonel Roosevelt's advice will be asked on all important matters before the convention, it was stated. Nothing will be done or attempted to offend him, "standpat" senators declared, and it was said if the farmer president will accept this and support Mr. Root, as the Republican candidate, there would be no obstacle as to his coming back in 1920. Root's Stand. Mr. Root, they said, stands for pre cisely the same kind of "Americanism" that Colonel Roosevelt has advocated. He is for complete preparedness and has denounced the present adminis tration's Mexican policy. Mr. Root also would be acceptable to the Pro gressive Republicans, these senators said, on his legislative record. He was said to have participated in the fram ing of the federal employers liability act. to have supported workmen's com pensation measures and to have taken a progressive and constructive stand with the New York constitutional con vention. Progressive Republicans said, how ever. Mr. Root would not be acceptable to them because better men for the nomination were available. Senators and representatives are seculating as to what the Progressive party convention in Chicago will do. The consensus of opinion appears to be that if the Republican convention nominates a candidate other than but acceptable to Colonel Roosevelt, the Progressive convention will make no nomination but will keep its organ ization intact and mark time as a third party until 1920. Harding's Chance. The fundamental weakness of the opponents of Colonel Roosevelt was said to be the fact that they have no candidate upon whom they can unite. Some close observers of developments in the past two weeks said it was pos sible that if Senator Warren G. Hard ing, of Ohio, who will be temporary and possibly permanent chairman, makes a keynote speech that sweeps the convention and finds enthusiastic response throughout the country, the convention may turn to him for stand -dard bearer. Practical politicians are circulating stories calculated to- damage Justice Hughes's candidacy. One of these is that Job Hedges, prominent New York Republican, was an enthusiastic sup porter of Hughes for governor of New York and worked zealously for his election. After the election Mr. Hedges met Mr. Hughes and said he had nev er before asked for an office but de pired to be state insurance commis sioner. Mr. Hughes is reported to have answered "Hedges, you were too active in the campaign. I cannot appoint you." THE GRAVES IN MEXICO IJoys Who Fell in Recent Battles Re membered With Flowers.

Property worth between $800 and $900 was stolen from the home of Charles Wolff at 931 Fillmore sl-eet. about nine o'clock last night. Two wotches and two pairs of shoes were added to the list of missing articles today. The burglar secured a diamond stickpin worth $500. a shotgun worth $75. two gold watches, a camera tri pod and two pairs of shoes. Mr. and Mrs. Wolff reported the additional loss today. The Wolffs were not at home and the burglar is believed to have been frightened away before he completed his work by the return home of a neighbor in an automobile. None of the silverware was dis turbed and a large diamond ring be longing to Mrs. Wolff -was left. The camera, the tripod of which the bur glar took, was left. The burglar ap pears to have been in every room of the house. Clothes chests were opened here and there over the house but the Wolffs were unable to find any clothing missing today. The burglar made an entrance by cutting a- hole in a window screen large enough to admit his hand. He then unhooked the screen and climbed in. HE LEFTJjIS LOOT Burglar Was Frightened Away hy a Woman's Scream. Had Gathered Family Silver in a Tablecloth. A timely flash of lightning is all that saved the Fitzgibbons home at 501 Clay street, from burglary last night. The burglar had all the fam ily silverware and a box of cigars piled in the center of a tablecloth, when he accidentally brushed his hand over the face of Mrs. Fitzgibbons, awakening her, and then the flash of lightning disclosed the fact that the man was not her husband, and she screamed. The attempted burglary was re ported to the police today. Mr. Kitz gibbons had gone fishing and Mrs. Fitzgibbons had retired early. Ap parently the burglar thought there was no one at home. He opened a window and took out the screen, plac ing it inside the room. All that was discovered after the man had left. The man took his time about ran sacking the house. He found the sil verware in one place and the box of cigars in another and the tablecloth in still another. He spread the table cloth on the floor and piled the sil verware on it. Then he visited the bedroom occupied by Mrs. Fitzgib bons. She was asleep, and when he brushed her face with his hand she awakened but made no disturbance, believing her husband had returned unexpectedly from his fishing trip. Just then a flash of lightning filled the room with a glare and Mrs. Fitz gibbons caught a glimpse of he man. It was not her husband and she screamed. The man ran. He over looked the loot he had gathered to gether and went out either by the win dow, through which he entered, or by the front door. The door was un locked when Mrs. Fitzgibbons's broth er returned half an hour later. HIRE OUTSIDE FIRM Local Company Will Not Audit Edison-Railway Books. There will be no local company era ployed to audit the books of the To peka Edison and the street railway company for the city is the declaration of Commissioner Wasson. "I do not believe we should employ any firm that might have the slightest interest in the matter. What we want is a firm that will give both the city and the two companies a fair deal, for all we wish to know is the exact truth," said Wasson. "There is some talk of employing Burns and McDonnell of Kansas City to do tl.e work. Is there any truth in the report?" "I do not believe they should be employed for they do a great deal of work for the McKinley corporation but this is a matter that will be left to the entire commission," he said. That several firms are after the job was made known by Wasson when he stated he was in receipt of several let ters from firms that wished to make the audit for the city. On account of the complex system of accounting which both companies employ it will require the services of a firm that understands this line of ac counting and for this reason the city commissioners will be careful, it is stated, in making the selection of au ditors, in order that there may be no errors made in the work. It is stated that the work of audit ing the books will begin Just as soon as the firm which will make the audit for the city is agreed upon. It is possible that work will begin within the next ten days. G. A. R. LEADER DEAD Former Department Commander Passes Away on Memorial Iay. St. Louis. May 30. Thomas B.

The resolutions also ask the Repub licans and Progressives to unite upon a candidate. No endorsement was giv en to any of the numerous presiden tial candidates brought forward thus far. Today the conference will be formed into a permanent national council of German societies, empower ed to keep in touch with politics and take an active part in national cam paigns. The Resolutions. The resolutions adopted read: Firsts We demand a neutrality In strict accordance with the advice con tained in George Washington's address to the American people. Second We urge a foreign policy which protects American lives and American interests with equal firm ness and justice. Third We condemn every official act and policy that shows passionate attachment for one belligerent nation or inveterate antipathy for another. Fourth We deplore those utter ances, voiced by officials, ex-officials and others, designed to create or tend ing to create a division along racial lines among our people. Want United G. O. P. Fifth We hope that no party will nominate for the presidency a candi date whose views tend to establish such division. Sixth We trust that the Repub lican convention will unite all the ele ments in that party upon a candidate whose views are m harmony with those herein before expressed.

Eighth We assert that any candi date for the presidency who is not in accord with the views expressed herein before is unworthy of the support of a free and independent electorate. MAY KEEP KELLEY? Still a Chance for Topeka to Retain Club Secretary. The action of the board of directors of the Topeka Commercial Club, in selecting a successor to J. Will Kelly, secretary, should the latter leave To Deka and go to Wichita, will depend upon the desires expressed by the business men of Topeka. At least, that was the opinion expressed this morn ing by W,(Wvwet)0, president or tne club. Just two propositions face Topeka's business interests in selecting a new secretary. A good man from Topeka, no doubt a hustler, can be obtained, or Topeka can reach out and get an ex pert, a man who understands the Com mercial Club game from A to Z and has proven a success at it. in snort, Topeka can play big town or smali town in selecting a secretary. "However. I don't think there is anything definite yet regarding Mr. Kelley's leaving," said Mr. Webb. "Something tangible may be learned at a meeting of the board of directors to be held Thursday noon." Mr. Kelley had received no word to day relative to the success of a meeting at Wichita, held Monday evening, for the purpose of consolidating various commercial organizations in tnai city. Should the various organizations con solidate Mr. Kelley will take charge of the Commercial club work in Wich ita. He will leave Topeka early in June. An unconfirmed rumor reached Topeka this morning that considerable trouble had arisen over an attempt to consolidate Wichita clubs Monday evening. Mr. Kelley did not believe this rumor to be authentic. MAY PREVENT A STRIKE Federal Official Will Act as Mediator for Telegraph Operators. New .York. May 30.

The afternoon ses sion was cut short by the receipt of a message from Roland Maha.iey, United States commissioner of concili ation, announcing his departure from Washington for New York. The fed eral mediator asked that no action on the part of the proposed strike be taken until he could confer with the union officials here. S. J. Konenkamp, president of the union, announced no decisive action would be taken until after conferences with Mr. Mahaney could be held. The statement was made after a meeting of the general executive board. Ac tion on the alleged lockout of eleven operators in Boston, which promised to be a factor in the threatened strike, is expected at the afternoon session .today. The general demands of the work ers involved are for a 10 per cent in crease in pay and an 8-hour day. NO ODDS ON HUGHES Eight to Five Bets Offered Against Nomination of Roosevelt. New York, May 30.

FiTe Thousand Greeted Him Upon His Arrival. Chicago, May 30. A cheering crowd of 6,000 welcomed Colonel Roosevelt to Chicago Monday after noon. On the eve of the big convention the colonel rushed into the conven tion town enroute to Kansas City and for the time being swept into the discard all talk of any other presiden tial possibilities. He took the city by storm, carried the crowds with him wherever he went, heard repeated demands that he "come back" to which he doffed his hat and waved his hand and departed at 8:05 o'clock for Kansas City with the plaudits of another great crowd singing in his ears, and leaving the advance guard of Republican convention leaders in a profound study. Refused to Talk. During his stay of four hours the colonel abstained from talking poli tics in the restricted sense. He re fused, for instance, to make any com ment on Republican Chairman Hilles'a statement that the Republican plat form will satisfy the colonel and that there will be no third ticket. The colonel grinned while he listened to an abstract of Mr. Hilles's remarks and then refused to comment. Summarily, he declined to say any thing regarding the deliberations of the German-American alliance now in session here. Informed that the al liance was considering the adoption of resolutions denouncing him and Senator Root, he said: "Let's wait until they have adopted the resolutions." But the colonel, in interviews ad dressed to delegations which waited upon him and in general conversation had much to say on Americanism and preparedness and said it in his cus tomary fashion.

AHtnnm nnvment le reooeeted on these hort time subscriptions, to save bookkeep ing expenses. Topeka needs a much larger audi torium to maintain its place as the convention city of the several large organizations that prefer to meet here rather tnan in any other locality in Kansas. And such an auditorium will not only save these bis conventions for Topeka but it will also be certain to attract other large conventions here. This is the material aspect or the proposition that will be submitted to the voters of the city tomorrow. And this would be a sufficient reason for the bond issue to carry, even were there no other, because these conven tions are wonderfully profitable to Topeka In many ways- Eut there is another matter involved in this pro posed civic improvement, and it is one that is of really serious concern to the people of the city. The audi torium is the place where they gather themselves for all of their "big do ings.". On many occasions each year Topekans pack themselves into it io the extent of its capacity. It is used for many of the big festivals in which their children participate. And the present auditorium is as a tinder box. Only give it a little start and it would be a mass of roaring flames within a minute or two. Isn't it worth while for Topekans to have this structure rebuilt and made absolutely fireproof? Here is a stable door that It would be well for Topekans to lock in time, and they have an opportunity to do so at the bond election tomorrow. ?ome big doings, bigger than any thing that has occurred before, will have to happen in war-ridden Europe during the week beginning June 7 if it is to divert the attention of the peo ple of these United States from what will be transpiring at Chicago that week. This is also a probability. If every voter in Topeka who would not object to paying increased taxes at the rate of ten cents a year on each thousand dollars' valuation for the reconstruc tion of the auditorium would take the trouble to go to the polls tomorrow, the bond issue to provide for this es sential civic improvement would be certain to carry by an overwhelming majority. More important even than being in favor of the bond issue to rebuild and fireproof the auditorium is that you should make it a point to go to the. polls tomorrow and register your public spiritedness and civic pride with a ballot expressing your senti ments. I Another question before the voters 5 of the city tomorrow is the proposition to Issue bonds for the construction of ja new city prison. The amount asked jls not large, $22,500, and this brings the total of the bonds to be voted on I up to only 1100.000. Think of it, a new auditorium and a new city prison for that sum. And the city jail bonds .should carry by as big a majority as ittie auditorium bonds. .Even when To speka has the municipal farm for the proper handling of her petty crimi jnals, or misdemeanants, she will need la decent city jail for their temporary restrain. And a new city jail also j means adequate quarters for the po !lc force and the police court, some thing which is far from being in ex istence these days.

One might think that everything which Colonel Roosevelt might have to say on Americanism and industrial and military prearedness for the days of peace as well as those of war was embodied in the wonderful speech he delivered at Detroit a little while ago. But such, of course, is not the case. There appear to be no limits to the resourcefulness of Theodore Roosevelt. Instead of his speech at Kansas City this afternoon being a revised version of his Detroit address, a mere repeti tion of vhat he said so forcefully at the home of Mr. Ford, the leading pacifist of the country, it is practically a new declaration on the same subject. He uses his speech of today to am plify some of the matters he touched on at Detroit. He clinches some of the big arguments he then presented with new points, corroborative testimoney. as It were. He rivets down these arguments with such strength that they cannot be dislodged. They not only appear convincing. They are convincing. The slogan of Americanism that Roosevelt is sounding these days In such an emphatic fashion, and with such originality and force, has begun to reverberate through the great mass of the thinking people from one end of the country to the other. It has caught their fancy. It has fired their imagination as no other utterances or preachments of men in public life have done since the days of Lincoln; since the days of his debates with Douglas, and his subse quent pronouncements In the presi dential office. And there can be only one reason for this. The propaganda that Roosevelt is spreading before the minds of the peo ple today is sound, absolutely sound. It is based on reason and reason alone. The logic is as irrefutable as It is simple. This is what makes its appeal so compelling. This Is what is winning so many new adherents to it daily. Theodore Roosevelt is picturing to day the only course that these United States of America can follow from now on, if this great nation is to ful fill its destiny; if it is to maintain the place that belongs to it by right among the nations of the world; if it Is also to carve out a future for Its own people to which Its resources and their genius entitle them. Theodore Roosevelt has been a commanding figure in American life for many years; a commanding fig ure, in fact, in the whole world of men. But at no time in his remarkable career has he shone forth in such re fulgent greatness as he does today. The proportions of his patriotism are enormous. The service he is doing to his fellow citizens in placing before their eyes in such a clear and unmistakable manner the necessities of their nation is of immeasurable value. And that they appreciate it, is evi denced on all sides by the manner in which they are declaring for him fcr the presidency. The wave of public sentiment for Roosevelt for president that was of considerable size a month ago has now assumed tidal proportions and it is growing in volume hourly. Will the Republican national con vention fall to take advantage of its opportunities to nominate for the presidency the one man who is show ing by his speech of today that he is alive to the ills from which the body politic is suffering; the one man who has a cogent and coherent program to lead the American nation from the morass Into which, it has wallowed. and the one man whom not only the people of this country but the people of the entire world know as a man who acts as well as he talks? It is inconceivable that the Repub lican national convention will so fail in its duty not only to its party, but also to its country. BUSINESS SLOWING DOWN. "In various directions there are symptoms of slowing down In busi ness," writes Henry Clews, the New York banker, in his current weekly financial review. "The most signifi cant incentive to caution has been the late rise in commodities and wages, which has so Increased the cost of do ing business as to impose a widespread check upon new enterprise. In brief the rise seems to have been overdone for the time being at least, and re actionary tendencies are already at work. This Is noticeable even In the Iron trade, which, though holding or ders extending Into 1917, finds new demands less urgent and prices in some instances decidedly softer when com pared with conditions a month ago. New munitions orders are of course coming less freely, and high costs are impeding new construction work; while the railroads are confining their outlays to necessary replenishment. In no direction is there any marked development of new railroad construc tion; a fact which is somewhat re markable in view of the much im proved state of affairs in the railroad world. In the drug and chemical trade there is also a decided reaction. This large, but often forgotten, in dustry profited much by the war; the demand for explosives and medical supplies causing prices for many articles to soar several hundred per cent. Now that the reaction is on, precipitous declines have occurred, causing more or less unsettlement In the entire industry. In the dry goods and grocery trades there is also a slackening of demand, though no gen eral weakness of prices and no general unsettlement. In these lines of trade there is a spirit of confidence and values are- well maintained. Outside of war influences the crop sit uation is the most unsatisfactory feat ure. No serious damage is reported in any section, but the spring has been cold and wet, consequently most of the cereal crops are backward and less promising than a year ago. On the other hand all fruit crops are far above the average in condition; peaches, which promise a poor yield, being the only exception. Cotton Is about two weeks backward, but con dition is good and acreage, according to the National Ginners' association estimate, is nearly 13 per cent larger than a year ago. A few warm days will compensate, for all present drawbacks. Bank clearings, though still running over 40 per cent ahead of last year, are not showing such big gains as in the first three or four months of the current year. Railroad earnings show excellent results; gross results re ported in April thus far being more than 20 per cent ahead of last year. April net returns are also very satis factory if the latest reports of Union Pacific and Atchison are any criterion. Traffic on some of the western lines has been remarkably heavy, which doubtless will be a factor favorable to an easier adjustment of the railroad labor problem The net earnings of American railroads for the nine months ended March 31 were $899, 000,000, compared with $650,000,000 the same time last year, an increase of nearly $250,000,000. Prosperity such as this, if sustained, should mean not only better wages to railroad labor but better returns to stockholders. The noticeable public hostility to railroads is also disappearing: and these favor able developments would undoubtedly have been reflected in a more general advance in the stock market had it not been for the pressure of foreign hold ings of American stocks. The proposal of the British government for an addi tional tax of 10 per cent upon Ameri can stocks will stimulate foreign sales and tend to weaken this market." Journal Entries The longest way round is also often the most expensive way there. When a man depends upon that chimerical thing called "luck" for success he isn't likely to achieve it- If wishes were horses and beggars could ride they probably wouldn't be satisfied unless they had automo biles. Why is it that some women get so much satisfaction out of the thought that all troubles in the world are heaped on their shoulders? Jayhawker Jots As H. of the Hutchinson Reforma tory Herald denes it: Character is what you are; reputation is what peo ple think you are. Still the talk of getting np an hour earlier in the morning is all right, says Joe Howe in the Dickinson County News, only most of the fellows who advocate it most vigorously won't have to. In fact a great many of them need not get up at all. Told by the Pratt Union: Some young girls in an auto one day re cently saw two young men walking along the sidewalk and they drew up near the walk and said: "Are you fellows tired of walking?" The men at once thought the girls were a little "fresh" and that they had struck a snap, when to their surprise the girls said, "Well, then, run awlhle," and drove on, remembering Lot's wife. Hoboes are pretty smart guys, all right. The Clay Center Times reports: Hardly ever do any tramps come around to the back doors of Clay Cen ter now except on Sunday. Other days they know they will be sent to the city marshal who will give them work on the rock- pile to earn something to eat. But on Sunday they can't be sent to the rock pile to earn a meal, so they come around begging on that day. It is a testimonial to the value of the rock pile. Observations by Oley Weaver in his Sedgwick Pantagraph: Crabs' and misers hate to shell out. A false friend is worse than a fair foe. It's easier to make a tool of a dull man than of a sharp one. We are too altruistic over duties and ego tistic over rewards, The efforts of some people to look pleasant are positively painful. Somehow, our relatives that we are proudest of never seem proud of us. If a man owned the earth he would try to dodge the tax collector just the same. Globe Sights BY THE ATCHISON QLOBB. It isn't good for one to have his way all the time. Don't try to make everybody love you; it simply can't be done. A good extemporaneous speaker is one who doesn't speak very long. A man sometimes loses track of his relatives, but not if he is a married man. The average person gets into trou ble as naturally as a duck takes to water. It Is difficult to take a last year's straw hat and make it look Jike any thing else. Mother's most persistent critic us ually is some old hen who never was a mother. A suspicious disposition and a fond ness for talking is the combination which makes a gossip. Some wives take more out of a house with a spoon than her husband can bring in with a shovel. Perhaps the meanest man is the one who wants his wife to do the econ omizing for the whole family. When a man loses his money, his sky has a silver lining if his wife can cook good enough to suit boarders. The man who drinks because he is cold in winter, is apt to take a little something because he. is hot In sum mer. The man who combs lone; hairs over his hald spot may be kidding him self, but he isn't fooling the general public a great deal. On the Spur 1 of the Moment BT ROY K. MOtSLTON. 'Twaa Ever Thna.

The following report of a society event is given by the White Pigeon News: It developed before the close of the evening that coinctdentally It was also the birthday anniversary of Mr. Lam bert, whereupon the male portion of the company undertook to put the host under the bed. They had forgot ten, however, to take into account the fact that Mr. Lambert has for several years been a successful instructor In the use of "the three Rs" and the wielder of the hazel. As a result the young man did not go under the bed, but, to the contrary, when the skirmish had ended and the smoke of battle cleared away, It was found he had come off none the worse of wear, while some of the others complained of bruises galore. Some Railroad. A traveling man the other day told what he alleged to be his experience on a small railroad. He said he had "made" the towns on the road many times, and the usual snail-like pace of the train was on this trip exceeded for slowness. In a seat near the com mercial traveler was an old lady, who was evidently a stranger to the road and was on the train when Friend Travelingman got on. She was nerv ous and fidgety, and every time the conductor or brakeman passed her seat she would ask, "Ain't we ever go ing to get to F Finally the con ductor said in an injured tone.

A young friend of mine had bought some very dainty dress goods at a great bargain. She was showing them to a group of us and the practical one promptly made the above comment. After the practical one had gone out of the room, the girl with the bar gain said, "Did you ever see anything like the way she always takes the wind out of your sails? I suppose I ought to have thought about its fading, but I don't care! I'm thankful I'm not thinking of that sort of thing all the time. That's the way she always is old pessimist!" Did you ever hear the definition of a pessimist. It is "a person who has to live with an optimist." I thought of it when I listened to that little passage between the two girls. The optimist congratulates herself on not taking Into account the disad vantages that are likely to result from following a certain course. One can well see that a steady diet of such illogical optimism might be difficult to stand. There are two kinds of optimism, the optimism that puts Its wishbone where its backbone ought to be,- and the optimism that supplements back bone with wishbone. In other words, there is the optim ism which makes Its decisions on a basis of unreasoning hopefulness. It hopes things will come out all right and does not prepare for any other outcome. It buys the goods because they are pretty and cheap without considering the question of durability. It takes foolish risks because it doesn't realize that they are risks. I once knew a man who insisted on taking a boatload of people into the open ocean in a small boat. He was warned that It was dangerouSr--but he scouted the warnings and called the man who gave them a pessimist. When the warnings were more than Justified, the optimist at once became the most hopeless and helpless pessimist on board. On the other hand, there is the wise optimism that weighs knd bal ances both the agreeable and disagree able possibilities in making its deci sions, but having once made them re fuses to worry and persistently hopes for the best. "To be fortified against any out come but to expect the happiest" that is the motto of a friend of mine. Do you think the person who has to live with such an optimist has any reason for pessimism, or for anything but thankfulness? I don't! (Protected by the Adams Newspaper Service.)

Margaret Wolfendale could scarcely believe her eyes when she opened the paper and beheld a splendid likeness of herself heading an advertisement for Nervolo. There wasn't a doubt of it. It was an exact reproduction of a photograph she had had taken a year ago before her trip to California, and there it was staring at her above half inch letters which announced boldly, "I am a dif ferent woman." "For goodness sake!" gasped Mar garet. "For goodness sake!" And she ran her eyes hurriedly through the ad that announced that some fel low mortal had ceased to have all kinds of aches, pains, dizziness and in somnia since taking Nervolo. But, to her intense relief, the name and ad dress given below were strange to her. There was no further clew to her iden tity, at least to the world at large, than the very good picture of herself. But her friends! They would recog nize it instantly, and she shuddered to think of all they would have to say. She would be the butt of all their jokes for months to come. She looked for the address of Ner volo. It was not given. "For sale by all druggists" was the modest state ment. So she called up a certain pharmacy and learned that although the birthplace of the nostrum was New York City, there was a certain whole sale agency In town that might know something about it and its advertising methods. So, supported by the Indignation of the family and armed with the evi dence of Nervolo's iniquity, Margaret went forth to find the culprits and deal out what punishment she thought fit. One could scarcely blame those responsible for the sale of the new patent medicine for wishing to pub lish the photograph of the prettiest girl in town, and Margaret's was the kind of attractiveness that compelled people, no matter how well bred, to "turn round for another look." The best of It was that she was entirely unconscious of attracting any atten tion. The wholesale house once located, it was explained to Margaret that Ner volo was shipped from New York, but that the advertising was a thing sepa rate and apart from the handling. The salesman, in turn, directed her to a certain advertising agency on the fif teenth floor of a nearby skyscraper, which, he thought, could propably solve the riddle. Margaret, who needed only a fresh glance at the newspaper clipping to rekindle any waning flame of indig nation, found an office door which bore on its ground glass upper half the words, "The Orion Advertising company, G. W. Stephenson, Mana ger." The outer office, done tastefully In willow and cretonne, contained a small office boy, who admitted Mr. Stephen son was in, and upon inquiry returned with the news that he would see her. Margaret fortified herself with an other "peek" at herself done in ink, and the resultant flash in her eyes, flush in her cheeks and compression of her lips boded ill for some one, pre sumably Mr. G. W. Stephenson, man ager. The man behind the big mahogany desk rose politely as she entered. "Good morning. Won't you sit down?" he began pleasantly, indicat ing a chair In close proximity to the desk, and when Margaret was seated he resumed his chair. "I am entirely at your service," he went on. "What can I do for you, miss. The boy didn't give me your name." Margaret referred to the clipping. "According to this, I am Miss Mary Mullin, of 4322 Douglas street," she said, with the most caustic manner she could assume. "If it's in print it must be true," he smiled. "Must it? Well, It isn't. And I think you know It isn't. But since you prefer not to understand I'll explain the situation," which she did in a few words. But the young man seemed to be more interested in the curve of her cheek, the bend of her head, and the way her hair was done, low on her neck, than he was in her words. "And," she proceeded indignantly, "I want it understood that if this pic ture of mine appears in any paper after today father's lawyers will make it unpleasant for the Nervolo com pany. I don't know how far it in volves you, since you only do their advertising, but it's up to you to stop it anyway." "I'm really very sorry about the en tire affair, miss. You see, you haven't told me your name yet." "It isn't necessary," said Margaret, severely, "to tell you who I am. But I am not Miss Mary Mullin. Good morning." When the door had closed on his fair visitor, George Stephenson reached for the telephone and called for a number. "Is that you. Bob? You re member the photograph of a girl you had stuck up on your mantel, the one you said you didn't know and gave to me because I well, because I liked it? Well. I've tried to locate her ever since and failed, and then I struck on a bright idea of running a fictitious ad with her picture. I thought that would bring some sign of life, and it sure did. Bob. she's Just been here, raging mad. but she's glorious. You ought to see her. She's a wonder! 1 couldn't find out her name. She wouldn't tell it. All I know is that her dad is somebody, for she men tioned his lawyers and what they would do to me. Give a fellow some advice, won't you? Since I've seen her I'm wild. I know I'm a gump to let her get away, but I was hypno tized and couldn't think of a thing. I wish you'd try to think where you got that photograph. Strange you'd for get! What's that? You'll try to help? You're a brick. Bob No. I can't to night, thanks. Tomorrow night! All right. Goodbye." At seven the next evening, George j CONVENTION I I Mnirir-r ,,f.-r-fra i,, M, m maiiiianiiisMmiiininiii aimn presented himself at Bob's front door and asked for his host. He was ush ered into the living room and asked to wait. He knew the family well and proceeded to wind up the Victrola and put on his favorite tunes. Presently McCormack was singing "Believe Me if All Those Endearing Young Charms," and George was humming the air. He was thinking of the girl Bob was to help him to find, the girl he had produced, but not identified. McCormack sang: "Thou wouldst still be adored as this moment thou art. Let thy loveliness fade as it will, And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart Will entwine itself verdantly still." And George whispered softly, "Amen." There was a sound, soft, almost In articulate, and he turned. In the doorway. In an exquisite frock of filmy white net, stood the girl of whom he was dreaming) the girl with no identity, the one Bob had promised to help find. He had done amazingly well! George advanced a step and stopped, remembering sud denly how low he stood In the young lady's estimation. Margaret, in turn, we.s quite as per ceptibly stunned. "So this is Bob's friend!" she realized. "It's odd how things come out." And she reddened at the thought of her conduct of the day before. She held out her hand. "My broth er won't be down for a minute. He told me to see that you weren't bored," she said. "Your brother?" "Yes, my brother Bob." "I don't understand. I've been hefe often in the last year and "Oh, I've been in California until a week ago. Sit down, won't you, and we will talk it over." "But Bob said he didn't know you when I took your picture!" "His idea of a joke, I suppose! But Is that how you got my picture? And why, please, did you use it the way you did?" "Because," he hesitated. "Because I was desperate to discover your iden tity. I fell in love with your likeness and the advertisement was only a ruse to find out who you were." "So you two have got together at last," exclaimed Bob, blowing in just then. "Thank heaven, there's one job off my hands." (Copyright, 1916, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) QUAKER MEDITATIONS.

Spinach (broom of the stomach) In cooking spinach never put water in the pot. Wash the vegetable thor oughly and put over a low fire.

Less salt should be TOMMY EXPLO Soon after breakfast on the morn ing after Tommy Tittle-mouse and his little mate had been so frightened by the house cat while they were digging into Mully Mole's tunnel, Tommy Faid to Mrs. Tommy, "The house cat never comes out into the yard in the early morning; let's finish that digging while we have a good chance. Only, this time, we'll take no such risk as we took yesterday. We will take turns at digging and watching. First I will dig and you watch, and then you may dig and I will keep guard. In that way we will be able to work without worrying about danger." Mrs. Tommy thought that a fine plan, so she settled herself at the end of their log and watched and listened faithfully whiie Tommy dug at the grassy ridges left by Muily Mole. Before she had had time to row tired of her Job, Tommy crept back to her- "I don't think you will need to dig at all," he said, happily. "It was easy work this morning. I have broken through the covering and I find that it is all just as you guessed. Those are not hills; they are tunnels. Just as you said. Come quickly! Let's run and explore. I will go ahead and vou follow me." "Not so fast. Tommy, not so fast!" said Mrs. Tommy, with a wise little shake of her head. "Remember the trouble we had yesterday and what a narrow escape that was. You go and explore and I will watch here by the hole and warn you of any danger." Much as Tommy wanted his little mate's company, he had to admit that hers was the best plan. "Very well." said he. "that's what we'll do. And as soon as I find some thing good or interesting. I'll come back and let you know about it." So Mrs. Tommy sood guard at the entrance Tommy had made Into the tunnel, and Tommy disappeared into the dark hole. Such a long time was he gone that Mrs. Tommy began to be afraid. Time seems twice as long when one is wait put in when boiled in this way. Spinach is particularly valuable for women all run down. It is rich in iron. To eat the vegetable once or twice a day means taking iron in a natural way instead of in the form of a drug. Strawberry Fluff One box straw berries, two egg whites, one and one quarter cups sugar, few grains salt, three tablespoons cornstarch. Hull berries, crush and combine with one cup of sugar; let stand at least an hour. Then strain off one and one half cupfuln of juice and bring to boil ing point. Meantime, mix together the cornstarch, sugar and salt, add a little of the hot Juice, combine the two 'mix tures and let boil till a thick paste is formed. It should cook at least fifteen minutes. Bat egg whites and flour in cornstarch mixture, beating constant ly. Turn -into a mold wet with cold water and let stiffen. Serve with the crushed fruit at the base. Orange Granite To the juice and pulp of six oranges (free from all skin and membrane) add the Juice of one lemon, one cup sugar and a pint of water. Freeze as sherbet and serve after or with the meat course. Sponge Cake Lemon Pie One cup sugar, one tablespoon flour; stir to gether; juice and grated rind of one lemon, yolks of two eggs, one cup milk. Stir the whites (beaten stiff) In lightly. Place in an uncooked crust and bake slowly three-fourths hour. The upper half will be like sponge cake, the remainder like lemon pie.

To do this get about two ounces of plain powdered neroxin from any drug store sprinkle a little on a hot, wet sponge rub over the blackheads briskly wash the parts and you will be surprised how the blackheads have disappeared. Big blackheads, little blackheads, no matter where they are, simply dissolve and disappear, leaving the parts without any mark whatever. Blackheads are simply a mixture of dust and dirt and secretions from the body that form in the pores of the skin. Pinching and squeezing only cause irritation, make large pores, and do not get the blackheads out after they become hard. The powdered ner oxin and the water simply dissolve the blackheads so they wash right out, leaving the pores free and clean and in their natural condition.

IS MAKING SOME HEADWAY Fashes the Enemy Southward by Powerful Assault. Austrian Army Continues Press Back the Italians. to London May 30. The crown prince has resumed the drive against the northwestern defenses of Verdun with violent assaults against the French center and right wing. The heaviest blows are being struck against Hill 304 and in the Cumieres woods. From their trenches on the northern elopes of Hill 304, the Germans are seeking to drive the French from the whole crescent shaped height by terrific artillery fire from the northern ridges of Deadman Hill and frontal infantry attacks. In Cumieres wood, where the Ger mans captured 300 yards of trenches by a terrific attack yesterday after noon, the crown prince is striking southward against the Cumieres-Esnes highway. His object is to squeeze the French out of the region between Deadman Hill and the Meuse, forcing them to fall back upon Charnay ridge. Pressed back upon the Charnay posi tions, the French would be forced to give battle in a great struggle that would decide the fate of Verdun. French Pushed Back. Paris, May 30. French troops were driven south of the Bethincourt -Cumieres highway in a most powerful as sault delivered by the Germans last night on the front between Deadman Hill and Cumieres, the war office ad mitted today.

Clouds gathering in the north and northwest sky early in the evening foreshadowed a storm and just about 9 the rain "began to fall in torrents, and hailstones, some as large as walnuts fell for more than 15 min utes. Reports from farmers all over the county indicate that in some parts from 25 to 75 per cent of the wheat was injured. Passengers coming in from the west report hail as far west as Tribune, near the Colorado line, and La Crosse, McCracken, Otis, Bison and other towns all report damage by the storm. The storm path in some places was about 20 miles wide and covered a total distance in length of about 200 miles. Much of the wheat, farmers report, was beaten down by the force of the hail, as well as corn and other crops. Many of the farmers carried insur ance on their wheat, while others who did not carry any did not take the trouble to investigate the damage, saying all was lost. Windows Were Smashed. r The local damage was considerable, the New Presbyterian church me morial windows were badly damaged, as also the Congregational church.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING. MAY 30, 1916 Colonel Roosevelt's Message to the Middle West Delivered at Convention Hall, Kansas City, Today Memorial day address of Theodore Roosevelt at Kansas City, Mo., May 30. 1916. I- come to Kansas City, here in the great west, to speak on Memorial day to the farmers and merchants and wage workers and manufacturers who dwell west of the Mississippi. What 1 have to say to you is exactly what I should say to your fellows who dwell on the Atlantic coast, or the Pa cific slope, or beside the Greta Lakes, or on the shores of the Gulf of Mex ico. My message is a message to all Americans. My appeal is to the spirit of thoroughgoing Americanism in all our people in whatever portion of the land they dwell. In thanking all the organizations business, political and social whose invitation 1 have ac cepted, including my comrades of the Spanish war. I know that none of you will object to my putting first the Gr4nd Army of the Republic and the Confederate Veterans. I come here to apeak on behalf of the spirit which, in .the early sixties, burned in the hearts of the men who wore the blue an of the men who wore the gray. In what I have to say I shall appeal with equal emphasis to the soul qual ities of the men who followed Grant ant of the men who followed Lee: of all .who, in the great crisis, proved their truth by their endeavor and showed themselves willing to sacrifice everything for the right, as God gave them to see the right. But I make no appeal to the spirit of the peace-at-any-price men of '61 ot '65. I ask that we in this generation prove our selves the spiritual heirs both of the men who wore the blue and of the men who wore the gray. But I make no appeal to the memory of the cop perhead pacifists who put peace above duty, who put love of ease and love of -money-getting before devotion to country, and whose convictions were too weak to stir to action their tepid souls. Year of Decision. This is one of the great years of de cision in our national history. The way in which we- now -decide will largely determine whether we are to go forward in righteousness and pow er or backward in degradation and weakness. We are face to face with elemental facts of right and wrong, of forte or feebleness. According to the spirit in which we face these facts and govern our actions, we shall deter mine whether in the future we shall enjoy a growing national life or suf fer 'a lingering national decay. ijirst and foremost, friends.

Lie to Milliennium Talk. Two years ago any number of per sons were assuring us that the day of great wars had passed: that it M impossible that there ever should be great wars again: that preparedness brought on war; that we did not need to take any steps in our own defense; that the capitalists of the world, be cause high finance had become inter nationalized, would never permit a great war: that the opinion of the civilized world was enough to stop all international outrages. This was only two years ago. During these two years we have seen the most destruc tive war in all history waged on a wider scale than ever in history be fore. Never before has there been suoh slaughter as has been compress ed into the last twenty-two montns: and. alas that it should be written, the brutality, the ruthlespness. the disre gard for international law, and the callous and calculated atrocities com mitted on non-combatants, ineluding .women and children, have been such "as the civilized world has not even ap proached during the past century. Two year? ago the false prophets who said that there never would be another war were applauded by all out people who were wholly absorbed in Jmoney-getting; by all who cared cared only for lives of soft-ease and vapid pleasure: by all who liked to satisfy- their emotions cheaply and safely by applauding high sounding phrases: and by the great mass of well meaning men who had not thought out the matter with conscientious thqroughness. I Beware of Hake Prophets. Let us not be misled again. Un doubtedly as soon as this war ends all the well-meaning, short-sighted per sons, who two years ago said there never would be a war again, and who have been obliged to be silent on this particular point during the past two years, will once more begin their shrill pipings that the last war has occurred. Once more they will demand or an nobnre the invention of some patent device by which strong and ruthless ana cunning men will be held in place by-timid men without any prepared nes. without any display of courage or .acceptance of endurance, risk, la bor and hardship. When this war is over it is possible that some one of the combatants, be in 9 fully armed, will assail us because we offer ourselves as a rich and help less prize. On the other hand it is also possible that there will be tem porary exhaustion among the com batants, and a willingness, even on the part of the most brutal and ruthless. to go through the form of saying thit thev are peaceful and harmless. In such event there will be real danger OIIensf., L x t lmPum,Y- e lest our people be Influenced bv the committed by belligerents either on foolish apostles of unpreparedness to neura,f, or """-combatants. When aceept this condition as permanent, 1'c!in'?a to take any action under and once more to fchirk our duty of tnr'e conventions and treaties we our getting readv selves treated them as "scraps of pa- per." Such being the case, while our We Must Prepare. I guilt is not as great as that of the I v i"ih to say. with all the empnasis in my power, that if peace in Europe should come tomorrow, it ought not, in -the smallest degree to affect our policy of preparedness. As a matter (if tr we probably cannot now pre- p? re in any way that will have a ma terial effect upon the present war. Our folly has been such that it is now too late for us to do this. All we can now do is to prepare so that the war shall leave no aftermath of horror and disaster for our nation. If we fail so to prepare then assuredly some day we or our children will have bitter erase to rue our folly, and to remember too late the words of old Sir Thomas Browne: "For since we cannot be wise by teachings there is an unhappy necessity that we must smart in our own skins." Result of I'nprcparedness. T wish especially to call the atten tion of all people who may be mo mentarily misled by the statements of the peace-at-any-price men. the pro fessional pacifists of today, to the ac tual results of our policy of unpre paredr.ess. Twenty-two months have gone by since this war began. Nearly five years have gone by since the revo lution in Mexico loosed on Americans in Mexico, and on Americans on our own side of the border, the forces of murder and misrule. Yet. during these five years we have taken no efficient steps to control the situation in Mexico, and during these twenty-two months, since the world has been in such a cataclysm of fear and blood as never before in its his tory, we of this republic with literally astounding folly, with a folly criminal from the national standpoint, have re fused in any way to prepare. The pro fessional pacifists said, and even now say, that such preparedness would have invited trouble with Mexico and trouble with Germany and perhaps with other world powers. Look at the facts! We kept ourselves helpless to do justice to or for Mexico; we refused to make ready in any way to protect our citizens in Mexico, or even on our own side of the Mexican border. We submitted tamely to the murder of our men and the rape of our women. We bore with spiritless submission out rages upon outrages, until the number of our citizens killed mounted into the hundreds. Yet. so far from securing the good-will of the Mexicans, this policy of unpreparedness and of tame submission to insult and injury, merely aroused both their anger and con tempt to such a degree that we are now engaged in a harassing little war along the border. Forces Drained o. We have not the forces to make that war effective. We have actually drained the Coast Artillery from the seaboard defense, to serve as infantry down on the Mexican border- This nation of one hundred million people with a territory as large as all Europe and more wealth than any other na tion in the world possesses, has to strip its seacoast forts of their de fenders and put these defenders at work which they are not trained to do. Even thus we are wholly unable to make good our complete lack of pre paredness. If at the outset, if three years ago, we had resolutely and with foresight prepared to act, and then, if neces sary, acted, in Mexico, that country would today be as peaceful and pros perous as Cuba where we actually did take the very action 1 advocate for Mexico. If, the instant that the great war broke out in July, 1914, our fleet had been mobilized, a competent man put at the head of the Navy De partment, our army put into proper nun. i v. l. i 1" sentatives at Washington, both Execu trim, and steps taken by our repre- tive and Legislative, to show that we were making ready to meet any ex igency that arose, there would have been no trouble of any kind with any belligerent. Of course, when we sub mitted to wrongdoing from one side, we invited a repetition of that wrong doing by that side, and the infliction of similar wrongs by the other side. The thousands of non-combatants, men, women and children, including many hundreds of American men, women and children, who have been killed on the high seas, owe the loss of their lives primarily to the supine inaction of this nation; to our failure to prepare, and our failure in instant insistence on our own rights and on those rights of others which we had guaranteed to protect. Held in Contempt. The professional pacifists insisted that such lack of preparedness on our part, and the observance by us of that kind of neutrality which consists in tame acceptance1 of injury from all sides, would make us popular with all the combatants and insue our well being. On the contrary, the only af fact has been to earn for us the con temptuous dislike of all the warring nations and to bring us to the verge of irounie witn tnem. ir we had pre pared we would have saved thousands of lives and we would have guaranteed our own peace. The failure to pre pare, the failure to stand up for the rights of ourselves and of others, the yielding to wrongdoing, resulted both in deferring the day when it was pos sible for this nation to act as peace maker, and in bringing us measurably nearer to me danger or ourselves be ing involved in the conflict. Weakness mviies contempt. weakness com bined with bluster invites both con tempt and aggression. Self-respecting strength that respects the rights of others is the only quality that secures respect from others. If. in our foreign policy, we are weak, if we use lofty words at the same time that we com- l mit mean or unworthy actions, and aDove an, u we rail to protect our own rights, we shall not secure the good will of any one. and we shall incur the contempt of other nations; and con tempt of that kind is easily turned Into active international violence. If we cannot protect ourselves we may be sure that no one else will protect us. If we are not prepared in advance, we cannot be true to ourselves; and if we are not true to ourselves we shall cer tainly be false to every one else. Our Strength for Xaught. I believe in International Duty. I hold that we cannot assert that we are entirely guiltless of responsibility for the outrages committed on well behaved nations, particularly on Bel gium, and on non-combatants, partic ularly on women and children, in the present war. Prior to the war we had become parties to the various conven- uewgnea to mitigate norro.rs .of war- andto l!ml the strong and ruthless nations who com mitted the misdeeds, we nevertheless occupy, in some respects, an even meaner position. For we possess strength, and yet we refuse to make ready this strength and we refuse to use It for righteousness. We possess i strength, and yet we decline to put it I behind our plighted word when the interests and honor of others are in- i volved. Iniquity Through Cowardice. Performance uf international duty to others means that in international affairs, in the commonwealth of na tions, we shall not only refrain from wronging the weak, but according to our capacity, and as opportunity of fers, stand up for the weak when the weak are wronged by the strong. Most emphatically it does not mean that we shall submit to wrong-doing by other nations. To do so is a proof not of l virtue, but of weakness, and of mean and abject national spirit. To submit to wrong-doing is to encourage wrong-doing; and it is therefore, it self, a form of iniquity and a pe culiarly objectionable form of inquity. for it ij based on cowardice. The first step in securing international justice is that every peaceful well-behaved na tion shall develop its own strength and its intelligent will power, so as to prevent ill-behaved nations rrom wrong-doing. The second step is that the strong among these ill-behaved nations shall, in some way or shape extend aid and comfort to their weak well-behaved brothers, when the lat ter are wronged. The duty of a na tion like ours cannot be considered as if we stood alone in the world. We are one of a community of nations and the effective condemnation of wrong doing by that community is the great force of civilization. If we shirk our part of that duty to condemn, and if necessary more than condemn, the wrong we are aiding to break down the force of the public opinion of mankind in the support of justice and righteousness, and with that we are helping to destroy the foi-ces of peace and justice which serve to prevent others from doing wrong towards us and thus serve to preserve our peace and safety. It is. however, worse than idle," it is mischievous, to indulge in visionary plans about world-action in the future, until, in the present, we act as we should in two vital matters; in the first place by abandoning the pernicious habit of making reckless promises which can not, or ought not, or will not be kept, mnd in the second place, and most im portant of all. by preparing our own strergth so that we can protect our own rights. About a Navy. Preparedness instead of being pro vocative of war and injustice, tells in favor of peace and justice. Only through preparedness can we secure justice for ourselves. Well-meaning persons who have not thought serious ly or deeply on the subject sometimes assert that we are too far away from the old world ever to fear assault or invasion. The answer is two-fold- In the first place we have under our flag the Canal Zone and Alaska, and vari ous islands. These it is absolutely impossible to protect from any formid able foe except by a first class navy and army. In the next place, the events of the present war show that the ocean is now a highway for any pow er whose ships control it. We have just witnessed the transfer by sea of a Russian army from Eastern Siberia to France a sea voyage three times as long as that across the Atlantic. We have seen a huge army gathered at the Dardanelles from England, France and Australia; and the dis tance from Australia to the Dard anelles is far greater than the dis tance from Asia to our snores, i nere gathered for the attack on Constanti nople a host of fighting men drawn from the great island-continent of the South Pacific, and they were join ed by the fighting men of the British Isles, "who dwelt on the opposite side of the world. From the northern and the southern hemispheres, the trans port steamers have carried witn speed and safety, over the two greatest oceans, masses of troops ten times as numerous as our whole mobile army. If any army half the size of that which attacked the Dardanelles was landed near New York or San Fran cisco in a time no longer than that occupied by the British and Austral ians in reaching the Dardanelles, we should in the present condition of our forces be utterly at its mercy. The immediate loss would fall on the At lantic or Pacific coast; but we are all Americans, and the disgrace would be shared by all of us wherever we live, and the blow to our self-respect and our material well-being would shake our whole country to its foun dations. We Can Be Attacked. Those who confidently assert that there is no danger of our ever being attacked are either ignorant or for getful of the multitude of examples which show how international con flicts arise. The pressure of popula tion and a desire for wealth and power now as in former ages are urging na tions in the old world to get posses sion of all the unoccupied or weakly held parts of the earth from which profit can be derived. This is what has often brought rival European na tions face to face and to the verge of war in Asia and Africa. It has played a great part in bringing on the present war. It is possible that some nation will attack us out of hand, making of some action on the part of our people a plausible cause of quarrel. It is much more likely that if we are not strong enough to maintain our rights, including the assertion of the Monroe Doctrine, we shall be subjected to a series of aggressions upon our rights growing more and more grievous until we reach a pont where we ourselves shall be obliged to resent the aggres- sion of or else to abandon policies es sential to our national greatness and well-being. The prime needs in preparedness, the needs which can be immediately met are to give us, first the navy we require, and second the regular army we require. I have elsewhere given the reasons why we require the sec ond navy in the world and a small, highly efficient regular army of 250,- 000 men, with a proper reserve. Here let it suffice to say that such a navy and such an army would be our best insurance against war and for peace. Nation Shonld Back Army. But the navy and the regular army are not enough. Exactly as back of the navy should stand the regular army, so back of the regular army should stand the nation. I speak to. and on behalf of. a nation of freemen. Freemen fit to be freemen do not have to hire other men to do their fighting. 1 speak here on the invitation of the men who wore the blue and the men who wore the gray of fifty years ago; of the men who fought in the two great citizen armies when. North and South, the bravest and best in the land went forth to battle for their deep convictions. I ask that we of this generation be loyal to the memories of our fathers, and be ready at need to pay with our own bodies for our own principles. When I ask you to prepare by seeing that your "repre sentatives provide a first-class navy and a first class regular army. I am merely asking you to prepare to have the other fellow do your fighting for you. mis does not satisfy me. It ought not to satisfy .you. You and I friends, cannot be loyal to the memory of Washington, and of Grant, and of Lee, unless we are nt and ready to do our own fighting in time of need. I do not wish us. the people, to sink Into a condition where we are so soft, so ease loving, so fond of pleasures, or so wrapped up in-money getting that we cannot do the hard work that brave men must do when the need calls. I speak for universal service based on universal training. For "Universal Training. Universal training and universal service represent the only service and training a democracy should accept. It is the plain people, it is the farm ers, the working men, the small busi ness men, the professional men. who above all others, should back up this have just received a letter from a friend, a farmer in North Car olina, who is arranging to have six farmers' boys from his neighborhood sent to one or tne training camps xor boys this summer. He writes that he has been besieged by farmers and their wives to send their sons to that camp. They wish them to get the training, to have the value of the trip, and of the association with boys from other ports of the country. They real ize how much good it would do them in every way. They realize that the kind of training for preparedness that their boys would receive would help them industrially in time of peace just as much as in war. These farmers and their wives do not wish war. They do not wish their sons to go to war If the war can legitimately be avoided. But they feel that if the nation does get into a fight they wish their sons to take part in that flgnt, and in such event they wish them to be able to take care of themselves and not mere ly be helpless victims of fever or of bullets. Farmers Should Awake. The farmers and wage workers, the business men and rofessional men who are not men of large means, and whose wives have to exercise proper economy in order to keep their homes happy i and comtortabie tnese are the peo ple who. beyond all others, should realize that such training should not be reserved for the boys whose fathers or friends are rich enough to pay for it, but should be given to all American boys at the expense of the nation. It is the present lack of system, the pres ent method of allowing only those boys to train whose fathers have money, which is unfair and undemocratic. It breeds class distinction, among other unhealthy things. I do not believe as a permanent thing in a system that merely puts the Harvard boy alongside the Yale boy or the Princeton boy, the big merchant's son or railroad presi dent's son beside the big lawyer's son. or, perhaps, beside the employee of the rich man who is patriotic enough to pay his expenses. All this is the best that we can get at present; and until the people as a whole wake up. But it is not enough. I believe in the" system that will put all the boys I have mentioned alongside the boy whose father is a brakeman here in Missouri or a hardworking farmer in Kansas, or a factory operative in Massachusetts or New Jersey, or a bookkeeper or stenographer in New York or Chicago; that will put all of them beside the boy from the mountains of North Carolina who has never seen a railway train and has always gone barefoot. Let all these boys be given the same kind of training, and let the best boy out of the bunch become an officer. Let no one be allowed to shirk the duty of preparing himself, for if he does, he is putting on the shoulders of a better man the burden which he himself should carry. For Summer Camps. We have heard a good deal of, talk about the officer class, that we are getting from the volunteer training camps of the present day. As long as we do not have universal military service these camps offer the only chance for young men to prepare so as to serve the country. The man who goes to them renders a high and pa triotic service and incidentally profits immensely by the training and ex perience. My sons have gone and are going to these camps. I believe in these camps with all my heart and soul. They are supplying by private initiative what our governmental rep resentatives have not the foresight to provide for everybody. As long as our citizens do not insist upon everybody being trained, upon everyone going to such camps, why the boys that do go to .them will inevitably get the commissions if war comes. In other words, as long as our peo pie do not make the training univer- j choose as their executive and legisla sal, and do not make it paid for by tive leaders at Washington men abso the commonwealth, only the men of j lutely national in spirit; men whose means will be trained as officers at these camps. At present this is the only way to provide that, in the event of war, we shall have officers worth having. But such a system is funda mentally undemocratic It is our own fault, the fault of our people, that we do not establish the really demo cratic system, for the only way to es tablish the democratic system is through universal service. Napoleon drew his marshals from the humblest ranks, simply because they were the best men for the job; and in a demo cratic army promotion should go by merit VI cr- at Tir-eeTit- the son of o a th. nn nf tho 9 worker know that they have little chance to become officers in the event of war because they cannot afford the time and the rr"----v to get themselves trained in advance. I ask the plain people of the L.ii.ed States, I ask the farmers, the wage workers, the nary men, to give their sons the same chance that the sons of wealthier men have. Make the opportunity open to all; to your sons, to my. sons; to all on an even basis. A system of uni versal training for universal service would be one of the biggest things ever done in this country to preserve our democratic institutions in spirit and in fact. All of Equal Rank. The other day when I spoke on universal service in Detroit, a woman in the gallery called out: "I have two sons and they shall both go if the country needs them." I answered her, "Madam, I take off my hat to you. That is the spirit this country needs and if all the mothers of the country will do as you do and raise their boys so that they shall be able and ready at need to fight for the country, there will never be any need for any of them to fight for the country.- No na tion will ever attack a unified and prepared America." And to you men of the Grand Army.' and you. Confederate veterans, I need not say that this was in effect what was done in our Civil war. Of course, the men who had been trained at West Foint had an initial advantage; but every one went into the ranks on even terms and men from the ranks rcw. to the highest positions on their merits. Let me illustrate this by an incident out of my own experience. I was colonel of a volunteer regiment at Santiago in the Spanish war. I served under the then Brigadier General Sam Toung, and I served beside the then Brigadier General Adna Chaffee. Later, as president, it was my good fortune to give, first to Sam Young, and afterwards to Adna Chafee. the appointment of lieutenant general of the United States, the highest office" in the United States army. On the day that Sam Toung retired. nd that Adna Chaffee was to take his place and be presented as lieutenant gen eral at the White House, it happened that Chaffe's epaulettes had not come and Sam Young sent him around his own epaulettes with a little note read ing. "These axe presented by Private Young. "61. to Private Chaffee. 1." The two fine old boys had entered the army in the same year at the begin ning of the Civil war as privates in the ranks, and they had worked their way up by sheer force of courage and character, and perseverance and ability, until they stood in succession in the highest position at the head of the army in which they had once served as enlisted men. That sym bolized what the American army should be, and what we could make the American army under a system of universal service based on universal training. It is a system which will give every man an equal chance, which will make it the duty of each man to learn how to serve his country, and which will secure to each man the right to serve that country in the ca pacity to which his ability entitles him. Such an army would be a peo ple's army; and it would never be used except in a people's war. In Name of Peace. Remember always that what I ask is asked in the name of peace and in the name of democracy, no less than in the name of national honor and in terest. It is the men who do not be lieve in peace-at-any price who are most apt to secure the peace which self-respecting men and women can accept. I ask that this nation pre pare, in the first place, because if war should be thrust upon us, we must be able to emerge victorious from the trial, and we cannot do so unless we are prepared; and in the second place 1 ask that we prepare because it is the surest way to secure peace, the surest way to keep war from our borders. Little -Switzerland is at peace at this moment because she prepared and only because she prepared. In the Napoleonic wars Switzerland was overrun by French, German and Russian armies; great battles were fought within her limits and she became an appanage of the French Empire and all this purely and solely because at that time she had not' prepared, she was not able to hold her own against invaders. A century later' a war even greater bursts over Europe. Switzerland's natural boundaries and defenses are precisely what they -were; the temp tation to use her territory is precisely as great for the belligerents, but Switzerland had prepared, and there fore Switzerland today is at peace. Prepare From All Sides Military preparedness is only one side of all around preparedness. It would be worthless unless based on industrial preparedness, and both would be worthless unless based on preparedness of the soul and the spirit. You men who wore the Blue and the Gray, when once the war was over, turned to the farm and the shop and the counting house, i.nd again took up your lifework of earning your living and supporting your families, and making provision for the generation that was to come after you. You did this work thoroughly, as you had thor oughly done the work of war. Our people of today must apply your spirit to the changed circum stances of today. It is never possible to treat the past as giving the exact precedent for given action in the pres ent. But the spirit shown by the men who in the great crises in the past rose-, level to those crises, must be hown by the mn of the present in the crisis of the present. In this coun try we have the double duty of train ing ourselves so as to be willing to die for the country, and of developing our internal policy as to make the country worth living in. In the long run the country must be worth living in if it is worth dying for. For National Purpose. In order to make this country worth living in we must develop a real na tional purpose controlled not only by moral motives but by cool intelli gence. If our people put a premium upon the demagogue by supporting the man who makes impossible promises, and who either does not attempt to reduce these promises to action, or else fails in attempting to do so, then we shall go down. The people must theory of government is as far as the poles from the pork-barrel theory and this, whether the pork-barrel be considered from a personal, political or sectional standpoint men who look forward and not back: men who face the facts as they actually are. After this war we shall see a new Europe; a Europe energetically developing new social and economic means of meeting new problems. If, under these cir cumstances, we take refuge in for mulae dug out as fossils from the workings of principles in the past, in stead of developing these principles so as to meet the future, we shall be as foolish as if we were to arm our sol dlers wlth flintlocks and send them against an army possessing machine power rifles, and modern "r ?T T w. 11 :&"Z&"&TXt state transportation systems of the country, for example, be regulated by forty-eight small conflicting sovereign ties, is just as foolish as to trust to forty-eight conflicting sovereignties in military matters. The nation must regulate the arteries of traffic for the whole country in the interests of the whole country. It must control the armed forces of the whole country in the interests of the whole country. In such matters there cannot be divided sovereignty without national weak ness. Moreover, what applies to rail ways directly or indirectly concerned in Interstate business, also applies to all great corporations engaged in in terstate or international business. I stand with all my heart for mili tary preparedness; but no one knows better than I that military prepared ness alone can neither make nor main tain a great nation. It is merely the essential safeguard for a nation indus trially efficient and prosperous, and with a prosperity Justly distributed: a safeguard for a national life organized in all points for national ends and na tional ideals. This national life must be dominated Dy the two great truths; first, that in a successful democracy, every man must, in reasonable meas ure, be his "brother's keeper," and second, that every citizen in such a de mocracy must accept with his whole heart the principle that his first duty in war or in peace is to serve the na tion. Regulate Labor and Business. Occasionally it is said by some one blind to industrial tendencies that the nation has no right to regulate the activities of the great successful busi ness men. Occasionally it is said by some unworthy would-be labor leader that the working man owes nothing to the country, because there is not enough of such regulation in his in terest. Each statement must be em- phatically repudiated by every patriot. It any man, whether worKingman or capitalist, believes that he owes noth ing to this country, then the sooner he gets out of the country the better, for he is unfit to do good to himself or to anvone else. Such a man is not entitled to claim companionship with you veterans of the Civil war who are here today. He is unfit to live in the land which is proud of the memory of your deeds. On the other hand the great business men must recognize more and more that there must be full and frank co-operation between them and the government to secure the public welfare. On the part of the government this co-operation must be given with the sincere desire to in crease the efficiency of our industrial organization, not to hamper it, and with full recognition of the fact that much of modern industry must be carried on by great industrial units. The aim of government should be not to destroy these units but, while en couraging them, to regulate them in the interests of the people as a whole. At the same time the big business man must with equal frankness recognize the fact that his business activities. while beneficial to himself and his as sociates, must also justify themselves bv being beneficial to the men wno work for him, and to the public which he serves. A nation to survive must stand ror the principles of social and industrial justice. How to Stir Patriotism. If any class is here oppressed, orjso neglected that the neglect becomes in effect oppression, the Idea's of pa triotism in that class will assureaiy db dwarfed and stunted. We must not let any man think that he can shirk his own duties, or blame hi own failure and shortcomings on others; and yet we must shape our collective action, so that as far as possible each man shall have a fair chance to show the stuff that is in him. unhelped and unhampered by special privilege. Leg islation to help the business man is eminently proper, but only on condi tion that we show equal zeal for the working and living rights, the social and economic rights, of farmer and wage earner; in short, the rights of all productive citizens must be sate guarded with equal care. A protective tariff with the duties adjusted out side of factional politics is essential in the industrial world of today. But the protective tariff by itself means noth ing but the rudimentary beginning of the needed policy, or rather policies, for the broadest national development of our economic life, along lines de signed to secure real, substantial jus tice. Our national resources must be conserved, but the conservation must be in the public interest, and on this as on all other points the prosperity and growth of industry must, so far as possible, be made to go hand in hand with a reasonably equitable dis tribution of its returns. Care for Our Brothers. In addition to treating our brother man and sister woman as we would wish them to treat us, we must also endeavor, so far as we are able, to se cure them just treatment by others. This is why we must try to abolish child labor. This is why we must see that women in industry are protect ed from inhuman treatment of any kind. This is why we must try to se cure, not merely for women and chil dren, but for men also, conditions of life and labor, such that the head of the family will not be ground under foot by excessive toil, nor kept to a wage that will not permit him to bring tip his family in the way it should be brought up, that will not permit him to save his wife from prostrating drudgery. It does not mean that we shall try to give to the shiftless the same reward as to the energetic and hard working. It does not mean that we shall permit the vicious to com mit wrong with impunity. It does not mean that we shall excuse any wage worker, or any other man for failure to honor the United States flag and whole heartedly to serve the nation for the privileges of citizenship should be conditioned on the possession and exercise of patriotism. But it does mean that for the sake of our chil dren and children's children who are to come after us. we shall strive to bring about conditions In this country such as to free every hard working and right thinking man from the sense of injustice and oppression, from the feeling that the laws do not se cure him justice, but do give an ad vantage over against him to unscrupu lous cunning and unscrupulous force. In the long run our children's chil dren will find that this is not a good country for any one to live in unless we and they make it a reasonably good country for every one to live in. About "Lip" Loyalty. What I thus say does not represent anything new in principle- On the contrary, the principles thus set forth have received the lip loyalty of many men before election, who, after elec tion, forgot their pre-election prom ises. What we need in our public men is performance, not promise; to treat a platform merely as a means of getting office, not as a covenant to be kept in office, is demoralizing both to the public and to the servants 01 m puonc. lca Tne ,,resident declares, "The Pow, friends, the men here today people should rededicate themselves, whom I have particularly addressed, for an America which no man can the men who wore the Blue, and the corruot. no influence draw away from men who wore the Gray in the Civil its ideals, no force divide against it war, proved that they had convictions self." worth dying for. Thev therebv made i this a land worth living in. They showed that they were willing to sac rifice everything, including life itself, for certain great ideals. They thereby ranged themselves among the great peoples of mankind. No nation ,s really great, no race Is entitled to a permanent position of leadership or of equality on this earth, unless its sons are willing to die at need for great ideals. But it is equally im portant that they shall show a like power of fealty to ideals in the wv they live their ordinary lives. If after the close of the Civil war the soldiers wno iougnt in it on both sides had shown themselves so demoralized by the four years of fighting that they could not settle down to civil life, but insisted on continuing in ami nH plunging the country into anarchy, the 1 net result of their former heroism 1 would have been destruction for this nation.

A Day to Remember. This is Memorial day. You have today decorated the graves of gallant men who paid by their death for the lack of wisdom and foresight shown by their forefathers. This is a day of ton star, day of mourning. For forty years prior to the Civil war our people re- j "Isn't it dreadful! This is the third fused to face facts and soberly bend I time I have worn the same evening their energies to make war impos- t gown." "Never mind, my dear: re sible. Heroes shed their blood, and j member that it is just that sort of solf women walked all their lives in the denial that develops one's character." shadow, because there had been such Lite a lack of foresight, such slothful lazy optimism. Let the lesson thus taught sink into the minds of us of this gen eration. Let us not from laziness and lack of foresight create a situation where brave men shall die to make good our shortsightedness. I ask that we prepare, not because I wish war, but because with all my heart I de sire to keep war afar from us; and only by forethought and by prepara tion of soul and body can we thus keep it afar off. A Means to an End. The end we have in view is a high and fine national life based on an industrial efficiency which shall be ac companied by social and economic jus tice. Military preparedness against war is merely a means to this end. But it is an indispensable means. We are not fit to be free men unless we show the forethought and will power necessary to insure that we ourselves shall have the right to decide our cwn destinies, and not be .forced helplessly to submit to have them decided by alien conquerors. If we are true to the men of the mighty past we shall guide ourselves by what Lowell wrote to the pacifists of his time, who to use his own words wished to "knuckle down" to their foes, he said: 'Peace Won't keen bonne with Fear! If you want peace the thing you've got to no Is iust to show you're un to ft statin or too: Betetr that all our shipa with all their crews Should sink to rot in ocean's dreamless ooze. Each torn flag waring challenge as it went And each dumb gun a brave man's monu ment. Than seek such peace as only cowards crave Give me the peace of dead men or of Brave." "Come Peaeeb Peace!

Syracuse Kan., May 30, Efforts of the attorneys for the state in the trial of Archie Sweet, alleged murderer of Miss Nellie Byers, the Grant county school teacher, were to show that only Sweet could have been implicated in the crime. Most of the day was given over to testimony intended to show that Clint Henson, near whose home the girl's body was found, and others who have hoen mentioned in the case. were near the scene of the crime at the time it was supposed to have, been committed. Henson occupied part of the day and was followed by Earl Blake, Fred Eidson and Tobe Brewer. Each 8.rticle of the girl's clothing, found under a clump of soapwood, a few hundred feet from her body, was exhibited to the jury for inspection, to show that tt had been ripped from the body with damage to the button holes and hooks and was not removed with care. Permit Any Testimony. That was to refute the claim of the defense it was understood that the clothing was not taken from the body until after it was dark, when the mur derer returned and took it off in an effort to conceal his crime, being pre vented from destroying it by the early discovery of the body. All bars to the admission of testi mony have been removed and wit nesses are allowed to testify to what they have heard regarding the case and what their opinion upon it are. There have been but two objections to questions in the last two days of the trial and much of the testimony now being offered is in rebuttal, although tne state has introduced only about a dozen of its fifty witnesses. Court was adjourned an hour to permit at torneys for the state to Interview their witnesses in an attempt to decide which will be placed on the Ltand be fore the defense begins the introduc tion of evidence. Judge Downer announced that night sessions of the court would be started today in the hope that the case may be finished thiB week.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 30, 1916 7 il' it t J! 3 f IS it) t vl 'f! r Mrs. Harold Copeland of Junction City, who is in Topeka to visit her parents, Bishop and Mr3. F. R. Mills paugh, is being entertained at a num ber of informal parties." She was the guest of honor at an afternoon affair given today by Miss Helen McClintock. Mrs. Walter Hayes -will entertain for her Thursday afternoon of this week. Prof. E. D. Schonberger, of the de partment of oratory of Washburn col lege, was one of the onlookers at a rehearsal of the play "Satan Came Also" last night. Mr. Schonberger in an Interview regarding the forthcom ing production of the show says: J'l-of. K. 1. Schonbcrgcr of Washburn College. To those inexperienced in the mat ter of rehearsal, the- present stage of "Satan Came Also" might seem some what unpromising. To those who have been through the mill several times, the eight of manuscripts in the hands of actors and the bungling read ing of the lines are no cause for great concern. If es'ery member of the cast knew his part a week ahead of the performance, the experienced stage manager might die of heart failure. Managing a play is what Sherman eaid war is, and Mr. George Shelton is squaring up to the sulphur with angelic self command. The best thing about "Satan Came Also" is the play itself. It is pure farce, full of action and ridiculous situations carried on in excellent bur lesque and dialogue. Some of the characters are drawn to the life, notably Uncle Bascom, Aunt Jemima, and some other minor characters. The others are exactly what the nature of the farce demands, caricatures and exaggerations of human nature for the sake of entertainment. The second promising thing is the manager's method of conducting the rehearsal. He "gets after them" re gardless of any spirit of "I know it all" or "I can't do it." It will be a miracle of adverse fat if he does not whip the cast into shape before Satur day. It is impossible to speak of the promise of individual members of the cast. They have been remarkably well chosen, for the most part. Particular ly fitted to the parts are Mr. Waldo Heywood as Uncle Bascom, Mr. George Piatt as the parson. Miss Her ron as Aunt Jemima. We are accustomed to hearing it said that such and such a perform ance was very good for amateurs. Very often, however, the average amateur play, under good direction, is far above the average professional performance. It isr not too much to predict that "Satan Came Also" will be far superior to the majority of all the performances given by many popular stock companies which Topeka has tolerated in the past.

One of society's young lions, who enjoys the privilege of working for the county, and sometimes is obliged to get to his office at an early hour in the morning, recently filed a complaint with a state official, in which he said: "Did you ever happen to be down town on the avenue at 7:30 in the morning? It is at thp.t hour that the caretakers of "the down towii buildings begin to clean out,- and sometimes I can scarce ly get past a building, on account of the dust that is swept out onto me and piled up in front of me. As a state of ficer, you should do something about it." The state officer answered: "No, I am never down town on the avenue at 7:30 in the morning. I always try to get in a few hours earlier than that; yet 1 can sympathize with you' when you are subjected to the indignity of having your dress up clothes all mussed up with sweepings. I would counsel you to toddle home a bit ear lier. As a state officer, I have no au thority to prevent janitors from sweep ing out buildings; nor can I appoint the hour for the performance of that labor: but as a friend I can advise you to resolve to cross the bar about five a. m. and you ought to make It safely into port by 7:30."

A pretty spring dress for street and afternoon wear that I noticed down town was a silk, like the old time foulards. It was of a navy blue with small white dots. The skirt was in ripple flounces, and the bodice of semi-tailored effect. At the back of the waist were two rows of white but tons, forming a panel in the fitted part of the bodice. The collar was a square of white crepe de chine, edged all around with tin gold buttons. A suit for spring wear that was on the street yesterday was of a wide check. In soft material, and blending in an ivory-gray shade. The belt, cuffs and collar were of lettuce green taffeta. Hotes and Personal Mention.

George made the only two I errors on the Topeka side and it was j these that were directly responsible j for five of the Drummers six tallies. .The final score was 6 to 3.

The ball bounced past the first baseman to the grandstand, and the bases were cleaned. Otto landing safely on third. -A moment -later Williams etole home.

Otto -Williams was safe on a fielder's choice, stole second and scored on Jourdan's single. Up to the eighth inning the Savages .only compiled one hit, a clean single to center by Iattimore in the fourth, -in the eighth, however, they perked up real nicely and for a time had the irummers disturbed. With one down, "Hi West himself started the fireworks with a two-bagger down the third base line. Agler and Lattimore followed with singles. West scoring. After 4-Jochran flied out, Schweitzer deliv ered with a triple to right, driving home Agler and Cattie. The fun was over, though, when l"ydeman popped out to Jourdan. The Kaws were cut "Sown rapidly in the ninth. Xutcw of the Game. The Savages deserved to win. with West tightening up as he did in the -fjtnches. and it was too bad to see him lose through the careless support of one man. Krueger made a dandy running catch of Otto Williams's long fly to left center in the third. The fans ap plauded him vigorously. The Drummers tried a slick play in the fifth. Monroe was on first. Through a prearranged plan. Otto Wil Jiam? was behind first base backing .up Jourdan. Block threw to the bag. -apparently to catch Block, but tossed the ball over Jourdan's head, but where Otto could get it. The play didn't work, however, a? Monroe stuck to the bag. Block, evidently, brought the trick into the league, as he says it is one used occasionally in the Coast league.

BASEBALL IS GREATEST OF -GAMES, SAYS DR. NAISMITH Lawrence, Kan.. May 30. "Base ball is the greatest preparation for a man's life that can be indulged in." declared Dr. James N'aismith. director of physicial education at the University of Kansas, here re cently. "The sport trains a player to be observant, and to have self- -control. It also trains the mem ory. If I had my way about it I would have diamonds where at least twenty teams could play every day at the university." Dr. Naismith pointed out that the keen ball players usually developed into ,a ikeen businessman. At Detroit First game R. H. E.

Denison, 4; McA tester, 9. Fort Smith, 0; Tulsa. 14. Not content with stealing Jimmy Jackson from the Savages. Wichita now grabs one of Topeka's most valu able baseball boosters in J. Will Kel ley of the Commercial club. "Bugs" Reisigl, formerly of the To peka Western league club, who has had a varied career in the Pacific coast loop, has been cut loose by the Salt Lake City club and has signed with Spokane, of the Northwestern league. Hush Jennings of Detroit says that the Cleveland Indians look like pen nant winners. Yep. Hugh certainly still possesses moderately good look ers. Today is a big sport occasion in every town of any importance in the United States except in Kansas. If you have a holiday this afternoon and don't have any place to go. remember that your esteemed legislature made it impossible for baseball promoters to offer you amusement for the day. Jack Clifford, the dancing partner husband of Evelyn Nesbit. was once a pug. He undoubtedly learned to do the tango and bunny hug in the squared circle, and now that he has entered the matrimonial ring he will probably learn some real pugilism. An Omaha paper announces that "Animal" Dashner Is a rough custom er who oats raw meat and scrap iron and when in condition generally puts up a pretty nifty exhibition of south paw chucking. If raw meat and scrap iron are all that it takes to put Dash, in con dition we're in favor of killing the fattest calf in Kansas and serving it to him with the family sewing ma chine upon his return. Also, we would like to throw in a neighbor's automobile and poodle as side dishes- In spite of the ruling of Irwin M. Howe, league statistician, in the now famous Hall-Dashner game in Lincoln two weeks ago in which Hall was given credit for winning the gams af ter he was out of it, C. S. Sherman, the Lincoln official scorer, asserts that Dashner should be given credit for winning and cites the opinion of the national commission's secretary to back up his assertion. The opinion upon which the Lin coln sport writer bases his argument is -as follows: "Where a relieving pitcher goes in with the score a tie on even innings, he must win 'or lose the game, regardless of the num ber of innings, or how effectively the first pitcher may have pitched." The score' of the game in question was tied at the beginning of the ninth inning, the one in which Hall dropped out and Dashner went in. The na tional commission's secretary may be right in the matter, and according to his ideas Dashner would be given the game: but unless Howe voluntarily changes his decision. Hall will get the game in the final records. Gradually but surely women are coming into their own in the sport world and are pushing men into the background. A skirt, answering to the handle of Miss Sue Trawkofski, has won a permanent outfield position with a club in the Richmond, Ind., Commercial league. She is the only woman player in the league, but it is likely to be only a matter of time until there will be others, not only in this but in other leagues. If a club owner in the Western league would put a woman in his line up he would be assured of a team that would draw at the gates until the novelty wore off. And some club own er in some league is more than apt to succumb to the temptation. And if women once break into or ganized baseball, then, goodnight Su san Trawkofski! An evidence of what they will do to the sterner sex is in dicated by the demand now being made by women golfers that men be made to wear skirts and corsets when playing matches with them. EST TENNIS PLAY TODAY. Finals in Spring Tournament WiU Be Reached This Afternoon. This afternoon's play will decide the winner for the spring tennis tour nament on the Y. M. courts.

May 30. The message Bent to Washington py General Car ranza contains the point blank charge that recent border troubles were In spired by American politicians for use in the coming presidential campaigns, it was reliably reported here today. Just when the message will be pre sented is not known. One rumor to day said that it would not be handed to President Wilson for several days. There was another report that it will be held at the Mexican embassy at Washington for presentation in case another attempt is made to force American intervention in Mexico. One reason for postponing delivery, it is unofficially reported, was General Carranza's desire to make certain al terations after the message was dis patched to Washington. None Sent, Says Ajruilar. Mexico City. May 30. Foreign Min ister Aguilar stated today that no note had been sent to Washington by Gen eral Carranza. He intimated that communication had been under con sideration, but offered no explanation as to why it had been withheld. Manuel Mendez, an attache of the Mexican foreign office arrived in Washington yesterday. Prior to his arrival state department officials had been officially notified that Mendez was a special messenger from Gen eral Carranza and carried a note which would probably renew the sug gestion that American troops be with drawn from Mexico. Officials of the de facto government in Washington had also received the same informa tion but Mr. Mendez on his arrival said that he carried no note and was simplv on. a vacation. HEAVY" STORMS SOUTH Wind Musses I'p Memphis and Does Much Petty Damage- Memphis, Tenn.. May 30. One of the most severe wind and electrical .tnrm nerienced in years swept over Memphis early today.

On the river front several boats were torn from their moorings and one steamer was reported agroun on a mud bar. Only meager reports have been re ceived from outlying sections owing to Interruption in wire communication but they indicated only minor prop erty damage. The storm approached from the west and apparently was general over a large section of eastern Arkansas. A TRAGEDY AfHOLTON Woman" Shot by Husband While- At tending a Church Meeting. Holton. Kan..

Phone 4036 I5BI FAIL TOJALLY Effort to Line Up Kansas Dele gation for Hughes Finds a Number Outside of the Breastworks. SECOND CHOICE IS IN DOUBT Both "Weeks and Root Said to Have Friends. The Bull Moose Delegation May Wield an Influence. Efforts to line up the solid Kansas delegation to vote for Justice Hughes for the Republican presidential nomi nation, have failed. Letters said to have been written by Kansas delegates in the last few days make certain that the delegates from this state will split the vote on president. Failure of Justice Hughes to make a statement on vital issues is said to have aitectea the decision of several delegates who might have otherwise supported him for the nomination. Recently a member of the Kansa3 delegation is said to have written each of the nineteen other delegates urging that the delegates from this state get together on Hughes. He suggested that a strong sentiment for the su preme court justice prevailed in Kan sas and requested a unanimous vote for the former New York governor on the first ballot. A number of replies are said to have been written in response to the letters. An accurate poll of the sentiment of the twenty delegates, however, has not been obtained. Several politicians and close political observers have endeav ored to secure a definite line on the personal preference of the twenty del egates and their vote in Chicago. These efforts have failed. Hughes on First Ballot As a result of the letters, however. It is probable that Hughes will receive Children Cry The Kind Ton Have Always Bought has borne the signa ture of Chas. II.

Whether these delegates will stand with the Justice throughout the fight is quite another thing, sev eral old line leaders whose counsel will count for much with the Kansas delegates, are expected to urge Hughes as a compromise rather than a com promise with Roosevelt as the choice of the delegates. Failure of Justice Hughes to make a statement- as to his position on pre paredness and other Issues may cost him several votes with the Kansas del egates. Several weeks ago it was pre dicted that at least fifteen of the twen ty delegates were for Hughes. But conditions have changed greatly since that time. Maybe Hughes followers will be able to swing that number of votes in Chicago next week. Maybe not.. Weeks and Root Have Friends. Both "Weeks and Root are known to have friends on the delegation. Where these delegates would go in event one or both of these men were eliminated from the race after the early voting, is not known even by close political observers. In Chicago this week, however, D. W. Mulvane of Topeka, former national committeeman for Kansas, asserted that Roosevelt would under no conditions receive a single vote from the Sunflower state dele gation. It is believed Mulvane has a more accurate idea of the plans of the delegates than any man in the state. Right in the face of Mulvane's pre diction that Kansas will never yield a vote to the colonel, thirty-four Pro gressive delegates are going to Chi cago to whoop it up for Roosevelt. Thev will demand Roosevelt's nomi nation or nothing. These delegates will offer to come back with Roose velt at the head of the ticket. They will pledge their party to go it alone with Roosevelt eliminated. And the effect which this argument will have on the delegates from Kansas will be a matter of state wide concern.

Murkin of Bur ton owes his wife to a "Made in Ger many" watch which deflected a schrapnel bullet. Amsterdam According to the Atrassburg Zeitung, the kaiser con stantly carries on his person a psalm book which belonged to Emperor Frederick, who wrote on the flyleaf: "I carried this through the Schleswig Holstein campaign, 1864, against Aus tria, 1866, and against France in lSTO."

WILL INVEST IN SUGAR Ed Woodruff Refuses to Spend Easy Money on Cigars. Ed Woodruff, jailer at the city pris on, found a pocketboo'k a woman's pocketbook, containing: three dollars, a powder puff and other feminine ap purtenances. He took it to the police station and waited for the owner to claim it. While Woodruff was off duty a wo man came in, described the contents of the purse and it was given to her. She inquired the name of the finder and wrote it down. Yesterday Woodruff received a dol lar from the woman, sent to him as a reward. Every officer on the job thought of the cigar he was going to get out of that dollar. That's where the petty rewards usually go. Finally one of the men offered a broad hint to Woodruff bpt it didn't go. "Cigars," snorted the jailer. "I should say not. I'm going to buy su gar with this dollar before it goes up." ON HEROES No day on the calendar is more popular, and surely none is more need ed. If we would not lose our ideals, and become utterly sordid in spirit, we need to stop our usual work and turn our attention at least once a year to the men and events that have made our lives rich and fulL enjoy the blessings of freedom and a inited country, and do well to honor the heroes whose sacrifices made this possible. We gratefully acknowledge this debt In honor of the memory of these heroic dead we garland their graves. When our country's integrity was threatened, they offered their lives in protection. They died that liberty might live. They sacrificed everything for country. A grateful nation is unanimous in praising their deeds. Now upon this generation another strife has been forced. A nation .that for forty years haa been preaching the frankest philosophy of force and ma terialism. That teaches that the "strong" and not the "meek" shall in herit the earth. That calls solemn treaties mere "scraps of paper" when in the way of its desires. That dis regards all moral restraints of interna tional law and wages a war of "fright fulness" upon civilians men, women and children. This nation takes the offensive and attack? its neighbors. And yet we are urges- to be neutral. Peace is held before us as the highest good. France is fighting for her physical life. England is bleeding in defense of a small neighbor, and of the sanc tity of treaties and of law, the very foundation of civilization. Yet all are alike condemned for fighting. It is frequently said tnat all Europe has suffered a moral breakdown. How can we condemn our brothers in one breath, and praise our fathers in the next, for the same spirit shown? If Memorial day means anything, it means that war is not always to be condemned. A man may fight for right and justice and freedom. This is just as heroic in our brothers, as rn our fathers. Our "Battle Hymn of the Republic voices the spirit of millions in the trenches of Flanders today "As He died to make men holy, let us die to make them free. For God is marching on." FESTUS FOSTER.
