Following Siege on Strike Sit uation in Washington. DIPLOMAT IN RAILWAY WORK Well Known All Oyer Country as an Authority. Funeral Will Be Held in To pt'ka Wednesday Afternoon. C W. Kouns, 6 2 years old, general manager f the eastern lines of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, died at 6:30 o'clock Sunday morning, Sn his home, 907 Topeka avenue, in this city after an illness of only a ahort du ration. Death, according to attending physicians, was due to overwork and a complication of indigestion and heart trouble. C. W. Kouns. (His Favorite Photograph.) Mr. Kouns, a few hours before his death, had arrived home from Wash ington, where he had been taking part in the wage negotiations as a mem ber of the committee of seventeen general managers representing the railroads. During the last month of the controversy he worked almost day and night. Santa Fe employes from the shops and offices here will attend the fu neral in a body. The offices and shops both will be closed Wednesday from noon. Manv officials from all over the sys tem will be in the city to attend the funeral. Officials of other railroads have announced their intentions of coming. Three years ago Mr. Kouns suffered an illness which physicians say was the forerunner of that which caused his death. For some time he suffered from an attack of rheumatism and in digestion. After his recovery however, he did not experience much trouble of a similar nature until recently. Went East In July. Mr. Kouns left for Washington in July. August 22 he suffered what physicians told him was an at tack of indigestion. His trouble was similar to that which he suffered three years ago. However, he refused to go to bed and was at work with his committee every day until the following Saturday when his condition became worse. His illness became so serious that Dr. J. P. Raster, head of the Santa Fe hospital here, was sent for, and left imme diately for Washington. Doctor Kas ter was at Mr. Kouns's side until the official's death. Mr. Kouns started home Friday. lie stood the trip well, according to physicians. It was said in the general offices here while he was en route home that he was recovering. How ever, when he arrived here at 11:25 o'clock Saturday night his condition was critical. His condition became worse and a few hour later he passed away. Mr. Kouns was probably one of the most prominent railroad managers in the country. He was one of the old school of officials that is growing less every year those who rise from the Sketch of His Life. He was born in New Holland, Ohio. He began his railroad career in 1871 as a brakeman on the Kansas Pacific, now merged into the Union Pacific. Later he served as telegraph operator, station agent and train dispatcher on that line. In 1877 he went to Texas as a conductor on the International Great Northern, where he was soon promoted to trainmaster. A short time later he went to the Galveston, Harris burg San Antonio railroad as train master and superintendent of trans portation. In 188 3 he was made assistant su perintendent of the Union Pacific, Nebraska division, and in 1885 he went to the Texas Pacific as chief clerk to the general superintendent. He began service with the Santa Fe in 18R8 as chief clerk to the general superintendent. In 1889 he was made superintendent of car service, servi in that capacity until 1901 when he became assistant general superintend ent. Then he became superintendent of transportation. In 1907 he became assistant to the vice president in charge of operation. He became gen eral manager of western lines in 1907 I' f J EIGHT-HOUR DAY COSTS NOTHING SAYSLF. POST Means Work That Has Been Done in Ten Hours Will Now Be Done in Eight, He Declares. WAS FOR BETTER SERVICE That Was the Object of the Threatened Strike. Speaker Touches on Other Phases of Labor Problem. Declaring that no fair minded per sons, excepting those befuddled by the publicity agents of the railroads will for one moment stand on the side of the railroad companies in their fight against the railroad brotherhood, Louis F. Post, assistant secretary of the United States department of labor, this afternoon at the Labor day cele bration at Garfield park, outlined the position of the railroad brotherhoods. Mr. Post was introduced by Governor Capper, following the big two-mi'e parade. "You have been told," said Mr. Post, "that the threatened strike was to se cure an eight-hour day with ten hours' wages. Tou have been told and still are told that this will cost the rail road corporations millions upon mil lions of dollars for the wage increase. "Do you realize that no such con dition is involved? "The threatened railroad strike was for the purpose of securing better rail road service. At one time the rail road men were kept on duty for thirty, forty, fifty and even sixty hours at a stretch. Their only chance for sleep was in a caboose, or on a locomotive, during all those hours. Same Old Cry. "The reason for it was that the rail roads were being controlled not by railroad men, but by financiers; not in the interest of good transportation service, but in the interest of plunder ing profits. Senator LaFollette se cured a law which limited consecutive service to sixteen hours a day. The same outcry was made against him that is being made now that the rail roads could not afford it. "And now the railroad operatives thru bad management of the finan ciers the kind of management that has wrceked the Hartford New Haven, the Rock Island and the Frisco are forced to make less than reasonable speed. A fair rate of speed would be 124 miles an hour. They have been kept down to ten miles an hour and less. "What the men threatened to strike for was 12 miles an hour, which would cover 100 miles in eight hours, the hundred miles that have been cov ered in ten hours or more. Now why should it cost the railroads any more to cover 100 miles in eight hours than to cover 100 miles in ten. If they will manage their roads decently they can cover the 100 miles at the same wages at which they are covernig that run now." Average Wage Too Low. Practically every phase of the labor problem was discussed by Mr. Post in his address. Laboring men should be proud, he declared. Mr. Post quoted statistics to nrove that the average wage earner in America does not recevie a living wage for a family. The Single Tax. In closing, Mr. Post made a strong argument for a single tax, a tax that will take a penalty off of industry and derive money for government from in creases in land values. At present, he declared, half the people of the United States are tenants and there is hardly any public land left. BASEBALL TODAY NATIONAL I.EAGCE. First Philadelphia game: R. H- E.

The mini mum temperature last night was 72 degrees, 10 degrees above normal. To day is the seventieth consecutive day without a good rain, according to S. D. Flora, local weather observer, and there is nothing to indicate an early end to the dry spell. The forecast calls for generally fair weather tonight and Tuesday; slightly cooler tonight. Altho the mercury stayed above the 70 degree mark last night, the night was not uncomforta ble owing to the wind. The highest temperature Sunday was 81 degrees, altho the day was cloudy an1 a fresh wind blew all day. A light trace of rain fell Sunday morning.

Strange Code Messages by Un ions Called It Off. Chicago, Sept 4. From Chicago the railroad unions sent telegrams to every division point on western rail roads, informing both railway officials and trainmen that the strike is off. A general attitude of relief was ex pressed by railway officials. Presi dent E. P. Ripley of the Atchison, To peka Santa Fe railway, said, how ever, that he was sorry the question had not come to a critical test. "1 am sorry it has been called off." Mr. Ripley said. "The Adamson bill doesn't become effective until January 1. Between now and then we can de cide what to do. I can't say just when we will do anything, but the law sure ly will be tested." In congress and among the railroad officials there has existed doubt as to the constitutionality of the law. but what steps, if any, may be taken to test it hag not been indicated. All the code messages calling off the strike had been prepared in ad vance. No two of the more than six hundred dispatches were alike.

Child Labor One of Most Im portant Ever Passed. New York, Sept. 4. In addition to the eight-hour law passed last week by congress to avert a nation-wide tie- up of railroads, ninety-two labor laws have been passed by congress and state legislatures during the past legislative year, according to a survey which was made public last night by the Ameri can Association for Labor legislation. "The most significant items In this legislation," says the secretary. Dr. John B. Andrews, "are two national -laws, one prohibiting the shipment in interstate or foreign commerce of cer tain products in the preparation of which the labor of children has been employed, and the other providing a model scale of workmen's compensa tion for personal injuries among fed eral employes, of which there are now more than 480.000. 700 Introduced In Congress.

(Fight y roundsln Postscript edi tion of State Journal on streets after contest is over.) Colorado Springs, Colo., Sept. 4. Two years ago in Greater London, Freddie Welsh of Pontypridd, Wales, wrested the lightweight boxing cham pionship of the world from Willie Ritchie, an American. Today before these westerners he defends it against an American in what is- called "Little Lunnon," this little mountain resort of Colorado Springs, and for the first time since he won the title Welsh is booked to travel the 20-round route with challenger Charlie White. Probably never was a championship battle fought in such quaint and pic turesque surroundings. The gigantic arena which has been splendidly erected for the fight rests in a grass grown hollow four blocks from the center of the town. To the east stretches for miles and miles sun burned prairie, while to the west, in all its stupendous glory, rises Pike's Peak, a heap of brown granite, to an elevation of 14,000 feet. Far up on its tip a white ring of enow can just be seen. Below to the west is the con tinental divide, swathed in snow and across which a western br-s:e gently whipped today. Interest Intense. In this poetic setting thousands of fight "bugs" raved early today, every one an authority, every one a critic, shouting mind bets, predicting this, predicting that and every other possi bility of a championship battle. The only thing universally believed was that when Freddie Welsh and Charley White, the Chicago pretender, sailed into each other this afternoon mere would oe a Ilgnt. This was based upon the frank arrangement of the fighters and their managers to bar notning in tne method of fighting. ine only restriction placed upon the champion and his opponent is that which will prevent holding and hit ting. Everything else goes blows in tne break, kidney punches, clinch milling and what not of fighters' tricks. Everything's fair above the Delt. Referee Billy Roche's announce ment that the decision, if the fight goes me iuu zu rounds will be given on points, also was well received. No Stalling Goes. "The first round counts as much as the last," said Roche. "A flash fin ish by either man will count no more in the summary than sturdy battling in the early rounds. White and Welsh stuck to their suburban cottages early today, as they did Sunday, excepting a little road work and a few minutes with the punching bag. Both men exhibited no end of confidence and, so far as could be judged, betrayed no uneasi ness. Harry Pollok, Welsh's manager and Nate Lewis, White's pilot, established themselves Sunday In the Antlers ho tel, where they were assailed with suggestions by all manner of charac ters from hitherto aloof old dowagers to pugs who are the camp dogs of all big bouts. The rich lobby of that expensive re sort was in a constant din of gossip today. Tanned giants of the west with wide brimmed hats discussed the com mon topic with sleek and dapper salesmen from the east. Coats, bulg ing at the hips, concealed more dead ly things than pocket flasks. Fight "bugs" from all quarters of the west streamed into the springs during the morning on special trains.

Largest Labor Day Celebration in History of City. THIRTY-FIVE MERCHANT FLOAT Other Features of Demonstra" tion for the Local Unions. Men in Afternoon Sport Events at Garfield Park. Two thousand Topeka laboring men marched in a solid line two miles long today and presented to Topeka citi xens the biggest Labor day parade in the history of the city, the opening of the Labor day celebration. Only a few hours before organized labor, represented in Topeka by this long line of men, through its power had broken all legislative records and had won the greatest victory in the history when congress passed an 8 hour day law for railroad brother hoods despite the protests of millions of dollars of capital. Probably every citizen in Topeka, who witnessed the parade today, thought of the power of this organization brought home to them a few hours before and the men themselves were thinking of it, too, no doubt. Merchants Floats Many. 'Thirty-five floats manufactured by friendly Topeka merchants added to floats prepared by the unions punc tuated the long line and added color to the parade. Also there was a number of unexpected features, among them being a float by the Christian Endeav or society and an industrial display by the boys of the Topeka Industrial school. Starting promptly at 1 o'clock from Sixth avenue and Monroe streets, the parade began the long march to Gar field park. A special feature was the review by the leaders. Fred W. Fel ton, marshal of the day, R. I. Cross- white, aide, members of the police department and Marshall's band started first from Sixth avenue and Monroe street and marched south to Tenth avenue reviewing the other sections lined on both sides of Mon roe street from Sixth to Tenth avenue.- Gradually the various sections fell in line. AU Had a Surprise. It was not until they marched past the line of parade that the leaders had any idea of the m.ognitude and beauty cf the floats prepared by the various unions and merchants. Each union and each merchant had tentatively agreed to keep all others in ignorance of the nature of the floats and thus surprise those in the parade as well as the thousands of spectators lining Kansas avenue from Tenth avenue to Garfield park where the parade dis banded. The float prepared by Crosby Broth ers probably attracted as much atten tion as that of any merchant. Crane Company's float also called forth much applause. The cigar makers, electricians, printers and building trades council all had pretty floats representing their organizations by clever designs. A noticeable feature of the floats was the number of signs on them bearing the painters' and dec orators' labels. The growth of this organization probably has been more rapid in the last year tnan tnai ot any other in Topeka. post speaks. Upon reaching Garfield park, those marching in the parade, were given large slices of iced watermelon fur nished to tnem Dy ine uwj grocery. Immediately Louis F. Post, assistant secretary of the United States depart ment of labor, delivered a Labor Day address. He was introduced by Gov ernor Capper, who rode with Mr. and Mrs. Post in the parade. Other public officials in the parade were the city commissioners. Chief of Police Par sons. Joseph Hanlon, chief of the fire department, and w. K. timiin, siaie printer, who is a member of the print ers' union. All shops and offices of the Santa Fe in Topeka closed at noon in honor of Labor Day.

TWO CENTS RAIL CHIEFS ARE t READY TO QUIT FIGHTIS BELIEF Predict Universal Eight Hour Day for All Labor. Unions to Re-order Strike If Roads Balk on Law. MEANS $60.000,000 EXTRA But Employes Figure It, $20, 000,000 Increase Pay. Wilson to Sign Bill Again to Insure Its Legality. Washington, Sept. 4. A llngertnsT year of warfare still clung to the rail brotherhoods today. Tho reasonably confident the eight hour bill, now a, law, means a year of peace on -he rail lines, brotherhood men frankly said there will be a strike if the transporta tion chiefs ever try to restore the tea hour' system. They thought the railroads may test the constitutionality of the measure which President Wilson signed yester day; but if the courts deem it uncon stitutional and then the lines try to revert to ten hours, the strike threat of recent weeks will be renewed. The more optimistie say the wag commission created by the eight hour law will find that the men's cause Is just. In this event, they say the rail roads are scarcely likely to overturn the law, constitutional or unconstitu tional. Further, the fact that th brotherhoods are ready and willing to aid the lines in getting rate increases, if such are necessary, is regarded as peace overture the roads will not scorn. Affects Unorganized Men, Too. Only A. B. Garretson. W. S. Carter and W. S. Stone of the brotherhood heads remained here today. W. G. Lee, trainmen's leader, re turned to Cleveland last night. Ho said: "Passage of the eight hour bin will aid not only the organised but also the unorganized laborers of the coun- try. It will show the latter what or ganization can accomplish and it will be the beginning of a universal eight hour system." In view of the fact that some per sons have questioned the legality of a bill signed on Sunday, President Wil son will again sign the document to morrow. Only Two Democrats Against Bill. XJnly two Democrats Senator Hardwick of Georgia and Clarke of Arkansas finally voted, against the bill, and one Republican La Follette of Wisconsin voted for it. Railroad officials have declared that the action of congress will cost them 60 million dollars a year in in creased wages to the trainmen. Broth erhood officials say the enactment will mean not more than an annual increase of 20 million. Senator Reed asserted that a quor um of the house was not in Washing ton when the senate passed the bill; that it therefore would have been im possible to pass the bill If amended in any particular, in time to avert the strike Monday and congress would be blamed for the disaster if It were not stayed in accordance with tho plana designed by house leaders. The majority of the senators ad mitted that they were afraid to change the dotting; of an "1" or th crossing of a "t" In the house bill, to fear that It might serve to forestall prevention of the strike. Error Almost Caused Walkout. Houston, Tex., Sept. 4. A strike of all trainmen on the Southern Paciflo lines in Louisiana and Texas was averted here by the timely discovery and correction of an error in tne oode message sent revoking the general railway strike order following the passage by congress of the eignt-flour law. The code message as received here by J. L. Morgan, chairman of the Southern Pacific Texas ana Louunansj lines, did not revoke the order to strike) and preparations were continuing fo the trainmen to quit work at S o'clocK this morning. The error fortunately was discovered, and another message was sent to Houston, resulting in the abandonment of strike plana ax 9 o'clock Saturday night. Just what the error was or how It occurred had not been disclosed early; today. Had Given Vp Hope. Punta Arenas, Chile, Sept. 4. Ma rooned members of the Hhackieton.

WHITE AND WELSH BOTH CONFIDENT OF WINNING Colorado Springs, Colo., Sept. 4. Welsh and White gave the fol lowing statements this morning after they were officially weighed at 9 a. m.: BY FREDDIE WELSH. I Freddie Welsh, world's light weight champion I think I stand In better condition today to win from White than in any of our three former battles. I am In good trim, feel great and bear no uneasi ness regarding the result. I do not underestimate my opponent. I realize that the battle will be hard but I think I can beat him easily and perhaps stop htm. BY CHARLEY WHITE. Charley White, challenger No man who ever fought a ring battle could possibly have felt better than I do today. I have trained hard for many weeks In the belief that I will take the title from Welsh and and I intend to do it today. I think my big chance has come to bring the title back to America and I'm sure Welsh is due to be beaten. That's all. I'm not afraid of the result.

Nearly all of the vaca tionists, frightened' by the prospect. returned home the latter part of last week. The Saturday Union Pacific trains were crowded with those who believed in "safety first."

GROWN AT STAKE (Continued from Page One.) from Denver, taking; advantage of the holiday; farmers and ranchers from the western slope and the eastern plains choked the streets with their autos and wagons. It was estimated that at least 8,000 fans will scramble for seats in the arena before the first preliminaries started at 2 p. m. Two preliminaries were arranged. Benny Garcia of Denver and "Swede" John son of Pueblo, welterweights, will open the card in a six-round match. Stewart Donnelly of Indianapolis and Prahkie Murphy of Denver, -were o fight ten rounds and then the; big fight. The seconds for Welsh's corner were Harry Pollok, hi3 manager, Charlie Rose, his trainer, Fireman Jim Flynn and Eddie Hennessy. The men in White's corner were Nate Lewis, his manager, Joe J. nomas, nis trainer, iius Lapp of Chicago and Jack Kanner of Denver. So far as is known this Is the first time in the ring's historv that a cham pionship tilt has been fought in a boozeless land. The lack of intoxicat ing beverages may be the cause of -so little actual betting, but the reeling atmosphere is getting all the blame for the mind wagers which are the ex asperating rule. No really big bets have been re ported. Numerous freak bets have been laid, but 'he staggering stakes of other years are not to be heard about. Johnny Kling, the former Chi cago Cub catcher, and other Kansas City sportsmen were expected to ar rive today with $2,500 to lay that White knocks Welsh out. A report of the coming of $7,500 in Chicago money to be wagered similarly was received Sunday. Kilbane-Chaney Boot. Cedar Point, Ohio, Sept. 4.

One significant reason for this is that six of the important financial in stitutions of Topeka arc not in the Topeka clearing house, so that thou sands of checks which should pass through the clearing house are never entered in Topeka. This is the reason that every week the Topeka clearances show up In the papers all over the United States as insignificant com pared with those of other cities of our class. It is hoped that the new Kansas Reserve State bank can remedy this situation and help unite all of the banks, including the state treasurer's office and the Santa Fe treasurer's office, into a real clearing house ex change.

There 11 be no strike today." Another accomplishment of the Wlson administration that i decided ly worth while is the enactment by cor.gress of the national child labor bill, and its consummation into a law t the land thru the medium of the presidential signature. But it would be unfair, perhaps, to give the Wilson administration full credit for this most desirable piece of legislation. All measures of such progressive and im portant caliber take a "Ion time to make their way finally thru congress, an,l this particular piece of legislation has been almost on tne edge of suc cess In preceding congres-es. And alter all, perhaps the real credit for the accomplishment of this legislation belongs with national child labor committee whose efforts in Its behalf have been as untiring for many years as they have been intelligent. Governor Hughes is quite as handy with words as the next man, and he puts the force of conviction behind them when he writes them or speaks thm. But his entire public career has also been one of deeds as v. ell as words. He has always done the things at hand as best he could and his ac pompllshments in the public service have usually been signal and decided ly worth while. In his speech accept ing the Democratic presidential nom ination President Wilson observed: There is no means of Judging the future except by assessing the past." Applying that rule to the campaign vtterances of Governor Hughes, It is r.o more than reasonable to suggest that the people have every cause to be confident that the Republican presidential candidate will do what he ays he will do. And when he says, as he did in Topeka: "Show me an abuse and I will do my share toward cutting it out." it would seem unwar ranted for any one, even a political enemy of the distinguished New York er, to assert that such an observation or declaration is nothing more than mere campaign buncombe. War or no war, Russia is going ahead with her plans for a Prosthesis exposition which will open its doors at 7 Rue Tsatitsinskays, fetrograd, on September 14, and exhibitors who do not have their displays set up by the end of this week will have to wait for the next exposition of this sort to show their wares, as the space assigned to them will then be transferred to other exhibitors who were more forehande'd. As a matter of fact, tho, Russia prob ably would not have arranged for this exposition had it not been for the great war. Mr. Webster's dictionary comes to the rescue with the informa tion that prosthesis means the addi tion to the human body of some arti ficial part to replace one wanting, as a leg, eye or tooth. Perhaps it might be just as well to keep the record straight. A Kansas contemporary of the State Journal's that may be inclined to be a trifle par "fisan at times indulged in an editorial discussion recently- of the stand that the Woman's party had taken and which is favorable to the candidacy of Mr. Hughes and antagonistic to Mr. Wilson's pursuit of a second term. In the course of the editorial in question. these statements are made: "To work for suffrage in the present campaign they (the Woman's party) must op pose President Wilson and candidates for congress, because the Democrats effer them no hopes of a national suf frage amendment. The Republicans on the contrary, have endorsed suf frage and Governor Hughes, the Re publican presidential candidate, ia an open champion of the national suf frage amendment." It is true that the Republicans have endorsed wo man's suffrage, but the Republicans as a party and in their recent national convention assembled did not endorse a national woman's suffrage amend roent. On this woman's suffrage ques- tion tbe current Republican national platform reads: "The Republican party favors the extension of the suffrage to women, but recognizes the right of each state to settle this question for itself." Governor Hughes has come out flat-footed in favor of a national woman's suffrage amend ment, but it does not appear that the Republicans, or the Republican party h&s. ANOTHER GAS FUROR. Crying over milk that's been spilled was never known Neither to mend the broken pitcher, or bottle, or to re cover any of the milk. And such observations seem to be applicable to the present frenzy in cer tain quarters hereabouts over the new schedule of rates that has been put in force by the receivers for the Kansas Natural Gas company and its subsid iary distributing concern. Possibly this action of these receiv ers is as "insolent" as the proposed rates are held to be "outrageous," but the Important fact yet remains that this "insolence" and these "out rages" probably never would have l-een heard of if the question of rais ing the natural gas rates, that has been hanging fire for some three years now, had been handled in a practical and business-like manner by public au thority In Kansas, which in this in stance is the state's public utilities commission, and at the head of which and whose guiding genius teems to be Joseph L. Bristow, of Salina, and who was appointed to this position by Gov ernor Arthur Capper. If memory serves, and during the earlier stages of this pas rate con troversy, the gas company, or subse quently its receivers, would have been satisfied had the public utilities com mission granted it a net ratae of 35 cents per thousand. The gas company, or its receivers asked for this rate in order that the company might be put on a sound financial basis, on a dividend paying basis and which would have restored its credit and permitted it to raise the money necessary to extend its mains to new gas fields and thereby increase the supply of gas for the winter months, and when a reasonably good supply of gas is so desirable. But the public utilities commission knew better, or possibly it thought it would be a popular political move for it to take the stand that the gas com pany wanted to get-rich-quick, and that- the rate it asked was excessive and especially when the utilities com missioners were able to figure it out that a 28-cent rate would be suffi cient for all the purposes of tiie gas company, including the expenditures recessary to add' materially to the vol ume of the gas supply. This was the rate, anyhow, that the public utilities commission granted and then only after many, many months of -deliberation and during which period the affairs of the gas company were kicked hither and yon in this court and that one, and much to the pecuniary pleasure of a large company of lawyers on both sides of the case, and who obtained fat fees for varying services from the tottering exchequer of the gas company. The announcement of this 28-cent rate decision by the public utilities commission was the signal for the gas company to show its teeth. There is always a last straw for every camel's back. The federal courts were appealsd to and with the results that are current gas history and well known to every body, namely, that anything under 32 cents would-be confiscatory. Isn't the 28-cent talk by politicians absurd? And the new rates that are an nounced by the local gas company for the immediate future are addi tional fruits of this federal court pro cedure, as well as of the short-sighted manner in which this gas question has been handled from Its very beginning by state authority. Inasmuch as hundreds of families in Topeka use only 1,000 feet or less for cooking, they are not affected by the new rate. Coincident with the announcement of these new local rates comes the ether announcement that the Kansas Natural Gas company cannct hope to have a much better gas supply for this winter than it did for last v,-inter. But was anything else to be expect. cd Certainly it has been pointed out repeatedly in these columns that the state officials, who may have been playing political football with this gas rate question, appeared to be working along the same lines this summer that they did last summer and the summer before; namely, that they would so de lay, in one way or another, a final settlement of the gas rate controversy that there would not be sufficient time left for the gas company to extend Its mains to newly leased gas fields and increase the gas supply for this winter, even if it were able to obtain the means to do so. REVISING COMMANDMENTS. The forthcoming General Convenv tion of the Protestant Episcopal Church, a triennial assemblage which will meet at St. Louis this fall, will have before it a proposal emanating from a commission of bishops, clergy r-nd laymen to alter the form of the Ten Commandments as they are now printed in the Catechism and the Communion Office of this church. This commission reports in favor of shortening the'eoramandments by the emission of the time-honored reasons for their observance. Such changes will affect the first five commandments so that thay will lead as follows: 1 Thou shalt have none other gods but me. 2 Thou shalt not make to 'thyself any graven image, nor the likeness of anything that is In heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor in the wa ter -under the earth thou shalt not bow down to them, nor worship them 3 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. 4 -Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath Day. 5 Honor thy father and thy mother. Recommendation for these changes has been made by the commission for the reason that the arguments for the observance of these divino laws are not parts of the commandments them selves; they were peculiar to the na tional life of the Israelites, and changed conditions have robbed the arguments of much of their weight. This'proposal is not so radical as it appears on tha surface, according to its promulgators, even tho it will be so considered by many, perhaps, and will stir up considerable discussion in the religious world. The Ten Commandments, it is pointed out by those who would re vise them as outlined, were printed in this shortened form in the first Prayer Book of the Anglican Church pub lished in 1649, and also in the Prayer Book used in the Episcopal Church of Scotland today. 1 JJOUKNAL EHOTES These fat men that nobody is said to love seem to have a pretty jolly time of it. Marking time is also worth while if it be preliminary to a start in the right direction. Fooling all of the people any of the time is a much more difficult job than it used to be. Honest poverty probably has larger attractions for those who do not have to worry along under it. It is all right lor the theorists to urge cheerfulness in adversity, but would they show such goods them selves if an occasion gave them the opportunity. JATOAWim JOTS "Wherever conditions are similar, it follows that just about the same situa tions exist. Max, one of the writers for the Clay Center Economist, ob serves: "Some auto drivers seem to assume that pedestrians have no busi ness? on the streets." And possibly it is also true of Clay Center as it is of Topeka and other places that at least a few pedestrians appear to labor un der the delusion that none of the automobilists1 has the slightest right to use the streets for the operation of his car. Volume I, number 1 of the Hunter Herald, published in the town of Hun ter, Mitchell county, has just put in an appearance. Eola Thompson is the editor of this possibly newest of Kan sas weeklies and C. W. Wells- is its publisher. It begins its career as a four-column, four-page paper, mostly home prin, and considerably more than half of its first issue is devoted to local display advertising. A real cowpuncher from Texas, clad in cowboy raiment of the most expensive kind, a silk shirt, a fifteen dollar dicer, a pair of hand-carved leather boots, and good-looking khaki, made a social call at the yard office Tuesday, reports the Caldwell News On his shirt front blazed a carat spar kler, another blazed on his hand. To better balance himself he toted a six shooter on one hip and a dirk on the other, all in plain sight. In one hip pocket he carried a pint of firewater and in the other a roll of over one thousand dollars of honest-to-goodness United States currency. And, Gladys, what do you think the gentleman's name is? Red Eye Bill? I should say not. No less a personage than Mr. Lovelady of Texas, enroute to Kansas City with ten-carloads of fat tened steers. GLOBE SHG1TS tFrom the Atchison Globe.J Taking the worst of it is often a big dividend payer. Some men brag on themselves by knocking on others. Generosity is easy for those who haven't got it to give. Your prejudices and your opinions are apt to be a good deal alike. Generally speaking, a demagog is an orator who is lined up with the opposi tion. It may be said in favor of a fight that it doesn't usually last as long as other forms of argument. The habit of politeness may be formed as easily as the habit of rude ness, and is apt to be more helpful. No humorous effort ia necessary to produce laughter if the audience is composed of Young Things of the gig gling age. Constantly fighting for your rights is apt to cut into the time one might devote to enjoying such privileges as he already has. A good many things will happen to cure a young man of conceit, but in some the malady is so deepseated that there is no remedy. Oenatured alcohol never accom plished as much as was expected of it. but the other kind continues to do considerable business. It is a' woman's opinion that many men devote so much patience to fish ing that they haven't an adequate sup ply left for the home life. POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

How much happiness married peo ple (and others) lose, how much en ergy they waste, because they do not learn to take certain things about each other for granted! A couple who have been married between forty and fifty years were staying at the establishment where I spent part of my summer. One day he asked her if she knew where the book he had been reading had disappeared to. "I simply laid it down," he said, "and now I can't 'find it." "Isn't it somewhere in our room up stairs?" she asked. "Nq," he said, "I've Just been look ing up there." She went up and came down with the book in less than a minute. "Right on top of the trunk," she said, "in perfectly plain sight. I don't see how you could miss it. I never saw. anyone so unobserving in my life. You must look for things with your elbows." She went on in the same strain for two or three minutes until her hus hand got up and went into the house, declaring that he would never ask her to look for anything again, he'd rather go without it. Of course people who cannot find things (or will not make the necessary effort personally I think that a kind of mental laziness has a good deal to do with the inability) are exasperat ing. But when you have lived with a person forty years and found out that that is one of his unchangeable char acteristics, what. is the use of fretting and fuming every time he manifests it? I believe that married folks should try to elp each other overcome their faults. And mind you, I don't mean by censorious fault-finding, but by helping them In a kindly spirit to see the failings and then by encourage ment and forbearance and by noticing and praising every effort to overcome. But when it becomes evident in the course of human events that certain faults are a practically ineradicable part of the housemate's character, isn't it infinitely wiser to take them for granted instead of fussing and fretting about them every time they manifest themselves? Especially when they are minor faults that don't really make such a lot of difference unless you let them? (Copyright by George Matthew Adams.) Thai MIImIhtim.

Kirk in Cincinnati Commer cial-Tribune. r EVENING STORY As Lydia Liked It. (By Catherine Cranmer.) Being accustomed dally to the ad miration of Impressionable young men under twenty-five, Lydia did not set a high value upon it. She accepted It as casually as she did strawberries or cantaloupe in season pleasing and desirable but not indispensable. On the first evening of a house party at Mrs. Hornsby'a charming mountain cottage, Lydla was taken in to dinner by Jack Madison, who had taken urns at teasing her and mak ing love to her for years. Her neigh bor on the other side was Stanley Barnes, a dignified man of perhaps thirty-five, who had the double dis tinction of being a successful lawyer and a remarkable Shakespearean scholar. "Dear me. Jack," said Lydia, in a dramatic undertone, "tell me some thing from Shakespeare quick! Some thing I can throw in lor good meas ure when talking to my distinguished neignoor on the other side." 'Frailty, thy name is woman,' quoted Jack promptly. 'Take him for all and all, he was a man,' snapped Lydia, "and there- lore ready to find fault with woman.' "Better not start anything with that wiseacre, said Jack, still smil ing at Lydla's quick retort. "It will be wasted sweetness on your part and intellectual condescension on his. Be sides, I saw you first and I love you.' "Just for that!" Lydia indignantly ignored Jack's avowal of his love and turned tc Stanley Barnes with a win ning smile in her sparkling brown eyes. "Mr. Barnes, do you think the Shakespearean revival this year will tend to ceate a mora general inter est in the immortal bard?" Stanley Barnes lifted his eyebrows and opened his gray eyes wide in sur prise as he turned to reply. He would not have been more surprised had the austere teacher of English who was his dinner partner and his host's sister suddenly asked him if he didn't adore some popular matinee idol. "Why'er, I hope so, Miss Parker," said Mr. Barnes, doubtfully, and Lydia mistook his slowness in answer ing for the intellectual condescension Jack had predicted. The truth is.that Stanley Barnes was thinking what a charming Katharine qr Rosalind this vivacious questioner of his would make, but Jack and the teacher of English just then Joined forces to take their minds from Shakespeare and, later, when her distinguished neighbor addressed Lydia, he touched upon lighter themes. She inwardly deter mined that she would some day com pel that "terrific highbrow" to recog nize her as something more than a doll baby in conversation. "Please let your lamps rest on a poor devil of a lowbrow," said Jack, sotto voce, as they rose from the table. "I'm beginning to feel aa much of a dead one aa 'Alas, poor Yorick,' ever was." Lydia caught the teasing note in Jack's voice and ignored his plea. "Evidently, 'The rest is silence,' said Jack, marveling as much as Lydia at his fund of quotations from Shakes peare. The next morning Lydia crawled out of bed early to take a peep at the mountain sunrise, and she saw Stanley Barnes in khaki and heavy shoes and puttees setting out for a climb all alone. Being already in an adventur ous mood, she decided to take an earnly morning ramble herself, and who knew but she might meet the in teresting, if indifferent, Mr. Barnes as he returned? .,!'Wh,'it are you UD to Lydia?" called Alice Mason, sleepily, from the twin bed beside the one Just vacated bv Lydia. "Up to see the sun rise. Don't you want to come, too?" "No, indeed," came the sleeov re sponse as Alice turned over and drew mo covers close aDOut ner neck. In her corduroy suit and high brown boots Lydia started out for a elimb. The cool stillness of the early morning made ner feel v ry tiny and helpless, but as the sunlight warmed her body and brightened the coppery tints in her hair, she was once more seized with the spirit of adventure, and went high and higher, with eyes uteri mr an trie oeauties around her. She forgot all about the man who had preceded her up this mountain road way. The odor of the pines, the sing ing of the birds, and the broad view of mountain and valley gave her a sensation of an absolute completeness of things, and she stood long with her bare head held high and her brown eyes sparkling with pleasure. "It's absolutely perfect!" she said aloud.- "Nothing more is needed." "I agree with you. Miss Parker, yet I hope it will not mar the perfection of it if I join you in enjoying It." Stanley Barnes was standing on a large boulder almost directly above Lydia's head, and when she looked up and met the smiling question in his eyes she answered it with a frank smile that brought him quickly to her side. They stood silently looking at the changing lights on the distant hills and listening to the occasional whir of the fitful morning wind among the pines. "Words are sadly unequal to all this," said Lydia, throwing out her hand to indicate the sweep from zenith to horizon. 'For we, which now behold these present days. Have eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise.' Lydia was unfamiliar with this quo tation, but she felt its aptness so keen ly that unconsciously she slipped her hand into Stanley's as her sign of acquiescence without words. "Hey, there!" came Jack Madison's voice from far below. "Come down to earth and have breakfast!" With a sigh they left the loveliness that surrounded them there and obeved Jack's unromantic summons. When they Joined the rest of the guests on the sun porch for breakfast Jack saw a serious light in Lydia's eyes that caused him to close his lips so determinedly that Bis boyish smile was obliterated. That night, for the fourth and last time, he proposed to- Lydia and was refused with more firmness than she hud shown on any of the three former occasions. .His white face and tightly set lips as they re-entered the drawing room from the porch made Lydia feel sorry for him. She liked his boyish impulsiveness, but had never relished his teasing and his habitual attitude of refusing to take her seriously. Seeing Mrs. Hornsby corral Jack for a bridge game, Lydia slipped from the rcom to avoid being similarly cap tured. She threw a soft white wool shawl about her and returned to the porch. The round, white moon was Just emerging from behind the black ness of the mountains. She stood quite still for a few moments think ing of all the pleasures she had en Joyed with Jack, but felt that she had been right in refusing him. "The man I marry must have enough seriousness to recognize what little bit there is of it in me, she mused, "and Jack is even more friv olous than I." Then she recalled how Stanley Barnes had that morning recognized her as she had resolved the evening before to make him recognize her as something more than a doll baby, or a chattering society sparrow. At the sound of a step on the porch, she turned and recognized the man who was in her thoughts approaching her. Are you also a refugee from bridge?" he asked. "May I join you?" "Yes," Lydia answered both of his questions with one word. "I suppose it was rude, but I couldn't endure the thought of bridge tonight. I seemed to hear the bigness of things outside calling me." As Stanley joined her where she stood at the railing,- she added, "I defy even your Mr. Shake speare to find words to describe the loveliness of this night." 'As you like it,' lady fair," said Stanley, with a deferential bow, and so they stood there for a time in wordless enjoyment of the picture be fore them. When Mrs. Hornsby"s ample form appeared in the doorway and her voice called back to her guests that she was going to find those truants and punish them by making them "man the music machine" they knew that their little hour was over, but went in without reluctance, for Lydia had already assured Stanley that life, as he asked her to share it with him, yould be just as she liked it and the very first record she put on the ma chine was "It Was a Lover and His Lass." (Copyright, 1916, by the Mc Clure Newspaper Syndicate.) DINNER STORIES It is said that Mr. Asquith has only once been known to laugh outright -orhan nn nublic platform.

Then a man in the audience stood up, and, pointing to the farmer with the straw hat, shouted: "It was him wi' the coo'e break fast on his head!" The reply was altogether too much for Mr. Asquith, and he had to join in the general roar of laughter. The two weary wayfarers were resting along the road after escaping an unpleasant situation with an irasci ble dog. "You know, Horace, I sometimes think that what with all the walking and the poor food in some places and the stingy farmers' wives and dogs they chase on you and everything, our life's mighty near as hard as if we worked fer a livin'."

They didn't go very far dear me, no! Bushy knew better than that! He might run into danger by him self, but when he had the care of Little Brother Beaver he was as care ful as careful could be, you may be sure. He wandered only a little way down the banks of the creek, keeping his sharp eyes open for food on the way. He had just spied a clump of small seedlings growing close by the water and looking very appetizing, when a gruff voice close by shouted, "Who goes there?" Bushy Jumped as though he was shot, and Little Brother squealed and snuggled close up to Bushy. "Who goes there?" repeated the voice sternly. "Just us," replied Bushy meekly. "Us," said the voice. "Who's us?" "I'm Bushy Beaver and this is Lit tle Brother Beaver and Father and Mother Beaver are close by the creek and we are hungry and we're hunting a new home and we won't hurt anybody, and who are you?" said Bushy breathlessly.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 4, 1916 GOMPERS LAUDS WILSON'S STAND IN STRIKE FIGHT Takes Shot at Hughes for Dan bury Hatters' Decision. Says Nothing to Debate on Re cent 8-Hour Demand. PHYSICAL WELL BEING, ISSUE Denounces Arbitration as Means of Beating Unions. Labor Day Finds Unions Stronger Than Ever Before. Lewiston, Maine. Sept. 4. In a La dor day address here, Samuel Gomp ers, president of the American Feder ation or Labor, praised President Wilson's administration for its achievement in the interest of labor movement and denounced the deci sions of the supreme court iu the Danbury Hatters and Arizona anti alien law cases, which he pointed out, were participated in by Charles E. Hughes, the Republican Tiomine?. In a lengthy discussion of the threatened railway strike, he defend ed the attitude of the brotherhoods and, while he praised President Wil son for his efforts to settle the con troversy, he unqualifiedly denounced any attempt at legislation to compel arbitration. "The demand of the railroads brotherhood is a clear cut issue." he said. "They now make the simple demand that their lives and their ohysical well being be protected and that they shall be required only to work such a reasonable period of time as industrial experience has shown to be expedient. For the right hour principle has been universally accept ed by society. The 8-hour workman is a better, a more resourceful, a more productive worker than the one v.-ho labors long hours. 8-Hour Pay a Fundamental l'rln iple. "The railroad brotherhoods have not refused to accept arbitration. They have declared that the eight hour work day involves a principle of hu man welfare that cannot be disputed and therefore cannot be arbitrated. They are willing to submit every other issue, all of which are arbitrable, to a mutual satisfactory tribunal. In this position they are in accord with every organization or organism that has ever declared for the principle of arbitra tion. Now even the most extravagant advocate of world peace thru the pro cess of arbitration does not include certain fundamental principles as not justifiable or not arbitrable. The rn road brotherhoods are standing firmly for a fundamental principle of human, welfare. "The railroad men presented their demands and made their fight In a simple, direct manner. They have re lied entirely upon their economic or ganization, 'iney nave not sougni any rpecial privilege, any legal protection or endeavored to utilize any govern mental agency to establish their Just demands. They have secured atten tion and won favor to their cause be cause back of their contentions was an organization that represented pow er and service. Makes Striker a Criminal. They have made a virile, straight forward fight, and they deny that rail raod i residents or managers ought to be given the special privilege or the advantage that would accrue from compulsory abitration. Their position is in accord with the position of the American Federation of Labor. 'Compulsory arbitration or so-called Investigation is simply a way to re strain free necessary action on the part of wage earners and to make them more easily dominated by em ployers.1 It only makes the striker a criminal and gives authority for jailing workers who quit work. "Employers appreciate the impor tance of the shorter work day; they know that it means more independent workmen, workmen not so readily held in submission. It is necessary for the protection and the best interests of the workers to whom the law will Pply. as well as to all of the workers of the state, that every man shall do his best, that every woman in Maine shall aid to secure the approval of this act.

"The labor movement represents the great desire of the masses of people for more freed om, for justice, for a better and a higher life. "As the labor movement progresses slowly there have emerged principles of humanity, freedom and justice. There is not a demand of labor that does not represnt years of suffering, struggle and heartburning desire. "To be the advance guard of jus tice and new ideals and to work out new principles and to try to estab lish these in the common life of all men they have refused to believe that property should be granted in legal moitgage on human opportunity: they have refused to submit to the mort gage of property rights and the tra ditions of property rights which -restrict and narrow developments of higher and better JdaaU an i limit men's lives, souls and opportunities. "In a word tho the trade union movement may to some be seemingly a slow course in the attaining of the rights and the justice and the free dom to which the toilers are entitled, but it is the sure growth. It has in it all the elements of the human heart, human brain and the human soul. It goes down to the deepest, depths of misery and helps to lift up the submerged that they may take their places side by side with the great struggling masses of the toilers."

Three Reach London Extent of Damage Unknown. London, Sept 4. The shooting down of a Zeppelin, one of a large number of German raiders on the east coast of England last night has caused much enthusiasm among the British because of the indication thus given of the efficacy of the air de fenses protecting London. According to the latest reports, the airships, al tho they dropped many bombs, did lit tle damage. Thirteen Zeppelin airships took part in the air raid over the eastern coun ties. It was the most formidable at tack by air ever- made on England. Only three of the Zeppelins were able to approach to the outskirts of Lon don. One of these was shot down and the other two were driven off by aircraft guns and aeroplanes. Find Wrecked Dirigible. The war office official report In part says: Three airsnips oniy were aoie 10 approach the outskirts of London. One of them appeared over the Northern district, about 2:1 B In the morning, where she was picked up by search lights and heavily engaged by anti aircraft guns and aeroplanes. .After a few minutes the airship was seen to burst into flames and fall rapidly to ward the earth. The ship was de stroyed, the wreckage, engines and half burned bodies of the crew beins found at Cufley, near Enfield. 'Experts hope to reconstruct cer tain portions of the framework. The large amount of wood employed in the framework of the Zeppelin is startling and would seem to point to a short age of aluminum in Germany." 92 LABOR LAWS Cont!nnd from Page One. more important Items of labor legisla tion in various states follows: "Three states, Maryland, Massachu setts and South Carolina, concerned themselves with the legal regulation of collective bargaining. In Maryland a state board is authorized to prescribe rules- of procedure for arbitration of industrial disputes including power to conduct investigations and hold hear ings, to summon witnesses and enforce their attendance, to require the pro duction of books, documents and pa pers, and administer oaths, exercising these powers to the same extent that1 such powers are possessed by the civil courts of the state.' South Carolina created a board of three members to investigate and to promote agreements in strikes and lockouts at the rate of 810 per day each. Massachusetts amended her law regulating the pro curing of strikebreakers. States on Child Labor, Too. "During the year seven of the eleven states holding regular legislative ses sions passed new or strengthened old laws affecting child labor. Shorter hours, a. higher minimum age, pro hibition of night work and exclusion from hazardous employments are the main tendencies. South Carolina raises the mininmnm work age from 12 to 14, while Massachusetts and New J or sey make special provision for pupils who study part-time in vocational schools and may then work part time. 'Impelled by recent accidents New Jersey has joined the list of states re quiring passenger elevators to have Interlocking device automatically pre venting movement of elevator car un til shaft door is closed and securely fastened. "Following the limitation of work ing hours on public work to eight a day In the majority of the states, Massachusetts this year provides for her public employes the further lim itation of the forty-eight hour week. In private employment several states place additional safeguards around the employment of women and children during the Christmas shopping sea son, and Massachusetts is to Investi gate the possibilities of one day of rest in seven for employes in hotels and restaurants. On Employers Trail. "South Carolina and Virginia patch ed up their employers' liability laws while Kentucky enacted the most pro gressive workmen's compensation law in any southern state. Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York strengthened their compensation laws without, however, equaling the new national law for injured federal employes which is termed 'the most scientific and most liberal workmen's compensation law in the world.' Maryland enacted a mother's pension law and Massachu setts created a commission on social insurance to study sickness, unemploy ment and old age and to recommend insurance legislation next January. "The reorganization and unification of the administration of labor laws continues, the most noteworthy changes this year being in Maryland and New Jersey where steps were tak en toward consolidation of factory in spection and workmen's compensation administration."

Maurice Pettlt's explanation to police today for the murder of hla beautiful 20-year-old bride of a month.

He is now a closely guarded patient at the Bridewell hoi pital as a result of a desperate at tempt to escape from a train en route here.

"She still lives as you and I do," Pettit told police. "When I killed her I did It materially, not spiritually." "Other men called at the flat and talked to her," said Pettit, "I was jealous of her. 1 was wrong in that. She was always good and pure." Pettit was captured at a farmhouse near Detroit.

AB R H rn By takins both ends or aiurai doubleheader from Jimmy Jackson's Wolves by the scores of 9 to 5 and 8 in 5 nnd then bv splitting even on Sunday's twin bill, Manager Engle's j Savages succeeded in taking the last Wolf series of the season in Topeka, and, incidentally, made it pretty cer tain that Wichita will not be able to VXinish above Topeka when the end of .the season arrives. The Savages have held eleven en gagements with Jimmy Jackson's team Vin Topeka since the opening of the season, and the victory in the final game gave them the edge, Topeka having won 6 and Wichita o. Alth.i Enele is handicapped by hav ing both Cochran and DeB'ate out of the lineup and by naving to use piicn ers and catchers to fill in, the team has been playing practically as good ball as before Tony and George were "lut out, and a little better pitching Sunday would have made a clean eweep f the final Wichita series. Pitching the Problem. In Saturday's games Henning and ,r Sanders were fairly effective, and the balance of the team hit hard behind them, but Hall had a hard time of it Sunday and the blame for the loss of the first game rests entirely upon him. He did not make a very favorable im pression in the first inning, and after allowing five hits that counted three runs in the second, he was relieved by Murwell in the third after Litschi had touched him for a homer. Bur- well did lairly well, but the game was already lost and the only thing that prevented Davis getting a shut out was the fact that Burwell and Agler bunrtied a triple and a single in the seventh, and these with the aid of an infield out countel pair of runs. In no other inning did Davis allow more than one blow. The second game, which the Sav ages took 10 to 4, furnished the real -entertainment of the afternoon and was chucked full of excitement and diversions from the first. Hall was -again sent to the mound by Kngle, and he gave a better account of him- felf than in the first game, altho at times he was punctured rather ruth lessly. Craig, a Texas southpaw, dus up in a mattress factory by an auto .salesman, was pitted uguin Hall by 5Mr James, and he looked retty good until tne team went to pieces behind Virn- Then he apptared to .ive up -,,and became reconciled to his fate, liitsc-lil Repeats. Hall was niched for two blows and Tt run in the first inning. In the sec ond, IJtschi, who had gotten a homer Tin the other gam.1, poled one over the fence in the same place and trotted 9kell Metz nd krueger. iihead of him. The Savages scored t'..eir first run in the second round on an error by White and a single by Allen. They added two more in the third when -White booted two more chances and o thoroly disgusted Jackson that the PO 1

ADDITIONAL SPORT WILL BE FOUND ON OTHER PAGES BY FRANK G. MEXKE. New York, Sept. 4. Have you no ticed that the bulk of the .pitching stars in the major leagues are young sters; kids in their early twenties, who have been in the big show only three or four years at the most?. This is especially true of the Ameri can league. Look over the pitching averages the next time they come to your attention and you will note that among the first thirty names you will find less than half a dozen veterans. The National has a greater flock of oldtimera than the junior league, yet its most successful hurlers are the kids. Below is a list of pitchers selected from both circuits that proves conclu sively that the bulk of star mounds men 'are youngsters; that the day of the veteran is over. True, there are a few oldtimers such as Hughes, Plank, Groom and Rucker who are still pitching; but theirs is little more than a last gasp effort. If they were placed upon the market it is doubtful if much of a bid would be made for anyone of them. But this list shows pitchers who would command a king's ransom on the auction block. They are the men from whom the choice would be made in picking an all-star staff and the strangest feature of it is that only one Johnson has served as long as ten years. Alexander, Toney and Harry Covesleskl are tied for second place among the "veterans" with six years each, but all the others have served shorter periods in the majors. The IJst. 5 5Vi 122 !S 34U 37

With two strikes on him, Joe refused to bat until he was allowed to examine the ball. H took it in his hands, turned it over, moved his lips like he was talking to it, then returned it to Davis. And, on the next delivery he polled out a triple, his only hit of the game. The assertion is frequently mads that the Savages play their poorest ball on Sundays when they have tha largest at home ,...,,.,1 h.. seems that they do, but the records show that they have, lost only two more Sunday games in Topeka thua "avc won. Sunday Records. Since the opening of the season fif teen Sunday games have been played at Savage park. Of these six havei been won, eight lost and one tied. But, to the average Sunday patron it seems worse than this. Some of the Wichita players ex pressed the opinion befoie leaving To peka that the Western league season would be brought to a close after to day's games. But. if this belief ex ists anywhere outside of Wichita, it has been kept quiet. In another week football activities will be on in earnest in practically ev ery 3chool In the country.

Today will see the opening; on a modest scale of football practice among: the schools of the Bg Nine conttrence, comprising Chicago, Purdue, Indiana, Chio State, Northwestern, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois universities. The call for football material was sent out last week by coaches in all the schools, who want their players under their guiding; wing soon. Discussion of new rules and new styles of play occupied the training camps today. The most important change in the rules of the game is the one pertaining zo the safety. The rule as n now appears provides that the man carrying the ball cannot be forced back from his most advanced position. A gain once made cannot be lost thru pushing by the opposition. This rule probably will almost entire ly eliminate the safety Coaches also declare it will prevent injuries to backfield men and will give light teams a much better chance against heavier opponents. Another rule to prevent injuries this year is that opposition players will not be allowed to charge a man at tempting, to catch a punt, his activi ties being restrained to batting or catching the ball.

And you can try it sixty days -make a thorough prove-It-to-you test without having to risk a penny. If It doesn't hold if It' doesn't keep your rupture from bothering you in any way1 then it won't cost you a single cent. The Only Thins Good Enough to Stand Such a Test You know a well as wer that you can't tell anything about a truss or anything else for rupture merely oy trying it on.

The only way in the world you can mafce sure of exactly what you're getting la by DAY-AFTER-DAY TEST. And out guaranteed rupture holder the famous Cluthe is the only thing of any kind whatever for mature that yon can 8pt on sixty days trial, the only thing OOD enough to STAND such a long and thorough test. Something Nothing Else Does The Cluthe is so utterly different from anything else for rupture that It has re ceived EIGHTEEN SEPARATE PATENTS. It provides the ONLY WAY EVER DIS COVERED for overcoming WEAKNESS which is the real CAUSE OF RUPTURE. just how It does that entirely auto matically Is all .explained in the free book.

They were trimmed in white satin bands and rows of tiny ruffles. They wore crownless picture hats of pink chiffon. Scattered effectively among the folds of the chiffon over the wide brims were pink forget-me-nots. Mrs. Vest, the bride's mother, was gowned in a becoming combination of black and white net. She wore a corsage of orchids and lilies of the valley. The house was decorated thruout in pink asters and ferns.

Even misery shuns his company." The Hlckeyvllle Clarion. The common council is making some money fer the town these days by rentin' out the hook and ladder to fellers that are tryin' to reach the high cost of livin' by painting church steeples. Rev. Hudnutt says the young peo ple of the Hard Shell church have got to stop writin' love letters in hymn books and passin: 'em along to their sweethearts. Some of the old folks git a hold of 'em occasionally and when they do their singin' sounds foolish. Ame Hilliker's nose is so red that it singes his mustache. Ame was brought up in a drug store county. Miss Pansy Tibbitts, our elocution ist, is thinkin' some of goin' on the stage and the folks around here hope she will, as it will take her away from home a good deal. About the most appetizin thing I know is to see a soda clerk with an apron on that looks like a pirate flag Luke Higgins has got the best oat mobile in the world, Imt he is willing to sell it at a sacrifice, as he wants to get a better one.
