Quotes Hughes and Wilson in Favor of It. Viscount Bryce Appeals Churches to Act. to Birmingham, Oct. 3. Viscount Bryce of Dechmont, former British ambassador at Washington, address ing: the Congregational union today, decried the spirit of hate against the Germans and the talk of a lasting trade war. In conclusion he advo cated a league to restrain aggression and compel arbitration. "If there is to be a recurrence of wars becoming more terrible with the unceasing advance of science," he said, "we may well despair of the future." Lord Bryce recalled that Premier Asquith, Sir Edward Grey and Mr. Balfour had expressed energetically and sincerely the need of such ma chinery and said that several groups of thinkers were working out the plans. L'nited States Policy of Isolation. "To establish any machinery for preserving peace." continued Lord Bryce, "would be impossible without the co-operation of the neutral states and especially the greatest of all the neutral states. We have been waiting and watching to see whether America would, in view of the immense inter ests at stake, depart from her old policy of complete isolation and bear her part in the effort for securing a permanent alliance for peace. An in fluential league for that purpose has already been formed there and now two momentous events have hap pened, on which I dwell because they have been little noticed here. "President Wilson delivered, four months ago, a powerful and luminous I speech in which he announced that the j United .States could net stand aloof i from a movement in which th highest interests of manhood were concerned, and that he felt sure the people of the United States were prepared to join In (Continued on I'dgt 2. 1 U-BOAT BIG ISSUE Carry Fight to Floor of Reich stag Thursday. Yon Tirpitz Party Bent on Un restricted Warfare Berlin, Oct. 3. Efforts of the Von Tirpitz party to force a resumption of submarine warfare will be defeated as the result of the conferences now be ing held in secret sessions of the reichstag committee, it is now gen erally believed. The Tirpitzites, how ever, hope to force a public discussion of the whole question when the reich stag reconvenes Thursday. Ernest Basserman, gray-haired na tional liberal party leader and one of the most important figures in the reichstag, declared today after the question has been aired in the budget committee meetings, it will be fully discussed in open session. We wish to live in peace and friendship with 'America, said Bas- sermen, "but undoubtedly there is bit ter feeling here because American supplies of ammunition enable our enemies to continue the war. If America should succeed in forcing England to obey international law, restore freedom of the seas and pro ceed with American energy against England's brutalization of neutrals, it would have a decisive influence on the political situation between the two countries. "Do you think submarine warfare will be renewed? he was asked. "That must be decided by the for eign office, the ministry of marine and the general staff," was the reply. "England is our chief enemy. We must recognize this and defeat her." GIRL WILLING TO GIVE ONE OF HER EYES TO SOLDIER Paris, Oct. 3. A young English girl has written to Dr. Rochen Duvigneaui offering to give one of her eyes to a soldier who has lost his sigh, serving France.' The girl, who lives In North Shields, had read a recent statement by Dr. Duvigneaud, one of the famous occulista in France, that it vas pos sible to save the sight of a man wounded in the eye ly grafting a por tion of the cornea of another person. In her letter she said: "If you believe there is one chance of success in a million, I will give you one of my eyes for a soldier who ht-.s lost his sight serving France, I wcul' prefer to give my eye to one to whom it would be especially useful, such as an inventor or an officer of great value.

HE ROLLED JFHOW A TABLE Later He Engaged in Fist Fight With a Prisoner. Blow Under Chin Sent Him Reeling to the Floor. Ed Bennett, who died in the city jail Saturday night, and whose death was attributed to a fall from a table while in an intoxicated condition, may haye been murdered. A coroner's jury, after delving into the evidence for three hours today, thought enough of it to continue the hearing until 9 o'clock Wednesday In order to secure testimony from other witnesses. The testimony today tended to show that while Bennett did fall from a table in the city jail, he walked around fcr half an hour after that and felt sufficiently spry to engage in a fist fight with a prisoner named Robert Frost, a light colored negro. Frost, it was testified today, struck Bennett on ,the chin, knocking hjm. down. He "did not rise after that. Lew Day and Dick Campbell, two men who were prisoners in the city jail Saturday night, told of Bennett's actions during the evening. Jumped Like a Monkey. They testified that he was brought in drunk and lay down on a table in the jail; that he rolled around and fell off the table but got up and walked around. Later, they said, he got into an altercation with another prisoner, who threatened to hit him with a shovel. Frost, they said, was on top of one of the cages, but dropped down while the row was on and struck Ben nett a blew on the chin. Bennett was placed in a bunk. The two prisoners said they all supposed he was simply drunk. He did not rouse up and early Sunday morning they noticed he was breathing too rapidly. They then reported his case to the jailer. Dr. H. L. Clark, city physician, took the stand and took up the thread of the story. He testified that when he called at the city prison Bennett was unconscious and was breathing rapid ly. He examined him carefully and found a discoloration back of the right ear, found a scalp wound on the back of the head and dried blood in the canal of the right ear. He called Dr. Merrill Lindsay and when he returned to Bennett the latter was dead. Dr. Lindsay went on the stand and told of the examination he made after Bennett died. He de scribed the fracture of the skull over the right ear and the blood clot which, he said, undoubtedly caused death. Dr. Clark expressed doubt that the injury could have been caused by fall ing from the table. Dr. Lindsay stated it was doubtful that the blow causing the fracture was directly over the fracture. Storm Moving North. Washington, Oct. 3. The weather bureau still awaited definite reports today on the weather disturbance off the east Florida coast.

CAUSED BY FOREIGN DEMAND Price of Flour Due to Shortage in xWheat Crop. Potatoes More Than Double Cost of Last Year. Washington, Oct. 3. Marked in creases in the cost of living is shown in the rising tendency of prices of foodstuffs on October 1, reports of which are just being received at the department of agriculture from the principal markets of the country. With flour selling at prices higher than at any time since the Civil war, due principally to the shortage of the wheat crop this year, the cost of potatoes has mounted for the same reason. Meat prices continue to ad vance with prices being paid pro ducers of meat animals showing al most 24 per cent over what was paid a year ago. Butter, eggs and cheese all are sell-! ing at higher prices for this time or the year than they were last year, ana beans show an increase of more than 70 per cent over a year ago because of the short crop. Onions are more than 50 per cent higher ana cabbages more than 40 per "nnt higher. Potatoes More Than Iouble. Butter was selling about 12 per cent higher than a year ago, according to the latest statistics available today at the department of agriculture. The price was one cent a pound higher than it had been in the last eigat years at this time of the year. Eggs were selling 5 centa a dozen higher than last year, but were lower for the period than in several of the last eight years. Potatoes were selling 116 per cent higher than a year ago. Cheese showed an increase in price of more than 23 per cent over a year ago and was higher than it had been in the last eight years, being 14 cents a pound more than the highest price in those years. Hogs were sell ing 25 per cent higher than a year ago, beef cattle more than 7 per cent high er, veal calves more than 10 per cent higher, sheep more than 8 per cent higher, and lambs more than 20 per cent higher. Chicago Records Broken. Chicago, Oct. 3.

Potatoes have advanced from 4 8 cents a bushel to $1.45; cabbage is selling for $3 a barrel as against 65 cents a year ago. Onions that sold for 60 cents a sack in 1915 are now bringing $1.35. Klour has increased more than 60 per cent in price within the last year. What are characterized as the high est prices ever known at this season of the year for butter and eggs at Chicago prevailed here today, accord ing to reports from merchants.

The Nichi Nichi Shimbun, in an extra edition, an nounces the cabinet of Premier Count Okuma has decided to resign. The premier is said to have stated that he would recommend "to the emperor the appointment of Viscount Takaaki Kato as his successor. Washington, Oct. 3. The resigna tion of Count Okuma has been ru mored for a long time, it was said at the Japanese embassy here today, but no official word has been received that the resignation has been tendered. I In the absence of such word em bassy attaches refused to discuss'-the j probable cause for the action of the 'cabinet premier. It is the belief here, j however, that Okuma's resignation re I suited from the fact that he had i ceased to have a controlling voice in ithe affairs of the Japanese govern- ment. The cabinet which he heads Is a coalition cabinet and he has not had a majority of supporters in it. Count Okuma offered his resignation more than a year ago along with the resig nations of the other members of his cabinet, but the emperor was un willing to accept it. Bribery Charges Brought. The premier's action resulted from ihe belief that he should hold himself responsible for the action of all mem bers of the cabinet which was then of his own organization. The emperor had accepted the resignation of Home Minister Oura, whose withdrawal resulted from charges of bribery, and the premier and others immediately offered to step down. The emperor summoned the elder statesmen into conference and afterward Okuma was urged to remain. Former Comptroller Dead. Chicago, Oct. Z. Edward S. Lacey, Chicago banker and former comptrol ler of the currency, died here last night. He was born in Chili, X. Y 81 years ago. He served two terms in congress, representing Michigan. Prevent Diverting Teutons to Stop Invasion of Bulgaria. 20,000 RUMANIANS CROSS Rainy Weather Halts Manea vers on Somme Front! Serbs Capture First Line Trenches Xear Fiorina London, Oct. 3. The Rumanian force which invaded Bulgaria Sunday is believed to be moving southward against the important Rustchuk Varna railway. The size of the army that crossed the Danube is not known here, but English military critics to- day declared they believed it was com posed of at least 20,000 men. They pointed out that a smaller force would be pinned against the bank of the river by the Bulgars and would meet the same fate as the Rumanian gar rison that attempted to retreat across the river from Tutrakan fortress.

Hughes and Wilson Promises. "Tvo months ago Mr. Charles E. Hughes, in accepting: the "nomination as candidate fcr the presidency by the Republican party, declared with no less force and no less sincerity that he was convinced, the lime had come for America, to unite with European countries in a well-considf-red scheme for applying-methods of arbitration and conciliation to securing general and permanent peace in the world. "Thus, the heads of the two great American parties, distinguished men and the official exponents of Ameri can opinion have promised the co operation of thei.- nation in this pro ject one of great difficulty no doubt, but also of supreme importance. "Our people and the statesmen who lead our people could have no greater encouragement to address themselves, when the time comes, to the enterprise, which they have al ready pronounced to be necessary. I atnk your help to bring the matter be fore the people and to show them how much we and every nation have to gain by removing the terror and the danger of war, which so long has hung like a black cloud over Europe. The churches could do no more truly Christian work. Would End War Vorevcr. r,et not this war have been fought in vain. I-et us search for and try to put into practice some kind of scheme tor reducing and if possible, at last for ending this oldest and most ter rible scourge of mankind." Lord Bryce aid the country was virtually unanimous in holding that the war must be pursued to victory so complete as to open the prospect of an enduring peac?, and added: "On the terms of that treaty the people will insist and ought to insist on expressing their opinion and the churches must do their part in help ing to form it," He declared that the precepts of Christianity coincide with those of political wisdom tnd that the churches should work for national unity and good feeling between the classes. mrs. blatchITere 'Continned from Page One.) pire state from my feet," Mrs. Blatch said today, "because I wish to form and register my own political opin ions. Why did I choose Kansas from among the other suffrage stages? Be cause from my childhood days Kan sas has personified for me the word liberty. My father, Henry Brewster Stanton, one of the early abolitionists, used to make my young blood tingle with accounts of the fight to keep Kansas a free-soil state. Her people were always liberty, loving. "My mother, Elisabeth Cady Stan ton" had also a stirring story to teil me of Kansas. This state was the first to submit to the voters the question of amending its constitution by strik ing out the word 'male.' That was in 1867. My mother campaigned all over the state at the time of that referen dum. There were then few railways and many a thrilling tale she had to tell about driving day after day over the prairies with Gov. Robinson, the first governor the state had. The governor drove on this tour two splen did black horses and it stirred my young soul to know they were called Stanton and Anthony. KansasLand of Hope. "Kansas won my allegiance long be fore I thought of becoming a voter. 1 am an emigrant from an old dead world with its privileged classes to a new land of hope and promise." Mrs. Blatch Is an enthusiastic sup porter of the Woman's Party which, she points out, most en.phatically .is not an organization of women against men but an association of women and men banded together to use their po litical power to secure the ballot for the women of tfie entire nationa. "Please make it plain' Mrs. Blatch urged, "that men are welcome in the Woman's Party. This new party fs not a party in a. strict political sense, for it is running no candidates, and there is but one plank in its platform. 'iz., the national enfranchisement of all women. Any voter who is ready to put suffrage first can Join the Wom an's Party." To the suggestion that every one in Kansas is for "suffrage first," the quick rejoinder was, "Not a bit of It. You wouldn't say a person wishes well to a canary who opens the door of the cage and puts a cat inside. Any one who votes to put Woodrow Wilson in the White House or a Democrat in congress is letting loose on suffrage Its worst enemies.' Mrs. Blatch will spend most of the time between now and November 6, turning votes away from Wilson in Colorado and Wyoming. The last ten days before election are to be de voted to the same object in Kansas. Tt is whispered that Congressman Taggarf district Is to receive a large share of those ten days.

Should Carry Birth Certificate for Self Defense. ADOPT A RAID SYSTEM Army Authorities Sound Up Men, Searching Delinquents. U. S. Ambassad" Busy Rescu ing Americans From Net. London, Oct. 3. American men of military age who come to England Just now had better bring along their birth certificates." They will need them and more to convince the British authorities they are not super slackers. The super slackers men who have failed to register under the military conscription act are daily falling into tha net which the war of fice has set for them. Americans are being netted In almost every haul. If they fail to have the documentary evidence handy they are liable to re main "guests" of the London police until someone In Ambassador Page's embassy can look up the records. Herd Passengers Into Inclosure. When a crowded tube train arrived at its terminus a few days ago, the male passengers were herded into a big enclosure. Two men who had evaded conscription wept. Others hastily 3ent for their wives and the necessary papers. An American news paper man, whose name is well known to readers of a big New York paper, was In the "catch." He proved his identity when the opportunity arose and was freed. The authorities, however, led a score of men" off to the district police station where they spent the night. More than half were super slackers. The raid system is only a part of the big campaign to rope in the military shirkers. Careful examination of registration .cards held by all aliens is joins forward. The Americans, as well as Dutch, Spanish, Swiss, Argen tinians and other neutrals are required to show why they are not serving in the British army. They answer that they are neutral. The swift reply is "prove it." Hare's how one American proved it. Neutral? Then Prove It. The mail brought a document re questing him to appear at a big re cruiting office September 2, to join "His, Majesty's Forces." The Amer ican wrote the recruiting officer that lie was an American citizen and there forefexempt. Twelve hours later, back arne.the officer's answer. "Prove it." ,fh" .American mailed his passport, issued by the state department at Washington and enclosed a courteous note suggesting that this "should eli minate all doubt." The passport got lost in the mail. September 2 was drawing near and three days later there was no word from the recruit ing officer.' This meant lhat a pair of soldiers would probably appear soon at the American's doorstep and take him along as a super slacker. He called the off icer on the telephone. "I've sent you my passport; isn't that proof enough?"- he queried. "Makes no difference," was the re- VENIZELOS CONVINCES CONST ANTINE THAT GREECE SHOULD ENTER THE WAR Kleutherlos Venlzeloa (left) and King Constantine.

Venizeloa is regarded as the greatest Greek statesman of modern times, and since the beginning of the war be has used all his in fluence to get the Greeks into the fray against the central empires. ply, "you may .be an American all right, but you'll have' to prove it." So the American proved it by having the American embassy write the re cruiting officer a letter. Then the re cruiter apologized.' It is one of the many narrow escapes from khaki that Americans are having just now. HEAD COUNTERFEITERS Americans Slake More "Queer" Money Than Foreigners. Washington. Oct. 3.

Life at the front seems to agree with him. Every soldier within view stood at rieid salute as he appeared in the ti.mrwav of the rather modest two story "house that has his head quarters. The czar responded. Step ping forward a few paces he shook hands with one of his officers and despite the drizzle, stood in the open for about half a minute talking. He wore neither overcoat nor waterproof, Ixini? dressed simply in the regulation khaki and black Loots.

When Miss Eda Eid, principal learned cf the snubs she made a rule that hereafter the first pupil that snubs the McDaniel children will be sent home until he apologizes and the name of the offender put in the news paper.

"Who will win the pennant in the National league?" This was the first direct question asked by Dr. Aimaro Sato, the new Japanese ambassador, as he ap proached the shores of the United States. There was no request for the latest important news from Tokio. The ambassador's next question was: "Will Wilson or Hughes be elected neat month?" Ambassador Sato was educated at DePauw university, graduated with the class of 1881. He is an enthusi astic ball fan. "Baseball is a good, clean game," said the &.mbas&ador. "It calls for deftness, quick thought and skill and is filled with interest. I am glad to say it is played extensively in Japan and is one of the items which binds Japan closer to the United States. vAnd, speaking cf the relations be tween Japan and the United States,' he continued, "I am glad to bring a message of peace, good will and a desire for continued friendliness thru the ages from Japan to this so great United States my foster country. Jingoes Discussing War. Jineo forces in both countries are discussing war and the possibility of war between the two nations, but I want to say personally and officially that it will take more severe differ-, ences than have arisen thus far to cause Japan to ever consider severing her friendship with the united states. 'Why should the two nations De other than friendly? We of Japan are too broad minded. I nope, to permit the clandestine to be construed as the attitude of the entire country. As cent mv sincere statement for it, Ja pan and the united states are lanner from a quarrel and nearer to ever lasting peace than at any previous time." Ambassador Sato was at tne t-oris- mouth conference that ended the Russian-Japanese war. His diplomatic experience was gain ed in several European capitals. At the time of the breaking out oi tne world war he was ambassador at Vi enna, -where, as he said, "I was po litely informed I was not required in Vienna: in other words, I was an un desirable." Sato leaves for Washington tongnt or Wednesday morning. WILL NOT DISMISS CASE Threats by Gamblers Fail to Stop Ac tion by Judge landis. Chicago, Oct. 3. Federal Judge Landis' life was threatened by gam blers in a frantic effort to stay his exoosure of the inner secrets of the Chicago gambling ring. Judge Landis was called to the telephone half a dozen times this afternoon and told by strange voices of dire things that would happen to him unless he de sisted in his investigation. In each case the Judge just laughed and hung up the- receiver or invited the voices 4o come in and testify from the wit ness stand. Mont Tennes, alleged head of the gambling syndicate, when called to the stand today, refused to answer ouestions about his business, on the ground that his evidence might later be used against him. He could not be forced to answer. Some of Tennes' employes divulged inner secrets of the organization known as Tennes' gen eral news bureau. The bureau handles racing and other sporting news.

Atlantic City, Oct. 3. Peace cannot be restored in Mexico until the United States guarantees the lives and prop erty of Americans. This was the sim ple text of a delegation of American mining men who appealed today to the American peace commission for relief. They spoke for forty-five American companies, representing 3125,000,000 investment. They al30 said that the Wilson pol icy of watching and waiting had been proved an utter failure. They empha sized the imperative need of imme diate action. They argued that the Mexicans would continue to murder and steal if they could not obtain a living any other way and the only other way was to obtain employment from American property owners, who had fled from Mexico because of the president's warnings. After stating they had vainly ap pealed tc the state department for re lief, the mining men presented a brief which retold their story in great de tail. Loss Is Gigantic. Conditions before and since Car- ranza was recognized by President Wilson were contrasted. In 1912, for example, the fourteen plants operated by the companies represented employ ed 62,21 6 Mexicans and expended in wages tc both Americans and Mex icans 318,726,000 a year. The total annual output included 741,677 tons or copper, 46,765 zinc, 68,269 lead, 33,119,919 ounces of silver and 243,- 317 ounces of gold. During the first six months of 1915 the number of Mexicans employed had fallen to 6,000, the aggregate payroll to $3,671,302 and the total production of copper had shrunk to 23,166 tons, zinc 11,183, lead 3.046 silver 6,152,736 ounces and gold 38,- 6Db ounces. The loss simply in depreciation of property and waste during this time was estimated at over $7,246,000'. The mining men said they were not asking for damages, they simply wanted the United States to protect tne lives and property of Americans. so that they could resume operations. WILSON OFF TONIGHT Leaves Capital for Invasion of West as Far as Omaha. Long Branch. Oct. 3. President Wilson was ready toay for his first invasion of the middle west eince the campaign opened. He will leave here tonight for Omaha, where he will speak Thursday night. Altho many requests for the presi dent to speak en route have been re ceived, no arrangements for any ad dresses have been made. He is ad hering strictly to his determination not to turn the trip into a campaign tour. While the Omaha speech will not be as political in its tone as the one he delivered here last Saturday, the president expects to touch on oublic questions now before the coun try. Mr. Wilson discussed the censorship of moving pictures today with William A. Brady and a committee. He said his mind was open on the subject, and listened carefully to the committee's arguments.

CARRANZA WANTS WAR Chief Is Trying to Force Issue With V. S., Bell Believes. El Paso. Tex., Oct. 3. Brigadier General George Bell, Jr., fs quoted as saying: "Carranza evidently wants war." The declaration is said to have been based on a circumstantial story related by an American refugee who arrived from Mexico. The name of the man is not revealed. According to General Bell, who re lated the conversation, this American reported that upon arrival of his en voy, Eliseo Arredondo at Mexico City, Carranza would sever diplomatic rela tions with the United States. According to American authorities, Carranza plans the r?call of the Mex ican envoy's participating in the New London and Atlantic City conferences. Carranza believes nothing can be accomplished by the conference. He feels that he has everything to gain and nothing to lose by war. There fore, the American told General Bell, .n(iunauL intenus 10 declare war or at least prjvoke Piesident Wilson into war. Carranzista efforts are now concen trated on uniting Carranzistas, Vil listas, Zapatistas and Leralistas into one solid body to resist Americana OIL COMPANIES HIT Alleged Forger In Jail Operated Kansas and Oklahoma.

GAMBLERS TO COVER Mayor Thompson Declares He Will Irosecute Kven His Friends. Chicago, Oct. 3. Grafters and gam blers who have been working under cover of police protection and po litical privilege, are hustling to cover today following the announcement of Mayor Thompson that he would prose cute even his friends who attempted to graft by alleging a pull at the city hall. The raid by State's Attorney Hoyne yesterday of the Sportmen's Club of America, of which Mayor Thompson wa? formerly president, is causing the panic among local politicians and saloonkeepers, who are said to have bought promises of immunity thru purchase of costly memberships in the Sportsmen s club. A grand Jury will begin an inquiry into the affairs of the club to deter mine what became of nearly $140,000 which had been collected by the club in membership fees alone. Charges that the club conducted betting pools and other illegal opera tions and that men prominent in the official and business life of Chicago were connected with the institution were made yesterday.

And, of course, this "milk strike" that is now under way in New Tork, through the refusal of 17,000 dairymen l renew their contracts with the milk distributors of the big city, will hit heaviest the innocent bystanders. In this instance they happen to be none other then the little, helpless children, and those in the families of the poorer folk will suffer the most, or the worst. Colonel Roosevelt was in his fine, old-fashioned form in the speech he delivered at B?ttle Creek, lich. And there is more truth than poetry or merely political suggestion in his ob servations that W'oodrow Wilson has the habit of ignoring his own convic tions and that he has a tendency to strike only when the iron is cold. With President Wilson finally having decided to launch a more ag gressive speech-making campaign, and for the avowed purpose of "smoking out" Candidate Hughes as to what changes he would make in the foreign and business policies that are in order under the present national adminis tration, it is possible that sufficient finger and other spice will be injected into the presidential campaign to arouse the interest of a multitude of citizens who are apparently giving lit tle attention to it. ENGLAND TO QUIT FREE TRADE. All signs point to England's aban donment of her historic free trade policy with the close of the war, writes "Ctiarles Bates Strayer, in Leslie's. When peace comes there will be in augurated the fiercest economic war the world has ever known, and only thru tariffs and commercial treaties will any nation be able to protect Its workers and its Industries. Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire says, "Nowhere among- the nations is free trade longer tolerated." The London Chamber of Commerce has recom mended the abrogation of all "most favored nation" treaties and the divi sion of all countries Into four eco nomic groups separated by tariff walls and classified as allies, friendly neu trals, unfriendly neutrals and enemies. A sliding scale of duties is proposed, running up to a maximum of 30 per cent on imports from enemy countries. The change from free trade to protec tion would yield Hngland a net yearly revenue of about (375,000,000. Great Britain is our best customer. Should she adopt the plan of the London Chamber of Commerce it will pro foundly affect the United States. To meet the competition that will come with peace we shall need give protec tion to every American industry, and to the American workman whose wages constitute 90 per cent of the value of finished products. IX THE SENATORIAL ARENA. Control of congress is almost as big a political consideration with the major parties in the present national campaign as is the election of a presi dential candidate. Mr. Hughes, with a Democratic congress, or even' a Democratic senate, would not be able to accomplish much. The same would be true of Mr. Wilson, although it may almost be taken for granted that should he be re-elected he is likely to carry enough senatorial and represen tative candidates with him to continue the Democratic party with its hold on the nation's law-makins body. So etrenuous efforts are being made by both the big parties in the con gressional arena, and the Republicans are bending every energy for success in these fields, and particularly in the senatorial contests in a number of the states. And they would appear to have good reason, too, for enthusiasm over the senatorial prospects of their party. The present Democratic majority in the United States senate is sixteen. To give Mr. Hughes, if he would be re turned the presidential winner on November 7, a Republican senate to assist him on his way, means that nine seats in the senate now occupied by Democrats must be refilled with Re publicans. One senator has already been gained by the Republicans, in Maine, and that leaves them only eight senatorial holes to go. This senatorial result in Maine has also been a great spur to the Republican campaigners in other states where senators are to be chosen. This is especially true of Indiana, where the parallel with Maine condi tions is particularly close. Both states now have Democratic senators and Democratic governors. In both states the national administration has been generous with patronage of the sort that is of political benefit to senators on the job, and who wish to stay on it. In both states have been massed a battery of the biggest oratorical guns at Democracy's command. Maine resisted all this. Maine turned down her Democratic governor and a Democratic United States sena tor. The Republican campaign mana gers figure that Indiana can hardly fail to do likewise. They figure also that they will pick up alt least the other six senators necessary to Republican control of the senate in New Tork, New Jersey, West Virginia, Ohio, Nevada and Montana. There is a chance they think, too, of adding three more, one each from Arizona, Missouri and Maryland. And so there are other important political battles being fought out these days in addition to the presidential contest. Not so much is heard about them out here in Kansas, as this state doesn't happen to have a United States senatorial contest this year. THE FINANCIAL SITUATION. "While there have been evidences of substantial profit-taking by larg in terests in the financial markets this week," writes Henry Clews, the New Tork banker in his weekly financial review under date of September 30, "new investment and speculative buy ing has been sufficiently effective to more than maintain the stock ex change price level. On Saturday last the sales during the short session ex ceeded the 1.000,000-share mark. Monday's full day's session contributed a total of 2,300,000 shares. To dupli cate such figures we must go back to the exciting times of 1907. They are suggestive of the enthusiasm and pub lic interest that at present are prevail ing. The main features in the general financial situation may be con sidered to include, (1) the impression that has become so widespread that European liquidation of American securities has approached close to the point of completion; (2) that the termination of the War of Europe, devoutly as it is to be desired, does not promise to be one of the immediate probabilities; .(3) the unmistakable evidence of inflation in which all our national activities are so freely par ticipating; (4) the phenomenal earn ings that are appearing in the official statements of our great railway sys tems and equally great Industrial com binations; and (5) the remarkable ease in the money situation and the fact that the financia? requirements for marketing the crops have been completed for the season. The probability of the continuance of the war into 1917 removes as an im mediate factor of the general market the after-war conditions which many thoughtful persons are awaiting with apprehension. A contract for nearly 600,000,000 pounds of copper, which has recently been arranged with American producers for delivery abroad during the first six months of 1917 does not tend to encourage the view that an early peace is being ex pected in official circles abroad. It, too, seems fair to assume that other purchases of war munitions and "ther war material will continue upon an equally liberal scale. They will serve to preserve the same unexampled in dustrial and export activity that has heretofore resulted primarily from this source. We are now experiencing not alone a demand from foreign countries for both war and peace sup plies, but we have added to that an almost equal volume of domestic pur chasing power which Tias closely fol lowed the free spending of the profits that have accrued so generally follow ing the war's opportunities. Labor, never so fully and profitably em ployed, is buying luxuries and neces sities at high prices. Speculators wrho have made large profits are even more prolific as a spending class, while manufacturers and traders are par ticipating quite fully in this active cir culation of funds. This Is an economic feature that is usually quite as back ward in ending as it is in developing. Hence it may be considered as likely to occupy a position in market con siderations for some time to come. There should, for some time, be ample funds for buying securities as welt as commodities. Bank credit, too, prom ises to occupy a similarly ample posi tion. Not unnaturally, such considerations as these divert atten tion from considerations that present themselves so clearly in a more distant view of financial prospects. Every body knows that sooner or later a severe check must come, and that the war, which so completely upset condi tions in this country when it began, will have an important influence when it ends. The extent of this general reactionary movement Is something that may not be decided on in advance in definite measure. It will, however, be important." Some of the weakest folk, physi cally, also have the strongest minds. Nor is it always well to judge a man by what others may sav about him. Peace of mind is as rare all the time with many people as is peace these days among the nations on earth. Too many people persistently hunt for favors without the slightest idea of ever making adequate returns. As a matter of fact, some of the fields that are used so freely for the sowing of wild oats. produce some pretty good crops later on. JAYHLAWKEK JOTS There are a lot of commendable methods of economizing, observes Verd Napier, but neglecting to pay the little bills you owe is not one of them. Here's a fine and truly patriotic thought in a few words from the pen of Mrs. Tom Thompson of the How ard Courant: "Let the flag be a symbol of our virtues, not of our passions." One of the items in the columns of the Wilson County Citizen that are filled weekly with a clever line of advertising from Singleton's Store is authority for the information that in playing the average music roll on a pianola the performer walks about three miles and fourteen yards.

And, believe us, these school lads will not change their minds about it either. We are told, says the Lebanon Times, that the legend "lunch stand and free hay" that has appeared on most of the public sale bills during recent years is really an obsolete term as most of those who go to farm sales travel in Fords and "free hay" is no object to them. In the old days folks who didn't advertise free hay for teams belonging to prospective buyers were likely to have but small attend ance at the sales. "Free gasoline" would be more to the point at pres ent, but anybody holding out such an inducement would probably have to pay more for the gasoline than the proceeds of the sale amounted to. r globe siGsnrs From the Atchison Globe. Wise men get a lot of free instruc tion from fools. Blunt men often make the most cutting remarks. It's always a big bore for a burglar if the safe is locked.

Is Your Wife a Beautiful Ivady? Taken from a local ad: FINE ASSORTMENT OF BEAUTI FUL LADIES' LINGERIE NOW ON SALE. SIDE TALES BY BUTH CAMERON. Whom Would You Marry? Molly, the little stenographer lady, and I amused ourselves on a tedious trolley trip the other day in a way which has long been a favorite in our family. In each of the successive cars we asked each other which man we would marry if we had to choose from the specimens of the male sex there displayed. Now that may sound terribly silly, but you can't imagine how amusing and interesting it is until you have tried it. It gives an impetus to the study of faces as indexes to character. Molly looks chiefly at mouths. She rejected one unconscious suitor be cause of the full lines over the mouth that are apt to spell sensuality, and another because he shut his mouth too tightly. "That means the kin of bad temper that he shuts in for peo ple outside of the family and lets loose on his wife," she said. I consult mouths, but I look at eyes, too: I like to see if they are warm or cold. Then if the man is old enough to have wrinkles, I look for humor wrinkles radiating from the eyes out ward, for two of my ideal require ments are a sense of justice and a sense of humor. Of course the financial standing of these unconscious applicants for our hands came into question. It is more difficult to place a man financially by his clothes than a woman because men's clothes are more standardized. We found that shoes were one of the best indexes. You can tell a high- class shoe more surely than you can place any other article of male attire. One man whose financial status had been uncerta in, promptly lost out when we noticed his shoes, of light yellow, cheap looking leather, and made with that superaccentuated box toe with lavish perforations. They were not free from mud and they were topped by striped stockings. While a man next him in a slightly shabby suit was marked O. K. when we took stock of his shoes, of a dark er leather, made on long plain lines, immaculately polished and topped with thin black lisle stockings. Carefully kept nails, too, denote the gentleman even in shabby clothes. My pen runs away with me. But it was such fun! And such harmless fun Nor were we smug enough not to wonder what criticisms they would have passed on us had they chosen to play at the same game. (Copy right by George Matthew Adams.)

There was a determined squeak to the little rocker as Abigail swayed back and forth, and daring resolution seemed dawning in her eyes. "I'll do it!" said this domestic Joan of Arc suddenly, espousing her own cause for the first time. "Ive looked long enough at that rusty bed and that silly picture. I'm going to have a pret ty room if it is in this little oven of a place, where you couldn't ask a neigh bor to sit down with a bit of sewing." And the room merited no more than Abigail's terse description. An ancient print of three angelic figures Faith, Hope and Charity, was the only pic ture; In front of the one window was a splint-bottomed rocker, and beside it an old-fashioned chest of drawers with a clock on it. A bowl and pitcher were crowded on a rickety stand, and in one corner was the bed. That was a con- stant source of mortification. The I pillows stood erect, the crocheted spread was neat, but the bed itself was I very shabby. i It was only the tiny room off the kitchen, but as she looked it van ished and the bed stood in the cool upper chamber of the house where she and Joel had started life together. She was putting up ruffled curtains, and he kissed her fingers when she reached for the hammer. She saw the look on his face when he tiptoed in to see her and their first son. A smile trembled on her lips, then a hot breath came from the kitchen and she rocked faster. 'Joel's been lying up on Mount Peace for three years, and I've been here with Hiram and Ellen in the val ley of unrest," she thought wearily. "Maybe my eyes are a trifle dim, and I do spill things sometimes. The hems in the baby's aprons were a lit tle crooked, still She looked at the pile or working shirts and stock ings Ellen had given her after that. "Ellen's family liff her life, and the struggle tb care for them has put two deep lines in her forehead and made her lips thin and set. This monotony is choking me!' j "Are you set on going to the Bap- j tist picnic at Buttonwood on Tues day?" Ellen asked her at supper. "I don't think there'll be room for you in the wagon. Drusilla Blake wants to I go, and we'll stay over night at Hor ace Fitch's and go shopping with his folks on Wednesday, so you hadn't bet- j ter go. I've asked little Hilda Barr to j stay all night with you." j "It would be a hard trip," replied! Abigail, quietly. Maybe some of the .neighbors will run in to see mp.'Donn j in her heart she chuckled. "I'm glad I they don't want me," she thought as she washed the dishes. "They won't be i home till Wednesday evening, I guess. Hilda and I will have plenty to do. i Three years I've been here, and not a bit of my company have I had. Now I'm going to give a little sewing bee i and spread all my own. I'll use my I own dishes and a little of my own i money, so Ellen surely can't grudge me 1 the use of the house. Let's see who'll I invite?" she asked herself eagerly. "There's Mis' Drake: she's lent nie magazines. I won't forget her. Then there's Mis Hill. She speaks kindlv every Sunday and wrote to me when I was sick. Of course' Mis Barr. if Hilda helps me. And the teacher, too! Mabel Bosworth is uncommon kind to Hiram's children and their Grandma Turner won't forget it." The kitchen in order. Abigail sat down on the back porch to finish the list of guests. "Eldora Bassett can come as well as not. If she is rich now, we went to tne fona Hill school together, and it s a long time since we visited. I'd be an old maid yet if I'd had to chase Joel the way she tagged after Ephriam Bassett when he got his money. Well. I had a good husband, and it's none of my business how she got hers. I guess six is enough for my first ven ture. I ll write some notes, so Hilda can trot round with them in the morn ing." The picnic day was ideally cool and clear as the Turners drove down the grassy lane. Ellen called back final directions to Abigail: "There's a pie on the second shelf in the pantry and cookies in the brown crock. T" tVio v, blue pitcher for berries" On afford to be generous when one is bound for a picnic. Abigail nodded, then turned swiftly into the house. "It's not food that bothers me now; it's my room I'm looking after. Well, Abigail, now or never!" She changed her wrapper for a white gown with tiny black sprigs, took her best sunbonnet from its hook, and hurried down the road in the op posite direction to that pursued by the picnic party. "Only a mile to the village!" she panted at the top of the first little hill, "and I must be smart and get a lot done today." An hour later she stepped on the back porch, tired but triumphant. The handle of a little paint brush stuck out of one parcel, and where another was torn there was a gleam of gay calico. Under one arm was a can of walnut stain. A hurried skirmish into her old clothes, and the battle began. Deliberately the commander locked herself in her room. This was the minute gun of the lit tle revolution, and. secure in her fort ress, one timid old lady defied the domestic powers, that were. The only sounds in the little room were the soft pats of a brush, varied by sighs and Scripture verses. aj Abigail alternately remembered her rheumatism and re newed her faltering courage. Later even these sounds ceased. They were replaced' by the squeak of the little rocker. When Hilda Barr ran into the Tur ner kitchen on Wednesday morning, there were signs of approaching fes tivity, and Abigail, lifting a" tin of sponge cake from the oven, gave no word of welcome till the burden was on the table. "Well, child, what did the folks say?" "They're all coming, and they seem ed real pleased. Now I'll pick the ber ries for you." Left alone, Abigail made boiled BACK, JACK DALTON, YOU SHALL NOT HARM By BRDfKERHOFF. icing and considered the evening's menu. "The chicken I roasted yesterday is all ready to slice, and Ellen's little crisp pickles are what it needs as a relish. Scalloped potatoes will be tasty, and no trouble, either. A cake of nice honey will add something, and I believe yes, I'll excuse myself about 5 o'clock and stir a pan of biscuit. I don't think I've lost my knack of it; I used to make them to suit Joel, any way." And she smiled to herself. Once, when she was 1 8, Joel Tur ner had stood watching her make bis cuit in her mother's kitchen, and had suddenly kissed the pink cheek so dangerously near him. Flushed and startled she had whirled about and Riven him a ringing slap, forgetting the case knife in her hand. Joel had soberly raised his hand to his forehead, where blood trickled from a jagged little cut. That had settled Abigail's resentment; there had al ways been a tiny scar on Joel's fore head, and called baking-powder bis cuit his wedding cake. "The berries and cake will be des sert, and with my best china and good coffee, that's all that can be desired."

In the glory of the sunset, Kllen and Hiram drove into the yard. The chil dred rode on to the barn, but Ellen walked across the yard. There was i murmur of voices from the dining room, but something unusual in the aspect of the little room drew her at tention. The bed and chest of draw ers glistened with a new mantle of brilliance. The rickety stand showed a walnut luster, even the clock had not been neglected, and its tick had a new importance. A white geranium sat on the window sill, and the rocker had a cushion of bright calico. A pic ture of Joel Turner stood beside the clock, with one of a distant cousin's little girl. The angelic trio were miss ing, but on the wall were pinned two supplements from a Sunday newspa- "That's Miss Hill'e voice," said Ellen in a daze, as she turned toward the dining-room, "and there's Mabel Bosworth's laugh. What does it mean?" General laughter followed some re mark, and, all unobserved, Kllen stood at the door. One glance told who were the guests. Then her criti cal eye scanned the table, noting the dainty slices of chicken, the biscuits on a fringed napkin, the delicate ber ries and white-capped strips of golden cake. Then her eye went to the head of the table the hostess' place. In some recess of a trunk Abigail had found a gray gown of quaint style, but there was a glimpse of creamy lace at throat and wrist as she served the coffee, and the flush of exhilaration on her thin face spoke volumes to the one observer. "She has cared she was lone some!" was the thought that throbbed in Ellen's heart and warmed it for all time. "Good evening, ladies'- I'm real glad to see so many of mother's friends." Her voice startled the guests, but the cordiality in it made Abigail's face glow with thankful surprise. One look at Ellen convinced her. A joyful free dom had begun, and Ellen was say ing with a note of pride in her voice: "Ladies, my husband, mother's son, Hiram!" (Copyright, 1916, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) DINNER STORIES A businesslike man stepped into a butcher's shop. "A piece of beef for roasting," he ordered, brisk 1 v. The meat, mostly bone, was thrown on the scales. "Look here." remonstrated the man. "you're giving me a big piece of bone." "Oh, no I ain't," said the butcher blandly, ,-yer payin fer it." "Did you get any reward when you took that dog home?" "Well." said Mr. Walker, "if it's worth under a dollar to have a man and his wife and three children and the cook and two neighbors all look suspiciously at you and ask signifi cant questions and doubt your state ments about where you found the darned dog, I suppose I was rewarded."

Tou feel like a balloon with all the gas out. That's just the way Father Beaver felt. And he didn't like feeling that way. "Aren't you going to tell us where you went?" he said; real cross he was. too. "Dear me. no." laughed Mother Beaver good-naturedly. "I hadn't even thought of telling. I was just tending to a little business of my own. Tou wouldn't be interested Just yet. Father Beaver. And you must not worry so about me, I'll be very care ful about danger.

Beware of a widow who acts as if she was glad of it. It is easy to fool a man who has no faith in human nature. The actions of a father speak louder than the words of a son. Most men are so pessimistic that they even exaggerate their troubles. Some people are never satisfied un less they can butt into the game. Most of the things we wish for are about as useful as a counterfeit bill. Men who occupy front seats at the ballet think they have a few kicks coming. Marriage is seldom a failure if neither party to the contract has any relations to interfere. Occasionally a man balks at doing a thing merely because some one he dis likes expects him to do it. Men may be as deceitful as women in some things, but no man ever pre tended to be having a good time when he wasn't. rat slipped away into the creek, and Policeman Billy made a neat little bow. and said, "Well, I guess I'll be going on."

HUNT FOUR MEN OF MYSTERY Stranjre Party Came in Boat to Watch Fire, Guard Saw Man Searching De hris With Flashlight. Mount View. N. H., Oct. S. When the body of Mm. Arlene Small was buried there was only one floral of fering on the coffin a wreath marked "To my love." It was from Frederic I,. Small, her husband, who is await ing trial on the charge of having murdered her. He had been offered an opportunity cf jjoini? under guard to the simple funeral, but he elected to remain in his cell. Observers said that he wept at the hour of interment. Sheriff Arthur Chandler has made further search in the charred ruins of Small's cottage and found an empty cartridge shell which fitted an auto matic revolver already found there.' Samples of the resin found on the woman's body, on a bit of bedding be neath it when it was found in the pool of water in the cellar and on the charred mask of cloth over the face, were sent to Dartmouth college for ex amination. The sheriff is seeking to ascertain whether Small bought any resin lately. Small and his counsel are professing great concern over the tracing of four men in a boat from another part of the lake who were seen to come over at the time of the fire and row away again when the excitement was over. Small now says he saw four men in a boat off his cottage on Thursday be fore he started for Boston. It was six hours after his departure that the fire ccurred, followed by the discovery in the cellar of Mrs. Small's body with n. wound on the head and a rope knotted tightly about the neck. Efforts are being made to find th four men who visited the fire. Visited Iluln-t at Xight. Still stranger the story told by Fred Bean, an old mountain guide, who was left by the sheriff to guard the ruins after the fire was over.

When a man comes to our bank and asks for a loan, one of the things we want to know about him is how he has been paying his bills. If we find that he is slow, and that some of the stores are carrying long accounts against him, we are not going to give him any loan not even if he seems to have property which make him a good risk. W e don't want to be bothered with people who are habitually delinquent.

The last person who saw Mrs. Small alive was the grocer who delivered a 5-gallon can of kerosene on Thursday morning, four hours before Small left for Boston. Small said ihat the grocer sat and talked with them an hour. The grocer says he was there only a few minutes. Among the most significant points in the case being prepared by the au thorities are the $20,000 life policy. the $4,000 fire policy on the house and the allegation that on two previous occasions Small had collected insur ance on houses mysteriously burned in his absence.

A REAL PIONEER Death Claims Stephen T. Gage at Age 86. Was One of the Gage Heirs Who Gave Topeka HER BEAUTIFUL" GAGE PARK By Ox Team, Ohio to Cali fornia, in 100 Days. Was Eminent in Railroad and Political Circles. Stephen T. Gage died at his home in Oakland, Cal., last Saturday, Sep tember 30. in the 86th year of his age. In the early days he spent several months in Topeka as the guest of his brother, the late G. G. Gage. He has often visited Topeka since and waa well known by many of the older residents. Stephen T. Gage was one of the heirs of the Gage family which gave to Topeka attractive and beautiful Gage park. The following sketch of Tiis life is written by his youngest brother, Nor ris L. Gage: The first ancestor in America of Stephen T. Gage was John Gage, who landed in Salem. Mass., in 1632. His grandfather, Abner Gage, a soldier in the war of the Revolution, was se verely wounded in the battle of Bun ker Hill. He moved his family to Ashtabula, Ohio, in 1810. Stephen was the oldest of the five children of Joshua and Anna Taft Gage, who were also pioneers in the township of Sheffield, the" writer of this obituary being the youngest and only surviving member. The pioneer blood running strong in his veins, in March, 1852. Stephen T. with four companions from adjacent townships drove to Madison, the Lake Shore railroad not being completed, thence by rail to Cincinnati, thence by boat down the Ohio and up the Missis sippi and Missouri rivers to St. Jo seph, Mo. By Ox Team to California. Of stalwart form and experienced in outdoor life, he was chosen captain of the band. He purchased an outfit consisting in part of four yoke of oxen a milk cow and a riding pony. It is said by plainsmen that never be fore or since has the trip been made in so short a time by an ox team. As t written proof. Gage preserved till his j death a diary of the trip kept at the t time. His knowledge of oxen ac- i quired in youth, when they were in common use, his judgment in selecting seasoned travelers and the facts that he took along grain to give them heart in the fore part of the trip and that they started in advance of the rush of emigration, which insured good graz ing and water, will account for the unparalleled shortness of the trip. Gage spent his first years in Cal ifornia in placer mining and official work. In 1856 he was elected to the legislature, being the youngest mem ber of that body. In 1860-61 he ran a pack train of seventv-five mules over the Sierras to and from Virginia City, Nevada, where gold and silver mines had been a.s covered on the Comstoek lode, it being the richest mineral deposit ever known, next in value to the Rand 'n South Africa. There was no rail ,r wagon road and freight rates were very high. The money which he saved in this perilous business and over ten thousand dollars of debt in addition, he soon lost in developing the Yellow Jacket mine. Had he been able to keen nn his assessments a few months longer he would have been a million aire, as soon after a bonanza was struck. I have often heard him say that the happiest moment or nis financial life was when, years after, v.. nft pvprv dollar of this debt with interest at 1 per cent a month. which was the prevailing rate. in 1864. as secretary ot tne nepuo- licn state central committee, he con ducted the political campaign which resulted in the election of a state fifirnt two TTnited States senators and three Republican presidential elec- j tors; he being one of the number and. being chosen as the messenger, he j carried the vote to Washington and gave the same to Vice President Han- I nibal Hamlin. Of the 212 electoral j votes cast for Lincoln at that election j he left living only one, William ritt Kellogg, of Louisiana. Nevada was organized as a state that year and President Lincoln was anxious to se cure the influence which an addition al state would give to the Union cause. Prominent In Railroad Affairs. After serving for several years as United States collector of Internal re venue for Nevada, Gage iesigned and went into the service of the Central Pacific Railroad company. He held the important office of assistant to the president of that company until the death of Gov. Lcland Stanford, by whom he was appointed. For forty of the best years of his life he devoted his entire energies to promoting the Interests of the Central and Southern Pacific railroads. Being land grant and government aided roads they were constantly subject to assaults by federal and state legislative and judi cial bodies. He had entire charge of railroad affairs in Nevada, never meeting with a defeat and with small expense to the company. It was a senator from Nevada, whose election was secured thru Gage's management, who organized a fight In government cirelfs in Wash ington city, which resulted in driving the Union Pacific railroad back from western Utah where It Tiad forestalled the Central Pacific by commencing to build in advance of the arrival of the latter, thus affecting a union junc tion at Ogden. This action gave to the Central Pacific railroad its land grant in western Utah and its govern ment bonds, worth many millions of dollars, while nt the same time it se cured to Califorria her due share of the trade of Salt Lake valley. His work in the other Pacific coast states and territories in helping to ad Just the relations of the railroads to the needs of the public met the entire approval of his employers. He might easily have amassed wealth during these years instead of securing the small savings of his salary, but he was so absorbed in accomplishing results for his employers that he let all such opportunities pass by without notice. After the last one or the big four who originated the Pacific railroads had died, the system fell Into the hands of Wall street financiers, together with the heirs of the original promoters, and their agents In Cali fornia. With characteristic cruelty, and indifference. Wall street turned Gage adrift. By a technical and illib eral construction of the rules he was WILLCOX SCORES WILSON-RUNNING "PEOPLE'S CAMPAIGN," M'CORMICK President Helped "Bandit" Win Election in Nicaragua. Different From Mexican Policy, Says G. O. P. Chairman. BY WrLLIAM R. WII.IX-OX. (Chairman Republican National Com mittee.) New York, Oct. 3. The elections m Nicaragua are just over. Nicaragua is one of those happy and care-frse revolution-loving republics which President Wilson has taken under the protection of his "reckless enthusi asm." In Nicaragua, Mr. Wilson had a great enthusiasm for keeping run down. There the particular bandit who had won his fickle favor hap pened to be established in the govern ment, so Mr. Wilson devoted his Nic araguan energies to i .aintain his friend in power and place. It is a sharp contrast to Mexico. No r. volution is permitted in Nicaragua. Tn Mexico nothing is permitted to done by the United States that would check the revolution, la fact, the revolution is helped along by the ship ment of arms an.1 other supplies with the placid consent of the president if not by his direct connivance. "There is one th'ng I have got a great enthusiasm about," said the president in one of his speeches. "1 might almost say a reckless enthusi asm, and that is human liberty :x specify Let Them Shoot Katii Othe He proceeded iiuin that to that one of the human liberties for which he has the great enthusiasm is the Mexican liberty to shoot down other Mexicans as they please, and he wished them Godspeed in doing it. He lid not go li-r wrong in admit ting that this was a "reckless enthusi asm." but he did not dare then to ad mit that his enthusiasm for this par ticular brand of Mexican liberty would "till continue even after the Mexicans got to shooting lown American citi zens on American soil. They were al ready shootin-;- and robbing Ameri cans on Mexican soil, and Mr. Wil son's reckless enthusiasm for their liberty did not pjermit h'.m to interfere in behalf of the tiered constitutional rights of the outraged Americans. Since then they have developed ther amusement oi shooting Ameri cans on American soil and the Wil son enthusiasm for the liberty of Mex icans to .shoot still does not permit him materially to hamper their ac tions. Rut in Nicaragua, just beyond Mex ico, liberty and enthusiasm take on different forms. The president is not in the least reckle s about his enthu siasm for Nicaragua. They have no liberty to organize revolutions and shoot down their own people as they please. They are not permitted to work out their own kind and form of government. It is only the blood thirsty Mexicans lor whom our presi dent has that reckless enthusiasm.'- not even allowed the pension which is given to old employes. It is a sad commentary on human nature, and an instance of the basest ingratitude that these heirs and agents never offered a helping hand to the man who had worn his life to a frazzle in successful struggles for their benefit. NOURIS L. GAGE. Ashtabula. Ohio. October 1, 1916. theTgas SITUATION Stockholders Raise $,500,000 to Ob tain Adequate Supply. Kansas City. Mo.. Oct. 3. It is be lieved here that the long and in vol v i litigation which has complicated the affairs of the Kansas Natural Gas company, will come to a conclusion soon. Attorneys for Receiver John M. Landon have served notice upon nearl one hundred defendants that a final hearing will be asked in the dis trict court of the United States for the district of Kansas, First division, in Kansas City, Kan., on October 11. and these defendants have been asked to appear and show cause why the affairs of the Kansas Natural Gas company shouh1 not be finally disposed of. T'u defendants include the members of the public utilities commissions of Kansas and Missouri, their attorneys and the attorneys of the two states and all the cities served by the company. It is the purpose of the attorneys for Mr. Landon to ask the federal court to restrain and enjoin any in terference with the plaintiff in the in stallation of rates to be received for nptural gat, and in :he conduct of the SAVE YOUR HAIR AND BEAUTIFY IT WITH "DANDERINE" Spend 25 cents! Dandruff dis appears and hair stops coming out. Try this! Hair gets beautiful, wavy and thick in few moments. If you care for heavy hair, that glistens with beauty and is radiant with life; has an incomparable soft ness and is iluffy and lustrious, try Danderine. Just one application doubles the beauty of your hair, besides it imme diately dissolves every particle of dandruff; you cannot have nice, heavy, healthy hair if you have dandruff. This destructive scurf robs the hair of Its lustre, its strength and its very life and if not overcome it produces a feverishness and itching of the scalp; the hair roots famish, loosen and die; then the hair falls put fast. If your hair has been neglected and is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too oily, get a 2 6 -cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine at any drug store or toilet counter; apply a little as directed and ten minutes after you will say this was the best investment you ever made. We sincerely believe, regardless of everything else advertised, that If you desire soft, lustrous, beautiful hair and lots of tt no dandruff no itching scalp and no more falling hair you must use Knowlton's Danderine. If eventually why not now? Advertisement- Funds All Received From Party Common People. Wilson ot Bound to Givers of Large Amounts. BY VANCE M. McCOHMICK (Chairman Democratic National Committee.) New York, Oct. 3. The announce ment by Henry Morgenthau, chairman of the finance committee of the Dem ocratic national committee, last week, of the appointment of Thomas L. Chadbourne to head the committee that is to devote its attention to rais ing campaign tunds in New York state invited attention to a feature of the campaign of which we are very proud. It is a teature that stands out in strik ing contrast to the methods adopted by the Republicans for raising their campaign tunds. We are conducting a "people's cam paign," for the re-election of Presi dent Wilson and by that I mean a campaign supported by the people of all classes in all parts of the country a clean campaign, free from the in fluence of special interests. Mr. Chadbourne, in accepting the chairmanship, fairly stated our case when he said. "Democratic funds to pay the ex penses of this campaign have got to be obtained irom the many and I propose to give every Democratic and inde pendent voter in the state of New York a chance to make an investment of which the next lour years will make him proud. "We are going to linance this cam paign with money. the giving of which comes from the heart and for no other purpose than to advance the public interest. This preliminary and all-important restriction was laid upon his campaign manager in 1912 by the then Governor Wilson that no obli gation be assumed financial or oth erwise, which might be construed as limiting his absolute freedom to act for the whole people in the presidency. That same all-essential restriction rests upon his campaign managers to- i day and it is being rigidly observed." The people believe and know that President Wilson has been a Iree pres ident, the first in many years. That they also believe and know that this is the character of his candidacy today is shown by the response to the solicita tions for popular subscriptions. I be lieve this to be the not least important of many reasons why the people of this United States are going to re elect Mr. Wilson. I want to emphasize, however, that every ounce of energy that ever pro gressive Democrat can devote and every dollar that each can reasonably spare is necessary to assure the suc cess of the president's rause. The great achievements of the "Wilson adminis tration have been overshadowed by the war in Europe and the president's campaign is pitched on his record or achievement. business of the company as carried on by him. It is further asked that all defendants be restrained and en joined from litigation in any other court, jurisdiction of such matters having been reserved and retained ty the federal court. If the federal court upholds the con tention of Mr. Landon's attorneys it will mean that there can be no inter ierence by any state utilities commis sion or other'state officer in the man agement of the Kansas Natural Gas company, and that the new rates pro mulgated by Mr. Landon will go into ef ect immediately. Recently the stockholders of the Kansas Natural Gas company arranged to raise $4, 500,000 for extensions and improve ment of their property so as to give an adequate supply of natural &as to all cities served by the company, pro vided the new rates were made effec tive. If the rates are not upheld It will mean that new capital will not be available and unsatisfactory service must continue or the cities affected must return to artificial gas at greatly advanced rates. The financial affairs of the company are now in excellent shape. With an abundance of new money the company is in a position to make large leases ot gas territory and contract for all the output that will be required for years to come. But these extensions and im provements are contingent upon the acceptance of the new rates. Senti ment in Kansas City and most other cities served by company, is almost unanimously in favor of the rates which will insure an abundance of gas at prices very much lower than would have to be paid for the artificial pro duct. Gas consumers are hopeful that the federal court will grant the request of the Kansas Xatural company, and thiis end a long period of poor gas supply and unsatisfactory service. It is probable that if the federal court ratifies the new rates, that Judge Thomas J. Flannelly of the Montgomery county court, will consent to the discharge of the receiver of the company and return the property to its owners. It is known that Receiver Landon's management has been excel lent. He has conserved the resources of the company and given the best possible service under the conditions confronting him. He has earned not only the good will of the owners of the property, but he has the fullest confidence of the consumers. Judge Flannelly's wisdom in appointing Mr. Landon receiver has been completely vindicated. FORFEITS LARGE BOND Defendant in Blackmail Case Failed to Appear In Court. Ww York. Oct. 3. Heorirn Irwin. I ohe of the chief defendants in the gov ernment's prosecution of the so-called Mann act blackmail syndicate, has disappea red. This became known today when Irwin failed to appear before Judge Sheppard in the United States district court to plead to the indictment charging: him and others with having: posed as department of justice a (rents in a conspiracy to extort money from Mrs. Regina A.

However, He Will Vote and Work for the President. Asbury Park. X. J., Oct. 3. Presi dent Wilson will get the vote and the moral support of Henry Ford for re election, but not one cent of the pacifist's great fortune will be con tributed to the Democratic campaign fund. Mr. Ford made this announcement himself after spending three hours with Mr. Wilson at Shadow Lawn. He said: "I enjoyed my visit with the presi dent immensely and I intend to vote for him. If the people of the United States are sane, he will be re-elected." "Do you intend to aid the campaign financially?" was asked. "Not one cent," answered Mr. Ford, decisively. "I do not believe in cam paign funds, the office should seek the man and not the man the office." No Speeches. "Will you make any campaign speeches? "i am not a speech maker, but I will do what 1 can in my own way to aid in the re-election of Mr. Wilson. I am interested only in that." President Wilson has agreed to ex tend his list of speaking dates to in clude Cincinnati. He will go there October 26, as the guest of the City club. The campaign wil be closed with the two speeches which are to be made in New York. One of these will be delivered in New York City and one in Buffalo. The exact dates have not yet been chosen. Tonight the president, accompanied by Mrs. Wilson and Secretary Tumulty, leaves for Omaha, where he will make three addresses on October 6. A rec ord breaking return trip will be made, in order that the Woodrow Wilson In dependent league may be received at Shadow Lawn on October 7. Remaining Dates. Mr. Wilson's speaking dates for the remainder of the campaign are: Indianapolis, October 12; Pennsyl vania Day at Shadow Lawn, October 14; St. Louis Day at Shadow Lawn, October 17; Chicago, October 19; Farmers' Day at Shadow Lawn. Octo ber 21; Cincinnati, October 26, and the two dates yet to be fixed for the speeches in New York state. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo conferred with Mr. Wilson Monday afternoon concerning appointments to the shipping board. No decision was reached, but it is known that the names of Bernard N. Baker, of Balti more, and William Denman. of San Kranr isco, were discussed. Baker was formerly president of the Atlantic Transport line. Denman is said to be well known on the Pacific coast as an admiralty lawyer. SUES F0R$25,000 Charges Burns Ieteotlve and Preacher Circulated Axe Murder Oosjsip. Villisca, Iowa, Oct. 3.

It CALLED ON MARY CHESNEY Took His Wife Along Frequent ly to Get Evidence. Tells Story of Frameup With the Topeka Tolice. The two imported spotters" a man. "Will Tipp," and a woman, "Iva Tipp" who gathered the evidence upon which the state is seeking to convict Mary Chesney of operating a disor derly house at 129 Kansas avenue, got their wires crossed while testifying in the first division of the district court today. They agreed perfectly that they were married but Mr. Tipp said they had been married twenty years while Mrs. Tipp was positive it was only nine years. "Then." said Attorney McLaughlin, representing Miss Chesney, "when your husband said you had been mar ried twenty years he was mistaken, mi he?" 'He certainly was?." said Mrs. Tipp. "We have been married only nine years." "Hump." grunted tne attorney, "maybe it Ju.t seems that long to him." 'The man and woman who were on the city payroll for Sour or five months are not Mr. and Mrs. Tipp by name. Huf the mavor. the citv uttorney. the hiof nt nolice. the county attorney. the assistant county attorney and half a dozen other interested and disinter- j ested persons have requested on nu merous occasions that their real names be withheld. Their business is doing Just such work as has been done in Topeka in the Chesney and other cases. Mr. Tipp is the man who was ar restd with two girls, Irma Wilson and Boone Brown at Burt's restaurant last May. He told todav how it happened. Took Ills Wife There. According to his testimony Tipp has been a frequent caller at the Chesney place and frequently took his wife there collecting evidence. He went to Kansas City, met the two girls and Invited them to come to Topeka to visit htm. They came. He telephoned the city hall they were on their way, then met them and took them to the restaurant for lunch. Of course there was a plainclothes man shadowing the party from the time the train ar rived. The girls were invited to go to thjs office of the city attorney and there they told the stories they after wards told on the witness stand at Mary Chesney's preliminary hearing. At the preliminary the girls stated they had made regular trips to Topeka for months, alternating a week about with Mary Chesney. They told all nhout her alleged methods of opera tion and it was upon their testimony that Miss Chesney was bound over to the district court. The girls were al lowed to return to Kansas City. Now they are outside the jurisdiction of the court and have disappeared. How ever. Judge A. W. Dana, today admit ted as evidence the testimony they gave at -the preliminary. Heard Long Distance Call. Mrs. Tipp testified that once while she was at Mary Chesney's there was a long distance call and that after Miss Chesney had answered it she stated that "Goldie" had called up from Kan sas City, and wanted to change places with "Addle" who was then at the Chesney place. "Miss Chesney told me." said Mrs. Tipp, 'that her place was the only one in town where the girls were examined every week by a physician." "Why," a-sked an attorney, "did she say they were examined?" ..'.'Because," replied Mrs. Tipp, "one rrt th girls, Irma, I believe she said, had almost ruined her business." Mrs. Tipp told of some mysterious heavyweight named "Mike" who visited the Chesney place several times while she was there. V"On one occasion," she said. "I heard him talking witn Miss Chesney, afid he handed her a twenty-dollar liU. A few minutes later she re turned to the room and told Addie Mike wanted her. Addie went out an-l was gone pome time. When she returned she iianded Miss Chesney r fc&Ss Ideal Shirts ST.

Incidentally, she remarked, that isually when Mike called he broke down some of the fur niture, but that tht-re had been no wreckage on that occasion." Mr. Tipp was scored by Attorney McLaughlin for taking his wife into such places and leading people to be lieve she was of loose character. Tipp appealed to the court, but Judge Dana told him to answer questions. JUST LIKE A MOVIE Jim Hayes Chases "Bandit" Down Kansas Avenue. Fleet Florist Catches Man Who "Worked" Him.

Banditry and starvation are on the increase in Mexico, according to official reports today to both the state and navy de partments. The bandits have become a menace even to the city o Vera Cruz, which is now threatened with attack. Captain Guy S. Burrage, of the U. S. S. Nebraska at Vera Cruz, sent in a report that bandits have blown up a train on the Vera Cruz-Mexico City railroad. Bandits have been gathering in tie Vera Cruz section for a long time, and it now appears they are. beyond the control e f the Car ranza troops at Vera Cruz and Mexico City. War department reports show'simi lar widespread opposition to the Car- j ranza government in the northern j tier of counties. Army officers today said thse facts i furnished one of the best reasons why tne government should not yield to the clamor of the Mexican delegates of the Mexican commission that President Wilson order the withdrawal of Gen eral Pershing's army. The war de partment has made the following an nouncement of national guard move ments to and from the border: Battalion headquarters. batteries B and C.

The other dav she received a letter thru trie mail, telling her that the writer, a New Tork man. had heard of her afflictions, was -deeply sorry for ner, and had a remedy to offer. He had been in the same sad plight and could readily sympathize with her. He knew absolutely that all her physical distress and her anguish of mind were due to this one affliction. In fact, there were no end of diseases that rose from superfluous flesh. He sent her pictures of "before and after tak ing." He would be glad, he said, to send her his anti-fat lotions in a plain wrapper so that the neighbors and postman, and even her own family need not know that she was following out her very commendable purpose cf curing herself of her terrible handi cap of obesity. The answer that man will get to his kind offer will furnish him with some strong language that he never knew could be found in an English diction ary.

n &3 MAY DISRUPT 'EM Authors' Club Is Billed for "Big Bust-Up." Those Opposing Joining Labor Federation to Resign. New York. Oct. S. A struggle may result In the disruption sometime this, month of the Authors' Leaeue of" America, whose membership of l.SOO" includes practically all of the famous American men and women of letters.. is on. A goodly fraction wants the league to be Joined to the American Federa tion of Labor. .The "antis," headed by Jack London and a string of notables think this move would b "inappropriate, disadvantageous and dangerous." The matter will be settled by refer endum vote with members of the "antis" threatening to resign If the af filiation party triumphs. In June a committee headed by Thompson Buchanan, reported to its parent committee that the league could profit by joining the federa- tlon. The federation had declared thru several of Its officers'lt would be glad to have it come in. The committee found that the fed-' eration could help obtain for the au thors, control of copyrights, now al most universally controlled by the publishers, and standardization of con-:, tracts. What Would Federation Gain? Just what the federation would gain in a material way was not made plain., Its chief benefit. It was pointed out. would be the warm friendship of 1.308. persons active in forming public opin ion. Authors would hold to themselves any right to strike which they might see fit to exercise and also the right to bargain individually for their pay.- Among those lined up with London are: Brander Matthews, William Dean Howells, George Ada, Winston Churchill.

Up to the Minute SpoittingNews From Everywhere. PHILS INJ HOLE Dodgers 'ow Have Edge in Battle for Flag of X. L. Moran Shy Good Pitchers He Needs Another Alexander. New York, Oct. 3. John McGraw still stanls today the best friend Wil bert Robinson has in baseball. But if winning a ball game at this crucial point in the fate of the Brooklyn Dodgers would have fractured that feeling, it is thru no fault of Mc Graw's that he is still high in Robin son's estimation. Despite the hardest efforts of Mc Graw and Ms cohorts, the Brooklyn club is hanging to the top in the race for the honor and financial benefits of meeting the Boston Red Sox in the World series. Philadelphia is now a full game be .jilnd, so Robbie has driven his charges into a positon from where they will have a better chance at the wind-up, which now is only three games away Irom the Dodgers and four for the Phillies. The Dodgers have three contests left with the Giants and the Phillies will clash with the Braves four more times, two of these tilts being on the -schedule for this afternoon. The Dodgers have now reached the peak of their efforts, but if they hold bp now as they have in the past their crowns are won. Coombs Was Right. Jack Coombs, star of former years "and now the greatest come-back in baseball, gets full credit for preserv ing the friendship between Robinson and McGraw. Faced by Freddie Hchupp. who rapidly is becoming the most ieared left hander In the Na tional league, he right-handed his way to a victory over the shutout route. It was the fifth time this year he has faced the Giants without a loss. Coombs, iron-hearted as of old, pitched himself out of several preca rious situations. Although the Giants several times had runners in a position to cross the rubber, the former Ath letic successfully put on the screws each time. Down in the Quaker City, where the Phillies and Braves were dividing a argain bill at this crucial point of the campaign another hero was being crowned. Grover Cleveland Alexander went into battle against George Stall- ings' crew and won his game. It was the sixteenth shutout victory of the season for Alexander. i. A Great Record. The great Philadelphia pitcher has done something in the last two weeks that few pitchers of his age would be willing to attempt. Just before the Phillies and Dodgers clashed last week, Alexander pitched and won both games of a doubleheader. Thurs day he went to the mound again and downed the Dodgers. Saturday he .tried it again and lost. And Monday, 'With only a day of rest, he came back and turned the Braves back without a run, allowing only three hits. Alex ander has made good his promise to work every other day if necessary to win the pennant for Philadelphia. PLATTSBURQ Front a 14 inches SUMMIT '4 inch higher ijc each 6 for ooc SOLD BY 9 BTC1.UC" DODGERS MAY GOP FLAG BY MARGIN OF ONE POINT Chicago, 111., Oct. 3. Settlement of the National league champion ship in today's games appeared to be a probability today. According to statisticians, Philadelphia would have to win the next four games in order to force Brooklyn to make a clean sweep against New York while on the other hand, if Phila delphia loses two games to Boston and Brooklyn wins from New York, the race is over. The latter result would give Brooklyn ninety-three victories and tifty-nine defeats to ninety victories and sixty-one de feats for Philadelphia. By winning their two remaining games the champions would still be short, even if Brooklyn lost their two. Should Brooklyn win the next three games, there would be no chance for Philadelphia to catch up. Brooklyn has three more games with New York and Phila delphia four with Boston. From a percentage standpoint if each team wins all its games, Erooklyn will lead by one point. If Brooklyn loses three games Philadelphia will have to break even to take the lead. If each team loses one gams Brooklyn will lead by two points. If each team loses two games, Brooklyn will lead by three points. And he is ready to work again to morrow. The Dodgers have decidedly the bet ter of the situation as it stands today. If they win their remaining trio of contests with the Giants, the glory will be with them. But, if the Giants take two of the remaining contests and the Phillies succeed in winning three of their four with the Braves Pat Moran and Bill Carrigan again will be the rival managers in the world series. Dodgers Have Edge. The Dodgers have the edge, mainly because Alexander and Ferdie Schupp have been put out of the way for a day or so. Pat Moran must depend upon Eppa Rixey or Erskine Mayer to win for him this afternoon and.

Club Owners Gather to Discuss League Problems. Zehrung May Be Re-Elected Before Meeting Adjourns. Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 3. Disposal of the Wichita franchise and club of the Western league was the chief business before a meeting of the Western league club owners today. Hugh L. Jones, owner of the Denver club, is in favor of transferring the Wichita club to Colorado Springs1, where the re maining games of the schedule were played following Wichita's surrender of the franchise. William Rourke, of Omaha, also is said to favor Colorado Springs, while Frank Isbell of Des Moines, believes Wichita is the logical town and should be induced to retain the franchise. Kansas City. Kan., is mentioned as a possible bidder for the franchise. The league magnates may decide to elect a president of the league, thus doing away with a winter meeting. So far as known there is no opposition to the re-election of President Zeh rung. WORLD'S RICHEST RACE Kentucky luturity on Card at Lexing ton Track Today. Lexington, Ky., Oct. 3.

Everyone thought Brooklyn had picked up a has-been when Wilbert Robinson took Larry Cheney through waivers from the Cubs last season, but by perfecting his spitball Cheney has been one of the leading pitchers of the league this season trnd a real iron man for the Dodgers. And he looks like a probable world's series hero. Ifoodles and Nuggets .'A i from I3y Times Have Changed. Unlike the old heroes of yore No football player now will save. Altho the barbers now charge more All eat their hair and many shave. Vet, beauty is not prized today By gridiron warriors greatly. The old nose guard has gone to stay And you've seen no shinguardu lately. The new press box on Washburn fild, neatly boxed in and equipped with tele phones and writing stnnds, is an indication of the up-to-date method of doing things inaugurated under the mentorshlp uud mauagemeut of Dr. Kennedy. C. It. Brewer, athletic director at Mis souri University, picks Nebraska, the Kan sas Aggies and Missouri as the contenders for Valley honors this season. And, after making allowances for his prejudices, it is easy to see the he has grounds for his dope. As was asserted in this column previous ly, the Aggies ought to surprise some of their ODDonents before the season is over. Coaches Clevenger and Son u Its are report j ed to have eleven of their 1015 squad back, and they are doing a lot of sileut digging. Skinner. Wells. Randalls and Barnes are all good men. and if their tackles, guards and center show anything- the Farmer eleven should be stronger than it has tecn t in years. Another advantage this year is the new out-and-out coaching system which i undoubtedly has wiped out all internal dis- Ieord. It is not possible to believe that Nebraska will be as strong as the old Nebraska that was dominated by Stiebm. Rutherford and 1 Chamberlain. But, at the same time, the i Hiiskers have a com je tent coach in Stewart, and they have a good olaylng leader in Bie Tim Corey who horned in for quite a bit of glory in 1913; Missouri's chief strength lies in the fact that the Tigers have thirteen veterans back. These veterans did not set the Valley on fire last season, but added exjerience should make them more formidable, and it is presumed that they have some new mate rial of value. K. tT. appears weak in her line, and her only salvation seems to lie In the ability of her coaches to develop tackles and guards capable of playing the same kind of game the backfield will play. The Normal g&we gave little encouragement to the Jay- th HnrtP Pnt Clug hawker supporters, but there is yet time to fill a good many breaches before the im portant games. Having sustained no serious bumps or bruises in their game with the freshmen Saturday, the whole Ichabod squad was out Monday night preparlug for the open ing conference game of the season Friday with Cooper college. From now until Thursday night Coach Kennedy intends to pnt his meu thru the mill so that thev will be in seasoned condi- j tion for the Sterling eleven. "I was well saiistitMi wna tne snowing mnae aaiuraay, I)r. Kennedy said, "but there are a great many improvements to be made in the team before it can go into a game with full strength." Season tickets for all of the games that will be played in Topeka have been put ou sale, and from the way they have been go lug it is apparent that the seating capacity of the bleachers will be taxed at the big games. Of course, the K. U. clash will be the biggest event of the season, and plans are being made to install extra seats for this contest. If the Phillies only had another Grover Cleveland Alexander f The great Alex has demon st rated that be is as great as mound artists ever get to be. After having been knocked out of the box Saturday, he ac complished a real feat Monday when he tame back and shut out the Braves in grand style. The further the N.

Great Care Should Be Exer cised in Selecting Irons. BY CHARLES ("CHICK") EVANS. National Amateur and Open Golf Champion. The average bov who begins to play golf does not select his clubs. He usually begins with one, and that is a discard, and the additions made to his collection 'consist of anything lie can get- I began with one club and I think it was a cleek. A boy, how ever, has considerable time to burn. But it is assumed that any man who reads these articles is anxious to save time and is able to begin his game with the proper equipment. I consider a careful selection of golf clubs extremely important, altho I know it is frequently said that not he club but the mtn behind it makes the good shot. A more exactly truth ful statement is that the good player with the poor club can probably play better than the poor player with the good club, but when the players are equally matched in skill, any advan tage in clubs will tell. One of the greatest faults of the av erage golfer is a coi-stant experiment ing in clubs. Assuredly in the matter of iron clubs it does not pay, for a man must know his tools. lont Buy at One Shop. I have a theory that a golfer should not buy all his irons at one shop but should go to several and make a se lection. I think it took me four year- to collect my present set of iron clubs, and each one beard a different mak er's name. In the selection of iron clubs I give my chief attention to the blade, for the lenalh of these clubs makes almost every shaft look alike. Having selected these clubs, do not change the blade. If a shaft becomes crooked, put in a new one. I do not mean by this that a player should never buy new clubs, for, as a matter of fact, I have added two new lofts to my set in the last two years. But choose carefully and get the best forgings possible, for you will prob ably keep your iron heads as long as you play the game. As a general rule, exclude the freak club from your collection. I think the bag of the expert golfer of today should contain the following iron clubs: A cleek, or any long driv ing iron; a heavy midiron and a light midiron, a mashie, a niblick, a run-up iron and a "stopum" mashie. At least these are the iron clubs I own. I do not believe in playing any more clubs than are actually needed. The length of my cleek is thirty-nine inches, my midiron thirty-eight, my mashie and niblick thirty-six and putter thirty two. Later on I shall explain why I include a "stopum mashie in my list of clubs. Center-Shafted Putter. Now as to the putter: After having tried every other imaginable kind, I advise the center-shafted putter. It is much the easier kind to use, and its whole construction is best adapted to the needs of this stroke, which is en tirely different from the blow given by every other club in your bag. For years I refused to use this club, feel-: ing that 'as long as it was barred by St. Andrews It was not golf, but the man who attempts to play with an orthodox putter against a man who uses a center shaft is up against a pretty stiff proposition. There is a straight-faced putting! cleek that might be found useful for! stymies to play a low shot under trees or to play away from a fence. The wooden clubs I consider the least important as far as careful se lection is concerned. It will probably surprise many to learn that I change wooden clubs at least once a year, and I consider wooden clubplay much the easier part of the game. My wooden c 1 u bs are a d r i ver a. b r ass ie and a spoon. The driver is forty-two inches and the brassie forty-one and a half. To repeat, the complete set of clubs will consist of a driver, a brassie, a spoon, a cleek, a heavy midiron, a light midiron. a mashie, a niblick, a "stopum," a run-up iron and a putter. J TWO XEW TRACK RECORDS. Real Lady Hangs lp N'ew Marks at Lexington Meet Opening. Lexington. Ky., Oct. 3.

Robinson Picked Up Stars From the Deadwood Pile. BY FRANK G. MEXKE New York, Oct. 3. Teams male up of castoffs seem to be the only ones able to win- National league pennants in this present day and age. The 1914 Braves were composed largely of players who weren't con sidered good enough by other clubs, yet that combination swept thru to the championship of the world. Last sea son it was the misfit Phillies that snared the Tener bunting. And now the only clubs that remain in the rae are two clubs where castoffs prevail. The Dodgers seem to have the rail position in the race to the wire. If they win. it will be due largely to the great work accomplished by the play ers who were cast aside by other clubs. The Cubs didn't think very well of Larry Cheney and turned him over to the Dodgers for little or nothing. To day he ranks near the top of the Na tional league moundsmen. "Rube" Marquard was labelled "thru" a year ago by John McGraw. The Giant asked for waivers upon him and Wilbert Robinson took the erratic southpaw, paying $1,500. When McGraw col lected he felt very much like a man does who gets money under false pre tenses. And that very same "all in" Mar quard is pitching for an average close to .700. Other Starring Castoffs. Connie Mack let out Jack Coombs because Jack was old and his arm was bad. Jack has pitched a grand game for the Dodgers this year. Further more, he has been invaluable to the Dodger leader in the role of adviser. "Chief" Meyers was turned over to the Dodgers by the Giants because the New Yorkers figured the Indian had slowed up so much that he was use less. That same Meyers, has been one of the bulwarks in the defense of the Dodgers. Mike Mowrey was released by the Pirates two seasons ago because the red topped infielder "had aged too much to be of further value in the big leagues." Mike caught on with the Feds and played with the Pittsburg club. When the league turned up its toes and went to baseball heaven Mike was jobless and also older. Every body thought Charles Hercules Ebbets was suffering from infantile ailments when he signed Mike. Mike now is called "the brains of the Dodger infield." His fielding has been on a par with that of any third sacker in the game and Mike has been hitting with startling consistency. Even Jacobus Daubert ranks among the castoffs. He first based for Cleveland some years ago and was found wanting. He was chased to the minors and reclaimed by Ebbets. To day he matches up with the greatest first basemen in the game. Bouquets for Cutshaw. George Cutshaw isn't mentioned in the same breath with Eddie Collins. Johnny Evers and the other second basing stars, but Wilbert Robinson wouldn't wap him for a half dozen ball players. And Wilbert ought to know something about Georgia, oF boy, because he has been managing him for two years. "Cutshaw is one of those quiet, un assuming players, who plays a won derful game of baseball without giv ing the impression that he really is pulling something remarkable," de clared Robinson. "There is nothing flashy about Cutshaw's style, yet he plays a brand of baseball that is super ior to about nine-tenths of the second basemen in the game." Cutshaw has been one of the mieht iest factors in the nplift of the Dodg ers this year. He has been almost un canny in his pinch-hitting. On onlv a rare few occasions h" he been called upon to exude a safe swat that he hasn't delivered. And his fielding, especially in the tight moments of combat, has been dazzling.

To Establish Permanent Head quarters for "ext Year. The Topeka chapter of the Kansas Federation of Art held its first fall meeting Monday evening at the Fran cis Hodge studio. The matter of permanent quarters for the chapter, and also that of the formation of a program for the ensu ing year were discussed. It was practically decided to secure quarters on the second floor of No. 114 West Eighth avenue for a club room and exhibition place. This building contains a large, well lighted room, especially well adapted to the purpose, which can be secured on es pecially advantageous terms. -t the chapter rooms will be held, throughout the year, a number of arc exhibitions and lectures. The produc ing members of the chapter are plan ning an exhibition of their work to be given in this room during the State Teachers association meeting next month. It will include paintings, drawings aid decorated china. Early this winter the famous sculp tors, Gutzon and Solon Borglum, are to exhibit a large collection of their works in nearby cities, and it i: planned to have them bring, if pos Bible, their exhibit tc Topeka. mere are also several other im portant exhibits which the chapter expects to invite here. A committee on ways and means was appointed to arrange the year's program and report at the next meet ing two weeks from yesterday. The prime objects of the federation are to arouse an interest in art thru out Kansas, to improve the public taste, to educate school children along arustic lines, and to provide for a per William Griffith, of the Kansas uni versity, is state president: Georee M.

SAINT PAUL BIG BUSINESS TIMBER JOHN D. ASSERTS Cleveland, O., Oct. 3.- St. Paul, as a captain of industry, would have been a foeman worthy of his steel, John T. Rockefeller remarked after listening to a sermon in which the evangelist was cited as a splendid example of the forceful man. "ITes, Paul would have been a great success as a business man, Mr. Rockefeller added. "All he would have needed is capital and a man like him would have had no trouble get- that credit. He was persistent, and persistency is the thing that gets you somewhere in modern days. "What a leader he would have made for a big combine to be sure. His natural abilities would soon have lifted him out of the ruck and placed him among the topmost captains of industry." TAX ALL UNION MEN Workers Will Be Asked to Contribute $300,000 to Car Strikers. New York, Oct. 3. A tax of one dol lar is to be levied on every member of a labor union in Greater New York. This fund, from what at least $300,000 is hoped to be realized, is to go to the aid of striking carmen. Strike benefits amounting to $55, 000, or $5 per man, have been paid to all motormen, conductors, guards, signal men and switchmen who have been on strike three weeks or more. The return to work of il members of the Hebrew trades has proved con clusively that the general strike idea could not succeed here. Labor lead ers had predicted that 750,000 men would walkout last Wednesday. In all, 358 went out on the sympathetic strike. Monday 3,100 brewery work ers went back to work. About 800 window washers started a strike of their own Monday and when the companies tried to employ strikebreakers, smashed windows to ward which they previously had dis played a tender care. The strike breakers decided that Billy Sunday's advice to "brighten the corner where you are" was all wrong, and executed a strategic retreat to a stronger and less brittle line of defense.

"The state law fixing the limits of the school tax levy prevents the adop tion of an aggressive night sohool policy,"' was "the' statement marer:y-' the teachers' committee at the school board meeting last night. Last year the total enrollment in night classes was 32 5 and 329 sessions with an average attendance or 161 were held. Night schools are maintained at Lafayette and Branner. Many men and women, recent emigrants to this country, have attended them. The board adopted the followfng re port from the teachers' committee: "That the night school policy, which has" maintained in recent years. namely, that of conservatively meet ing the needs as they may be repre sented in petitions, be followed, owing to the lack of runds with wmcn to maintain an aggressive policy and that the teachers' committee and superintendent be authorized to estab lish such night school advantages in accordance with the aforesaid policy as in their judgment are necessary. The request for permission to use the school houses as polling places which was made by Etta Covell, city cilerk. was denied. H. B. Wilson was granted an in- crease of salary of $300 per year with out a dissenting vote. The salary is now $4,800 a year, effective during tho present BChool year.

President Thinks Whole Thing 3Iischicf Making Scheme. Poet Says Irish Hare Always Stood hy America. New York. Oct. 3. Fifteen hundred Americans thru whose veins flows I Irish blood in the Garden theater up I roariously denounced President Wil son for his attack on Jeremiah J. O'Leary, whom the president called a i "disloyal citizen." t The meeting w-as not held for the purpose of arraigning the president. It had been arranged a week ago as a forerunner of the great Irish relief j fund bazar, to be held in Madison Square garden October 1 to 22. i Peter Golden, the Irish poet, spoke in the defense of O'Leary and his 'dis L loyal" friends. It was evident from the manner in which the vast audience took up the cudgels for O'Leary that they inter preted the president's statement of O'Leary's "disloyal friends" to mean I Irishmen, and they resented the in sinuation. Irish Always Loyal. "Irishmea stood by America in 1776," shouted Golden, amid tumultu ous applause. "We stood by America in 1812 when England tried to stran gle the infant republic, and we stood by America when the English papers w-ere calling Abraham Lincoln "a baboon, and if danger comes again, no matter from what quarter, we will be found where we always have been found in the front ranks and we will not have to go on our knees beg ging for a pension from Andrew Car negie." Alphone Koelble, friend of Jere miah O'Leary, who has no doubt that he was included in the president's at tack upon "disloyal" citizens, told of hie birth in the city of New York. "The people of Irish and German r l i.i Ml V:: as S 1 ..ll'..!!'- 1'f ill' JF Jr .xi& slc Your Grocer ancestry in thi- country kept Amer ica out of the great war, no matter whether a proud gentleman may boast that he did so," said Air. .Koelble, dur ing his address. "I love America at least as much as that distinguished gentleman. My family fought on the side of the Union in the '60's, while his family was fighting for the disruption of the Union. i "When the present hysteria passes, the American people will remember who fought for the Union. "Then pity be on the man who tried to array one part of our population against another." Truth Society a Fake? Asbury Park, N. J., Oct. 3. Presi dent Wilson, in answer to the criti cism directed at him by 'the American Truth society and its president, Jere miah A. O'Leary, tames the ground that the organization is a fake insti tution. It can be stated with authority that this characterization of the society was made at the time the presi dent's reply to Mr. O'Leary's original telegram criticising the chief execu tive's alleged pro-British policies was made public. In that' message Mr. Wilson told Mr. O'LeA-y he would feel very much ag grieved if he (O'Leary) or anybody like him voted for him. It cannot be charged that this ap parent political indiscretion which threatens to eliminate a sufficient number of votes from the Democratic party to make a defeat certain in No vember was committed by a lieuten ant. Mr. Wilson was present when the O'Leary telegram and the reply were made public. His declaration that the American Truth society was a fake or ganization was made at that time. President Indignant. On what Mr. Wilson based his opin ion of the society of which Mr. O'Leary happens to be the president, was not stated. He appeared to be indignant that a message such as Mr. O'Leary had sent him should have been de livered to the president of the United States. The impression given by the presi dent to newspaper men present when the incident occurred was- that Mr. Wilson considered Mr. O'Leary a mis chief maker in politics. It is not a breach of confidence to state these facts. They are related herein to enable the public to view the controversy in a correct light. The incident occurred when the corre spondents assigned to cover the news at the summer White House were in vited to Shadow Lawn last Friday for their first conference with the presi dent. The purpose of the conference was to permit the newspaper men to get at first hand Mr. Wilson's campaign plans and his views on public ques- tions mentioned in the campaign being waged by the Republicans. W ilson's Plans. The correspondents did not know of the existence of the O'Leary telegram until the conference waa interrupted by Secretary Tumulty to make the dis tribution of the typewritten copies of the O'Leary message and Mr. Wilson's answer. Mr. O'Leary's stinging retort to the president's reply was ignored here. It is said, however, that a number of messages- have been received at the executive office approving Mr. Wil son's course in denouncing O'Leary's criticisms. A plan to make public these communications has been taken under consideration. Individuals in constant communica tion with Mr. Wilson assert that before making his speech at Shadow Lawn he realized he must win without the backing of the pro-German vote or the financial interests. Plainly, they say. he has set out to gain any ad vantage that may be obtained by denying these factions. ANTHONY WILL SPEAK Leavenworth Congressman to Topcka Road Boosters at Wakarusa. Congressman T. R. Anthony, Jr., of Leavenworth, will speak to 300 Tope ka good roads boosters at Wakarusa, either Thursday or Friday. Announce ment of Mr. Anthony's acceptance of an invitation to speak was made to day noon at the Commercial .club by Judge W. F. Schoch, Republican can didate for state senator. Final arrangements were made to day, at a meeting of the Topeka Auto mobile club, for the big good roads demonstration to be made near Waka rusa Thursday and Friday. It is ex pected that 300 Topeka automobile owners will leave the Commercial club at 7 o'clock Thursday morning to aid in cutting down a big hill near Waka rusa on the Topeka avenue road which connects the Santa Fe trail with the city. Curtis Myers of the state automo bile department, and Frank South wick, secretary of the Topeka Automo bile club, canvassed the business men of the city this morning, urging them either to appear at Wakarusa in per son Thursday or Friday or to con tribute money for the employment of laborers who will be taken to Waka rusa both mornings in auto trucks. It is believed sufficient money will be ob tained to employ 60 or 60 laborers who will work under the supervision of H. S. Putney, president of the Topeka Automobile club. Dinner will be served Thursday and Friday noon by the ladies of Wakarusa and Anthony will speak at one of these dinners. BUSY SEASON IX RUSSELL. Hotel Being Remodeled. Houses Full Vote Bonds lor School. Russell, Kan., Oct. 3. The old Rus sell House for many years owned by R. J. Edwards, has been sold to C. T. Keleher and has been thoroly modern ized, making it one of the best hotels on the Union Pacific west of Topeka. On the vacant lot which for years was an eye-sore beside the hotel a fine double office building is just be ing completed. One room will be oc cupied as a barber shop in connection with the hotel. There is not a vacant house in the town and people are moving in every week. Several new houses are now under construction. A-few weeks ago the town voted $40,000 in bonds for the erection of a modern high school building. In all probability it will be built of native limestone like the splendid court house built some fifteen years ago. The five big grain elevators are a'l full of wheat anl the two banks with combined capital and surplus of over $300,000 have deposits of nearly a million. NORMAL BREAKS RECORDS.

How to Absorb an Unlovely Complexion The face whirb is admired for its beaaty must have a satin-smooth skin, pink aut! white and youthful looking. The oulv thing known that can make such a com plexion out of an aged, faded, or discolor ed one that is, a natural, not a painted, complexion is ordinary mercolized wax. This remarkable substanre literally ab sorbs the unsightly cuticle, a little each day. the clear, healthy, girlish skin be neath gradually peeping out until within a wMk or so it is wholly in evidence. Of course such b!em:sbes as frecklea. moth patches, liver spots, blotchea and pimplel are discarded with the old akin. If you wil procure an ounce of mercolized wax at the drug atore. nse like cold cream every night, washing this off mornings, you'll find it a veritable wonder-worker. Another valuable natural treatment ia a wash lotion to remove wrinkles which can be easily prepared. Dissolve an onuce of powdered saxollte in a half pint of witch hazel. Bathe the face in this anrl'vou'll find it "worka like majric" Advertised menu 25 YEARS AGO IN TOPEKA From thm cobarmm mi THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL October 1891. Seldom has tbe Grand opera house been so packed as it wai at tbe People's party rally last night. By eight o'clock the throng fairly stuck out of doors. The cause of all this was that .Terry Simpson, whose name has become national In a year, was advertised to speak. Thousands of Topekans had never seen this new llcht in the politijil worlu uud hundreds turned out to Ret a look at the man who was first brought to notice by a strange story about his socks. Senator I'effer spoke first. He bejrau his address at 7:5 and closed at H:50. When he came on the stage be had a big armful of books which W. H. Bennlnpton took and tenderly de posited under the table. When the senator cot warmed up he-ojened the books and read long extracts therefrom. He arraign ed the Republican party for withdrawing from circulation the greenbacks issued at the time of the civil war. Tbe senator read puses of statistics. The audience tried to follow him but was soon lost in the maze of figures. In closing the sen ator made the following statement with uplifted hands: "I am against Wall street and all tbe machinations of that infamous place." Then the crowd called "Jerry. .Terry, Jerry" in thunderous tones. There was no mistaking that Jerry was a very popular man. He opened with: 'I have been speaking for two hours and a half against the wind and the Republican party. It may be out of place here to speak about socks but I am constrained to make one remark." Here the speaker put his thumbs in the arm boles of his vest and spreading his fingers walked to and fro. "The partisan editors say that I am a fool for talking about this subject. It was very funny when they talked about it and now that the tide Las turned they don't like to hear it. Those socks have passed into history. Tbey say I am a calamity bowler. And so I am as loug as one man rides in his palace car that 1,000 men go hungry."

WORK OF ROBBER GANG Officials Believe AVymore Yeggs Blew Bennington Postofficc Safe. Salina, Kan., Oct. 3. Were the Bennington and Longford postoffice robberies the work of the old Wymote, Neb., gang, which terrorized Kansas banks and postofflcea for years? Postoffice inspectors and county of ficials who are working on the case believe that it is and are after the members of the old gang, which was supposed to have been dispersed after the expose of the Callahan gang in Wichita several years ago. The only clue as to the robbers that has been found so far is that they came in motor cars and were experts in the use of nitro-glycerine and high ex plosives. The neatness with which the job was executed in both robberies is one thing that leads to the belief that the members of the Wymore gang are to gether and operating in this territory again. The gang at one time had some of the most expert "soup men," as nitro-glycerine yeggs are called in the underworld lingo, that have ever blown a safe. The cracks around the doors of the safe are covered with soft soap, the safe wrapped in blankets and the charge exploded by a fuse. An expert can take the door off a safe as clean as if it were done in a factory. PROFITS BY EARLY PLAXTIXG. Smith County Man Made Corn Crop Neighbors Lost Out. Smith Center. Kan., Oct 3.

Any woman can clean five dollars' worth in fifteen minutes at little cost by getting from the drug store two ounces of solvite and put this in two gallons of gasoline, where it quickly dissolves. Then im merse articles to be cleaned; rub a little and in a few moments the gaso line evaporates and the articles look bright and fresh as new. You can dry clean silk waists, dresses, coats, ribbons, kid gloves, stain shoes, evening slippers, shawls, belts, yokes, furs, boas, muffs, neck ties, lawns, dimity and chiffon dresses, draperies, fine laces, lace curtains, woolen garments, in fact, any and ev erything that would be ruined by soap and water as dry cleaning doesn't fade, shrink, or wrinkle, making pressing unnecessary. Your grocer or any garage will sup ply the gasoline and you can obtain two ounces of solvite at the drug store, which is simply a gasoline soap.
