FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 7, 1918 TEN PAGES THREE CENTS 18 BILLIONS THE COST OF A YEAR OF GOVERNMENT That Will Be 1919 Cost 10 Billions for 1920. ew Revenue Bill Will Raise Only One-Third. MUST BE BOND ISSUES Maybe There Will Be Bond Issues In Jfext Year. 12 Billions Left Unprovided For of 1919 Seeds. Washington. Feb.' 7. Records of the treasury department and the ap propriations committee of the house and senate today showed why con gress Is about to enact the biggest tax bill in history $6,000,000,000 revenue measure that will take an averagj of S60 this year and $40 next year from "very individual of the nation's 100, 100.000 population. These records show ti.at the govern nent will cost the people $18,000,000, 100 this fiscal year and $10,000,000,000 the 1920 fiscal year. The tax bill now before congress raises only one-third of the amount required for the tax spending year ending June SO, 1919 and only 40 per cent of the tax expenditures lor- tne tax spending year ending June 30, 1920. Where is the rest of the money com ing from? Bonds the Only Way. There is only one way to get it bonds. Therefore, unless the tax spending can be brought to the limits of tax paying, there will be bond issues not only in 1919 but in 1920. j For the 1919 tax upending year con gress appropriated more than $36, 000,000.000. But the ending of the war caused cancellation of contracts totalling more than $2,000,000,000 and a bill increasing $1,000,000,000 more. The ultimate total of such cancella tion will be about $18,000,000,000 or half the sum appropriated. This leaves $18,000,000,000 as the net cost of the government this year. Of this amount, the pending tax .bill is estimated to raise $6,070,000,000. Some congressmen say it won't raise more than $5,000,000,000 but if it raises the amount its sponsors hope for. it will leave approximately $12, 000.000,000 unprovided for. This means the two liberty bond issues this year, many members per lieve. Next year, the tax bill is estimated to raise a little less than $4,200,000, 000. Senator Smoot says it will nardr ly raise $3,000,000,000. But if it comes up to expectation there will be nearly $6,000,000,000 to be raised by more bond issues. Appropriations for the 1920 tax year bear, out the estimate of $10,000,000, 000 which has been made by members of the house and senate and which was forecast by former Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo before the sen ate finance committee. Passed 14 Money Bills. Congress passes fourteen regular appropriation bills for the support of the government. Those fourteen bills will total $5,507,000,000 for 1920. This figure is obtained from bills al ready passed and departmental -estimates on the others. If the army of occupation is kept in Germany a long time, or the total armed strength of the United States exceeds 500,000, this figure will be too low. inasmuch as the army appropriation bill carrying $1, 916,000,000 is based on army of 500, 000. On the other hand, if the three year navy program is rejected by con gress, that means some reduction, as the $746,000,000 navy bill is included in the $5,250,000,000. But in addi tion to these regular appropriations there are a number of extras, includ ing: Paying the guaranteed price for wheat $1,01)0,000,000 (estimated). Interest on bonds $1,000,000,00. Railroads, $750,000,000. Pay bonus for soldiers, $400,000,000. Labor department's housing plan '.ot yet decided on) $2,000,000,000. Food for Europe $100,000,000.

George S. Badders, well known To peka business man, former secretary of the Topeka Commercial club and a leader ir. civic affairs in the city at one time, has been paroled from the federal prison at Leavenworth where he served 33 months on a charge of misuse of the government mails. His term of five years would have been out in January, 1920. but he was granted a year's freedom for good be havior and his general services in the penitentiary. Badders has been visiting his moth er, Mrs. O. J. Badders. in this city. He arrived here Thursday afternoon and will leave soon for. Detroit where he will be employed by an automobile manufacturing concern. Prison Well Managed. "I have nothing but praise for the federal prison management at Leaven worth," George Badders said today. "Every opportunity is given the pris oner who is ambitious to make a new start in the world. Night- schools, shops and every form of labor are on George S. Badders. hand for the men to master. Any man can enter the prison and come out fully prepared to take up some useful occupation. Many of the instructors are college graduates and men of wide knowledge." Badders said the Leavenworth pris on was a pioneer. in prison reforms. "There is none of the lock-step, the stripes, the shaven head forthe pris oners. Prisoners are not kept silent, nor are they prohibited from reading newsappers. magazines and books. (Continued on Page Two.) TURN DOWN PLAN Railroaders in England Wrill W alk Out Yet. Subway Workers Settled, but Others Will ot. London, Feb. 7. -A nation-wide railway strike ag:.in became a possi bility today wien the National Union of Railway men repudiated the set tlement effected last night by subway workers. The threatened strike was intended largely as a sympathetic walkout to assist the subway men, but the rail way men who constitute the strongest of the rail unions, are understood to nave decided to go thru with the strike because of their own grievance. In expectation that electric light would be cut off Saturday night there was a great sale of lamps and candles here during the day, but at 6 o'clock in the evening it was announced that the electrical trades union strike had been postponed. It is understood the latest plan is to call out the engineers in London's sixty power houses at midnight Saturday. While the outside electrical workers will strike today there is another union the Electrical Power Engi neers' association which is a sort of aristocracy among electrical workers. Its secretary said that the members would stand by their work and would insure a reasonable supply of electric ity. One newspaper, here estimates that five million hours of working time is being lost dailv inart from rthe losses of shopkeepers, theaters and iiuiruaas as a result or the strike. One result of the inability of thousands to reach their places of business has been such a congestion of telephone busi ness that the managements of the companies have been forced to appeal to the public to limit itself to strictly necessary calls. While a majority of the newspapers are against the strikers, the Westmin ster Gazette, which is one of the most influential journals here, summarizes the men's case saying that the govern ment "picked industry to pieces for the var and must put it together again for peace." The strike has brought several movements for volunteers to carry on public works and for societies tn combine the middle classes for their own protection. CITY WATER 0. K.

BAR TO SOFT JOBS Bill Would Make Legislator In eligible for Appointive Office. Would Remove Senators. From Administrative Positions. r MEASURE IS IN HOUSE HOPPER Abolition of Trading Block System Sought by Martin. The Effort May Be Aimed at Allen Patronage Plans. Frank L. Martin of Reno county has started a war on the legislative pie counter. In a bill in the house today, Martin seeks' to make all legislators Ineligible for administrative state jobs for a period of two years .after' their tenure of legislative serviee. He pro poses to immediately legislate out of office some three or four state sena tors now holding state jobs. By the same token he blocks patronage dis tribution by Governor Allen. Martin's bill is an effective bar to an ancient system of using the legis lature as a trading block. In almost every session there has been a charge that soft jobs were being doled out to members who directed the affairs of the administration in power. These charges were made away back in the Hoch administration, when Stubbs reigned supreme, when he was sue- ceeded by Hodges and repeated when Governor Capper was in control of the state house appointments. Always and ever some one of a half dozen legislators somehow landed appoint ments. Remove Senators at Once. Now' Martin wants the system abol ished. But his bill doesn't stop with a mere abolition of the system. He wants at least three possibly four state senators forthwith removed from the state pay roll. After provid ing that no legislator shall be eligible to an administrative state office other than constitutional elective state of fices for. a period of at least two years after legislative service, Martin seeks to remove such officials now in service. No appointment of a legislator to an administrative state job may be made while the member is In legis lative service, the bill stipulates. Pas sage of the bill would immediately af fect Senator Walter E. Wilson, state bank commissioner; Senator Ben S. Paulen, state oil inspector; Senator Henry M. Laing. state tax commis sioner; and possibly Senator C. E. Carroll, an employe of the state insur ance department. Blocks Allen Plans? Nor does the-measure stop there. It locks the door against Gpvernor Al len's administration for the distribu tion -of-any patronage which might go" to 1919 law makers iqr faithful eervice. Maybe that is the bug under the chip. In legislative lobbies there is no reason why Martin should seek to legislate Senators. Wilson. Paulen, Laing and Carroll out of office. But there is a perfectly-good and water proof reason why hei might close the doors against any patronage distribu tion by the Allen administration. In the recent fight against the con stitutional convention, Martin was the center of attack by administration forces. The present bill would block the way against any efforts of legisla tors to curry state administration favor and win appointments. Direct effect of the bill would be to block admin istration influence in the legislature at least so far as the present or a suc ceeding administration might win sup port thru the distribution of- patron age.

WALES DEAD Newspaper and Advertising

Man Pneumon-a ICtlm. Was Operator Of. the Wales Agency In This City. Influenza, followed by its brother instrument of theGrim Reaper, pneu monia, has cut short the career of an other young Topeka business man. R. O. Wales, head of the Wales Adver tising agency, died this morning short ly after 5 o'clock at his home, 4324 West Euclid, after an illness of more than two weeks. There were few young business men in Topeka with more true friends or with brighter prospects for the future than R. O. Wales. A newspaper man who had "been thru all the mills," he had the faculty of making friends wherever he made acquaintances, and his thoughtfulness and consideration of those upon whom he chose to be stow these friendships cemented them to him in unbreakable ties. Wales was born and reared on a farm in southern Kansas. After com pleting his education he taught school and when the call came 'or volunteers at thfe outbreak of the Spanish-American war he enlisted and served until the end of the war. Then he decided to enter newspaper work and after working in southern Kansas for a while he went to Leavenworth, where he was telegraph editor of the Leaven worth Times for some time. To Topeka in 1909. On September 1, 1909, he came to Topeka and Jo'.ned the editorial force (Continued nn I'aee Tiro.1 NAME HEW TERMS Allied Premiers Meet To Tell Hnn "What Is What."

Mar shal Foch will go to Treves, February 17 to fix the conditions for a third re newal of the armistice and the dis cussion of the conditions to be im posed probably will -take up most of the time of the supreme war council session today.

Pub- lie opinion in France also is asking if the supreme war council is going to allow Field Marshal von Hindenburg to establish himself in Bromberg and prepare a campaign against Poland; which can only be supplied thru Dan- zig.

While, the measure close to the governor's heart a new constitu- tlon for Kansas died yesterday, and was promptly burled, the reforms In .the constitution tor which Governor A1,en has so vigorou8ly contended may ile brought about even more quickly than the governor himself thought possible. This thru the 'prescribed methods of making changes in the constitution as specified by the instrument itself; namely, the submission of as many "as threj amendments at any one general election. On last Tuesday this paper outlined a plan of this sort; but as the governor threw his whole soul and energy to ward securing a new1 constitution the plan could not for a moment, by him, be considered unless convention plans should "gang a-gley." It has been contended in the ex pressions of this paper that all the proposed changes advocated by Gov ernor Allen were practically the same as the changes favored by this Jour nal of education and enlightenment. The disagreement with the executive was only a matter of means. The governor, for whom is held the high est respect and admiration, before his nomination and election, and since, wanted to throw the old constitution away and get a brand new one. The State Journal thought the old stand by in most respects was a pretty good sort of a document for the state to anchor to, and favored the changes without the enormous expense, hair pulling, lobbying and turmoil generally that might have been forced upon a peaceful people by a constitutional convention and its train of good and evil, compelling a reappearance before the courts of most desirable sections now passed upon by the highest au thority in the land. To be very, frank, there are only a few changes that even the governor himself really desires, and these could be counted on one's fingers and can be voted upon in the regular way and become parts of the constitution, if the people desire, as soon as or sooner than a new constitution could be secured. Now what are these important changes? They were listed, and the list was short, in the State Journal of February 4. and here they are: 1 State Aid to Internal improvements relating to highway only. Provision encouraging farm owner ship, doing away with tbe enormous nuiu- oer or teuunt farmers now in Kansas ami bringing un tlie farm ownership of tilled land from about SO per cent or 25 per cent i toward the French percentage of about 00 r tf ut. t 3 To make number two abore efficient, it Is rhiinied that another change in the onatitutiou woulii be necessary providing for certain essential reforms ia taxation, numely, a provision doing away with both the taxation on tbe land and the mortgage thereon. This la sometime termed "dou ble taxation"'; alo, n proriaion classifying taxation bo that non-resiilent or vacant land, or land held for siieculattve nnritoaea, should carry higher taxes than Improved lands -or the improvements thereon. The amendment iiermlttiug an increase Psy fr the members of the legislature. 5 The amendment providing for four year terms Instead of two. 0 Short ballot. T1h covering changes in county government. 7 An amendment changing the constitu tion, permitting a n.njority or three-fonrtha of tbe Jury to return a verdict in -nlDor An amendment nermtttlnw mn I general election, aay four to alx three amendments to be submitted at one more. A number of these amendments are not very important; and can wait to be voted upon at the second general elec tion. For instance, Kansas practically has a four-year term now for those who have made good records in the two-year term. In regard to pay of members of the legislature: if this were -doubled or tripled many of the members would not be reimbursed for the time they lose or the expense they are put to coming here. In other words, the senators and representatives come here, not for the $3 per day, but for service to the state and for the honor of the position and the publicity and reputation they may secure to aid them in furthering ambition to other realms. In regard, to limited "Jury provision. we have gotten along for two genera- lions with the present system and we could exist duite satisfactorily two or threo vea ioneer lnreo yea longer. Concerning the short ballot for county reform, this. too. can wait for the second series of three, because th essential reforms In cmintv Snv. most 'a-iU" reforms In county gov- erjiuieni. were maae oy tne last iegis-1 lature and the one before it; namely, changing conditions that prevent the sheriff, probate' Judge and register of I deed8 for Instance, from making for tunes during their term, of office. This was done by legislative enactments re quiring these and other officials to tur.j in to the general county fund all their fees. above a reasonable compen sation for their services. Many opposed to creating an entire ly new constitution, that is, many mem- bers In the legislature who earnestly LdMat. th. .me that the ucation could be conducted over three amendments and the voter could vote intelligently on three amendments, whereby if he were compelled to vote upon the entire new constitution he might be confused, and the campaign of education involving each and every section and sentence in the constitu tion would be very difficult. The fact is recited that when Ore gon voted on its new constitution the ballot was about five feet long and was a mass of matter laid before the voter which he absolutely could not dl- gest. and in voting he did not know; really Just what he was voting for.

In fact they have spokan to the state administration leaders, to. Speaker Lambertson and even to Vv. linger about their feelings. All cf which has profited nothing minus. When Uplinger was appointed to the head of the important house com-i mittee, it created something of a sen-! Ration. Speaker Lambertson seem- to have been about the only person who really thought of such a thing. Up-; linger himself wasn't a candidate, and. the whole proceeding was considerable -of a surprise. i Uplinger hasn't talked about his new job cr his plans. The state ad-; ministration leaders have said noth- j Ing at least not out loud and Speak- J er Lambertson has stood pat. But the -gossip in legislative corridors is to th effect that things have been happen--' lng. To begin with, the labor lobby -is reported to have tried to rlde" Up-1 linger. That is a morj or less peril-j ous undertaking. Probably no one who really knows the quiet, soft spoken, inoffensive looking gentleman from Cheyenne would voluntarily tackle such a Job. Uplinger is A Democrat which is the more wonder for his appointment. He is Irish thrti and thru which should in itself be a warning. And last and far from least he is possessed of that positive quality so inelegantly referred to aa "intestines. He Can't Be Bluffed. s "Riding" Uplinger la not likely fa become a favorite pastime for any lobby which hangs around the legis lature this -7inter.- In the first place. Uplinger is the oldest house member on the minority side. He is now serv ing his fifth session. He. knows hie rights and he possesses a holy horror of being bluffed.

One of the favorite stories around the legislature Just now la about a la bor lobbyist who volunteered to ex plain to Uplinger Just what he would be expected to do. Non-committal, but" attentive, Uplinger listened to the lobbyist's story. "And If you don t make these concessions." quoth the lnhnr leader, "we will split Cheyenne' county and the state of Kansas wd; open. n Told Lobbyist Where to Go. J No family publication should Invade" the sanctity of the home with a ver-i batlm report of Mr. Uplinger's reply. It is asserted that the gentleman from. Cheyenne offered 14a support In secur ing the lobbyist free transportation tw an often highly recommended winter resort. And then he added some per sonal expressions which out In Chey-, enne county often cause people to buy" much arnica and stay indoors until the following week. But Mr. Uplinger hasn't missed a meeting ot his com- -mittee.

Uplinger is not allied with labor er corporation lobbies. He is merely endowed with a considerable stock: of good Judgment and a tendency to let both sides testify. -He haa a record for never having explained a vote and rarely participates in a debate. He was sent to Topeka to succeed the vet eran Joslah Crosby and has succeeded so well that running In opposition tar an unpleasant and unsuccessful tasiC' for any Cheyenne county Republican. He has refused repeatedly to be gag- 'ruled bv oartv caucuses and whips. It Isn't so much the things the la bor organization want that attracts attention around the legislative halls these days.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL- FRID A Y EVENING, FEBRUARY 7,-1919 mi FEE ROW IS ON Osteopaths, Undertakers, Eye Doctors, Dentists Involved. They Object to Knapp-Pomeroy Bill Raising Examiners' Fay. legislators""also peeved Members of Pharmacists' Board f Are Facing a Increase. Measure Would Put Chiroprae i vt". tors on Old Basis. .-CSne of the hottest .scraps that ha, fceen started since the leKisiature con vened has bepun in the senate commit jee xn fees and salaries and will prob ably he carried to the floor of the senate. It is not confined to the law frrmkers alone, but osteopaths, under takers, pharmacists, eye doctors, den iis.ts. State Auditor Knapp and chiro Icat.tie practitioners are involved. The fight is over a bill introduced by Senator Pomeroy at the instigation of State Auditor Knapp providing for regulation of the state boards of ex aminers and fixing the salaries of the members of these boards. The meas ure also prescribes the method In which funds of these boards shall be handled, one feature being that 10 per cent of the funds be turned over to jthe state antL that the remainder be ppent as tne Doarqs dictate, proviaea Knapp approves of the expenditures. Another section of the bill fixes the 3er diem of every member of every board at six dollars. I As soon as the bill was introduced the senate began to hear from the members of the professions affected. The dentists and embalmers have been paying" members of their boards only 'i a day and they are kicking because tfcm amount will be raised to $6. The yibtBrmaclsts have been paying mem ter of their state examining board $10 a day and naturally these mem bers are kicking1. I The eye men also have a kick and practically every prdfession has some 3;ind of a complaint to make that is ievery profession except that of the (chiropractors They are absolutely Satisfied with the provisions of the fproposed law because it would give ahem back what the legislature of 1317 Stook away and would permit them to use the fund that they have on de posit with the state treasurer. S But, in satisfying the chiropractic .practitioners Knapp has gotten him 'self into troubW with some of the leg islators because they feel that he is Hrying to dictate the kind of legisla tion they ho old put thru and is trying .to pass a -measure that would be ab solutely contradictory to the action 'taken by the last legislature. Some call the provision in the bill that would permit the reappropriation tot funds in such a way that the chiro practors would be able "lo use the .money now beinpr withheld from their ?board a jnUcr. Other seem to think lit 'too serious to be termed a joker. .aid there are still othtrs who are in clined to believe that the chiroprac tors should be allowed to use money that rightfully belongs to them in any ?vay tney please. At a special meeting held by the tscnate committee to hear complaints jtne provision of the bill that makes it I favorable to the chlropratic prac titioners was discovered and Knapp, who was present, admitted that this provision would permit the very thing that the senate two years ago refused to permit when it passed the Bruner bill divorcing the chiropractic board from its funds. Bruner has fought the chiropractors since th, time Gov .jeShor Hodges refused to appoint a JJbard for them and the Wamego senator has contended and still con tends that they do not live up to the Ia-ws of the state and therefore have tjMi standing and no right to have a ttate boarJ of examiners. If the Pomeroy bill comes out of the .committee it is expee'ed that Bru nr will lead the fight on it and that "frrw will be r esisted by whatever in fluence the dentists and undertakers Vnd pharmacists and eye doctors can Mr4ng to his aid. The chiropractors will certainly line up for it if it re mains in its present form One of the complaints some of the professions are making against the measure is that under its provisions they would not be able to pay so much as" the soft drink expenses of delegates to conventions or to buy postage stamps with money from their funds without Knapp's approval. geoTbadders HERE (Continued from l'age One.)

"l--- CAPITOL BUILDING LOAN 534 Kansas 'Avenue club brought him into close relation ship with the most prominent business men of the city and it was not long after he set up in business for himself until he was classed as a prominent' business man and was looked upon as one of the young business geniuses of the city. His store was prosperous and there was no doubt that it was doing a flourishing business. Badders ap peared prosperous both In business and social circles. Then came the crash, the filing of suits by the big eastern houses that had sold him goods, rumors that the Badders Cloth ing company was insolvent. The company was placed IrKthe hands of a receiver. George A. Clark being named reeeiver. And then the United States government took a hand and on April 22, 1914, the federal grand jury sitting at Topeka indicted Badders on twelve counts, the princi pal charges being that'he had used the mails to defraud eastern creditors. Badders always maintained but for the Interference in his affairs by cer tain of his eastern creditors, who wanted possession of his store, he could have paid all claims in full. Following the grand Jury Indict ments Badders was taken into cus tody but was released at once when a 95,000 cash bond was furnished by himself and J. R. Mulvane The trial first came up at October term of the United States district court at Leavenworth, but Badders asked for and was given a continuance. The case was then called January 20, 1915, when the district court was in session at Kansas City, Kan. Seventy Witnesses Called. Seventy witnesses, including judges of the Kansas supreme court, promi nent lawyers, business men, bankers and newspaper publishers were called, most of them by the attorneys for the creditors. Testimony that was as in. terestins as popular magazine Action was brought out and is now on file in the office of the clerk of the United States district court in the federal building here. The filed documents in the case take up several compartments in. the clerk's tiling cases. The bill of exceptions alone covers 961 pages and there are 106 separate "exhibits as well as the motions, subpoenas, orders, and numerous other records. The jury before which Badders was tried found him guilty on seven counts and he was ordered sentenced to the federal penitentiary at Leaven worth for Ave years and to pay fines and coats amounting to 17,000. Bad ders. however, appealed to the United States supreme court and it was not until March 6. 1916, that the United States supreme court affirmed the judgment of the district court. Bad ders was then sentenced to serve his term and was taken to Leavenworth by the United States marshal on May 22, 1916. By getting credit for good time be hr.vior Badders would have been re leased next' January.

Soon after coming to Topeka Wales decided that he would specialize in advertising, and took up work- in the advertising department of the State Journal. He remained with this paper until August, 1917, when he resigned to go into business for himself. The Wales Advertising agency was opened at once and from its start it hps been one of the most successful of Topeka's new business concerns. Thru his energy, industry and honest dealings Wales soon built up a "busi ness that extended beyond-Topeka and Kansas, his agency placing advertising in some of the leading magazines of the United States. During the last year fate put this stout-hearted Kansan to a severe test, and death hovered around his door many times. His wife was in the hos pital for many weeks following a ser ious operation and then both of his little boys. Hugh and Max, were ill. one of them lingering for many days between lif and death with the sick ness that finally felled the father in the beginning of his career and took him from those he loved and to whom he devoted h'.s life and his energies. Smiled Troubles Away. During all of this the reporter, who had known no flUHculties too great to be overcome in getting a story and the advertising man who had known no hardships too great to endure to Viand an advertisement," smiled thru sleepless nights and days filled with hard labor while he thanked God that his trials were no worse and that the lives he loved were spared. Wales is survived by his' widow and two sons, his mother and two broth ers. His mother and one brother live in Springfield, Mo., and one brother in Merrick, Okla. The funeral will be held Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock but ihe complete arrangements have not been made. BAR SOFT JOBS (Contlnned from Page One.) duced a bill providing that co-operative companies might engage in the banking or mining business, as well as in manufacturing and mercantile pur suits, now permitted under the state laws. Efforts have been made at various times to open the doors for co-operative concerns, but the legis latures have denied them the right to extend operations to the banking field. Lauver's bill seeks to widen the scope of co-operativ operations. White of Saline county today intro duced a bill in the house which would compel the railroads to build guards at "all cowpaths. The White bill places power in the public utilities commis sion to direct the construction of cross ings and building of cattle guards at all farm crossings where there is need for protection of live stock. Orders of the state commission in such cases would be final. Giant Shortstop. Signs Up. New York, Feb. 7.

And Would Hare Private Oper ation of the Systems. GIVE CHEAPER FINANCING Brotherhoods Are Heard by a Senate Committee. They Want No Secretary of Transportation In Cabinet. Washington, Feb. 7. Railroad la bor interests today proposed govern ment ownership and private operation by one large corporation co-operatively organized, and sharing profits with employes, as their solution of the rail way problem. Testifying before the senate inter state commerce committee on behalf of the four leading trainmen's brother hoods and other employes' organiza tion, Glenn E. Plumb, of Chicago, rec ommended that the government ac quire all railroad property at a price fairly representing the physical valua tion and entrust the operation to a corporation to be directed jointly by employes officers and the government. Earnings would be divided equally among employes, and the government and rates would automatically be re duced when profits amounted to more than a fixed rate. Help-Security Owners. This plan, it was argued, would provide cheaper financing, give stabil ity to income to-security owners, pro mote efficiency of operation thru sharing profits, remove railroad op eration from partisan politics, com pose conflicts between federal and state authorities, keep rates at a .mini mum, eliminate complications in rate schedules and provide a means of making communities benefiting by ex tension pay for them. The corpora tion would be subject to regulation by the interstate commerce commis sion, which would retain fts present regulating powers. The brotherhoods objected to the railway-executives' proposal for estab lishing a secretary of transportation, saying this would constitute "regulat ing the people in the interests of capital." They also protested against the railroad administration's order for bidding railway employes taking part in politics, arguing that the solution of the' railway problem is a political issue and that employes are entitled to participate. An Operating Corporation. Mr. Plumb suggested organization of an "operating corporation where operating ability constituted its sole capital." "A certain agreed percentage of the net results of operation should be long to this corporation." he said. "The stock of the corporation should be held in trust for the benefit of the employes. The corporation would be administered by a board of directors who we suggest tentatively, should be held in this manner: One-third to be elected by the classified" employes be low the grade of appurfited officials; one-third by the appointed officials and employes; that final third bemg appointed by the president of the United States." "With one-half of the profits going to the government and the other half to the corporation to be distributed among emp' "yes." Mr. Plumb aid, "the men would be actuated by a de sire to promote efficiency and economy as a means of increasing profit. "Such a scheme," he said, "would render to the public all of the benefits of unified operation. It would' elim inate all the 'costs -of competition, without losing any of the benefits of competition. Remove Them From Politics. "This would remove the operation of the railroads from politics. Gov ernment officials could not possibly have anythiu to say about the em ployment of men or officials of the road. They would have nothing to say as to construction or extension of hew lines. "The government would hav no power to exact from the pMblic a re turn which was more than adequate for the maintenance and operation of the service and the public would not need to be protected against high rates and diversion of profits to private in terests. "You could provide that whenever the total amount of net revenue paid to the government exceeded 5 per cent of the gross operating revenue, the in terstate commerce commission should thereupon adjust the scale of rates in such manner as to absorb this 5 per cent, thereby producing an equivalent of a 5 per cent reduction in rates. age and employment disputes would be settled by wage boards and adjustment similar to those now main tained by the railroad administration. Provide Capital Cheaper. The government could provide cap ital from one-fourth to one-half cheaper than private Investors, said Mr. Plumb, and this should mean an annual saving under government own ership In the cost of capital of from four to six hundred million dollars. The result might be a reduction of 10 per cent in rates, he declared, tail road security owners would have a fixed return," and this, he predicted, would eliminate continual agitation before congress and state legislatures for measures affecting financial in terests of railroads. New territory, said Mr. Plumb, would be made to contribute its portion of the costs of the extensions, somewhat commen surate with the increase in value which the land within that territory would realize by reason of the construction of such extensions. Attacking the proposal for a federal department of- transportation. Mr. Plumb said if this were done for rail roads it would- soon be demanded for the steel business, packing business and other industries, and "very quick ly we would have a sovereign people enslaved by regulations to protect in the hands of a few the capital which they had' accumulated from the labor of all." DEATH IX A FRENCH WRECK. Authorities Pnzzled Over Accident on Paris-Met Railway. Paris, Feb. 7. Five persons were killed and. sixteen injured in an acci dent last night on the Paris-Metz rail way line. The accident occurred un der circumstances whichare puzzling the authorities. As the train entered a tunnel two coaches recently handed over by Ger many became filled with obnoxious gases. As soon as fresh air came in contact with the gases, the coaches became a mass of flames and the pas senger fled in terror. STRIKE PARALYZES (Continued from Page One.l with the other industries. The Star alone of the three evening papers got out an edition last night. With the newsboys on strike there was no means, of circulating. Newspapers Arc Bit. Etereotypers returned to the Star Thursday afternoon after" they had walked out from all the newspapers as individuals. They made plates for the one edition, and then walked out again, saying they were done. Even the Union-Record, published as the of ficial organ of the striking unions, did not publish. It served notice, how ever, that if any of the other papers published or attempted to break the strike, it would obtain exemption and publish. The strike's effect was instantane ous at 10 a. m. Thursday. Simultane ously all industries closed. Restau rants closed their doors. Cars were driven to the barns. Jitney drivers quit. The streets were filled with pri vate automobiles homeward bound. With hungry hordes swamping the twelve commissaries maintained by the strikers thruout the city and the food situation hourly becoming more serious, strike committees were at noon conferring on the proposal to open all unionised restaurants under direction of the cooks and waiters. In that event the striking teamsters promised to haul supplies. Meantime, thousands of men and women who had failed to make emer gency provisions were walking the streets vainly endeavoring to get even a sandwich. The few non-union restaurants which had kept open yesterday were locked today for no supplies were mov ing. Up to shortly before noon, stew served on a paper plate with dry bread and coffee was to be had at the union commissaries for 35 cents, or 25 cents if the patron displayed a union card. The strike committee promised bet ter service by Saturday. There was no hint of violence today. United States May Step In. Washington, Feb. 7. The national war labor board may take definite action late this afternoon to settle the Seattle strike, w. Jett Lauck, secre tary of the board, announced. OLD ORDER GONE (Continue-! from Page One.) The work of the assembly was not expected to be long drawn out, as virtual agreement cn all the more im portant questions had been reached. Weimar is well guarded in anticipa tion of Spartacan interruption. In ad dition to a large force of picked po licemen. there are infantry, cavalry and artillery units from the front. Delegates and other visitors have been assigned to a certain place to eat and another place to sleep. They are provided with cards calling for a cer tain allowance of sugar, fats and other zooa. A sudden drop In temperature had not affected the ardor of the delegates, who hurry about in slefghs. lining up support for their pet projects. Herr Ebert said he hailed the deci sion of German-Austria to bring, about "that national unity of the German race which alone, can afford a guar antee of a flourishing economic life." The assembly, 397 members of which were present, adopted the ojd standing orders of the reichstag as temporary rules of procedure. The assembly meets again today. Opposition Jeered Ebert. The speaker was interrupted often by derisive comments from opposition delegates and was encouraged only by mud applause from his supporters, tho the latter appeared to be greatly in the majority. Once he was forced to pause and plead with the opposition to hear him. In referring to the war. Ebert said it was lost by the kaiser and his government. This r-jsembly assumed- a business like air that contrasted sharply with the festive appearance of the theater in which the meeting was held. Great masses of flowers, brought ffom Ber lin, decked the stage, while other- parts of the building were buried under a camouflage of flags and bunting Many of the delegates, however, removed their coats with the air of men about to undertake a task demanding great physical as well as mental exertion. Some of the delegates obviously un used to taking part in public gather ings, were self-conscious and uneasy. responding to the roll call snappily and snmiy. The entire German cabinet and Its Iarg staff crowded on to the rotrum. Distinguished visitors. Including Presi dent Zitz of the Austrian republic, sat nenmd the ministers- Ordinary spec tators were few, owint. to the limited capacity of the uoper gallery in which they were restricted. Newspaper cor respondents, movie operators and pho tographers totalled more than 200. Crowds outside the theater finally gave up trying to push their way into the already overcrowded building, and pave their full attention to a band concert in a nearby park.

LEAGUE FUNCTIONS ARE FIXED Compulsory Arbitration AT ill Jfot Be in Constitution. But League Will Be Able To t Enforce It3 Decisions. Paris, Feb. 7. Substantially one hlf of the draft of the constitution for the society ot nations has been covered by the chief conferencecom mission dealing with this question, it was officially announced todayy In approving a number of additional ar ticles of the draft, the commission reached an accord, it is stated, on cer tain questions of the greatest impor tance, concerning the positive func tions of the league. The acceptance of these additional articles was provisional. The com mission has appointed a general sec retariat consisting of M. Clusel, Lord Eustace Percy of the British foreign office and M. Shepherdson. Premier Venlzeios of Greece, Pre mier Krumarg of Jugo-Slovia, M. Dmowski of Poland, and M. Dla- mobdy of Rumania sat as members of the league of nations commission rep resenting 'their respective nations. Eleven Articles Complete. Eleven articles of the project of the society of nations were discussed and approved with small modifications by the peace conference commission on that subject at its meeting last night at which President Wilson pre sided. The only article not approved was the paragraph concerning aboli tion of compulsory military service unless required by reasons of national defense under extraordinary circum stances. Premier Orlando of Italy op posed the paragraph, remarking that if conscription were abolished an at tempt to revive it might lead to seri out trouble, even a revolution. Leon Bourgeois, one of the French members Joined Premier Orlando strongly opposing the abolition of con scription. He declared that France, owing to her geographical position, needs a standing army and could nev er consent to strip herself of her de fenses. The paragraph was then can celled and it was decided to leave each country freedom to select a system of recruiting its forces up to tne amount of troops which will be fixed later by the society of nations. Another article which caused ani mated discussion was that concerning the method of applying military coer cion to the countries refusing to com ply with the decision of the society of nations or breaking its rules. Owing to the very conflicting views expressed the commission decided to postpone a definite decision until another meet ing. Yes, Work Will Go On. Conferences between President Wil son aria Premier Lloyd George are un derstood to. be in progress for the pur pose of determining the program to be followed by the American and Brit ish delegation, respectively, while the president and the premier are absent. The president and premier are arrang ing affairs so that the business of the conference may move smoothly after their departure, .while the campaign for speed in dealing with the peace settlement which they have been head ing is considered to be responsible for much of the more rapid progress that the conference has mace. It is stated that Premier Lloyd George will probably leave Paris on Saturday to be absent for two or three weeks. Japs Are With AVilson. Tokio, Feb. 7. The Japansese pub lic appears to accept President Wil son's principle that German colonies shall be controlled by an international arrangement. All Tokio newspapers today editor ially agreed that the Wilson idea was acceptable. The question was discussed by the advisory board on foreign affairs. Will Have the Force. Paris. Feb. 7. While it now seems certain that compulsory arbitratfon will not be written into tho constitu tion of the league of nations, the league will not lack means of enforc ing its decision, the United Press learned from an authoritative source today." Compulsory arbitration nieans that disputants would be compelled not only to submit their differences to the league 'but would have to abide by its decisious. As the matter now stands, the league will force submis sion of arbitrable questions and will prevent recourse to arms until a de cision is rendered. What action will be taken in case a disputant disregards the mandate of arbitration, it is im possible to learn at this time, but it is believed the blockade which proved so effective In the case of Germany, will constitute the league's weapon. Boycott or Blockade. The means of handling refractory nations, should they disregard the award of the arbitration board, also remains a mystery. Among the theories advanced in this connection, was that the blockade, or at least a boycott, would be employed. Following official announcement that the special committee working on tho league constitution was a "third" thru its task, it became known that instead ot completing the draft this week, as previously announced, a week or ten days would be required to finish the work. Next to the league of nations, the most important committee sessions now in progress are those of the repa ration and newly organized blockade commission. The economic program for the entire world is involved in these discussiens Not only must It be determined what Germany should pay in the way of damage, but what she is able to pay and how she is to earn the money with whieh to pay. The various powers first file memo randa setting forth their claims. The bieest problem.- however, centers on how Germany can pay. This neces sitates working out an economic scheme. She must not only make money in marks but in the currency of the associated powers. This means that'her exports must exceed her im- pnrtfi. the amount of her credit being in proportion to the excess of her exports. The number of territorial conflicts ftowmaking their appearance in peace conference circles." it xs said in some quarters, ia attributable to the prospects- of an early realization of a society of nations plai.. which -wilt In volve the examination of all 'such claims bv a legal tribunal ot- the inhabitants of the districts in dispute. The community of interest of some nations in certain questions ha led to hints of -ro-operation among those nations to make up a majority- in the conference. Gossip in the corridors even msnt: ,ns threats of resistance to any decisions adverse to those inter ests. The special -commission work ing on the society of nations plan is notNioved by these rumors, however, and is going About its work quietly but rapidly. At the same time the supreme coun cil in short daily sessions continues its policy of hearing all claims ana gen erally referring them to committees for examination, altho this procedure it is understood is not entirely agree able to "all the powers interested. Talk of Secret "Treaties. Secret treaties made under the stress of war and which may be considered out of harmony with the principles on which a society of nations is being or ganized has provoked a great deal of comment. The American delegates at least have said that such agreements insofar as they are in conflict with the principles of a society or nations, must give way. The Russian problem again will come to the fore today in connec tion with the acceptance by the Mos cow Bolshevik government of the in vitation to the conference on the Princes Islands. --In some quarters the action of the Moscow government has been hailed with satisfaction and relief in view of the promise it gives ot an immediate termination of Bolshevik attacks on the little allied army in the Archangel sector. The society of nations' Commission of the peace conference held a session Thursday night which was attended by all the nineteen' members and which continued for three hours.

PLAN READY SOON League of Nations Soon Will Be a Reality. France Opposes Raislnfc of Blockade on Germany. Paris, Feb. 7. Capt. Andre Tardieu, one of the French representatives on the committee on the society of na tions, announced tonight that the program for the society will be ready some time next week. He also said: "France is opposed to the raising of the blockade on raw materials against Germany until her damage to French industries has been made good. Ger many was responsible for the destruc tion of one-third of the factories of France and if allowed to resume pro duction with equal facilities it will be a serious economic handicap for us." Captain Tardieu expressed the be lief that the allies wolud not disagree with the contention of France. He added that the blockade committee advocates the raising of the raw ma terial embargo against neutrals at the earliest possible date with the under standing that materials are not to be tc-shipped to Germany. OPPOSTa BI6NAVY Extension Plan Facing; More Opposi tion Than Was Expected. Washington, Feb. 7. Little navy men attacked the large navy bill here in a way to indicate that the measure is facing stronger opposition than expected in the house. Representative. Saunders, Virginia, declared that the house was asked to vote a big navy blindly and apparently with this country threatened by no nation of naval strength equal to our own. v "We. are not building against any nations, we are building for the United States," Padgett replied. Meyer London. New York Socialist, declared that the president had been forced to ask a big navy because he had not received support at home for his program of disarmament and league of nations.

There were no Hoover regulation on the refreshments and the musical program was practically continuous with enough speech making thrown in to keep the "jazz" from jarring the jpints of the building out of place. In one end of the building Maggie Jiggs operated an exclusive social cir cle for the women and served them the kind of refreshments they liked. In the other end of the building Dinty Moore's saloon was in operation with its thirst signs In display, its bar, over which imitations of the real thing were served, and its lunch counter stacked high with "hot dog. pretzels and all the delicious things a regular bar room lunch counter has. And Johnny Marshall was there wearing a new silk hat that he won on the war, playing the part of Jiggs. Also there were ditch digging shovels stacked around the entrance to the "saloon."

T indicates an amount too small to measure. The total fall of moisture over Kansas last month was one of the smallest ever recorded in any month in the history of the state but the heavy snow which blanketed the ground when the month began, melted in most parts by the 15th and soaked the ground so thoroly country roads were almost impas sable and it was too wet to turn stock in on wheat pasture, except in limited localities. Some western counties still had from 6 to 10 inches of snow on the ground when the month ended. IS GREAT MONTH Discharge of Men of Tenth Di vision a Large Job. Evii Greater Than Handling of S9th 18 Months Ago. Alert 'aturc Always in Tune to Meed of Moment. Indianapolis. Ind., Feb. 7. Tribute to the life and patriotism of Theodore ioosevelt was paid by Will H. Hays, chairman of the Republican national committee at the .Roosevelt memorial session of the Indiana legislature here today. "The lesson of patriotism of Theo dore Roosevelt," Chairman Hays, who lielivered the principal memorial ad tiress, declared, "is his monument. "He was for peace when peace was right, but when to win right for right's sake it was necessary, then he was for war or whatever else was needed, and above all. he was for America eternally, and there he was the sever est partisan." the speaker continued. "To follow this man's life is a. suc cession of steps from peak to peak; to describe his accomplishments is a re view of superlatives. He had more knowledge about more things than any man, amazing all with whom he came vin contact by the breadth of his knowledge, prodigious beyond com parison. He was intensely human in the freedom of unselfishness, and his name is synonomous with courage and activity. "His alert and intense nature was always in tune to the needs of the mo ment, but he went deeper into the fundamentals than any one of his period. Tn office, while wise men were asking what might best be done, Roosevelt would reply, 'The best has been done' and he was right. As early as 1902 he spoke the language the kaiser understood and never ceased to speak thaf language while he 4ived. "His career as a member of the legislature, as civil commissioner, as assistant secretray of the navy, colonel of the Rough Riders, governor of Xew York, vice president and president of the United States, as author, historian, naturalist, hunter, sportsman, hus band, father, citizen, carried thru it all as the one controlling motif, a consistent determination to do what he thought was right. It mattered not one wlyt how that course affected himself or anything, if he thought it was' right, he did it and he did it to the hilt. "'I have kept the promise that 1 made to myself when I was 21. That promise was to live my life to the hilt until I was 60, and I have kept that promise." "These words Theodore Roosevelt said tff his sister a few davs before he died." Mr. Hays said, "and this in deed he did. "We cannot say that he was a typical American because he was too unlike to be typical: he had no coun terpart: the foremost American yes: the leader of leaders, yes: but above all. he was the supreme typification of that intangible thing we love to r. SENATE NOTES Items of Interest From Upper House of legislature. Leavenworth, Kan., Feb. 7. It was some eighteen months ago that the men who were later organized into the 89th division began to appear in Camp Funston. America marveled at the speed with which civilians, from all walks of liie, were transformed into soldiers and it was indeed worthy of note, when the disadvantages at which the war department worked, were con sidered. But the present month has seen even greater things happening in the way of 'transformation." However, the work accomplished shortly after the entry of the United States into the war is being undone, as it were, and soldiers are being turned into civilians with equal speed. Approximctely 1,500 men a day are being turned out of the big Kansas cantonment, and within a very 'Short time practically all of the members of the 10th division, which was the last trained at Funston, will be in their homes. When the draft machinery was put into motion early in the war, it was something entirely new to eveiyone, and the possibilities of this form of raising an army were unkonwn. It was known that a large army could be raised in this way. but it was thought that many monahs would pass before the results of these methods, in the form of a trained division, would be shown. However, when the 89th di vision, which was the first formed at Funston, entrained for the east, ready for duty overseas, a surprise was forth coming. Organized the Tenth. Following the departure of the first Missouri and Kansas division for duty in France, the 10th was organized. That was August 10. and within three months that division was also declared ready for duty abroad. Men were be ing received and trained rapidly. "But how about getting all of these men out of the service?" That was the question put forth when the armistice wr signed, and it was one that loomed up in the opinion of the ordinary citizen, unfamiliar with the methods of the war department in handling large situations. It was nat urally supposed that months would be required in closing the records of some 27,000 soldiers who comprised the Tenth division, to say nothing of the 89th and 35th divisions, which are overseas, and which must be returned to Camp Funston for demobilization. It was early in December that the announcement- that 1ft nor j-nnt 1 f tho Tenth would be discharged. Within two weeks the announcement that 50 per cent would be released was made, but before this number could be re turned to their homes, the demobili zation of the entire division was ordered. Fifty Blanks Per Man. When it is considered that some fifty blanks must be executed for each soldier discharged, some idea of the work on hand at Funston can be gained. It would seem that many weeks would be required to discharge even the members of one division. However, the same systematic methods t'xat were put into practice when thou sands of men were being received at the big Kansas cantonments are in use now. and the middle of the present week will see practically all of the men of the Tenth division back In their homes. When the task of receiving thou sands of men from all sections of the Middle-West was begun at Funston. the "mill" or receiving station was established. Here a system was de vised whereby the men passed from one department to another, and were turned out soldiers in every phase, within two hours after they arrived in camp. That same system is being used in the demobilization. The men are handled in organiza tions and there is no confusion of any kind. The number of men to be discharged each day is announced four or five days in advance. Each man must be given a physical exami nation before being discharged, and this is received three days before a man is discharged. Then the final pay rolls are prepared and checked, and the discharges filled out. When the men are ready to leave they are sent thru the "miH" and receive their discharges and final statements. This latter requires only thirty minutes to an hour and the men are ready to re turn home. 41st Xot Arretted. At present there is but one organiza tion within the Tenth division which has not been affected by the discharge order. That is the 41st infantry, which is a regular army organization. There are many, drafted men in this regiment, and regulars will be sent to the organization to replace them. Last week the- announcement was made that the middle of February would see the drafted men of the 41st on their way home. The opinion is general that the 89th and 35th -divisions will be sent to Funston for demobilization. Both were selected for the army of occu pation following the signing of the armistice, but both have been with drawn and are returning to France. Will the next few weeks see one or both of these divisin.i.. in the LT.iittd States, ready for demobilization? That is what the hurried discharge of the Senator Whitney, of Agra, is after the cement interests. Whitney has in troduced a bill to prevent discrimina tion 'and. unfair trade in the purchase and sale of commodities and provid ing drastic punishment for those who violate its provisions. The Agra sena tor's measure differs from the present law on the statute books in that it ap plies to discrimination against indi viduals as well as classes and in that it permits a county attorney to bring action as well as the attorney gen eral., "This bill is aimed at all per sons and corporations practicing dis crimination," Whitney said, "but it is particularly aimed at the cement in terests. In Phillips county we have a large co-operative business association with more than one thousand mem bers and with as good a line of credit as any business in Kansas. This asso ciation began to handle cement and we received three car loads. Then the merchants in competition with the ..s sociation went to the cement associa tions and told them their troubles and insisted that the cement people give them protection in their trade. This evidently has been done as we have not been able to buy a spoonful of ce ment in months. Every farmer's or ganization in the state is in favor of the passage of this measure." Before the end. of another week it is more than probable that the new attorney general will be able to start investigations to determine whether or i not a gnonopoly existed in Kansas at j the time bran doubled in price over j night a few weeks ago. The senate i has passed the Montee anti-trust j measure, or rather it has passed a similar measure that was passed by i the house and has substituted a senate j judiciary measure that extends the power of the attorney general by giv- j ing him the right to require all wit nesses to bring into court whatever records may"be required to. get at the j facts sought. The early passage of j this measure was urged by Governor Alien at the beginning of the session, and there will undoubtedly be some action taken to test ou'. its power as! soon as it becomes a law. The senate Is now working like a steam shovel and is grinding out busi- -ness with the regularity of a grist mill, i A total of sixteen bills was perma nently removed from the calendar i Wednesday on third reading and the first house measure providing for leg islative expense appropriations also was enacted. In addition to the hills passed," a j large number of measures were threshed out in the committee of the whole and were ready to be given their final treatments today. Aside from those nrovidine state 1 Institutional appropriations and tre anti-trust measure, most f the bilis j enacted Wednesday were of little i state-wide interest. j Senator Baxter I. McCIaln of loin, j has made his biennial protest asainsti the Kansas primary law. Mcclain's measure is very similar to the one he introduced two years ago. It provides for the naming of all state officers as well as congressmen and United States senators in conventions, but provides that the delegates to conventions be nominated in primaries at which county officers would be nominated. The primary dates would be changed to spring instead of late summer un der the McClain bill. Appropriation measures providing funds for the Norton sanatorium, the John Brown memorial and the state penitentiary have been turned in by the senate ways and means committee- Sheep owners in Kansas may soon be able to get pay for their losses caused by dogs from the dog tax fund. A bill introduced by Senator Joe Sat terthwaite providing for this ha3 been passed by the senate. It provides that all funds not used in paying for sheep losses be turned over to the school fund. Senator J. K. Hilkey of Lyndon has -.-oted no on tbe last seven apptopria ticn measLires passed upon the recom mendation of the ways and means committee. Hilkey says his people are opposed to granting a 25 per cent in crease to the employes of the state in stitutions.

College Head Says Mesopotamia Should Be Retained by English. Chicago, Feb. 6. It will be a crime if Great Britain is not permitted to retain its control over Mesopotamia, according to the belief expressed here today by President Harry Pratt Jud son of-the University of Chicago, who returned yesterday from a trip to Persia. Independent states formed by the wreck of Turkey wiK likely obtain stable government standing by assis tance from a power or powers ap pointed by the league of nations, he as serted in an address to the student body last night.

S Frederic J. liasklns, Director. Washing ton. D. C. The failure of the plan for a con stitutional convention is no loss to Kansas but on the other hand will be the means of savins the state a con nderable sum of money. All the real ty? important constitutional changes which may be deemed advisable can Be made by means already established as quickly as could have been done thru a constitutional convention. There is absolutely no assurance that any new constitution which might Have been' framed would have received nal approval by jthe voters. The op portunity remains to the. legislature to propose three amendments, which Jliall be considered most needed, for ratification by the people in 1920. rontons these should be one enabling the state to enter upon a program of road building and one providing for a revision ,of the tax laws. Bimetalism, which was supposed to ie dead, is showing signs of returning Jjfe as a result of tire war. The Brit ish press is malting suggestions along Jhe line of a restoration of silver to Its former place as one of the money metals of the world. A prominent New Tork banker sees possibilities of the rehabilitation of- silver and says: jit. never was in favor of bimetalism liefore the war, and it may be against precedent for a banker, educated sbroad, to suggest such a discussion, fiut this war has broken many prece dents, destroyed many old economic prejudices and introduced new pro gressive ideas even among the patri 0a us and stand-patters of the old world." He points out that China will teed huge sums of silver; also Meso potamia, Palestine and Arabia. Brit ish India still clings to the white met al. Then there are East Africa, Egypt, lsia Minor and Siberia to be supplied, following the law of supply and der 2xand. like any other commodity, sil ver may yet attain the old time ratio to gold of 1$ to 1 without the aid of Sr. Bryan or the United States con-

B r S? One of the most important new in dustries established in this country as result of the war is that of potash production. Approximately $50,000,- iftOO is now invested in the plants in karious states where the potash is exit-acted and put into form for com Sriercial use. Not only is the industry Itself of importance, but the agricul tural life of the nation Is freed from dependence upon foreign sources of Supply as the development of potash production in this country advances. 5t is reported that there is now in Worage enough potash produced in the jjnited States to meet the demands of fjie 191S agricultural-crop, and that In (Eighteen months our production will too developed to a point where we will j)e forever free of Gcrnan sources of (supply. Not only is future production Assured in sufficient quantities to meet he needs of farmers, but practically Inexhaustible sources are available, from wtiich to manufacture the prod uct. n, ft A biil has been offered fn the legis lature which would make it impera tive that every able bodied man in Kansas. between the ages of 18 and 45 jbiust be engaged In some useful occu pation. If it should become a law it Mould work a hardship on a lot of politicians In this statev i While the prices of many articles which enter into our daily livigg are goming down, including butter, eggs Jknd grain, there appears to be no fhanoo for a' fall in meat costs. This it due largely to the artificially main lined price for hogs. Why should ijogs be kept at the war price of 17 Sents? It is urged that the farmer. Jiru the stimulus of high prices, was Induced trj relieve the shortage of food in the world. It is hinted that the oiJe'fatloir of the law of supply and demand would Imply bad faith In fail ins to maintain, a high level. It ap parently la overlooked that one reason for the huge surplus of food products was the willingness with which the people of the United States, responded to appeals to save food and observe meatless days. The farmer had the incentive of high prices to stimulate his patriotism. The people at large paid high prices and made their sac rifices with no such reward in l sus pect. Are they to be asked now -to continue their sacrifice in the hope of averting a loss that may fall upon a particular class? WAR DEBTS OP THE WORLD. After the victory loan, to be issued in April, the yearly bond interest obli gations of the United States will be $1,100,000,000, according to calcula tions which have fcjen made by the Mechanics Metals National bank of New York and which are to be pre sented In a book entitled, "The World's War Debt," which, will be Issued In a few days. The bend interest to be paid by the United States will be fifty times greater than the nation's inter est obligation of two years ago, and will exceed by $100,000,000 the com bined interest payments of all the European powers in 1913, the year be fore the war. Added to the interest on war bonds, the government's normal running ex penses will require direct and indirect tax payments from the American peo ple of more than two billion dollars in the next fiscal year, but large as this amount is, the bank shows that it is below what tu.y of; the large European nations will require in taxes. Payments will be required of the peo ple of Great Britain next year amount ing to $3,400,000,000, while entirely apart from their -Indemnity payments at least an equal amount will be re quired of the German people.- The people of France must contribute taxes of more than three bullion dol lars for that nation's support. "If we make no allowance for in demnities. -to be. received," the bank states, "France apparently will re quire upward of 40 per cent of her people's peace time income, as that income was formerly figured, to meet the interest obligations and upkeep ex penses of the nation in 1920. Russia apparently will require more than 45 per cent of her people's income, as that income was figured prior to the war. Before meeting any Indemnify obligations, Austria-ITungary will re quire 48 per cent and Germany 31 per cent. "A way" to appreciate the signifi cance of the various figures," observes the bank, "is to translate them from money into the time and effort nec essary to earn that money. Thus, rriwriter of that lett8r and he-was the 5 per cent of, the American individual's income is to be turned over for his government's expenses in 1520, ft is clear that an equivalent peroentage of his" employed time must be devoted to producing earnings to meet the neces sary taxes. So the income earned by the productive effort of the average American in 15 out of the year's 300 working days will be necessary to sup port his government. By the same measurement, the income of 84 days of the Fnglishman's working, d-.yf: will be necessary for government upkeep, while 90 of the German worker's days will thus be requ'red. Because he could not deprive himself in the pe riod of the war to meet the full ex pense that was incurred, the French man, aaccording to the figures given, must turn over his 'earnings for two days every week to meet his govern ment's obligations. The Austrian and the Russian must do even more, un less circumstances be Improved. The bank maintains that circum stances -.irhich contribute to increasing the people's income, thus lessening the burden -ot taxes, may confidently be looked for. "A significant thing about all proposals that look to over coming the future burdens of war debts," It observes, "is that they are essentially economic rather than financial." From one end of the country to the other there has been evidence of ear nest desire on the part of employers of labor to maintain as far as prac ticable the wage and working condi tions attained during the war. There has been little hope among persons who study conditions that war-time prices or war-time wages cart be long sustained in time of peace. Few ex pect that abnormal wages and prices will prevail In normal 'times. But re duction of wages or increase in hours of labor is to be avoided wherever possible. Some lines of industry have been waiting to see what the govern ment policies will be in regard to re moval of war restrictions upon busi ness. The period of waiting and the uncertainty as to the future have de layed commencement of enterprises that would have called for employ ment of considerable numbers of workers. The readjustment period, therefore, has been a disappointment to both employer and employe. No man with a dollar of idle capital wants his money to be Idle longer than nec essary. No man with an idle mill wants his property to remain sctive longer than necessary. s That the Thirty-fifth division should suffer sev n thousand casualties in the course of the Argonne action, which in all lasted more than a fortnight, may well be believed, says Henry Ford's paper. Ace ding to the fig ures produced the division, embracing as it did tho strength o" two British or French divisions, and comprising 27,500 combat troops, it adds, lost 25 per cent casualties in the course of the hardest fighting experienced by any troops during the war. EVENING STORY The Pluggen BY VINCENT G. PERRY. Malcolm McDougali was officially known as the city editor ot the Ne-vs," but any title from office boy to managing editor could have been applied to him not that the "News" was a small one-horse paper, but Mal colm was a fifty-horse power plugger in the true sense of the word. Work! Why, 8 o'clock in- the? morning to mid night were easy hours for him! Noth ing was done right unless he had a hand in it. No matter how well a story was written Malcolm could al ways find a jilace that needed atten tion. No wonder reporters didn't stay long on the "News." Altho Malcolm was a nice fellow personally, he abso lutely wouldn't allow another man to bring forth his individuality or origin ality. Of course, with a man like Malcolm at the head of affairs the "News'" got along very well with a full staff of cubs ani one senior man. Larry Montrose :iti that senior- -a senior on. a junioi 3 salary, it must be con fessed. Just why he put up with Mal colm and refused the offers of other papers was hard to explain, but Larry smiled at the world good naturedly and wrote columns for Malcolm to re touch every day, even tho sometimes the retouched stories were not as good as the original ones. There was one department that Mal colm had not broken intothe wom an's page. It had long been the prophecy at the "News" that that would be the next domain he would besiege, but no one had really be lieved such a thing possible. Sure enough, when Miss Lorene, the editor of the page, was taken ill Malcolm threw aside the editorial he was writ ing for the editor and commenced to whip her page into shape. When Lar ry came upon hira he Was in the midst of a pile of "Lonely Wrves and Long ing Sweethearts' letters. "Ye fishes, man," Larry exclaimed, "what next will you be doing? Why can't Miss Lewis do that?" "Why, Miss Lewis has not had quite a year's experience." came contemptu ously from Malcolm. "This page is too popular a feature of the paper to have spoiled by a bungler. You'll have to write your own heads and shoot that copy right down to the composing room. I should go over it, but perhaps it will do." Larry smiled. It was the first time he had been permitted to have his original story Met up. As he watched Malcolm writing replies to silly letters he smiled again. This time his smile lasted. Just an hour before the paper was to go to press, two days' later, Mal colm remembered the woman's page. There was a whole stack of letters waiting to be replied to and make ready for publication. Again he had to o. k. sheets of Larry's copy without evei reading It. With his usual door-die attitude he tackled the letters. About the third one from the top in terested him, and he read it again, only to read and reread it. Every time ho read it, stronger came the conviction that he knew the writer. As the feeling and pathos in her appeal got under his skin, he blushed to the roots of his hair His wife was the neglectfjl husband she was writing about. It was just as she said, he had neglected her almost from the time of their marriage, shamefully. Night after night he had gpne back to work leaving her to the companionship of her young sister, Betty. How was he to know that she would be lonely just with Betty! Why, of course he should have known. But the last paragraph of the letter was the startling one. "There is an old friend, a gentle man, who, realizing how neglected I am by the man I accepted in prefer ence to him, has tried persistently to make my life happier by his com panionship and presents, but I have refused them all thru my sense of loy alty to my husband. But as the months go by and he still neglects me. I feel I can no longer endure it, and must turn to this other friend for the com panionship mv husband denies me. Dear Luzette, what do you advise?" For a long time after Malcolm had made sure of the contents of the let ter, he sat back in his chair and thought it over. There lay the ex planation to a lot of mysteries he had been trying to solve in a half-hearted sort of way for a long time. So that was the writing Marian had been do ing in secret letters to Wendell Hughes, and a letter to "Luzette," the name under which Miss Lorene con ducted her, column. Wendell Hughes naa wormed his way into her affec tions after all, he told himself angrily. What was there to do about it? Be fore he had been working out the problem for five minutes he had de cided on half a dozen courses of action most of them violent ones. Then conscience got in its work. He was to blame for it all, he admitted, final ly. It was all his fault for neglecting Marian, the sweetest little wife in the world, as he had done. Of course he had been doing all his hard work for her her happiness had never been out of his mind for an instant, but he had mistaken what would be happi ness to her. His companionship and devoted love meant more to her than all the wealth and prosperity in the world, ho could see that from the let ter, and somehow the thought thrilled him. "Take charge, I'm going home. Malcolm called out to Larrv as he jumped up from his desk. "There is not much to do, but it's time you were taking some of the responsibility off my shoulders anyway. I've plugged here too long," He stopped at the door long enough to look back and see Larry, with coat off and sleeves roijed up, digging into work with more vim than he had ever seen him exert before. That was the first act of a little drama that reached its happy climax two months later. The winding up scene was in the now delightful home of Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm McDougali. Malootitn had Just started to confess about the great change the Marian could not help seeing. They were sitting in the twilight before the very brightest kind of grate fire, and Mal colm's arm had found a resting place around Marian's slender waist. His other hand was snugly holding her lit tle warm fingers, and as he talked he squeezed them very gently now and then. "It vas all for you, dear," he whis pered just so she could hear. "All the hard work .was for you, and for the happiness 1 thought it would 'bring you. I thought you would understand, dear, but now I am glad you didn't." "But I did understand, deai boy," she answered, in just as low a tone, "and I kiivW it was all for me that was why I was contei t In my loneli ness. I knew some day that we would earn the glorious times we are enjoy ing now. It was not so lonely, tho. for I had my big surprise to think of. Look!" She took a magazine from the rack by their side and opened it near the front. "Look,'" she said again, as she hel.i it to bis eyes. There before him was her surprise. INTERNATIONAL -SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON BY. WILLI Ail T. ELLIS. "For Feb. 9 is "Jethro's Counsel." Exodus 18:1-27. Famous Leader's Unknown Adviser. Colonel House is a modern Jethro; or Father-in-law Jethro is an ancient Colonel House, as you please. Both are known only as wise counsellors of great leaders fronting an emergency. Jethro has his place among the im mortals because he helped shape his tory's first democracy. He was only a shepherd from the desert wastes of the Sinai Peninsula. But he was wise In the fundamentals of life: and he was courageous in speaking frankly to the friend, who was also his soj-in-law. That is how he came to make his im pression upon the plastic nation wh'i:h pioneered tho democratic form of gov ernment. He helped transform a va grant horde of newly freed slaves Into that great Theocracy which has been the source of all democracies Gif.ce. Friend Jethro comes opportunely on tho scene today, for all the civilization is engrossed in the huge task of reor ganization. We have defeated Pha raoh, crossed our Red sea and are now busy, with quite Israelitish mutterings and complainings and criticisnf, in finding ourselves for the new life of world society which lies ahead of us. There is considerable analogy between the condition of the Jews just out or Egypt and that of the world today. freed from autocracy and its ancient perils, and keen for the establishment of a fairer, freer form of human or ganization. What is done now needs to be well done, for what is plastic to day will be solidified tomorrow. This is the hour for shaping destiny. Democracy In the Making. That was a great period for la then undreamed of world when tha Hebrew refugees from Egypt were being con solidated into a nation They were safely across the Red sear Pharaoh and his hosts had been engulfed. Vic tory had been achieved over new found local enemies. Moses had come to be accepted and criticised as leader, law-giver and priest. Things were taking shape for the exiles. One day there came upon the scene the wife and two sons and father-in-law of Moses. That was a glad re union for the lonely man who had sacrificed home ties for the sake of his people. We seldom give thought to tho price that men pay for public service; their long absences from dear ones, th.'r deprivation of home joys, their overtaxing engrossment in the cause to which they have dedicated themselves. At the spectacle of his joy, let us pause for a moment to be sorry for Moses tho leader, that he missed tho quiet -delights of family life, which ho had known when a meditative shepherd amid the hills of Sinai. Wise old Jethro, a ripe sheikh, with the maturity of understanding which books cannot give, at once per ceived, as ho watched the weary throngs waiting to take counsel with Moses, that his son-in-law had not organized his task well. He was at tempting to do too much alone, to the hurt of both himself and the peo ple. This desert philosopher knew that it Is better to set ten men at work than to do ten men's work. The new nation was beginning wrong; the hour was one for co-operation in the common tasks by distributing them widely among all tho efficient. Jethro was for tho democratic .method: Moses, all unconsciously, was setting out in the autocratic way. The Strong Man's Weakness." Every mftj who has confidence In himself is likely to fall into the Moses blunder. We see It all about us. Re cently I was in the office of the head of an important department of a na tional business organization. His po sition and Authority are such that I expected him to be secluded in high stato in an inner office. Insteadeven the office boys, and every cltsual caller, could distract him. and two stenographers and an assistant sat writing beside his overcrowded desk while ho answered telephone calls about questions large and small. Tho man is doing work that belongs to his clerks. He is not big enough to let go. Nobody can be greatly efficient whose mind and time and desk are so cluttered up as his. As I came home on the train that day, the incident was recalled by the words of a friend, now himself a successful business man, who said. "When I was- first given an executive position my em ployer said to me, 'If you allow your self to get too busy to have time for thinking things over, you are not the man for this place.' That same Jethro-type 'of message had come to me two days before, from a famous publicist, who de clared, concerning a national religious organization with which he was con nected, "Frankly, I don't knew what is going to happen. We are headed for the rocks. Blank" naming the A short story by Marian Lethbridge his wife! In one of the leading maga zines, too! "But your letter to Luzette, dear heart?" he asked in wonder when he could gain his breath. ''You aid you were lonely and didn't have anything to do." "It's our turn to confess," Larry and Betty advanced from out. of the shadows. "I wrote that letter." Betty confessed meekly. "And I told her to and helped her," came glibly from Larry. "But -why?" Malcolm looked from on to another. "Wo wanted you to give Larry a chance at the office a chance to do some of the work that would show them he could be of more value down there and get a raise in salary, and he wanted Marian to have happiness, too, because iho wasn't really happy. It has got everything we wanted." "And w-e wanted to get rrfarried," joined in Larry with bated breath. "What "does it all mean?" Poor Mariau could not make head nor tail of it. r I it means tnai x nave oeen a uiina lUlUt, IKLtftlUUmi ,-'CU, UUI X 1111 US happiest man in the world, anyway."' "Don't be too sure of that." Larry's voice came from out of the shadow and was followed closely by a smoth ered little cry from Betty that no one mistook for a cry of fright. There was not a word of protest from any one all lips were very much engaged otherwise. (Copyright. 19W. by the McClurc News paper Syndicate.) Call Rice to Washington. Leavenworth, Kan.. Feb. 6. CoL Sedgwick Rice, commandant of the disciplinary barracks at Fort Leaven worth, has been called to Washington for a conference. Colonel Rice said the order had no bearing on the strike of prisoners at the barracks a week ago, but was merely a conference of the heads of penal institutions of the war department. executive head of the organization "simply' cannot or will not distribute responsibility He tries to do every thing himself, and, 'nevitably, things do not- KJt done, big tmng. essential things, the prime work for which we stand responsible. He is a good man and a great man, but he is headed toward a colossal failure unless ho learns to share his tasks with otHers, trusting them as fully as they trust him." So we see Moses has plenty of mod ern company in his big blunder of failing to consult and co-operate with others, and of trying to do everything himself. There is many a pastor and Sunday school superintendent N who comes within the scope of Jethro's in dictment. Real success. It has been said, confaists in making one's self un necessary. Moses, tho the center of alj interest and expectancy, was on the highroad to failure.' Tiro Use of Critics. If writers aid speakers and public men were required to be wholly can did, they would confess that they ow more than they can tell, to the frank, interested, hslpful criticisms of their families and frunds. Pily the man who has no critics or counsellors, es pecially in his own home circle. Most men ripve their Tvives to thank fcr-the corrective ani stimulating candor of spoken opinions.. The world little knows what it owes to those unknown Jethros, with their restraining and in spiring influence. "I had a friend," was one man's ex planation of his success. The ob scure helpers of the eminent, faith ful .and feariess in criticism and en couragemeat, able to see both sides, loving their friends too sincerely to become flatterers, and opened-cyed to their highest possioilities, have e er been among the assets of progress, whose plase heaven alone can reval. Moses miht have got huffy over his father-in-law s outspoken advice. He might have reminded him that, after all, he was only a desert shep herd, whereas Moses .as a palace-' trained statesman. That is how a petty spirit -would have replied to the counsel that he organize his work better. Moses, however, was big. He knew the value of tho fresh view. Jethro had clear vision, used to .see ing straight and far, and able to dis tinguish bet" en a mirage and a land scape. The leader -of Israel was im patient with petty criticism, but grate ful for helpful suggestion. "My friends tell me what I may be: my enemies tell me what I ought to be." Big Talents for Little Tasks. Somebody has said that the true genius of success is the ability not to w-aste five dollar talent -on a two cent job. Moses was giving states man qualities to villagex magistrate's tasks. It was as if the Supreme Court wero to try police cases. A famous king is pilloried in history because he was busy about watch-making j when he should have been ruling his j realm. True, everybody needs a measure of drudgery, especially in his appren tice time. "It is good for a man to bear the yoke in his youth," said Solomon. We may well be sorry for the person who has never learned the discipline of exacting labor. Moses had been thru that mill. For forty years he had toiled as a shepherd: burned by the sun at midday, and chilled by the mountain winds as he watche his flocks by night. He had known hunger and thirst and danger. Petty routine Jiad filled his days. Now,' in" place of highest authority, he was ready: to endure the grind of laborious activity again. He was saved from that blunder by the wise words of Jethro, who bade him reserve his talents for their high est use. As good a test as any of the successful man is whether he is em ploying his best abilities in the largest way possible. Quality of work is really what the world asks of us. To be high-grade in achievement is nobler than to be either high-priced or hierh-placed. Life when lived to the full must be expressed in terms of its largest values. This lesson from the long ago In the newly-interesting land of Sinai is real ly a message upon what constitutes success. It is a summofis to the ever greater and growing and daring task. It matters little what one is. unless he is all that he has the capacity to be come. Moses took an advance step when he heeded the sagacious counsel of Jethro. The Dcst for the Highest, Every city dweller tows preachers who are busy and noisy as flivvers; who seem always within sight and sound; who have ail the bustle and go of the commercial traveler; whose am bition is to "get there;" who adopt every -latest notion, card Indexes and follow-up methods and dictating ma chines and telephones and window signs and publicity departments; and who.'nev-ertheless, are not worth hear ing four Sundays in succession. They have no time for great books, or for quiet hours of devotion, alone and1 open-souled to God. -Meditation is an unknown or a lost art to them. They are "too busy" to succeed in their first office. For the world is in no such sore straits for lack of efficient execu tives and energetic managers and salesmen, as it is for prophets, who will interpret the Godward side of men and the manward side of God. Incisively, Jethro penetrated to the core of Moses's cumbered situation when he counselled. "Be thou for the people to Godward." Instead of set tling petty i l.agreements and answer ing trivial questions, take lip your real work, the high, and holy office of priest and propls-t. Then, as now, the people needed most leaders who were specialists on the Godward side. Power-plants are more important than mere machinery.- God's chosen should be strong at the source of things. Whatever keeps us from Intimacy with the Divine, and from the exercise of our most sacred possibilities, is wrong for us; however good it may be in itself. Weighing my words, I do not hesi tate to declare, as I look around upon the new era calling for organization and team work and public spirit, that the one need of our time, surpassing all others, is the need for men who shall be, in Jethro's quaint phrase, "for the people to Godward." The call that sounds above every other call Is for spl itual Interpreters and Interces sors; for men and women who will help our questing generation to find God; and who can tenderly reveal the will of God to all tho heart-hungry of earth.

The memorial ceremonies got away J to a late start At 2:40 the senate members had not arrived In represen tative hall and neither GovernoV AI- len nor General Wood had appeared. Every foot of available space In the biz hall was taken a half hour before h arutskinar started. Practically all state departments closet) for the after noon. While ths crowd waited for tho speakers, the Ninth battalion band, Kansas State Guards of Topeka, fur nished music. Charles S. Huffman, lieutenant gov ernor, presided at the meeting. The senate arrived at 2:45 and cere monies started immediately. Said "Come On," Says Wood. General Leonard A. Wood was first introduced. lis began Speaking at 2:55 o'clock. "It is rather difficult for us who knew Colonel Roosevelt to attempt a description," said General Wood. "He was a man of so many sides, so many wonderful parts that a description is almost beyond human ability. 'Come on", he always told our peo ple. Ho never said, 'Go.' He always said, 'Come on," There has been no man since Lincoln who was such an inspiration to American youth. His whole life was one of service. If he had had a motto It would have been "I serve." General Wood told his audience of tho youth of tho lato national character. His official life his fight for health and physical strength and his love of the great western country. "He always turned to the west," said General Wood, "and particularly to the northwest for hope and inspira tion. When I saw him so often when President McKinley was ptesi dent tho president never saw me but that he asked. 'Have you and T. R. declared war on Spain yet?' The activities of Colonel Roosevelt during the days pAceding the Spanish-American war were detailed by General Wood1 detailed from personal experiences with Colonel Roosevelt. "His life so much reverse of the view peop" had of him that I want to tell you something of him. One day he was hit by a shrapnel. He looked at his wounded hand and said: 'Great guns, there isn't going to be a scar.' He never thoughtlessly risked his men. Kis men were devoted! They trusted him implicitly. He never asked his men to do something he would not do himself. Ho was always thoughtful, but ever fearless. "Following his elections governor of New Tork. I saw him one day. Ho said, 'Well, I followed your-kdvice and took tho veil.' Then he later became vice president and following the death of President McKinley became presi dent." Concerning Colonel Roosevelt's cau tion General Wood declared:, "He showed the rarest judgment and al ways listened to counsel. Then he used his judgment. Colonel Roose velt was a believer in arbitration. But he also i believed in preparedness. "Tho home life of Colonel Roose velt was ideal." declared the speaker. "But tho watchword of the homo was service. No son could remain under tho roof an hour who would not servo his country. Allen Gives Experiences. Governor Allen gave a most Inter esting talk on personal experiences and incidents in connectUm with his many visits with Colonel Roosevelt. He brought out the fact that Roosevelt was a man who surrounded himself with the able menmen of national reputation and respect. "Ho listened to them." the governor said. "Ho counseled with them. He always was willing to receive advice from them. Ho was open to convic tion, no matter what ideas ho held." The governor gave some insido ac counts of the efforts Colonel Roose velt made to bring about harmony at the Chicago convention. Governor Alien s tribute was not in the form of an oration. It was a sin cere talk In memory of a man with whom he was intimate. Dr. Edmund J. Kulp pronounced the invocation. PAY FOR JHE GUARDS House Resolution Asking fop Money To Rcimbunra Contributors.

It is the first case of that kind seen on the Washburn court this year. Kmporia led, 20 to 16, at the end of the first naif. Soon the score was tied and when, time was called, the tally read 25 to 24, favor ing Washburn. Kmporia, however, threw a foul goal and tied the score, after the whistle blew. Kach side scored one point in the first extra period of play. Jn the sec- and period each team made two field and one foul goal. Then, with players on both teams almost exhausted, the Blue and White pocketed a free throw and then two goals from field in short order, while Emporia was unable to score.

Jack Dempsey, challenger of Jess Willard, offers some reasons for the firm facts he holds that he cam trounce Jess. Speak ing today on his arrival from Utah, he pointed out: First, that he is practically fifteen years younger than the huge cham pion. Second, that he is in fine condition, whereas Wiltard has been loafing since he fought Frank Moran. Third, that he beat Fred Fulton, ac knowledged one of the cleverest big men in years, in eighteen seconds and that Fulton is nearly as big as Wil lard. Dempsey arrived in Long Branchy X. J., last night, having crossed the ,ew York fight fans, like he did Fred Fulton left them flat on their backs by going to Long Branch direct instead of tarrying here. He told Jack Keams the contract with Tex Rickard would go thru as promised by Kearns without the slightest hitch and an nounced he would like to bet some thing like an arm or leg that Willard will wake up some time in the after noon of July 4 with his championship flyin ou( the front door. t "i m m line condition. Always Keep j that way," Dempsey said. "I'm a lit- tie tired after the long trip from Utah i but that will wear off. The rest out there did me gopd, for I was working I pretty hard. vext Monday X start on a new burlesque tour, under contract signed by Jade Kearns before Kickard's of fer was made. Just as soon as that4 contract is fulfilled I will get busy and train, for WiiU-rd." The pair of jacks will open the pot this afternoon at the Claridge, when they meet Tex Rickard and sign the articles of agreement to finally clinch the bout. The meeting was arranged Thursday.

That boy, that real boy and splendid actor, Charles Ray. is cavorting im mensely at the Qrpheum in a little comedy, "String Beans," which is "mighty like," in construction, a pre vious release, 'His Home Town." In both pictures Charley runs wild in a small town newspaper office and when he gets all scrambled up in political and family feuds, there's plenfy of ac tion. The "Jean Morris" of this cel luloid nourishment has particularly pretty hair and is the usual gingham and organdie frocked youthful sup port. An hour or so of Charley's aing-Dustmgly good cavorting is like a tonic. Before I speak of the Iris I have a story to tell you fhat's on the level. A manager in a small town had this sign displayed in front of his little 2x4 theater: Auerbach M M M tall 11 7 Guettel fCLorrHisG"cal Retanuc and Sailor Should Talc: Advantage; y of These Savings Tomorrowaturday Attend Thi COMIN'G FRIDAY IBSEN'S "DOLL HOUSE" BRING THE CHILDREN. And now for th Iris, as a westerner, I'll aay. you'll say, this Dustin Far num boy is wild. Hist the plot A wild westerner on a bet marries the "first gal that hits town." "Her" pans out to be an eastern gal. sister of a youn? ranch owner. For some reason, which I was nerer able to find out. she stands by him when her brother is about to ma Ire a sieve out of him with some little bullyettea, insisting that he offered no insult; then he saves her from raiders and bad men 'n everything', kisses her. gets knicked in the face for it. is finally rescued from death by her and in the last scene addressed by her as "my hus band." 'cause the parson guy said the whilom ceremony was all on the square and she always had a sneaking feelins for her bold, bad bandit Now, ain't that a cunning little plot? But. anyway, doesn't it seem nice to see Miss Kingston and old man XHistln working together again. She has great gobs of personality and a proud devil ish way of carrying herself that J love. You will probably remark on leaving the theater. "Well, not so bad. eh?" And Oh. I nearly forcot to tell you. there isn't much use in being a natural blonde if you are an actress 'cause no body will believe you, and I guess that will be about all. X.

MANY BARGAINS BE ON HAND VOPEKA TRANSFER -STORAGE COMPANY iftead State Journal Wants. i' FR MORE j!AD GIRLS Twenty-Five Per Cent Increase Delinquency In Year. 3Iiss Corning Blames Divorce Evil and War Conditions SAYS UNIFORM LURED THEM Dawdy Says Boys Broke Records, However. They Were From 50 to 75 Cent Worse in 191S. All Per Divorces and broken, homes, the absence of the fathers in the army, mothers at work and the irresistible attractior of the khaki uniform are believed by Miss Eva Corning, proba tion officer for Shawnee county, to be responsible for a 25 per cent increase in delinquency among young sirls of Topeka during the last year. 'Neglected and delinquent girls in Topeka cared for by the juvenile court this year," said Miss Corning, "were increased about 25 per cent, probably due to unusual conditions caused by the war. Admiration for the soldier in his khaki uniform added somewhat to the delinquency of young girls, but the greatest cause for the neglected and delinquent child was the broken home. In the case., of girls. 78 per cent came from broken homes the greatest number from divorced or sep arated parents." 'Working mothers could not give proper care or thought to the children and they were left to drift. The need of a divorce remedy and provisions for mothers left alone with children, that their undivided time can be given to them, is necessary for the proper care of these girls. The troubles of young girls are handled here in a private, personal manner and they respond quickly to Correctional measures and personal counsel." t Keeps Them Out of Court. Miss Corning makes it a point not to bfing delinquent girls Into court except in extreme cases but adjusts conditions herself, thus sparing the unfortunates the notoriety that would result -in court cases. When she re ceives a report of a delinquent girl she goes immediately to the parents and invariably is able to make arrange ments for the care of the child in a satisfactory manner. "The secret of success almost al ways lies in calling the parents' atten tion to the delinquency," said Miss Corninpr.

Only about a third of the cases of delinquency handled by Miss Corning find their way into the court records. However, she keeps files of her pwn and keeps close tab on the actions of every girl that is once brought to her notice. "Topeka people have been kind In taking homeless girls into their homes," she said, "and sending them to school. Some of the girls have re ceived scholarships in colleges. The probation officers of the court would gladly welcome such opportunities for other young girls In their care." Boys Are Worse, Tbo. The1, increase in delinquency among boys in Topeka has been much greater, ranging from 50 to 75 per cent, according to K. f. Dawdy, pro bation and juvenile officer. This con dition is attributed to the war spirit, and the large numbers of soldiers that have been in town, which has aroused the "scrapping blood" of the young sters, as well as to the fact that many of the older male members of the family have been in the army, thus leaving the boys without the custom ary guidance and correction. Boys and girls whose cases come under the care of the probation officers range all the way from babies to children 16 years old. "Whatever falling off there may be in delinquency among boys when the soldiers come home and the country settles down again to normal condi tions. Miss Corning believes that there will be no decrease in the number of delinquent girls until some measure is taken regulating divorces. During 1918 approximately 25 per cent of the marriages contracted in Shawnee county ended in divorce, according to the records. HOTEL ROAM CASE ON Rcichley-Green Litigation to Trial Before Jury In District Court. 'We couldn't agree on coal." This was the contention of A. H. Reichley. former proprietor of the Roam hotel, who is the defendant In a suit brought against him by M. L. and Lee Green to collect $4,087.80. in which amount they claim to have been damaged by Reichley's alleged failure to comply with certain terms of a lease. Reichley charges that it was the Green brothers who failed to live up to the lease and asked $5,280 from them. The case is being tried before a jury today in the first division of the district court. The Greens claim that they leased the Roam hotel from Reichley, sold out all their interests in Noel. Mo., and moved to Topeka preparatory to tak ing possession of the hotel January 1, 1918. When they demanded posses sion, however, they claim Reichley re fused to turn the property over. Reichley claims that they refused to deposit $2,000 in the bank to secure payment of rent according to the con tract. He also contends that he ha t a quantity of coal on hand which the Greens were to buy, but that they con tended that there was only about eighteen tons, whereas Reichley con tended there was between sixty and sixty-five tons. In a reply to Reichley's cross peti tion, the Greens included a front page story taken from the Topeka State Journal of March 2, 1918, telling of tne arrest or Reicniey on the charge of running an immoral house. He was acquitted when the case went to trial. but the Greens claim that it was not until, then that he offered to turn the hotel over to them, and alleged that its rental value had been decreased owing to the arrest. On the witness stand this morning Reichley admitted that he was ar rested last fall again on the charge of being found in an alleged immoral house and that he forfeited his $10 cash bond instead of appearing in po lice court for trial. Dr. C. P. Lyon. a local dentist, was arrested at the same time and also forfeited his bond, according to police records. WIFE TOO HARD TO SUIT Wasn't Satisfied in Five Cities, So Husband Wants Divorce. When, life in five different cities failed to satisfy her, Alvin H. Lang worth of Topeka, filed suit in the office of the Shawnee county district court asking a divorce from Laura I. Lang- worth, now said to be living with rela tives in Omaha. The Langworths were married at Fort Madison, la., in 1912. Shortly afterward, the plaintiff says, they moved to Topeka, but Mrs. Langworth becoming dissatisfied here they moved to Chicago. Tiring of Chicago, he says, she went to live with relatives in Omaha and later obtained a posi tion in Galveston, from whence ehe wired her husband to join her. Lang worth says he went to Galveston but that in April, 1918. his wife returned to her parents in Omaha. He says he was offered a position in Albuquerque and wrote his wife asking her to join him, but she refused, so he came on to Topeka. Another requst for her to come and live with him meeting with refusal, Langworth consulted an at torney. H. J. CORWINE IS BACK Red Cross Worker Will Get Into City Campaign Immediately. Herbert J.

The Sutton resolution also provides that all amendments submitted must be printed in one newspaper in every county for a period of three months prior to the election at which they are to be voted upon. After introducing his resolution Sen ator Sutton said that he believed a provision that would permit the peo ple to vote on as many as six changes at one time would arttle for all time the contention over the necessity for caning a constitutional convention. He also said that wUh six changes possible at one time he felt that Gov ernor Allen would be able to make all the progressive changes he desires and would be able to do them more quick ly and more cheaply than could be done under his plan to call a consti tutional convention for the remaking of an entire constitution at one time.

After selecting the sort of decoration they intend to bestow, some sort of system will be worked out so that no man will be missed. Several registration plans are being consid ered.

Rodgers, while he expressed himself in favor of the badsre of recognition from the county. the county does not, under the present law, have authority to do anything of this kind.

Just before noon today the Kansas senate passed one of the most drastic j and far-reaching insurance measures i that has been passed in this state inl a, number of years. It was the bill introduced by Carroll and rewritten by Price, giving the insurance superin- tendent power to standardize all poll-; cies and to require insurance compan- ies to make the clauses in their con tracts conform with the regulations of the statutes. An effDrt was made by Paulen to insert a clause providing that no in surance superintendent could require a company to change the wording ot its contract more than once during his term of office and another effort to j modify the bill was made by Senator McClain who sought to have it amend- i ed so that the insurance superintend- j ent would be required to go into court j before taking action against a com pany. Neither change was given enough support to make it effective, and shortly after 12 o'clock the bill was ready to be voted upon. Senator Nighswonger made an effort to post pone the vote until the afternoon ses sion, stating that the measure was of great importance and that he consid ered it necessary to give it more dis cussion, but Price Insisted upon im mediate passage, and the Nighswonger motion for it to go over was voted down. During the morning session the senate also passed ten bills under the regular heading of third reading. The Carroll bill came up under special orders. Just before adjournment Senator Coleman introduced a joint resolution providing for the printing of 1,500 copies of the Wyandotte constitutional convention and for the distribution of copies to all members of the legis I ture and state house officials.

It wards off serious tickr.cs and saves doctor's bills. Many a cold has been pre vented from running into grippe and pneumonia by its timely use. Many a racking headache has been quickly dispelled by it. And It is a laxative rather than a drastic cathartic or purgative that should be in every family medicine-chest, for a laxative can be used at all ages. Thousands of good American families have for more than a quarter century used a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin known to druggists as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It is a laxative-tonic that acts on the bowels and stomach. Infants take it with perfect safety, and it is equally effective for grownups.

Imri Zumwalt, '03, president of the alumni association, then took the chair as toastmaster of the evening and standing up on a chair "that his bald head." as he stated, "might not in reflection blind the onlookers," opened the formal program of the evening. Capt. Luther Tillotson, a former Washburn student and instructor and commander f Company A. 110th En gineers in France, and a hero of the lighting 4n the. Argonne forest related some of his experiences on the' front. He spoke of meeting Lieutenant Ben ton following his heroic service in the field, and altho Benton was wounded at the time. Captain Tillotson said he did not admit it, but insisted upon taking"' care of his men.- Lieut. Koward Searle; just returned from overseas, gave an account of his experiences abroad. Searle took oc casion to defend the Y. M. C. A. and he discredited rumors that this or ganization had not done its duty in Fru nee. Searle' s remarks evidently were popular as the students applaud ed him vigorously. Lieutenant Searie was followed by Knsign Herbert Guild, whe has been a naval-aviator and who has don con siderable thrilling flying in this coun try. Guild punctuated his talktwith humorous incidents of the service. His attempt to decipher the flying slang so his hearers would under stand him was real comedy. Muliaffey a Wit. The last speech on the program was given by Yeoman John Mahaffey. Mahaffey was a scream. His wit kept the house in an uproar. He has been overseas seven times on convoys and in all those trips never has he lost a bean, he said. He followed up Lieu tenant Searle in defense of the Y. M. C. A. He did not mince words in his condemnation of the propaganda that he says has been spread against the "Y." He blamed another church creed for a part of the talk that has been spreading to the detriment of the Y. M. C. A. Thtf music was furnished by Craw ford's Jazz orchestra, including Asa Crawford at the piano, Frank Mnuk, violinist; Joseph Hicks, cornetist, and Floyd Betts, drummer.

Efforts of the progressives to gain control of both houses of congress-were met today by Senator Penrose and his supporters with definite plans for getting the up per hand after March 4. Their plans Include the election of Representative Gillette, Massachusetts, as speaker; Representative Long worth, Ohio, as chairman of the ways and means committee, and floor leader and Representative Fordney, Michi gan, cs chairman of ths. important ap propriations committee. Gillette would be Nert England's share -of the combination. New York would probably" get Representative Snell as chairman of the rules com mittee. The reward of Pennsylvania would be that staters position as the 'power behind the congress," and the chair manship of the senate finance commit tee in the person of Senator Penrose himself. Success of. these plans depends on a series of binding state caucuses which will force each state to vote as a unit The. circumstances in favor of the Penrose plan is the fact that Pennsyl vania comes wUhin a few votes of holding the balance of power in the speakership fight between Gillette and Representative Mann, Illinois. But. there aie several things that may interfere with this program. The most important is the entrance of Representative Fess, who can com mand a part, if not all, of the Ohio delegation in the speakership race.

Hot Water for Sick Headaches Tails why everyone should drink hot water with phosphate In It before breakfast. Headache of :ny kind, is caused by auto-intoxicatiu.i which means self poisoning. t Liver and bowel poisons cal'ed toxins, sucked into the blood, through the lymph ducts, excite the heart which pumps the blood so fast that it congests in the smaller arteries and veins of tne head producing vio lent, throbbing pain and distress, called headache. You become nervous, de spondent, sick, feverish and miserable, your meals sour and almost nauseate you. Then you resort to acetanilide, aspirin or the bromides which tempor arily relieve but do not rid the blood of these irritating toxins. A glass of hot water with a teaspoon ful of limestone phosphate in it, drank before breakfast for awhile, will not only wash these poisons from your ay 3 ten i and cure ycu of headache but will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimentary canaL Ask your pharmacist for a quarter pound of limestone phosphate. It is inexpensive, harmless as sugar. If you aren't feeling your best, if tougue is coated or you wake up with bad taste, foul breath or have colds, indigestion, biliousness, constipation or sour, acid stomach, begin the phos phated hot water rure to rid your sys tem of toxins and poisons.

Mulvane and Lieutenant Governor and Mrs. Huffman. There were a number of guests pres ent yesterday at the social meeting of the Woman's club which was held at the Elks" club rooms. Mrs. Henry J. Allen was a special guest and was the luncheon guest of Mrs. W. A. McCar- ter, president of the club. The wives of legislators were also invited and many of them were present. The open meeting in the afternoon was given by the literature and musi?. departments. The musical program included two numbers by a guest of the club. Miss Kamah Brownlee, daughter of Mrs. W. It. Brownlee, a new member of. the club. Miss Brown lee sang, "The Gypsy Trail" by Tod Galloway and "Habanera" from Car men. Miss Myrtle Radcliffe was her accompanist. Mrs. George W. Park hurst, accompanied by her daughter. Mrs. Robert Garver, sang "An Open Secret," by Woodman. Mr. Glenwood Jones sang two songs, "Until," by Sanderson and "The Joy of Spring" by Woodman. Mrs. W. W. Wikidal. chairman of the department, accom panied by Mrs. Arza Clark, sang "The Sunshine of Your Smile" and "When Love Is New." Owing to the absence of Mrs. May Belleville Brown of e'alina, who is ill at her home, Mrs. W. A. McCarter furnished the address for the literary part of the program. Mrs. McCarter gave the third of nor series of talks cii the "Bible as Literature." which she has been giving at the meetings of the literary department. Her subject yesterday was "The Poetry of the Prophecies." Mrs. McCarter says that the Prophecies come in poetic form becouse propnecy is nign ana exaitea and in order to be high and exalted it must come in poetry. She spoke of the causes for poetry writing and said that our soldier boys have been writ ing pcetry when they had no idea that it was in them because they nave been living poetry. In her opinion perhaps the greatest poet wmcn tnese times had produced was Robert Service, and she gave a quotation from his poetry which proved his art. Mrs. McCarter said there were three purposes of the prophet: to show ac tivity, confidence and faith and to have a forward view of the future. She declared that the view into the future was the highest form of proph ecy. She quoted much from the Bible and many of our well known poets .to illustrate her points. Mrs. Allen, wife of the governor, was introduced and made a short talk. At the beginning of the afternoon meeting Mrs. Britton was asked to read a letter which had come to the club members from the French child whom they had adopted. Mrs. Guil ford Dudley gave a report of the Baynes lectures, and Mrs. S. S. Beggs reported the success of the Jewish Armenian drive. Rr. Dorothy T. Nicoll, chairman of the civics department, re ported on the investigation which had been made concerning the county poor farm. The authorities are talking of using the old site, which is some -distance from Topeka, and Doctor Nicoll asked the club to voice a protest ask ing that property closer to town be Lot No. 2 50 of the best Suits and Overcoats in our stock of best made clothing.

Judging from the countless preparations and treatments wbicb are continually ir,; advertised f-r the purpose of making thin people fleshy, developing arms, neck and bast, and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive thinness. Thinness and weakness are usually doe to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained In modern foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this deficiency so well as the organic phosphate known among drug gists as bitro-pbosphate. which is Inex pensive and Is sold by most all druggists under a guarantee of satisfaction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the neces sary phosphoric food elements, bltro-phos-phate quickly produces a welcome trans formation m the appearance; the Increase In weight frequently being astonishing. This increase io wehrbt also tarries with it a general improvement in the health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of en ergy, which nearly always accompany ex cessive thinness, soon disappear, dull eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health.

THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOYVN Who has a husband in politics and one day when she was out in a small town east of Topeka, while her hus band was electioneering, some of the village matrons were entertaining her. One of them came up and after an introduction said, trying to be very nice. "So this is Mrs. I wouldn't have known you; you used to be so pretty and sweet, but you have lost it all." And another, by way of apology, said. "Children and fools speak the truth." But the woman from Topeka added, also in a very charming tone, 'It is better to have had and lost than never to have had at all." And there were those present who didn't know that anything but the most compli mentary remarks had been passing between the hostesses and the guest, in fact the hostesses didn't.

Kansas City, Kan., Feb. 7. The for mal opening of the newly remodeled W. C. T. U. home here has been set for February 1? and a program is be ing arranged fon the occasion. The date was set by the board of directors of the Kansas W. C. T. U. which re cently met here to inspect the home. The residence formerly was the old Carrie Nation VHome for Drunkards' Wives," which in recent years had been permitted to deteriorate, many years having elapsed since it had been utilized for the purposes intended by the late Mrs. 'Nation of "saloon smashing fame." The residence was recently turned over to the W. C. T. U. which thoroly repaired it.

A protest against the proposed in crease of freight rates on perishable goods, amounting to between 50 and 60 per cent, as announced by the United States railroad administration, was sent Thursday to the director gen eral by E. H. Hogueland, counsel for the Kansas Egg Shippers, association and the Topeka; Traffic association. From a study of the rates which are compiled in the form of a text Hogue land has prepared tables showing a comparison of present and proposed rates. The increases of from 50 to 60 per cent is general the country over. Should the proposed rates be placed in effect, according to Hogueland, oranges selling from 60 cents a dozen would jump to $1. Some of Hogueland's figures assert that shipments from California to To- peka show an increase of 350; the present rate Is $65; the proposed rate, $115. The present rate on peaches from Utah is $45. The new rate would be $70. Cabbage from Wisconsin is now $47.50; the proposed rate would call for $50. f lookIngTor organist C. of C. Would Put Topcka's Big Pipe Instrument To Use. Declaring that Topeka has one of the finest pipe organs between the Missis sippi river and the Rocky mountains, j an organ that- cost about $15,000. the Chamber of Commerce now wants to know why there is no one to play it. WThen he asked Thursday that the organization get behind a movement to secure an efficient pipe organist. W. W. Webb, a director of the Chamber of Commerce, probably started the action which will no doubt result in ubtaining one. Commissioner W. L. Porter was asked why the organ was not used. It appears that Porter neglected his musical education whilt at the Kansas State Agricultural college. So did all j his employes. None of them can hit a note on the irstrument. i The main question is to find out j where the organist's salary is going to j come from. It is possible that a cam- j paign will be put on to raise the j money. For a League Campaign. New York.. Feb. 7.

"I have suffered something awtul from rheumatism for the last two years," he continued, "and it was so bad at times that I just felt like I couldn't stand It any longer.- For three weeks before I began taking Tanlac I was not able to do a lick of work. All the joints in my body would become terribly swollen, and it seemed to be worst in my feet and the lower part of my legs than anywhere else. The leaders in my legs would fcecore so badly drawn at times that I cold hardly walk. My stomach went back on me while I was in this coudition. and this made matters a. great deal worse for me. My food would sour in short while after ray meals, and gas would form in my stomach so bad that 1 would be miserable for hours after eating. I was badly constipated all the time, and was so nervous that I hardly ever got a good night's sleep. I lost a great deal in weight, and finally cot into a general weak, run down Condition. "I had been reading about the good results that people were getting from Tanlac, and many of them seemed to have had the same trouble that I had, so I thought I would give it a trial.

The recent recommendations to the governor., and state legislature by "VV, R, Smith, resigning state printer, are today branded by -V I. Pinet, secre tary of tha Kaosas- Teachers' associ ation and editor of the Kansas Teach er, as an insult to the teachers of the state. Pinet makes the charge In .a letter'to the State Journal. He claims that Smith s recommendations insin uate that the teachers are tools of the book trusts- and- says that the in sinuation is""only a crafty attempt ti pave the ay to continue thetext book commission in its present status, in which status the teachers have prac tically no representation." Pinet declares that the .teachers favor state publication of textbooks and says that they ask only repre sentation oivthe commission. He says Smith's assertion that the teachers have been given consideration in the selection of textbooks is untrue, and asserts that ytheir recommendations have been ignored. Pinet challenges Smith's alleged in sinuation that there is a connection between the teachers and the book trusts with an offer to deposit a, cer tified check for $500 in a bank, pro viding Smith will do the same, the money to be -used in an investigation of whether Or not the teachers 1 ave had any connection with eastern publishers. The teachers' secretary and editor offers to open all records and books of the association and the Kansas Teacher. The commission would also decide whether or not the records of. the state textbook commis sion would bear an investigation. Pinet's letter follows: To the Editor of The Topeka State Journal My attention has been called to news paper articles based upon a letter written by W. K. Smith, the retiring state printer, to txovernor Allen and members of the legislature, in-nHilch statement veiled in sinuations have been made against the Kansas State Teachers' association and its official publication-, the Kansas Teacher. As secretary of the association and editor of the Kansas Teacher, I desire to pre sent a brief reply to Mr. Smith's state ment. Mr. Smith's statement is an insult and an affront to the teachers of Kansas. His insinuation that the teachers are tools of the book trusts is only a crafty attempt to pave the way to contiuue the textbook commission in its present status, in -which annus me teachers nave practically no representation. I wish to say that the teachers of Kansas have not- desired to iu any way interfere with state publication on the contrary, they are quite willing to help in making state publication the largest possible suc cess. They only ask that they be given representation' on the'Wmmission in the way of two or uaore persons actively con nected with the administration of the pub lie schools. Under the present membership of the commission, there is not a single reirreseu tative of the public schools on the school book commission, with the single exception of the '-state superintendent. The com mission, as composed at present, consists of state printer, state superintendent,-, two college presidents, a farmer, tin editor of a farm weekly, and a club woman. The teachers will ask that this commission be reorganised so as to .place oh the com mission. .ne -city superintendent and one county superintendent, regardless of the personnel of the remaining five- members of the commission. Mr. Smith states that the commission lias been willing to consider the wishes of the teachers regarding the selection of books this. I regret to say, is untrue. About two years ago, the school book com mission asked the Kansas .State Teachers association to appoint an advisory commit tee. This committee was appointed..; A year ago it presented its unanimous recom mendations concerning the selection of a textbook in geography, and these recom mendations w-ere absolutely ignored by the school book commission. Mr. Smith states that the books adopted by tile commission are the 4est books the state has ever had. With this opinion the teachers of Kansas will take issue. For in stance, the present readers .off Kansas are. generally considered by the teachers to be the poorest readers ever in use in Kansas. It is not my desire at this time, however, to reply in full to Mr. Kniith'S charges. I wish only to challenge Mr. Smith's insinua tion that there has been any connection be tween the eastern text book publishers or any text book publishers whatsoever, and the Kansas Teacher or the. Kansas State TeiTchers' association. To This end, I wish to submit to Mr. Smith the following pro position The Kansas Teacher will placed on deposit In the Merchants National bank or any To peka bank designated by Mr, Smith, a -certified check for five hundred dollars, pro vided Mr. Smith will placein this bank a certified check for nn equal amount, the sum of these two cheeks to be used to pay the expenses of an investigating-committee which shall examine the books of The Kan. sas Teacher and the books of the Kansas State Teachers association, and also the books and records of the state school book commission, to determine whether or not there has been any connection between eastern publishers and either The Kansas Tells a Secret Manufacturer of Famous Medicine Tells Ingredients So Public Can Appreciate Pure, Reliable Medi cine. Many people fear to take medicine to check and abort coldn, cure coughs, catarrh, etc. This fear is groundless with all the products of The Black burn Products Co., nayton, Ohio.

Cascara, Grinde lia, Menthoe Ammonium- Chloride, and alcdhol sufficient to preserve and keep In solution. Every ingredient is In concentrated form and the medicine is so strong that only ten-drop doses are to be taken in the "raw" state. But the ideal way is to make into svrup by emptying a 2 oz. bottle of Menttao Laxene into a pint bottle and then fill the bottle with granulated sugar syrup, made by dissolving a pint of sugar in a half pint of boiling water.

My proposal is that Mr. Smith should se!ectone member of this investigating committee, I should select another, and the thTTTi should be selected either by the state superintendent of public instruction, who is not only chair man of the board of directors of the Kan sas State Teachers association, but is also a member of the state school book com mission, or else, if Mr. Smith should prefer, the third member of the committee should be selected by Governor Allen.

One night on a crowded Oakland car there sat a woman. Leaning partly against the back of the seat which she occupied sprawled a man reading .a newspaper. He held the paper at a low angle so that the lower half struck the woman's hat as the car bobbed over the rough track and swung around the curves. From time to time the lady would straighten up in, her seat and pull her headgear out from under the paper. Finally an observer rose from bis seat, reached over and tapped the offender on the arm, "Pardon me, he said, in the tone every one uses when they mean noth ing of the kind, "do you envy that lady her seat?" The unmannerly one stared at the man for a moment then in a loud voice said "not exactly, youug man. That's my wife." The wife joined in the roar of laughter which followed the young man to the rear platform. Mrs. Ed Gifford. Mrs. Marsh Wilbur and Mrs. H. B. Newell spent Thursday with Mrs. J. E.

Two Drops of "Gets-It" Will Do It Ever hand-carve your toe with a knife trying to get rid of a corn? Ever use scissors and snip "off part of the corn too close to the quick? "GeU-It" Puts Tour Feet In Cloier It Ends .Corns yuickiy. Ever pack up your toe with "con traptions" and plasters as though you were packing a glass vase for parcel post? Ever use greasy ointments that rub off on your stocking? Ever use sticky tape that gets jerked off when you pull your stocking off? Kind o' foolish, when 2 or 3 drops of "Gets-It" on any corn or callus gives it a quick, painless, peaceful, dead sure funeral! Why putter and suffer? "Gets-It" stops corn pains, it lets you work, smile and dance, even with corns. It's the common-sense way, the only simple, easy way peels corns off like a banana peel. Used by mil lions. It never fails. "Gets-It." the guaranteed, money back corn-remover, the only sure way, costs but a trifle at any drug store. Manufactured by E. Lawrence Co., Chicago. 111. Sold in Topeka and recommended as the world's best corn remedy by A. W. Lacey, Frank JJobart, A. C. Klingaman Co. Advertisement. The Easiest Way To End Dandruff There is one sure way tbat never fails to remove dandruff completely and that is to dissolve it. This destroys it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain ordinary liquid arvou apply it at night when retiring: use enough to mois ten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sigu and trace of it, no matter bow much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digglug of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fjuffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look And feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need. This simple remedy has never been known to fail. Adv. HAVE DARK HAIR AND LOOK YOUNG Don't, stay gray! Nobody can tell when you darken gray, faded hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur. Grandmother kept her hair beauti fully darkened, glossy, and attractive with a brew of Sag-e Tea and Sulphur.
