Ask Executives To Look Into "Motives and Influences." Legislative investigation of the in fluences behind measures urged by the big labor lobby is threatened in the state house. A resolution calling for a legislative probe may be offered j In a few days. House members have j for several days sniffed the air as a result of the Shideler bill which 1 throws a blanket of protection over J the I. W., the Nonpartisan league and similar organizations. That is one of the reasons for the demand for an investigation. Another bitter protest from legisla tive members is the fact that the ob jectionable bill was prepared in the offices of the state bureau of labor. The bill was offered as a measure bear ing the approval and endorsement of the state department. Now there is a decided curiosity on the part of numerous legislative members to learn something 01 the influence which in spired the measure and was -sufficiently strong to secure for it the approval of an official department. It is not the fact that the Shideler bill came into the legislature that is causing trouble. Shideler or any oth er member might introduce one or a dozen freak or drastic bills and little more than passing concern would be given. But when Shideler presented the measure at the direct request of the labor representatives who are ap pearing before the legislature, then trouble started. The bill, Shideler stated, was prepared by the labor lobby and was introduced at the re quest of the state bureau of labor. Sees Power Behind Bill. "If this bill merely came from Shideler," said one house member to day, "the legislative members might vote and think little more of the mat ter. But coming: from the official state department, the measure bears a sanction and approval that should arouse the suspicion of Kansans as well as legislators. This bill unques tionably protects the I. W. W., the Nonpartisan league and similar organ izations against any attack or criti cism bv a newspaper or public speak er. I have spoken to several members rather they nave spoken to me ana it is mv judgment that there is a real demand in the house for an investiga tion of the activities of the rabqr lobby as well as an investigation of the in fluences which seek to force such leg islation on this state." Not onlv is the prospect of an in vestigation growing, but the matter is to be presented to Governor Allen The state executive, it is asserted, will be asked to aid in determining the in fluence which sought to secure pas sage of the Shideler bill. The gov ernor may also be asked to inquire into the freedom with which the bureau of labor and its legislative representa tives sanction and advance legislation which seeks to protect the violent wing of labor against criticism. Allen's Paper Opposes N-P's. Governor Mien's paper, the Wich ita Beacon, has been one of the most oositive and forceful sources of oppo sition which the Nonpartisan league and similar organizations have en countered in an effort to organize in this state. For that reason the action of the governor in probing the mo tives and influences bemna tne sniae ler bill is a matter of much concern. Shideler's bill, known in legislative records as house bill No.662, provides a $500 fine and three months in jail for persons who criticise labor or farmers' organizations without ques tion as to the truth of such state ments. This is the bill: The Shideler Bill. An Act providing for the punishment for libel nr slander :oiuerning the industrial, finnnclnl or dovial reputation or standing of lnbor unions, workmen's associations or farmers organizations, defining such as offenses, and providing puulsbment therefor. Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Kansas: Section 1. That whenever any person mali ciously and without probable cause circu lates or causes to he circulated any rumor with intent to injuriously affect the indus trial, financial or social reputation or standing of labor union, workmen's associa tion, or farmers organization, or the in dustrial, financial or social standing of any Individual In this state, either verbally or in writing, or makes any. statement or -ir-ulates or assists in circulating any false rumor or report for the purpose of injuring the industrial, financial or social reputa tion or standing of any labor union, work men's association or farmers' organization, or of any individual in this state, or seeks, either by word or action, to cause discon tent or dissatisfaction within n labor union, workmen's association or fanners" organ ization, or connives or conspires with any person for the pnroHe of injuring the standing- or nusinfc discontent or dissat isfaction within any labor union, work men's association or farmers" organization, such person shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not! more i tl.nn firo 1,.1I..t-. v Hw 1mi.Mu.ii. mcnt in the county jail for not more than three mouths, or by both such fine and im prisonment.

Measure Vas Introduced Request of State Dept. DENUDE BRIDES OF PROPERTY Permit Loan Agencies To Get Clutches on Youngsters. House to, Mat on Constitutional Amendments Tomorrow. Kansas club women and welfare workers are today up in arms. One of their prize achievements of two years ago the enactment of the age of majority law has been wiped out by the present legislature. Discovery of this action was made today near ly a week after the bill had passed both houses and had been signed by Governor Allen. Senate Bill No. 90 by Senator Fer- rell has torn down the law of 1917 which placed the age of majority of both males and females at 21- years. Under the bill which has been passed the law of two years ago is virtually repealed and the age of majority for I both sexes, following marriage, is j placed at 18 years. Women in the i nv.- the Qti f tho KnnwiR Vionse and senate, which they declare have voted tr denude thR school cirl brides i of their property rights before they arrive at the age of mature judgment. Senator Ferrell s bill was introduced. approved by a committee, passed by both legislative bodies and was signed by the governor before the women's lobby discovered its presence. In fact the new enactment will this week be come a law as soon as it is published in the official state paper. All of the benefits derived from the hard fight of 1317 which resulted in passage of the law are set aside in. the repeal of the former enactment. Sec Evil Motives. Women in the lobbies today de clared that while the bill had proba bly been introduced in good faith, the motives behind the measure were evil and designing. They declared that many young married women would be i deprived of their property rights un- der the new law and that sinister mo- i tives of loan agencies prompted the passage of the new law. It is possi ble that an effort may do made to originate a, committee bill which will re-enact the law of 1917 and repeal the Ferrell act. Such action 'rvould re store the former law and hold the age of majority of both sexes at 21 years.: Under the law as just passed the: following provision is made; "That the period of minority extends in ma lea and females to the age of 21 years; provided, that every legally married person shall be considered of the age of majority in all matters ref lating to contracts, rights of property, liabilities, and the capacity to sue and be sued. This bill, the women charge, enables a girl bride to dispose of her property before she has reached an age of ma ture judgment. It likewise places on her shoulders the burden and re sponsibilities of debts assumed by ybung married couples. Probably no bill which will pass the present leg islative session can provoke such a protest as is expected from the Ferrell measure. Mrs. Monroo Wants Repeal. Mrs. Lilla Day Monroe, who has represented a number of women's or ganizations in the legislative lobby today visited Governor Allen and talk ed with members of the legislature concerning a plan to bring about the repeal of the new law. Such action tho, can come only thru the passage of the new bill. "The women feel that this new law puts a premium upon the marriage of fHilHrn whn rn ci t tn h in r Vi nnl Mrs. Monroe said.

In the next general war the United States will not escape with any such moderate loss as that which has been hers in this war. 1 rank t M ac l.cii nan Topeka, Kan.. ir lour jrara uieinuer ra puuucii.jr I committee, on appointment of Mr. I an" vice presiueni iur jvanas oi r T p.".. ...j,. oil"1"1" juium n.e .in... ui. ...v..- tion at Brunswick, Mo., and arrived, l-IIK DUILUI 113 nUAUO i

"You see, Mrs. Allen really Isn't Mr. Allen's wife at all that is, not Frank W.Al len's wife. But she is the wife of George Allen, a farmer living near King City, Mo., and therein lies the story. Mrs. May Allen and Frank Al len are in custody of the police today and it all came about thru the efforts of Mrs. Allen's real husband, so the police say. Frank was formerly a hired hand on George's farm and, the police were Informed, some time ago, ran away with his employer's wife and came to Topeka, registering at a local hotel as man and wife. They arrived here about two weeks ago, bringing with them Mrs. Allen's 7-year-old son, who promptly started in attending the pub lic school, it is claimed. But in the meantime George got busy. He trailed his run-away wife and former farm hand to Kansas City, thence to St. Joseph and finally to To peka. And as luck would have it, while walking down the street here. he chanced to see his own little boy on his way home from school, he says. Keeping out of the little fellow s sight, George said, he shadowed him to the hotel, where he said he found the couple' names on the register and notified the police. Mrs. Alien, who is under the care of Mrs. Delnopa McGrath, police ma tron, admitted thia moraine that she 1 bf a fine, fcs home including an incubator but that she just couldn't live with her husband any longer. He was too cruel to her, she said, and upder the circumstances her home had lost its attractions. She is now 23 years old and was married when she was fifteen, she said. Mrs. Allen may not love her hus band, but as for looks Oh, boyi She is rather tall, with just a .suggestion of sienderness; she has a complexion like those you read about; and she has golden brown hair and a pair of lovely blue eyes 'neverything. she appears to be getting nervous. All morning she had waited for someone, to come up and see her, and no one had appeared. As for her husband: "I haven't had a chance to talk to him yet," she observed. "And you're waiting "I'm waiting patiently for the chance." she replied with a tilt of her chin that boded ill for George. Her little son had been taken to the detention home last night and placed under the care of Mrs. W. D. Bundy. "Why did they have to get me 'last night?" asked Mrs. Allen. "Why didn't they wait -till morning? I would have come up here this morning if they had let me know. I'm not try ing to get away from anybody. The boy is over there now, but they're not going to keep him there long. And," referring to her husband, "I'm never going back. Never!" This morning George went to Kan sas City to get a state warrant out for I-rank. If the couple refuse to return it is probable that the husband will have to get a requisition .from Gov ernor Allen for their, return, the police say.

This was the step to start the fire works, but Senator Price raised a point of order and Lieutenant Gov ernor Huffman ruled that the Cole man motion would have to come up under the regular order of business under the heading of "consideration of motions and resolutions." Party liines Won't Hold. Despite the fact that efforts are being made to draw party lines In the fight for a chance to call a modi fied convention there does not seem to be the slightest chance that this can be done. Senator Getty has told the Allen men that he does not consider any stand he takes in the matter will affect his Republicanism, or be a gauge of it. one way or another and there are a great many other Republi cans who feel the same way about it. Democrats will absolutely avoid any thing that looks like an effort to bind members, it is asserted. "Be it said to the credit of the members of this senate,- none of the members has ever violated his oath by following party lines in considering this ques tion," Senator Malone said. Senator Sutton, another Democrat, said? "T rieenlv r.trr.1 In ts. t Vi o r-iin stltution question brought up here. I chance any kind of a constitutional convention resolution can be adopted." Allen Has Hidden Purjose? Senator Sutton also said that In his dorff, former quartermaster general opinion Allen's insistence on pushing the convention in face of the ever ap parent opposition indicated that he had some purpose behind it he had not divulged to the legislature and that he was striving to do something about which he did not see fit to take the legislature into his confidence. It seems absolutely certain that Sen ator Price will oppose any kind of a constitutional convention that is urged, and it seems to he the opinion of a great many senators that he will be one of the leaders in the fight against it if a f i(cM is Btaged. Senator McClain does not believe the legislature has the power to submit a proposition that will bind a convention j to change onlv certain parts pf the j old constitution and other senators who have looked into the matter hold the same opinion. Recently when one of the backers of the new Allen plan approached Sfna tor Satterthwaite and asked him if he had changed his attitude towards call ing a convention the senator from But- I ler said: "Yes. I have changed. I am more opposed to calling1 a convention than I ever have ben." 'TIGER' IS IMPROVING i Clcmonceau Xow Classed as a Coma-

The new revolution in Germany is giving added impetus to the work of preparing the outline for a preliminary peace. The con ferees are anxious to reach a point where food and materials may be shipped Into Germany to restore economic and political conditions to a normal basis. The peace conference had not jet received official advices on the situa tion In Germany today, owing to tha fact its representatives in that country are sending reports by courier rather than by telegraph. But there was a disposition on the part of the delegate to feel that speed In effecting a pre liminary peace is becoming more es sential each day from a standpoint of self-protection, if tfor no other reason. When Wilson Returns. While the question of whether peace with Germany or final disposition of the league of nations shall be taken up first after President Wilson's re turn probably will remain open until he is present to participate in the discussions, there appears little doubt at this time that the preliminary peace will be given precedence. The various committees are pro- C gresslng rapidly in the working out of details of the general peace settle ment. The sub-committee of the body which will determine responsibility and punishment for authors of the war, is understood to have comnleted its report on individual guilt, tho the wnoie committee has not vet acted. The sub-committees report is said to nave Deen unanimous. The committee of reparation in re ported to be approaching agreement on the principle upon which damage will be collected. It is further report ed that early high claims are being consistently shaved down to conform with what can be obtained. The com mittee is understood to show a prefer ence for making the period of pay ment as short as possible inside of twenty years rather than permit the cry of "commercial slavery" to go up from a couple of generations. An to Territorial Claims. In the matter of territorial oJalnii."" informal discussions regarding the western frontiers of Germany are go ing on. Only the Moroccan and Ar menian questions remain of the minor problems to be taken up. Representatives of various league of nations societies of the big powers will meet In London this week to eonfer. on amendments and additions to the constitution, which they will present when tho peace conference opens de bate on the covenant. Oscar Strauss and Hamilton Holt will represent the League to Enforce Peace. Senator Bourgeois of France and Premier Venizelos of Greece will at tend, giving the conference a semi official standing, so far as recommen dations are concerned. The Ameri cans are said to be desirous of adding an article making equality in religious and civil rights obligatory to all sig natory nations. The French seek some compromise, within constitution al bounds, in lieu of the International police force which they unsuccessful ly attempted to incorporate in the original draft. KANSAN FOR SPEAKER Boom for Campbell of Third as Harmony Candidate. Washington, Feb. 25. A boom for Representative Philip P. Campbell as a harmony candidate for speaker was started Monday by Republican mem bers of the Kansas delegation in the house, headed by Representative D. R. Anthony of Leavenworth. At a meeting at the capitol thia aft ernoon the delegation agreed that un less Gillett pi-oduces enough votes by tomorrow Campbell would be indorsed and his candidacy presented on the ground that the contest between Gil lett and Mann has reached the stage that Republican harmony will be threatened by the election of either. Gillett todsy claimed he had 140 votes, or ten more than a majority of the caucus, an estimate that was chal lenged by Representative Madaeri of Illinois, Mann's manager. .Campbell has represented the Third district in the house continuously for sixteen years, and at the recent elec. tion was returned by a large majority. The Kansas delegation in the house has decided to nominate Representa tive Comnbell for the speakership of the next house at the Republican cau cus Thursday.

The same thing could have been invoked where neces sary in behalf of the minor girl. "The very apparent, underlying rea son for this bill is simply to denude the young girl of her property before she reaches the age of discretion and good judgment. The experience of all welfare workers is that these very early marriages in most cases are not to the best interest ofvsociety. The offspring of such marriages are reared by immature parents, the mother is robbed of her education. The women look upon this measure as reactionary, unprogressive and sets Kansas back in the scale of human progress behind some of the good old Democrat states of the solid south."

CHANGE SEA LAWS New 'aval Rules Jfow Being Considered in Paris. Fit In With the Plan- for League of Nations. TO MAKE WAR IMPOSSIBLE U. P. Is Able To Giye the Prin cipal Points of Flan. Nation Is Held Responsible for Acts of Citizens. (Copyright, 1015. by the United Press.) Paris, Feb. 25. Revolutionary changes in international naval laws, which fitting in with the rules of the league of nations, would make war virtually impossible, are now under discussion. Regulations under which munitions are shipped from neutrals to warring countries would be com pletely overturned. Under their oper ation "freedom of the seas" would not be theoretical, but real. The United Press is able to state that the principal points favored by the peace delegates regarding muni tions shipments in the future are: 1. Kach nation shall be held respon sible for any unneutral act by its citi zens. Establish All Contraband. 2. All contKband must be estab lished at the outbreak of the war; and lists cannot be changed during the period of hostilities. 3. As carrying contraband natural ly is forbidden, the flag of a non-warring nation flying over a ship would be a guarantee that she was not car rying munitions or other prohibited materials. 4. If 3 ship arouses suspicion and is stopped within a restricted area, search shall be limited to investiga tion of .her papers to determine fcer nationality. 5. If a ship of a non-warring power discovered carrying contraband, that nation shall be subject to punishment by the league of nations, economically or otherwise, as the executive council recommends. Must Make Own Munitions. "If is obvious that under such rules no nation will be able to carry on a war beyond the limit of her own pro duction of munitions. The practice of buying munitions from a non-war ring power by payment of enormous prices and obtaining shipment thru payment of high freight rates with shippers taking the risk as hereto fore done would be eliminated by point one,- as carrying contraband would be a distinct violation of the law. and the nation from which a ship was sailing would ascertain that she carried no contraband, as a measure of self-protection. T,here would be no neutral power in the strict sense, after establishing the league of nations, but assuming that despite the rigidness of the league laws some powers would Jstart to engage in a war, these' new regulations would act as a further deterrent.- If -a bel ligerent violated the rules governing its movements at sea. it would bring upon H the judgment of the league, while violation by a non-belligerent would render the latter an accomplice in war-making. As the discussion progresses, the idea that is constantly brought to the fore front is not to frame rules under which war can be humanely conduct ed, but to render war impossible. KICK OX SINKING SHIPS Itome Paper Urges Distributing Hun Vessels Among the Allies. Rome, Feb. 25. A protest against the proposal to sink surrendered Ger man warships is printed by the Trl buna today.

It will cost the American people about $1,200,- 000,000 a year for the next twenty- five years to pay off the war debt, ac cording to estimates of the treasury, based on incomplete knowledge of pre cisely what the" final war debt will be. This calculation is made on the as sumption that the net war debt, with deductions for loans to the allies, will be in the neighborhood of 18,000, 000,000; interest on this amount at the rate of 44 per cent would be $765,000,000 a year to be raised by taxes, and then repaid to bondhold ers. In addition about $417,000,000 would have to be provided every year as a sinking fund to redeem all bonds In twenty-five years. This would require a cumulative sinking fund provision of 2.32 per cent. Congress has not yet author ized establishment of a sinking fund as recommended by Secretary Glass. Treasury officials assert that if this authorization is given, bonds might be bought upon the market each year or called for redemption at 'the periods provided in terms under which., they were sold. .SIGNS BIG TAX BILL President's Signature Is on the 6 Bil lion Dollar Measure.

There are reports comiug from all parts of the corn belt that the acreage to spring wheat will be largely increased, in some sections farmers are preparing to hold on to their corn aud oats in order to have feed grains for next season as the bulk of their land will go iuto wheat.' Those who make a study of agricultural conditions believe that the after effects of the guaranteed wheat price will be felt for several 7-ears to come aud express apprehension over the coarse grain situation. England ha 90, 40.uu0 bushels wheat In store, in transit and bought but not shipped from other countries, according to a cable to the Trade Bulletin from Broomhall. Corn stocks 15. 040,000. Traders who bought coru early on the dips in most instances took profits around $1.25 for May. This was taken by some of the close observers as indicat ing timidity among holders and an inclina tion to be satisfied with small profits. Short sellers were noticeable buyers on the late advance despite the increase of 252,000 iu local stocks last week. Country hold ers in Illinois, northwest and west offered a little corn here yesterday and purchases for immediate shipment were at 2 ceuts under the spot price. A featuie of the provision trade is the continued large ex ports, with plenty of stock back to supply the demand for the time being at leust. Buying by brockers credited to ft Milwau kee packer had a sustaining effect on values. A better feeling In lard and bacon exists in the United Kingdom. Examiner says some houses were advising saie of July 'corn and purchase of July oats. The United States department of agriculture in a special artice sent broadcast yesterllay urged farmers to get ready for early spring planting and to seed goodly amounts of corn. Buenos Aires reports strike there still being maintained. Stabilization, of commodity values by the government is ex- Sected to have an indirect effect on grain, any traders are bearish more on the price aud mild winter than for ny other reason.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 25, 1919 fx. X L 1 SRO TO REPORTER And the Standing Boom Was Outside the "Theater." Republican Caucus Xot Open To the Public Eye. LINE UP BEHIND GOVERNOR Members of Senate Asked To Aid Allen Program 1 A Few of the Senators Didn't Get Invitations. BY- CLUG. "What appears to have been an at tempt to "line up" members of the Kansaa senate behind some kind of an Allen program was held behind closed doors in "the governor's office late- Monday afternoon. Practically all of the Republican members were in attendance, but. Senators Price, Paulen. Anspaugh and Satterthwaite were not and stated they were not asked. 1 A reporter' for The State Journal heard of the meeting, or caucus, and asked Lieutenant Governor Huffman if it was going to be a private meet ing. "I; know nothjnn"--whatever about any meeting," Huffman said, "but if there is one and? i have anything to say about it, newspaper nften will be welcome. The reporter had heard that the meeting was to be held in the office of Walter B. Wilson, state bank com missioner and went to him for infor mation "There is going to be no caucus to day," Wilson said. "There was some talk of one, but it in not going to be held today The reporter asked Wilson to let him know if- there should be a meet ing and was assured this would be done. In less than ten minutes after this assurance was given Wilson led a delegation of senators from his of fice, where they had been told to meet, to the governors office. At the door to the outer office of the governor the reporter stopped Wil son and told him that if it was an open caucus he would like to attend. Wilson said it was just a delegation calling on the governor and the re porter went in and sat down. Almost immediately the governor got up and went out and a few minutes later his provate secretary, "Billy' Souders, called the reporter from the room. The governor and Wilson were talking and the governor went over to the re porter and said: Private, Says Allen. 'This is going to be a private meet ing. We are going to discuss some matters very frankly and feel this can better be done without the presence of newspaper men." The reporter thanked him and went back to the empty senate chamber where Governor Huffman had to give the senate an "at ease" recess until the caucus was over because there were not enough Democrats and "outsiders' present to make it possible to take up the consideration,, of,. bills:. Cf K ..4 Senators who' attended thecatcs in the governor's office stated that nothing was done and that another, meeting will be held, probably Wed nesday, to make further efforts to get. behind some kind of a program that will enable Governor Allen to at least get some of his proposed legislation before the senate as a body. So far not a single Allen measure has come up for consideration in the senate. At the Monday afternoon caucus It is said the talk was confined to a brief discussion of the land tenantry and the constitutional convention ques tions. One senator, who was present. intimated that an indirect effort was made to make these party issues and thus to line up the Republicans be hind the Allen measures. Apologies to Senators. After the meeting it was explained that apologies had been offered to the senators who were not invited. Senators Milligan and McClain also did not attend. Senator Milligan said he was invited but was busy in a committee meeting. Senator McClain at first said he was ont invited, but later remembered that Senator Montee had told him there was to be a meet ing but did not tell him it was to be in the governor's office. Of the senators who did not attend, it is known that Satterthwaite is abso lutely opposed to a constitutional con vention and it Is believed that Price and Anspaugh also are, but they have not openly expressed themselves. Mc Clain is absolutely opposed to an open convention and Paulen admits he is not entirely in accord with all Gov ernor Allen advocates. ELKS TO INITIATE 300 Big Clans Will Be Taken Into Ixxlge Wednesday Night. There will be three hundred more members of Klks Lodge No, 204 Thusrday morning than there are to day. A class of that many candidates will accept the obligations of the lodge Wednesday evening. This is the sec ond largest class in the history of the 101 ks club the biggest being a class taken in &t New Orleans. A dance has been arranged for the new members and their wives or sweethearts after the initiation. A buffet supper for the incoming mem bers will be held in the basement of the Klks club beginning promptly at 6 o'clock. The initiatory rites will be completed by 10 o'clock, when the dance is scheduled to begin. For the ladies of the initiates a four- course .dinner will be served which is i expected to take up a large share of the time while the escorts are "riding the goat." A special committee of women, wives of Klks, has been asked to assist as hostesses at the dance and at the supper for the ladies. The wom en on the committee are: Mrs. H. It IVppimwer. Mrs. A. D.

R&OUT IT. t ,M m Yesterday on leaving the Orpheum a man came to me and said, X oo hope you'll have brains enough to say this Hart picture frs bad, and that Hart is a rotten actor." To which I shall reply; "The popularity of William S- Hart reminds me ot the harlequins and celebrated mimics of the Boulevard Du Crime. In these two types of art, as different as they are, the actor is everything. The success of a film de pends, above all, on the value of the player, who is no longer only an in terpreter, but a creator. I do not know William S. Hart, I know noth ing of his method of work. I judge j nun vuiy uy wiiui x aec, uiiu x .tumv find in the theater the equivalent for the effects realized by him upon the screen. Lake the ancient mimers, the part William S. Hart represents is al ways the same. The foundation of his characters is uprighteousness, kindness and generosity. Most of the time he is the adventurous cowboy, the "beau-cavalier," who comes to you with kindly manner, frank look and open hands. He has the tenderness and simplicity of the hero who is al ways surprised at the evil intentions of men. He never doubts the words of another, since his own is sacred. He does not hate his enemy because of the harm he has done him, but because of the contempt with which lies and treason inspire him. These generous traits are found in almost all his roles. He never uses the artifice of theatrical makeup to create his various roles, but searches within, for the psychological traits which differ entiate his characters. Lack of words might lead him to an exaggeration of mimicry and gesture; but few actors of the spoken drama are as natural and unaffected as he. Whether Hart is a calculator of effects, or a born actor matters little; I consider only the result obtained the image which the screen presents to me. I am per suaded that there is a great deal of craftsmanship in all he does, but since it is well done, one is seldom aware of it. He has the calm and sangfroid of a great actor, who even in the transport of passion keeps an eye on himself. On this mask of an honest man, which he has adopted, emotion appears at a desired time, altho it has the effect of spring spontaneously from circumstances. He is never on his guard against the blow he will receive, and plays as tho absolutely ignorant of what will happen to him. He knows how to contain himself, and to burst forth at the right moment, and this outburst Is superb, because it is profoundly human. The art of William S. Hart has the flavor of the unaffected artistry of that great French actor, Jodelet, and it is re freshing to see an actor on the screen return to the true tradition of ancient comedy" and thus have I answered my bigoted friend of yesterday and to him. and to all, I say, "Please do not criticize that which you cannot possibly do yourself. And oh, I nearly forgot to tell you, that a woodshed doesn't necessarily have to be built of wood... .And I guess. -r8rt witl be about all. f., '.N.S.A.

"I don't belieVe I would be alive to day if 1 had not taken Tanlac," said Frank Mount, a valuable employe of the Santa Fe railroad, whose residence is 1409 South Twenty-seventh street, Argentine, Kan., the other day. "I have been in a badly rundown condition for the last ten years," he continued, "and when I began taking Tanlac I had almost given up hope of ever finding a medicine that would give me any relief. The condition of my stomach was so bad that I could never eat anything without suffering tortures afterwards. Gas always formed on my stomach after meals, and I suffered with severe headaches, and I often got so dizzy that if I stooped over I would fall. Sometimes I would have shooting pains all through my body, and had a heavy feeling in my stomach all the time. I was also bothered a great deal with constipation, and finally become so weak and rundown that I had to give up my position with the Missouri Pa cific railroad, as I was so nervous and wornout that I could not attend to my duties. "Not verv lone cn T rend in the i iranra ritv Tt i-hor a rrrrr. manv pe0ple who seemed to be affected just like I was. had gotten relief by takin Tanlac. It just struck me that Tanlac was the very thing I needed, so I bought a bottle and commenced tak ing it, and I actually began to feel much better by the time I had tajeen half of the first bottle. My appetite improved, and very soon my food began to agree with me much better than It had for a long time. By the time I had finished my third lottle I was able to eat just anything I wanted, and there was such a big improvement in the conditions of my stomach that everything- I ate agreed with me per fectly. I have just finished my fifth bottle of Tanlac, and I have as good health now as I ever had in my life. I am back at work and putting in ful time every day, and my nerves have gotten In such fine condition that I sleep like I did when I was a boy. and get up every morning feeling rested and ready for 'my day's work. I have sjained ten pounds in weight since I commenced taking Tanlac. and am srlad to have this opportunity to rec ommend it to others." Tanlac is sold in Tooeka by Tully McFarland Drug Co.

While the Poindexters, the Borahs, the Vardamans.the Reeds rnd the Fesses in congress are ranting against the president of the United States and against the proposal of a league of na tions to secure the world against fu ture wars, former President Taft Is saying: "The gentlemen in the senate who are setting out to defeat this league of nations are those I would not trust overnight." Compare the members of that little group, which includes both Republicans and Demo crats, some fighting the league of na tions principle "or petty partisan rea sons and others thru personal spite and vindictive malice, says the At lanta Constitution, with big, broad, forwar l-lool-'ng, humanitarian Wil liam Howard Taft. standing with his head above the clouds and facing the sun. A continuation of those commodity prices which are being artificially maintained or a precipitate decline of prices that are based on supply and' demand would be about equally bad for the business interests of the coun try. The artificially maintained prices are those of which the people are complaining. Everybody is willing to pay a just and reasonable profit to both labor and capital. Senator Sherman wants to keep President Wilson from talking and the president would like to have the senators quit talking. Since neither is likely to pay any attention to the other the public appears to be in for a large amount of oratory on the sub ject of a society of nations. In the mcntime the gospel of peace on earth and good will to men is being carried from one end of the country to the other by former President Taft and three former ambassadors of the Vnited States to European countries. It seems unlikely that the senate will enter upon a discussion of the society of nations constitution without a working knowledge of bow the pub lic feels about it. Since Illinois and Pennsylvania pointed the way to comprehensive statc-v ide permanent road systems at t.icir electio s last November, other states "have been jr-mping into the road game. On Febru 4, the legislature of Minnc-ot" dopted a resolution to submit a constitutional amendme- to the voters authorizing the state to is sue bonds up to $100,000,000 for paved highway construction. Altho this cannot come before the voters un til the general election in November, 3 920, the "on shows commendable preparedness. On the whole the past week has shown decided progress toward the new, and it is to be hoped normal, con dition of things, says Hour.- Clews In his Financial Review, and while there is still much to be done there are many who think that the turn of the tide is in sight if not actually here. The stock market with its keen perceptions evi dently believes so and is already dis counting the better outlook. Food stuffs have shown a distinct down ward tendency as compared with the "Bigh prices before the conclusion of le armistice, he conti-.ues, altho they are by 1 means rack to pre-war lev els and not likely to go there.

VOTING AWAY PUBLIC FIXDS. The passage of the annual "pork barrel" rivers and harbors bill, carry- 1 ing more than thirty million dollars. I by the house indicates that there is to be no let up in reckless expenditure of public money by the present con gress. The public has grown accus tomed to this sort of thing but there" is rising, thruout the country, a wave of protest against the continuation, for socialistic and paternalistic ecot nomic ventures, of a vast wartime ex penditure and its resultant burdens. On December 31, 1918, the outstand ing obligations of the government la bonds, certificates of indebtedness, war savings stamps, etc., amounted to $21,000,000,000. The interest on this is estimated at $1,000,000,000. The naval appropriation now being consid ered calls for an expenditure of $746, 000.000. For hospital construction $30,000,000 is to be spent. The merchant marine will cost us, conservatively, abOLt $650,000,000. The extra cost for war in discharging men from the service will be at least $500,000,000, and possibly double that. The aircraft appropriation of -from $25,000,000 to $30,000,000 does not in clude the proposed aerial mail, and that undoubtedly will call for $50,000. 000 more. The government operation of the railroads already has furnished an item of $755,000,000 during the first year of government control, and this probably will be Increased to $800,000,000 before the roads are re stored to their owners. Government contracts have been au thorized up to $3,000,000,000. The guarantee to the farmers on wheat, conservatively estimated, will be $1, 0Q0, 000,000. The war risk insurance will require $150,000,000. The Euro pean food bill recently passed carried $100,000,000. Extra clerk hire to members of the house will exceed $500,000 in the next twelve months. The federal employment bureau is asking for $14,000,000 for the next year. The bonus for soldiers provid ed in the revenue bill $60 a man will amount to $255,000,000. Many of these expenditures are necessary and unavoidable, but there should be a halt in imposing uncalled for burdens on the weary taxpayers. A bill for the regulation of plumb ers has been offeredin the Kansas leg islature. Unless it contain a section which will prevent the plumber from charging for time consumed in re turning to his shop for a tool it will not greatly interest the public. THE CURE FOU BOLSHEVISM There is pending in both houses of congress a bill which directs the sec retary of the interior thru the bureau of education to co-operate with the several states in the education of il literate peoples' and in the prepara tion of teachers for the work. The appropriations begin at once and end in 1926. A state, to obtain the money, acts thru its chief school officer and shajl not participate until it has required the instruction of illiterate and non English speaking minors more than 16 years of age, in the American lan guage, for at least 200 hours per year. Federal money shall be used only for salaries or training teachers and no federal money shall be used for buildings or equipment or for sup port of religious or private schools. Each state receives money in propor tion to the number of her illiterates. Eight and a half million persons in the United States over 10 years of age can not read a newspaper, bill board, car card, sign, booklet or letter in the American language. Five and a half millions of them cannot read anything in any language. These facts demand the immediate consideration of the nation. The war has demon strated some of the dangers from large numbers of foreign-born persons who have not been assimilated or Americanized. It has also brought to light thousands upon thousands of native-born Americans who can not read or write. These Illiterate and aliens outnum ber all the people in Nevada, Wyom ing. Delaware, Arizona, Idaho, Mis sissippi, Vermont, Rhode Island. Xorth Dakota, South Dakota, Oregon, Maine, Florida, Cannecticut and Washington combined. They exceed the total population of the Dominion of Canada. As voters, their ballots will outweigh the influence of Greater Xew York, Philadelphia and Chicago in national affairs. Such people should be educated at least sufficiently to read the Constitution of the United States and American newspapers and to know something of what it means to be an American.

D. C. WHAT DO YOU PAY FOK HEALTH? Washington. D. C, Feb. 21. How much would you give to be perfectly healthy? j "Almost anything," you are inclined to reply. 9 "Almost nothing." is apt to be "your answer to this, if you are honest. If you spend more than 30 cents a year on your health, you spend mare than the average. And in time, care and thought, you probably spend even less than you do in money. An investigation by the United States public health service of the cost of keeping well in a number of repre sentative American cities in the east and middle west, revealed the fact that the average individual spent 29 cents per year for his health. In some cities the per capita expenditure ran as high as 39 cents, and in others it was as low as 9 cents, but the average was 29. Yet it is not unusual to find people in the same cities paying as much as $2.50 per person for the maintenance of their police force or fire department. In commenting on this low expendi ture for health. Dr. Josephine Baker of the New York health department, says: "It is curious how people will squander the most valuable property they have their health arid yet man age their acquired assets with the greatest judgment and caution. They will endure diseased tissue for any length -of time rather than pay the expense of an operation, but they think nothing of walking into a lawyer's of fice and depositing a large retaining fee if some of their property is in danger." Before the war. public opinion was already mildly aroused to the impor tance of improving health conditions. The public health service, for the pur pose of enforcing sanitation, was es tablished seventeen years ago.- But its funds have always been entirely too meager to eope with its problem, and as a result its measures have been aimed to correct, rather than to pre vent, an unfortunate situation. With the outbreak of the war and the com ing of the draft, people were fully awakened to the fact that corrective measures were not enough. They were confronted with several unpleasant facts. One was that 30 per cent of the men examined in the draft were rejected becouse they were physically unfit unfit to serve in any capacity in the army. Another was that, upon the basis of army figures, one out of every six persons in the United States is suffering from venereal disease. Next to actual combat with the Germans, the greatest fight of the war was against venereal- disease. This fight was so successful that the vene real rate was lowered below that of any other army, past or present. Nev ertheless, in spite of this lowered rate, the army lost more days of service on account of venereal disease than from any other cause. From September 8, 1917. when the first drafted men be gan to pour into camp, until Novem ber, 8, 1918. juFt before the signing of the armistice, there were 197.391 cases of venereal disease in our army in the United States. By certain vigorous measures. danger from infection was made as small as possible for the soldiers in this country. But when t:- Ameri can army reached France the situation was auierent. The French govern ment had not reached the same con clusion concerning venereal diseases as had the American government, and among other facilities-France offered to American troops were Its houses of prostitution, established in the vicinitv of the front. These houses were under the inspection of the French medical corps. Almost immediately, the ven eral rate in the American armv rose 10 ztu to every l.ouo. The American medical corps then suggested that it oe permitted to assist in the inspection of the houses. After this, the rate dropped to 171 in everv 1.000. Even this rate was high enough greatly to handicap the efficiency of the armv. so General Pershing issued an order declaring the French houses of prosti tution out of bounds. The rate then dropped to only 73 in every 1,000. Now that the army is being de mobilized, the government is losing what control it had over four million men. ,The same conditions which ex isted at the beginning of the war, under which one person in every six was suffering with veneral disease, will doubtless be established unless the ommunity takes up the problem where the army left off. Fortunately, much has been accomplished during the past year in arousing public opin ion to the danger of venereal infec tion. A great deal of the prudery, which made the treatment and segre gation pf the disease difficult has been abolished; and the people no longer seal their ears to scientific facts. Women, who, a few years ago, would have hastily left the room at the mention of any one of the social diseases, are now attending lectures on the subect. ant are tryinc to de velop measures for combating venereal infection. Ministers have been asked to speak on this subject by the United States public health service, which is at tempting to interest every community in continuing the good work of the army. In addition to this, the churches are asked to call separate meeting of men and women at which the facts concerning venereal disease shall be discussed and remedial meas ures formulated. Many helpful sugges tions for combating it have already been presented by eminent physicians and sociologists, and even more help ful suggestions have been obtained from other countries, which are also greatly concerned with the problem. In Scandinavian countries, for ex ample, a system exists by which every person suffering from venereal dis ease is required to report it to the health department, together with the name of the person from whom he ob tained the infection. As a check on this information. every physician treating a patient with venereal dis ease is compelled to report it to the bealth department. If a person fails to register this information, either ac cidentally or deliberately, he is sub ject to imprisonment. The idea of this system, of course, is to secure the name of every victim of venereal dis ease and isolate him until he is cured, so that he t-innot spread the infection. There is a general awakening to the fact that a large percentage of our r-hysical mistries are preventable, and that the health of every man is worth more than the- 30 cents year he spends on it.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS BY DOROTHY DIX World's Highest Paid Woman Writer. v The Girl and Her Family. 2. It is the girls who use their wage to refurnish the house and make ;i comfortable, not the boys. It is the girls who pinch a little out of their pay envelopes to send back home the money to make mother more comfort able, not the boys. It is the girls who deny themselves pretty clothes, and perhaps even the chance of marrying and settling themselves, to educate the younger brothers and sisters. The family martyr is almost invariably j of the feminine sex. i And not only do the girls sacrifice j themselves more willingly for the fam- ily than the boys do, but their par- ents feel that they have a right to demand more of them than they have of the boys, It's the irls mother i calls on to help with the housework after their day's labor in office, n store, or factory, not the boys. She feels that the boys are so tired they should rest when they come home. It is the daughter, not the son, who is expected to give up her career, j and take care of her querulous old parents. All of this traditional theory of a girl's duty to a famil;, as well as her natural impulse, makes it difficult for her to follow the man's way when it comes to making a choice between her ambition, and her heart, and con science. Yet only two courses are open to her. She must either follow her owr star, leaving her family behind her, or else she must be big enough tt overcome the pride that makes her ashamed of the mother who bore her, and the sisters and brothers with whom she played, because their gram mar is rickety, and they have not the manners of a finishing school. There is an intellectual snobbishness as well as a material snobbishness and it makes many of us scorn those ai whose feet we might well sit and learn. Many an old man and woman whose wrords come blunderingly, and whose phrases are homely, have learned a wisdom from life far more profound than any that is taught in colleges, and they could teach the educated children who think them ignorant, more of philosophy, more of psychol ogy than the sons or daughters who are ashamed of them ever knew But it takes a woman of heart, and soul, as well as brains to understand and appreciate that all knowledge does not come put up in school sized packages with a college label on it; that it takts something more than manr.t-s to make a gentleman and lady; that to a discerning eye a rough diamond is often more interesting than a pous. ed one, and whether a woman is big enough to get this angle or not on her family, she alone can tell. Whether the breaking of home ties ever pays; whether any applause is ever sweet enough to make up for t- 'nss of a mother's kiss and a father's pride in his t, 1; whether the society of any intellectuals, tho they discourse never so profoundly about vers libre, and the symbolism of Sudermann, and interpret the inne r. ing of Ibsen, is worth the un questioning affection of those who love you for yourself alone, and is, without reference to what you achieve or don't achieve, as Kipling says, an other story. But one thing is certain. If a self made woman is ashamed of her fam ily, let her get away from them as fast as possible. In mercy to tn family- (CopTHfbted. Jr; y Th Wkeaicr 8yH. nit.

It was a glorious afternoon Poets and writers with a wide Vocabulary of Adjectives would have rebelled in de scribing It. Lenora Montrose sank into a comfortable big chair on the veranda and endeavored to enjoy every breath of- it. But even enjoying afternoons becomes tiresome, especially to girls of Lenora's type, so she rummaged thru the magazine rack-by her side in search of something of interest. A magazine fell from the center of the pile and opened at her feet. Lenora gave an exclamation of disapproval as she saw her own face looking at her from the open page. Would that that articleand picture might vanish from her sight, she wished, as she kicked the book closed. It was the most idiotic thing she had ever read. She hadn't thought that at first, but now she felt it nearly every minutes of the day. Why couldn't she forget it? She couldn'J no matter how hard she tried, for she had been so proud of it at first; and she hak read it so many times, it was im pressed on her memory for all times to come. The paragraph under her picture was -the one that galled her most. The article was practically all about her father but that one para graph about herself was the one she hated. She could see it in her mind's eye staring out at her morning, noon and night. "Miss L.enora Montrose, the chasming young lady pictured above, only daughter of Dr. Montrose, the well-known health specialist, falls in line with her father's views on the osculatory practice. The young man who weds her will be denied the privi lege of kissing his bride, she states emphatically. Dr. Montrose is en deavoring to secure legislation to make kissing illegal." However she could have made such a statement for publication she could not see now, but she made it, and there was no denying it. It was barely five months before that she had given the interview to the magazine writer in connection with the article about her father. She was just fresh from school and hadn't thought of anything but books aid what a great man her father was. Kow was she to know, that some day she would want to be kissed Her change of views all came about because of the new chauffeur. That was another thing to worry about she was In love with a chauffeur. The very thought of it made her blush. To think of her. the daughter of one of the leading scientists of the day, in love with a chauffeur. Here her sentiment got the best of her pride. Dick Cochrane was not a common chauffeur far from it. He was the very finest chauffeur and the best looking young man she had ever known. He showed refinement and education, too, that bewildered her. Who was Dick and where did he come from? she asked herself a dozen times a day. She was sure there was a ro- mance connected with him and she was going to find out all about it. Per- j haps it was better she did not know. Why in the world couldn't he tell her? He would, she was sure, when he j asked her to marry him. Ho had been j on: the point of asking her on two or; three occasions but he hadn't. Why hadn't he? Was it foixthe same rea son that he didn't kiss her? He had been on the point of kissing her on more than two or three occasions and had always stopped himself. She knew that he knew of the magazine article and that yas what caused him to re frain. Kow she hated that article! All her pent-up feeling was exerted in one kick at the magazine at her feet and it shot from the veranda and lit j at the feet of Dick- Cochrane as he i rounded the corner of the house. s "'Who's throwing magazines at me?" he called out, as he picked it up. He caught sipht of Lenora's flushed face; and whistled softly. "What has been disturbing you, Nora?' he asked. He was the only cne who had ever dared shorten her name. "Not this maga zine. T hope?" "I hate it!" Nora cried. "I hate it. and its beastly publisher and Inter viewer. I hate every word in it." He ran his fingers thru the pages and opened the book at the article that had caused all the disturbance. "Why here is your picture in It." The an rprise in his voice was well feigned. "You knew It was there all the time," she exclaimed, impatiently. "It is a horrible picture and that article is idotic. I can't understand father bothering about such trivial things when there are so many big things in the world to engage his atten tion." "Then you do think kissing is, all riffht he asked hopefully. "You never made such a statement this article is a lie?" "I did make that statement. The article was true then, but I've changed my views. I was only a silly girl then." "This magazine is only three months old," he said, as he looked at the date. "Hasn't your change of views been rather sudden?" "I gave that interview two months before tha: issue was published. That was before I knew you." "Has our acquaintance had anything to do with your change of mind?" he ,miled. "You have never kissed met She was on the defense in a minute. "No. I have never dared. You see, I am only your father's chauffeur. "That is not what has kept you back. Was it because of the article?" she asked. Dick scaled the veranda railing and stood by her side. "Before I answer that question will you let me kiss you?" he asked i eargerly Lenora blushed, but she did not re fuse. That was all the answer Dick needed. "Now," he said, as he sat down beside her, "I can tell you what I have wanted to tell you for the past month. It was not because of that a -tide that I didn't kiss you, but it was because of it that I did. By so doing I have won a wager of five thousand dollars." k "What!" Lenora gasped. "Five thousand dollars for kissing me." "Yes." he laughed, "I am not a chauffeur in reality; in fact, I am far from It. I have three chauffeurs of my own." "I knew it!" Lenora cried, tls she jumped tj her feet. "You have de ceived me. You have been trifl ing with i.iy affections, just to win five thousand dollars. How-cruel of you!" There was an outburst of tears before she could start for the house. "Stop, Nora," Dick interceded, seri ously. "I have something more to say." He had almost to drag her pack to the chair. "If you will give me a chance I will set everything right." he pleaded. "I did comedo trifle with your affections. Your picture and the article came under discussion at my club, and I got mixed up in an argument about It that resulted in- the wager being made. J. guaranteed to kiss you, without using force, before three months were over. Tomorrow is the last day. I was beginning to think that 1 was going to ,lose out. too. You see. when I made the wager I didn't figure on falling in love with you. If it hadn't been for that I vould have stolen a kiss long ago, but every time I had half an opportunity I changed my mind. I respected you and what you believed in too r.uch for anything like that. I do love you Nora, ahd 1 want to marry you. Didn't my kiss tell you that?" I have heard it said that kisses say a lot." she replied, "but I haven't had enough of them to quite under stand their language." "Suppose I teach it to you," he sug gested, planting a sample lesson on her lips. (Copyright. 1010. by the McClure News pa per Sy u die a te. HOUSEHOLD HINTS Itocipcs for a Day.

SWEEPING BACK THE TIDE HEART AND BEAUTY PROBLEMS BT MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON. Dear Mrs. Thompson: If two couples go out to the show if one of the boys does not Buggest going to a drug store would it be all rlsht for one of the girls to -mention it? If a boy calls at the home of a girl and loes not ask her to go out any where would it be all right for the girl to suggest going out some place? .FUK. The girl should not mention it be cause it is the boy's place. She should not suggest going out. If hw had wanted to go somewhere instead of calling he would have sug gested doing so. Dear Mrs. Thompson: (1) How long eiuulil a girl wear an engage ment ring before she is married? 2 If a girl is engased is it all right for her to hold on to the arm of the boy to whom she is engaged? (3) Do you think a girl love3 a boy if she is not a Mule Jealous of him? DOT. 1 A girl can v.-enr an engage ment ring from tha' time she is en gaged until she is married or the en gagement is broken. (2 She has the right, but it looks better nowadays for tha man to take the girl's arm. 3 1 Yes, a girl can love without being jealous. Her faith is too gieat to permit jealousy. Dear Mrs.'Thompson: I am aiano teacher. I have taken piano lesKons about eiht years and have also gone to a school of music. Will you please advise me how to get pupils? THANK YOU. To advertise would be the most efficient way to get pupils, but such a course might be too expensive. You can, however, advertise in a small way by putting aisign at the side of your front door reading "lJiano Lessons." Get a good sign such as doctors use. Tell your friends that you are giving lessons and ask them to keep you in mind if they hear of prospective pu pils. It wr-ifld also pay to call at homes where- there are children of an age to take lessons. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young married woman with a small son four years old. We live with my husband's family and both my husuanu and 1 work. I think J should stay home and take care of my son, but I can not get along with my mother-in-law. The only way to keep any peace in the house is for me to stay away all day. When my husband is home everything goes all right, but when I am there alone she is continually nagging and whining. What shall I do? We did live alone, but my health failed. MRS. W. If your health will permit you to work every day it seems to me that you ought to be able to do house work, especially if you had help for the heavier work or some of the new devices for making work easier. The saying is true that no house is big enough for two families. The money you have earned ought to be enough to pay for any help you might need. The strain if living under the condi tions you do does not tend to Improve your health. Dear Mrs. Thompson: Last summer I fell in love with one of my class mates. I went several places with him until he went to the mountains. After he left he wrote to me several times. I finally got tired of writing to him. Then when he came back I wanted to be friends again, but of course he was angry because I didn't answer his letter. Can you tell me what to do to get him to like me? X. Y. Z. The best you can do is to speak to the boy in a friendly way when you meet. If he insists upon being angry. you will have to let him be. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl 18 years old. Last summer latner and I were in California and 1 met a young man 1 year's old. We fell In love with eacn other and he asked me to marry him. Father wouldn't consent because we were mo young. Recently I received a letter from him saying he would come here and we would be secretly married. Would this be right or wo lid you wait until your parents. consented? Da you think; father would forgiva me afterward JANET. Both, of you are too young to marry. Wait until your father gives his consent, because you may be sure your father is right in objecting to your marriage now. If your love is real it will last a year or two and you can marry then. Not knowing ycur father, I cannot say that he would forgive a secret marriage. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have a pair of white cloth shoes. Is there a cer-. taifi kind of polish for cleaning them, and if there is, what is it? LILLIAN MAE. There are several efficient white 1 shoe cleaners on the market for cloth shoes. Ask your shoe dealer to rec ommend one of them. "Bertha" (misunderstood and Im posed upon sister): A most interest ing letter has come to me, which the writer wants forwarded to you and not published in my column.

PENWELL UNDERTAKING CO. 50B-508-S10 Qui dc J Street. Pho: IDS A bill changing the representative personnel of the state school book commission. Introduced in the house by Scott of Rooks, has been returned from the committee on education with a majority recommendation that it be passed. A minority report, making other changes, however, is also at tached. Under the present law the person nel ot the commission is comprised of the following representative members: The state superintendent of education. The president of the State Agricul tural college. The state printer. The president of the State Normal college. The president of tne stale agricul tural soeietv. Two members appointive at large hv the crovernor. Changes proposed in the Rooks bill would give the commission the follow ing membershiD: The state superintendent of educa tion. The state nrinter. Five members appointive by the governor to be representative of these: A county superintendent. A city superintendent. A member of the board of educa tion. A member of the state board of ag riculture. One member at large. The minority committee report on the bill recommeftds that the county superintendent be eliminated and that the governor appoint two members, instead of one, at large. Kndanger State Publication. Altho reported favorably by the committee majority, considerable op position is developing to the bill. The great majority of this opposition. It Is asserted, is coming from persons who see the state publication of text books placed in jeopardy if the representa tio personnel of the commission is changed. The present membership of the board, it is asserted, has proven itself ironclad against efforts of the "book trusts" to get a toehold on the situation, and it is feared that the so-called eastern book lobby would succeed in getting friendly members appointed to the new commission. Supporters of the measure include officers and educators in control of the state teachers' association altho it 0. J. WOOD IS HONORED Topeka n Made Grand Master" of Ma sonic Grand Lodge.

Information tending to show a plot was being; hatched to assassinate President "Wil son was gathered in trtis city, Tcdd Daniels, division superintendent of the department of justice, bureau of in vestigation, declared today, despite the denials of secret service authorities that such a plot had been unearthed. "Whether evi.len e can bo secured to substantiate this information, I am not prepared to say," he said. Reports from the department bu reau here transmitted to the secret service agents precipitated the arrest of many aliens in New York, Daniels declared. Five of eleven men arrested in this city were held pending advice from deportation authorities. Mdimldns :giezfoSlie- The other night Pa Jimkins and me went to the movie show. It'd been some time since we had saw a. show together, and we sure did enjoy that one. -meres one thing about folks that go to shows here in Topekv they're just that nice and friendly that they tell you all about the show as it goes along. Sometimes I wonder what I'd do if it wasn't for me always drawing somebody that sets behind me and tells all about it, even reads all the leads for you. This yere picture that We saw was all about a poor working girl that was slaving her life away for a young niece, whose father was dead and the mother in jail for liftin things. The poor working girl was giving a party for the little niece, and I swear that the woman I drawed this timeknew just what they was goin to have to eat, and what they was goin to and every blessed thing about it, only sometimes she st things wrong, but bless her heart, she meant all right, and all she wanted was just to make everybody around within hearing dis tance have a good time at the show. When the poor working girl was trying on some new shoes that she seemed real pleased with, the woman that way telling about it said, "She's awful pleased with them new shoes," and then, when the ice cream was de livered C. O. L she had to give the feller all the money she had. and the woman said, "See, she's goin' to have to take back the money because she's not got enough to pay for them and the ice cream too." P Jimkins. he didn't appreciate it a bit, and he whispered so loud to me that I was afeared the kind hearted thing would hear, Ain't the blamed fool got no sense? Does- she think she's the only person here who knows how to read, or whose got eyes in their head?" But I told him that I knew she was just giving folks a treat, and that she was one of them souls that just nat urally pine to be of service. He couldn't see it thataway, and said the management had ought! to throw a re quest on the screen, same as the one tellin' folks to take off their hats, tell in' just such women to keep their mouths shut and let other frrlks to re main in dark ignorance, or leastways, to keep their knowledge to theirselves. Of course. I don't mind, and in fact. I'm awful grateful to that woman. She always sets behind me. no matter where I go. Even when I went to see Maxine Elliott, even there she went too, and explained the whole thing as we went along, so's nobody couldn't a' helped knowing what was going on. It was a good thing she did. too. for, what with the buzz her voice made, and me bein so fur back, and the folks a' comin in late, and ail the con fusion, I didn't get to hear a word of the first act. and if it hadn't a been for her. I don't suppose I'd a' had an idee what it was about. So I'm not say in' that she's an un mitigated nuisance, as Pa Jimkins de clares she is, and she can keep right on readin' the leads to me. and tellin me what the heroine means when she throws herself down and cries fitten to bust. She'd likely keep right on doing it anyay, so's a body might just as well be philosophical about it. MA JIMKINS. Don't Delay Come at Qnce $5 WF Note!

ERASER BROS. GROCETERIA Sixth and Jackson Phone 660 GET SENATE 0. K. Metcalf and Watson Appointed to Aat'l Guard Places, Confirmation ComeSj From Up per House Under Emergency. ROW OVER PURE WATER BILL Measure Ainted at Careless Oil Men Starts "Doin's." Senators Lose Dignity and lie sort to Ozark Eloquence. Appointments of Wilder S. Metcalf of Lawrence as brigadier general of the Kansas National Guard organiza tion and IV. J. Watson of Pittsburg as Judge advocate general, were sent to the senate today by Governor Allen, and upon motion of Senator Getty an emergency was declared, the rules were suspended and the two appoint ments were immediately confirmed. The senate spent all of its morning session passing bills on third reading. The only measure of any general im portance that brought forth any argu ments was house bill No. 90. which was substituted for senate bill No. 101 by Smith, requiring oil drillers to take precautions to prevent salt water pol lution of fresh water supplies in the oil districts of the state. Both the house and senate bills were introduced merely for the pur pose of protecting local water supplies, but they soon became "of importance in all sections where oil wells are put down. It was argued by a number of senators that the passage of the bill making it compulsory for drillers to keep salt water from rising to the pure water supply and polluting it would greatly handicap the oil industry of the state, but the majority of senators seemed to be of the opinion that the water supply was of more value than the oil that has to be produced at the sacrifice of pure water. Getty in "Pure Water" Pica. Senator Getty espoused the cause of those who demand pure water and engaged in debate with several who opposed the passage of the bill. Sen ator Coleman offered an amendment that would have taken all of the teeth out of the bill at one jerk, but this was voted down. Among those who argued that the passage of the bill would cripple the oil industry were Senator Paulen, state oil inspector, and Senator Sparks, who has been in the mining -business all his life and who is very familiar with well drilling. Paulen made the assertion that the passage of the bill would drire many oil operators to Texas, because it would be imnqssible for them to continue to develop the Kansas fields. Senator Sparks and Senator Getty engaged in a heated argument when Sparks contended that it would be impossible to keen salt water from rising on the outside of a casing. The Cherokee senator threw off some of the upper house veneer and resorted to. Ozark eloquence and the words of a plain Umt-man. In tellinff how it was impossible to keep palfc water from rising outside of a ctpin? he said: "That is a God-a-mighty's fact." In answering one of Senator Getty's questions, be said: "Von aie talking about something- you dn't know any thing about. I know what I am talk--ing p. bout." Committees Make Cleaning. A large number of committee re Torts were made during the morning. The judiciary committee practically, cleaned up the ragged ends of the proposed constitutional amendment. A resolution, by-Satt?rthwaite provid ing for the appointment of a joint house and senate committee to recom mend amendments to be submitted at the next election was killed. The orig inal Coleman constitutional conven tion resolution was turned in with an unfavorable report as was the Wilson resolution providing that any consti tutional changes made by a conven tion be submitted to the voters for ap proval. The Montee resolution pro viding for a constitutional amend ment changing the tax system was rec ommended favorably with an amend ment that an exemption of $200 be provided. Two new bills were introduced by the committee on mil-tary affairs. One provides that cities, towns and coun ties may assist national guard organ izations in maintaining buildings and the other provides that money be fur nished by the state for keeping up na tional guard organizations. :!!iiaitiii:agmiiHnis The proof of wanefluts is botK irsL -the eatin& and-tHe good Health. chat, follows Makes its own swe et ening requires no add ed sxigar.

Boats Victims of "Subs" on Only One Round Trip. Probably one of the most stormy trips made by an American convoy across the Atlantic during the war was participated in by Lieut. W. E. Laun don, 1619 Lincoln street, a Topeka na val officer who has returned home after receiving a release from active duty in the United States naval reserve forces. v Laundon's convoy, comprised of forty-two ships, lost three on the way to France and five on the return trip. One of the U-boats which at tacked the fleet while en route to France was fired on by the gun crew on the "Corozel, Lieutenant Laun don's ship, and one shot carried away the periscope. Altho lacking the proof remanded by the war depart ment when a plunger was sunk, Laun don believes the U-boat's career was promptly ended. Lieutenant Laundon enlisted in the navy September 30. 1917, as a fire man, third class. He transferred as a seaman and was sent to the pier at Great Lakes with a third class quar termaster's rating, later making a training cruise to southern waters and returning later to Pelham bay, where he obtained his commission as ensign February 18. From that time until Max 1 ne was attached to the person nel office in the Brooklyn navy yard. At that time he went aboard the trans port "Corozel," and shipped for Jack sonville, Fla.. for cargo and then went across. On the way to Jacksonville August 14 and 15 the transport picked up the crew of an American vessel sunk by German U-boats, which were then active off the American coast. Two wrecks of vessels were passed, but the 4Corozel" being armed was not attacked. Attack by Groups. Attacks made on Laundon's convoy on the way to and returning from France were made by groups of U boats. Altho they extracted a toll from the convoy, the attacked ships also played a warm tune for the un dersea assassins, ash cans and deck guns being the musical instruments used. Seven different attacks were made on the convoy on the way over. On the way back four U-boats attacked the convoy at night. In all, counting these attacks and others, the trip was interesting, Laundon thinks. Lieutenant Laundon spent several months on foreign service. His event ful trip, his only one across, consumed five months. He also spent two months on land duty in France. Part of this time he was located at Brest, the port of debarkation, which received considerable attention because of its alleged unsanitary condition. He as serts that conditions at Brest, so far as he could see. tho he made no in spection, are no worse than other foreign camps, tho it is not a second Great Lakes pier of Pelham bay. Lieutenant Laundon received his "half stripe" September 18, last year, as an award of efficiency. He will engage in the commission business in Topeka with Frank Cope, 220 Kansas avenue.

Allen. Is Is First Act of Importance Thru 1919 Legislature. The "anti-profiteering bill" signed today by Governor Allen, having passed thru both houses with little or no opposition, is the first law of major importance passed by the 1919 session of the Kansas legislature. It original ly was known as the Barrier bill, it having been introduced in the- house by Representative Barrier of Green wood county. The bill is modeled after similar laws in other states which have "taken the trusts into camp" by bestowing in quisitorial powers on the attorney general of far-reaching scope. One of the salient features of the bill is the so-called "immunity bath" pro vision. It is to the effect that "no person shall be excused from testifying in any proceeding under this act or in any action under any of the laws j referred to in section 1 of this act, on the grounds that his testimony may incriminate him; but no person shall be prosecuted or punished on account of any transaction or matter or thing concerning which he shall be compelled to testify, nor shall such testimony be used against him in any prosecution or any crime under the laws of this state." The bill is entitled. "An act relat ing to trusts, monopolies, unlawful combinations unlawful discrimina tions, unfair trade and unlawful deal ings, and authorizing and providing for and relating to the investigation thereof." May Conduct Investigations. It provides that when the attorney general shall have knowledge of the violation of any of the state iaws per taining to the foregoing list or the "unlawful buying, selling and dealing in commodities without the inten tion of delivering the same, he may for the purpose of investigating and inquiring into such Violations, issue his subpoena for such persons 'as he shall believe to have any information or knowledge of any such violation to appear before him at any time and place within the state of Kansas to testify Also, the law pro vides, such an inquisition may be started by the attorney general or his assistant by having subpoenas issued by a justice of the peace or judge. The subpoena may compel the witness to bring into court, papers, documents j ana dooks mat may oe cunsiuereu material; the testimony shall be taken under oath, and after a verbatim rec- ord is made, shall be signed by the i witness; anyone refusing to give testi- mony or who refuses to respond to the subpoena or refuses to sign his own testimony, shall be deemed guilty of a disdemeanor and shall be subject to a fino of not more than $300, or not to exceed ninety days in jail, or both. The attorney general may order the county attorney of any county to con duct an investigation under this law, in which instance the county attorney shall have the same powers as the attorney general. The witness fees and costs of serving such witnesses with subpoenas shall "be paid by the county in which such witness is sub poenaed." r h WILUSON HOMFbURNS Lives of Sleeping Family Saved by Warning From Pasa?rJby.

Then they stood shivering in an almost zero gale, watching their home burn up. Neighbors who were awakened by the turmoil took them in.

Miss Linna Bre sette, secretary of the industrial wel fare commission, directed the fight to herself when she challenged the crit icisms of the commission by Kansas employers. In fact Miss Bresette was offered by the labor forces as the hu man sacrifice which was to pay for the sins of the commission. Nearly 100 women attended the hearing in the supreme court cham bers. Many of these women and girls are shop, store and office employes most bf them personal friends of Miss Bresette. Some twenty or thirty Kan sas employers were also present. Rep resentatives of the Employers' Asso ciation urged a favorable recommen dation of the bill, which has for its purpose the creation of a state board which will give representation to the employer instead of leaving the mat ter entirely in the hands of the em ploye. Al F. Williams of Columbus pre sented the main case for the employ ers and friends of the bill. Williams was adroit and diplomatic. He be lieved the bill possessed merit and he wanted it passed. But he didn't in vite trouble or seek a victim. He proba bly knew Miss Bresette was loaded with a speech and he presented the argument for the bill without mentioning the secretary of the wel fare commission. Then Came the Shot. It ws the employers who scuttled the ship. They gathered some paving brick and started after Miss Bresette and her job. They jumped on her rulings with both feet. They said her commission was unfair, unjust and rendered arbitrary decisions. They said in short and in substance that neither Miss Bressette nor her asso ciates had given the employers a square deal nor had they displayed a tendency to reform. Then Miss Bresette came right back. If the 'bill is beaten it will be Miss Bresette who was aided by the thoughtless employers in smashing it. The welfare commission secretary reached down in the southwest corner of her handbag and fished out some letters from the employers. She read those letters to the commission. They said nice things about the commission and approved its rulings and antici pated general prosperity, peace and good will under the commission's reg ulations. K, Not Proper Recognition. It was admitted by opponents of the bill that the employers were given slight if any recognition under the present basis of representation. But several labor leaders declared the la bor department should be entirely in the hands of the worker and that the man who signs the checks should sim ply be told what to do and how to do it. Miss Bresette's talk occupied most of the- time assigned to opponents of the bill. Several labor representatives who followed her sought to inject fear that possibly the state might get a barkeeper or brewer on the commis sion as an employer and that the pur noses and. ambitions of prohibition would be trampled under foot. The bill now before the committee provides for a commission composed of a man identified with labor for a period of at least five years, an em ployer of labor and a. person who is a statistician and has not been identi fied with the interests of labor or the employers. The bill also provides for a welfare commissioner who has been actively engaged in industrial work. COUNTRY CLUB ELECTS W. X. West Named President for 1919 by Board of Directors.

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsifled cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or any thing else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every mem ber of the family for months. Adv. Too Fat? A guaranteed weight reduction method; safe, pleasant. Brings slender ness, better health and happiness. Get a small box of oil of koreln at the druggist's. Follow directions. Yu are allowed to eat sweets, etc.: no starvation or strenuous exercising. Your Jife becomes worth living with clearer mind, improved figure, buoy ant step, cheerfulness and optimism. Get thin and stay so. Adv. Famous Old Recipe for Cough Syrup Eaallr rhraptr mads mt boma, bat It hmm them all for .uiclt result. Thousands of housewives have found that they can save two-thirds of the money ucually spent for eoueh prep arations, by using this well-known old recipe for making couch syrup at home. It is simple and cheap but it really has no fqtml for prompt results. It takes right hold of a cough and gives immediate relief, nunlly stopping an ordinary cough in 21 hours or less. Get 2',-i ounces of Pinex from any druggist, pour it into a pint boftle, and add plain granulated sugar syrup to make a full pint. If tou prefer, use clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either way, it tastes pood, keeps perfectly, and lasts a family a long time. It's truly astonishing how quickly It acts, penetrating through every air passage of the throat and lungs loos ens and raises the phlegm, soothes and heals -the mfmbranes and gradually but surely the annoving throat tickls and dreaded eough disappear entirely. Nothing bitter for bronchitis, spasmo dic croup, whooping cough or bronchial asthma. Pinex is a special and highly concen trated compound of genuine Norway I tine extract, known the world over for ts healing effect on the membranes. Avoid disappointment Lv asking jour druggist for "2'4 ounces of Pinex" with full directions and don't accept anything else. Guaranteed to give absolute satisfaction or money promptly refunded.

Almost everyone knows that Saga Tea and Sulphur, properly compound- ed. brings back the natural color and luster to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make It at home, which s mussy and trouble some. Nowadays we simply ask at any druB store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul phur Compound." You will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe improted by the addition of other ingredients, at very little cost. Every body uses this preparation now. be cause no o.ie can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen at sponge or soft brush with it and draw this thiough your hair, taking, on small stiand at a time; by mcrning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger.

Sanitary science has of late mada rapid strides with results that are of untold blessing to humanity. The lat est application of its untiring research is the recommendation that it Is aa necessary to attend to internal janlta tlon of the drainage system of the hu-; man body as it is to the drains of thai house. Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise, splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom ach, can. instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stagnant matter. Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate In it to wash from the stom ach, liver and bowels the previous day's indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins: thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The millions of people who are both ered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness: others who have fallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of lime, "lone phosphate from the drtjg store. This will cort very little, but is suffi cient to make anyone a pronounced crsnk on the subject of Internal sani tation. Advettisement. i

TODAY'S BEAUTY HINT It is not necessary to shampoo your hair so frequently if it is entirely and properly cleansed each time by the use of a really good shampoo. The eapist to use and quickest drying shampoo that we can recommend to our readers is one that brings out all tlie natural beauty of the hair and may be enjoyed at very little expense, by dissolving a teaspoonful of can throx which can be obtained from any druggist, in a cup of hot water This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so ft 4seasy to -apiply itTtJblI the hair instead of just to the top of the" head. This, when rubbed into the scalp ind onto "every- strand of hair, chemically dissolves all impurities. It is very soothing and cooling in its ac tion, as well as beneficial to both scalp and hair. After rinsing out the lather so created, you will find the scalp is fresh, cl?an and free from, dandruff, while the hair dries quickly and even ly, developing a bright luster and a soit fluffinesa that makes it seem very heavy. -Adv.

Similar wiring would not be toler ated for five minutes within any build ing in. the city of Topeka. says the electrical inspector. It is his opinion that no insurance eompany could be induced to carry a "risk" on such a building with the electrical hazard so great.' The report or the electrical inspector i,iicate also that the bovs are locked up jn this fire trap at night ,nd i dormitory windows are narreo. At tne fire escapes they are locked with pad locks. A luxurious growth ot vines covers the windows and escape ap paratus. According to Martin, the state fire marshal is endeavoring to secure an appropriation for the re-wiring of the building. RUSSIA A MENACE McDermott Urges Fleets In stead of Treaties for Protection. Topeka n. Returned From Over seas, Before C. of C. Today. "Personally, I would very much rath er have the British fleet between me and the advancing legions of Russia than any contract that was or ever will be drawn." This was the statement made at the Chamber of Commerce this noon by Lieut. George McDermott, ofTopeka, who has just recently returned from duty overseas. He is now discharged from the service and is resuming his law practice in Topeka. When the statement was made Mc Dermott had been speaking of the pro posed league of nations, especially the disarmament clause. He asserted that in his opinion Germany knows she is whipped but does not know that she was in the wrnn; and is therefore un repentant and 1n the course of the next generation or two will again he a potential war-making natiou. Mc Dermott pointed to Russia as the one greai mt iih. lo lilt pcaie t 1 1 lrt th .mmN,,flu flltpp. Me showed how certain men with no pre vious experience In the wielding of power of any sort have seized and taken unto themselves a power un limited. And having abrogated this power to themselves, they can muster to their banners the untold resources of men and natural resources of one of tho. biggest nations on the globe. Advox-atc National Armies. Tt Is to meet this menace that Mc Dermott advocates the maintenance of national armies not for aggression but for the proper protection not only of the peace cW the individual coun tries but of the peace of the world. And in backing his statement with his experience and sensations McDermott said that "when I was on my way across I was a whole lot more satis fied and felt a lot safer with five or six British -destroyers plunging and whirling alongside- my transport than I would have been with" the best con tract ever written in front of me." McDermott pointed to the facts of broken treaties as a proof that con tracts treaties are not considered especially binding when nations wish to go to war. Germany violated her contract with Belgium; Italy violated her treaty with the central powers; the United States violated her treaty with .Belgium, when for three years she refused to come to the aid of the allies. Britain alone observed her treaty she went to the aid of Belgium at once tno possibly the reason may have Been that Britain knew the struggle was aimed at the very throat ot the empire. The "lieutenant stated that- In his opinion the greatest guarantee of the peace of the world will be the forming of firm national friendships based on mutual understanding and respect. He said that with such a feeling existing between nations there would not be need of any contract of any sort. In his speech McDermott touched on other subjects of lesser importance and ones which are not so much in the public eye at present as is the league of nations. At the Chamber of Commerce to morrow noon a special program has been arranged. The Washburn Glee club and orchestra have the noon hour in charge and promise to entertain the diners with plenty of music. DEATHS AND FUNERALS The funeral of T.

Washington, Feb. 25. Democratic leaders in the house want President Wilson to call an extra session of con gress within thirty days after the end of the nresent lessiiin March 4 J?f..PI.1f. "If .i" They will urge the president to take this action and lay before him their reasons for it at the first opportunity, Which will be when they visit the White House today or tomorrow. AVhile the house leaders do not be lieve thpt all the supply bills can be passed by both houses before noon on March 4, they will urge an early call of a new session on other grounds. The present situation with reference to the shipping program and necessity for outlining a permanent merchant marine policy will be one of the first arguments. Another will be the necessity fori permanent railroad legislation. Ini-! possibility of passing adequate army legislation in the week remaining of this session f will be one more reason advanced .for an early call of both houses. It will be pointed out to the president that this country will be left with only a handful of men after the proclamation of peace unless new laws are passed. The appropriations committee of the house has found it impossible to ap propriate for several special "emer gency" branches of the government because they are not permanently au thorize by statute. Some of these branches, house leaders' believed, should be continued for a year or more. House Democrats today predicted that the president would accede to their requests and call a special ses sion by May 15 at the latest. No final decision has yet been reached by the pre-STdent as to wheth er he will address a joint session of congress on the league of nations, Tumulty said Neither has he decided the question of a special session, desiring first to make a careful survey of what con gress has accomplished and what re mains undone. 15 DAYS TO REGISTER Ninety-Two Hundred Topckans Will Ixsc Vote If They Don't "SJgn l"p."

The suit would probably be filed in the name of the Rotary club, it was said this morning. .Fifteen persons representing the Rotary club, the Topeka Industrial council, the woman's committee of the council of defense and the Woman's club' called on the commissioners at the court house Monday -afternoon in an effort to prevail upon them to change their plans and build the home in the city. They accused the com missioners of having broken their promise; that the various civic or ganizations had put the bond issue across with the understanding that the home would be built in the city. Apparently, little impression was made on the members of the board. Robert Stone, principal spokesman for the delegates, expressed a conviction that the commissioners had no author ity to erect the new institution on the present farm and quoted several statutes in an effort to prove his con tention.

A voice, 'Vow bet') It warms my heart to see a prent body of my fellow citl7.eis nuin. because in some respects during the recent months I have been very lone ly Indeed without your comradeship and counsel and 1 tfted at every step of the work which fell to me to recall what l was sure would be your counsel with re-B-'ird to the preat matters which were under consideration. I do not want yon to think that I have not been appreciative of the extraordinar ily generous reception which was given to nie on the other side, in saying that it makes me very happy to get home again. I do-not mean to s;iy that I was not very deeply touched by the cries that came from the great crowds on the other side. Ittit I want to aav to you in all honesty that X felt them to be a call of greeting to you. rather than to me. (Greeting Not Personal One. "I did not feel that the greeting was per sonal. I had in my heart the overcrow u in g pride of being your representative and of receiving the plaudits of men everywhere who felt that vour hearts bent with theirs in the cause of liberty. There was no mis taking the tone In the voices of those great crowds. It was not a tone of mere greeting. It was not a tone of mere generous wel come; it was the calling of comrade to comrade, the cry that ccnies from men who say 'We have waited for this day when the friends of liberty should come across the sea and shake hands with us, to see that a new world was constructed upon a new basis and foundation of justice and right.' t can't tell you the inspiration that came frem the sentiments that came out of those simple voices in the crowd. "The proudest thing I think I have to re port to you is that this great country of ours is trusted thruont the world. "I have not come to report the proceed ings or the results of the proceedings of the peace conference; that would be prema ture. I can say that I have received very happy Impressions from this conference; the Impression that while there are many differences of judgment, while there are some divergencies of object, there is never theless a common spirit and a common realization of the necessity of setting up new standards of right in the world. lie cause the men who are In. conference rea lize as keen 1 y as any A uter ica n ca n rea -lize that they are not the masters of their people; that they are the servants of their people and that the spirit of their people has awakened to a new purpose and a new com-eptioti of their power to realize that purpose ami that no man dare go home from that onference and report anything less noble than was expected of it. "The conference seems to you to go slowlv: from day to day in Paris it seems to go" slowlv; but I wonder if you realize the complexity of the task which It has undertaken. It. seems as if the settlements of this war affect and affect directly every great and I sometimes tmnK, every small uation in the world, and no one decision can be made which is not properly linked in with the great series of other decisions which must accompany It. and it must be reckoned on with the final result, if the real Inequality and character of that re sult is to be properly judged. Hear the Whole Case. "What we are doing is to hear the whole case; hear it from the mouths of the men most interested; hear it from those who are officially commissioned to state it hear the rival claims: hear the claims that affect new nationalities, that affect new areas of the world, that affect new com mercial and economic connections that have been established by the great world war thru which we have gone. And I have been struck by the moderateness of those who have represented national claims. I can testify that I believe I have nowhere seen the gleam of passion. "I have seen earnestness. I have seen tears coma to the eyes of men who pleaded for downtrodden peoples whom they were privileged to speak for; but they were not the tears of inger; tney were the tears of ardent hope. How- Can Man Fail. "I don't' see how any man can fail to have been subdued by these pleas, sub dued to this feling. that he was not there to assert an individual judgment of his own. but to try to assist the cause of hu manity. "And in the midst of it all every In terest seeks out. first of all. when it reaches Paris, the reports of the United States. Why? Itccause? and I think I am stating the most wonderful fact in his tory because there is no nation In Kurope that suspects the motives of the United States. "Was there ever s, wonderful a thing seen before" Was there ever so moving a thing? Was there ever any fact that so hound the nation that had won that esteem for ever to deserve it? i "I would not have you understand that the great men who represent the other na tions there in conference are disesteemed by those who know them. Quite the con trary. Hut you understand the countries of Kurope have again r.nd again clashed with one another in competitive interests. Impossible to Forget. "It is impossible for men to forget the sha rp issues that were d rnwn between them In times past. It Is impossible for men to believe that all ambitions have all j of a sudden been foregone. They reinein 1 her territory that was coveted they re j member rights that it was attempted to I extort; they remember political ambitions which it was attempted to realize and. 1 while they believe that men have come into a different temper, they cannot forget these things and so they do not resort to one another for a dispassionate view of the matters in controversy. Ask for American Soldiers. 'They resort to that nation which has won the enviable distinction of being re garded as the frienil of mankind. "Whenever it is desired to send a small force of soldiers to occupy a piece of terri tory where it is thought nobody else will be welcome, they :sk for American soldiers. And where other soldiers would be looked upon with suspicion, and perhaps met with resistance, the American soldier is wel comed with acclaim. I have had s0 mnnv grounds for pride on the other side of the water that I nm very thankful that they ore not grounds for personal pride. I'd be the most stuck up man in the world. And it has beeu no infinite pleasure to me to see those galhnit soldiers of" ours, of whom the constitution of the United States made me the proud commander. You may be proud of the tweutv-sixth divisiou.but I commanded the twenty-sixth division and see what they did under my direction. And everybody praises the American soldier with the feeling that in praising hliu he is subtracting from the credit of uo one else "I have been searching for the funda mental fact that couverted Kurope to be lieve in ua. Before this war Kurope did not believe in us as she dues now. She did not believe in us thruout the first three years of the war. She seems really to have believed that we were holding off because we thought we eon hi muke more by staying out than by going in. And all of sudden in u short eighteen months the whole verdict is reversed. -There can be but one explanation for it. They saw what we did that without making a single claim we put all our men ami all our means at the disposal f thos: who were fighting for their Homes, m tne iirst in stance, but for a cause, the cause of hu man rights and justice, and that we went in not to support their national claims but to support the great cause which tiiey held in common. "And when they saw that America, not only held ideals but acted ideals, they were on verted to America and became firm partisans of those ideals. "I met a group of scholars when I was in Paris some gentlemen from one of the (ireek universities who had come to see me and in whose presence, or rather in the presence of those traditions of learning. I felt very young indeed. I told them that I had one "of the delightful revetjges that sometimes comes to a man. "All my life I have heard men speak with a sort of condescension of Ideals and of Idealists and particularly those sep arated endoistered persons whom they chose to term academic who were in the habit of uttering ideals in the free at mosphere when they clash with nobody In particular. And I said I have had this sweet revenge. Speaking with perfect frankness in the i?uuie of the people of the United states. "I have uttered as the objects of this great war Ideals and nothing but ideals and the war has been won by that in spiration. Mn were fighting with tense muscles and lowered head until they came to realize those tilings, feeling they were fighting for their lives and their country and when these accents of what it was all about reached them from America they lifted their heads, they raised their eyes to heaven when they saw men in khaki com ing across the sea In the spirit of crusaders and they found that these v.ere strange men, reckless of danger not only but reck less because they seemed to see something tnat made tnat danger worth wmie. Not J,tk Others. "Men have testified to me in Europe that our men wc re possessed by some thing that they could only call a religious fervor. They were not like any of the other soldiers. They had a Vision, they had a dream, and they were fighting In the dream and fichtinir in the dream the turned the whole tide of battle and U never came hack. One of our American humorists meet ing the criticism that American soldiers were not trained long enough said. "It takes only half as loner to train an Ameri can soldier as any other, because you only have to train him one way and he did only go one way and be never came oacK untu ue couiu uo it wnen ne pienseuv Imposes Burden. And now do you realize that this con fldence we have established thruout the world Imposes a burden upon us if you choose to call It a burden. It is one of those burdens which any nation ought to be-proud to carry. Any man who resists the present tides that run in the world will find himself thrown upon a shore bo high and barren that it will seem as if he had been separated from his human kind for ever. "The Kurope that I left the other day was full of something that it had never felt fill its heart so full before. It was full of hope. The Europe of the second year of the war, the Kurope of the third year of the war was sinking to a sort of stubborn desperation. They did not see any great thing to be achieved even when the war should be won. They hoped there would be some salvage they hoped that they could clar their territories of invad ing armies; they hoped they could set up their homes and start their industries afresh. Put they thought it would simply be the resumption of the old life that Kurope had led led in fear, led in anxiety, led in constant suspicious wathchfulness. They never dreamed it would be a Kurope of settled peace and justified hope. "And now these ideals have wrought this new magic, that nil the peoples of Kurope are buoyed up and confident In the spirit of hope, because they believe that we are at the eve of a new age in the world when nations will understand one another, when nations will support one another in every just cause, when nations will unite every moral and every physical strength to see that the right shall prevail. America Must Not Fail. "If America were at this junction to fail the world, what would come of it? I do not mean any disrespect to any other great people when I say that America Is the hope of the world and If she does not justify that hopa the results are unthink able. Men will be thrown back upon bit terness of disappointment not only but the bitterness of despair. All nations will be set up as hostile camps again; the iren at the peace conference will go home with their heads upon their breasts knowing that they have failed for they were biddeu not to come home from there until they did something more than sign a treaty of pence. "Suppose we sign the treaty of peace and that it is the most satisfactory trentv t of pence that the confnsine elements of the modern world will afford and go home "We Want Candy Cascarets" Risolvtd: That when our tongues turn white, breath feverish, stomach sour and bowels consti pated, that our mothers give us Cascarets, the nice candy cathartic, and not nasty castor oil, mineral oil, calomel or pills. Cascarets "work" without griping and never hurt us kids. Cost only 10 cents. 5f KID'S 1 7YT INDIGNATION I MEETING )j TO MOTHERS Learn to give harmless Cascarets to your cross, sick, bilious, constipated pets and save coaxing, worry and money. Children love this candy cathartic. Nothing else cleanses the little liver and bowels so effectively. Each 10 cent box of Cascarets contains directions for dosage for children aged one year old and upwards. and think t.bout our labors; we will know! that we have left written npon the historic tablet at Versailles, upon which Vergennes and llenjamin Fnnkliu wrote their names, nothing but a modern scrap of paper; no nations united to defend it. no great forces combined to make it good, no assurance given to the down -troddeix and fearfui peo ple of the world that they-, shall be safe. Any man who thinks thatr America will take part in giving the world any such re buff and disappointment as that does not know America. Not Only to America, "I Invite him to test the sentiments of the nation. We set this up to make men free, and we did not confine our concep tion and purpose to America, and now we will make men free. If we did not do that the fame of America would be gone and all her powers would be dissipated. She then would havp to keep her power for those narrow, selfish provincial pur poses which aeem so dear to some minds that liave no sweep beyond the nearest horizon. I should welcome no sweeter challenge than that. I have fighting blood in me and it is sometimes a deHght to let it have scoie. but if It is a challenge on this occasion it will be an indulgence. Think of the picture, think of the utter blackness that would fall on the world. America has failed. America made a little essay at generosity nnd then withdrew. "America said. 'We are your friends, but it was only for today, not for to morrow. America said, 'Here is our power to vindicate right,' then the next day said. Let right take care of itself and we will take care of ourselves. "America said. We set mi a lien to lead men along the paths of liberty, but we have lowered it. It is intended only to ugni our own patn.' Set l"p a Great Ideal. 'We set tin a erreat ideal of liberty and then we said, 'Liberty is n thing that you must win for yourself. Io not call upon us.' And think of the world that we would leave. Do you realise how many new na tions are croinir to be set tui in the presence of old and powerful nations in Kurope and lert mere. ir iett by us, witnout a disin terested friend? "Io you believe In the Polish cause, as I do? Are you going to set up Poland, im mature, inexperienced, as yet unorganized, and leave her with a circle of armies around her? ro yon believe In the aspira tion of the Czeebo-slovaks and the Jugo slavs, as I do? Do you know how many powers would be quick to pounce upon them if there were not the guarantees of the world behind their liberty? Have you thought or the surtering or Armenia? You poured out your money to help succor the Armenians after thev suf fered; now set your strength so that they snail never sutler again. Fell on the Homes. 'The arrangements of the present peace cannot stand a generation unless they are! guaranteen ty the unite! forces of the civilized world. And if we do not guar antee them, cannot, you see the picture? Your hearts have instructed 5""" where the burden of this war fell. It did not fall upon the national treasuries, it did not fall upon the Instruments of administration. It did not fall upon the resources of the nations. It fell upon victims homes every where, where women were toiling in hope that their men would come back. "When I think oft the homes upon which dull despair would settle were this great hope disappointed. I should wish for my part uever to have had America play any part whatever in this attemnt to emanci pate the world. Hut I talk as if there were any question. I have no more doubt of the verdict of America in this matter than I have doubt of the blood that is In me. To Report Progress. "And so. my fellow citizens, I have come back to report progress, and I do not be lieve that the progress is gofng to Rtop short of the goal. The nations of the world have set their heads now to do a great thing, and they are not going to slacken their purpose. And when I speak of the nations of the wo-ld I do not speak of the governments of the world. "I speak of peoples who constitute the nations of the world. They are in the sad dle nnd they are going to see to it that if their present governments do not do their will, some other government shall. And tne secret is out and the present gov ernments know it. Harmony- and Knowledge. "There is a great deal of harmony to be got out of common knowledee. Ther is a great deal of sympathy to be got out of living in the same atmosphere and except ior me umerences in language which puz zled my American ear very sadly I could have believed I was at home In France or in Italy or in England whea I was on the streets, when I was in presence of the crowuH. wnen i was in great nails where men were gathered together irrespective of class. I did not feel quite as much as home as I do here, but I felt that now, at any rate after this storm of war clouds had cleared the air. men were seeing eye to eye everywhere and that these were the kind of folks who would understand what the kind of folks at home would under stand that they were thinking tire same things. I feel about you ns I am reminded of a story of that excellent wit and good artist, Oliver Herford. who. one day, sit ting at luncheon at his club, was slapped vigorously on the back bv a man whom he did not know verv well. He said 'Oliver, old boy, how are you? He looked at him rather coldly. He said: "I don't know your name. 1 don't know your face, but your manners are very familiar.' "And I must say that your manners are very familiar and, Jet me add, very delight ful. A Compound Fraction. "It is a great comfort for one thing to realize that you all understand the lan guage I am speaking. A friend of mine said that to talk thru an interpreter was like witnessing the compound fraction of an Idea. Put the beauty of it is that whatever the impediments of the channel of communication, the idea is the same that it gets registered, nnd it gets regis tered In responsive hearts and receptive purposes. "I have come back for a strenuous at tempt to transact business for a little while in America, but I have really come back to say to you in all soberness nnd honesty that I have been trying my best to speak your thoughts. "When I sample myself I think I find that 1 nm a typical American and if I sample deep enough and get down to what is probably the true stuff of a man, then I have hope that it is part of the stuff that is like the other fellows at home. And, therefore, probing deep into my heart and trying to see the things that are writ with out regard to the things that may be de bated us expedient I feel that I am in terpreting the purpose and the thought of America and in loving America I find I have joined the great majority of my fel low men thruout the world.' PADEREWSKI WANTS OUT Ignaoo Jan Would Quit His Post as Premrer or Poland. Warsaw, Feb. 25. The president of the Polish diet announced today that Premier Paderewski offered his resig nation Monday but that General Pil sudski had begged him to remain in office. Paderewski and Pilsudski were rivals for control of the Polish government. A com promise was finally effected with the for mer as premier and the latter as military chief. Pilsudski recently resigned, but was given a vote f confidence by the diet. It is accepted that Paderewskl's resignation was a similar formality, to compel public recognition of his appointment.
