He said th small consumer was the flat or apart ment dweller with a wife and a poodle dog or canary. Doherty also told the commission that when natural gas went above HO cents, it would take a real balloon as cension. He said increased coat meant curtailed consumption. Under such conditions, he said, greater economy would follow. He said rates would go to fl or even 11.60 a thousand cuble feet. He denied, tho. that such raises would mean greater community en pence. AppIiaiMT-M Out of Iuto. The gas corporation head also took a shot at the ancient gas appliance used in Kansas and a number of mid west states. "Some of the gas appli ances out here are simply atrocious," Doherty said in a statement before th commission. Doherty came to Tope ka with gak company heads and rep resentatives of a number of towns served by the Wichita Natural. The hea$ng before the commission today Is on the establishment of rates to consumers and possible adoption of the "three way" ga rate. The new rate has its basis on a proposed $6 a, year customer's charge. Interest In the early testimony In the gas hearing centered almost en tirely in the statement which Doherty made to th state commission. His statement that the day laborer and working man is not the average small consumer, clearly aroused the Interest of commission members. They aimed innt dMn:ind may be made foi- Have Made Careful Survey. The Doherty claim was made In answer a demand by H. C. Bowman or .-sewion, ror a removal of the ready to serve charge. He said the averao worktr.g man is a small consumer tmTV would pay a higher pi opoi tlon.its rate than tne merchant, pi oressional nd large user of gas. "We have made a careful survey of gas users in eastern titles as well as ill ci.ies in this section of h iJoherty told the commission. "Th. pciHon who really economises on tils use gas is the apartment dweller with a wife ana a poodle dog; or ca nary. The avciaee winking- man uses gas much more treely than dues the liat or apartment dweller." What is our rate in Newton?" ask'-d W. 1.. Hoggins of the commit, sion. as he questioned Howman. "Twenty-seven cents." "I'nusually low when considered in connection with an so cent rate ln Topeka and other cities, is It not?" "Yes; I have told our people all along- we would have higher rates. I believe the average working man in Newton pays about Hi cents a month for gas."

On the eve of Whatever jou may need for the Huhj Know the Quality The be.t 1. the cheapest In the Ions run. Geo. W Stansfield, Druggist fl.13 Kansas Ave. President Wilson's departure to urge upon the country unqualified ratifica tion of the peace treaty. Senator Hitchcock, his chief spokesman In the senate, was prepared today to begin the fight there against amendment of the pact. In a speech bristling with condem nation of senators who have been lead ing the fight for amendments in the foreign relations committee and out of it. Hitchcock plans today to carry the fight to the enemy. Greater latitude in attacking the treaty's foes is possible to administra tion speakers in the senate than Presi dent Wilson will feel like taking on his tour. Hitchcock, for Instance, can and will name Knox. Lodge and others and quote from their speeches, in an effort to show that their position Is Insincere, out of line with their past utterances, and entirely out of har mony with the spirit of the times and th nation. Hitchcock and other administration senators are preparing to hack up the president by ruf utralltlng so far ns pos sible the arguments opposition sena tors will make in reply to the presi dent's speeches. Indications today were that Presi dent Wilson will depart with the treaty still In committee. One of the chief reasons for this, members said today, is the quandary some members are in over Senntnr Fall's amendment to strike out the labor section, s In view of Samuel C.ompers's state ment that this section was written by labor men for labor and denying Fall s Claim that it will lower American la bor standards, some committee mem bers feel thnt if they support Fall's amendment they will give President Wilson a powerful weapon against them which he would use effectively ..n his trip In speaking to the coun try's workers. On the other hand, the opposition to the section has not been killed by C.ompers's statement. If the statement is perplexed by this, the anti-treaty members feel they have the treaty's supporters In a cor ner on the Johnson amerdment to equalize the I'nlted States vote In the lengne of nntions assembly with those of Oreat Britain. Treaty opponents helleve public opinion can "be culti vated to prevent senators from voting to (five Oreat Britain more voles than America. They profess to see In this possibility one of their strongest weapons. SCRATCHED AT DOORS Westmoreland Man FMghteoed Whole Topeka Neighborhood.

He predicted greater economy among users in the future and said that ancient appliance: must be discarded. "'Consumers could practice enough economy to permit the increase of rates tQ two and one-half present prices in a number of towns without increased cost to the community," said Doherty. "Modern appliances must be used to secure greatest gas economy. Some of the gas appliances out here are simply atrocious." Prediction was made that economy appliances would aid in gas sales and bring new business to gas companies. "No effort has ever been made to sell gas," said Doherty. "I say re luctantly that none of the companies have taken care of their communi ties In the past. I believe, tho. we can nrlng consumption to a higher point than ever before known."

EDDY GOMES HERE Fair Visitors To Have Pipe Or gan Treat In Topeka. Free Recitals at Auditorium Sunday Evening. Fair visitors as well as Topekans have a treat In store next Sunday eve ning' when Clarence Eddy appears in a free recital on the pipe organ at the city auditorum. The organ, which cost the city $12. 000 fifteen years ago, was at its in stallation one of the fines west of Chicago. Of late on account of in adequate or obsolete wind supply machinery, the organ has not been in shape s? that a demonstration of its Clarence Eddy. latent powers could be brought out. It has during the summer been equip ped with the most modern wind sup ply a ten-horse power Kenetic blow er, which gives a quiet, steady and abundant power and in addition adds greatly to the flexibility and speech of the instrument. Equipped, as it now is, the organ would cost the city today about thirty thousand dollars. The great composer, Sg;ambati, said of Mr. Eddy, "He Is gne of the great est organists of the age." And Topeka may with complacency as a prelude to the Free Fair add a Free Recital upon her own municipal organ by an artist of Mr. Eddy s versatility and powers. The program will appeal to the technical. including some of the classics by Bonnet, Elert and Eossi, and as well to the plain plug music lover, having a plenty of American composition, some of which has been dedicated to Mr. Eddy. Mr. Eddy, who has been In Chicago during the season giving a series of sunyner night concerts, is returning to his home in Oakland, Cal., and the committee were fortunate in getting him to stop at Topeka en route.

Doubt was expressed by hign officials here today as to whether tnia government will be in position to take any action again-: Mexico, if it is found that Capt. D. W. McNabb, an aviator, shut yesterday, was flying over Mexican soil. Unofficial dispatches from Laredo state Mexican officials declare thai is the case. While there Is no International law governing Hying, it was the custom in European countries prior to the out break of the war to fire upon foreign aviators who crossed international boundaries without permission. Thiy was due to a constant fear of spies. Altho having this precedent before them, officials pointed-out that the case between Mexico and this country might be regarded differently becaus forces of both governments are in search of bandits.

Hsskln, Director, Washing ton, ti. It cannot be denied that there exists all over the United States a degree of uneasiness regarding: the outcome of. the pn sent unsettled state of the rela tions between labor and the business of the country. Nobody la able to foresee exactly how It all Is to come out. But whatever happens. It may safely be taken for granted that everything will be adjusted In a manner to serve the best Interests of the whole people. No one class of citisens can gain and hold permanently an advantage over sll other classes of citlxens. This ap plies both to laborer and to em ployers of labor. Condition uch as exist in many countries of Europe can not be brought about in thla country, principally because we are a nation of home owners. The Idea of indi vidual ownership Is so firmly implant ed in the public mind that a soviet aystem Ilka that embodied In the l'lumb plan la unlikely to gain a foot hold in this country. It would be too far reaching in Its consequences. According to reports on business ac tivity It has become to easy to sell goods that the old time "drummer" seems likely to find himself out of a Job. Attorney tleneral Palmer has aaked congress for $1,200,000 to be used In the campaign to reduce the high cost of living. He also asks for $100,000 extra for the enforcement of prohibi tion ami the employment of additional iiHsistanta. The department of com merce wants $410,000 to help It guar antee full weight In the sale of com modities, ami the department of la bor wants $i75.oon for 200 more clerks. They have become so accus tomed at Washington durlns war times to denl In millions and billions Hint when It comes to hundredg of thousands they ore regarded a hardly corth notice. A government official recently haa declared that the peo ple ara In league with the profiteers. r the average cltlien It looks more like It 1 the government that la In Irague with the profiteers. rh. i-tmh ,,hn mlr-ht more ore- erly be termed the plum plan. Is It M spparent that the railroad workers r ould get all the fruit? Now It is said that Colonel House i the man who stands between Burle stra and the blue envelope. The) post msster general haa wrecked the postal ervice but he is credited with having built up a mngnlflcent political ma chine and the latter service seem to be what he I there for. A production Increases and the cupply of goods grows larger, prices will drop and lea money will b re quired to do business. The Inflation of the currency thus will take car of Itself. When money Is not needed It will retire. There are those who believe that there will never be another world war but they are likely to find that they are mistaken unless the League of Na tion covenant hall be adopted. The materials for another bonfire already are In existence and It will break out in Asia with the probability that It will Involve aa many nations aa did the European conflagration. We must not entertain the delusion that America can keep out of it b'y refusing to be come a party to the league. The league affords the only chance of es cape from an Asiatic war. The country has been afflicted with an epidemic of strike which unques tionably impede production. A large volume of trade I being done In the immense territory iserved by the Chi cago market, says a bulletin Issued by the National City bank of that city, but labor trouble have caused no little anxiety concerning the ability of producers and manufacturer to supply the constantly growing Eu- for American pro- ducts. The unr rest of labor is virtually world-wide, but there seems to be less reason for this In the United States than anywhere else In the world. The official figures show that In the eleven years from 1908, the annual wages of the steel worker in this country has increased from $7 28 to 1,350. a gain of ICO per cent, while the, pay of the railroad worker has been raised In the sama interval from 1721 a year to $1,505. a sain of 110 per cent. Such an increase seems to be sufficient to cover the upward trend In living expenses which both federal and state authorities ara striv ing to combat. THE POLICEMEN'S VNION. Announcement la made that the members of Topeka's police force have I organized a union. 1 Tbe life of a policeman Is not s bappy have not changed greatly since Gilbert and Sullivan wrote the tuneful opera. If, therefore, the officer on the beat can add Joy and sunshine to his daily routine by following the prevailing fashion and uniting with his fellow coppers In an organization of this sort, the public will not grudge him what he may get out of It. But probably it will be conceded without discuasion that the, duties and obllgationa of a policeman differ greatly from those of the ordinary toiler. He is not an employe, in the accepted sense, but an officer of the state, and to him the people look for an impartial enforcement of the laws under the direction of his superior of ficers. He receives his appointment to the force for reasons peculiar to the service. He is not discriminated against by reasons of previous occu pation. He is chosen for hla physical and mental fitness to perform such tasks as may be assigned to him. Once admitted to the force he is obliged to obey the rules and regula tions that may be prescribed for the proper administration of the depart ment. He l-entltled to receive fair and reasonable compensation for his services. If he be not satisfied with his treatment he may resign and seek employment that may be more con genial and pay him better. No obligation imposed by the state or municipality attends his Joining the force, and no restriction is placed on his leaving it. He must be, by the very nature of his position, an absolutely free agent in the enforcement of law, and this he cannot be if he identifies himself either with a labor organiza tion or with an organization of em ployer. In the event of a strike that is car ried to excess, at strikes sometimes are. It Is not for him to take sides either for or against the strikers, but to uphold law and order and accord the public the fullest possible measure of protection. He cannot serve two masters; he cannot serve the state and all It people, and at the same time serve the Interests of any labor organisation. Lo the poor packer. First he was blamed because price were high. A soon as prices began to decline he was blamed for that. Flrat he was ac cused of buying up the stockmen; now he is accused of frightening them into doing hi bidding. Senator Kenyon and Capper should get together, com pare notes and see If they cannot reach an agreement. Tbe public would like to know whether the stock men were bought or scared. THE CUMMINS BILL. The Cummin bill providing for the return of the railroads to their own ers and the subsequent operation thereof may have and probably has good points, but the caaual reader is almost certain to obtain the Impres sion that the machinery is too com- I 1 .4 T i t,a

I mount P- vlously unequaled In the administra tion of public affairs, besides clashes of authority and litigation world with out end. One feature of the bill that Is cal culated to meet with strong opposition Is th conferring of added power upon the interstate commerce commis sion. Th public has not forgotten that It was the I. C. C. that brought the railroad to a condition which rendered It necessary for the govern men to assume their operation. By the terms of the bill, all author ity over th roads not given to the I. C. C. I handed over to other boards and commissions and nothing 1 left to th owner of th property except to carry on th business aa they are directed. Th bill provision limiting th amount of dividends that may be earned and paid seems to be unneces sary. The I. C. C. can be depended upon to see that there shall be no ex cessive returns. Th clause which provide that employe shall receive one-half of all earnings over a fair dividend is wholly superfluous and probably was Intended aa a sop to advocates of the riumb plan. If permitted to choose between the Cummin plan as It stands and th Plumb plan owners of the roads prob ably would prefer the latter, under which the fovernment would pay them for their property and let them go. They will hardly feel like continuing to operate the roads under handicap which ar more burdensome than those which now prevail and which prevent them from making Improve ments or extensions without asking somebody' permission. The Cummins bill contains more politics to the square inch than any measure which has been offered to congress in a long Urn. TOPEKA STATES JOURNAL INFORMATION BUREAU PTUEDEIUC 1- nasrSTTW Washington. XX C PAY ONLY ELEVEN CENTS FOR SVGAR. Washington, D. C- Aug. 31. The j dealer who eek to profiteer In sugar la showing poor judgment. In the case of almost any other commodity, it is a question just what is a fair price and what constitutes profiteering. But. altho most people do not seem to realize It, sugar Is still being sold under the war-time regulations made by the food administration, and rigor ously enforced by that organization during the war. The food administration is now a mer whispering shadow of its former self, but this sugar agreement remains as a monument to its days of glory, and makes it easy for the department of justice to get the man who seeks to gouge the public on susrar nrices. Three wholesale dealers have recently been arrested, and one Jobber has had his Hcenae revoked, for charging ex cessive prices for sugar. "Our desire is to secure a fair prlc to the consumer." said Attorney Gen eral Palmer In announcing a rigorous enforcement of sugar regulations. "Wo do not wish to pursue a whole sale policy of recommending cancel lation of licenses. Wher trade ad Justs Itself to a fair price for the fu ture, past violations, unless flagrant, will not ordinarily be made the basis of a recommendation by this depart ment for the cancellation of th licenses." Any housewife who pays more than 11 cents a pound for sugar Is over charged, according to the food admin. Istration. The producers and refiners are getting the same price for sugar today that they received during tha war. That price is to continue in ef fect for the remainder of the yesr by agreement between the refiner and the government. If more than 11 cents Is charged the consumer, profiteering 1 going on. and the gov ernment agents will take summary action against the profiteer. Heports have reached the food ad ministration that retailers have bean getting as high as 18 cents a pound for sugar in Chicago. Many cities report that the retailers are charging 14 and 15 cents, while right her in Washing ton, under the very nos of the food administration, grocers ara charging as high as 13 cents. There is positively no Justification for an Increase In the price of sugar at this time. Last October, the sugar equalisation board, which Is a part of the food administration, purchased the entire domestic and Cuban crops of raw sugar. The Cuban crop alone 1 estimated at more than four million tons. One-third of this crop was allotted to Great Britain. There re mains about one million tons of the American portion of th Cuban crop, and this Is now available for distribu tion In this country Just a fast as it can be shipped and refined. Th equalisation board sells raw sugar to refiners at 7.28 cents a pound. Refiners aro under contract with the board not to charge more than cents to the wholesalers. The latter are allowed a maximum margin of profit of 8 cent per 100 pounds for handling, wbll th retailers are permitted to make a profit of 1H cents a pound, making fair price of 11 rents to-the consumer. Every surar dealer In the country binds himself to live up to the price arrangement made by the food ad ministration, when he takes out a li cense to deal In sugar. This license can be revoked at any time ty the food administration for the violation of anv of the conditions of sale and distribution. Food Administrator Hoover's large organization has been reduced to A skeleton, and because of the lack of agents to see that the regulations are lived up to, many dealers have been able to do a little cheating. When there was a scarcity of sugar reported in certain parts of tbe coun try a few- months ago. the Jobbers Im mediately took advantage of this situ ation to boost the price. This was in direct violation of the terms of their agreement. But it Is certain that the price of sugar would have been even higher In this country If it had not been under government con trol all thru the war. While, there la an obvious scarcity of sugar In this country, the sweet tooth which endured such grest hard ships nnd privations last winter, being compelled to use one teaspoon ful of sugar In the morning cup of coffee In stead of two. need not be unduly alarmed. Government agents, who are In touch with the sugar situa tion, are convinced thst there Is enough sugar to supply the demands until the next crop is harvested. Congressman Martin, of Louisiana, the leading sugar producing state In the Union, attributes the scarcity of sugar to three factors: The sudden demand made for sugar by the fruit canneries snd confectionery factories; the limited capacity of the twenty-two sugar refiners in this country, and the strike of the marine union of New York City, which held Cuban and Torto Rlcan sugar carriers at Atlantic and Gulf ports for three weeks. Almost every other nation is suffer- rig from the scarcity of sugar mucn more than In the U'nlted States. Aside from that which the ITnited States and Great Britain control by purchase of the entire Cuban crop, there la but a small surplus of sugar in other foreign countries. And where a sur plus doe exist, exorbitant prices are being demanded. That sugar is higher !n other coun tries than It is In America was indi cated In a recent report received from French food officials to the effect that France Is now facing a serious sugar shortage. The French are seek ing an American supply. ut a recent embargo placed on the exportation of sugar from this country will prevent France from getting a supply from us. Sugar is said to be available In Cze-cho-Slovakla, but the Cxechs are ask ing cent a pound and getting it. According to Congressman Martin, there Is no question but that the world is now short of sugar and has been short all of the present year.

CHAPTER XXXIII. The play was delightful, and as we drove home I snuggled close to Everett and told him how much I had enjoyed my birthday, and how chappy I had been. "In Just a year I will be 1," I said as we neared home. "I wonder If I will have a nice a birthday then." Everett threw hi head back and laughed so heartily I laughed with him. "I never saw any on co anxious to be old as you are.'1 he said, still smil ing. Then soberly, "I don't Ilk th way you keep thinking of that subject. Be thankful that you are young." I waa glad we were at home. I sort of knew that he had my foolish speech I had made at Mr. Garry's dinner party In his mind. Hs had spoken of It several times, always sneeringly. He seemed to think that I only wanted to be old to be interesting and attractive to men. It wasn't so a bit. but he got cross every time he said anything about It. "I must laarn not to say such thing." I thought, "even If I fed them. We had another piece of my birth day cak before we went to bed. And he waa (till ao kind that I felt really more like his wife than I ever had done, and less like a naughty little girl. I wrote mother another letter in the morning telling her of my birthday cake, and of how prettily Mrs. Gray had trimmed the table for me. Moth er was terribly Interested In my home, snd in Mrs. Gray. She had said she thought me wonderfully fortunate to have a woman of experience as a housekeeper. I wanted mother to feel comfortable about me. Tou see she had objected to my marrying ao old a man, so I wrot her everything nice that happened, and kept the other things to myself. The next day a thought came to me that made me so excited I could scarcely wait until I told some one. It was to have Rose Grandon and Bar rett Edmonds marry. Then I could have Rose near me, and Barrett too. It would be an Ideal arrangement. It would soon be spring. Everett said I might have Rose during the summer for a visit. I would introduce her to Barrett right away, and perhaps they would get married In the fall. Rose would be most nineteen then. And she would be thru school. She fin ished In June. I ran npstalrs and found the very prettiest picture I had of Rose, or dered the car, and took it down to be framed. I would have nothing but one of the handsome new standing frames. I would put the picture on the piano, then when Barrett Edmonds came to try some more music he would see It and most likely ask who It was. I would tell him how lovely Rose was and praise her to the skies. She was my best friend, even if we did quarrel a little because I was going to marry a man older than I was. And when Rose saw my lovely home, and are still Intact and the best available information Is that she will have some sugar for export the coming season.

At first I thought I would tell Ev erett. Then I decided to keep it to myself. It should be my secret, I would tell no one, not even mother. But before that day ended I had in my thoughts, already married Rose and Barrett, had them buy the house next to us, and had arranged every thing for their future. Father's often quoted: "Man pro poses, but God disposes," never once occurred to me. I could see no weak point In my plan. Of course Barrett and Rose would fall in love with each other as soon as they met. Barrett was handsome and fascinating and Rose was so sweet and lovely. It was too bad she did not sing. She used to say she 'croaked like a frog when she attempted to sing,' but she could play nicely, so would play his ae companlmenta for him. I was in a fever of impatience un til my picture was sent home. Sup pose Barrett should call again before it came It would be so much time wasted. He couldn't fall in love with a girl if he never had seen even a picture of her. Of course I showed It to Everett when it came. He would have to see it on the piano anyway. He admired it Immensely, also my taste in the selection of a frame. He was so very nice about It, not scolding me a bit when I told him what I had paid, that, town broker's offices turned th poa I was tempted to tell him how Rose siblllty over once.

I placed the picture in the most at tractive way. then waited for Barrett to appear and fall in love with the original. But It was over two week before he came again, then h brought Dagmar Stewart with him. She was the one who called his attention to Hose's picture, and she was the one who said she was a "lovely girl." Barrett never said a word. rerhaps he thought he wouldn'r eeause he had brought Dagmar. I thought after they had gone. But I was disappointed. Now I should have to wait until he came again. Yet he might have taken more notice than he appeared to; he might have been too careful of Dagmar'e feelings to praise another girl before her. (Tomorrow Sandra hears of the first Mrs. Graham.)

"I'm hot-blooded enough Just now." he answered, smiling faintly down into the petal-like, uplifted face. "Betsy, how can I ever, ever give you up?" Fain and longing were in hia voice. She looked up at his worried, hun gry eyes, and the rose deepened In her cheeks. Mischief waa in her glance ana meaning. "Do you have to?" she questioned He started as he caught her mean ing, and she felt his firm shoulder quiver. "You mean?" he asked, hops, doubt, and love mingled In his eyes. "Why. my dear, I do not Intend to let my mother's prejudice come be tween me and you; so I say, 'Let' pack up an' git!' He eprang to his feet, and caught her to him In a bearish hug. "And I can't!

As for me, I am willing to give myself to you and your care: and If you don't take me grab me now you have a chance I'll begin to believe you are something of a coward!" It was a challenge. Then minutes later Elder was on his way to make the arrangements, and she was saun tering serenely Into the library, where her mother sat reading, and where her father came a moment later.

Betsy said, amll ing. "Mother, do you agree?" "Well. I have always thought he was lacking in stamina," her mother answered. Betsey went out. hiding her smiles. "I wonder what they will think after tonight!" At i o'clock she was ready, a slight. eager, joyous figure, just where the tall trees on the corner threw their I heavy shadow; Elder's quick, steady stride caught her ear as he came up the almost de serted residential street.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, SETEMBER 3, 1919 IT MEANS SUICIDE i Senate 1V1II Not Reject Treaty,! Hitchcock Aspects. Democratic Spokesman Opens Fight as Wilson Leave. B. 0. P. TRYING TO KILL PACT Trawl Around With M'jro scope Hunting for Pitfalls." Separate Peace Would LeaTe V. fi. Out in Cold. Washington, Sept. Declaring the real purpose of th foreign relations rommittee majority In amandin the raef treaty was to kill the treaty en tirely and that such a course would be suicidal to the United State. Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska. Democratic leader, asserted in a senate speech to day that the majority of the senators never would accept any of the com mittee changes. The treaty opponents, he said, "crawl on the ground with a micro icope searching for pitfalls" In the League of Nations and overlooking lub.-tantlal benefits which the treaty hi 1 1 n i in imiinn. i lie propositi. Senator Knox, Republican. Pa that1. treaty De rejected and a separate fjeacs made with Germany was char acterised by the speaker as an Insane "mixture of poltroonery and folly." Amendment Means Defeat. "By a vote of nine to eight." said Benator Hitchcock, "the committee on foreign relations is to bring squarely before the senate the question of de feating the pending treaty. Suppose the senate should vote In favor of the Shantung amendment or any other? What would happen? "Either the president would refuse to go further with the treaty or he would submit the amendment to the nations associated with the United States. Doea anyone believe they would accept it? Does anyone believe that Great Britain who has already ratified the treaty and Is also under a pledge to Japan with regard to Shantung, would accept the Shantung amendment? Does anyone think that France also under a pledge to Japan would ratify this change? Does any one suppose that Japan herself would uhmlt to this humiliation before the yes of the world? V. 8. Ix-rt Out In CoM. "I cannot conceive of any Intelli gent and candid man who would as sume such a thing aa a possibility. We would be met by an instant refusal to accept the amendment and then where would the United States find itself in this international settlement? Wt would find ourselves out in the cold, isolated from the rest of the world. The work of ratifying the treaty would proceed without us. "The treaty Itself provides that when three nations In addition to Ger many have signed, it shall go into ef fect. It is easy to see the enormous benefits which Great Britain and France will derive from this treaty. They will not take any chances. It is preposterous to suppose, that Japan will delay its ratification. The result l beyond all question. "What then will the United States do"1 Some say that congress can pass a Joint resolution declaring a state of pence with Germany. Others say the Uniteil states can negotiate a separate anil Independent treaty. Those who talk this way evidently have no con ception of the enormous benefits which the United States derives from this treaty. WOuld Mr Get Domajre? "In article 331. Germany Is com pelled to accept full responsibility for the damages caused by the war. Does any one think if we undertook to negotiate a separate treaty with Ger many, Germany would make any such concessions to the United States? Germany might say she had never de clared war on the United States: that It wa the United states which forced wnr upon her. "Tke the matter of German prop erty in the United States. Under this treaty all nets of the United States and if the alien property custodian with regard to that property are validated unless Germany enn show actual fraud. Is any one Insane enough to suppose that Germany will voluntarily make that concession to us if we lose the hold upon her which this treaty gives? Suppose 'Germany points to the treaties of 1799 and IS2S under which we acreed to respect the private property nf German nationals In the United States. "This treatv creates a commission railed the reparations commission. Unquestionably it will be the most powerful International body ever cre ated. It receives from Germany all reparations paid and distributes them to the various nations. Does any one think under the circumstances the "United States can afford not to have a representative on the reparations commission? Would Br Snlddnl. 'To my mind It would he suicidal to throw away the advantanes and bene fits provided in this treaty. It would de disastrous commercially and finan cially. "Defeat of the treaty by means of proposed amendment to It Is the real prosram and hope of the majority of the committee on foreign "-elatinns. It Is for this purpose that the treaty has been locked up In cold storage for so many weeks They have felt Justified in retaining the treaty in committee, holding Tiseless hearings and making killing amendments with the full knowledge that amendments would beat the treaty Jut as effectively aa a refusal to ratify. "A few. a very few. have declared (hey would vote against the treaty s cn'.e of the League, of Nations, but it ha remained for Senator Knox to declare boldly against our participa tion In the peace settlement To say that he has amesed the country Is to put It mildly He has shocked the count rv. He formerly favored taking the league of- Nations out of the treaty and sgglfying the peace settle ment with Germany. Now he sudden ly changes front. Where Are They Now? "What has become of the high pro fessions of last year? Last October, when Germany sought terms for the armistice, the senators now seeking to kill this treaty shouted for uncon ditional surrender. They demanded terma of peace dictated to Germany. Thy Insisted that the United States should to the last maintain the closest co-operation with the allied govern ments. They said It would be a breach of faith if we failed to stand by l'nland and other nations formed as a result of the war. "?ow what a change! The treaty his been negotiated; Germany ha signed It. Germany has ratified it: FORGOT PARADE! Three Visitors Found Attrac tion All Their Own Today. (ilrl Wore an Emotional Sweat er to Advantage. HER SKIRT WAS SPLIT! One of Men Told Her Her Shank Was Showin'. Then It Became Very, Very Cold on Kansas Avenue. Three men and two girls evidently from out of town stood on Kansas avenn this morning watching the crowd and commenting. At one all of them centered their attention on- something. A girl was approaehlng. She wore on of the new emotional sweaters. That is they are passionately outspoken in some cases. This wa ane of those. The girl was properly equipped to show off the sweater to Ita best advantage. The three men fell In at attention to watch her undulate by. She did, too -all of that. She passed by. The men did an about face much to the evident dis pleasure of the girls with them. "Oh. Boy. look where that girl split her skirt. I wonder if she knows It. France wa never like this." To Tell Her About It. "Maybe you had better tell her," suggested one. "Naw, you tell her." said the other. "Let's all go," said the third. "Say, we'll see you girls later" and down the street they went. It looked like it might be good and the split was up to above the knee and con sidering that the stocking was rolled down so that several Inches of leg were bare occasion-ally, well, you know. They followed for about two blocks, each trying to talk the other into mak ing the approach. The longer they followed the lower ebbed their nerve, but the higher rose their spirits. Finally, after about three blocks one brava Romeo got away on his right foot. They were quite close. He walked in closer, "Say, lady, your skirt ia split and there's a couple of feet of your shank a-showln'." If glances could freeze there was a cold wave on at that particular in stant. "P.ov. howdy France never was like that." said the ex-soldier. VISIT WILSONS 3 DAYS King Albert and Qnoen Elliabeth Duo In Washington Octob-or 1, Washington, Sept. I. King Albert and Queen Elliabeth of Belgium will arrive In Washington about October 1 and will be guests of President and Mr. Wilson at the White House, pro bably remaining three day. The king and queen wilt arrive In this country late this month and will coma directly to Washington to visit the president and Mrs. Wilson anfl then begin a tour art the country. It was learned today that the tentative Itinerary provides for their return to New York from Washington for a public, reception. Afterwards they will leave on a Journey that wilt carry them to the raclflc coast. The cities which will be visited enroute have not been determined upon finally. FOXES FROM FRANCE Commissioner McGlffert Will Place Them In Gage Zoo. A pair of red foxes has been re ceived by Commissioner Robert Mc Glffert. The foxes were shipped all the way from France to be placed in the soo at Gag park by Capt. H. C. Ericsson. McGlffert received a telegram from Ericsson saying that the foxes were on the way. Beyond that bit of Informa tion he knows nothing about them. They are young now but when they grow up they will no doubt be the father and mother of many yoiyig foxes for the park. Great Britain and Belgium have done the same; France. Italy and Japan will do so in rapid succession. The treaty dictates the terms to Germany Just as these senators demanded It should. "Quit and Scuttle" Policy. "But now the same senators who In sisted on a dictated peace, propose to abandon It and negotiate a peace set tlement on terms acceptable to Ger many. It is suggested that we desert our associates and negotiate a separ ate treaty. It is propoaed that we adopt a policy of quit and scuttle. It la proposed that we repudiate our obligations and like cravens leave lli.ni in e nftrfflrMcH K ,W Ulalu .MAUt.rf I V. "Was there ever a more insane In ternational policy propoaed? In the mixture of poltroonery and folly it la difficult to see which predominate. The senator from Pennsylvania goe the limit. He not only propose that we desert our friends and abandon our obligations, but he suggests that we release Germany from all promise of Indemnities and reparations. Why not go further and propose that we com pensate Germany? That would be a still stronger appeal to German senti ment. Wrferent Story Soon. "He saya In so many words, slaugh ter the treaty, desert our friends, abandon our obligations and yield to Germany. I have full faith that when this treaty I finally released from cold storage It will In the senate receive different treatment. Here, unquee tlonablv. there Is an overwhelming majority who desire to finish the work undertaken when we entered the war. Here will be found a safe majority for a peace settlement. "I have spoken of the treaty as a whole. But the League of Nations feature particularly h been persist ently and unreasonably attacked in thi chamber. Those who conjure up these possible disadvantages seem to Ignore altogether the enormous ao rantagea of organizing the world for peace. Cannot See Ahead. "They make mountalna out of mole hills In reviewing difficulties of the league plan. They are suspicious that while It may benefit every other na tion on earth It is so devised as to bring disaster to the United State. They crawl on the ground with a mi croscope searching for pitfall, and are unable to look forward to the prom ised land of peace and order, and Jus lice to which the new movement leads." BRING SMITH HERE Authorities Believe He Was;Topeka Women May Establish Leader in "Pen" Forgeries. Was Foreman of Disciplinary Barracks Printing Plant HE DENIES HE IS GUILTY Prisoner Says He Can Give Full Account of Actions. He Is Still Wearing His Army Uniform. Benjamin F. Smith, believed by fed eral authorities to be the ring leader of the gang of counterfeiters discov ered in the United States disciplinary barracka at Leavenworth a few months ago. has been brought to To peka and confined In the Shawnee county Jail. He denied this morning that he had been implicated in the af. fair. Ho was arrested last week at Shawnee. Okla. Smith was foreman of the printing plant at the barracks where govern ment cheeks are alleged to have been printed and carried out by men whose term of service had expired. Smith held this position from July 1, 1917, until February 22, 1819, on which date he waa discharged. He waa picked up in Oklahoma on the suspicion that he had cashed approximately $60,000 worth of counterfeit, government cheeks, it was said. Still Wears Uniform. Still dtessed In his army uniform, Smith talked freely but nonchalantly thru the Iron bars of hla cell. He has a wife and mother in Atlanta, Ga., his former home, he said. "I can't tell you a thing about these so-called checks." he said, "because I don't know anything about them. I waa discharged February it, 1919, and they did not discover the counterfeit ing until some, months later. I can show them where I have been every day since my discharge and, as a mat ter of fact, I was at all times from. IiOB to 1.800 miles away from the places where these so-called checks were cashed. But I waa foreman there for twenty-two months, so I suppose they kind of look to me as the ring leader." Has Been In South. Smith said he had been In the south ern states since hla discharge. At one time he was a captive in the hands of the Mexican bandits, he said. He served on the Mexican border from November 5. 191, until March, 1917. Ho went into Mexico with the first punitive expedition and feu Into the handa of the Mexicans, ha says, by whom he waa held captive In Devil's pass, about 130 miles from the border, until rescued by the Eleventh cavalry. He Is charged with conspiring to de fraud the government. "KIRK" JILL PLAY Son of Prof. Kirkpatrlck To Battle for Ichnbods. Coach Bearg Also Expects Much From Shaler.

MULVANE HAS A PLAN She Says Housewives Should Bo More Marketing. Membership of 1,000 Is Goal of Organization. Topeka women may establish a cen tral information and marketing bu reau in, their campaign on the high cost of 'living. Plans ror the organiza tion were discussed today at the state house. The plan calls lor an organi zation of 1,000 Tojeka housewives who would secure price lists and market dope thru a central bureau. Housewives would pay 25 to 50 cents a month for the service. Under the central organization plan a paid secretary would Investigate selling prices at Topeka stores. An information clerk would convey this information to member of the organ ization. All members would be pledged to conservative buying and careful shopping with a view of ob taining the lowest prices. Must "Market" More, "I really, believe one big trouBIe with the present high cost of living Is ,the failure of housewives to mar ket." Mrs. D. W. Mulvane told Clyde M. Reed, private secretary to Governor Allen. "Too many women merely ask for what they want and never stop to inquire about the price. The tempta tion to take advantage of the situa tion Is too much for many merchants." The plan which is now being per fected would call for the employment of a trained woman to gather prices on all commodities. An assistant would answer telephone call and di rect the shoppers who are members of the housewives' organization. In order to meet necessary expenses, each member would pay a nominal monthly fee. It la the belief of Sec retary Reed, who proposed the plan, that many times the monthly dues would be saved by housewives thru the information bureau. Reed be lieves an organization of 1.000 mem bers can be secured in Topeka. 'JOIN, COMRADES!' All Radicals Called to Banner of New Communist Party. Ultra Radical Socialists Biscuss Union With It.

Jmmedia armed intervention in Mexico "to cu the worst political sore spot on th continent,'" was advocated by Gov. "V P. Hobby, of Texas, in an excluslv interview here today "Mexico must have a stable govern ment, and either the United States or some other nation must intervene to guarantee such a government to the world," Governor Hobby declsred. "Our Monroe doctrine would not per mit us to sit Idly by while some other nation Intervened, knowing, as we do, the danger of intervention turning into a war of conquest a purpose which would be farthest from our own minds In intervening." The governor emphasized interven tion should be purely for protective and educational purposes and should be followed by complete withdrawal of American troops "whenever the Mexi cans shall have shown they can prop erly govern themselves." The United States should not ask one inch of territory, he declared. ThiR fact thmtM Vto mnrift 1 r b r t n tm j Mexican people, he said. governor Hooby emphasized he wished intervention. If taken, to be on a sufficient scale to restore order com pletely in Mexico, and educate the country to such a degree that order can be maintained by the Mexicans when American forces are withdrawn. This might take ten years, or fifty, the Texan executive,, said, "but no mat ter how long it would take, our pur pose would be protective and educa tional, not aggression or conquest.
