The Dem ocratic national convention went into its ninth session and its twenty-third ballot today for a presidential nomi nee. There was notling to indicate that any marked change was in pros pect from the last roll call of Satur day night. The twenty-second ball' had left the four leaders. Cox 430: McAdoo 372 H; Palmer 166; avis 52. A re maining 7 0 votes were scattered among the favorite son contenders, Owen, Glass, Cummings, with two re corded for President Wilsc- and a oouple for Champ Clark. Both McAdoo and Cox supporters were emphatic in claims for victory today but they had no definite basis for their confidence to make public. Jt has been a rule of Democratic conventions under the two-thirds nomination rule that the first man to secure a majority, which would be B4S votes on the f' "I roll of this con version, got the omination. T.-esi-dent Wilson's, fir.st nomination at Bal timore in 1912 was an exception into which unusual circumst nc entered. Pnlircr Holds Key. On the face of the twenty-second ballot. Palm forces were ilding a key to open the door to a majority. The favorite son votes A esumably were being vithheld from the Cox McAdoo deadlock for some definite purpose. In some cases t'.ey were looked upon as lightning rods kept up in hope of a storm and a scurry f ir a dark horse nominee. They may also have to do with' vice-presidential ambitions. The Palmer forces were the main reservoir from which Cox and McAdoo hoped to draw reinforce ments to capture a majority. Palmer's main guard is composed of 73 of the 76 of his native state. Pennsylvania, allied with, Georgia's solid 28. The Georgians made a com plimentary excursion to the McAdoo ranks on the twenty-first ballot, but the twenty-second found them back in Palmer entrenchments. It was a tribute from McAdoo's native state. Much Iark Horse Talk. Dark horse speculation still was running: riot today. Almost every liv ing Democrat who ever got headline prominence in a newspaper was trot-j ted out at one time or another. It was an unusual delegate who did not have a "what about Jimmy this or Bill that" to fire at any friends he met. Leaders combed the list for availables but of all the talk there came nothing even to suggest a name on which a new mobilization might be made. The convention assembles with pros pects of more uproarious demonstra tions such as have characterized it from the start. Unless some wholly unexpected .-hift occurred in the twenty-third ballot, rival workers planned to i.-iV the irreat hortv out of its rjoise and into a landslide." fnt folinrt Confident The Cox people based their hopes on the fact their man led consistently from the twelfth ballot and that they had practically" all the "hosses" on their side. E. H. Moore, Cox manager, displayed his confidence by betting $500 to $1,000 that his candidate would be nominated by the twenty fifth ballot. Thomas J. C. Spelley, Palmer supporter, took the long end. C. C. Carlin, Palmer manager, said his delegates would be voting for the attorney-general on the last ballot and asserted Palmer would get back all the votes he had "loaned" to Cox in order to block McAdoo. McAdoo leaders spent yesterday and last night exhorting the "faithful" to, stand by their guns and promising) large accessions to their ranks from unreveaied and unexpected sources. Plans were made for spectacular dem onstrations for McAdoo during to day's session. Glass Denies McAdoo Rumor. A report was circulated last night 1 tnat senator liiass nan oeciaea to re- lease the Virginia delegation. Glass vehemently declared that "there isn't a word of truth in it." The Virginian was supposed to be ing up his dele gation for the benefit of lcAdoo. According to fairly accurate polls of the delegates. Palmer would get at least 18 of them if they were released. Most of these 18 were in favor of Cox as a second choice it was said. The Oklahoma delegation of twenty and the "West Virginia delegation of sixteen were expected to stand by Owen and Davis, because of the "dark horse possibilities for their favorite sons." William J. Bryan let it be known that Owen is his favorite as a com promise candidate. Cumminps May Solve it. Cummings was popularly supposed (Coutimitfd on Fags Two. TODAY'S PROGRAM (Coast Time.) 10 a. rn.

That Is Plan of Kansas Demo I crats in the Campaign. They Want to Arouse-All An tagonism Against Allen. SEE A CHANCE FOR VICTORY Out in Frisco They Are Already Counting Votes. Hope That Republican Sore Spots Won't Be Healed. ET A. L. SHULTZ. -San Francisco, July 5. Kansas dele gates and party workers who attended the national convention, are going home to patch their own fences and stir up a little trouble in the Republi can camp. With their minds centered on the need of votes in November, the Kansas Bourbons do not propose to overlook anything that will add to a possible chance to put the state in their party column. Just at this time the Democrats place great store in the chancea for Republican disaffection at home. They have rehearsed and magnified the events which transpired during the Re publican convention in Chicago. They have taken the Allen following from the Republican column and placed it on their own list. To this they have added the disgruntled of the Wood forces and the staunch supporters of Mulvane who resented state adminis tration interference with the national committeeman contest. Chance to Enthuse. Looking at the thing on paper and 2.000 miles from home there is per haps an opportunity to enthuse over the Democrat platform. But the really wise men within the Democrat party the men who have experienced thrills of many former contests do not reg ister high temperatures. They have seen the Republicans fight before and usually get together on election day. It is four long months until the November battle day. And the wise ones are not certain that the Repub lican sore spots will not be healed long before that time. 4InT,1912 U was the standpat wing of the Republican party which stood out for Taft and ditched the Bull Moosers. giving the state to the Democrats for the first time since 1896.

"Today Begins Our Chateau- Thierry" Jfow Their Cry. San Francisco, July 5, "Today be gins our Chateau- Thierry" was the slogan of McAdoo delegates on the eve of today's session of the Demo cratic convention. The slogan was given them by Dr. the principal speakers at a public cau cus of McAdoo delegates, held to de- de clde OB course of action in today's balloting. The course decided on-was; to "hold the line, if the battle lasts a week." Cone Johnson of Texas opened the pow wow, urging 'the delegates to stand fast. Doctor Jenkins; in a sten torian verbal barrage that resounded thru the corridors of the'Falaee" ho tel, warned that representatives of other candidates would come to them today and try to wheedle away a few votes for their men "just as a com pliment." "The time for compliments is past," Jenkins thundered. E. T. Meredith, secretary of agricul ture and a member of the Iowa dele gation, which heretofore has voted for Cox. declared his delegation had been in session all day and that it probably would switch to McAdoo. Ex-Governor Brewer of Mississippi, whose state voted for Cox for twenty one ballot, announced it would cast one more ballot for Cox and that if he is not likely to win. Just so they can get it over with. The delegates are enjoying themselves here: there is no heat to contend with and so far no general "Let's go home" movement has developed. McAdoo atipPrters today were say- (Continued on Page Two.) It's a Stupid Old Sane v Fourth in Topeka Today This is the most stupid "Fourth of July" on record in Topeka. Maybe it is because it isn't the fourth, it ia the fifth. Anyway, it is- a listless, unpatriotic sort of a. day no booming of fire crackers, no home made cannons, no excited kids to jarr the morning sleep with a dish pan of explosrves, no bands, no parade, no races, no night fireworks to' look forward to, "no nuthin,'." As a matter of fact the Fourth ain't what it uster be. The safety first variety lacks the I "t "LrV ith j a?" J.coI2l Z few years ago. But it also lacks some- I thingr else and that is what has made Topeka a "deserted city" today. Do you remember when you would look forward to the Fourth from the time school was out early in June? Do you remember how you pitched right into every job you could pick up in order to hoard away a little red pack age of firecrackers now and then? Do you remember comparing your miser ly collection of odds and ends of pow der articles with the collections made by the other kids in the neighbor hood? Do you remember the wave of envy that swept the gang when some "favorite son" was able to exhibit a Roman candle that shot twenty-five times? Do you remember the delight that accompanied your retirement the night of the third when you counted your penniea and found that you. had enough for fifteen sticks of licorice. ten all-day-suckers, five" glasses of lemonade and a package of raisins all this in addition'to your fireworks? Do ycu remember when aw, wat's the usej Topekans never allow a lack of noise and excitement to altogether spoil a Fourth. The city is full of passes persons who are able to ride on the railroads free to almost any distance that can be covered in the available time. Santa Fe officials say ithat never was there such a demand i for passes as this year. The Fourth THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC. JULY 4. 1776.

Only Perfunctory.: Reference Made to Question in Platform. San Francisco, July 6. The tariff, century old issue between the two fading parties in the United States is dead as a campaign Issue. Democratic leaders declared here today. That is the reason, they said, the Democratic platform -dismissed the subject with a j5imple reaffirmation of the party's traditional policy of tariff for revenue only, and an effort made by Senator King of Utah, In the reso lutions committee to revive the tariff by adding to the proposed plank the stipulation that in levying a revenue tariff no discrimination should be shown in- any section of the country was defeated. In relegating the tariff to the background, the Democrats followTed the lead of the Republicans, who in their platform carried but a perfunctory reference to a protective tariff. Thus the issue which was one of the underlying causes of the Civil war, because of the alleged discrimination in levying and which ..has been the battle ground in and out of congress for years, is out of sight. It will never be revive 1 in the opinion of Demo cratic leaders here. Senator King, who tried to have the non-discrimination declaration added to the tariff plank, said today that the tariff is dead as an issue, because the financial needs of the government make it necessary to raise every pos sible dollar thru the tariff. Th's means, King said., that no matter which party is in power, it will be on the lookout for opportunities to put on tariff duties. 'Therefore." con tinued King, "the Republican protec tionists w:ll be satisfied because everything- dutiable will be taxed and the Democrats will be satisfied be cause they regard the situation as vindicating the doctrine of tariff for revenue only."

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, JULY 5, 1920 In County Politics PUNCH III PLANKS Frank Drenning, County At torney Candidate, a Scrapper. "Would Empty Jails, Putting Prisoners on Koad Work. DEFINE UBOR COURT STANDS Fisher Would Have Members Elected by Popular Vote. chocli for Present Law Close Contests in County. BY PERCY C. POWELL. Emptying the county jail of its prisoners and sending them to the state industrial ,farm to work on stat ioafrn, refusing to parole wife de serters and sending them to the in dustrial farm to work for the state and refusing to continue the present alleged promiscuous parole system in Shawnee county are three planks in a platform built this week by Frank G. Drenning, candidate for county at torney subject to the will of Republi can voters at the primaries. In building a platform and advo cating reforms in the present system of conducting the county attorney's office. Drennine is the- first of the county candidates to depend uponj something besides personal solicitation and political manipulation to put his candidacy over. Probably Senator W. F. Schoch and Hugh T. Fisher, coun ty attorney, opposing candidates for state senator on the Republican ticket, might be excluded from this state ment, as both this week defined their Ideas on the industrial court. That, however, was the result of labor's de mands for a declaration on the fa mous Allen industrial court law. Ircmiing a Scrapper. T Drenning's bitterest enemies admit he is a scrapper. They also admit that if Topeka wants a raiser" for County attorney, Drenning can qualify In that particular. In opening his campaign in Topeka thid week Drenning lives up to ad vance notices of his ability to raise the Mower regions." He tears into the present administration of the county attorney's office by accusing that of ficial of indiscriminate sanction of 'hundreds of paroles." paying little attention to getting the county's end of liquor fines and enriching his own bank account by collecting 52,196 in liquor fines for himself in a year and a half. Following is what he plans to do and work for, according to a signed statement presented to The State Journal today: What He Plans to Do. "A more efficient enforcement of the criminal laws so th.it the rich profiteer as well us the burglar will feel the heavy hiiinl of thp law. "Investigate eTery outo collision or emusli up and a check ou reckless driving ami speeding by sending drivers to jail for sixty day a, "Iii liquor onsen collect the fines due the county. Out of l'jy liquor cases where pleas of guilty have been received or con victions had. -with minimum flues due the county of $12.1MK. only 4o(t in f.nes have been turned into the school fund, while fees cttHerted by the county attorney for himself amount to SU.l'Jti ;u addition to the salary of t,(MMJ per year. This is shown by the records of the clerk of the district court nut I covers only about one and a half years, beginning with March "Several ni-Mi accused of betraying school girls have fled and escaped punishment, limit down these men and send them to the penitcntia-py. Also prosecute while slavery without fear or favor. "Sentence and send to jail immediately after conviction all persous found guilty of prime instead of waiting until the end of the term, ho me two mouths or more. 'Ihi away with the granting of hundreds of paroles as practiced in Shawnee county during the last two years. "Also sue ou all forfeited bonds promptly. "Also send alt men serving time in the couur. r jail to the state industrial farm to do good road work and earn something to support their families instead of compelling the county poor commissioner to supply food and coal for them. Send all men guilty of child or wife desertion to the state industrial farm for two to five years and pay their families not less that Jl.fio-'pcr day ns In California, in stead of Issuing conditional paroles as at present." Tinkfiam Veale. assistant county at torney, and Judge Rad M, Lee, oppos ing Drenning for the nomination, are plodding along in their campaign of handshaking and fence fixing. The aggressive campaign opened by Dren ning may call for a demand for a plat form from these candidates. Differ on Industrial Court. Senator Schoch and Hugh Fisher, present county attorney, seeking nomination for the state senate on the Republican ticket along with O. S. True, labor's avowed candidate, differ on the industrial court. Fisher, in. a statement on his attitude, aligns him self with the same belief expressed by Democrats in the house and senate at the special session he is for the election of the court members by popular vote. He believes the court should be given a fair trial. Schoch Is for the law as it stands until it is proved to be unfair to either capital or labor and then he is for a change in it. Statements by Schoch. Schoch's statement on the indus trial court follows I voted for the industrial court bill because I believe! it to be equally fair and just to capital nnd labor, and that It was a step In the right direction, its purpose being to reconcile the differences between employer and employe, and therefore to rrotect the rights of -the public at largp. t may not dp perfect. It may not serve the pnrtwv-.e. but it is entitled to a fair trial. If any part of bis law iB found to be unjust to labor, or to give capital any unfair advantage over labor, J will vote to amend it and endeavor to' Improve it. If It then proves to be unjust. 1 will cheer fully work and vote to repeal it. If I am re-eiected to the senate I will not go there to represent any class or faction or in terest, but to the best of my ability, repre sent and consider at all times the welfare of my constituents." Schoch also takes a hand in swat ting the present parole system. He said "The abuse of our pardon and parole laws at the hands of those charged with responsibility for the enforcement of the statutes against crime in this state, has become almost a public scandal. None too many convictions are had and pleas of guilty are often accepted for lesser degrees of guilt, on agreements made beforehand, that paroles or pardons will be consented to. Our whole pardon and parole system needs reforming ami placed wholly in the hands' of those who have as much interest in protecting society against crime ns they have in the reformation of criminals." Fisher's Statement. Fisher in a statement Issued this week on the industrial wourt and his attitude toward it if x.ominatad and elected, said: As I understand the Industrial court law it seeks to provide a plau or method of settling disputes so as to give to every one justice. It attempts what might be called a humane -way of giving to labor, capital and the people a method of decid ing controversies without strife. loss of time or of production. I am In favor of such a principle. The law ic new. It no doubt will need some modification. Per sonally, I believe judges of such a tribunal should be selected by the people. Just as judges of the supreme court are elected. I am in favor of giving the industrial court law a fair trial. If it should develop that the law works an injustice to labor, capital or the general public. I shall be in favor of suc h changes as will, guarantee every body justice." Bob Miler undersheriff, arid Frank Leech, marshal of the. court of To peka, are looked upon as the leaders in the race for sheriff. For months Miler and George G. Hanhan, chief of police, scrapped openly and above board. Leech did his harvesting while the fight was going on between Miler and Hannan. Vnique Situation Here. The scrap for Judge of the court of Topeka involves Paul Heinz, Clyde Cowgill and Sam Carroll. CowgUl is an A. E. F. man, who has had com paratively little legal experience. Carroll is a member of the Typo- graphical union who studied, law nights and recently passed the state bar examination. Heinz has been police judge and assistant city prose cutor. Only Woman Candidate. Mrs. 'Orra L. Scudder, former: deputy In the office of Mrs. Mary E. Chapin, clerk of the district court, is the only woman candidate. Mrs. Scudder is endow with all the per sonality and ptood looks a woman should want. These qualities are re ported to be winning favor with the stronger sex and at the same time may cost disfavor from the sweeter sex if any of its members in Shaw nee county have the "catty and jeal ous" dispositions'accorded by some to women. W. E. (ft!l Anderson needs little introduction. He is a Topeka boy, born and reared In the city, who served In the army and, prior to his military career, was a stenographer in the county attorney's office. Both are working hard an-: have organizations working for them. They are candi dates for clerk of the district court. Wcightman's Friends Worried. Matt Weightman's friends this week expressed apprehension that he might be beaten for re-election as representative from the Thirty-fourth district because of his lethargy in campaigning. A. T. Bauer, his op ponent, was reported to be using his best efforts to impress his good points upon the minds of voters in the dis trict. C. H. Searle was reported to be leading In the campaign for represen tative from the Thirty-fifth district. J. J. King is the opposing candidate. Few reports are received on the con test between L. H. Newender and H. V. White for representative from the Thirty-third district. "Vet" Against "Vet." Douglas Graham, deputy county clerk, and Elmer Bobbins, opposing candidates for county clerk, are say ing little and working hard, iobbins is an American Legion man, while Graham is a Spanish-American war 1 veteran. Both have a host of friends. McAfee Has Fig-ht on Hands. Henry McAfee, present county com missioner from the Third district, is having the fight of his life for re election. Kenneth Raub, present county clerk, is opposing' him. ,Raub as county clerk knows the -transactions of the board of commissioners as well as those officials do themselves. Raub says the present board has been extravagant. McAfee, of course, says '"taint so" and claims the commis sioners have done more than any oth er board irv starting the building of hard surfaced roads and have erected a county home. Others opposing Mc Afee are Ed Buckman and 8. C. Shim- l er. A, A. Rodgers, county commis sioner from the Second district, has no apposition at the primaries. Consult Your Lawyer. J. D. M. Hamilton, a young attor ney with a war record, wants to be probate judge. W. C. Ralston, a well known veteran politician, old enough to be Hamilton's father, is in the same state of mind. Usually, voters act more on "the advice of attorneys" in voting for this office and for clerk of the district court than for any of the other county offices. You might ask your lawyer if he won't charge you for the advice. AIR SCOUT LOCATED SLAYERS Rock Island Special Agent Killed Second Official to Ixse Ufe. Wichita, Kan.. July 5. Three men were arrested in the railroad yards Sunday in connection with the mur der in North Wichita at 4:30 o'clock yesterday morning of W. C.

Director, Washing ton. o. Recently a circumstance has ccyne to light well illustrating the effect 'of labor strikes in boosting price's. A dealer in marble and granite, whose name it is unnecessary to mention, many months ago made an order on the works at Barre, Vt., for two car loads of granite. Before the goods were delivered the granite cutters went on strike. They remained out for months and finally returned to work on a compromise agreement. The salesman who accepted the west ern dealer's .order has offered him $1,600 to cancel the contract for deliv ery of the two car loads of stone. It is generally conceded that one cause of high prices is inadequate dis tribution of commodities. This is not wholly due to a. shortage of cars. The railroad workers have the power to j effect a reduction in the cost of living, as with extra exertion they could bring the goods now held at production points and centers to the markets and thus influence general price -reductions. The j-esult would hardly be rr.ore than temporary, as in the case of tW- voluntary price reductions due to tho suspension of demand by the pub lic, but it would be beneficial in that it would add to the strength of the ensuing upswing in production and confidence. The "sales" conducted by retailers in their effort to revive pub 4 lie buying were only moderately suc cessful and are already on the wane, the pioneer in the movement having announced the suspension of the re duction policy. Not all the public is convinced that the drops of water seen trickling down Mr. Bryan's face during his great speech in San Francisco were tears. There are those who think they may have been produced by the heat. The Democrat platform failed to make an appeal to the army of di vorcees in this country for their votes. But it may be that the com mittee looked for the nomination of Cox, who is said to be one. It is claimed for the congress re cently adjourned that it saved $40. 000,000 a day for the taxpayers. If we all counted as savings the money we t,o not spend, everybody would be come wealthy in a short time. Altho Colonel Bryan is' well accus tomed to defeat at the polls he sus tained his first rout at a convention of his party at San Francisco. The first demand that business and the country will make of the adminis tration to enter office next March Is economy. Greater economy would have been compelled long ago if the nation as a whole appreciated Just how widespread the effects of government extravagance have been. The most obvious result of the heavy expendi ture is being seen in taxation. The need to turn billions of dollars into the public, coffers has caused the adoption of doubtful taxes, which have fallen In many instances with little relation to the ability to bear them, have drawn heaviest on the normal savings of the naiton and have dried up the sources of new in-estment funds; funds that would otherwise have gone to restor ing the railroads, and to building new factories or launching new enter prises to increase the natioifs capac ity for procfucing wealth. Most dis turbing t? all has been the excess profits tax. which, not to speak of the intrinsic unfairness and inequity with which it has fallen, has discouraged production on many sides and encour aged extravagance and waste every where. Should the threatened tie-up of building operations in Topeka mater ialize the city would be deprived of much promised housing both of bus! trier.; and residential kinds Any dis turbance of the building program means serious things for the city for many months In the future. The public- is much concerned, as it will suffer regardless of which side wind in the controversy between the master-builders and" their employes. THE PSYCHOLOGIC FACTOR. Instances in which the general sag ging of prices has been due either to greater production or to lower cost of production are practically negligible. Production, if anything, has suffered, under the 'nfluence of eight tie-ups, coal shortages, fewer working hours, strikes and other handicaps. How, then, it may be asked, has it been pos sible for prices to fall, and how is it possible to predict any further de cline? The answer is, says a financial bul letin, that the fall "f prices has come about thru an" alteration in demand, and that while the objective or phys ical props still work to sustain prices, the psychologic prop has been with drawn. Intrinsic influences remain, but the speculative influence is dis appearing. Of equal importance with the psy chologic factor ltTu-bringing prices down has been the -shortage of credit and the high rates resulting from it. With commercial paper now moving at 8 per cent, merchants will be prone to carry as low a stock of goods as they can. Unfortunately, present high money rates work In ome instances to hinder commodity-production; "but commodity speculation suffers even more. Banks, whose funds are greatly needed 'for productive enter prise will be inclined to lend as little as possible to speculators who wish to carry goods merely In the hope of a higher price. In the money narket there has been a tightening of credit alt around. The government is now paying as high as 6 per cent for its shont-term borrow ing, a rate not touched since 1865; the New York discount rate has been raised to 7 per cent; and the federal reserve banks of Kansas City, Dallas, St. Louis and Atlanta, have applied the powers conferred by trie recent Phe lan act, so that some member banks in those districts are reported to be paying as high as 45 per cent for part of their borrowings. These rates are without precedent. Recent weekly federal reserve statements show that they have been effective, and that con traction of currency and credit has set in.' Part of this contraction may be'the result of the usual Bummer dullness, but in" any event the banks will need all the surplus lending power they can accumulate to take care of the crop demands in the fall--' TAXES ALL THE WAY. The influence of our system of tax ation upon prices is shown by the story of a nailr-as told-by the National As sociation of Credlt,Men. What Is true of the nail applies to most other ne cessities. The story follows: Tax 1. Paid by the company which mines the iron ore. Tax 2. Paid by the company which earries the ore to the port on Lake Erie. Tax S. Paid by the dock company which unloads the ore. Tax 4. Paid by the railroad com pany which carries the ore to the blast furnace. Tax 5. Paid by the blast furnace which smelts the ore. Tax 6. Paid by the' steel mill which transforms jthe pig-iron into steeV Tax 7. Paid by the factory which makes the nail. Tax 8. Paid by the wholesale hard ware house which buys the nail from the factory.- Tax 9. Paid by the retail hardware dealer who sells the nail to'the ulti mate consumer. Could any system of taxation, even a sales tax, be worse, when the im mense cost of running the machinery for the collection of the above taxes is considered? AN OLD FIGHT RENEWED. The old figh of the railroads against any attempt to extend or Im prove water transportation has broken out in a new place. There is on foot a plan to give Great Lakes ports thro steamship connection with Europe via the St. Lawrence river. Railroad ex ecutives are reported to be offering vigorous opposition to the scheme. The railroads are not in a position where they can afford to antagonize any Targe body of citizens. They were never more in need of friends than they are today. Besides they have more business than they can do with their existing facilities and traffic promises to increase, more rapidly than will the ability of the roads to handle It. No "dog In the manger" policy will meet with public approval. The St. Lawrence waterway is in tended to be a continental belt line, 'o be used for the diversion of certain traffic that now passes thru the ter minals, principally Buffalo and Atlan tic ports, and that could be sent around them with greater speed and less cost. By loading millions of tons of freight at Chicago, Milwaukee,-' Du luth. Fort William, Detroit, Toledo and otheV Great Lakes ports and rout ing It 'completely around th2 congest ed terminals .by way of -a deep water way in the St. 'Law -ence channel, much more freight can be saved from the vortices of the present system than is now saved, or rescued, by the ter minal railroads. The same routing could be used for raw materials aad manufactured rrticles moving west- war, i Just how railroad executives are go ing to Justify t-ny. opposition td the St., Lawrence project, says the Detroit News, is ot clear.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL "information Bureau FREDERIC 3. HASKIN, Director. Washington, D. C. THE LAST OF THE ECOXOMITES. Economy, P, July 2. This curi ous, drab little town, a boat one hour's rade from Pittsburgh, shelters the sacred mementos ana the cherished memory of the picturesque past. 'A hundred, years ago it was one of the most prosperous and Influential colo nies of the Middle West, famous for its industries, its contentment and its thrift. Today it is merely a cluster of rather dilapidated streets,, strug gling to hold their identity, against an encroaching neighbor. -the new indus- trial town of Ambridge. which con-1 stantly grows broader and bigger. Evervhodv aa-re.es that in a few I years Economy will be gone, com pletely absorbed by Ambridge; but there is a part of Economy which can never be wrested from it, and that is its past. The Historical Society 'of Western Pennsylvania has seen to that. An old, square church, beautiful 'and stately in the simplicity of its design; an ancient brick house, with a peaked roof, sturdy cak tluors, and ivy cover ed walls; a lovely, quaint old garden, containing tall horse-chestnut trees, yellow rose, bushes and a funny, cir cular, stone band stand these are all that Economy possesses today to tell the dramatic story of the early-Economies who lived a unique ea-.perii.-ent here. Unless you, happen to meet Brother J. S Dues, the last representa tive of the Eeonomltes in Economy, who dwells in the old brick house! We did. As Brother Duss was trustee of the so-LEconomltes' society during its chaotic declining years, .he is much better aa quainted with its history and activities than most of the historians who have attempted to' describe them to the public. We have his own word for this. In -fact, eo bitter is .Brother Iuss concerninflr the carelessness and innedbracy with which the records. of the socidty have been set down that he has lost all faith in newspaper re porters. For this Teason we intend to let Brother Duss tell this story as he told it to us. sitting in the garden, in the shadow of the old band-stand. Economy was the, third town cut out of the American wilderness by the Harmony society Be began wiping oit and adjusting his nose glasses. "(Bro ther Duss is a very modern old man. with a lean. wiry. build, hair scarcely touched with gray, and a lively, ex pressive face. He emphasizes his elo quent remarks with equally eloquent gestures.) All Worked nnd Shared Alike. 'Harmonv. Pa., was the first, and New Harmony. Ind.. was the second. I run on the communistic principle. Everybody worked, and everybody re ceived Ithe sania amount of produce, regardless of how -much he had in vested in the treasury of the society at the beginning. It was a marvelous organization. "Picture to yourself a state wnere the high cost of living is so thoroly solved that each one knows that so far as the necessaries and comforts of life are concerned he has them assured in sickness and in health for all time; yea, and after that a respectable., burial. "A place where "there ts no trans portation problem," no worry about" the condition of the railroads, because alt- the necessaries of life are produced right there and supplied direct to the consumers, without the interference of middle men. "Where there are no banking and currency problems, because there is no need of money. The land yields gen erous return to diligent hands', the factories and shops produce all ne cessary wenjing apparel and articles, and to each is given what he needs. "As to woman, she has the equal right with man to labor and enjoy thevfruits thereof also, she has the same right to give voice to. her senti ments. -i "The question of keeping the young people on the farm is aso solved, for the farm on which they labor en circles the town in which they live, town life and. farm life being har moniously blended. At harvest time the whole community takes to the fields. "A place where the.erection of pub lic building and the construction of utilities is brought about with aston ishing rapidity buC mark you. not by voting bonds and saddling debt on future generations, but by doing the work outright. Why It Was Called Harmony. "A place where tiere is no dawdling or-ctuibbling or other waste of time in fact, where mere is no waste oi any kind; no unemployed, no indigent. no tramps or criminals. A place where, altho no one dresses extrava gantly, the materials worn are of the highest quality, and every garment to the last stitch, button, hook and eye, is in perfect repair. A place where flowers and vines row in abundance in every yard and garden; yea, even on the machines in the factories are potted plants or flowers in vases. Where there is an orchestra and band. and almost all of the people take part- in sonrr festivals -and concerts. He paused" dramatically to. let thejv full glory or mis, remarKaDie siaic take effect. Then, ''This was the sort of place founded by George Rapp and his associates." he said. "George Rapp was a weaver .of Wurttemberg, who decided to emi grate to this country upon hearing the news of the Louisiana Purchase. Ac companied by his son ind many fol lowers, including a ytmng architect named Frederick Jteichert. he arrived in Baltimore in 1S03 and immediately started for the wilderness. After ex ploring part of, Maryland. Pennsyl vania and Ohio, the party bought five thousand aeres of land at three dol lars per acre, and located in Butler county, Pennsylvania, not far from Pittsburgh. They called their settle men 'Harmony, and their com munity the 'Harmony Society. "The communistic feature of the so ciety was (not premeditated, but came about thru unforeseen circumstances. After making thel necessary payment for their land arp purchasing some cattle, horses and implements, they had little money left. At the time they left Wurttcnberg. the wealthier members of the party had advanced money to those who needed it to pay the expenses of the Journey to Amer ica. Under present conditions the pay ment of these loans became an im possibility, so it was agreed that they be canceled and thai what little money or personal property existed among the members of the society would be placed in one common fund, to be ased for all. "Among the society's ranks were tradesmen of almost every conceivable craft carpenters, blacksmiths, wagon makers, coopers.-- shoemakers, tailors, hatters, masons, wheelwrights, sad- Reichert, the young architect, who 1 afterward took the name of Rapp as George Rapps adoptee son, these craftsmen were put to work, building the town and producing extra goods to be sold to outside communities. This was the beginning of the socie ty's industrial prosperity, which grew steadily, until Economy, the third town, was a famous early metrop olis. "When 1 was a little boy," continued Brother Duse, "they were making even their own silks, having imported silk worms irom China with whicH to start a silk farm. About the time of the close of the Civil war a bakery was established which baked bread for all. And each family i had its own cow. Just the same Che milkman drove by mornings and evenings, and the milk from each cow was poured into, the top of a large can.

"But what happened to this Ideal state?" we interrupted Brother Duss. "Why did it fail?"'

Why rtopla Failed. "Well tn -first cause of its failure started back fn the early days of the colony when the hardships were many and the food rations were extremely scarce. At this time ceiiDacy was;ln adopted as an integral part of the so- cieiy s piaiiurin. .u on the birth rate was practically nil.

The young woman sat on the grass beside the little boy- and guided the unsteady hand. "That's it!" she said a moment later. "You've done it beautifully. Now. if you want to play a little, you may." With a squeal, of delight, the boy threw his arms around her neck, then M ;i T Inin thA TiSrtv. Mr. KVaTtlr- as the owner dropped carelessly on i i. the ground at her feet. "What would you do if I were to 'say 'no'?" she laughed, "Too late now besides, I knew you wouldn't."

'Fine, I should say," the man de clared as Billy came running toward them. 4'But Auntto says I put the tummies to my 'd's' on the wrong side," he said woefully, as he pointed a pudgy fore finger at the recalcitrant 'd's.' "Never mind, you'll soon get that straight," the man soothed as Billy trotted off again. "Hets so much stronger since we came over here," Mrs. Franklin re marked irrelevantly. "By the end of the summer he'll be a real little man again." s y "But I don't see how your husband can ever exist without you for three whole months," the man said siny Mrs. Franklin blushed and turned her head away. 'Oh. I know I've done something wrong." he declared apologetically. Do forgive me. "N-no, you haven't" the girl replied hesitatingly. "If you'll look at me. I'll be con vinced. I can'always tell in your eyes when you are hurt or happy or sad." Slowly, she raised her head and looked unwaveringly at him. "Now see?" she smiled. "Y-e-s," he answered rather lame ly, his heart thumping. After a while she excused herself and took Billy back to the hotel for his nap. Mantell's eyes followed the two as they walked across the lawn. "I don't believe she's so very much older than Billy." he said to himself, "but. Lord! why are all the nice women married? I know she was meant for me, and even if there is something wrong with her husband. I'll bet she loves him. She's Just the thick and thin, for better or for W.orse kind, and who wants to marry a girl that's already givert her heart to soma other chap?" He rose angrily and strode toward around all day and think how won- derful she'd be. in a little home all our own. I'll keep out of her way the whole week. No use burning your fingers for nothing." But Mantell's resolution was as wish washy and weak-backed most reso lutions and he broke it the next even ing. "Mrs. Franklin," he said and shifted "boyishly from one foot to the other. She could not help smiling ana "I know it's not so bad." "Well. well, would it be any harm for a -chap to ask you and Billy to go tq the movies tonight?" ."I don't think it would be a bit of harm." she laughed, "and I hope the chap' will do it because I know Billy and I would-enjoy lt. "Great!" he exclaimed, throwing his hat in tMf air. "Let's go." "You're nothing but a boy," she told him, her eyes sparkling. "I'm twtnty-nine years old the fourth of August, possess one Master's degree in architecture, an office, a sec ond nand typewriter and contracts for five different buildings," he told her in injured tones.' "That's quite a wonderful record, she admitted graciously, "and I take it all back. Now. I'll run and find Billy and my hat and we 11 go." That was the; beginning of a hilari ous round of movies, canoe rides and tennis sets, and all the time Manteli kRew that he was getting in deeper and Mrs. Franklin was wondering what the people at thehitel were thinking of her. but she didn't care so very much. It wasn't any harm going out with him and Billy and often Mr. Manteli took Billy on, a little Jaunt without her. He was evidently very fond of the child.

When a young man pops the question to you, and incidentally mentions that he is going- to take you to live with mother, and that she will love you like a daughter, say, "Nay, nay, Augustus," to him. Tell him that you will wait until be can build a nest of his own for you but that you are wise to the fact that no two women can love the same man, and try- to run the same house without coming to hate each other, and that you are not foolhardy enough to un dertake an experimei.t that only a couple of she angels could pull off. Having put a prudent and likable distance between you nd mother-in-law, put the good thought on her. Keep your mind fastened on her vir tues instead of going on' a still hunt for al of her faults. Suppose she is overflowing with an insatiable curios ity that makes her go poking and pry ing into your cupboards and garbage can, and ask you what everything cost. Just remember that the old havo no interests in life except thru their children, and that the smallest thing, that concerns her John is uf more importance to his mother than the rise and fall of nations. v Suppose mother-in-law is queer, and crotchety and narrow.1 Keep in mind that she didn't have your advantages when she was young, and that, after all there must be something very noble and fine in the woman who has raised up a boy to be the sort' of gen tleman your husband ia For it's a boy's mother who grounds him in his principle of truths and honor,- axidii. honesty, and chivalry. Then apply to mother-in-law an emollient made of equal parts of love and appreciation. It's wonderful how it works, and softens up the most stiff necked old lady. Ask her advice. vrherhor v-nn iatra if nr tint iit hpr whether you take it or not. Get her to explain to you her iethod of rear ing children, and putting up fruit, and making pie crust. Let her see" that you Admire her, and have an affection for herkand that you are grateful to her for Slav ing bestowed on you the greatest gift one woman can make another a good husband.. Follow Ahis treatment up with small doses of sympathtic understanding. Let mother-in-law see that you real ize that it is hard for her to have some other woman come first in the heart of the son who has been- all the world to her for twenty-five or thirty years. Above all make her know that you do no mean to take him from "her. Encourage your husband to go to see his mother, and leave them alone to gether often. There must be so much a mother wants toNsay to her boy only. After all when a man takes unto him self a wife he doesn't cease to be a son, you know, tho a great many silly brides seem to think so. If mother-in-law shows signs of developing a rising temperature, and begins to talk wildly about your usinc your best china every day, or buying a new gown, quiet her down with a iittle of the bromide of a soft answer instead of getting huffy about it; and telling her to mind her own business. Later on you'll know Just how she felt when you see your son's wfe wasting the money he, has toiled so hard to make. Apply these remedies for the mother-in-law trouble ad lib, as the doc tors' prescriptions say. And especially apply larger quantities of love, and patience, and sympathy to the situa tion. If -the shock of finding out that she really has a daughter-in-law who wents to be friends with her, and who shows hei some effeetion and appre ciation doesn't kill mother-in-law with surprise, you will have the old lady so hypnotized she will eat out of your hand, and believe you to be the marvel of the age.

JUST A GIRL By JANE PHELPS THE TItl.VI.S OF JOB-HUNTING. CHAPTER 31. I told my landlady I was going to leave, but pretended not to hear when she asked questions. I would leave no address. Every time I thought of my self in a servant's position, my cheeks burned like fire; and yet I was im mensely grateful to have obtained even that I don't believe there is anything ih the world that takes the coixceit out oat a person so quickly as hunting em ployment, especially if they are not experienced. All the time I was packing my trunk I was thinking of mother, and the way she managed her home. She I never had the brusque, almost insult ing manner toward her help that 1 had met with. -.1 went over the different places I had tried in my mind. "You are altogether too good look ing for a servant in a house where there are men," one woman said to me a fretful looking faded sort of a woman. "You'd better try to find a place with a widow, or single wo man." Another said: "I have a young man son. I want an oUef woman." I didn't see what my ae had to do with iif if I did my work well, and in desperation I told her so. She replied: "My boy is Just of an age when a designing woman might spoil his life." "But I am not a designing woman. I am only a poor girl searching em ployment," I pleaded. "You will not do." Another said to me: "You are too well dressed to be an honest girl. I might try you even with out references were it not for. that." She spoke kindly, and I explained without giving my own name. I had decided to use mother's maiden name because it would hurt no one and might save discovery of what I was doing that they were all I had, that mv father had died and left me with nothing but my clothes. Then she If your story is true, why not get me some-references from your old friends those who knew you during better days." "No. I can't do that!- I won't!" I exclaimed passionately "Oh, couldn't h e couiant et them know?" i Then I am afraid I can't take you," she said, and I pleaded no longer. I would not explain again. It did no good only made it harder for me. There were others. Some wanted only thoroly experienced help: others refused to talie mef some even would not see me when they found thru the other servants that I had no refer ences. So It was with thankfulness that I finally took the position with Mrs. Rush, tho she had seemed harsh and unkind. I was to receive 150. a month. Even before I reacheoVthe house the follow ing morning I had decided that I would save every penny of it. I would have about $15 left by the time I had paid for my room, and the expressman who had agreed to take my trunk to with my $15 added. I might, if condi- tions required,-go to some other city Chicago, perhaps. I had been there once with dad and mother, and I felt that I could easily lose myself, hide my identity, n the pushing crow4s. I had not been comfortable when in the street since the day I had seen Claudia and Jack. I had worn a thick veil every time I went out. Does it seem strange that X avoided all with whom I had been so intimate? Put yourself in my place. From af fluence to poverty from being able to do all the things they did, go where they went, be one of them, I was now earn enough to live upon, and later, when her little remnant was gone, to support my mother. That I couldn't marry-Jack Pryor, big-hearted fellow that he had proved himself to be, may also seem strange. my thiijh,i ...ai.,n west, we used occasionally to resort to Kantly because of the distance that method of defense against the as Back in my mind was the thought sauu of T,lntPr u was a Weii-recog-that if I saved that months salary. ,,.H .v.. right after dad left ua-the thought of b.f t.?r" ?n?PTS" Kenneth Lawrence came to me.

EVERT HOME SHOIXD HAVE A VICTROCA NOW IS THE TIME TO BVY ON SECOND THOUGHT BY JAY E. HOUSE. (From Philadelphia rablle Ledgu.) A man thinks and thinks, and then orders apple pie and a glass of milk. If a woman has the money, the men care very little whether it is ali mony or life insurance. "There are some things Mr. 'Bryan doesn't know." writes Arthur Bris bane, "and some of the things he knows are not true." As nearly everybody knows, Mr. Brisbane is our- favorite political seer. We make obeisance to his gift of pre cison. But there are times., pert', larly in ris discussions of Mr. Liri when we feel he is too cons. -.'vaTt-e of mind and ultra-cautious us to -words. "Developments." say the New York papers, "are foreshadowed inthe 1 we'l case. Except in one of its phnses, the Klwell case has ceased to intrigue us, but upon one pointw-o still maintain a lively curiosity. We refer, of course, to the lady described as a "mird-gutter blonde." -We fondly believed we had -scrutinized the blonde in all -of her vartoasi manifestations from the -taffy-colored to the copper-hued, but the mud- gutter" is a new type and one whicia we fain would study at closer range. "It is known," says a middle west newspaper in its comment upon a lo cal criminal mystery, "that he mar ried a woman some years his elder." Doubtless, in asking the question, we shsll reveal our utter ignorance, but what is the objection to a man marry ing a woman older than himself? We refer to the matter here because nothing seems to deeply to shock and offend the people, and there must be some reason for it.' Another of Mr. Bryan's mistakes, and it is the mistake made by nearly every man who makes a profession of goodness and morality, is that those who oppose prohibition and the Vol stead act necessarily are in the employ of the liquor interests. No good cause has any reason to fear -its enemies. Its orfly dangerous opponents are its fool friends. While our Mr. Palmer -may not be nominated for president, it is conceded he hollers "Wolf!" as ably as any man in public life. We should not (to so far as to say the story "Pants." projected In the current number of Collier's, intrigues us, but the artist who drew the pic tures has roused in us something akin to speculative interest. If we get what the author metans, "Goggles" arose after retiring and drawn irre sistibly to the slightly ajar door of his mother's room, across J.he hall overheard the conversation of which he was the chief subject. The artist depicts "Goggles" with his ear to the crack fully clothed and sartorially impeccable. Now what we wish to know, and we have a reason for asking, is whether "Goggless" slept in them. Has. we go on to say, has that old custom been revived by the oncoming generation? y In the old days on a Kansas claim; particularly when a whistling wind blew "birdshot" snow out of the north- plain!, country. But it would appear to be a too meticulous precaution in a steam-heated house. While it may be your disposition to accept it, we give Tittle credence to the story that women now are-paintlng dimples on their knees. We get about a good deal and we pay more than casual attention to the fashions. But we haven't seen a painted dimple yet. And the go farther. If the dimple were there, we probaTrty should be the first gent to observfe if!

Publication of the magazine of the General Federation of Women's Clubs has been suspended, it is reported by Mrs. Rebecca Wells Taylor of Lyons, president of the Kansas Federation of Women's Clubs, who attended the meeting of the General Federation board following the biennial conven tion of that body. Reasons for sus pension of publication are that it is too expensive, costing about $2,000 to publish an issue, and because not all the state federation supported the magazine. Only a few states have been in favor of its continuance. In the last few years, dissatisfaction has been felt over the magazine, many club women feeling that politics played too strong a part with the edi tors. For four years the magazine has been managed by the federation board of sixty members. At the time of the Des Moines convention, the magazine was in debt $14,500, Mrs. Taylor states.

He could not swim and went under only once. At least a dozen oth er persons were on the river bank a short distance away but all efforts to find Waudby failed. The best swim mer In the group was across the river. The Furgasons came down from Roy Crawford, "how far by road to Oklahoma City," and when informed, gasped out, "There is one cancellation." As the act was to start east again after Oklahoma City, there is every possibility that its "farthest west" ap pearance will be made in Topeka. The act Js one of the most novel of its kind.

The agility and in teliigence of the seal in "showing, up the others of the troupe furnishes some real comedy that makes the act more than worth while.
