7 "SHE IS DEAD-SEE YOU SOON" This Is George Cruse Telegram to Girl After Wife's Death. Relations Between Two Shown in Inquest Today. That poisoned candy may have caused the death of Kathleen Foley. 30, at her home, 1278 Lane street Friday night, was brought out this morning when a coroner's inquest was begun in the city court room in the court house. Dr. C. B. Van Horn, one of the phy sicians called to attend the dying girl, said he noticed her plush coat lying on the table in her home. In one of the pockets, he said, he found a plain sack containing a few pieces of choco late candy. The candy will be ana lyzed, officials said today. George Cruse, the girl's lover, was arraigned in the court of Tooeka to day on a charge of attempting to bribe Miss Foley not to testify against him at his preliminary hearing in Wich ita, where he is charged with wife murder. Cruse pleaded not guilty. He is confined in the Shawnee county Jail. Cruse was arrested by the Wichita police Saturday and was brought to Topeka Sunday by Sheriff Kobert Miler and Tinkham Veale, county at torney. He admitted to officers that he had given Miss Foley two blank checks and told her to fill them in to cover her expenses, it was said. The candy, officers believe, may hold considerable significance. That she wore her coat when she went to the home of Mrs. A. L. Whitcomb, 1212 West Thirteenth street, to stay all night, has been established. That the coat was found In her own home later was evidence that she wore it on her return trip at 11 o'clock that night, it was pointed out. The fact that the candy was contained in one of the pockets may be an explanation of her death, officers think. Tells of Wank Checks. John Foley, the dead girl's father, testified this morning that he was pres ent when George Cruse gave Kathleen a. check for S2" and also two blank checks to which he signed his name, telling her to make them out for what ever amount she needed. He insisted that she and her mother leave the city at once, repeating severs times that if she testified at his trial that it "would ine.in ninetv-nine years in the pen for me." Folev said: The father said this conversation took place in the office of the Wear. Sa ad company. 110 West Ninth street, where Kathleen "was em ployed ns bookkeeper.

Foley exnlained the fact that he did not open the letter which came ad-!rr-o-ed to him from Cruse the day of Kathleen's death by saying he had mnde an agreement with Cruse that the latter was to write to Kathleen l)U send the letter to her father. "He said he didn't want her to write to him or his mother." said Foley. "Alo. he said he didn't want to send her any letters, because they would 'f.ct onto him.' He snid he would send the letter to me. So when a letter came I took it to her. The second and lnnt letter came me Friday of the nisiht she died, and 1 knew it was for her. so I didn't open it.

Charles Owens and Wife Burned to Death on Farm. The charred bodies of Charles Oftens, 65, and his wife. Ruth Owens, 64, were found early this morning in their burning farm house near Berry ton. The house burned to the ground. Suspicion of foul play led Sheriff Rob ert Miler to return to the neighbor hood today to make a. more thoro ex- amination. Owens's body was found on a pallet on the kitchen floor where he had

been in the habit of sleeping because of a physical infirmity which made it painful for him to sleep in bed. The body of hi9 wife was found lying on jthe floor ear. the edge of her bed in toward the door opening into the kitchen. The remains of a dog, which it was said ordinarily slept near Owens, were found near his body. The bodies were burned almost to a crisp, according to Dr. H. L. Clark, county coroner, who, with Sheriff Miler. was called to the scene. The man's legs and arms were burned off and the bones were crumbling from the heat Blood on Pillow. A peculiar circumstance found by the authorities was the presence of a considerable amount of blood on the pillow upon which Owens's head was lying. A triangular piece or tne skull had been broken out, also, it was said. Owens was reputed to have always kept money in the house and it was only during the last year that he had been depositing money in the Berry- ton bank, it was declared. Whether he had considerable money on the premises at this time could not be de termined. The burning house was discovered about 2 o'clock this morning by Floyd Breeding and Dean Yingling, youths who live about two miles north of Berryton. They drove to Berryton in Yingling's buggy, where Breeding unhitched the horse and rode it to the fhome .of M. L. Tevis.'amlle and a half easj. of Berryton and less than a mile from' the Owens home." "He returned about 12:30 o'clock along; the-, road past tha'Owens home, hut saw" no in dication' of fire at that time, he told officers. The Owens house sets a quarter of a mile back from the roai. Saw Bodies Inside. Arriving in Berryton, he was hitch ing up the horse again when Tingling, who had been calling on Miss Bernice Detrich, pointed to a bright blaze to the north. The three young folks walked down the -railroad track to a point opposite the blaze and then crossed to the Owens house. The roof had fallen in and a part of the west wall had crumbled. The trio did not know that anyone, occupied the house. They had been there about twenty minutes and were looking in a window when a bench just inside the windqw crumbled and fell, revealing the form of Owens lying just beyond. The flesh was then burned from his face. Breeding ran back to Berryton, where he notified the telephone onerator. who in turn railed nth Santa Fe shop employe, living at 221 Branner street. A daughter, Mrs. Watson, lives at 709 Chestnut street. Mrs. Elixa Lynch, a sister of Mrs. Owens, lives at 920 East Eighth ave nue. Kept Money in Can.

City and county officials have failed to date to unearth one tangible clew to the iden tity of the murderer of the two Parma rural school teachers on a lonely road near the school. The two teachers were Miss Louise Wolf, 38, principal of the nigh school, and Miss Mabel Foote, 24. Miss Wolf was a graduate of Ohio State univer sity and had been in charge of Parma high school for the last two years. Miss Foote was a graduate of Baldwin-Wallace college and, after teach ing in primary schools for two years, took up her duties at Parma high school at the beginning of the Septem ber term. The murder was classed by police as the most brutal crime committed in the county within memory of pres ent officials. The murderer wielded several saplings which he had cut from thick woods which flank both sides of Bean road. NEW ATPYkGEN Harry M. DaughertyOwlu Suc ceed. Palmer.

Vigorous action by ihe Industrial court in connection with the refusal of Howat and other district union offi cials to end the strike, with the cause of the strike removed, is anticipated here. No members of the court were here today but from Topeka the court was In touch with the situation. i Reports gathered by the operators association showed a general resump tion of work at the mines thruout the Kansas field. Fewer than a third of the mines were operated last week, due to the "work refrain" of miners during the court proceedings, which Included the trial and conviction of Howat and five other union officials charged with contempt of court and their sentence to a .year ln Jail and the arrest of Howat and August' Dorchy, district vice president, on a (kviuiiik. .Ml 1,-lO.lS 01 Hie uiain hi violating tne Indus trial court law In Cherokee county. .L. Mandatory Injunction Next. The next step by the Kansas court of industrial relations. In cape Howat maintains his attitude of refusing to order the .Mackie minors back to work, will be a mandatory injunction. Tomorrow being a holiday, the court does not contemplate furtheV action in the matter until Wednesday morning. A mandatory Injunction, it was explained, would piece Howat in the same position before the Crawford county district court that he occupied In Indianapolis when he refused to acknowledge a mandatory injunction issued by Judge Anderson in the fed eral court, to call off the miners' strike. At that time he was sent to Jail. Information obtained at the Indus trial court here todav was to the ef fect that the $220 was placed in trust in the hrnds of Mrs. Burns, clerk of the Crawford county district court, with instructions to deliver It to Mishmash. Altho not empowered to deliver it thru the Operators' associa tion, as demanded by Howat. she may deliver it to Mishmash wherever she sees fit. or thru any bank, it was ex plained.

As a measure of retaliation the state owned and operated bank of North Dakota today began accepting private ac counts in competition with all the pri vately owned banks of the state. This move was threatened when the State Bankers' association at the last elec tion endorsed laws initiated against the state owned bank. At the same time, it was announced branches of the bank will be onened in fifty-three counties of the stae to make the competition more extensive. Interest rates to be paid on deposits will compare favorably with the most liberal institutions. Heretofore the state owned bank has accepted only puoiic luna aeposixs. IS FIRST" CAR FREE CORX.

Some of the later shipments will be sent to China. ON SEVENTH WEEK Legislature Reaches Night Ses sion Stages at Last. Only Three More Weeks to Clean Up the Calendars. BIG MEASURES ARE IN DANGER Bills Not Sidetracked Are Passed Along to Seriate. Administration Issues Are Still in Creative Cares. Starting today on the seventh week of the 1921 session, the Kansas legis lature prepared to take such measures as the revision committees might pre scribe. With perhaps three weeks of work remaining, the lawmakers are leaving their affairs almost entirely in the hands of the calendar com mittee members. A resolution fix ing time for final adjournment Is cer tain to make its appearance sometime this week probably in the next two or three days. With the opening of the seventh week of the session legislators pre pared for the long, hard strenuous hours which mark the closing days ot every assembly. The solons will this week begin night sessions In an ef fort to clean the calendars and dispose of the more important measures for consideration. Administration Measures. Interest 4i the closing of the session Isn't limited to the mere four walls of the legislative halls. Down in Governor Allen's office there is con cern regarding, a number of adminis tration bills which have neither passed nor come within hailing distance of a roll call. The seventh week started with the compensation bills tied up in committees, the dormitory bill but half way thru the legislature, farm ten antry sidetracked and the rider bills surrounding divorcing of the industrial court in serious trouble in the senate. The agricultural-livestock consolida tion plan seems to hatch only trouble and sorrow and administration propos als for new taxation measures and another taxation amendment are due to encounter bad weather once they start on a trip thru the two houses. "Buck" to Senate. Last week the house checked two big problems up to the senate for final settlement. In fact the house is rap idly learning the art of sidestepping problems by giving the senate a final guess on the trouble bills. And the senate with its free and easy manner of refusing to worry, has several times caused near apoplexy by showirmr an utter lack of responsibility in stopping V. 1.111.. just now the soldier and the co operative banking questions are in the hands of the upper house. The bonus plan went thru the house with banners and flags and music. It checks a twenty-five million dollar bond issue up to the people next year. The house didn't want to stand in the way of any guessing contest and gave the senate a chance to decide. It showed supreme confidence in the' decision of the iear voter and favored permitting fersens participating in the next election set tling; any difference which? might eSfcg Co-operative Banking. Co-operative banking is also a hard nut for th"'"sehate. In spite of the overwhelming farmer vote In the house, the -new bank measure passed' the lower body without a vote to spare and only after a thirty minute ca.ll of the house. Weakness which the house showed in the final hour Is not the evidence of fine encourage ment to the senate which friends of the bill had expected from the house. In consequence supporters of the co operative banking plan" will keep a pulmotor within easy reach when the bill comes out on the floor of the sen ate if re- ever comes from the com mittee. Appropriation Hearings. None of the big appropriations are thrjir the two houses. It is probable they will have a hearing soon. Yet the judicial, executive, educational and penal bills have not coma from the house- ways and means committee. The senate committee has made greater progress and will probably pass its original bills before the house gets into action on the big money problems. There is a wide difference between the houses as to appropriations. In consequence there is little question but that the question of allowances to the various Institutions and departments will be settled by the. conference com mittees. Both houses met thi morning- and prepared for an all-day session pos" sibly a night meeting. Sessions will also be held Tuesday, according to the belief of legislative leaders. It is prob able, tho, that the two houses will merely recess when they quit work to night and that Tuesday's holiday work will be in committee of the whole and shown on the official records as a por tion of today's activities.

JND GRIN Vice-President Declares Pros perity Is en RouteT Everyone Must Get Into Har. ness and Help Reconstruction. Boston, Feb. 21. Work Is the one big thing needed to restore normal prosperity. Vice President-elect Calvin Coolidge declared In an interview to day. "We must work and smile," he said. "The bottom of the depression has been reached and we are on the road to progress.

"We speak of an era of prosperity but that prosperity cannot be brought about by a mere change of adminis tration alone, but only with the help of the people."

He hopes that he can become an active and vital force. "It is not for ma to say what I shall do," he remarked.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL-MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 21, 1921- An Open Letter Should the people of a city rule, or be ruled? i Are the people of Topeka exercising their right to" rule as was intended by the founders of the constitution of the United States? Why should city execu tives disregard this inherent right of the people? There are three major of fices in Topeka which are of vital importance to every man and woman. Our laws vest in the mayor the power to appoint these officers. Is this in accord with the de sires of the thinking man and woman who, under the present system, have no voice in naming these execu tives? Even the most casual ob server cannot fail to realize that these appointments are ordinarily made under the pressure of political obliga tion. Hence the public must accept what is handed it frequently to its sorrow. In my candid opinion, the civic bodies of Topeka, rather than a single indivjid i ual, are better equipped to name the chief of police. It is my judgment that the To peka members of the Shaw nee County Bar association know best who is qualified to be city attorney and po- lice judge. And it is upon these principles that I come before the people of Topeka v as a candidate for mayor. I come unfettered by obliga- tions for political assistance and I mean to remain that way. My only obligations shall be to the voters who elect me. It is not with any desire to side-step the responsibili ties of appointments that I make this request of our civic bodies and attorneys, but because I contend that greater efficiency and econ omy in city government can be obtained by this method rather than by the domina tion of an individual paying off his pre-election promises. If elected mayor, I will ap point for these offices the executives named in the manner explained above, thus giving the citizens of Topeka a government by the people. Why should not every candidate for mayor name the men, if he intends to ap point them himself, whom he has in mind for these offices, in order that the vot ers may not be kept in the dark until after election? If you believe in the prin ciples I have explained, I will appreciate your vote at the primary, March 28, and at the general election there after. Respectfully, C. B. HYPES. (Political Advertisement) VILLARD IS READY Big Jess Anxious to Sign Articles With Dempsey. Visits Topeka Saturday en Boute to Montana. "Just as aoon aa Tex Hickard puts up a $2a,000 guarantee on my fight with Dempsey, I'm ready and anxious to sign articles for the battle," said Jess Willard Saturday. Jess was in Topeka on business. He was on his way to Montana in connection with some oil interests in that state. All I want is an iron clad guaran tee-that Dempsey will fight, and I'm ready to go in the ring with him," said Willard. "Have, you any preference on what day the fight is to be held, and where?" he was asked. "Well the fight is going to be held on Labor Day," said Willard. "and I don't care where. The only thing I'm going to insist on is that it be held outside Madison Square Garden in New York. This place isn't big enough to hold the crowd. I want them to build an arena some place, and a big one, so all the folks that want to see the fight, can get in." Jess seems to be of the opinion that he can whip Dempsey. The big Kan san stands firmly on two feet, hands in his pockets, and looks you straight in the eyes as he savs so. "AH this stuff written about the wav I lost the fight thru lack of road work is all bunk. I don't want any road work. Wouldn't take any if I fight tne rest or my life. I keep in good condition all the time, by workouts at home, and simple physical exercises. Willard In Fine Shape. Willard does not have the appear ance of corpulence. Altho the writer reit like a pigmy talking to a giant it was not a giant of overhanging rolls of fat on a huge frame. The famous Willard stomach still retains its straight even side view. No bay win dow projection a hindrance to the vision. Yes, Jess has all the ear-marks of a perfect condition, even to his old elastic walk, something unusual in a man or his weight. How about the ease with which Dempsey knocked you out for the count at Toledo. Jess?" he was asked "I'll tell you about that, he Ju3t clipped me at the right time,'' Jess came back. "I might have gotten that clip In the first fight I ever had. You can't tell when your opponent is going to sup one over on you. Don t ever believe it was because I wasn't in con' dition. My condition was all right. His punch in the right place, early in the fight, did the business. I didn't have a chance after that.". Can Fight Anytime, Says K earns. Then here comes a fresh, hot story from iNew York, quoting Jack Kearns. Dempsey's manager, as saying that Jess caa have the fight at any time witnin sixty or seventy days. It Jess wants a chance at the champion, he can have it within sixty or seventy days." Kearns states. Dempsey is not running away from the proposition, but if Willard wants the fight before the Dempsey-CarDen tier battle, he has to take it within the three months' time. Of course, Willard may wish to wait until after the carpentier fight. But I want to say emphatically that Dempsey is not afraid to meet Willard or anybody else. We'll meet him all right, when ever he puts up the forfeit that he Is quoted as saying he is ready to put up. I'll put a forfeit of 150,000 along with it, and guarantee Willard $50,000 for his end, if he will put up a $25,000 forfeit for his appearance at the fight.' It looks as tho the fight may be ar ranged, according to Kearns and Wil lard. Their statements tally to a great extent. Willard seems willing so does Kearns. The time for the fight may enter into the arrangements. however. Willard wants to fight in the open. In an arena, on Labor day, while Kearns insists on a match with in seventy days, unless Willard prefers to wait until after the Carpentier. Dempsey fight. With Willard going to Montana things will probably remain at a stand. still until his return. The public has not given up hope or seeing the two in the ring again, however. COLLEGE BOXERS TO MEET.

Harry Snyder, amateur, Kansas City, won the international wing shot championship when he defeated twenty-seven en trants in the feature event of the in ternational interstate tournament with a 9 6 score. DISCHARGES ARE REPRODUCED, Photographic Copy Is Made by Adju tant General.' More than 6,000 discharges of -Kan sas ex-service men nave been repro- duced by the photo-copying machine in the office of C. I. Martin, adjutant general. Two copies are made of each discharge. One is furnished to the soldier for his use. and the other re tained in the files of the adjutant gen- erals office for permanent record. Upon return'from service In Europe numerous Kansans presented their dis charges to registers of deeds request ing that their discharges be recorded in order that true copies might be ob tained in case the originals are lost. The attorney general rendered an opinion that recording of the dis charges in the office of register of deeds was not authorized by law. The 1919 legislature then passed a bill, proposed by Adjutant General Martin, providing for filing of copies of discharges in the adjutant general's office. Approximately one out of ten service men so far have taken ad vantage of the law.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets the sub stitute for calomel are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the Hver is almost instantaneous. These little olive colored tablets are th result of Dr. Edwards' determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. The pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have na bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take bold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the Hver. at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel Let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. Headaches, "dullness and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets when you feel "logy"and "heavy." They "clear' clouded brain and "perk up" the spirits. 15c and 30c. T FUSS WITH MUSTARDPLASTERS!

Maskln, Director, Washing ton, I. Colonel Bryan has undertaken a re organization of the Democrat party. But -what's the use? The Democrat party, of course, can't get along with out Mr. Bryan, but neither can it, get along- with him, unless it give him his way. When he has been the party candidate it has polled a big vote. In 1894, when it would neither nominate him nor a man of his selection, it was overwhelmingly defeated. In 1912 it permitted him to name the candidate, and won. In 1914 he pursued a pol icy of non-interference and the man whom he had placed in the presidency was re-elected by a narrow margin. If Bryan have plans for the party's future it may be well to permit him to carry them out. It can get no where without him. An appropriation of $1,450,000 for prohibition enforcement until next July 1 has been recommended to the senate by the appropriation commit tee. Should we then subtract this amount from the total estimated sav ings of the country thru prohibition T "The railways have presented a largo amount of evidence showing that the present national agreements. rules and working conditions causa much inefficiency and large waste," says the Kailway Age. "The spokes men of the labor unions have not pre sented a scintilla of evidence or a sin gle argument either to show that these arrangements actually promote efficiency or that they.do not promote inefficiency. The only definite answer they have made Is that the railways In seeking to set aside the agreements, rules and working conditions estab lished under government control are trying to break down the labor organ iryuions." The public is less interest ed in what either side is trying to do than it Is in what both sides are do ing. What it wants is results in the form of adequate service at a reason able price. NORTH DAKOTA EXPERIMENT. 'Another example of theV evil results following governmental meddling with business is afforded in North Dakota. That state's adventure In the banking business up to date has amounted almost to a disaster. "The state as a political unit is Insolvent," says a Minneapolis dispatch to the Wall Street Journal. The state owned Bank of North Dakota is unable to meet its obliga tions. Its paper is discredited In Minneapolis, St. Paul and Chicago, and there seems to be nothing for it to do but to confess its insolvency and liquidate. Should the bank lnsist,on the repay ment of Its deposits in subsidiary banks of the state, as certain political influences there are demanding. It probably will compel the suspension of anywhere from 100 to ISO of the commonwealth's smaller banks, with widespread loss and business paraly sis. North Dakota entered the banking business without knowledge of bank ing. It put a political board instead of bankers in charge of the Bank of North Dakota's affairs, and something like financial chaos has resulted. State deposits and county deposits of funds, certain to be called for with in a few months, were put out on long-time farm loans or were turned over to smaller state banks to be used in farm financing. When the farm ers refused to sell their grain and pay their bank obligations; the supply of money for state bills was soon ex hausted. Today, it is reported, the state is paying no warrants except for the maintenance of penal and charitable institutions. Even the salary war rants of the state legislators cannot be cashed and state paper of all kinds Is refused by banks outside the common wealth. Conduct of any business by govern ment is bad enough when carried on in the interest of the whole people, but when it is maintained in the in terest of a class, it is certain to prove disastrous. Farmers should slick to farming and let bankers do the banking. MORE WATCUFCL WAITING. President Wilson has found an imi tator in the person of President Obre gon, who announces that he will pur sue a" policy of "watchful waiting" in the matter of the relations between Mexico and the .United States. It seems that this' is a game at which two can play. In the long run, says the W oilman Review, any attempt to fix a policy toward Mexico will rest upon the atti tude of public opinion in both coun tries. Washington may accord rec ognition to the Obregon regime, our bankers may extend loans, and our commercial Interests may establish close trading relations with business men in the southern republic. But what we need more than anything else is reciprocal sympathy between the peoples of both countries. Such an understanding will dictate political and even financial policies to an un believable degree, f Mexico's condition today is little bet ter in some respects than that of some of the impoverished nations of Eu rope. She has been torn by nearly ten years of Internecine warfare. Pov erty and starvation wreck h"er lower classes. She has two great elements in her favor. -One is the present indi cation -of high-minded leadership un der Obregon and his Immediate asso ciates. With our aid they may be able to give the stricken country the sta bility it so sorely needs. The other element is the boundless wealth in natural resources petro leum, metals, timber, agriculture, tropical fruits and food products, hemp and num-.rous other raw ma terials. Under intelligent organization and wise administration Mexico, in a decade, could contribute more to the world's needs than any other country of similar size. The committee of seventeen named at a convention of farmers last July to plan a marketing system for cereal crops is making progress in the right direction. Creation of a national grain marketing association, con trolled by producers, which would op erate a national sales agency and di rect the course of crops from the farm to the ultimate buyer, is proposed In the plan of the committee adopted at its meeting in Kansas City. It Is mod eled on the lines of the fruit growers' association of California. It is in line with what The State Journal has urged for months. DID WK VOTE IN TAIN? One of the leading issues in the last campaign, and one to which the busi ness element of the country responded strongly, consisted of protests against the paternalistic policies of the pres ent administration and its tendency to regulate or control the operations of private enterprise. Much empha sis was laid on the palsying effect of bureaucratic methods, the inevitable incident of waste, the invitation to of ficial corruption, and the minimum of benefit accruing to the public. It comes, therefore, as a surprise to see the majority party, or some of Its leading representatives in the sen ate, lending championship to certain ideas so recently condemned. For in stance, we are Informed that the coal mining industry cannot be competent ly or satisfactorily handled unless it is placed under government control. The situation has grown too compli cated for administration by those who are actively engaged in the business and relief can be obtained only by creating a bureau which shall super vise and direct its operations. Of course, everybody knows that this will merely result in a tangle of red tape to fetter the free exercise of Individual talent and that coal will be higher and more scarce than ever. Another measure, which was re cently condemned by the chamber of commerce of the state of New Tork, is the senate bill which proposes a commission to regulate the packing industry of the United States.- This means more red tape, more cost of government and higher meat bills. No doubt. Says the Wollma.n Re view, these and similar proposals now pending are fostered by men who have the interests of the country at heart. Good intentions, however, it adds, have been responsible for more bad legislation in this country than all the knavery that has been at tempted. In the administration of large en terprises, such as coal mining and supplying of meat products on a scale of magnitude abuses arise. That they are more numerous in the industries mentioned than elsewhere is a matter open to doubt. In the packing Industry we have a wide and efficient distribution of products. They are handled at less cost than would b e possible with smaller units and they are sold on a closer margin of profit than any of the staple articles consumed by the community today. A ready market is provided at all times for livestock on the hoof. The system is not perfect, of course.- That does not mean that the government must step in and reg ulate all the abuses out' of it. Pack ers are human, and they are respon sible to public sentiment. When pro tests arise they will be quick enough to apply the remedy and moreover, they will know better how to do it than a commission composed of "de serving" supporters 6f any party that happens to be in power. TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL Information Bureau FREDERXO 9, HASH TV. Director. Washington, I. C. NEW PAN-AMERICAN PROJECTS. Washington, D. C, Feb. 18. If a boy in Mexico or Chile or the Argen tine or any other Latin-American country wants to come to the United States for his education, the Pan American Union here will make all ar rangements for him. It can very like ly obtain him a scholarship, it will find work for him after his graduation so that he may get practical experience to round off his education, and in gen eral it will act as his friend and ad viser. Likewise, if a boy in the United States wants to go to a Latin-American country for his education in order to learn the language and the laws of that country, the Pan-American Union will give him assistance in finding what he wants. In a word, the Union is going to facilitate in every possible way the exchange of students among the American republics, because it believes that In this way more than any other a real Pan-American spirit of friendly understanding is built up. In fact, the value of the plan has long since been demonstrated. The best friends the United 8tates has in Latin-America are the numerous na tive graduates-, of Cornell, Tale, the University of Pennsylvania, and other American colleges, who are scattered all thru Latin-America, from Mexico to the Argentine. Thruout those coun tries there are United States univer sities clubs, made up of the alumni of American universities, some of whom are natives of the United States and some of the countries in which the club is located. Needless to say, these clubs are cen ters of Pan-American friendship There are today about 5,000 students from Latin-America in schools and colleges in the United States. Natural ly the number of Americans who go to South America to study is much smaller, but the Union emphasizes the value of that side of the movement, too. There are great opportunities in South America, and the young man who has studied there is in a good position to take advantage of them. For example, a graduate of an Ameri can law school went to Rio de Janeiro to study law. He became consul gen eral for the United States, but later gave up that work to open a law of fice. He now has a large business and employs several assistants, and is a legal writer of some note In Brazil. Movement Started in Mexico. The influx of students from the South to our universities has been greatly stimulated by the American Chamber of Commerce of Mexico City, which has a representative, Mr. O. W. E. Cook, in this country to induce American universities to grant scholar ships to Latin American students and American industrial firms to give them jobs In their chosen lines. He has had great success in both. The way of the Latin-American students is being made easier and easier. He is taken care -of, in many cases, from the time he lands here until he is ready to return. And he return a booster for the United States. The exohange of students is one of the new activities of the Pan-American Union under its new director. Dr. Leo. S Rowe. Dr. Rowe has two main plans. One ot these Is to depart mentalize the work of the Pan-Ameri- can Union, so that it may work more effectively along special lines, such as education and sanitation. The other la to rnaki the Pan-American Bulletin a medium to carry practical informa tion to the Latin-American, countries' as well as a message of friendship. In addition to his plans for a special department devoted t$ education Dr. Rowe has already well' under way a department of sanitation. This is to act as a clearing house for all new discoveries and researches along the lines of sanitation and hygiene, so that these may be made immediately avail able all over the western hemisphere instead of waiting upon the slow process of translation and transmission thru ordinary channels. For instance, the United States pub lic health service has recently discov ered, by its experiments in Hawaii, what seems to be a specific cure for leprosy. Chaulmoogra oil has long been recognized as having value in the treatment of leprosy, but it has been aimcuit to find a derivative of the oil which the patient could assimilate. This at last seems to have been found. Doctor Rowe s new department of sanitation will undertake to place the results of these experiments in the hands of Latin-American govern ments some of which face very se vere leprosy problems. Arrangement's have also been made for some of these governments to receive small quanti ties of the improved oil. Works Better Than Words. That practical assistance in solving their problems is what many of the Latin-American peoples most appre ciate seems to be the basic conviction Of Doctor Rowe's ndmlnilttratlnn. This is an idea which seems also to be entertained by many other students of our relations with Latin-America. It has long been our custom to send diplomatic missions on battleships to the southern republics. These have always been received with the great est courtesy; speeches expressing the most profound friendship in the most eloquent terms have been exchanged, and Innumerable toasts have been drunk to the future amity of the west ern hemisphere. At the same time, our actual diplomatic and military maneuvers in Latin-America have not always confirmed in the minds of the southern peoples the impression of disinterested friendship which our words have conveyed. No doubt administrative blunders are inevitable in a country which changes its management of affairs ev ery little while, but it is hard to heal gunshot wounds with words. On the other hand, practical constructive help in sanitation and education does tend to soothe outraged feelings and restore shaken confidence. Doctor Rowe proposes to make the Pan-American Bulletin. la at least half its issues, the medium of prac tical information. Whole numbers will be devoted to such subjects as care of children, dairy farming, home sanitation, and the like. The very best work of American government departments and other institutions in this country will be translated into Spanish and Portuguese and thus made immediately available-all over South America and the Caribbean world.

Elspeth Drake's sharp eyes watched Lieut: Thome's straight young form as he wandered about her little specialty shop, and she noted his stern face as he bent over the hand-painted valen tines set out on the tables. She had known him since he was a small boy in his first knickerbockers, trudging off to her sister's private school for children; she had watched him grow up to young manhood; worried about him when he fought in France, cried when he came home safe and sound and now she worried about his love affairs. As for Lieut, Richard Thome, he only knew and respected Elspeth as the elderly sister of his old teacher, and he had wondered why some nice chap hadn't married her, she was so sweet and pretty, even in middle age. Elspeth saw him frowning at a heap of dainty missives, picking up first one and then another and then dis carding each one. At last be selected a beautiful heart-shaped one pale pink, with a trailing spray of forget-me-nots, tiny letters of gold "Will you be my valentine?" a wee painting of a cavalier laying his broken heart at the door of some unseen lady in one corner. There was a great bow of pink ribbon on this valentine, and Richard lifted one corner of the rib bon and wrote something with his fountain pen. Elspeth thought it looked like. "Will you forgive me?" She watched his Intent face as he addressed the big embossed envelope she gave him. affixed a stamp; and then paid her, with some absent minded remark about the fine weather. Elspeth murmured assent really, it was snowing hard that night! He went out of the shop and- stood on the front step with the envelope balanced uncertainly in his hand. She knew that he was in doubt whether to mall It or not. Suddenly he came to a decision. He tore the envelope across and across again and, re-entering the shop, dropped the pieces on the coun ter. "Please put those in your fire, Miss Elspeth," he requested. "I have changed my mind," and before she could utter a protest he had vanished, the door closing behind him with a finality that seemed to say: "In this way closes the love of Richard Thorne and Aline Allen." "Dear heart!" fluttered Elspeth, not luninir the valentine at all. as she gathered up the torn fragments and took them to her desk behind the screen in the corner. "What has that reckless boy been doing now?" She pulled out a paste pot and a roll of gummed tissue for mending torn pa per, and she spread the torn envelope and the jagged pink heart pieces be fore her. Then she peered into the pastepot as if for- inspiration, and not finding it therein, took counsel of her own heart, whichbeat high in sym pathy for all lovers, be they young pr old. "It may be dishonorable to put this envelope together, hut it's human," she muttered as she moistened and stroked the gummed tissue. At last the envelope, which looked like a re constructed picture puzzle, lay before her with the address standing out boldly enough in Lieutenant Thome's handwriting, and she shamelessly read it: "Miss Aline Allen, 17 Ivy street, city." "I felt it was for that poo- child.? soliloquized Elspeth. "I knew they had quarreled weeks and weeks ago and he wants to make up, only he's too proud. Well, I don't look any thing like a cupld. being too old and sedate, but it's never too late to mend," she chuckled. "Aline'S going to have that valentine. It's hers he bought at for her and I expect he's sorry now that he destroyed it." Elspeth, you're lost to all sense of honor, but you're going to patch up that poor heart and send it along so she gets it in the morning." Elspetch patched up the torn heart with the delicate bits of tissue, smoothed out the rumpled satin bow, guiltily read the plea for pardon, in closed it in the mended envelope, put that one within a larger one, penciled that one, "Destroyed by mistake," and inclosing all in a very large, for midable envelope addressed it to Aline and personally mailed it in the post box at the corner. Then she returned to the business of selling valentines to lovers and would-be lovers, to married sweethearts and embryo sweethearts, and to lending books from her circu lating library to old folks who like to read about love and young folks who wanted adventure stories, but there must be a bit of love in all of them. Elspeth was very happy that night and the next morning she was happier still in the knowledge that Aline would get the torn valentine, would under stand, and communicate with Richard Thorne. Things did not happen exactly as Elspeth had planned. About nine o'clock, shortly after the shop opened for business, the door opened and in marched Lieut. Thorne. He was very stern looking this morn ing, tho he vouchsafed a faint wander about the tables and look at the valen tines that were leftr-at last he turned to the quivering little proprietor. "You, don't happen to have another valentine like the one I bought last night, do you Miss Elspeth T It was all pink and blue er you know," he explalned- !That was the last one, Richard," she said soberly, tho her eyes danced. "Here's a pretty blue one, tho." "No no she would like pink with a touch of blue that is, I would like it, you see," he floundered, turning very red. "That was the only one it was the prettiest one I had." "I was a fool to tear it tip." he said dismally enough, when the door opened and who should come in but Aline Al len. She did not see Richard, who dropped down to a seat on the huge high-backed settle and was quite hid den from viewf It is safe to say that Lieut. Richard might have practiced this maneuver in the trenches a least it served him well now. Aline went directly to Miss Elspeth and laid the patched valentine on, the counter. "Miss Elspeth," she said in a shak ing voice that was near to tears.- "I received this valentine this morning please tell me if it is a Joke it was bought here, I know, and I want so much to believe it was sent in. good faith but -why is it torn -and mended?" -i Elspeth came around the corner and put her arms around Aline. "Dear child," she said, tenderly, "it was bought yesterday by a soldier; he had been decorated for bravery in France, and yet he was afraid to send It to you after all and so destroyed it, giv ing me the pieces to burn." Elspeth caught a glimpse of Lieut. Thome's handsome head peering over the back of the settle and she went Off wickedly. "Faint heart ne'er won fair lady, you know, and for the good of the service I just patched it and sent it along and he came in this morning and asked for another oners" Swift footsteps crossed the floor and Aline gave a frightened, blissful cry as a khaki-clad arm gath ered her in. and another long arm en circled Elspeth and brought her to see their happy, glorified faces. "You blessed woman," breathed the lovers, and Elspeth declares that mo ment was the nearest she ever casne to peering into earthly paradise. (Copyright, 1921, by the McClure News psper Syndicate.) Dorothy Dix Talks 1 WW DO&OTHY MX VasSars Highest M4 Weassa The Soft Answer 2. There is nothing else in the" world so true as that It takes two make a quarrel. Somebody must add fuel to the fire of your anger, 6r else it goes out. It takes the classAf antagonistic points of view to. make an argument interesting enough to go on with. You can't put any pep into your abuse of an individual who admits the justice of your criticism, and asks your advice about how to profit by your superior wisdom. And here is where the soft answer gets in its fine work. You can fight those who fight you. You can curse i those who curse you. You can get even with those who do eou a bad trick. But you are helpless before those who are gentle, and reasonable, and anxious not to offend you. All you can do is to be ashamed of your self, and be good friends with them. Haven't you seen things like this? j An angry customer comes charging robbed, and the wrong goods sent to her, and that she is going to sue for damages, and never buy a nickel's worth in that store again as long as she lives. One of two things happens. She gets hold of a clerk who meets her abuse with abuse, and tells her that she is a welcher who buys one thing and wants to bring it back and ex change it for something else, and that she is a liar, and a tight-wad, and the store doesn't want such trade as hers, and the woman goes away angrier than ever, and the store makes an enemy and loses a patron. Or the furious woman is taken in hand by a clerk who returns a soft answer, and assures her that if any mistake was made, the store is more than glad to remedy it, and that it regrets any inconvenience she has been put to, and desires above everything to keep her trade, and the woman's wrath sizzles out like a spent sky rocket, and she remains to buy, and is forever afterwards the store's best advertisement of the shop, as a place where they always treat you 'airly. And do you not recall neighbors to whom you went to quarrel about their chickens getting into your garden, and ended vp by helping to build a good fence, and with whom you 'were like brothers and sisters ever after because thc-y said you were right, and it was perfectly outrageous for people to keep chickens in a suburb, but their little Doly was so fond of her hens? And what business man has not em ployees, whom he has been on the point of firing for ten years, but never does because they always receive his wrath with meek apology for their shortcomings, instead of telling him that they do quite as good work as they are paid for? There' isn't any family spat that can't be strangled at birth. with a few gentle words, and there is no argu ment that can't be stopped at its very beginning with the simple, "Perhaps you are right." Which commits you to no agreement, but leaves you per fectly neutral on the subject. There is no criticism that will not become a boomerang that turns and slays the one who hurled it, if it is met by the gentle admission that one is not perfect, and will try to improve. The soft answer is not only the way to peace and prosperity. It's the most scathing repartee, the bitterest ar raignment that human lips can utter, and the most unanswerable argument Try it.

When- added to the amount Dick owed, the $1,000 he owed Burns, and some small amounts, gambling debts, the total was astound ing to us. "We never can pay it, never," Dick moaned, his head in his hands, "ph, why did you Interfere with me last night, 'Nan? You'd be better off without me." "You would always have been bet ter off without me. Dick" I replied. "I urged you to speculate because of my wicked desire for clothes. It Is clothes that have ruined us, Dick, just clothes things that wear out. or go out of style almost as soon as they are purchased! I am so ashamed. I think I was insane as you were when you tried to take your life. Why Dick, it seems as if I would never care for any thing in the world again if only I can have you and Junior. I hate clothes! I hate them as much as I loved them! They almost lost me you!" I burst into a wld fit of weeping. I had borne up as long as was possible. Dick comforted me, holding me in his arms, taking equal blame with me for everything that had happened. "I shall stay home today." It was Saturday. "You telephone I am not well. God knows it is the truth! And we will find out exactly where we stand and what we can do." I did as he requested. They were very nice about it at his office and said for him to stay at home by ail means If he was not well. About 11 o'clock the telephone rang. I answered. "Someone wants to talk to you, Dick." I knew from the conversation that it was Mr. Burns. Dick, if possible, grew whiter than he' already was. "It is impossible, Burns, I shall have to have time I can't do it! You must know I am more anxious than you can be." He listen ed. Then with a puzzled look on his face said:- "No, my wife cannot pay it. She has no' money. I'll see you Monday. "I wonder what he meant? Sup pose he thought you had money.". I knew what he meant, and was sorely tempted to tell Dick the whole degrading story. Then better, more unselfish thoughts came to me. There could be nothing gained. It would only make it still harder for Dick. I was fairly sure Burns would say nothing of his failure to lure me from my husband. He. had offered to lend Dick that money to get even. We spent the entire day going over our accounts, and planning what to do. I kept nothing from Dick, not one single thing. We had come to a point where a perfect understand ing was absolutely necessary. And while it almost broke my heart to add to his anxiety, I had lost, all desire, all ability to deceive him. "I almost lost him," rang thru my mind, -'I almost lost him!" As I have said before in telling my sordid, pitiful story (this part of it) you may think It strange that I could do as I did it. I -loved my husband. What I did, was entirely apart from my love for him. I never, until that horrible awakening, thought of my ex travagance as affecting in any way our relations as man and woman That was a thing apart. He was my man, the only one I ever had, ever could love. I was his woman, his choice of all the girls he had known. Now I realized how I had tried that love of his, how I had almost if not quite ruined our lives. Now I must make amends; must win back his trust. He still cared for me and It made me very humble as he told me that he loved me. I recalled how, at first and for many months, Dick had absolutely refused to let me run in debt. refusedto speculate. Then I also recalled that he had said the' gambling Instinct had always been in him, that it had been hard to gam ble in moderation so he had never gambled at all. I had urged him on, laughed at his fears. What a bad, bad wife I had been in every way! But when my tears dried and I at tempted to tell him so, he put his hand over my mouth and would not listen. "We will try and pull out together. Nan. Little Nan!" He had not called me that for many, many months, and my tears flowed again at the tender inflection and the old loving expres sion. "We will pull together!" I returned when I could speak. "It will not be trying, but accomplishing." "A born optimist." He tried to smile at me. But it was a failure. Neither of us felt like smiling. We owed over $3,800 exclusive of what was due on the lot. That we would sell at once. "I have only made two payments. If we can get that back it will pay Mrs. jSray. She must be paid first of all. They can- 111 spare that amount. And they are old. Gray doesn't earn much." (Tomorrow A difficult time.) LITTLE BENNY'S NOTE BOOK BY LEX! PAPE.

The sap, coming young and uncon contrated from the maple tree in springtime, has only a suggestive value. Not until it has been put to the boiling process does it achieve its real delights of flavor. Like the echo, which is an expres sion of pure tone no matter how harsh the sound in the first place. So in friendship must we look for the refined qualifies, far out and re moved from the petty faults and short comings which busy themselves about us all. "What means the fact," says Thoreau, "that a soul which has lost all hope for itself can inspire In an other listening soul such an infinite confidence in it. even while it is ex pressing its despair?" Friendship's-key-notes are made up ef the echoes and soft undertones of our better natures. There is no room in genuine friend ship for caustic sayings and intricate, criticism. We are for our friend, or we aren't. Either his fine, sound soul i touches ours-, or else it has no part of parcel in our affairs. Friendship's key-notes have roots and each smallest one reaches to and touches every responsive element in our make-up. We can love our friend, forgive him, overlook his stumbHngs. and be with him in his hardest fights to help him win. In our capacities are we really found! And not In illusions, but in every word that comes from our hearts and thru every deed that follows our best impulses, are we to stand or fall. In those things, which bind us for ever to the ones we love, are to be found friendship's key-notes.

One of them has written a letter to the Chicago Tribune asking for its recipe. From the Tribune's reply we learn that one. by washing his mouth with a silver-nitrate solution, chewing gen tian root, confining himself to a diet of fruits and milk, saturating himself in a course of eliminatlve baths and exercising great will power, can break! himself of the habit which, after he reaches the age of forty.

"Dinty" Moore is making extensive repairs at his place of business. He has moved the ovens to the back part of the building, in order that- ther may be more room in front for tables. Altogether, he is making his estab lishment a neat and comfortable place in wiucn to enjoy a eooa meal. 'We could compile a jape from the case of Reuben C. Bland, of Roberson ville, N. G. whose distinction is that he is the father of thirty-four chil dren. But. on the whole, we believe it Is better to let the women do it. We shall, therefore, hold space up to S00 words for women readers of the column who have an opinion of Mr, Bland and wish publicly to express It. The trouble with the average publlo official is that as soon as he is elected to one office he begins running for another. There is no concealed barb, in the preceding paragraph. No ulterior mo tive prompted it. But. of course, if readers of the column take it into their heads to apply it to any particular Philadelphia official, we can't do any thing about it. Judge Landis. we gather' from the public prints, is again the subject of acrimonious controversy. And. gosh. how the judge hates that sort of thing! Our own interest in Judge Landis concerns his position as fhe. so to speak, czar of baseball. When the powers of baseball irrevocably tied themselves for seven years to the whims and caprices of one man they pulled the biggest "boner" In the his tory of the game. It is no reflection on Judge Lnndls to say it marked the magnates of baseball as the greatest collection of "boobs" ever gathered under one canvas. Tou don't think so? All right, bud dy; you wait a coupla years. Meanwhile, or annual meed of sympathy is extended to Connie Mack, who for the next seven months must listen daily for a period of several hours to the conversation of his plaj' ers. Despite his failure to send it a pas to his ball park Inst yean, the column's loyalty to Mr. Mack is steadfast and unimpaired. When we pick a hero we stick to him, no matter what happens. Many are amazed at Mr. Bryan's admission that he voted for Mr. Cox It is inconceivable ro them that one of Mr. Bryan's unselfishness of motive and purity of purpose should vote for a man such as he described Mr Cnx to be. It. is, however, less mystifying to us. We have for some time sus pected Mr. Bryan of an ambition to be kicked out of another Democratic con vention. One who signs herself "Another 'Adelaide" writes: "Ring Lardner ai rways knocks h!s wife and her sister. Can you tell me whether he Is married and his age?" We have no Information as to Mr. Lardner's ace. We gather from hit writings that he Is old enough to have learned what only a man of thirty-five or forty may know.

Another wallop at prohibition as a destroyer of American passenger ship "busi ness" was dealt today. "Passengers will riot travel on ships which have only soft drinks, prayer books and hymnals jn the saloons." E. F.

"I am not a drinking man, but I would not undertake a long voyage on the high seas on a dry ship," Blaine shuddered. Blaine said 90 per cent of the pas senger travel on Japanese and Cana dian lines originates in the United States and "by rights should go thru Seattle on American ships." He added that th Japanese and Canadian lines are preparing to put new ships in the Pacific service which will be faster and finer than any American ships.

A Sound Reason

for shortage of home ownership is that people always spend their money for what they most desire. The average family prefers to live in rented apartments and own an automobile rather than to occupy its own home and go without the motor car or luxuries. The shortage of homes can also be laid partly at the door of high taxes. II Loan Association 534 Kansas Ave, Topeka, Kan, Assets $3,900,000. The silent partner of home owners and money savers.

6 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 21, 1921 1 FROM 60 TOWNS1 Unusual Attendance for canini Concert Here. Tos- j Greatest Orchestra in World In Topeka Thursday. Beating: even the record for attend- ance set when Caruso visited there, j. Kansas City turned out over 10,000 Sunday afternoon for the concert by the Toscantni-La Scala symphony or- chestra of Milan, Italy.' For the first 'J time in several years, standing room was sold in the Convention Hall where the concert was given. All critics declared that the event was one of the greatest musical tri umphs in the history of the citv and united with the audience in a veritable ovation for the conductor, Arturd Tos- canini and his players. Toscanini was presented with a silver loving cup at the close of the program Sunday afternoon and the visit of the Italians was made an occasion of international good fellowship, the artists being feted by the officials of Kansas City, i From 60 Towns. The' orchestra plays at the Topeka auditorium Thursday night after visit--ing Tulsa and Wichita. Already 1.700 of the 3,100 seats available in the audi- torium are sold, according to the an- nouncement made this morning by Manager H. J. Dotterweich of the-con- cert series. Local music lovers are now In a race with the music lovers from sixty Kan sas towns as to which will make the biggest showing Thursday night. Among the ticket holders from out of town for the Thursday appearance are citizens of Lawrence, Emporia, Man- hattan, Saiina, Osborne, Riley, Rich- .-land, Holton, Horton, St. George, Bur- lingame.

McPherson, Smith Center, and Marysville. 4 A great many Topeka people who will attend Thursday went to Kansas j City Sunday for the Toscanini con f eert there, as the programs are en t tirely different. The program that j will be played here is Identical to the opening concert in New York, that one having been asked for by Mr. rot X terweich sometime ago. It is expected ',that a number of Kansas City people -will come to Topeka to hear the world's greatest conductor in a pro i" gram that includes Beethoven and t Wagner. v BRIBE IS CHARGED Continued from l'age One.) would be whether Landis had neglect ted his official duties for baseball. i Welty read a letter from an attor- ?ney named Adler, at Chicago, who claimed that lawyers have come Into judge Landis's court to try cases only 'to find that "the judge is in New York attending a baseball meeting." 1 Representative Boies, Iowa, asked Welty if he knew anything about Lan r dis temporarily freeing an Ottawa, 111., 'bank clerk because he was underpaid. s "I think that is a more serious of '.fense than these charges," said Boies. 4 The present system of having a baseball organization with Landis at vita head is based on the League of ..Nations. Welty said. Copied tlio Nation's League, .f ''The organization is composed of j all tho baseball clubs." said Welty. "The big clubs met and formed the new longue and then invited all the I little fellows just like the League of 1 Nations was formed." T, Representative Igoe, Missouri, sug gested that Landis's service was only Jthj'.t rf counsel. Why did basebail pick out a fed- era! Judge for this job 7" asked Rep f reseotative Yates. Illinois. "And why did they pay him such a "t)ig salary?" asked Representative j jtjoodykontz. i Establishes Bad Precedent. 5 "If all federal judges entered Into ythls kind of business, where would t our judiciary be?" asked Representa- Jtive Husted, New York. "The, federal Judges can't handle all their work and baseball, which is one of the biggest 5 businesses in the country. "That's the point," said Welty. 7 "Don't you think public opinion will ftrce Judge Landis to give up one of 1 the positions?" asked Boies. 2 I "But the house should do Its duty 3 and stop the act of Landis," said Welty. 's "If Judge Landis is allowed to hold Sthe two offices, why can't all the Jus tices of the supreme court be. employed ffy the packers?" V'; Welty Citc3 Causes. 1',' "If the country approves the dual 2 role of Judge Landis, then the house awill be called upon to prescribe a new standard for our judiciary, because j-there are others who would be pleased ,to employ home Judge, 'for he is worth sjany price he might wish to ask But M do not believe the soul of America ?is so dead as to permit any of us to escape our duties ir this matter. j "These judges are appointed during good behavior. Who shall say when L-their behavior is not good The peo jple cannot remove them. The people's "only hope is the house of representa tives, who. under the government, can prefer a charge." v Welty then went into detail and quoted several other impeachment peases to back up his assertion that a judge can be removed even if he has not violated a law directly. Attorney Oeneral Palmer, in a recent opinion to Welty, said Landis has violated no law. 3(n uresns Csjjo jjaj jsepreaiq jqj. jeapj st RUDOLPH REUTER The first number of the Washburn artist's course brought Rudolph Reu ter, pianist, to a most enthusiastic audience. The recital was a distinct success for Mr. Keuter's playing aroused unbounded enthusiasm in his audience and many encores were de manded and given. As is usual with this artist, the stereotyped program was avoided and many interesting novelties including Dohnanyi's Suite Winterreigen, Bor owski's Prelude In A flat and Busoni's Christmas Night served to demon strate the grasp that this ambitious artist has over music of modern char acter. Reuter's technique is almost flaw less. Chords, octaves, and scale pas sages come from his wrists and fingers with almost unbelievable clarity and precision at a tempo that is fairly hair raising in its speed. With all this technical brilliancy there is no sacri fice of tone and his playing never de generates into mere pounding. His Interpretations are characterized by a sane musical grasp of the material presented, a normal, healthy sentiment and a delicate fancy that makes his playing appeal to all types of music lovers. Mr. Reuter is surely one of the elect in the pianistic world today. H. V. S. HIS BOND IS DOUBLED Man Under Charge in Death of Kan sas Girl Gets Continuance. Milwaukee, Feb. 21.

V Members of minority political par ties must play in their own yards and sing in their own apple trees if the legislature passes a bill which Hasty of Sedgwick, sent to the house hopper just before the final bell rang. Hasty's bill puts an effective patch on a glar ing hole in the primary law by com pelling voters to register their party affiliations. Under the present primary system practically all of the voting is done in the primary of the majority party. With no contests, but few Democrats and Socialists find occasion to go to the polls on a hot August afternoon and vote for men and women who will win whether they vote or. not. But it is lots of fun for the member of a minority party to help the majority party select its candidates. Encourage Them To Vote. In several campaigns Republican candidates have in certain instances been suspected of encouraging Demo crats to vote in their primaries. In other cases Democrats volunteered their votes. This situation often arose when there was an opportunity for the minority party members to help nomi nate a weak candidate and elect their own candidate in November. Now Hasty would remedy the trou ble. He has a bill which provides that voters shall declare their party faith when they register Before a primary election. The bill does not change the registration or primary laws except to provide for a party derlaratjon. Hasty's bill is in the hands of the house election committee and 'in view of frequent criticism of the present nominating system there is a strong chance that the bill may become a law at this session. AGREE ON TARIFF BILL Senate and House Conferees Approve Goes to President in Few Days. Washington, Feb. 21.

The agreement will be submitted to the full membership of the confer ence committees including the Demo crats late today and Senator Penrose predicted that it would be finally adopted.

Senator Docking wants to do the right thing, and keep in touch with what is going on in the senate. Today the reading clerk was droning thru the Culp bill on terminal warehouses, in which reference was made to the charges for placing' grain cars in the unloading docks of the terminal ele vators. The word "docking" occurred in a series of other words separated by commas, and impinged on the ear of lie scimiur ii win xmcj ,uuilj' w j wan hnw in conversation in the rear of the senate chamber. "Aye!" shout ed the senator over his shoulder, and then retreated to the senate postoffice to avoid the shouts of laughter which greeted the astonished glare of the reading clerk, who knew, even tho the solon of the Twenty-sixth district did not, that the roll wasn't being called. NEW CLEW FOUND i CContlniefl from Page Ob. j late candy found on a table in their j home. Some was still in the sack, while pieces were scattered on the ta- j ble. She could not recall having eat- I en anv of the candy herself. Mrs. i Foley believes her daughter took the sack of candy from her pocketbook just before she went to the Whitcomb home. When Miss Foley opened the pocketbook she apparently took noth ing from it to take with her except a crochet hook. No report has yet been received on the results of the stomach analysis which is beinc made at Lawrelce. Mrs. Foley repeated former state ments that Kathleen had complained several times of some one being in her room at night or at least in the house and that at one time the person had grabbed her by the throat and tried to kill her. but had released her and gotten away when she attempted to make an outcry. Candy In Pocket John Foley, a brother of the dead girl, testified this afternoon, that he went to the Whitcomb house after Kathleen's death and brought her coat home himself. He further stated that the candy was in the pocket of the coat. The bond in the amount of $500 for the release of Cruse was approved late this afternoon by Judge Paul Heinz. Cruse has retained Thomas I-illard, widely known Topeka lawyer, to de- fend him. Cruse will return to i Wichita tonight, according to Lillard.

The pro vision of such leadership Js the distin guishing function of the ehurch col lege." The College of Emporia.

10 THE TOPEKA DATLY STAT JOURNALMONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 21, 1921 MOTHER! N "California Syrup of Figs" Child's Best Laxative Accept "California" Syrup of Figs only look for the name California on the package, then you are sure your child Is having the best and most harmless physic for the little stomach, liver and bowels. Children love its fruity taste. Ful. directions on each bottle. You must say "California." Eruptions of the Skin Cause Torturous Itching If you are afflicted with any form of Bkin disorder, you are well ac quainted with the flaming, burning itching that these diseases produce. So many people continue to suffer from eczema, tetter, and other forms of skin disease because they do not seek the source of their suffering, and no disease can be successfully com batted unless attacked at its source. Skin diseases are caused by an Im purity or disorder in the bVod and there is no real and genuine relief within your reach until such impuri ties are removed. a A firm, fresh and blooming skin, radiant with health and free from blemishes, isn't the attri bute of early youth alone. Every woman can keep her schoolgirl complexion long after early youth has flown. Proper care is the secret care which keeps the skin in perfect health. This means the sci entific cleansing which makes each tiny pore and skin cell active. You must use soap and water freely you must use it every day. But not harsh soap not soap which dries and irritates. Select mild, soothing soap, which cleanses gently soap with a smooth, creamy lather soap made from the bland, cosmetic oils Cleopatra used. Cleanser, tonic and lotion This soap is Palmolive, delicately fragrant, and the attractive natural color of its beautify ing ingredients. Its profuse, creamy lather penetrates'' every pore, dissolves dirt, perspiration and excess oil secretions. The rinsing water carries them away. No clogging accumulation remains to make your skin coarse. This gentle cleansing acts as a tonic, reviv Volume and efficiency Palmolive for CITY OF HEALTH Topeka's Death Rate in Janu ary Was Very Low. Bate Was Only 1.35 Fer Thou sand Population. Topeka'sjgteath rate for January was unusually low with hardly more than one death per thousand, population. The number of births with a total of 104 nearly doubled the 'number of deaths. Sixty-eight deaths occurred during the month, making the rate 1.35 per thousand population. The seventeen non-resident deaths reduced the rate to 1.04. The estimates are contained in the monthly statement of Dr. Earle G. Brown, city health officer, to R. D. McGiffert. commissioner of health. It is surprising to note that forty one of the sixty-eight deaths were among: persons more than 50 years old. But the optimism that may be found in the fact that three-fifths of the deaths were among those more than 60 years old. and twenty-four deaths among those more than 70 This explains why disappointment comes from the use of lotions, salves, ointments and other local remedies. S. S. J. has given great satisfaction in the treatment of these disorders, be cause it is such a thoroughly satisfac tory blood purifier. It cleanses th- blood of all impurities, and thus counteracts the effects of the germs that attack the skin. Begin -.a king S. S. S. today, and if you will write a complete history of your case, our medical adviser will give you expert advice without charge. Address Chief Medical Adviser, 822 Swift Laboratory, Atlanta, Ga. Adv. Keep that schoolgirl complexion ing tired nerves and muscles and stimulating each minute gland and capillary. This gives natural color. It is lotion-like in its action, leaving your skin soft and smooth. Just add a touch of cold cream and you are through. If your skin is very dry, or when you use rouge and powder, apply cold cream before as well as after washing. If your skin seems soft and lacking in firm ness, apply cold water liberally. This condition often follows the use of cold cream- alone for cleansing. This finest facial soap costs 10 cents a cake This price is possible because we make Palm olive in such vast volume. The Palmolive fac tories work night and day. We buy the costly ingredients in enormous quantities. You can't buy a better soap no matter what price you pay, because science can't make finer soap. But the price allows you to povide it for general family use, a luxury all may enjoy. The Palmolive Company. Milwaukee, U.S.A. The Palmolive Company of Canada, Limited, Toronto, OnU permit us to sell years old, is decidedly upset by the fact that nine deaths occurred among babies less than a year old; by the fact that measles resulted fatally twice in November and that scarlet fever also caused two deaths and diphtheria one death. Six of the nine deaths among babies less than a year old were due to dis eases of early Infancy. Dr. Brown pointed out. Three Deaths From T. B. Cancer caused eight deaths. Tu berculosis caused three deaths. A total of 429 communicable diseases, exclusive of social disease and tuber culosis, were reported for the month. Measles led all other disease in num ber of cases with a total of 314.- Two hundred of the communicable diseases were among children under school age, fifty-three affected adults and the re mainder were among children in the public schools. Dr. Brown has inaugurated the sys tem of recording disease and deaths according to the wards of the city from which they are reported. Communicable disease recorded by wards were: First, 41: second, 14S; third, 50; fourth, 47; fifth, 107, and sixth, 36. The large numbers of cases in the second and fifth wards is due to the measles epidemic being most de veloped in those wards. Deaths re ported from the wards were: First. 7; second, 21; third, 8; fourth, 6; fi'th, S, and sixth, 18. The fact that the hospitals are located in the second and sixth wards increases the number of deaths reported. livewTres plan play Will Present "Una Jtnimo" for Mem bers of Legislature-. Members of the Live Wire club are busy rehearsing for their play "Uno Animo," which will be presented at the entertainment for the legislators on the evening of February 25. "This play will be a scream, if it turns out like we- expect," said Roscoe C. Kills, president of the Live Wires. "The parts are being taken 'by com petent actors and the object will be a farce comedy production panning the members of the legislature." Rumor seems to have it that several legislators will receive their dues, and that no partiality will be shown to the members either of 'the administration or anti-administration forces. A large attendance is expected for the even ing s entertainment. 25 YEARS ASO IN TOPEKA From the Column of THE TOPEKA STATE -TOOUCAX February tu IBM. The state taonse elevator has made a iw trial trips and will soon be running regu larly. Ice about eight Inches thick in being cut on Soldier creek in large quantities, and. manv of the 1 houses about Topeka are being tilled with It. There will be but few of the trees now standing on the state house grounds left when the force of men -under Superintend ent Naylor get thru witji their work. The state executive council some time ago adopted the plans for the improvement of the grounds prepared by W. W.. I'arce -of Rochester.; N. Y., and the work, is being done according to their plans.' All the box elders, eatnTpas and locusts are being cut down.' After the roots are grubbed out the grounds will be plowed and graded and new trees of vnblce varieties will be set out. There will be eighty different varieties of trees and shrubs growing on the grounds when the plans-are completed. Sara Dol mnu, North. Topeka contractor, savs it will cost between $30,000 and $40,000 to carry out these improvements. A farewell party was given by Mr. and Mrs. Carl Gqff at their home In Morse street last evening for their son Carl, who Jeaves for Pottawatomie county Monday next, accompanied by Alpha Robinson.

Blsnchard, Jasper Moses, Al Blanchard and Karl Starbird. TIED FOR HIGH SCORE. J. Hoover and M. Hoover Made 40 In Gun Club Shoot. J. Hoover and M. Hoover tied for the high score at the last shoot of the Topeka Gun club, held at the Boys' Industrial school Saturday aft ernoon. The Hoovers 'stopped at 4-6. A high wind made shooting; very dif ficult, and prevented the making of higher scores. Other scores and their makers were: A. Springer, 45; W. Horning, 42; M. Metzger, 42; J. Kritser, 41; S. Ham il, 37; R. Thorn pson, "37; J. Stewart, 37; F. Enoch, 37; E. Kellam, 33; W. Culver. 31; H. Shirley, 30; A. Scott, 31; J. Magnuson, 29; H. Tucker, 29; P. Bauman, 28; F. Griggs, 28; P. Sessions, 25. The beauty secret of ancient Egypt This use of Palm and Olive oils mi cos metic cleansers is a beauty secret discov ered 3,000 years ago in ancient Egypt. The Greeks and Romans also knew their value. Palm and olive oils adorned their sumptuous marble baths. Now in scientific modem days these same beautifying oil rc combined in the most popular of facial soaps. They still hold first place as soothing, healing, beau tifying cleansers. WEST RE-ELE6TED PRESIDENT Geo. C. Thompson New Secretarv Treasurer Topeka Country Clnb. At the annual election of officers of the Topeka Country club Saturday night, Dr. W. It West was re-elected president for the year 1921. The resignation of K. A. Tirrill, secretary, was accepted with regrets by th di rectors and George C. Thompson was named as successor. Other officers for the new year are: W. W. Strickland, vice president; Armin Fassler, chair man of the grounds committee; Dr. W. N. West, chairman greens committee; Frank W. Griggs, chairman golf com mittee; J. B. Sleeper, chairman enter tainment comfhittee; Richard Hall. '.chairman house committee;- Roy S. Thompson, chairman tennis commit tee. The resignation of Ed Tirrill comes as a surprise to the club membership. Since the beginning of the second year of the organization of the Country club Tirrill has been secretary and treas urer. His activity has been largely responsible for the growth and prog ress of golf in Topeka. Owing to the demands of his business he was forceU to give up tle work, he explained to the directors. His successor, George C Thompson, is an officer of the Kan sas Reserve Investment company and is widely known in Topeka. He has has been a member of the Country club for more than five years and has been active in the club's golf and so cial affairs. The Country ctub begins the new year with additional acreage for the Immediate operation or an ls-noie course. The second nine holes' will be placed in shape this season. THEY FAVOR BONUS BILL Members of American Ijcgion Ask Action on Measure. Three hundred dollars is the aver age amount which Kansas ex-service men will receive if the proposed state bonus bill is enacted. The average length of service is esti mated at ten months by Frank B Samuel, state adjutant of the Ameri can legion. With approximately 65,- 000 Kansans eligible to additional compensation under the bill, at the rate of $1 for each day's service, a total of $20,000,000 would be required. The bill calls for a maximum bond issue of $25,000,000. J All preliminary reports received at state headquarters of the American Legion from the Btate-wide referen dum now being taken to determine sentiment indicate that the ex-soldiers are strongly in favor of the bonus. "If the service men raise a united voice asking for passage of the bill," said Adjutant Samuel, "we feel that the legislature can not consistently re fuse to give its approval, for the meas ure simply permits the people of the state themselves to decide whether or not a bonus should be granted." PUN FOR FOREST PROTECTION States and Land Owner in Session Seeking Co-operation. Chicasroi Feb. 21.- Adequate protec tion against forest fires, co-operation by the states with the land owners and encouragement or private re- forestration are the principal features of a general state forest policy -to be considered by the North Central States Forestry .conference to be held here February 24. Governors or forestry officials of Illinois,' Indiana, Iowa, 'Wisconsin, Minnesota. Missouri, Michigan and Ohio will i participate in the confer ence, which is to assemble under the direction othe forestry program com mittee of the Union League club of Chicago. Methods of state regulation in co operation with private owners and federal aid in state projects will be discussed. REVIVE TOPEKA RIFLE CXUB. Famous Shooting Organization Will Be Started Again. The Topeka Rifle club, one of the most famous shooting organizations in the state,- is getting into action again, after a period of inactivity which lasted during the entire war. H. B. Howard, secretary of the club. said today. Curing the war the various rifle clubs over the United States were forced into a-period of inactivity, oc cassioned by the -calling in of all the guns which were issued to the clubs by the government. Now these guns are again being issued, and the national shoot, to which the government pays the expenses of forty men from each state, is being planned. The shoot this year will be the first in four years. "There are twenty-six clubs in the state," said Howard, "and they all have a membership of about forty or fifty, and sometimes more. The Topeka club has always held a good record and at the last national meet in 1914 at Tampa, Fla., we sent four men. They all came back with 90 per cent medals." The Topeka club is twenty years old, and at the present time has a mem bership of sixty-five. BIG TEN BUST TONIGHT. Three Big Baseball Games on In Central West Courts. Chicago, Feb. 21.
