Former Assistant Chief of De tectives In Sensation." Serious Testimony Is Given to Attorney General. CITY PAYS FOR PRIVATE WORK W. C. Klely Tells of Alleged Ac tions of Chief Swallow. Reprimanded for Enforcing Liquor Law, Kiely States. Serious charges, involving a dozen specific Instances, were made against the Topeka police department and Guy A. Swallow, chief of police, by VV. C. Kiely, former assistant chief of detectives, in a letter to' C. B. Grif fith, assistant attorney general of Kansas, who is conducting the invest! gatlon of the department on behalf of the state. The letter was mailed to Griffith by Kiely today in response to the assistant attorney general's re quest for information concerning al leged illegal practices at the city jail. Kiely asserts that he was more than once reprimanded for assisting F. W". Leech, chief of detectives, in the en forcement of the prohibitory law. He also charges that certain police of ficers drew city pay while doimj private work for Chief Swallow and that repairs on the chiefs private ear and upon a Ford car were charged to the city. Hands Were) Tied." Kiely says when he asked Chief Swallow for assistance in apprehend ing two men who on January 10 held up' and robbed George Stadel, a, post office employe, at the American Legion hall, that the chief told him "that his hands were tied" and that he gave him no help. One of the most serious charges made hv Kielv concerned Vic Plants, a police officer, and the chief. Kiely said he investigated a case in which a gun and some other things naa Deen stolen from a house in Topeka. lie said he located the gun at a pawn Khnr. anil asked the dealer to call him if any of the robber's pals called for the gun. One day the dealer called him. he said, and he was surprised to find Vic Plants holding the ticket and wanting tho gun. He said he called the chief to the telephone and let him talk to the pawn dealer. T would not write the worost- ut tered hv the chief of police," says Kiely. "for having Gordon call me on a matter of this kind." Kiely Reprimanded. Kiely savs he was also reprimanded by the chief for calling, upon he countv attorney's office for assistance in making a. liquor raid upon the, home of Steve Stone, where a still and a large quantity of liquor were found. When the county attorney's stenog rapher called him concerning evidence on certain cases where the police had made arrests, the chief forbade him to give the information or any other information in regard to violations of the prohibitory law, Klely declares. The statutes of Kansas require that sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, constables, mavors, marshals, police judges and police officers at once notify the county attorney of any violations of the prohibitory law which come to their knowledge. It is known that practically not one case of violations of the prohibitory law has been re ported to the county attorney during Mayor Corwine's administration, un til after George Wark. federal prohi bition director, started his investiga tions of local conditions recently. This statute provides that the fail ure of any officers above named to make this report shall place them liable to a fine of from $100 to 5C0 and also forfeiture of office, upon conviction. This is the first reference to Chief Swallow since the original charges involving liquor conditions in Topeka. The chief always has been considered a conscientious and energetic officer and his administration has been look ed upon as most successful. Kiely's Ijctter. The letter from Kiely to Griffith is as follows: Tear Sir: Complying witb your re qnest concerning irregularities having oc curred at the police station.

V" Si COUNTY WANTS ITS MONEY Mandamus Proceedings Filed in Su preme Court to Secure Deposits. Mandamus proceedings wore filed in the supreme court today by the Parber county commissioners to com pel Frank 11. Foster, state bank com missioner, to issue certificates of the tate bank guaranty fund in the amount of $90,658.80. The amount is claimed to be clue the county thru claims for deposits in the Lake City State bank. According to the petition of Barber county board an effort has been made to secure acceptance of the claim by tht sta4e bank commissioner. It is ciaimed that Commissioner Foster re fused to either approve or disapprove the deposit account of the county. A writ of mandamus is now asked to force acceptance of the deposit as a liability agiinst the state bank guar anty fund. In discussing the suit today J. H. S&ndcll, assistant state bank commis sioner, a3serted thatthe Barber county deposit was specially secured and thai it cannot be listed as a liability of the guaranty fund. The department, he said, had refused to approve the board's claim because of the fact that the county held special security. The Lake City bank was taken over by the state department last fall. David Freemeyer, cashier of the institution, went to Kansas City with a load of cattle which were sold on the market.

Two Commissions Are to Work Out Agreement Detail. TWO REPLIES SENT BY U. S. One "Was to France Telling Her Favor of Some Adjustment. Then Her Refusal to Sit at The Hague Caused Bewilderment. Genoa, May 17. The Russian dele gation in the international economic conference today under protest, ac cepted the plan for two commissions to meet at The Hague for detailed study of the Russian problem. One commission will be mixed; the other will be composed of Russian experts who will furnish all data requested. The Russians moved a number of amendments to The Hague plan. The political subcommission held two meetings today. The general feel ing was much more hopeful as the afternoon session began. Washington, May 17. French sources at Genoa prior to issuance by the economic conference of an invita tion to the United States to participate in The Hague meeting sent a feeler to develop the American attitude to ward such participation it was learned today. The American reply. It was ex plained, was sympathetic in character but was not an acceptance altho ap parently construed at Genoa as fore casting participation by the "United States. This it was said was the only explanation that could be assigned in official quarters here to the confusion in European capitals which has fol lowed American declination of the formal invitation. The French proposal was of a gen eral nature and fixed no time or place for the suggested economic commis sion to meet. The American reply crossed on the cables the formal Invi tation to the Hague meeting and the result it was said today evidently was that the American sympathetic atti tude toward the original French sug gestion was construed in some quarters abroad as indicating acceptance of the ujviidLJun to tne iague. The general terms of the French suggestion- which eonfined the pro posed inquiry to purely economic matters was viewed here as having possible value and while tho Ameri can reply was careful not to commit the United States to an acceptance in advance, of a consideration of the specific mission to be assigned to any international committee of expert's thut might be created, it did clearly indicate a sympathetic feeling toward tne project on the part of Washing ton government. Th rapid course of events in the cable ccrrespondence resulted in con fusion in Washington as to just what was tianspiring at Genoa.

A year and a half ago an interna tional commission was appointed by the governments of the United States and Canada, to make a thoro investi gation of the feasibility of using the St. Lawrence river for ocean vessels, so that the middle west might have the advantage of loading its products for export upon ships in lake ports, such as Chicago, Duluth, Toledo, etc. The report of this international commission is now in, and Governor Allen states that it advises the gov ernments of the United States and Canada that it is entirely feasible to build a ship canal, with locks, along the thirty-three miles of rapids in the Lawrence river.

The com mission gives the estimated cost of the project, and also the amount of water power it would create in addi tion to its purpose of navigation. Fifteen states of the Middle West have, thru the action of their gover nors or their legislatures, joined in a movement to further this project. Other states also are encouraging- it. The Manufacturers' association of New England recently declared in favor of it. New lork is opposing the project, for obviously selfish reasons, says Governor Allen. The opponents of the project have chosen Governor Miller, of New York, as their spokesman, and the western states favoring the pro ject have chosen Governor Allen as their spokesman. The two governors had a joint debate upon the pubject before the Rivers and Harbors' con gress at Washington last week, and they are to have a second joint debate before the Manufacturers Association of Illinois next week. The completion of this project, now declared feasible by the international commission, and which has been en dorsed by the president, will give to the forty-three million people of the Middle West the benefit of being 2,000 miles nearer to the ocean for the load ing of their export products. Topfka citizens wiH have the op portunity of hearing Governor Allen present all phases of this project, at the First Unitarian church, 914 To peka boulevard, next Saturday even ing. A general invitation to the public is extended by the Unitarian Laymen's league, under whose auspices Governor Allen will speak.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL-WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 17, 1922 3-- FACTS ALONE ARE NEEDED If the Public Learns About Cripples, It Will Aid Willingly. St. Louis, May 17. In the Initial atage of a program for civilian re habilitation, the Alpha and Omega should be to "get facts, cold facts, cruel facts," and then disseminate them to the public without saturating them with sentimentality, or coloring them with inaccurate interpretations, Robert H White, director of Indus trial rehabilitation for Tennessee, told the national conference on vocational rehabilitation of disabled persons in jured In industry or otherwise, here today. 'Civilian rehabilitation is an epoch- making advance in social legislation, the soeaker said. "It is enacted and exists for the benefit of industrial workers disabled in the nondramatic struggle for daily bread: it is not something to be put over on the peo ple, but it is a sane, practical pro gram that must be worked out by in telligent effort and sympathetic co operation. "In my Judgment, the maintenance of disabled persons in rehabilitation training is primarily a matter that should be investigated and handled by each state, due to varying conditions brought about by race, color and in dustrial and economic conditins." Mr. White outlined proposed in vestigations to be undertaken by the federal and state boards under three divisions, which he pave as: Statisti cal investigations, vocational investi gations and related problems for in vestigations. He gave figures which he yaicl were sufficient to impress the citizenship of the country with the importance and necessity of formulat ing a salvaging prosram that "will reclai-.n and restore to gainful occu pations as much of human wreckage as is possihie."

There has been introduced In con gres a measure apparently designel to prevent the wholesale theft of au tomobiles by requiring the stamping of a federal registration number upon the engine and body of each car.. For this evidence of care and interest on the part of the United States the owner of the car would pay 2. The real object of the. bill, probably, is to raise revenue and to provide jobs for another army of government law enforcement BRpnrp. Automobile owners already are paylnc state and federal .iovern ments J344.OOU.000 a yeai. M. T. Bender, appearing for the New York tate Automobile association before the house committee in opposition to the bill, said that "1 1.000,000 men would be deviled to death by compli cations and red tape which the fed eral officials would inject Into Its en forcement." In certain quarters the demand is being made on congress that it frame a tariff law "in accordance with American interests." But it Is appar ent that "American interests" in this case means the interest or the manu-fai.-turers and not that of the consum ers. Surely, the manufacturers are not the only American.

Another concern sold more, cars in April than In any other month in its history- Still another maker of moderate priced cars says that April was the biggest month in fourteen years, and two others say they will have done more business by June 15 than during all of 1921.

LABOR AND THE IMU JiCTIOJr. Alexander Howat has Invoked the aid of the injunction, hated, despised and execrated by labor unionists in general, in an effort to extricate him self from the trouble in which he has become Jnvolvedby reason of his resistance to the orders of the Kan sas court of industrial relations. Or ganized labor has fought the use of the injunction in industrial contro versies unremittingly for many years. Howat, however, has shown that he is not above using: it if it can be made to serve his purpose. Asfar back as April, 1906, the "Federationist," official organ of the American Federation of Labor, sa'.d: We have steadily fought the injunc tion this outrageous, impudent, rev olutionary Invention of lawless plu tocracy and if the national and state legislatures ate reluctant or slow to come to the velief of labor and put an end by appropriate legislation to the usurpation practiced by judges more and mo---e audaciously at the dictation of plutocrat y. other lawful ways and moans oi resisting the abuse will sug gest themselves. Year after year, the federation knocked at the doors of congress with, demands for laws exempting labor unions from anti-trust legislation and wiping out the power of the courts to protect by injunction or otherwise the right of the non-union worker to pur sue his trade or the right of the open shop employer to conduct his busi ness. Year after year committees of congress listened to the representa tives of labor unions proposing these laws and to the employers' represen tatives and constitutional lawyers of distinction opposing them. The Issue became of so supreme importance that it found its way into the plat forms of the two great political parties. In March. 1906, the federa tion and prominent national unions presented their "bill of grievances" to congressmen, senators and the president, calling for exemption from the anti-trust laws and the abolition of labor injunctions. It declared "our repeated efforts to obtain re dress from congress have 'been In vain." It hoped the appeal would not be in vain, "but if perchance you may not heed us, we shall appeal to the conscience and the support of our fellow citizens." The pledge demand ed of national legislators was not only to vote for certain bills or poli cies, but also to accept such changes In detail as might be thereafter ap proved "by the legislative commit tees of the American Federation of Labor and the National Grange." By 1912 the demands of labor unions had become standardised. Most of them found expression in a model anti-injunction bill, which In effect declared that the right of a wan to work and the right of an employer to conduct business should not be re garded as a property right entitled to protection in the courts. In 1913 the state of mind of the politician was shown by the consider ation of federal appropriation bills for funds to enforce our laws, with provisos that none of the appropriated funds should be used against labor unions. Early in 1913. "after twenty- three years of effort, this labor pro viso," says the Federationist, "was in corporated in a bill reported from a committee." This bill was vetoed by Mr. Taft, but on June 23, 11S, such a bill was signed by President Wilson. "This was a decisive victory for the rights and protection of labor," wrote Mr. Gompers. After that. President Wilson annually signed bills with sim ilar provisos. In 1914 the model anti-injunction bill was urged for enactment before the state legislatures of various states under a nation-wide campaign direct ed from the headquarters of the fed eration at Washington. A federal bill restricting- injunctions and purporting to exempt labor unions from the anti trust law was ready for enactment. Hearings were shut off. Labor lead ers sat in the galleries during the crit ical sessions of congress and their presence had its effect. The Clayton law was passed. If Howat succeed Inhis undertak ing, perhaps he and hia associates next will demand that the courts be restricted from using the injunction except in the interest of organized la bor. President Harding's conference on unemployment has issued a bulletin concerning the increase in employ ment thru the United States, which says that from all figures available, employment is showing a steady and sustained gain. April reports are the most encouraging of the year and cleacjy indicate the upward trend of industry and business. Based on re turns from the United State employ ment service, April, has shown the greatest gain of any month in 1922. For every 100 Jobs listed during the month there were 150 applicants, as against 1SZ in March. 205 In Febru ary, ana 23( in January. This is a decrease of 33 per cent in the number applying foe work, during the fuwt four months of the year. In April, 54 applicant for employment were placed for every 100 registrations, as gainst 45 for March, 41 for Febru ary, and 3S for January a gain of 41 per cent. These figures cover re ports from thirty-four states and the District of Columbia and include the principal cities. TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL Information Bureau FREDERIC J. HASKIX, Direct, Washington, D. O. WOMA.V MAY BE STATE GOVERNOR. Washington, D. C, May 14. South Dakota may have a woman governor after next election. For the first time In the history of the country a woman has been nominated for the governor ship of a state by a major political party. The nomination isMhe more unusual in that it was unanimously granted. The woman is Alice Lorraine Daly, and the organization backing her is the Nonpartisan League, which has displaced the Democratic party as one of the ma jor political parties of South Daly has already begun her campaign fight. She is standing firm ly on the platform of the Nonpartisan League. Her people are farmers, and she advocates the various reforms which the league believes will remedy conditions. She thinks she has a good chance of being elected. "In the past two years deflation of prices and contraction of credits have so affected the farmers of my state that they are turning ashever before to the Nonpartisan League," she says. "Many of them now look upon it as their only hope economically. Finan cial conditions are in a critical state. Unless the farmers can get some as surance of stabilized prices for wheat and other productsihey will soon have to give up the task of trying to feed the country. "One little story will show the con ditions: A ranch woman came to me tearfully after one of my speeches and told of her 14 years of ranch life in South Dakota. She came to the state, she said, with her husband, young and full of enthusiasm. No sacrifice was too great in "the inter ests of the children's future a good education for them and some day a comfortable home. For this dream I they lived In a sod house and put every cent they made into cattle. Their herd represented 14 years' sav ings when tlTte price of cattle was de flated and the bank refused to renew their note. The cattle would sell for a smaller sum than they owed the bank. "Our 14 years of hard work and loneliness are a total losST she said." Miss Daly's Platform. Miss Daly's platform recounts the remedies proposed by the Nonparti san league. She advocates a state owned bank for South Dakota to give me larmers longer credit at cheaper rates. Such banks are considered a radical departure over here, she says, but m Australia they have been suc cessfully operated for some time. She believes in state owned terminal elevators, warehouses, flour mills. stocks yards, packing houses, cold storage 'plants, and sugar refineries, and in public ownership of all public utilities. She also advocates the re vival of the government grain corpor ation to stabilize prices of grain and other products. She has no particular planks for women except one sweeping demand for "complete equality of men and women in industry and government, with the fullest enfranchisement of women and equal pay for women and men engaged in similar occupations." I sm not a woman s candidate. says Miss Daly: "I am working for the state, and both men and women alike will benefit by the fundamental reforms of our platform. Low er taxes, credit, and stabilized prices for farm products ate what farmers and their families most need." Other planks in the platform are not strictly of farm interest. Miss Daly says that she strongly believes in amnesty for political prisoners, and in "religious liberty, freedom of speech, of the press, and of assemblage." She demands the immediate abolition of all "Pie Counter Jobs'" in state gov ernment, so that tax payers may be relieved of an unnecessary burden. Disarmament is advocated in a par agraph which says: "Militarism is a curse from which the whole world seeks to free itself We. therefore, earnestly oppose any system of compulsory military train ing and ravor immediate total disarm- j ament with a referendum vote before any declaration of war, except in cases nf tnvnntnn hv armed enemies." I Women candidates for all sorts of. public offiices are no long-er a cun ositv. but people still find the woman politician an interesting- study. Miss Dalv Is an attractive young woman of fresh coloring and pleasant blue eyes. She is an outdoor type, tho not of a heavy build. Called Joan of Arc. Out in her state she has been called the Joan of Arc of South Dakota because she has given herself so com pletely to the. work of improving the farmers' lot. With B. A. and M. A. degrees from the University of'Minnesota and di plomas from the Emerson College of Oratory at Boston, she came to the state normal school of South Dakota to teach public speaking. She responded intensely to the un necessary hardships of life about her, to "thecry of undernourished chil dren echoing thru unkempt day coaches as they lumbered slowly over South Dakota plains; the knowledge that mothers, already too heavily bur dened with care, responsibility, and endless work, must go down into the Vallev of Death alone, miles from any medical assistance, in order that our state, heedless of their needs, might be enriched by the coming of new life: the dearth of good homes among our workers: the lack of educational op portunities for our rural children." She became Interested in the aims of the Nonpartisan League, and when she was nominated by the league for superintendent of public instruction of the state she gave up her salai"y and teaching to devote all of her time to campaign work. The league was not Strong enough' to elect its candidates. At one time it was proclaimed a "corpse," but Miss Daily affirms that it has come back, and that the next election will show what a lively corpse it really is. Candidate Thoroly Feminine. The first woman nominee for gov ernor is a feminine person. With sll her terse explanations of credit and taxation problems, she gives a femi nine picture of the governor's job. "Governing a state is housekeeping on a large scale." she says. "And a woman is suited to such work because the instinctive tendency of woman hood is good housekeeping. The housekeeping of state includear""all phases of human welfare care of in fants." provision for motherhood, prob lems of education, housing, food, and clothes, protection of the weak, the unfortunate, and all wards of the state. "Wemen have vision of an economio system that will function primarily thru the state and will be a powerful factor in emphasizing the superiority of human rights above property rights. The governing class of men is in deep ruts of our present eco nomic system. The sympathy and wide understanding of women is need ed in politics today. "I like to think," she added with a smile, "that the farmers have been the first to express their belief in these things by nominating a woman for governor, and I- am proud of their confidence." FOUR DANCING FEET BY JANE PHELPS GERTIE DF-T1 IRMTVKS TO BE DIFFERENT. Chapter 27. "Say Gertie, Jim Denton has asked me to go to Coney Island Sunday, why don't you and Lcn come along? You'll be a long time dead, and you might as well have a little fun while you live." Lilly and Gertie were on their way home. Gertie had been unusually quiet, and Lilly had teased her about it before suggesting she and Len should go to Copey Island. "All right! If Len asks me I'll go." "Asks you! Why he'll tumble all over himself he'll be so tickled. He's stuck on you. Gert." "That don't mean nothing to me." "You're a Queer girl. Len makes lots of money. He's good looking too." He was in a big, coarse kind of a way. "Well, I told you I'd go if he asked me, didn't I? But I won't stand for any nonsense, Lilly. I hate the fellows when they get fresh." "AH I got to say is you've got to let them be a bit fresh if you have any fun with them. They think they de serve somthin' for their money Sunday morning- dawned bright and lovely. Len, acting on a hint from Lilly, had asked Gertie to go, and she had accepted. "Ever toddled at Larimore's?" Len asked as they rolled along in the crowded subway. He had found seats for the four, and they were laughing and chatting, amused because of the crowd who failing to be so fortunate, had grumbled at Len's pushing until he had seated his party. "No I never been there." "Swell place! Dandy music, too." "That's nice." Perhaps she could have some good times even if she did hold herself like a good girl. Len leaned toward her; "You look awful sweet today," he said not troubling to lower his voice. "We'll show them a thins or two when we get on tha floor." Gertie didn't share his enthusiasm over dancing. She had enough of that at Fagin's. She would rather sit on the beach, or go -to some of the shows. But she didn't say so. She had prom ised Lilly she would try to join in the fun, and if they wanted to dance, why she'd dance. They went directly to the dance hall. In the waiting room Len pulled a flask from his pocket and poured a drink into a collapsible cup. "I always go prepared," he' said, offering it o Gertie after he had care fully filled it. "Its good stuff! Won't hurt you." But I never drink anything," Len." "This is an extra occasion. Just a swallow." Gertie just touched her lips to the edge of the cup. more in response to a look from Lilly, than to please Len. The stuff burned her throat and she chdked a little, making f Hem laugh: I "Look here," Len said, "if you didn't want to have a little pep, and Tjoy yourself what'd you come for?" "I can enjoy myself without that! It would make me sick." "Don't coax her, Len." Jim Denton broke in, "more for the rest of us." Lilly took only a sip. but she did it with a swaggering air, that saved her from criticism. The two men took a drink, then Len put the cup and the bottle into his pocket. "There's more when you want it," he said, "and it costs money nowadays. I paid $10 for a bottle iaat night." "Won't they arrest you If they know you have it?" Gertie asked almost wishing she hadn't come. "They raided Fagin's one night. I was scared most to death. Isn't it against the law to have it in your pocket?" It's my pocket! I'd like tcr see them touch me.'1 Len replied, then seeing the worried look on Gertie's face said: "Don't worry, Gertie, I'll not let anything happen while you are with me." 'I know you won't, Len," yet she wished he had left the bottle at home. They danced for an hour, then found an eating place where Len said the food was "swell, better than your mother makes." Gertie was tired and relaxed In her chair, eating little. watching the others. In spite of herself she com pared these men with Tom Norris; their table manners or lack of them with hisNway of eating. A great .wave of nausea swept over her. Why had sho come? (Tomorrow A proposal of marriage.) HEART AND HOME PROBLEMS Written for The State Journal, BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON Dear Mrs. Thompson: D you think it advisable for a man past thirty who has nothing in store for the future or a foundation on which to start, to try to win a girl unless he could go in the best of style? There are rivals giving her a good time in different ways, spending la lot of time from business duties, etov Would it be advisable for me to try to compete with them? Is it proper to try to make a date with a girl a man has seen a few times, but has never been made ac quainted with her? Or to try to go with a girl he has just ,met one time? I am energetic and capable of -two or three kinds of business and am intelligent- Would it be better to wait until conditions become normal again or to grasp present opportunities? I have always been 'domestic, not a runabout, have never been a ladies man. am fairly good-looking and have a good character and habits. Is twice enough to try to make a call or not,? A READER. It is a very sad thing when a man lacks respect for himself. You place money and material show ahead of your own divine personality. A per son who is interesting and has charm is just as welcome to a girl of genuine worth as a man with a lot of money. At least I would advise you to try your luck. It is all right to go with a girl you have met only one time, but it would not be correct to try to go with a girl to whom you have not been introduced. There is no reason why you should not-have--young lady friends even if conditions are bad. I would not ad vise you to think of marriage until you have sufficient money to support a wife. If a girl refuses to ret you' call twice, you may count upon it that she is not interested in you. ON SECOND THOUGHT BX JAJT E. HOUSE, (From Philadelphia Public Leaser.) Says a contented customer who writes to discuss certain phases of the political situation I am now doing my own thinking even tho it be poor." That is a consummation- de voutly to be wished. Any time the people of this country settle down to the steady grind of doing their own thinking we'll back the republic to the limit. The trouble with the thinking is that most of it is done by proxy. The result is that most of that which passes as fact merely is propaganda and a large part, of that which is con sidered knowledge isn't true. A new play called "West of Pitts burgh" is in rehearsal and will shortly have a presentation in 1 Atlantic City. We are not advised as to the subject matter, bijt we suspect the Wild West possibly that portion of it lying be tween the Wabash and Illinois rivers is about to sustain another wallop. At any rate, since the piece was written by two New York dramatists, that is the logical presumption. There Are, However, Conditions. Sir Just a suggestion from one who has. read the column several years'.- Some time ago. you exchanged pulpits with Mr. Cullen Cain. Why not do so again? It will be a pleasant break in- the monotony for everybody. Trusting this wile be received in the spirit in which it was sent, I am. P. H. G. We'll exchange on one condition. -It is that we be assigned to do Mr. Cain's stuff from Seattle, Los Angeles, Jack sonville, Chicago, the Adirondacks, New England or some of the other points to which he continually is Jour neying in quest of material. We'll write Mr. Cain's column any timet there js a ride in it. As long as we are compelled to stick around this desk we'll do our own stuff. Certain of our speculative adven tures have proved intriguing to a few readers of the column. We take the liberty of recounting another experi ence. We just laid a wager of 38 with a Chestnut street haberdasher that we could pick out a straw hat that wouldn't make us look any worse. The fear that we have lost' the wager assails us, but we shan't know for certain until we get home. The column approves Lady Astor's declination to engage in joint debate on the subject of prohibition With Miss Elizabeth Marbury. Next to a mass-meeting-, the joint debate probably is the most fatile of proceedings. If we may offer a suggestion, it is that the ladies settle the controversy man fashion. "Manrfashion," we shall add for the benefit of the women, who have not familiarized themselves with the methods of trw- intrepid sex, is to of fer to wager 310 and then "hedge" when It comes to putting up the money. All Russia wants is a billion dollars in money or goods. Well, you gentle men know who wilr- be expected to foot the bill, whatever it is. You might as well assemble your organiza tion and get ready for the canvass. Who will be the first to subscribe $50,000 toward meeting the Russian demand "The senate's fight onhe bonus." writes Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr., "is to be a decisive battle between Main street and Wall street. Wall street, with all her resourcs, all her ailken- nnea pockets, all her foreign un- American advice, is face to face with the Yonng America from the Main street for forty-eight whole-souled pa triotic States." We told young- Mr. Vanderbilt's em ployer more than a year ago that as a reporter he wasn't worth tbe 3125 a week he is reputed to receive. That is to say. we as good as told him. We printed the Opinion In this column. One of those engaged in projecting fool questions recently asked Booth Tarkington the name of his favorite heroine. Mr. Tarkington replied that he had no favorite heroine. We have no wish to quarrel with his reaction to the question. What we want to know is whether he is making any progress with his explanation. Our interest In the matter, we shall add. is personal and .not. academic. Without giving much heed or thought to the matter, we made a remark equivalent to Mr. Tarklngton's along in the fall of 112. We haven't been able satisfactorily to explain it. yet. If these paragraphs happen to meet Mr. Tarkington's eye, we hope he'll write and tell us. If he has a recipe that will do the work, we'll buy it. George Matthew Adams Daily Talk A. LINCOLN" STORY AND A REELECTION OR SO. I find in the notes otWalt Whitman a fine. Lincoln story. In the gloomiest period of the Civil war, Lincoln was waited upon by a large" delegation of bank presidents from all over the country. In the talk after the business, one of the bank presidents asked Lincoln if he didn't think his belief in the permanency of the Union was begin ning to be shaken. Whereupon Lin coln replied in his famous atory fash ion as follows ''When I was a young man in Illinois. I boarded for a time with a deacon of the Presbyterian church. Ona night I was roused from my sleep by a rap at the, door, and I heard the deacon's voice exclaiming 'Arise. Abraham! the day of -judgment has come!' I sprang from my bed and rushed to the window, and saw the stars fallinw In great showers: but looking back of them in the heavens I saw the grand old. constellations, with which I was so well acquainted, fixed and true in their places. Gentlemen, the world did not com to an end then, nor will the Union now." I often read in my newspaper of an attempted suicide and find that In every instance afterwards, the person regrets the act. The fact is that we so often think all life has lost its appeal because we are so close to some particularly black and unhappy event. How often a day opens in the most gloomy and dark fashion only to clear and brighten later on. And how much different we feel in the face of such a change. The time to quit is never when you feel most like quitting. The man who seems nearest failure may in truth be nearest to success. The inventor never knows the mo ment he is going to stumble onto the desired result. If very unhappy people would move just a little closer to the happy side of life and get some of its feel, I am sure that one of the fine lessons of life would be quickly learned. Dorothy Dix Talks mrt DOBOTBT DIX Wayta-S Highest raid Wsanaa Writs. Tears 1. A Chicago man, who sued his wife for divorce because she kept him awake at night with her weeping, has just been denied aenaration from the rtearful lady, the court apparently holdins; to the theory that a woman has a riht to cry as much as she wants to, and no .husband has a right to abridge her pleasures. One's sympathy goes out to the man who has had the ill luck to espouse a human hydrant, for if there is any woman under the sun who gets upon one's nerves, it is the lachrymose sis ter whose tears-are always on tap, and who turns on the waterworks at the slightest provocation, or no provoca tion at all. No one should be expected to endure having such a damp, moist, unpleasant body tied around their necks, and so if excessive weeping Is not a divorceable offense, it should be made one. A wife who is a good; cheerful, sinner is simply a matri monial prize compared to the wife who is a weepy saint. For there is always the chance of reforming- the sinner, but, there is nothing- you can do with a woman who is a tear Jug, except to walk on tiptoe- around her, and try to keep from jostling her so she won't sIod over. You can't argue with her be cause if you differ with her on the slightest point, she floods the place wiLii ner tears, you can t tell her of a fault because tn eririofKf. invthim, she does is a signal for hysterics. What she wants she gets, because she sits down and howls for It until it is given to her to shut her up. She evades all of the duties and burdens of life by the simple process of doing the cry baby act. iThere is no more contemptible type or woman than the weeper beeause she has found out that, tears are a graft, and she works them for" all they are worth. Experience has taught her that it is easier to cry than it Is to toil, and deny herself, and so she takes the water route to the goal -of her desires. Observe the woman whoi Is a free and easy weeper, and you will see that she is nothing else. She never exer cises anything but her lachrymose glands. Is she a miserable housekeeper, one of the women whose beds are never swept under, whose bread is always heavy, whose meat is always overdone or underdone, and whose families are poisoned with mean food? She doesn't go to work, and wrestle with the broom, and the cook book, and make a decent home. Oh, no. If anybody dares to say a word about how untidy things are, or to criticise an un eatable dinner, she jusf'boo-hoos and boo-hoos until someone Is fool enough to try to comfort her.

Will you come to me then, if I send for you?" -"I will come to you from the ends of the earth whenever you send for me," -he declared passionately, as he jammed his hat over his eyes and left the house. Elizabeth watched him until he dis appeared around the corner. she looked down at the modest sapphire and diamond engagement ring on her ringer, ana suddenly lifted it to her lips. How sturdily independent he was, this poor lover of hers! How proud she was of him how they two could work together for future suc cess: suppose she waited until he had made good, had attained the manage ment of the mills they would be several-years older and years are long! That afternoon Elizabeth went and had a long talk with her guardians. The two weeks passed rapidly for Teddy Drummond. He felt that the hour of hia doom was approaching. J ."no girl brougnt up as Elizabeth had been, nursed in the lap of luxury, could hesitate about marrying a poor man. Of course when she had accepted him, they had both been madly in love, and down underneath her knowledge of his poverty must have always crept the comforting thought that she had enough money to make things right. Now, she understood that he could not rido in his wife's motor cars, live in the houses she bought, admire the lovely clothes she wore while he perhaps merely paid for his own ward robe and cigars. "Never!" he pounded his fist on his desk. "Did you speak, Mr. Drummond?" piped a timid stenographer. "What is the date?" he inquired mildly enough. "The 30th," she answered. N "Great Jove, this is the day!" He looked wildly about his desk for some overlooked missive, for she was going to send for him. He found it, feeling the old delicious thrill at sight of her handwriting. "Dear Teddy: Drive your car around to 7 Primrose terrace at 4 o'clock and pick me up. I promised an answer today. Elizabeth." After that he was very quiet for the rest of the afternoon, and at ten min utes before the hour he went down and looked dismally at his very good looking roadster. "It will cut some figure among the handsome motors of Elizabeth's friends. Now, let me think Primrose terrace is in Forrest Park must be having tea with some of her impecunious friends."

Elizabeth opened the door, clad in her pretty afternoon frock. "They do notkeep a servant, so I Just answered, the bell. I knew it must be you," she said ushering him thru a small hall into a lovely living room, furnishei plainly but with such a home atmos phere that poor Teddy longed to cry out and say,. "This is the house of my dreams cannot you come and llv with me here?" "How do you like it. Ted?" she asked suddenly, watching him. "Great," he breathed sharply, and then he turned around and- took her hands in his. "It was a house like this.

I besides he performed in a similar manner during tne entire series. 119 guesswork on balls and strikes was extremely bad and neither batter nor pitcher know how to figure him out. He made them on both sides but this department will leave it to R.

Altho Topeka finished on the little end yesterday. Shorty Pierce pitched a better game than Boyd, the opposing hurler. Pierce walked one man and struck out eight. Boyd walked two and struck out. only five. Pierce held Independence to two earned runs, and six hits for a total of eight bases. To peka's three runs were earned off Boyd, while the Solons touched him for eight hits for a total of fifteen bases. As a batter Pierce hit a single and a home run. while Boyd got no hits and struck out three out of four trips to the plate. Peterson started the rally in the seventh that tied the score. He crashed a single into right field after two were down, and promptly scored on Benn's triple to left center. Pierce then hit one down to Fisner which the first baseman couldn't handle and Benn came home with the tying run. The Topeka club left last night for Salina, where it will open a series of three games with the Millers this aft ernoon. The Solons will also play at Hutchinson and Independence before returning home for a game with Sa lina May 26. Every player on the squad is making the present trip with the exception of Stipp, who after base when Pierce caught him nap ping. Peterson rubbed the ball all over the runner while two feet from the bag but Doyle was dreaming about the cow that jumped over the jnoon and refused to call Lowrance out. Had Runner Out Twice. Butler then dumped a dinky grounder to Wiskeno. who. coming in and fielding the ball fast, shot it into Benn's hands. Benn not only tagged Lowranre out but had the runner blocked away from the plate in such a manner that he hasn't touched it yet. Still Doyle, standing off to one side, called the runner safe. Quick to take advantage of the situation. Butler made the lead good by scoring on a squeeze play when Frankenhoff bunted, while Fisher grounded to Bocky for the third out. Pierce then cracked out his homer fn the other half of -the inning but the run that I.owrance had made after being out twice was too much for the Solcns to overcome. The visitors scored their first run in the initial round when Butler dou bled after two were clown and ime home on a single by Frankenhoff. A single and two errors were responsi ble for another Independence run in the fifth. With Boyd pitching in fine style the two runs looked large until the last half of the seventh when the Solons tied it up. After two were in the discard. Peterson singled and scored on Benn's screaming triple to l"ft center. Pierce then oozed one down the first base line which was too hot for Fisher and Lowrance to handle, altho they both tried it. and Bonn completed the knot.

The way the Solons rode him yesterday certainly wouldn't help to put him in a pleasing mood for the next series. As a general thing this department haa sense enough to know that little or nothing can be accomplished by riding the umps. But when an umpire proves himself so Incompetent as Doyle did yesterday it's a shame to leava him in the league. It la not the purpose, nay. not for an instant, to even insinuate that Doyle intends to do anything but what he thinks is fair and right but to the Topeka fans, the players and Man ager Cooley he simply appears to be WHY DO GIRLS LEAVE HOME?

This is the interesting situation in the company's affairs as was revealed Tuesday wRen the stockholders and directors held their annual sessions at peka attending the meetings were O. B. f rufler and T. C. Whiteker. Reports at the meeting showed that the motor car has made during the time it has been in operation $6,634 over and above all expenses, including depreciation, which is $334 more than the original cost. As a result Gufler says that the company plans to in stall another car at once. The new car will be used to handle express, milk and cream and all kinds of per- ishable products. The Leavenworth Topeka lost $2,000 a month in .192 but due to the installation of the motor car last fall and a general improvement in the service, this amount was reduced to $1,000 a month last year. So far this year the company's loss has averaged about $300 per month and Oufler says it is hoped that the road will be on a self sustaining basis before 1923. According to Gufler, these deficits have been met to date by special tax levies and the creation of benefit aid districts, and for the same reason he says tne company is able to show at this time resources in excess of its liabilities.

THE scientists who produced LURA Liquid Shampoo, the won derful new tonic (or the hair, have re-discovered an old Egyptian secret of the toilet. 1 1 comes from an age when physical beauty was an object of religious wor ship. And so these people of Egyptian times left many hieroglyphic records of their practices, particularly that of the care oj the hair. The Care of the Hair Egyptians, who worshipped beauty and to whom its enchantment and preservation was a religious duty, used henna to brighten and give life lo tbe hair without changing its color. Founded on their ancient formulas, we have blended the tonic henna with -Lura Liquid Shampoo, and call it Lura Henna Shampoo. Without the henna, the shampoo is known as Lura Ideal Shampoo. This latter preparation we will speak of later. A Wealth of Beauty in Lura Henna Shampoo The charm of a woman is found in her glorious hair; the well-groomed man. is the man whose hair indicates a careful toilet. Lura Henna Shampoo makes pos sible the most careful and healthful attention to the hair because of the tonic and medicinal qualities of henna. Lura Henna Shampoo eradicates the cause of hair and scalp troubles and gives new life to the hair. 1 1 may be used freely by persons of any age. It give a glossiness, a silky-sheen, a golden tint that is not possible by the use of any other shampoo or tonic 1 1 brings back that wonderful natural beauty: that youthful lustre. Not a coloring or a dye Lura Henna Sham poo will not tint the hair one particle "more than desired for beau ty. Follow the directions. A bottle of Lura Henna Shampoo lasts many weeks, as it re quires leas quantity than any other shampoo and therefore is the most economical on the market. Another Form of Lura Lura Ideal Shampoo This is a rich, cleansing liquid, without henna, for those who do not peed a. tonic shampoo.
