MORRISON ON SILVER.
He Thinks We May Adopt the Double
Standard Regardless of Europe.

Waterloo. H., April ls.--Hon. William
Morrison. who arrived here yesterday;
was asked by an Associated Press report
er today TO give his views on the silver
question. He said his presence at home
at this time had no connection with or
relation 10 the June Democratic conven-
tion. He had simply stopped over on his
way West, where the interstate commerce
commission had some business. He said
that during the canvass last year he had
made several speeches and in one discuss
ed the silver question freely and fully,
stating his own views.
THE importance of this subject" he
said, is second only 10 the tariff. It's
unsatisfactory and unsettled condition Is
believed to have aggravated the financial
and business difficulties through which
we have been compelled TO pass. The
place which silver shall occupy In our
monetary system. II seems, is question
which will not down. The efforts TO set
tie It through the Sherman bin by the
Republican party was a confessed failure.
That party has.ened 10 Join In undoing
Its work. The sentiment In favor of a
larger use of silver and on terms inter-
changeable with gold seems 10 be grow
ing both here and abroad. Apparently
nobody in Europe is courageous or re-
lentless enough TO attempt the double
standard without Eneland's consent. We
can safely do this with England and all
Europe opposing. 1t is not the legal ten
der quality which makes our silver dol
lars more valuable than the silver in
them. IL is because. under the practice
of our financial system, they are inter-
changea BILE with gold through the treas
ury. When silver was dfscredited by be-
ing left out OF the coinage laws of 1873
there was nothing In the relative values
OF silver and gold TO Justify II. This Is
not the only cause. hut II is one reason
why the commercial value OF silver Is not
more than II Is. In prosperous times we
could safely use a larger amount OF sill
yer. always providing for its convertible
ity into money which does not get its
value by law. The honorable secretary Of
the interior. Hoke Smith. said In speech
that the bullion In the treasury was be-
ing coined as fast as the mints could do
Il. which would increase our circulation

TO mean that the bullion in the treasury,

Change of Heart.

a representative Of the Associated Press
Senator Thurston denied that he had
changed his views on the financial ques-
ton during his tour in the West. He had
always declard himself in harmony with
the Republica national platform. favor
ing American bi-metallisfn. He was
strongly opposed 20 the opening OF the
ruints TO the free coinage OF the silver
nroduct OF other countries until an inter
national bi-metalIic agreement had been
reached. He was in favor. however. OF
the free coinage of the American product
under legislation which would maintain
the equal purchasing and debt-paying
mower OF all American dollars
senator Thurston predicted that the
next congress would give no financial
Ievtslatlon. for the reason that. while
there vas a majority for free silver IN

stood committed to the gold standard 70

Washington City. April l3-The interest

Is undisguised. The letter which Mr.

but largely devoted TO silver. He will
probably speak once In Kentucky and
once in Tennessee early In May. His
Kentucky speech may be delivered at
Louisville. although there have been re-
quests from his old home In Covington 20
talk 70 the people there. In Tennessee
he will speak at Memphis or Nashville.
Other members OF the cabinet will also
speak on the silver question. although no
place has been fixed on. They believe that
campaign OF education on the money
question will have the effect OF checking
the movement toward free silver. which
they believe has been a serious menace
TO the integrity of the Democratic party.

that under the provisions of section IL

About 800 people peti:ioned the coun-
Gil last night to prevent the erection of
the lower dam. These were the alleged
"heslth" petitions which have been
talked about for week.
They are in line with the injunction
suit that Capt Joe Waters proposes to
bring and he was present at the meeting
to urge immediate action.
Capt. Waters said that the health of
the city demanded that the council
should prevent the erection of the Oak
land dam because it would result in
making a cesspool of the river in the
city.
The petitions were referred to the
committee on health.

WIQUAWS' WIFE.
She Missed the Train and He Is LoOkin
For Her.

She Missed the Train and He L. Looking
There is tender aching place in the
heart and vacant yearning place in the
home of the house of WiQuaws, for he
has lost his squaw.
About half moon ago Wiquaws, with
several others of his native wood and
prairie near St Marys, set their faces to
the south to the land of the New Kirk
ians, where they were to abide a time
and enjoy themselves. But the time
came that they must return the way
they came, and as the great father of the
Santa Fe had snapped them some tickets
for few ponies, they were to ride.
The train was Just about due when
Mrs. Wiquaws remembered summer
sale of red blankets she had read about
in the morning paper and her womanly
instincts persuaded her to go up town
and get few samples. 1t was while she
was there that the train came and it
wouldn't wait and when it went it took
her Wiquaws with it.
Today Wiquaws was filed with re-
morse, nothing worse, and going to the
Santa Fe passenger department entered
an application for the return of his wife,
AS a general thing the Santa Fe is not
in the "wives recovered" business, but

was touched and will make the effort

MORRILL, FOR MARTIN.
The Governor Gives the Chief
Justice Strong Endorsement.
NO SUBSTANCE TO THE FIGHT

Alleged to be Made ON the Chief Jus
tIce-POIieIcaI Matters.
Governor E N. Morrill, does not sane
ton the fight being made on Chief JUS
tics David Martin by the editor of the
official state paper through the Kansas
City paper he represents in Topeka.
When seen by a STATE JOURNAL re-
porter last evening, Governor Morrill,
said: 81 was not aware that there was
any dissatisfaction with Judge Martin
until this Kansas City correspondent SO
informed me this afternoon since my re-
turn from Hiawatha.
81 can not believe there is such feel
ing to any extent
''The people of Kansas have great
faith in the integrity of Judge Martin
and in my opinion there is not a man in
the state who has so firm a hold on the
people as a whole as Judge Martin"
''Don't you believe, governor, that if
the Republican state central committee
should fail to place Judge Martins name
on the ticket he would be run as an in
dependent candidate and elected by a
large majority?"
"Yes, think very large majority of
the people of Kansas, irrespective of
party, favor the continuation of Judge
Martin on the supreme bench.
II had not heard anything said about
any other candidates for chief justice
until this afternoon, and l have supposed
Judge Martin would be made the csndi-
date by common consent.
"Judge Carver has been mentioned
today as a possible candidate, but as l
understand the constitution he is not
eligible on account of his place on the
appellate court bench.
'The constitution says Judge of any
court can not hold any other Office dur
ing the term for which he was elected
or appointed. SO that Judge Carver
would not be eligible as a candidate
for chief justice even if he should re-
sign"

RACES FOR THE FOURTH.
Some News of Interest to Those Who
Like Horse Races.


The trotting and pacing races at the
Fair grounds track on the afternoon of
the Fourth promise to furnish fair sport.
Five races have already been made up
and there may be another or SO arranged
before the horses are called out
About forty horses are doing regular
work at the track. They are mostly
youngsters and are being put in shape
for the Holton meeting in the last week
in July, and other events. The Rolton
entries have closed and show an average
entrance of 10 horses in each race.
Today was speed day with several of
the stables at the fair ground. The horses
are logged every day, but on Tuesday
and Friday mornings from about until
10 a. N. fast work is done. Several of
the stables do this so that they may send
their horses with each other and get them
used to going in company Each horse
is given three fast heats, and it is not
unlike a race. A number of these horses
have already been entered for the Fourth
of July matinee.
The races. will be .one-half mile heats,
as the owners do not wish to give their
horses records, and best two heats of
three.
The first event on the card is a two
year-old trot and has three entries. They
are Cantell by Altell, owned by n. New
ton; Lagado by Jackdaw. owned by R.
1. Lee. and Bob Botsford by Alcryone,
owned by F. II. Foster. They are ex-
pected to do the half in 1920.
The second event is race for green
trotters of about the three-minute class,
and already has seven entries This will
probably be one of the most exciting and
amusing race.
The three-minute pacing will call up a
field of six starters
Probably the best racing of the after
noon will be the fourth and fifth events,
special trotting and pacing.
In the special trotting, Reckless, 1864,
by So Long. owned by 2 Ramsdell; Fair
Laura, by Fergus McGregor,. owned by
R. L Lee. and Alcryone, 1928. by Alcryone,
owned by Guilford Dudley, have been

BABY CAMEL SCARED HIM.

Tramp Who Had Taken a Few Drinks
Makes "a Mistake in "a Farm House,
A camel is the ugliest animal alive,
but a baby camel can give its old folks
cards and spades on ugliness- 1t is all
legs and bumps. Last season the great
Wallace shows had one which was too
small to take out. and it was left on the
farm. 1t enjoyed the privileges of the
ground like any other calf.
A tramp came along one day and sized
up the place as an exceedingly prosper
Gus one. A farm house of such palatial
pretentions, with so many brick barns,
ought to be good for "hand out" Mr..
Tramp sized up the surroundings for
big dogs. He saw none and slid over
the fence
Just then the baby camel, which had
been lying in the shade saw him and
decided to go for the usual petting that
1t gets from all visitors. 1t was in the act
of arising after the fashion which only a
camel knows when he saw it. 1t started
toward him with its peculiar gait. This
tramp had had few drinks just as he
left town and he was not quite GER
tain, but he saw enough to conclude the
climate was not healthfuL With a scream
of terror he fed. One bound put him
over the fence and a poker hand could
have been dealt on his coat tails as he
went He never looked back; the last
seen of him he was going over the hills
that skirt the Wabash river
