THE men ARE NO GOOD.
Such is the Consensus of
WOmen's Opinion
On the Work Done By Men For
Law and Order.
Mrs. Lindsey's Remarks Find General
Endorsement Among the
Temperance People.

The stand taken by Mrs. H. c. Lind
sey in the interview in Thursday's 5
Journal is the principal topic of CONVEX
sation among the temperance element
in Topeka and jOintists are wondering
what viii come next. Mrs. Lindsey s
position is generally endorsed by the
women.
Mrs. H. c. Lindsey, who was Mary
Wolff before her marriage, is a brave
little woman and am just as proud Of
her as I can be-" said Mrs. Lucia o.
Case. Il am glad that she has taken
this stand for I know that she is i'll
earnest and means what she says and
At was noble and brave thing to do
Then Mrs. Case continued: 4 have
often thought that the women would
have to get together and do something.
but it would not do for one like me
who is known as a temperance crank
To take the lead. People would say
that I was a temperance crank and
they would pay no attention to me. 1t
is different with Mary Wolff She does
not believe as I do about saloons. She
thinks they should be licensed and do
not believe they should be allowed to
exist at all People viii pay more at
tention to what she does
Il wish that something might be
done soon. Things are growing worse
and worse and it is evident that Mary
" Off has good reason to think that
some one is being paid to let the drink
IKE Mary might do something. I don't
believe that the officers would dare to
disregard the wishes of the people.
There has been an organization of
men known as the Committee of Sew
enteen but what have they done
About the only thing that I can see is
big bills of expenses. They have not
convicted anyone to amount to any
thing.
Sometimes I have felt like .goine, out
and working UP evidence myself 1t
surely can be secured and I do not see
why the men do not do it but it may be
as Mary says that the men are not in
IereSted In this question as much as the
women are. Then when men go into
court and perjure themselves I believe
IN going after them. I know that Judge
Hazen won't be trifled with If he finds
mat people go into his court and perjure
themselves he will make it warm for
them L know and I think that this
would be an excellent time to have
some examples that would teach such
people the value of an oath.
There are many people in Topeka !

are many who have had similar ex-
perIences and L do hope that they will /

LOTTTE BONES, SNTB
Was Administered By a Woman Who
Had Relatives on the Stage.

Columbia, S. c.. Dee. 31.-The chaperon
who requested the withdrawal of Miss
Crane, the actress. from the hall in
Charleston, last week, is said to have been
Mrs Lewis, formerly Miss Rhett.
The other chaperons. dreading notoriety,
came out in cards, discIaiming RESPONSE
bility for the action and heartily con-
demning it The press of the whole state
is also denouncing the action.
Captain Hamlet directed Cadet Peter
son, who escorted Miss Crane to the bali.
to retire to his ship, under the misappre>
hension that Mrs. Lewis spoke for the
body of the chaperons.
Miss Lewis. daughter of the chaperon,
had something to do with the affair, the
gossips have it. She is strong minded,
makes speeches on equal rights and the
young men testified their disapproval by
leaving her dance card empty, while Miss
Cranes was full.
Scorn Mrs. Lewis position is increas-
ed by the knowledge that two of her Sis
ters-in-law have been on the stage. though
they only took minor parts.

the work your government has done for
agriculture in your state. and who thought
I would be able to get valuable hints from
your agricultural department, as, accord

Kindly accept this as an apology for the

Your excelency will greatly obIge me
if you would instruct your agricultural
department to send me the full Reports

He Could Be United States Senator,
But Won't.

Baltimore. Dec. 31.-Gov. Lowndes
has withdrawn from the senatorial
contest.
Speaking of the senatorial situation
and his position in regard 10 il, the
governor says:
This conclusion I have reached af-
ter carefully considering that 1 was
surrendering my nomination by the Re
publican party for the office now hold
and the circumstances under which 1
was elected to that office.
I believe that if 1 desired to use the
patronage of my office to make myself
the senator from Maryland, il could be
done"
Gov. Lowndes was asked what mis-
ideas were regarding the senatorial
race and what would be the effect of
his withdrawal. He said:
Judge McComas has a strong toll
lowing. He is eminently qualified to
represent Maryland in the senate of the
United States"

Yer men who believes in the annexation
of Hawaii The islands should be an
ne7zed without delay he says. 1t would
be a great blunder not to do So I see
that there is now some chance of the
completion of the Nicaragua canal This
makes it all the more important that the
islands should belong to this country and
should become our property without de-
lay.
LAS a matter of fact it has been the
intention of the United States for years
to annex Hawaii. From 1921 to this day
we have always insisted that no other
country should have the islands. During
President Pierce's administration the
islands would nave been annexed but for
the death of the king The old king made
a deed of the islands to this country, ana
Secretary of State Marcy, one of th4
greatest Democratic statesmen. was pre-

The old king died and the new king was
