MISS rU1L1s DISCHARGED.
Said to Have Suffered Because Testi-
flying Against Gov. Smith,


Leavenworth. Feb. 22.-There was a
stir at the Soldiers Home hospital Sat
urday afternoon over some trouble be-
tween Gov. Smith, DR.. McNary and the
hospital nurses because of a visit to the
hospital and the employment in a pri-
vate family of Miss Tullis.
Gov. Smith demanded that DR.. Nc
Nary discharge Miss Tullis as a nurse
in his family and unless it was done he
would be suspended.
Miss Tullis is a trained nurse, and
Miers Powell was in her ward a the
Home hospital before he was ordered
confined in the insane ward. She testi-
fled during the last part of the investi-
cation against Gov. Smith.
Miss Tullis was requested to resign as
a nurse on the grounds of insubordina-
ton. She sympa thized with Powell and
knew a great deal of what was going
on.
Miss Tullis has given a long state
ment to the public in which she states
that she was discharged simply because
she testified against Gov. Smith during
the investigation.

HERE'S REAL WORK FOR THE
CJTIRCTJ

A car load of beer being unloaded in
the alley between Second and Third
streets Saturday afternoon surprised
many people who passed along the street.
The beer was unloaded and put in the
basement of a store building. A whole
sale agency of the Ferd Helm Brewing
company has been located there and the
beer was the first supply that has been
received. The agency has been maintain
ed in Topeka for some time but it has re-
Gently been moved to the new location.

and where the jointists receive their sup

Kansas City to secure stock, but under
the present favorable conditions the joint
list can have his supply unloaded at his
door in little more than a moments no.

The police department is doing abso-

Quor law is concerned and the men who
were ''in favor of enforcing the law when
they were appointed have Gone like their
Republican predecessors and have ignored
it's existence. The church temperance
people seem to have even quit talking
about the matter.
The jointists who were considera bly,

they are no longer afraid. At one of the
freight depots in Topeka two fine bars
are awaiting their owners. They will be

He Learns What silver Dollar Is

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, December TO-
VIM. Jennings Bryan arrived from
Houston at Z o'clock this morning and
started for Mexico at II o'clock. He
received his first practical introduction
to the cheapness of Mexico's money at
a bank here just before going to the
train He had $500 in American money
exchanged and received return for
it $1,000 in Mexican money. Bryan
thought that some mistake had been
made by the bank and could not un-
derstand how it was that he received
such big sum until he had figured
it out for himself at the current rate
of exchange He says his next step
will be to see whether Mexican dol
lars purchasing power is as great in
Mexico as an American dollars is in
this country.

MR.. DAVIES VIEWS.

An interview with Mr.. TheO. III.
Davies printed in another column,
very fairly states the attitude of
some excellent men in this com
munity.
In stating that ''inevitably a
connection must be re-established
between the governing power and
the mass of the people," that:
"there must be a force in the con
duct of affairs that will show the
strong, the missing utterances OF
the popular voice." Mr.. Davies
adopts the favorite doctrine of
popular sovereignty of the Amer
lean people. But that man,
with English antecedents, and a
full knowledge of the relations
which his Government invariably
establishes with the weaker
races, should hold these wives is
rather surprising. Mr.. Davies
knows very well, that one thing
the British power never does. 1t
never gives the masses among the
weaker" races, over which it do
inmates, the power to rule even in
local affairs. This is not because
Great Britain is unjust, but be-
cause long experience with ''weak-
er" races teaches her, that they
cannot be trusted, and British in
terests will not be safe under such
irresponsible conditions. The Am
orleans here are simply applying
British experiences to such mas
SEES" as we have on these Islands.
Mr.. Davies, on the other hand
seems to be urging the force of
the rule that prevails largely in
America, that the masses must
rule. 1t is a singular interchange
of positions. We do not believe
that any English statesman
would, if he had all the facts be
fore him, endorse for a moment
Mr.. Davies views.
Mr.. Davies honestly, of course,
believes that the natives are capa-
bic of governing themselves and
the whites too. Perhaps he be
lieves that the whites will be
kindly allowed to ''assist" in GOV
ernment. The decided opinion of
thoughtful men is, that if the
masses vote, here, the natives
will decline their assistance
Just as the voting power in Amer

lea and elsewhere declines the as
siStance of statesmen.
AS to the method of controlling

does not make any suggestion.
and that is another problem we
need light upon.

solution is not free from many en-
