Lieut.. Col z. c. Little was the next
speaker. He spoke of the controversy
between the soldiers Of the civil war
into Malolos I saw a young soldier SIT
ting with his feet dangling in trench
that had just been captured. He was
discussing with another soldier the reia-
ton Of the soldiers of the day with the
soldiers OF the civil war. My dad was
soldier and knows all about this bust
ness, said the young man, I think ne
ought to have come in my place
Following Col. Little's speech the pre-
sentation of medals took place Inc
roll call was called and four young vet
Grams at time stepped to the tront ana
received their medals. Each medal was
pinned to the breast of a smoothed
faced veteran by a young lady. When
the medals had been presented to the
soldiers present the Saddest part OF the
ceremony took place. The presenting OF
medals to the parents of young soldiers
who gave up their lives in the Philip
pines Four medals, which viii never
respose upon the breasts Of those who
won them, were delivered to parents
whose eyes were filled with tears
The four dead soldiers whose names
were called are: Frank NJ AfcFadden,

Geo. w Mills, company I.
The medals were pinned on the sold

band started "A Hot Time, the official
fighting tune of the Twentieth" At
the close of the band number Sergt-
Bailey stepped to the center of the
stage and waved his hand for three
cheers and a tiger, the kind the boys
gave in thePhilippines.T The veterans VIII

Auditorium rang with the cheer that

Twentieth.
Col. Wilder S. Metcalf responded in
behalf of the regiment. He said: "On
behalf Of the members Of the Twentieth
Kansas wish to thank you most heart
lily for this substantial and appropriate
expression of regard and appreciation
We shall wear these medals proudly, we
shall cherish them tenderly and shall
hand them down to our descendants"

WOULD SPILL HIS BLOOD.
Fierce Declaration of ]. W. F. Hughes
Failed to Secure Endorsement


The law and order people are still in
doubt as to who shall be their cand1-
date for mayor at the ensuing election
The Republican Law Enforcement club
of Topeka held its second meeting IN
the Offices OF Troutman & Stone last
evening, and it was thought that the
matter would be decided. But condi-
tons were not thought to be favorable
so the meeting ended by the appoint
ment Of a. committee Of twelve which IS
expected to confer with a committee or
six from each of the law and order or
Plantations, the Women's league. Com
mittee Of Two Hundred, and the Young
Peoples Good Citizenship federation.
and these thirty people Will name the
candidate. The club which met last
night pledged itself to stand by TINS
candidate and it is probable that the
other law and order organizations viii
do the same when their committees are
appointed
The Women's league, through Mrs J..
D. Mcfarland. Mrs. IF. J. Bonebra&e
and Mrs. A. H Thompson, asked the
club to Withhold action for a short time
Here M. T. Campbell reported for the
committee of twelve, which was ap-
pointed to draw out candidates that
practically nothing had been accomp-
lished. This much, however came OUT

Of these men in order that their support

Hughes was sent for with the hope or
giving some assistance along this line
He came and addressed the club, but
did not give any very clear answer as
to how he desired to become a candt-
date It is probable, however. that
Colonel Hughes will be "a candidate for
the Office whether nominated by this
body or not It is me or no one with
him In speaking of his attitude as re-
cards the enforcement OF the prohibition
law. he said: Every act of mine IN the
council has been for the enforcement OF

unsolicited Compliments.

A man who, unsolicited and without
hope Of any personal gain, writes a let
ter complimenting anything that he is
pleased with, the thing of which he
writes must be worthy of what he says
about it. The following, which explains
itself. was recently received in the mail
by the General Passenger Agent of the
Lehigh Valley Railroad:

long since of a trip over the entire road

OUBAN QUESTION LOOMs UP
Constitution Is Nearly Ready For
Submission to Congress.

washington, Jan. 19.-The reports
from Havana that the constitution may
be completed in time to be considered
at this session Of congress has led to
discussion in congressional circles as to
the procedure likely to be adopted in
document of this character. 1t is ex-
pected that the constitution will be for
warded to the president and by him
submitted to congress. probably with
recommendations. In the house the un-
Outstanding prevails that any action on
the subject would be framed by the in
sular committee But it is not clear
what action. if any, is called for rel-
ative to the constitution Of what IS held
to be foreign territory, except as It
contains provisions regarding the United
States.
Chairman Cooper of the fnsu1ar COM
mittee says it would not be for con-
greSs to pass upon or ratify the constt-
tuition, as it is for the Cubans to DO
this for themselves He thinks it prob
able, however, that a declaratofy reso-
luton could be framed, expressing the
views Of congress as to the sufhciency OF
the constitution in ensuring a stable
and pacific government for Cuba, and
perhaps laying down the general plan
of turning over the island affairs to the
Cubans as soon as their constitutional
system is put into practice. In this,
however, the purpose would not be 50
much to pass on the constitution as to
see that the United States pledges OF
a pacific government were carried out
In case the constitution provides for an
American protectorate or gives other
provisions relating to the United States
special action might be required beyond
the mere resolution approving the sys-
tenn proposed. Chairman Knox. OF the
committee on territories. expresses the
belief there is not the slightest chance
of advancing the constitution so that il
can be considered at this session Of
congress. and he expects a Fabian pol
icy by which the Cubans will slowly
perfect their system and the United
States will gladly determine upon the
ultimate relations which are to exist
between this country and Cuba.
