COERCION OF VOTERS.

The action OF the county commission
ers in interesting themselves in the po-
litical sentiments of county employees,
and the attempt to coerce such voters to
the support of candidates supposed to
be in party accord with the county gov
eminent. is certain to bring severe crit
icism home to the commissioners.
The commissioners may attempt to
hide behind the statement that they did
not make any threats as to what they
would do with county employees who did
not vote the straight Republican ticket
No one has yet accused the commits
sioners of stating in so many words
what might be termed a threat Ian
guage is plain. but the old axiom that
actions speak louder than words may
be implied. The very fact that the COM
missioners questioned any county en-
ploye as to low he would vote over
stepped the bounds of the commission
ers' duties and was plainly an act to be
construed in but one way. In plain
words, it is not the business of the COM
missioners to question the political ac-
tions or beliefs of the county employees
The employees are expected to perform
certain tasks in a satisfactory manner
and to live up to certain rules of law
and society, but they are not required
by any law or precedent to vote as any
one may dictate. There are Office hold
ers in the court house, who do not come
under the authority of the commission
ers, who will not vote the Republican
ticket.
The commissioners did not question
these people, but only questioned those
whom they appoint to their positions
There can be but one inference. Had
the commissioners attended strictly to
their own business and kept out of the
political turmoil, as they certainly
should, there would have been no chance
to charge the commissioners with any
attempt at coercion.

prevented from marrying by the laws
of the land. whose mandates In his
earlier years he had so grossly trans
crossed. He found that he could not
live down his past. So it has been with
hundreds of men who after spending
years and years behind the walls, have
found it hard to return to the life of
civilian and of liberty. Reports of pris-
on officials say that often the men who
have been incarcerated after a few
months of complete liberty return to the
prisons and ask readmission. They find
the world, chilly and inhospitable, un-
able to forget the past. unwilling to pal

back inside where they at least can
have the assurance of existence. This

wAsHBURN AND FOOTBALL.

There is a very funny little comedy
on the boards at Washburn college in
which a small, f1axen haired lad named
Worsley is the hub.
The question was whether or not Mr..
Worsley should be allowed to indulge in
his favorite amusement. football. The
faculty.. in an unofficial sort of a way.
notified Mr.. Worsley that it had reason
to believe that he had disqualified him
self as an amateur football player by
hiring out last summer as shortstop on
a shortgrass baseball team. Mr.. Wors-
ley was informed that he must not play
football any more until the question of
his eligibility was settled.
Worsey gave the faculty the merry
ha-ha," and proceeded to register him
self as a student in the medical depart
ment of Washburn college. He then
played on the Washburn-M Medic team.
The next day the Washburn faculty
suspended him from school. and put no
time limit on the suspension. 1t was Of
ficially given out that the punishment
was nos because Worsley was known to
be ineligible, but because he played
when he was told not to.
There's still nothing to prevent Wors-
ley from playing football. The Wash
burn faculty can't expel him from the
medical school. because the medical
school faculty has the right to manage
it's own students. But as to holding up
Mr. Worsleys diploma and degree,
which are due next June, the Washburn
faculty certainly has the whip hand
Looked at frcn another point of view,
Worsley was not much to blame. and
the faculty is acting in a hasty and I'M
wise manner. Worsley was a good stud
ent and stood well in his classes No
formal charges of professionalism have
ever been made against him by any
other school When it was limited that
perhaps he had played baseball for
money, Worsley produced a signed
statement from the manager of the base
ball team to the effect that no salary
was paid to him. Evidently Worsley
thought that ought to settle it. So when
some members of the Washburn faculty
tried to keep him from playing in the
biggest game Of the year, Worsleys
friends figured that in order to make it
all right, and fix an easy way of es-
tcape, they would register Worsley in
the medical school, and this was done.
The consummate genius of this move
failed to impress the Washburn faculty.
Instead of accepting this artistic and
delicate suggestion on How to let the
matter DROP the faculty fiared up and
put Mr.. Worsley out into the cold, cold
world. Worsley is still a medical stud
ent. He viii have to be a doctor or
nothing, it seems.
With two faculties, washburn ap-
pears to be a house divided against it
self.
If it wasn't for the fact that Worsley
is bona fide student and really wants
to graduate. he would not care. of
course AS it is. the anti-crofessional
rule, as interpreted by the Washburn
faculty, has barred out a real student,
while some of the players who are tax
ing football and base-drum as a college
course are allowed to continue on the
team.
To an outsider it looks as though the
Washburn faculty made a mistake in
the first place, and is now trying to be
| consistent at any cost

Men hate 10 be called liars. but they all

Boys say there is nothing to shoot over

The average man is never half as bad

Every man imposes on his women folks

longer than men.
If married woman opens her pocket

it. public opinion of her husband goes UP

1t is a rare preacher who can make his
Sunday morning sermon so impressive
that conversation on it lasts beyond the
soup at dinner.
The women think that the most for
tunate individual in the world is the wife
of a railroad man who boards: she has
passes, and nothing to do.
What has become of the woman who
could make an apple pie that wasn't as
mountainous as Colorado, with hard
chunks of something under the crust?
The average girl lords it so around her
gone. her mother begins to creep out
more, like mouse when the cat is miss
