Today Topeka has the pleasure of
entertain the chief executive of
sister state. Indiana sends Governor
J. Frank Hanly to Kansas today to
deliver d lecture on 1.-THE Patriotism
of Peace"
Governor Hanly can rightfully be
classed as one of the really great"
governors of the present biennium.
He is one of the men who does things.
There are four governors who have
come to the front in the public mind
in the past six months. These four
are LaFollette of Wisconsin, Folk of
Missouri, our own Governor Hoch,
and Governor HanIy of Indiana.
LaFoIIette and Folk had made rec
ords heretofore, but the other two
had not.
The Indiana governor is much like
Governor Hoch in many respects. He
is a self-made man. He is spell
binder of the first water He is a
man of high ideals and strict prin-
ciples. He is a Methodist in religion
and a Republican politically.
a sample of the sort of backbone
this Hoosier governor has is shown by
his recent pronunciamento that tip
piers need not ask for places under
his administration-that no drinking
men need apply. A policy of that
kind, even in prohibition Kansas
would probably disappoint a good
many active politicians or cause a
sudden and large accession to the tee
totaler ranks, and it would require a
great amount of stamina and force to
stand by such a declaration. It was
because of no sentiment that Gov
ernOr Hanly took this stand; he did
it as a matter of business. The great
railway companies and other large
corporations will not employ drinking
men, and Governor Hanly argued
that If it is a good policy for private
corporations it is also good for a
state.
Another thing recently accom-
piished by Governor Hanly was the
abolition of the cigarette. He pushed
through the Indiana legislature a
measure which comes as near stopping
both the sale and the use of cigarettes
as can be devised. The cigarette is
now an outlaw in Indiana.
Other commemorative sometimes
poke a little fun at the Hoosier state
because of some traditional back
woodsness' about it, yet it has pro-
! duced some characters of ruggedness
and strength. Benjamin Harrison
came from Indiana. Our present vice
president is a Hoosier, and one of the
young leaders of the United States
senate is Albert J. Beveridge-
although Senator Beverages early life
in Kansas may, of course, have had
something to do with starting him on
his eareer-at least kansans intend tc
think so. Governor Hanly is another
of the same type. He was left bv hi,

Laziness Antitovin

The antitoxin for laziness is more
than joke. It is a genuine product of
science The discovery is based upon
the theory that physical exhaustion is
the result of a poison in the tissue
caused by strain. To use a mechanical
figure: The furnace fires of the body
are forced and famed into tremendous
heat. In the combustion Of the fuel
the CRATES are clogged with cinders.
These cinders left over in the tissues
are poison. The poison is counteracted
by the counter poison-the antitoxin.
The real value of the discovery,
doubtless, is to be found in its ability
to counterfeit nervous exhaustion and
to strengthen conyalescents.
But the Imagination applies it to
many things.
The college athlete whose veins are
infused with the stuff ought to beat
his competitor, and thus the hypoder-
mic syringe must be added to the gym
nasium. The golf and the tennis and
the basketball player will also want the
decoction.
And every fan will want to see his
team inoculated. Dope may win the
pennant.
And who will bet on the races SO
long as he is ignorant of how much
each horse has been syringed?
Yet, the pace of civilization is rapid
enough now.

PUNISH THE WRECKERs.


The public IS to be congratulated on
the fact tht General Manager Hurley
has taken prompt action to bring to
Justice the party or parties who
wrecked the Santa Fe train near EN-
poria Sunday morning. This is a
matter in which the public is vitality
interested, because if train wrecking
is not promptly punished there IS no
telling how far it will be carried, and
the public is the greatest sufferer in
train wrecks.
1t is difficult to believe the theory
of some of the Santa Fe officials that
the recent attempted wrecks were the
work of strikers. Only hend IS
CAPABLE of deliberately wrecking a
train, whether for the purpose of rob
berry or to ''get even" with the rail-
road company whose train is wrecked.
There is a possibility, of course, that
there might be such fends in the
ranks of strikers. but their action
could not possibly meet the approval
Of any considerable number of men,
and neither would it help their cause
IN a bad train wreck the railroad
company is only secondary sufferer
The innocent employees and the travel
ers who are killed or manned because
of the wreck are the ones who suffer
the worst This is why the deliberate
wrecking of a train is so fendish-
Any human beings who would sacri-
fee the lives Of innocent human beings
for revenge on a corporation, for rob
berry, or for any other motive should
certainly be punished to the fullest
extent of the law.

the stomach of an OK or of a child who
plays ten hours a day in the mountain
air, for its digestion, and aniline dyes
are an active poison. In addition to
this the inspectors say that the candy
