The Republican state convention at Tope-
| ka yesterday demonstrated quite definitely
how much public sentiment" counts for In
Kansas. Il Kansas City star.
Well, yes. The Republicans Of
Kansas elected from the several coun-
tics OF the state 1924 delegates. and
they went down to Topeka and on an
average about 700 OF the 1924 voted
for the same candidates for men to
represent them on the state ticket.
A plurality as large as that is about
as near an expression Of "Public sem
timent" as 1t 10 possible to get 10 Q
state where there are 80 many good
men as can DO found as In the Kansas
Republican party.
Does the Star hold that In order to
get q fair expression Of public senti'
ment" every candidate must receive
the unanimous vote Of the conventioDP
Does tho Star hold that 800 men 10
q convention are more likely to repre-
sent public sentiment" than 700
menP
Or does the Star intend to intimate
that the minority Of 800 composed
the maximum Of honesty that 10 left
In this state, and that the 700 we're
simply rascalsP
Or does the Star mean to intimate
that any Kansas Republican delegate
who did not vote As the Star would
have dictated is political scouudrel,
and every delegate who voted as the
Star would have dictated is q political

CRIPPLED WORKMAN
REFUSES ALL CHARITY

Work, not charity, is what Samuel
Fahlarden asks of the Minneapolis
charities. Crippled so that he cannot
walk any great distance or do work
which requires him to stand, he is still
anxious to find work which will enable
him to support his wife and two chill
dren.
Both the Salvation Army and Asso-
ciated Charities are working on the case
and consider it worthy one. Both or
CARNATIONS have offered money and
food, only to meet with the same re-
that l want.''
Neither organization has facilities
for supplying the man with what he
asks, as the charities maintain no work
shop, and the fact that he wishes to
remain with and support his family pre-
vents his entering the army's industrial
home,
by trade, and, worked in a tailor shop
until, according. to his own broken
story, his legs ssgot limp and he fell
down. He IS still able to do repairing
work, at which he can remain seated
and with> the small sum he can earn
could maintain his frugal home and
keep his family together.
Staff Captain W. H. Gooding of the
Salvation Army now has the case in
charge, and is looking after the man
until employment is found. He is con
! fdent that somewhere in the city there
is A Job at which Fahlarden can earn
what he needs, and is anxious to hear
from anyone who can offer such employ
ment.

POLICEMAN IS KILLED
BY BROKEN LIVE WIRE

Facing death that he might prevent
injury to group Of small boys gathered
at Stevens avenue and Twenty-fourth
street yesterday afternoon, Patrolman
G C. Channels was instantly killed by
live wire that he was trying to put
beyond the reach Of the youngsters.
Channels was walked his beat when
he noticed several small boys on the
corner. He investigated and found
that they were gathered about broken
wire that hung to the sidewalk threat
ening death or injury. The officer first
made the boys step back and then at
tempted to lift the wire with his club
and place it across a branch of a tree
that it might be safe until an electri-
clan could repair it. The wire slipped
and Channels thougntlessly .grasped it
in his left hand.
The shock hurled him violently to the
ground, burning his hand and blacken-
ing his body. 81 guess I got it that
time,' he said to the frightened boys
WHO picked him up. He could say no
more, but became unconscious and died
q moment later. His body was re-
moved to the family residence, 1874

pronounced death due to accident.
Channels was married and had been
on the force since last January. He
was considered an efficient officer and
was member of the Police Benevolent

DIR. w. A. Mann, Alp Nicollet avenue,
and Otto Kohler, 70 Western avenue,

The complaint alleges that the two
men brought about the death of Eliza

The young woman died Saturday fol-
lowing an operation performed few
days before. Coroner j. M. Kistler was

everything, but yesterday afternoon he
broke down and admitted his part in
the affair.
He said he had given the Engdahl
girl money with which to procure the
services of physician, and that after

GUESTSAT CHURCRES

Memorial Sunday has come to be
scarcely less important than Memorial
day itself. Nearly every church in the
land devotes one or more services on
that day to national topics or to serv-
ice in which the Grand Army and the
great service Of the old soldiers to the
country are prominent.

some cases two Or more posts or auxil-
iaries went to the same church, and in
all cases programs were prepared which
were fitted to the occasion. Hennepin

list, Broadway Methodist, Thirteenth
Avenue Methodist, Fifth Avenue Con-
gregational, Fremont Avenue Congre-
gational, Como Congregational, Imman-
uel Baptist and st. Peter 9 Evangelical
Lutheran. were among the churches
which in the morning, were attended by
Grand Army men: and women, and
which had services especially prepared
for them. Indeed, every Congregations
al church in the city devoted either the
morning or evening service to patriotic
subjects, as did several Of the Method
list, Presbyterian and other denomina-
tions.
In all the churches the music was par
ticularly effective. :. Songs that cheered
the soldiers who battled for freedom
fortyfve years ago, poems that were
worth a regiment in inspiring men to
valor,' and sentiments of great leaders in
the dark hours of the civil war were
given to sympathetic and appreciative
audiences.
Services at the Soldiers Home at
Minnehaha were conducted in the home

women of the twin cities. DR.. J. s.
Montgomery was one Of the principal
speakers at the home meeting.
