NEWER IDEALS OF PEACE. BY Jane Adams
eVo' PIP 2lS. The Macmillan Company.
In these days the most successful advocates
or peace are not those sentimentalists who shud-
ocr at the sight Of blood. even our ethical
theorists; they are rather the workingmen. who
py the memory of disastrous conflicts, have
come to see that industrial prosperity and social
order are higher forms of patriotism than war
fare The laboring classes do not always OK
press themselves clearly on the subject OF war
and peace They are prone to use dreadful
words and to cheer carnage although in every
day life they are the kindliest of all creatures.
This, at all events, is the impression of Miss
Adams She has been observing workingInen
and the lower classes at close range for many
years. and she finds that the ancient kindness
which sat beside the cradle OF the race" a vague
but very real impulse toward good fellowship
charity, justice and cooperation. is actually
bringing about the reign of peace more erec-

KELLY BRIEF IS FILED.
1t Has to Do With Sale of Warrants
+ : of okietlpnla-

The brief of the state of Kansas in
the Okla homa warrant case against
ex-State Treasurer T. 7. Kelly was
filed yesterday in the supreme court.
1t IS claimed that Kelly sold Oklahoma
warrants at par to his friends, the
bankers, which warrants drew per
cent, when he should have retained
those warrants in the custody of the
state, and let the interest accrue to
the state. By selling off the warrants,
Kelly deprived the state of $6,6S1 in
terest, and the state is suing to re-
cover that amount "a
The argument set forth by the state
in brief follows:
First-A public officer. like the
state treasurer, has only such powers
as the law positively authorizes and
confers upon him, and such incidental
powers as are necessary or proper for
the efficient discharge of his duties
imposed by positive law. In other
words, a public officers powers and
duties are to be found in positive
statutes, and he has no authority be-
yond the statutes
Second-There is no law authoriz-
ing the state treasurer to sell the pub
lie property of this state, and the
Oklahom warrants were public prop
erty.
Third-For an infringement of a
legal right the state is entitled to COM
pensatory damages
F'ifth-The doctrine Of estoppel by
acquiescence or otherwise can not be
invoked against the state

PANICS CAN'T HURT.
Senator Warren Says They Serve to
Improve Conditions

New York, Nov. 1.-Senator Francis
E warren Of Wyoming. who has just
returned from a vacation trip abroad,
was greatly interested IN the recent
nnac1al disturbance and asked many
questions about it when he landed. He
said he believed there was no occasion
Tor alarm, as the troubles were merely
caused by the swinging back of the
pendulum.
These panics can not hurt the coun-
try, said Senator Warren. IT have
noticed that the country after each
financial depression Is much stronger
than II was before We see how really
strong the nation is when these panics
come. The fundamental industries of
the nation are never shaken by these
conditions. 1 am not advocating any
!dea to take powers or rights away
from states, but do think that some
thing stronger than state control is
necessary to govern the trust COM

least 20 per cent in reserve, but We

OUT OF POLITICS.
Mayor Graham of Wichita Issues Order
to Employees

Wichita, Nov. loving to the grow
ing interest in the forthcoming election
to decide whether Wichita shall change
her government to the commission plan
day to keep his administration out OF
the political fight which is sure to en-
sue.
The employees of the city naturally
oppose the calling of special city
election at this time. They contend
that Mayor Graham's administration is
producing first-class results, and thai
there is no need for change until the
time for change arrives naturally
Mayor Graham desires that the c1t1-
zens of Wichita shall decide the ques-
ton of government by commission
without any political interference from
his administration and he has issued
an order for all employees of the city to
keep their hands out of the fight He
is anxious that the question shall be
settled by the voters of Wichita on its
merits
This is the first time in Wichita's
history that any mayor has issued such
an order. Heretofore the city admins
tration has used it's employees as po-
uticaI machine in city elections.
The following is Mayor Graham's or
der issued today:
Wichita, Kan, Oct 81, 1907.
To All Heads of Departments and City
Employees:
The practice of city employees taking
part in the discussion of political ques-
tions or engaging in active work for
the defeat or success of any public
question during working hours is not
for the best interests of the city and
I desire 1t to be distinctly understood
that it will not be tolerated.
While I appreciate the support of all
administration policies by city en-
ployes, your first duty is to render as
faithfrl service TO the city as you
would expect to do to a private en-
ployer. -
Heads of departments will please
most for the information of all EN-
ployes.
