..Perfect System"

Shortly before congress adjourned a
United States senator asked Secretary
Taft for some papers on a question
which was about to come up. Mr.. Taft
made a note of the request. but the pa
pers were not forthcoming. The SEN
ator called upon the secretary, who ex-
pressed surprise. He pushed a button
and a messenger appeared. You re-
member, 1 told you to send certain pa
pers to Senator Blank; did you send
them?'' This with a touch of stern
ness Eyes, sir: 1 remember distinctly
sending them" was the reply. The
messenger was dismissed, whereupon
the secretary said with a laugh: ITO
be perfectly frank, senator. I forgot all
about your request for those documents
and they were never sent. only called
the messenger in to show you what
perfect system we have up here. Now,
the secretary continued with chuckle,
pressing another button, II am going to
see that you get the documents"

Iceland From a Lava wall.

The general impression that Ireland
is a cold country is a false one, says a
writer in The Travel Magazine. In

one day perched myself on one of the
lava walls, and looked at scene of
summer warmth and beauty. Famil-
lar cows and cats and hens were busy
In the sunshine; children, thinly clad
were playing about with shouts of
merriment. Potatoes were in full
blossom, and cabbage and various veg
etables added to the sense of homelike
comfort. But such days are GASES in
vast deserts of rain, for, if Iceland, in
summer, is not cold, it is not comfort

KANSAS CONNENT
THE "UNwRrTrEN LAW"

~-1&1-- ON w KITTEN LA W..
once IN q very long while there comes
up IN the hard courts of justice a case
IN which peculiar circumstances are 50
combined that the law and the evidences
become comparatively immaterial, and
the dumb testimony of looks and
thoughts touches the heart strings of
people generally until they vfbrate with
sympathy. Such q case is the "incu-
pator' baby case, just reversed in the
supreme court.
We have recently heard much about
the unwritten law" AS it has been
developed in the public prints, we have
no use Tor the "unwritten law" But
here is an unwritten law that all the
judges and all the juries of Christen-
dom could not repeal or suspend or
evade. When Justice lays her hand
upon women robbed of their natural
protectors, and on smiling, unknowing
oaees, the great public which is the
fundamental law steps in and bids JUS
tice step aside.
Not one person in five hundred within
the circle of this cases influence knows
or cares much about the law or the evil
dence. Not one in five hundred but has
formed an opinion that is not based
upon evidence or law, so far as the
written statutes constitute the law
They call this cold, heartless world.
In reality this is warm, vibrant world
that is all heart and sympathy. In the
humdrum of even existence we forget
about this, but now and then something
happens to bring US back to a realiza-
ton OF the fact that human sympathy
and tenderness are deeper and higher
and broader than any statute man ever
put upon the books.-Lawrence World.

DELMAs' SPEECH.

The speech of Attorney Delmas in
the Thaw case will live as one of the
great orations of our times. There is
every reason why it should be great
speech. The theme was one of the
human passions, the most debased AMI
the most noble emotions, the issue was
the life or death of the man he defend
ed. Given this subject and a great
orator, the speech of necessity was
great one. Whether it saves the life of
the man for whom he pleaded or not,
1t shows that the art of oratory is not
a lost o1e-Hutchinson News.

President of Chicago Ameri-
cans Will Build Fine
Steam Yacht.

President Charles A. Comiskey of the
worlds champion White sox, and Man
ager Joe Cantillion of the Washington
Senators. returned to the city yester-
day from the houseboat White Sox,
which they left at Memphis.
The return of the basebell men, how
ever, meant something, as they related
tales of "hairbreadth 'scapes by flood
and feld' that thrilled an attentive
Log Cabin audience. Moreover. it was
announced that the White Sox owner
had decided to enter the field of ma
rine explorers, and the exploits of Mar
co Polo, Drake, Nansen. and Peary bid
fair to be eclipsed.
Comiskey to Build Steam Yacht.
Comiskey is to secure another craft,
and this time 1t will be a steam yacht
and probably the fastest of its kind on
fresh water. 1t will be 100 feet in
length, Will accommodate about TWEEN
ty-dve or thirty persons, including
crew, and will have special provisions
for the baseball magnate's Rainier car
which he sorely misses even in the
swamps of Arkansas. A trip to the
northern Mississippi this summer, and
possibly Florida next winter. is the
preliminary program.
The order for the new craft viii be
given a Michigan firm within a few
days, and the latter part of the sum
mer at the latest will Sc the launchins
Of the new White Sox. The houseboat
will be disposed of to City Printer John
Higgins, who is still with her and en-
gagged in taking formal possession with
the assistance OF John P. Agnew, the
local contractor, Herman schaefer anc
others.

keep right on with the work of get

fact that there have been reports
emanating from the state university
to the effect that Indiana would not
have track team this year.
The meet will probably be held the
first or second Saturday in February.
The men are all showing up we'll in
the events in which they expect to en-
ter and the team is in better trim at
this time of the year than ever before.
new miller has been discovered in
Emmanuel, who is making things hot
for Mckinney, the old college repre-
sentative in this event. Belman fell
last night while running the quarter
and is laid up for repairs. Blair ran
the fastest four laps ever run in the
college gymnasium last night, when
he covered sos yards in 80 S-5 seconds.
Sohl Is doing well in the quarter and
will probably compete in this event
with Hessler, new man.
The relay team will probably consist
of Hargrave, Hessler, Belman and
Blair. 1t has been suggested that re-
lay teams representing Hammond.
South Bend, Indianapolis and Goshen
be organized as there is plenty OF
material from each of these cities in
school to make a good team.
