however, to abide by the decision.
The juniors, sophomores and fresh

FOR GOVERNOR ON

JUDGE WALLACE ANNOUNCES HIS
CANDIDACY IN JOE FOLKS
STATE.
Declares That He VIII RIsldIy
Enforce the Sunday cIos-
ing Law.

KANSAS CITY. Feb. 14.-Judg'
william H. Wallace, of the Crimina
! Court of this city. who recently hal
been making a vigorous campaign for
Sunday observance. today announced
his candidacy for the Democratic nom
nation for Governor Of Missouri. His
platform declares for the Statewide
and permanent enforcement Of the
Sunday and liquor laws"
Judge Wallace's crusade resulted In
the incident of hundreds Of actors,
actresses and theatrical managers and
attaches for the violation of the law,
making 1t a misdemeanor. to perform
unnecessary labor on Sunday, and he
has placed them under bonds amount
ing in the aggregate close to 100000.
Tuesday he ordered four prominent
theatrical managers to jail because
they failed to furnish proper bond, and
they were only kept from going behind
the bars by securing a writ Of habeas
corpus. He has closed hundreds OF
pool-rooms, cigar stores, barber shops
and other small businesses on the Sab
bath, and the county grand jury. as
result Of his activity, continues week
ly to indict theatrical persons who
violate the law. His platform con-
tains these characteristic DECLARE
tons:
The restoration and preservation OF
the Sabbath is one Of the greatest
moral problems in the life Of the Re
public. The laborer longs for one day
in seven as a day of rest as he longs
for immortality in the great beyond.
And this rest is an inalienable right
which human greed should never be
permitted to wrest from him. It
should be protected by the strong arm
of the civil power.
The Sunday theater is as demoralix-
ing as the Sunday saloon and should !
be suppressed. II / am elected by the |
plenary powers of the governorship, |
our Sunday laws shall be enforced
the State, not with narrow
ness and intolerance, but with due re-
gard to the necessities of the advanced /
of our times. +
Intemperance is the greatest single
enemy of the human race. That every
murderer tried so far since / have
occupied the criminal bench has been
Traced to intoxicants, and that more
han as per cent. OF other crimes have
been due to the same causes, has put
ne inexorably against the open sa-
DON.

PRETTY COLORS.

The colors are lovely this spring,
and one can admire them even by sug-
gestion, for their names bring up much
that is pleasant in thought. The
spring blues are delightful, and there
is an abundance of ciel blue and of
bluette. There is the old-fashlOned
navy blue, frightened with baby blue
and the revival of Alice blue brings the
gray blues back into vogue. In the
midst of these there is the charming
Atlantic blue, which is vivid, bright
and beautiful, and always becoming,
for it is neither too light nor too dark
SO that the woman who wants to wear
blue need not hesitate for a shade.
