WHAT WHITE HAS
TO shy ABOUT It
HAS READ LONGS CAM
PAIGN PAMPHLET.
Only Retracted Three Out of
Thirty. Five Char8es-Thir-
ty-TwO Still Stand
Unrefuted.

Emporia, July 6.-W. A. White
left for Denver. where he will report
the convention for syndicate of
papers. Before leaving, he said:
.sSenator Longs campaign pamph-
let which he called what Happened
at Emporia, was distributed in En-
poria today, and l saw it for the
first time. 1 am astounded that
Senator Long should send out SO
unfair and untruthful a statement as
is contained in this pamphlet, which
his machine is distributing all over
the state. The simple and exact
truth of what happened at Emporia,
is this: 1 had made IS charges
against Senator Long. On three of
these charges he proved an abb
not on his vote but on what happen
ed before and after the vote. At
the Emporia meeting I acknowledge
ed fully and freely that l had been
unjust to Long in parts of those
three charges alone-three out of
IS.
"Before the meeting, Senator
Longs friend and manager, w. Y.
Morgan, told me that Long had
written to Morgan, especially in
y1ting me to his Emporia meeting
Long, Morgan and l have been
friends for twenty years, and Nor
gan said Long thought he could
convince me that he was right. l.
E. Lambert, who had charge of the
meeting. on behalf of Long, asked
me, for Long, to preside at the
meeting, and l agreed to do so.
Later, Lambert thought this would
not be best and sent word through
one of our reporters that l was
expected to occupy seat on the
platform.
sIt is part of the Emporia spirit
to be curteous and hospitable, and
in the spirit of neighborly friend
illness, l told Lambert l would be
there. And 1 went. More than
that, 1 urged all my friends to go
and printed advertising brought in
by Mr.. Lambert, free of charge.
When l got to the meeting Long
considered me target instead of a
guest. But even then it seemed to
me but fair, both to myself and
Senator Long, to publicly correct
the three errors and give him the
benefit of every doubt. The state
ment that he forced anything from
me is absurd and ridiculous. The
truth would have forced me to take
back just as readily, the whole
5 thirty five charges, if they had been
untrue. And it seemed to me at
that time, and it seems to me now,
that in admitting publicly those
three errors. without Longs asking
it, 1 was only doing as would
have him do to me. But part of
the contents of that pamphlet is
false and all of it misleading. The
Interviews with Emporians were not
obtain d honestly. have tried to
be fair with Senator Long. Much
material of personal nature has
come to me to use, and l have re-
fused it.
'.It has seemed to be possible to
conduct this campaign in a spirit OF
fairness, and without personalities.
1 went to the Long meeting and in
that spirit l freely acknowledged
the three minor errors, and the three
only, that had been made. and until
this campaign is closed, there will
be no change in that policy, SO far
as am concerned, regardless OF
Senator Longs unfairness. Life is
too short for Latred and bitterness
and, after all. nothing pays SO, well
as truth.

Interior pictures in the winter where
there are heavy hangings and no sl0ylight

About five society women have equipped
themselves for taking photographs in
color. and now are experimenting with
the quantity OF light and the length OF
exposure necessary TO fasten the cOlors
well on the plates.
A complaint which IS universal among
them is that these colored plates can IN
no wise be retouched. The pictures must
remain as they appear at first. The value
o. retOuching, however, Is appreciated by
many women who nave done remarkable

FROM WOMARS
POINT OF VIEW.

4 man who inherited a home and its
furnishings found among his new pos
sessions a household account book and
amused himself for a while by comparing
prices Of necessities in his fathers time
with those Of the present day. he finds
that he requires an income three times
the size OF his fathers to live in the un-
pretentious fashion in which he was
brought UP.
We have known for q long time that
living was amazingly high. but evidence
Of this sort is rather staggering. We have
tastes which our ancestors never knew
and conditions unknown to their day
have been forced upon Us by the ad-
vancement Of civilization. Wages have
advanced. but not sufficiently 70 cover
increased expenses. and business needs
have made II necessary 10 curtau the
wearing qualities Of manufactured goods.
There is nothing for US but a rigid
elimination of tastes. Necessities We
must have. luxuries can be dispensed
with despite the protest Of a man OF leis-
ure who was being bounded by a creditor
who tried 10 convince him that his in
come would supply comforts and leave
/ surplus with which 10 pay of old
| scores. Hang It all. man, don't want
/ comforts. I can get along without them
but Iuxuries I must have" he really
meant It, too, for attired In correct hunt
/ ing togs he could rough It in q tent and
be more complacent than a real back
/
robe he could have found no pleasure in
the sport.
a woman whose husband has spent a
/ good bit Of money on a little summer
/ home where he can forget the grind OF
( the day IN the freedom Of evenings ard
/ holidays is very vehement in her coz
demnation Of the place. She owns q fine
motor car and pines 10 explore new places
she is so selfish that she forgets the
need of relaxation which every hard
working individual feels and so restless
that the quiet OF country life has no
| charm for her. She needs the change quite
as much as her husband, but she refuses
TO believe it.
Luxury has become part OF her na-
ture. There is no occasion for fine sum-
mer clothes az her seaside home, and
there is no bathroom with hot water on
tap. But at the end OF a minutes walk
is shining expanse OF salt water and
on il launch just large enough for the
family. The man OF the family really
lives in the delicious hours he spends in
the boat and she resents II. There is
grave danger IN becoming so welded 10
| luxury that you cannot drop It at Will
1 or at the call OF necessity, and that is
what we must guard against II we are 10

there Is a lack Of many things which
Americans regard as common comforts.

tons with complacency. New arrivals
