DINNER FOR ALL.
Provident Association, Schools and
Churches Make Poor Happy.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
This is one day of the year when
those whose pathway is strewn with
many thorns and whose greatest prob
lem is to keep the table supplied with
the necessaries of life can forget their
many heartache and other aches and
''eat, drink and be merry" with the
other and larger class of humanity.
The Topeka Provident association
makes no grand stand play on such a
day by big public dinner, but in a
quiet systematic way sees to it that
every deserving family in the city is
supplied with large basket full of
good eatables.
The First Christian and Central
Congregational churches and the Philo
Reading club have greatly assisted by
taking several families to care for.
Various Sunday school and Bible
classes have done the same. Several
contributions in cash have been re-
ceived from individuals to be used in
bringing joy to some sad hearthstone.
Special mention should be made of
the Wanamaker school, located five
miles west of the city, the Seabrook
school and the school near the Boys
Industrial school, each of which sent
in a large wagon loaded with pump
kins, potatoes, apples, canned fruit,
fresh meat, live chickens, and clothing
to be given to the poor. The teachers
of these schools have caught the spirit
of the age, that of consideration and
thought for our brother in distress.
the spirit of the good Samaritan. They
are teaching their pupils to become
strong useful citizens. true Americans.
May other teachers catch the spirit by
next year.

LIFE OF A PIMPLE
Compilations Are Cleared and PimpIes
Disappear Overnight Without

The dispensers of poslam, a new
skin discovery, ask that notice be
given that no one is urged to pur-
chase 1t without first obtaining an ex-
perimentaI package. Those who have
tried 1t will find that the fifty-cent
box. on sale at Fred A. Shows and all
drug stores, is sufficient to cure the
worst cases of eczema, where the
surface affected is not too large. The
1tcfng ceases on first application 1t
will also cure acne, letter, blotches,
scaly scalp, hives, BARRIERS and every
other form of itch. including itching
feet. Being flesh-colored and con-
tanning no grease, the presence Of
poslam on exposed surfaces. such as
the face and hands. is not perceptible.
Water and soap cannot be used in
connection with 1t. as these irritate
and prolong skin troubles, sometimes
evening causing them.
AS to the experimental package of
poslam. it can be had free of charge
by mail of the Emergency Labora-
tories, 80 West Twenty-f1fth Street
New York. 1t alone is sufficient to
clear the complexion overnight, and
to rid the face of pimples in twenty
four hours.

Preparing Papers in the Cald-
Well-MOOre Contest.
SEAT IN THE SEN
SEAT IN THE SENATE
Issue to Be Checked Up to Con-
test Court.
N. A. Yeager Will Try to Prove
He Was Elected Judge.

Judge F. w. Sturges of Concordia is
in Topeka preparing the papers to be
! filed in the contest case of w. w.
Caldwell against William NJ. Moore for
the job of state senator from the
Thirty-second district. composed of
Cloud and Republic counties On the
face of the returns. Moore was elected
by 20 votes, and was given the certif1-
cate.
The method of procedure will be for
Mr.. Caldwell to file a formal notice on
Mr.. Moore stating that he expects to
contest the election. He will file a
similar notice with the secretary of
state. When the legislature convenes,
the secretary of state will communicate
to the senate the fact that Mr.. Moore's
seat is contested, and the senate will
appoint a committee to take up the
case The contest will involve a re-
count Of all the votes cast in the dis
trict -.
Judge Sturges said today: when
there about 5000 votes cast, a majority
of 20 is very SMALL and there are quite
likely to have been enough mistakes in
counting ballots to turn the election
the other way. We simply say that
Mr. Caldwell has a good chance to win
On a recount. We think that there may
have been a good many railroad votes
miscounted. and a good many Caldwell
votes thrown out which should have
been counted We do not charge any
fraud, but simply hold that the posi-
bility of error is so great that con-
test is justifiable. 1 do not think that
Mr. Caldwell is especially anxious to
make a contest, but the people of Cloud
county will back him in the fight. We
think that we ought to have the sena-
Tor from that district if he Was legally
elected.
No contest has yet been started by
Mr. Caldwell, but L am free to state
that 1 think there may be one in due
time 1 am here simply posting myself
on the forms of procedure in such
cases."

NEWS AT WASHINGTON.
Captain Frederick I. Dean, Formerly
of Kansas, Passes Away.

washington. Nov. 26.-Captain
| Frederick 1. Dean, former resident OF
! Kansas and Missouri, died here Tues
day His remains were inferred at
Arlington National cemetery today
with military honors and the cere-
mony of the Grand Army of the Re-
public.
In 1857, Captain Dean engaged in
newspaper work as city editor of the
| Daily Express of St. Louis. While in
st. Louis he connected himself with
| the Missouri militia, becoming mem
Der of Company A, Second regiment,
| Missouri state infantry. In 1860 he
went with his company into brlgaoe
| of state troops under Brigadier Gen
era1 Bowen, the command proceeding
to the Kansas border, ostensibly TO
suppress General Lane and DR.. Jami-
son in their attacks on the borders OF
Missouri and Kansas. Later he served
in the civil war, and finally located in
eastern Kansas, where he lived until
1898, when he came TO Washington
and since remained. Here he was
prominently identified with the Grand
Army organization.

Most anything" was the brief and
comprehensive reply of the son of the
Sunflower state. His reply not being
sufficiently calculating, in his opinion,
he added that Representative Mitchell
would try to secure an enactment or
law prohibiting the drinking of liquor
on railroad trains.
Conductors on trains are very
much in favor of a law against drink
ing liquor on trains,'' said Mr. Harris.
They say that drinking on the trains
is often the cause of loud and bolster
Gus language sometimes amounting to
the disturbance of the peace of the
passengers, but the conductors are
powerless to prevent 1t.

have a law providing for the taxation
of inheritances. Taxes upon inherit
ances are becoming very general
throughout the state, and are provid-
ing for by nearly all of them"
H. NJ. Johnson, former Kansas
educator, has been appointed super
vising principal of the eighth division
of the public schools of the District of
Columbia. This division comprises
eight of the schools in Washington.
For seven years Mr.. Johnson was
connected with the Holton schools, a
part of the time being in charge of
the high school and four years was
superintendent. He was second presi-
dent of the Northeast Kansas Teach
ers' association. He engaged in insti-
tute work for a number of years in

1t is reported here that N. A Yea
ger of Augusta, Butler county, who
was beaten for judge of the Thirteenth
judicial district by G. P. Altman, the
Republican candidate, will contest the
election. The official count shows that
Yeager was defeated by only Is votes
This brings to light a peculiar fact
concerning Mr.. Yeager's political ex-
perience.
Mr. Yeager was a candidate for the
office of county attorney of Butler coun-
ty some years ago, and was defeated
by Is votes. He was not discouraged.
He became the Democratic candidate
for representative from Butler county,
and was defeated by 10 votes. Thinking
that the third time might be the charm
he tried to get the job of district judge,
and lost it by only IS votes.
c. H Brilliant, of Elk county, who
was assistant chief clerk of the house
at the 1907 session, and chief clerk
at the special session of 1908, is in
Topeka starting his boom for chief
clerk of the house at the coming ses-
sion Thus far Mr.. Brilliant has no
opposition, and the old members of
the house will probably line up
pretty strongly for him. as he was
well liked by everyone. He made
an excellent record as chief clerk
and thoroughly understands the duties
of the office.

The Pope and the Modernists

The weakness of modernism is in the fact
that, as the Encycical intimates, it has no great
unifyng, organizing principle it has not yet crys-
ta!ized into any definite, positive movement; and
IT 1t is to be only sort of Cave of Adullum for
doubters and deniers then it can not rise to much
permanent Importance. The Spectator may speak
too strongly when it calls modernists ''skeptics
with pious inclination, but surely they must de-
velop some more positive platform or they will
soon lose the esprit du corps which is a condition
of lasting power
But we can not down the conviction that the
Vatican is playing a losing game. Assuredly
Rome has had her trials in these latter times The
Qurlnal stands over against the Vatican, and the
Pope's weak protest at being bereft of his tenn
poral power goes unheeded, if not unheard France
has long been land Of allegiance to Rome but
to-day, with dismantled establishment with a
divided clergy and with distracted Iaity France
has been too much for the narrow craftsmanship
and lame diplomacy Of Pope Plus X. Socialism of
the ranker sort shading off into Sansculottsm and
Anarcnsm, stalks forth with menacing mien
that may well be dsquieting to both Church and
state and the repressive reactionary policy of the
n0n-concesslonlsts who seem to have monopolv
OF the Pope's ear at the present time is of all
