WHY NOT THOU, JOHN?
Reproduction of Miles Standish in the
Fourth District.

The persistent energy of William
Allen White to get some one to run
against ]. NJ. Miller in the Fourth dis
trict brings to mind the old story Of
how John Alden pleaded with Priscilla
to look with favor upon the suit of
Miles StandiSh. 1t will be remembered
how Longfellow's maid turned coldly
from the proposition that the gallant
captain had made her through loves
ambassador and then, looking upon
John Alden with humid eyes she sug-
gested that he plead for himself. John
did so and drew bride in loves lot
terry.
Now John was pretty good pleader.
His handsome face and soft voice ana
poetic eyes were more than a match for
the words of praise for an absent cap
| tain, even though the latter was man
of great valor. John could not help IL
because the captains suit went wrong.
Flesh and blood could not withstand
the binding flash of love and beauty.
| So Alden shut his eyes to the fact that
! he was representing the doughty Cap
/ tain Standish and took the radiant
| maiden unto himself.
I Now in these prosaic times, in the
Fourth congressional district Of Kan
sas is being enacted again the poetic
phantasy of Miles StandiSh'S unSucceSS-
| full venture in the lists of love Here is
/ John Alden in the person of Willie >,
Allen White. pleading with the Fourth
4
and the Fourth district. like the coy
maiden of the long ago, is making eyes
! at the pleader. He is so much hand
somer than any of these Topeka fell
| lows. His voice is so soft, his words
so beautiful, his logic so irresistible.
WHY don't he plead for himself? Who
| could resist him? Not this Fourth dis
trict maiden sitting by his side and
caring naught for an absent war cap
| tain.
| This EInporia printer man who made
| n United States senator and writes the
| Kansas language to the great delight

/ parcel of the Fourth district. He works
there. lives there, loves there. fights

! him and they are proud of this product
| of the social system, Why all this talk
about Miles Standfsffsfor congress from

MONTH OF FLYING.
Aero Club of America Planning for
Extensive Meeting.

New York, Nov. 22.-Instead of hav-
ing one week of aerial flights for the
international aviation meet which is
TO be held in this country next year,
the Aero Club of America is now plan
ming a carnival to continue at least a
month in various cities. So many cities
have offered large sums for the big
event that it has been found advisable
to effect different arrangement. par
tlcularly as it has been feared that the
prizes for the international events
would not induce all of the leading
European aviators to come to this
country.
1t is now proposed to have meetings
at Baltimore. st. Louis, Cincinnati ard
possibly at Chicago, Denver and Los
Angeles, one following the other and
all terminating with the international
contests. In this way the club believes
that all of the cities will be satisfied
and that it will place this country in
the lead in aviation affairs.

LAWLEsS DRIVERS
To Be Followed Up by New Haven Au-
tomobiIe Club.

The automobile club Of New Haven
has inaugurated a crusade which will
interest all those whose business. or
pleasure compels them to trust them
selves on the streets or highways Of
the state. as Wen as the owners and
drivers of automobiles. The New Ha-
ven club believes that the opposition
which as grown up against the present
state law regulating the speed of mo-
tor vehicles is based on an ignorance
Of what the law really provides. In
the case Of the authorities this ignor-
ance has led to the non enforcement
Of the law and this in itself has con-
dUced to its unpOpularity.
The club recently arranged to have
the law explained and interpreted to
the New Haven policemen with the re-
suit that an intelligent enforcement of
its provisions in a very short time
checked a real epidemic of reckless
driving in that city.
