out reproach. His career in congress
has been one of the alarumS and ex-
cursians and there are those who
think that he fights for pure love Of
rough-house: that the thunder of the
captains and the shouting are music
to him. But his soul stands up for
peace. He is not a fire-eater; his
red hair is seen, like the white plum
of Navarro, in the thick Of every
melee, but he is really sensitive, shy
man, who has 10 draw OH his moral
courage before engaging in passage
of arms. 1t is because he has great
reserves of moral courage that he has
become strong fixture in national
affairs. He mixes his war medicine
reluctantly, even timidlY, but when he
takes the long trail there is no turn
ing back. Those who are so OPP
posed to him do we'll to give him the
right of way. In a calm, impersonal
way he will knock obstructlng people
down, and smile an apology for in
conveniencing them. After leading
forlorn hope like hero, he has
gone to bed like a woman, With a
nervous headache. He is clinging to
certain absurd revolutionary theories;
he believes in honesty and economy
in the government, as in a depart
ment store; he believes that con-
greSsmen should do their test for the
country, and should be permitted to
do their best, he believes i'll many
other things, and for any one Of them
he is always ready to take off his
coat and fight, though he may have
an appointment at the baseball
grounds. A generous, brave whole
some man, firm in the conviction that
he is right before going ahead, this
leader of a scared minority, his
friends believe, will soon be direct
ing the movements of an embattled
host"

Barton County al Lawrence

Among the counties of the state,
Barton county is well represented at
the University this year. Its stu.
dents are among the best, and are
doing creditable work. The courses
are varied and offer excellent oppor-
tunity for student to fit himself for
any pursuit in life that he chooses.
The Barton county young people
are enrolled in the several different
departments of the University. Those
enrolled from Great Bend are:-
Anna Bird, first year fine art; Grace
Gum, first year fine art; Charles
Hooper, junior college; Mona Mer-
ing, junior college; Roy McMullen,
middle law; Morris Roberts, senior
college; Claude Doty, junior in the
school Of Medicine; Eva McCauley,
freshman college; Harry Doty, Fresh
man college; Lucille Barrett, first
year fine art; Otta Vumb, from Paw
nee Rock, third year college. Char
les Hooper, of Great Bend, received
a scholarship in the bacteriology and
pathology department Of the Uni
versity. Mr.. Hooper has been in
the school Of Medicine for two years,
but this year he is taking work in the
college. Morris Roberts, Of Great
Bend, belongs to the local Fraternity
Up Epsilon and is staying at their
new house.
The enrolment this year is the
largest in the history Of the Univer-
Sity and will reach nearly 1890. OF
this number 1855 are taking work in
the College; the rest are enrolled in
o her del ar ments of the University.
This means that the young people Of
Kansas are seeking a higher educa-
ton than that obtained in the high
schools.
Many hundreds Of the students are
working their way through school
either by doing something here, or
getting employment during the sum-
mer, or both. They show the true
Kansas pluck and it is noticeable
that they are frequently very popular
students in the University, as we'll as
ranking high in their classes. The
president of the senior class is a man
who has worked his way through col.
lege and is respected for it.

Another CENSUS
EDICT FROM TAFT
CENSUS SUPERVISORS MUST
GIVE UP EITHER THEIR PoLlT-
ICAL OR GOVERNMENT JOBS.

Washington, Aug. 25.-President Taft
is leaving nothing undone to make 1t
clear that he does not intend that the
census work and politics shall be mix
ed. Acting Secretary McHarg, of the
department of commerce and labor, to-
day received a letter from Mr.. Car
penter. secretary to the president,
stating that the census supervisors
who hold political positions such as the
secretaryship or chairmanships of
county committees. must either give
up their political or government posi-
ton.
In q number OF states particularly in
the south, republican politicians have
been recommended for appointment as
supervisors or the census. Complaint
was made that as supervisors have au-
thority to appoint the enumerators it
would be possible for them to build
up powerful political positions.

Chicago, Aug. 25.-UnIess "Big
Bill' Mahon. international president
Of the Amalgamated Association of

bring about satisfactory settlement
OF the present street car troubles
here nothing Will prevent a complete
tie-up of all Chicago's transportation
lines. 1t was thought for time that
the affair had been patched up salts
factorily to both employers and en-
ployes but the terms of agreement
have been rejected by the street car
men and now only arbitration, should
this be acceptable. can prevent a
strike.
Mahon holds the key to the situa-
ton. From persons with whom he is
In touch it was learned he hopes TO
heal the reopened wound by the
avoidance of arbitration but such a
plan seems almost beyonI possibility.
AS head of the Employers association
he can WELD remarkable influence
either for or against a general strike.

had acted entirely independent Of gem

report but they take the position thai
as they are preparing report for the

sealed against any outside discussion
of the subject. This was the attitude
assumed by Commissioner bennett who

issue before the supreme court of the

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. z5.-Marian
Bleailey the incubator baby is not
the child Of Mrs. j. J. Bleakley OF To-
peka, according to Mrs. Stella B. Bar
clay Of Buffaio, N. II, the foster moth
er OF the little girl. Her real mother,
Mrs. Barclay says, is an actress. Mrs.
Barclay, charged with kidnapping Mar
Ian, said this morning:
III thought for one minute there
was drop Of Mrs. Beakley's blood In
the child wouldn't have her for an in
stant but / know to whom she belongs.
She was the child OF an actress. and
by the way little Marian is an exact
picture OF her real mother. A strong
similarity Of features to my mind
makes the identification complete. If
we could only by some legal proceed
ing. get the actress to court there
would be no doubt in the matter.

Plenty Of Money Here to Move
the Crops
BANKS VERY PROSPEROUS
ACTING SECRETARY OF THE
TREASURY, ON HIS RETURN
FROM CONFERENCE WITH TAFT
DECLARES WESTERN BANKS
ARE OVERLOOKING.

Washington, Aug. 25.-western
banks and those of the interior gener-
ally, are overflowing with money.
They can get along with little aid
from eastern banks.
This is the view OF Acting Secretary
of the Treasury Norton. who has just
returned from Beverly. Mass, where
he had conference with the presi-
dent. Any talk indicating that banks
are pressed for money with which to
move the crops seems to be discount-
ed by this view of the acting secre-
tary.
No Better Evidence.
Officials OF the ONCE OF the comp
troller of the currency. hold that no
better evidence OF the prosperous con-
dition of the country can be found
than the banks. They point out that
not for two months has there been
failure of a national bank. The
failure then was due to embezzlements
Of officials. 1t was a small institu-
tion in Michigan.
No fear OF nard times seems to as
sail the banks as was the case about
two years ago.
