THE SCHEME OF LIFE.

To laugh when a laugh would be cheer

To commort when comfort is sought;
TO refrain from the habit of sneering,
In a word to do just what we ought;
TO treat others the way we'd be treated.
An. this is the task that is ours

We've wasted the best OF our powers.
Not TO laugh when brother Is crying,
Nor frown when "A neighbor may smile;

To be brave In the heat of the strife
And never to grow apathetic--
In word, live "A well-balanced life.

FAR FROM CLOSED
Friend of Crane Says the Min
ister's Dismissal
Is Still an Open Question and
Will BE Aired.

New York, Oct 15.-Charles R. Crane.
who was appointed minister to China
and who was recalled just as he was
about to sail for his post, declined to-
day to reveal what his friends declare
are the real reasons for his retirement.
One of these frie9ds. however. Vat
ter L. Fisher, Of Chicago. intimated
that the incident was far from closed,
and that revelations which would he
made in due time would show Mt.
Crane to have been the victim of po-
itical intrigue.
while Mr.. Cranes official relations
are definitely ended" said Mr.. Fisher.
there are many things connected with
this matter of such a character and i'm
portance that the American people
must be deeply interested in them. Mr..
Crane has preferred not to 6 into them
now, because of the possibility that a
public discussion at this time might be
harmful to the public interest.
80 far as the personal indignity and
official embarrassment that has occur
red has been due to publicity. the re-
spons:bility is on the department of
state and not on Mr.. Crane He did
not even trust his telegram to the
president to the ordinary agencies, but
took it to tire presidents secretary to
be sent in cipher"

Summer improvements Guar.
antee Better Winter Service.

If the expenditure of $1,50O.0O0 can
improve the distributing service of the
Kansas Natural Gas company in To-
peka, then Topekans can hope for a
better supply of natural gas than has
ever been given here before. If this
expenditure does not better the SER
vice, Topeka will at least have as good
a service as last winter, which out
side of the time during one prolonged
cold snap, was really pretty good.
This is the gas outlook for the win
ter, in a nut shell.
Power company. the local company,
gets its gas product from the Kansas
Natural Gas company, which controls
the entire output from the gas fields
in southeastern Kansas. The short
comings of past years have all been
laid at the door of the Kansas Natural
company. Every winter Topeka has
experienced more or less trouble with
the gas supply, always in weather In
which it was most needed.
The improvements this season con-
sist of new pipe lines, and improve
ments at the pumping stations. The
gas which is used in Topeka, and in
fact which supplies all the large towns
on the pipe lines, comes from the
Montgomery fields. The pumping sta
tions are at Scipio and Petrolia. north
of Chanute and near Garnett. New
pipe lines, paralleling the old ones, are
being laid between the fields and the
pumping stations.

radical Republican and Socialist news
papers were unable to get out their
editions.
Nearly 10000 workmen held an inn

Infiammatory speeches denouncing the
execution of Ferrer were made, the
speakers including the Republican dep
uty, Barzilai, and Socialist deputy, Nor
gari. The latter assailed Spanish reac-
tionism and also attacked the vatican,
which. he said, throughout it's clergy
throughout the world repr :sents anti

He WAS FOR JOHNSON
Cleveland Letter Showing That He
Did Not Favor Taft.

Utica, n Y. Oct. 15.-E. Prentiss
Bailey, editor of the Utica Observer
and a close friend of the late Grover
Cleveland, prints in his newspaper the
text of a letter he received from Mr..
Cleveland a few days before the ex-
president went to Princeton, N. J.,
where he died. Mr.. Bailey believes that
it is the last letter of any length or i'm
portance that Cleveland wrote.
The letter shows Cleveland favored
Johnson for president.
The ex-president's letter to Mr. Bailey
is dated at Princeton. N. J., March IA,
190S and its contents are particularly
interesting in the light of the contro-
versy precipitated a year ago by the
so-called Cleveland letter produced by
Broughton Brandenburg which was
subsequently alleged to have been
forgery and for selling which Branden-
burg was prosecuted in New York.
The letter which Brandenburg gave to
the public made it appear early in the
last presidential campaign that MI
Cleveland, becoming hopeless of his
party, turned a eulogist of Taft, the
expected rominee of the Republicans.
Brandenburg testified at his trial early
this year that the letter was signed by
the president and given to him about

satisfaction the possible nomination OF
the late Governor John A. Johnson of
Minnesota for president by the Demo-

CLOSES THREE HOTELS

forcing the New Regulations.

Marysville, Kan, Oct 15.-State
Food Inspector. John Kleinhans of
Topeka, is in Marysville today and re-
porting to his department, the state
board of health, informs them that
the Home hotel, Home City; the Sun
flower hotel, Valley Falls; and the
ScottsviIle hotel, Scottsville, have been
closed on account of not complying
with the hotel laws of the state
The Inspector frankly admits that
hereafter where dirty and filthy bed
clothing is being used. and where beds
are alive with bed bugs and body lice,
and where dirty unsanitary carpets
have not been removed and cleaned !;
and where plastering is off the bed
rooms; and the papering or walls
are filthy and dirty; and where kitch-
ems and ice boxes are not kept clean;
and where the out-closets are in un-
sanitary condition, he Will not hesi-
tate to enforce the law, and close all
such hotels.
The inspector says the greater part
of the hotels are equipped with ropes
and fire escapes as the law provides,
but the great trouble that the in
spectors are now having is to get
the hotels to comply with the sanitary
requirement of the law, which re-
ouireS clean Offices rooms halls,
kitchens and out-closets.
Under the law, it is as important
for the landlord to keep clean out
closets as we'll as clean Offices" said
The inspector has a grip full of
complaints. which are scattered over
the northern part of the state which
he is looking after diligently.

LONG TALKED OF.
Possible He May Succeed Crane as
Minister to China.

Washington, Oct. 15.-In the discus
sion of possible appointees to fill the
Chinese ministry. the name of ex-Sen-
ator c. I. Long, of Kansas, is men
toned. Before Mr.. Crane, of Chicago,
was selected it is known that Mr.. Long
was considered with others, but it was
understood at the time that he. did not
wish to be considered for the diplo-
matte service. 1t is known that Pres
ident Taft has a high regard for the
Kansan, and it is possible that the
White House may open communication
with him looking to reconsideration
on his part as to a diplomatic post.
After the Crane incident the rec
ommendation of Secretary of State
Knox will decide in all likelihood.
Knox and Long served in the senate
together and are friends.
Ex-senator Long was in the city
last week and gave a strong interview
unfolding Taft's administration and
announcing that it had made good His
visit was not in connection with the
Chinese appointment, as the Crane
incident had not then developed.
