SCOTT SEES A CHAOS.
Says Insurgency Pushed to Logical
Conclusion Means Disruption.

lola, Kan, Aug AFTER the re-
turns today indicated his defeat Con-
gresham Scott gave out the following
statement:
PERSONALLY I have few regrets. My
intimate friends know that I entered
congress reluctantly in the first in
stance and that from the beginning it
has been a serious question in my
mind at each recurring campaign
whether 1 should stand for reelection
or retire. 1 have enjoyed the work in
the house of Representatives ana l al
ways shall be grateful to the Repub-
licans of Kansas and of the Second dis
trict for ten years of very rich and
broadening experience. I am particu-
larly and beyond all telling grateful
to the hundreds of close friends all
over the district who have made my
cause their own and whose regret that
it is lost will be keener than my own.
LAS to the attitude 1 have taken
upon the questions at issue in this
campaign and which has resulted in
my retirement from public life I have
no regrets whatever Knowing the
powerful influences that could be
brought to bear in support of the in
surgent movement realized fully from
the beginning that in refusing to fall
in with it 1 would be jeopardiZing my
political career. But I never cared
enough for any political office to hold
it at the expense of my convictions and
my self respect.
at believe that the insurgent move
ment if pressed to its logical conclu-
sion will result in the complete dis
ruption of party organization and in
that way bring upon our country a
condition of political chaos utterly sub
versive of orderly government; and I
would immeasurably rather be defeat
ed fighting it than to remain indefi-
nitely in public life supporting it or
compromising with it
MY chief regret, therefore, is in the
temporary triumph of a movement
which in my judgment is wholly con-
trary to sound principles of govern
ment and which has in 1t the seeds
of bitter trouble for the people of this
country. But it is only a temporary
triumph brought about by a campaign
of the most monumental misrepresent-
alton, to avoid the short and ugly
word, ever known in Kansas. The Kan
sas City Star and the Topeka Capital
by the suppression of truth and the
constant reiteration of falsehood have
succeeded in keeping the real facts
away from thousands of people.
"But the truth cannot be concealed

out of the window and pulled the
burning mattress down the stairs
Fire companies were on the scene
at this time and they handled the
flames quickly. Mrs. Richardson and

Republican principles and wait for the

ease. He was about 81 years of age,

Has Gone to Sleep
After a Long Wake

Alonzo Wire, of HackestoWn, N. j.
famous for twenty years as the sleep
less policeman, has passed quietly into
the final sleep. Twenty years ago
Wire was struck by lightning. The
shock deprived him at first of his
speech and his hearing and when he
subsequently regained them left some
subtle arrangement of the nervous
system, which prevented him from
sleeping. Doctors who heard of his
case made elaborate tests, but they
never caught him mapping and at last
his assertion that he never slept gained
credence. He used to lie down to rest
his body but his eyes remained open
and his brain always active. Although
never fully at rest his health seemed
unimpaired until he was attacked by
bronchial asthma, from which he died.
A few nights ago he called his wife to
his bedside, Thank heavens, he
said, Il think I'm going to fall
asleep. 2" He never wakened.
