French Peasant Women Hard Worker.

French Peasant Women Hard Worksrs
The French peasant woman, Bre
,onne or otherwise, works hard as any
man It makes one sad to see the
women working In the fields, digging
and delving, carrying heavy burdens
driving the cattle, sometimes attend
ing to the machinery employed On the
farms. One wonders whether hus
bands and fathers appreciate It all,
especially when you hear some Of the
Ga lads, Tor ballads are supposed to
reveal the soul Of people l heazo

Is ~ follows:
Dear II my good wife Jeanne.
Her death l should deplore.
but dezrer are my beayes.
Their loss would grieve me more.

STITCH IS HERE.
Says Third District VIII Give Wag-
stan Big Majority.

A. c. Stitch, ex-mayor of Indepen-
southern Kansas, was called to Tope-
ka today on business in connection
with his Montgomery county brick
plants. Speaking of the Wagstaff
candidacy for governor which he is
accused by Gov. Stubs with being re-
sponsible for, Mr.. Stitch said:
THE big Third district will give Mr..
Wagstaff a splendid majority; of that
1 am certain. The people down in my
section of the country all welcome the
entrance of Mr.. Wagstaff in the race.
They now have q chance to express
within the party their preference for
q young and sane Republican; one
whose party principles are founded
upon a rock, but who has kept up
with the procession.
Tom is getting as many as one hum
dred letters a day from every section
of the state in which he is given
hearty promises of support. There is
going to be a big surprise in store for
somebody before the Wagstaff cam
paign has been finished. No, we have
not yet decided when and where the
campaign will be opened. This point
will be decided, however, inside of the
next ten days and announcement will
be made of the fact. 1t will be an ac-
tive campaign. once it is started. The
Goliath and David idea you brought
out in the State Journal will be car
ried through. At least I hope SO, for
the good of the party and the state"

STATEHOOD REPORT.
Beveridge Vigorously Supports Changes
From House Bill.

Washington. March pa report de-
Tending the senate bill for the admis-
sion of New Mexico and Arizona as
separate states was presented to the
senate To-Day by Senator Beveridge, OF
the committee on territories. The sena-
tor vigorously defended the changes
from the house bill. The chief differ
ences he outlined as follows:
The senate bill would refuse to rec
cgnize the Arizona election law, which
would disfranchise those citizens who
were unable to interpret the constitu-
ton in English.
Separate elections will be required by
the senate bill for the adoption of the
constitutions Of the proposed new states
and the selection Of state officers. The
senate bill would require also that the
constitutions must be approved by the
president and congress.
Provision is made by the senate
measure for the payment of only such
territorial bonds as have been vaiida-
ted by congress while the house bills
" ould provide for the payments of all
outstanding bonds.
Restrictions would be thrown about
the public lands and the saline lands of
New Mexico would be withdrawn to
the government by the senate meas
ure.
Schools would have to be conducted
entirely in English under the senate bill
while the house measure would per-
nit the teaching of Spanish"

HE BURNED HER ALIVE.
Police Regard the Case Against VOL
ter as About Complete.

New York, March 2S.-Spurred on
by the discovery that Ruth Wheeler,
the victim of the sensational murder
uncovered last Saturday was by every
evidence smothered and stuffed while
unconscious into the fireplace of AL
bert VOTERS apartments and there
burned to death, the authorities today
continued the task of trying to devel-
op the real motive for the crime
After the autopsy on the body, Cor
oner's Physician O'Hanlon declared
that traces of SCOT in the nostrils and
lungs convinced him the girl was still
living when her body was set on fire.
Hours of questioning of the closest
sort have failed to shake young VOL
ter in his declaration that he never
had seen the Wheeler girl and knew
nothing of the way in which she met
her fate. He steadfastly declines to
explain the entry of Ruth Wheeler's
name in his memorandum book or to
account, to the satisfaction of the
police, for his movements on the day
when it is learned Miss Wheeler visit
ed his rooms in answer to an adver-
tisement for a stenographer.
Under a merciless grilling today
Katie Mueller broke down and gave the
police some startling additions to her
testimony.
The police say she told of having re-
turned to VOTERS apartment on the
night Ruth Wheeler was first missed
and at o'clock was sound asleep.
AOOul the report OF ner
testimony continued, ST was awakened

Champ Clark Says 1t VIII Be a Long
Time Before 1t Happens.

Washington. March 2S.-Represent-

leader. predicted today that it would
be a long time before the house would
elect a non-partisan parliamentarian
speaker.
Mr. Clark was questioned as to his
view on the proposition emanating
from some of the "insurgent' Republi-
cans to elect Asher C. Kinds parlia-
mentarian of the house.
ST think the plan of electing a par
Humanitarian as speaker is very likely
to be adopted in the house some day.
was the reply. 1t is a logical idea,
but doubt if such a radical step will
be taken in the near future.
"Great changes in government come
slowly. For 40 years we have been
adding to the power of the speaker of
the house and not until a week ago
last Saturday was a successful move
made to take away power. AS we
have been century or more adding to
the power Of the presiding officer, I do
not look for 1t all to be swept away in
one day or in a few days. It will take
time"
