tion and prudence, like men who knoy
what they are about, and not like thos
in love with theory. 1t is obviou
that the changes we make should b.
made only at such rate and in such
way as will least interfere with -thI
normal and healthful course of commerce
and manufacture But we shall not oil
| that account act with tmidity, as i
We did not know our own minds, fol
we are certain of our ground and of on
object. There should be an immediate
| revision, and it should be downward un
hesitatingly, and steadily downward.
The nation as nation has growr
Immensely rich. She is justly proud o.
her industries an dof the genius of hel
men Of affairs. They can master any
thing they set their minds to, and We
have been greatly stimulated under
their leadership and command. Theil
laurels are many and very green. W.
must accord them the great honors that
arc their due and we must preserve what
they have built up for u.s. But what Of
the other side OF the picture? 1t is
not as easy for us to lived as it used
TO be, Our money will not buy as much
them, yield us no great comfort. We
used to be better off with less, because
a dollar could buy so much more. The
majority of us have been disturbed to
find ourselves growing poorer, even
though our earnings were slowly in
creasing. Prices climb faster than we
can push our earnings up. We know
that they are not fixed by the compe-
titions of the market, or by the ancient
law OF supply and demand which is to
be found stated in all the primers of
economies, but by private arrangements
with regard to what the supply should
be and agreements among the producers
themselves. Those who buy are not even
represented by counsel. The high cost
OF living is arranged by private under
standing.
"We naturally ask ourselves, how did
these gentlemen get control Of these
things? Who handed our economic laws
over to them for legislative and con
tractural alterations We have in these
disclosures still another view of the tar
iff, still another proof that, not the
people of the United States, but only a
very small number of them, have been
partners in that legislation.
The Labor Question.
"The so-called labor question is a
question only because we have not yet
found the rule OF right in adjusting the
interests of labor and capital. Here,
again. the sense of universal partner
ship must come into play if we are to
act like statesmen, as those who serve,
not class but a nation.
"The working people OF America If
they must be distinguished from the
that constitutes the rest of it
are, of course, the backbone Of the ma
tion. No law that safeguards their life,
that improves the physical and moral
under which they live. that
makes their hours OF labor rational and
tolerable, that gives them freedom to-
act in their own interest, and that pro
tects them where they cannot protect
themselves, can properly be regarded as
class legislation or as anything but as
a measure taken in the interest of the
whole people. whose partnership in right
action we are trying to establish and
make real and practical. 1t is in this
spirit that we shall act If we are genu-
me spokesmen of the whole country

Big SHOW MONDAY.
New Pictures and Popular Music to
BE Given at Auditorium.

The flowing cup" moving picture
show which will be given Monday
night in the Auditorium by ]. c. Ell
lott of the Aurora theater will draw a
record breaking crowd. At least the
manner in which the tickets are selling
would indicate that this will be the
case.
Mr.. Elliott stated today that he
would probably show five reels. He
made a special trip to Kansas City to
arrange to get the best there is in
moving pictures. In the series which
ended last Wednesday night no scenic
pictures were shown, so for this rea-
son an effort has been made to get
several thousand feet of pictures of
this description which will be par
ticularly instructive to school children.
The people of Topeka will have the
opportunity of hearing band and pipe
organ played at the same time. Mar
shallS band will be on hand, and the
management is arranging with w. F.

WANT ROAD OPENED
Suit Filed in Which Injunction Against
County Is Asked.

Application for an injun ction was
made today by the city in a suit filed
against the board of county commits
sione1s to. prevent the closing of the
river road" along the south banks of
the Kaw liver. The road was closed
when the South side dixie was built
and recently the board denied the APP
prevail of petitions for the opening of
the highway.
Since the dixie was built there has
been a lively contention among mem
bers of the city and county commission
concerning the closing of the river
road. Residents of Oakland and par
ties along the road objected strenuous
ly to the actions of the county board
and appealed their case to the city
commissioners when the county board
denied their requests. This appeal re-
suited today in the filing of a suit
seeking to enjoin the board from
closing the road.

seat at the Grand saw the Washburn
Dramatic club present THE Little Min

approached that of a good professional
troupe. Miss Grace Gaines as Babbie
representing a rich girl posing as a
gypsy, was as light and graceful as the
curling smoke of gypsy camp fire.

speak. She had to act a rich girl act
ing the part of a gypsy but had a good
conception of the complicated role. Mr.
Warren j. Crum bine. as Gaven Disharr

could be hero of the stage as well as
of the football field. Miss Fannie
Stoves, as Mamie Webster. in make up
voice and acting. showed wonderful
ability as a character woman. Her
technical knowledge is unusual in anna
tours. While Miss Lillian Stone. as
Felin the French maid had only
small part. she played with so much
naturalness. vivacity and delightful
French accent that she won applause
and her hit" WIS one of fI1e r,osr
pleasing features of the play. Mr.. carl
Hathaway, as Lord Rentone. was above
the ordinary amateur. Likewise Mr.
