STUBS SEES CRISIS.
Governor Calls on New England to
Join Roosevelt Procession.

Boston, March "A letter from Theo-
dore Roosevelt and speeches by former
Governor Fort, of New Jersey, Cover
nor Stubs, of Kansas, and Senator
Clapp, of Minnesota, signalized the
opening of the Roosevelt progressives'
New England campaign in fremont
Temple
The chairman also read telegram Of
CONGRATULATIONS from the headquarters
of the national Roosevelt committee in
Chicago, declaring the nation appears
to be five to one for Roosevelt" and
predicting that Illinois will give Roose-
Welt so of its So delegates Colonel
Roosevelt's letter said:
'"This is more than mere party con-
test: this is a contest to establish the
right of the people to rule themselves,
and through their own efforts to work
for the cause of social and industrial
Justice. and of good will among men.
We are the true conservatives, for in
the long run it will be found that the
only true conservative is he man who
resolutely sets his face toward the
future and strives to give wise guild
ance to those who are struggling to-
ward the ideal of fairer dealing be-
tween man and man. We believe that
only through the triumph of the pr1n-
ciples for which we stand can business
prosperity be assured to this country
on a permanent basis, and we are GER
tain if these principles can be embodied
in action, such prosperity will come"
Governor Stubs said in part:
It is especially gratifying to citizen
of Kansas to be given an opportunity
to speak to the citizens of New Eng
land under the shadow of the monu-
ment of Bunker Hill. But little more
than half a century has elapsed since
the people of New England rendered
valuable assistance in making Kansas
a free state-a state without the whips
and chains and groans and auction
blocks of human slavery. Patriotic
citizens of New England found city
in our state, which they dedicated to
the cause of liberty. Tina city is my
home; it is the city of Lawrence. 1t
was sacked and burned and plundered.
and its people butchered, because they
preached the doctrine of human rights
and fought for the principles of human
freedom.
In my opinion, the nation is passing
through another serious crisis and
Kansas hopes that you will again prove
true to your traditions as friends of lib
erty, and as champions of human rights
b. joining with your western sister
states in the struggle for equal oppor-
tunities and equal rights for every citi-
zen of this republic, in so far as the
law and the government are concerned.

Army Avfators.

washington, March 4.-state militia
officers may become aviators of the
regular army in the future. provided
they comply with the rigid tests pre-

departure has been decided upon on
account of the demand for military
aviators, who have been drawn exclu-
sively from the commissioned officers
of the army.
The physical test for aviators coming
from the militia service will be even
more rigid than that prescribed for reg
ular recruits, special attention being
given to the eyes and ears of the appli-
cant. When he has passed this test the
applicant will have to demonstrate his
ability to take an aeroplane to an alti-
tude of $500 feet, to make a cross

WE'RE IN A RUT.
DR.. Arthur Henderson Believes in
Practical Religion.

We've got into a rut in our church
life and in the services of the church, -
declared DR.. Arthur S. Henderson
Sunday morning in speaking at the
First Congregational church on "Ade-
Quate Religion
ST sometimes think in modern edu-
cation there are too many electives.
Religion is too often taken as an 'ex-
ira Adequate religion must per-
meate Thursday mornings work,
Thursday afternoons social function,
and the prayer meeting Thursday
evening. A man who does not work
religiously does not pray religiously.
1.-The trouble with present day re-
ligion is that it is superficial. Do you
think it makes any difference to God
whether a man is a Congregationalist
or Methodist? We build great
churches and then shut them up in
darkness except for about five out of
1913 hours. We hire costly preachers
to preach sermons we hardly put into
practice, and we forget that religion
is to be used for fighting vice.
'I have known preachers to get ex-
cited because Sunday was not being
kept in a manner which suited them,
when filth in the alleys back of their
houses was breeding flies to spread
disease. Adequate religion makes
butchers screen their meat. farmers
to keep their cows clean, and citizens
keep their alleys clean"

CRAFT IN PRISON
Architects Are Said to Have
Changed Plans for Gain.
Get Per Cent, 1t Is Alleged, of
Money Used.
WHERE The MONEY Went
Believed Enough Has Been
Spent to Complete Prison.
Already Two Million Dollars
Has Been Expended.
WHERE THE MONEY WENT

Leavenworth, Kan. March 4.-Inves-
LEGATIONS at the federal prison appear
to be the order of the day, one follow
ing fast on the heels of the other and
keeping the institution in the limelight.
The prison officials say they have moth
ing to conceal, but admit that each
investigation is. to a certain extent
subversive of discipline. Whenever
special examiner arrives, he comes as
a representative of the attorney gen
eral, and his requests usually are taken
as orders and obeyed accordingly.
Joseph r. Fishman. a special exam
liner of the department of Justice a.
Washington, with stenographer clerk
are at the prison and, it is understood,
will look into the office OF the superin-
tendent of construction and the work
of the prison architects, Fans ana
Young Of ST. Louis. He will go over
the records Of 16 years. when the work
of constructing the United States peni-
tertiary first began.
Architects Get Blame.
1t is understood that certain con
gressmen have taken this matter up
with the attorney general and want to
know why it is that the prison is in
it's present unfinished state after all
these years and after nearly $4,000, 900
has been expended. The prison is but
little, If any, over half completed. The
architects have been receiving consid-
cradle blam, for this delay. They are
paid per cent of all money appropri
ated for construction.
Prison officials practically have moth
ing to say about pushing work on the
buildings, as the warden simply is the
oishursing officer Of the funds. Orders
to start work, to stop it, or to make
changes in plans are received from the
superintendent of prisons and prison
ers Robert V. Ladow, at Washington,
and the architects at st. Louis.
Charges have been made in the past
that there has been graft in connection
with the construction. 1t has been al
legged that the architects frequently
have changed plans, even after part of
the work was finished. in order to pile
up the cost and then increase their
percentage.
1t has been asserted that enough al
ready has been appropriated to CON-
plete the prison according to the origi-
nal plans, and that if it had been done
by contract work the buildings would
have been finished long ago at a much
less cost to the government than under
the present system. The buildings
have been erected by the convicts them
selves.

WELCOMED DAYBREAK.
Topeka Woman Hardly Realizes
Release of Suffering.
Mrs. Mary Lindsey Is Now a
Well Woman, She Says.
LOST ENERGY RETURNED
Couldn't Stay Still Moment and
Time Was Long Period.
On Unhappiness - Since Using
Product She Is Happy.

The great crowds that have thronged
the Arnold Drug company's store for
the past week to consult the specialists
who are stationed there introducing
the new tonic fiona Vita" have caused
much comment.
One of the most interesting callers
there yesterday was Mr.. ]. T. Lindsey,
of 204 West Thirteenth street.
Mr.. Lindsey said: 81 have come a
considerable distance out of my way
to tell you how much good this 'Tona
Vita has done my wife. She was suf-
fering from an attack of nervous pros
tration some time and was unable to
do her housework, in fact she was con-
fined to her bed part of the time. She
had no appetite and was so nervous
that it seemed impossible for her to
be still a moment. Her nights were
restless and the days would go as a
pleasure in life. She seemed to have
lost all energy in everything.
About two weeks ago heard of this
new tonic and what it has done for
went and bought d bottle. She began
to feel better after the first dose and
by the time the whole bottle was fin
ished she was nearer her old self than
she had IN in years. She is now on
the second bottle and it is hard to re-
has left her. She now sleeps soundlZ
and is as cheerful as she was before
she began suffering. She can now do
her work and does not have to lie
down during the day and she is not
nervous any more. I simply can not
praise this tonic enough
I'VE are selling 'Tona Vita to a
great many people here" said one of
the specialists yesterday, but when you
think of this city having several thou
sands of debilitated, half-sick people
who would be immensely benefited oy
the tonic, it does not seem as If we
are accomplishing as much as VIZ
should. However, the sale is growing
larger very fast. as people who are
taking the tonic tell their friends what
it has done, ami this does more than
anything else to make people realize
what a really wonderful tonic 'Tona
Vita is
I'VE will continue to meet all callers
at the Arnold Drug company's store,
523 Kansas avenue, from 9 a. M To 3
p. M, as long as we remain In To-
peka. If the tonic does not do all
we claim for it the purchase price is
returned"

Work on Brooklyn Clubs Home Be
gins Today.

New York, March 4.-Work on the
new playing ground and stadium of
the Brooklyn baseball club will begin
today when President Charles Fbbets
turns the first spadeful of dirt. The
future home of the Brooklyn club,
which is to be known as "Ebbets
field" is nothing but waste of lots
and a motley collection of huts and
cottages, but President Ebbets hopes
that before the next playing season is
over he will be able to open his park
as a rival to the playing fields In
Pittsburg Cleveland, Chicago and
other cities Leading citizens and
baseball enthusiasts have been invit-

NO TIPS FOR HIM.
DIR. Thomas McClary Waging War on
the Practice.

I'm the first place you must do well
what you are doing now, and keep in
mind what you think you ought to be
doing" was the advice given 500 men
at the Novelty theater by DR.. Thomas
McClary of Minneapolis Sunday after
noon in speaking on THE Man With
the Hoe
TOO many parents try to get chill
dren into things that are a little
nicer than the occupations they
ought to be in.
"a travelling man thought he would
find out what business his son would
go into, SO after he had gone to bed
he placed on a table a dollar, a Bible
and a glass of beer. Now said he,
IF the boy takes the dollar he will
become banker, if he takes the
Bible a preacher, and if the takes the
beer he will be a saloonkeeper.' The
boy woke up and first put the dollar
in his pocket, then tucked the Bible
under his arm. and finally drank the
beer. He's certainly going to be a
politician remarked the father.
IF man earns an honest living
he must be of service to his fellow
men. No normal person has a right
the equivalent to somebody"
D. H. Branaman presided. A solo
on the euphonium was rendered by
Fred w. Bowman
DR.. McC1ary is waging a campaign
against the practice of giving tips
While in Topeka he handed out few
copies Of his poem, Tips" dedicated
to those who want other people to pay
their hired help. A few verses fol-
low:
The boy who slides across the floor,
To help me down my grip,
Politely smiles on me and says;
Sir, 1 would like a tip
THE one who shows me to my room,
And drops my case with zip.
Turns to me saying: Is that all3'
And means by that a tip.
And so I'm pulled this way and that
BY hangers on for tips,
And wonder when my cash is gone
If they won't want my grips
MORAL
1.-The Pullman and some Hotel men,
Try hard to save their chips,
By paying off their hired help
With other peoples tips.
THE buzzard hunting for his food,
The very bones he strips,
Has business that is just as good
AS he who lives on tips"

ROOT AND HERB REMEDIES

stand the test of time because they
possess merit and though many years
have passed since our American grand
mothers commenced to make their an
nual collections of roots, herbs and
banks. from which to prepare medicine
to relieve different ailments science has
failed to produce other remedies SO
dependable.
Many of these old recipes which our
ancestors found so reliable have de-
veloped into proprietary medicines OF
worldwide reputation, such as Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, the
most successful remedy for woman's
ills the world has ever known, and
tons of roots and herbs are used an
nally in making it.
