Roosevelt Invades Kansas.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 21.-Colone
Roosevelt began his two days inva.
sion of Kansas today with a speech or
social and industrial progress, and
the need for enactment of proper
workmans compensation laws. The
Colonels itinerary carried him today
to Ottawa, Lawrence and Topeka, and
ha expected to spend the night anc
rest on Sunday as the guest of Will
liam Allen White, the Emporia edi-
tor.
The Colonel was just bit the worse
for wear today. Nearly a dozen speech
es yesterday, eliminating in the big
mass-meeting last night at Omaha,
"frogged" his throat appreciably but
did mot diminish his energy.
There was gloom in the Coloneps
private car today, for Dick Cum
Minis, the moving picture operator,
who has bossed T. R. around and
made him pose his best, and perpetu-
ated the strenuous life on celluiod
films for campaign purposes, left the
party. "Movie Cummins" has "shot
$500 feet of Roosevelt since Sept. 2,
and is leaving to get it on the market.

LEE MAY DEFEND ALLEN.
Famous Virginia Criminal Attorney
May Take Case.

Lvnchburg, Va, Sept. 21.-John j
Iee. when seen this afternoon admit
ted that he has been asked to take
charge of the defense of Sidna Allen
the alleged leader of the Allen clar
which shot up the Carroll county Cir
cult court at Hillsville last March, but
that he had not made a decision If
the matter and would hardly be able
to do so in the next day or two.
Mr.. Lee said he went to Roanoke
Yesterday afternoon at Aliens invita-,
ton, and talked the matter over with
him, took the offer under advisement
and today, after thinking over it that
length of time, had reached no con-
clusion.
While Mr.. Lee gave no such hint, II
would not be a surprise to his friends
TO SEQ him accept the case and go into
It with view to bringing out smoc
phases in the defense of Allen that
have never been brought out in any
of the previous trials.
Mr.. Lee said he had not been spoken

Reached Age of Discretion.

New York, Sept. 21.-That Chicago
girls arrive at the age when they
know what's what, 10 years before
the men of New York land at the age

from the Y. NJ. C. A., order issued here
today, compelling all men IS years
old, or over, to vacate their rooms
Twenty-siX must 60.
Some time ago the Chicago Women's
Christian Association promulgated a
similar general order. Girls IS years
old and over had to 60. They had
Preached the age of discretion" the
Y. w. C. A, officials also maintained
and so had to make room for other
and younger girls less sophisticated.
In the New York Y. NJ. c. A, men of
that age are regarded as care-free
youths in need of the restraining hand.

Natures Lighting.

The efficiency of the system of il.
Illumination operated by firef1ies is en-
pressed in the finding that the light is
cold. Practically all the energy ex-
pended makes light; none is wasted
in producing heat. The efficiency APP
proximates the ideal, one hundred per
cent. How feeble is mans achieve
ment by contrast! Is the efficiency
of artificial lighting ever more than
five per cent. The lightning bug flash
ing like a miniature lighthouse, the
glow worm shining with the serenity
of the Pole Star, the railway beetle
iliumining its path with a red lights
at bow and stern and green lights on
either side-they challenge man to pro
duce something as economical if of no
more effective illuminating power.
Nothing more appealing to the imag-
ination was offered at the international
congress of chemists than the state
ment of one savant that he was striv-
ing to apply the glow worm principle
to commercial use. The assembled
scientists shook their heads doubtfully.
The feeling seemed to be that if sci
ence ever succeeds in taking ovr nat
ure's lighting plant there is yet
nong road to travel.

Mr.. PETERS of Ellsworth: I as
sumo. Nh. Speaker, that we have got
to remain in session anyhow to re-

ton. l would a good deal rather stand
some debate than to stay here.

position To discuss this matter unless
Brother Davies should get into the

Mr.. DAVIES: I doubt very much II
there would be any danger of that. l
have discussed it already so much
that should be almost willing to rest
it upon the previous discussion with
ont taking the time of the House.
Mr.. NEWBERT: Mr. Speaker, | do
not believe we shall gain anything by
sitting now / think we can do 1t all
after supper when we have rested;
do not think we can gain anything by
sitting here now with a headache ana
going along with the matter.
