GAYNOR SAYS WOMEN LIE.
The Mayor Is Now in Controversy with
WOuld-Re Fire Inspectors,

New York, June 13.-Mayor Gaynor il
now in conference with women would be
fire inspectors. Miss Juliette Arden
leader of the women who claim that Fire
Commissioner johnson Disseminated
against them on account Of their sex in
the appointment of fire inspectors, is
out of town, and Miss Inez Milholland
Ii in charge She states that Miss Ar
den called upon the mayor soon after
her story appeared in the papers on
May "a, and as a result the mayor
wrote:
Since you were here with your com
mittee the other day | have received
letters from the fire commissioner and
from the president of the civil service
from which / learn that You
were fully informed on the whole sub.
iect before you came TO me; | also find
that the statements made to me by YOU
and your committee have no foundation,
and that you are fully aware OF that
fact. You are also, all of you, fully
aware that two separate lists were made
up----one for men and one for women.
It does no good to come to me with
mere madeup statements on any sub
iect.

the Panama Pacific exposition. That is
about the most foolish expenditure OF
a large sum of money that can be imag-
ined The prestige of Massachusetts, is
too strong to allow the fear to rise
that the state will be lost sight of if
it should fail to put up costly build
ing at the exposition. Meanwhile, the
people Of Massachusetts, may wait for
a half million expenditure on the next
exposition which puts in a demand, or
request, for an appropriation Massa-
chusetts would not have been called
stingy if it had refused to make this
quarter of a million dollar appropriation,
for quarter of a million dollars will go
quite a ways toward improving the con
ditions of the people and things inside
the state; but, as the Boston Traveller
says, "the game has been intelligently
played and "all previous records have
been broken without difficulty"

SHOW THE FLAG
Correspondent Refers to Anniversary of
Adoption of Stars and Stripes.

Mr. Editor: I would most respectfully
ask for a little space in your paper
that we might ask the many who read
it to display the flag on Saturday, June
14,which is the l36th anniversary. 1t is
well known fact that the flag floats
now over many school houses and in
many Sunday schools In AIassachus-
etts, law has been passed making it
compulsory to fly the flag on all school
houses
Though the United States is the
youngest OF the great nations of the
world, its flag is older than that of any
other. June II, III, was the day
Continental Congress passed the fol-
lowing;
Resolved, That the flag of the thir-
teen united states be thirteen stripes al
ternate red and white; that the union
be thirteen stars, white in blue field,
representating new constellation.
April 4. 1918, another act was passed
that from and after the Fourth OF July
next. the flag of the Uuited States be
thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate red
and white; that the union be twenty
stars, white in a blue field; that on the
admission of every new state into the
union. one star be added to the union of
the flag. and that each addition shall
take effect on the fourth day of July
the next succeeding such admission.
Vermont has reason to be proud of
her battle SCARED flags in the State
House. II has been said the blood Of
half a million heroes appears in the
red OF the stripes and that the white
was made whittier in fountains OF tears
that flowed for our blue coated heroes

patriotism in our hearts and with the
flag Of our country in the hands Of our

and girls who have been learning so
much patriotism at school remember to /

Some voters in the town of Plymouth
objected to the candidacy of certain
woman for school director and advanced
the argument that she had no grand list
in the town. That point does not APP
pear to be well taken because there are
great many men in Vermont who
pay only poll tax and all of them
are considered eligible to hold office;
and a considerable number of them get
elected. They have grand list because
it is forced on them. Doubtless the
Plymouth woman would gladly take the
poll tax grand list if it were forced
on her. together with the privileges
which its possession implies. But even
under present conditions, her ability to
serve the town of Plymouth is not weak
ened by the fact that she does not pay
taxes.

The vote of the Montpelier city coun-
Gil to purchase $4,000 automobile truck
for the street department has stirred
up no end of discussion in the neighbor-
ing city, and the Evening Argus pre-
sents series of questions which it
hopes someone will answer, few of
which are extremely to the point, The
voters there seem to be in the dark re-
garding the preliminary negotiations for
the vehicle, which is the beginning of
the trouble between the council and the
part of the public that opposes the pur-
chase. Of course, they have right
to be enlightened about their own af-
fairs.

2s,1oo,o53 POTATOES
They Are Spelling on Tracks at Mime
apolis and May Be Given for Charity.

Minneapolis, Mimi, June 13.--One
hundred thousand bushels of potatoes,
said to be spelling on the tracks here,

tutions. A Minneapolis produce COM
pany has been appointed committee to
confer with the railroad atficials on the
proposition Of giving the potatoes to
charity, provided the roads will cancel
the freight charges.
The extraordinary congestion of old
crop potatoes is said to be partly due to
the arrival Of new potatoes from the

APOLOGY FOR GLOVER.
Washington Banker Tells House He Is
Sorry He Hit Sims.

Washington, May 1O.-Charles c..
Glover, the Washington banker who
recently attacked Representative Sims
of Tennessee on account of a speech
delivered in the house, was brought be-
fore the bar of the house late Friday and
reprimanded by Speaker Clark for vio-
1ating the privileges of the house.
A resolution authorizing the bank
er's arrest had been adopted few min
utes before with only four dissenting
votes. When brought in by the ser
geant-at-arms Glover read an apology,
saying that his act was committed I'M
der great stress of feeling and that
he did not know he was affronting the
house.
This was the first time in nearly 40
years that an outsider had been ar
raigned before the house for contempt.
The assault occurred in Farragut
Square on April IS, when Representa-
tive Sims and Mr.. Glover met for the
first time after the former had made a
speech in the house severely criticising
Mr.. Glover in connection with the pro-
posed sale of certain District of Column
bia real estate to the government.

Dodge City, Kan, May 10.-New
time cards on the Santa Fe's Colmer
cutoff ere generally commonplace,
but the one which went into effect
oday is significant to the history of
the former five railroadless counties
of Kansas to the southwest. The first
trains on the new road ran into Elk
hart the end of the first division of
the road, at 500 o'clock. The first
train will pull into the new town and
service to the Oklahoma line will have
been officially started. AS each of
the ten new towns along the route
have been plated a new time card
has been issued heralding its magic
advent into the railroad world. All
these towns have been in Kansas.
Construction will be discontinued at

CODDING A JOINT SNIASHER.
Rumored That He Will Assist Liquor
Enforcement in LeavenwOrth.

Leavenworth. Kan, May 10.-When
Warden Codding's term of office at
the state prison expires July 1, he will
devote his time to Kidding Leaven-
worth of the joint nuisance, according
to a report which followed his return
from Topeka It is said to be his in
tention to establish a branch of the
temperance union here, and, that
done, it is probable a campaign the
like of which never before has been
launched here will force persons who
insist upon the illegal sale of intoxi-
eating liquor out of the city.
When asked concerning this matter
Warden Codding was somewhat elu-
sive in his replies. You may say,
however, that when 1 leave the state
prison 1 will open a law office in
Leavenworth to make a living. What
l will do remains to be SEEM he said.

The BEST THING
Kansas Girls the States Great
est Product.
So Says Boston Paper, and
ReioiceS i'm 1T.

Boston Christian Science Monthly:
For three score of years, at least, Kan
sas has been in the limelight Even
before it became a state, and when its
population was sparse, it seemed to
possess beyond any of its sisters along
the frontier or on either side of it, the
faculty of focusing national attention.
The original progressives of the ma
ton founded Kansas, and while they
may have expressed themselves from
time to time under different partisan
political banners. it cannot be truth
fully said that Kansans have at any
time, even temporarily, ceased to be
original or progressive.
They are as original and progressive
today as they ever were. The story of
their triumph over the "Great Amer
lean Desert has often been told. They
found Kansas treelesS and deSolate;
they have made it a grove and a gar
den; they found it in buffalo grass;
they have sown it with all the golden
cereals; they found themselves on the
firing line of the great internal dis
turbance that once divided the repub-
lie, they found themselves in the van
guard of civilization, they found that
they must bear the brunt of resistance
to the onward strides of a restless and
migrating race, they were confronted
with flood and drought, with the un-
checked sweep of the Rocky noun
tain hurricane, with the plaques of the
mortgaged homes = they passed
through it all with fortitude, and they
have come out of it all with victory.
Today Kansas is contented, enlight
ened, magnificent producer, a lender
rather than a borrower, the home of
universities, colleges, serninaries, acad-
emies, schools; the friend of culture,
the patron of the motor car, a land of
handsome farmhouses and big barns,
and, as has been its custom at inter-
walls through all its years, today it is
Boosting. This time, however, it's voice
is not raised in political exultation, it
is not flattering itself on the size of it's
crops, it is not asking that admiring
ears and eyes be turned toward it's
orators or its sweet singers, it is not
defiantly hurting a reply back to its
favorite but all too daring son William
Allen White, who once conceived the
idea that there was som ething the
matter with it. 1t is doing none of
these things. 1t is simply boasting of
its girls.
TheSe are no better girls to be found
anywhere in the world. declares Kan
sas, than those born and bred and edu-
Gated within it's own borders. They
are everything, says Kansas, that girls
should be. They are blooming, blush
ing and bright. Their percentages in
school are above the average. They
are learning not only to grace the par
lor, but to supervise the home. They
know a lot, and are learning more,
about farming. They are practical.
They are everything that the most ex-
acting could desire in girls, and yet
they are girls. The nation is proud of
its daughters a whole, but that will |
not prevent it from joining with Kan
sas in a special celebration over it's |
discovery that the Kansas girls are |
the best of all the Kansas products.

Prison Guard Arrested.

Leavenworth, Kan, May 10.-John
Morgan, guard at the military pris-
on, was arrested Friday night on the
order of Lieutenant Colonel Thomas
Slavens, charged with making no eff
fort to prevent the escape of Charles
Craw, an inmate of the prison. Nor
gan will be tried by a general court
martial.
Morgan was detailed to guard Craw
and several other men at work on the
post terminals. Craw, it is said, walk
