No other spot has been the
center of SO much of the history
of the American South West and
no other building has continuous
record of such import to all who
now dwell under the American
fiag IN what was once the Louisi-
ana Purchase, as has the old St.
Louis Cathedral Of New Orleans
which is to be restored. An aD-
peal for the raising of the funl
tor this restoration is made to
every resident of Louisiana all of
whom should be impressed with
the fact that it Is the oldest V. ya.-l /
most Interesting historical relic Of
Louisiana indeed of the whole
Mississippi Valley and general
contribution from patriotic lovers
of their State, who are interested
in the past and its glorious men,
Ories, is needed to raise the
100000 for its restoration.

the part that this old cathedral
played in the history of Louisiana

publish little laterand this week

NO VOTE THIS. SESSION
Currency BIZ win Go Over Into the
Succeeding One.

Washington, Nov. 22.-Both Sec
lions of the senate. banking commit
tee have agreed on concentration of
reserves, their volume and mObiliza-
ton, the volume of the capital of
the proposed banks, promotion of an
open discount market, provision for
elastic currency, the issuance of fed
eral reserve notes, that the federal
notes should be obligations of the
United States, that the system should
be a regional federal reserve bank
system instead of a central bank, and
on the control of the system itself by
the gov ernment.
The report of the administration
Democrats reviewing the differences
in the committee on the currency bill
concludes:
Those differences arise in the main
because of two schools of thought,
one part of the committee believing
in a central bank administered by a
central board, and the other part of
the committee proposing to establish
a number of comparatively independ-
ent district banks administered by
boards of directors chosen from the
several districts"
The bill was made the unfinished
business of the senate on motion of
Chairman Owen, who announced he
would make no, effort to begin it's de-
tailed consideration or to secure a
vote on any amendments before the
end of the special session.

When the court room finally was

SNEEzE LOSES A MEAL
Pelican Swallowed Two Pigeons, But
Couldn't Keep EN- Down.

Bill Snyder. headkeeper in the zoo in
Central park, was seated in the hay
house when an excited young woman
rushed in. The pelican had just swal-
lowed two pigeons, she exclaimed.
That happens about twice a month"; %
said Snyder and laughed.
But the poor birds! What becomes
of them?" cried the visitor.
''They wait until the pelican sneezes. -
said Snyder. Come with me. I'll show
you.''
Snyder led the way to the large bird
cage. Ell Captain, the largest pelican,
looked sheepish, and the pouch under
her great bill bulged enormously. Sny-
der called Bob Hurton, another keeper.
Are you ready?" he asked.
II am" said Hurton.
lei Capitan" they reared together
{ The great bird started, opened her
bill. and out flew the pigeons.
You see," explained Snyder, their
feathers were dry, and a bird cannot
swallow a dry feathey substance. So
we startle the pelican by shouting her
name, and that gives the pigeons a
chance to escape."-New York Times.

Washington. Nov. 22.-Contrary to
the predictions of great many per-

meetings with newspaper correspond

presidents office, and he talks freely
to them concerning the business Of
the government. Nothing is permit

when the president was away from

ANCIENT INDIAN ARMoRY.

the world submits to. such question
ing as goes on at these meetings. 1t
is fine thing for the president OF the
United States. for 1t enables him to
keep in touch with the news distrfb-
uting facilities, and 1t is, of course, a
finer thing for the newspapers and
the people. After all, the people are
the real beneficiaries of such demo-
cratic arrangement"
On the whole. the president is ex-
tremely frank in discussing public
affairs in answer to the questions
that are asked. Newspaper men
months ago became impressed with
the fact that he never attempts to
deceive. If a question is asked about
a matter known to be under consid-
Grafton and President Wilson feels
that he ought not to talk about 1t, he
disposes of the question by saying, Il
think I ought not to discuss that at
this time" Generally speaking. the
business of the government is dis

cussed with as much freedom as he
could exercise in talking 1t over with
member Of his cabinet. Frequently
1t becomes necessary for the president
to say, What shall now say to you
is for your Information and guidance,
and is not to be used.
+ Unquestionably these semi-weekW
conferences have done much toward
making the news that goes out OF the
national capital reliable. They serve
to check up on the matter that has
been written during the three or four
days preceding each conference. The
president himself rarely complains of
newspaper inaccuracy, and never of
criticism of his administration. Only
once during the eight and one-half
months has he directly called atten-
ton to a newspaper story. That was
when he pointed out that a state
ment printed in a New York paper
to the effect that he had decided to
abolish cabinet meetings was not true.

PARENTS BLAMED
Are Punished Too Little and
Children Too Much
Is View Of. National League Of
Truancy Officers.

st. Louis, Nov. 22.-Uniform mar
riage and divorce law, uniform com
pulsory education and child labor
laws and an adequate mothers PEN
sion law, were advocated in resolu-
tons adopted by the National League
OF Compulsory Education officials
during the second session of their an
nual convention here today. The or
ganization is comprieed of truant Of
f1cers of so of the largest cities in the
country. Another resolution deplored
the failure to enforce the birth regis
tration laws and blamed parents for
the prevalence of truancy and many
other deficiencies characteristic of the
small boy. The resolution declared
children are being punished too much
and parents too little.
To remedy this the organization
proposed the establishment OF courts
of domestic relations throughout the
country where parents are to be tried
for the Offenses of their children when
the parents contribute to the causes
making those offenses possible. A
resolution was adopted urging moth
ers to protect their daughters more
and fathers their sons more against
the dangers of life by teaching them

schools was recommended.

New Felix store Is Open.

The new store of the Felix Clothing
company was opened today under ia
vorable conditions. That the Topeka
people are interested in the reorganized
concern was shown by the fact that the
store was a busy place all day long.
The new modern plate glass front is
one of the most attractive fronts in
Topeka, and affords excellent oppor-
tunity of displaying goods to advan-
tage-. Within the store the fixtures are
pretentious, and the stock of mems and
boys clothing and furnishings is en-
tirely new. The show - cases are of
