If have engagement to receive man at two
twenty, receive him at two-twenty, and II there is
another to at two-twenty-slx, he sees me at

This was the essence of frankness and it explained
several that had been going the rounds in Wash
ngton the effect that he kept his callers within the
limits of the time allowed them. More than man,
down the daily program for call of ten minutes,
had used up the time discussing particular topic
and then had added:
But there is another subject, Mr.. President even
important than this, which wish to take up with
YOU.
And on such occasions the President had slipped his
watch of his pocket taken fleeing glance at it, and
said with air of fnality, But your time has expired
There is another gentleman waiting outside to
I'm sorry.
This of course ANNOYED the men who wished to pro-
long their conferences into the seblance of small talk
at afternoon teas; but the annoyance off when
each one to the realization that, having
gagement at the White House to see Mr. Wilson, he
would be admitted to his office on the minute OF the
appointment
He was absolutely right in what he said about his
punctuality. He keeps all his engagements the
minute So accurately does he work regards time
that when he smashed the precedent of more than
hundred years and read his annual message in person
to the assembled House and Senate, it took him only
thirty-three minutes to do it. including the time re-
qured in going to the Capitol and returning to the
White House.
TT was to the second question that he made
the most surprising statement of all. The question
was:
"How does the work of the presidency compare with
that of the governorshp of the State of New Jersey?
"Oh," he said instantly "the work is much easier
here"
He explained it in this way:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-05-25

"You see, in New Jersey everybody came trooping
into office Just as they would into any public place,
and readily accessible to everybody all the time
any possible question from morning until night
Here you know it is impossible and impracticabe for
to be visited by the whole United States, and the
work is laid out and systematzed that see only
those people who have real business to transact with
as President.
"Ths, of course is with the exception of the public
receptions that given from time to time to various
parties of visitors or to organizations Naturally the

onerous here they in New Jersey. | say the
issues far more varied; but, when it comes to
question of the demands on mans physical strength
and resources the presidency easier job than the
Jersey governorshp This work IS easier far easier IN
that way.

beginning that his is mind that is trained to the
rare thought combination of both depth and quick

he said this prompness is due his methodical way

The Wilson dinner hour and the Tafts dned at

allowed himself as did Mr.. Taft to get far behind in

AFTER LEWIS WISDOM
Charged with Assault and Selling
Liquor.

The sheriff's office today issued
warrant for Lewis Wisdom, 312 East
First street, on a felony liquor charge.
Warrants have also been issued for
the participants in the bloody scrap
which occurred Sunday afternoon at
the alleged joint, charging them of
assault with intent to kill.
An unknown negro attacked three
Firms at 312 East First street Sunday
afternoon and succeeded in cutting
the face of John Gustafson, 800 Ger
man avenue, and taking a chunk out
of his forehead and nose. John Tan
ner and Werner Aultere, Firms, bare
ly escaped the same fate. 1t is
claimed that the three Finland men
were drinking beer at Skunk" Wis
dom's house when the negro began
the attack.
Chief of Police Joe Ross and an
officer hurried to the scene and met
the wounded man at Fourth and Kan
sas avenue. He was taken to DR.. o.
E. Taylor for treatment and later
taken to his home. The officers
found all quiet at the Wisdom house
but discovered a barrel of beer and
several whisky "empties." In a near
by house a Mexican was found and
taken to the police station charged
with drunkenness. The aSsailant of
the Firms has not been found.

AT THE PICTURE HOUSES
The Iris.

A beautiful yet thrilling story is
told on the screen at the Iris today
and tomorrow in Brennan of the
Moor the three reel feature picture
made in the Emerald Isle, telling the
story of a classical Irish legend of the
early Nineteenth century when the
English having invaded Ireland and
taken possession of the grants
made to them by the British crown,
had oppressed and impoverished their
tenants and Iaborers until the Irish
nobility had sacrificed their fortunes
to help the unfortunate countrymen.
One of these was Sir Godfrey O'Malley
who ruined himself because of his
generosity and died disappointed
man. His son Brennan realizing the
cause of his fathers failure and death
became a highwayman and robbed
from the rich to give to the poor. His
identity is discovered only when his
love for a woman leads him to tell her
who he is and is overheard by his ri
val. His experiences are thrilling,
but he and the lady arrive safely in
the Land of the Free.

FOR PROHIBITION
Governor Hodges Goes on Record on
the Question.


Governor Hodges today went on
record for national prohibition in a
telegram sent to Howard j. Russell,
superintendent of the Antf-Saloon
League of America. The9telegram
was sent to Russell in response to a
message from the Anti-Saloon League
superintendent asking for an answer
to the statement recently made by
Governor Baldwin of Connecticut in
opposition to the resolution adopted
by the national council of Congrega-
tional churches.
November II, the Kansas executive
will address the Anti-Saloon League of
America at it's national convention in
Columbus, Ohio, and has promised to
discuss the question of national pro-
hibition Governor Baldwin opposed
the resolution adopted by the national
council of Congregational churches on
the theory that the national act would
be contrary to the spirit of the ma
tional government and authority re-
served by the states and the limited
spirit of the central power. Replying
to the Russell telegram, Governor
Hodges today sent the following
message
1.-The proposition that national pro-
hibition is contrary to the whole spirit
of our government sounds like the
slavery arguments of rs years ago.
Human rights had to be considered in
preference to state rights in. settling
that question and welfare of humanity
must be given preference in settling
the liquor question. shall discuss
Anti-Saloon League of America at
Columbus, Ohio, November IL, and
give my reasons then for favoring ma

GOT A RAW DEAL
High School Players Got Worst of 1t
at Emporia.

Topeka high school received an unfair
deal when the football team went to
Emporia last Saturday, according to
c. H Hepworth, director of athletics.
Seven times the team was within two
yards of the Emporia goal when Referee
Owen Samuel Lyon county attorney,
heavily penalized Topeka. One time
Glass was over the line for a touch
down, md Samuel called the play back
to the starting point after the local
halfback made a 30 yard run. Calihan
was put out of the play in the third
quarter, the referee alleging rough
play" Hepworth raised an objection
to this and because of his objection,
the Topeka team was spenaHzed half
way down the field s r ME
This angered the high school direc-
tor and he called the team off the
field The team was anxious to keep
on playing so the game continued. 1t
is said that Topeka outplayed the En-
poria team in every part of the game,
losing 10 to on the severe penalties in
fficted by the lawyer referee. Topeka
was penalized over 140 yards during the
game; Emporia was penalized once, re-
ceiving the minimum of five yards.

ON THE THIRD FLOOR
And You Must Climb Many Steps to
See the Mayor.

The city of Topeka is falling behind
itself. Sounds impossible, but it is a
fact. The city of Topeka as a city is
not up to date in comparison with in
dividual and company enterprises of
the city. There is not a person nor a
corporation in Topeka doing one
thousandth part of the business the
city does, that would have its. main
office on the third floor of a building
not equipped with an elevator, but if
anyone wishes to call on the mayor
of Topeka, the city clerk, city treasur-
er, license collector, auditor, electrical
inspector, commissioner of finance, or
the commissioner of parks, or any
thing connected with the sanitary de-
partment of the city, he or she must
climb to the third floor.
Il am in favor of installing an ele-
vator," said Mayor Cofran this morn
ing. He was told that probably every
member of the city commission was
also in favor of such a convenience.
And yet the members of the city
commission continue elm bling two
flights of stairs and causing others to
do the same, because they are prac-
ticing economy.

.FREEHOLDERS PLAN
FOR HOSPITAL ANNEX

In a Quest for ideas looking to the
construction of tuberculosis quarters
in connection with the Overlook
Hospital for the Insane, the freehold
ers' building committee, and several
other members of the board, with the
county consulting architects, visited
Matteawan Hospital for the Crimina,
Insane, at Fishkill, N. Y, yesterday
to inspect the method employed there
In the care of consumptive inmates.
While the information gained at
Matteawan was not particularly
valuable, as it was found tina the
hospital has no tuberculosis de ert-
ment such as the Essex men expected
to find, yet g. plan was evolved at
the suggestion of Supervisor Schick-
haus, which is believed to be feas-
ible.
Instead of constructing pavilions
far removed from the main buildings,
as has been contemplated, and which
If made to conform INTELLECTUALLY to
the present buildings might cost up
wards Of 1 hundred thousand dollars,
it was s, ggested by the supervisor
that a pavilion be built as wing to
some portion of the main structure
This plan would avoid the necessity
of employing an extra department,
superintendent and staff, and besides
would enable the utilizing of the
same heating plant and other con-
veniences, without the additional ex-
pense of installing new outfits. as
would be the case il the pavilion is
completely segregated.
