NEELEY To RESCUE
Asks Good Seat for E. f. Box
well of HoisingtOn.
KanSan'S Hair "A Inches Long
Must See Inauguration.

Washington. Jan. 2S.-Although the
stands have not yet been driven Rep
resentative George A. Nee1ey of Kan
SaS called on the inaugural commit
tee today to reserve him one seat that
must be within view of the spot where
President-elect Wilson will be sworn
in on March 4, must be easy to escape
from Immediately after that ceremony
and must be easily accessible to a
barber shop. Mr.. Neeley wants the
seat for a constituent, E. F. Boxwell
of Hoisington, Kan, who in 1896 took
vow never to have his hair defiled
by barber's shears until a Democrat
took the oath of office as president.
This mans hair, 1 am informed,
is now "A inches or feet or som ething
long" said Mr.. Neeley, land you can't
blame him for wanting to lose most
of it as soon after the Inauguration as
is reasonably possible
Mr.. Neeley then produced the pa
thetic plea of the man from Kansas.
The letter read:
Secure for me seat on the in
uguraI stand. 1 want to see Governor
Wilson lift his right hand and take
the oath of Office. Then me for a
barber shop
1t was announced formally today
that the section of the reviewing g
stand from which President Wilson
and Vice President Marshall and
their immediate families will observe
the parade will be sheathed in glass
The remainder of the stand, however,
will be open to any chill breeze that
may blow.

Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter, Who
VIII Speak at the Kansas Editorial
Association Banquet This Evening.

1.-The successful newspaper mean
successful in it's highest Interpretation
is necessarily controlled by sent1-
mental nature and the more pronounce
ed this sentiment the greater the de-
gree of success.
Business in newspaper work does
not demand a college education 1t
does not require a great financial back
ing. 1t does not comprehend as a
prerequisite a genius for politics or
popularity, though the value of these
cannot be over-estimated; but it does
demand a fine sentimental instinct that
seems to wire up the possessor in
sympathetic touch with all classes of
mankind.
1.-The man who conducts newspaper
for revenue only is a failure The
sweep of thought is boundless. The
sphere of the newspaper with mis-
sion is as wide as the universe"
This paper was discussed by r. P.
McColloch, of the Anthony Bulletin.

HITS MOUNTAIN TOP.
Aeronaut'S Balloon COllideS With
Crest of Mount Wilson.

Los Angeles, Jan. 2S.-Tom McLain. an
aeronaut, escaped death miraculously
when his balloon hit the pinacle of Mount
Wilson, 5000 feet up,and sent him sprawl
ing on the rocks just below the crest OF
the mountain.
McLain was assisting in taking pano-
ra1nic photographs from a captive bal
loon. The leash slipped and the balloon
leaped upward with McLain dangling il
the web. The bag struck the side of
Mount Wilson 20 feet below its crest, the
impact extricating McLain from the
ropes that entangled him. The balloon
continued to soar and has not yet been
found.
