DEBATE ON SINGLE TAX.
Disciple of Henry George Meets Sup
porter of Marx Theory.

Emporia. Kan. Feb. 12.-Last night
a notable debate between Lee Francis
Lybarger of Pennsylvania and Arthur
Morrow Lewis of Illinois on the single
tax question was held under the aus
pices of the faculty of the Kansas
State Normal. Mr.. Lybarger is an ad-
vocate of the principles of Henry
George as a solution to the present
economic and social question of la
Dor, land and wealth, while Mr.. Lewis
upho1ds the Socialistic doctrine of
Karl Marx from the standpoint of evo-
luton.
This was the first time the two men
had ever met, and they threshed the
matter in a thorough and mastery
manner in the fifty minutes allotted to
each. No formal decision was rem
dered, and each defended his platform
in such an able manner that the au-
dience was contented to call the talk
fest a draw. 1t was the most scholar
ly presentation of the subject ever
heard in Emporia.

SLAVE OF FRIEND
Deserted Bride Helped ~ Old
Man Cruelty Treated.
Grateful for Assistance in For
mer Years, She Shields Him.

Hutchinson, Kan, Feb. IA wom-
ans scream as she was literally kicked
down a stairway of a business block in
the very heart of Hutchinson's BUSH
ness district. attracted attention OF
neighbors.
The man who had beaten and kicked
her left and the victim abjectly drag
geo herself back to her room. When
neighbors who had come to her succor
offered assistance and made inquiries,
She declared everything was all right,
and refused to accept help.
The strange affair led to a quiet in
vestigation being made however, which
has unearthed a remarkable situation.
For Is years a man, now above mid
die age, has been living a double life
In a hu- Die home in the residence
district his faithful wife lives all UNI
aware that in the business district. in
a suite of rooms in a centrally loca-
ted business block her husband, old
enough to be a grandfather, is MAIN
tanning another household.
She Thinks She Is Wife.
And strange enough as it may seem,
it develops that the woman who was
being kicked and beaten, and whose
condition attracted the attention of
neighbors has believed all of these
years that she is the real wife, by
common law, of the man, not dream
ing that he also had legal wife in
another part of the city.
The man in the case is employed
as an agent in a position of trust. and
is above suspicion by his employers
For many years he has been a well
known resident of Hutchinson.
As the story is related by neighbors
who have been investigating, the young
Woman who figures wife No. 2
came to Hutchinson as a girl bride
about 20 years ago. In a short time
her husband deserted and abandoned
her.
Elderly Man Helped Her.
Impoverished and deserted, she was
glad to accept the kindly offers of
help by the fatherly man who offered
her a home, and since then, for 16
years, she has not only been his
protege, but has regarded herself as
his common law wife.
In another part of town the mans
wife lives in the family home, COM
pletely ignorant OF the double life of
her husband.
All of this was brought out in the
investigation which has been going on.

TROUBLE WITH MENNoNITEs.
School Law Openly Disregarded by
Russian ColOnists.

Meade, Kan, Feb. 12.-This city is
aroused over the probability of serious
trouble with a considerable settle
ment of Mennonites in Meade county,
near here The trouble raiser is the
state law requiring children of certain
ages to attend school at least five
months in each year.
Investigation shows that since Sep
TENDER less than half the children of
school age in district No. 81 and sew
eral adjoining districts in the Men
MONTE settlement have made any pre-
tense of obeying the law.
County authorities have been pc
titioned by patrons all over the county
to enforce the law and say they will do
so if they have to send police after
every child in the settlement each day.
The Mennonites urge it is unfair to
require their children to attend Eng
hsh schools in this section, as. they
allege, MennoniteS in other parts of
the state are supporting German
schools by taxation in violation of the
law.

SHE WANTED THE UMBRELLA.
So Mrs. Kelly Asked for One With

The famous Mike Kelly was a
unique character. He never gave the
future much thought, but while he
played he was one of the most popu-

diamond.
Tom Mccarthy tells a story about
Kelly that shows something of his pc
culiarities. 1t seems that Kelly was
needed for two games with the Giants,
and the manager told him if he would
keep straight and be in fine shape he
would make him a present of a fine
umbrella The manager later told
Mrs. Kelly of the present that her
husband was to get for riding on the
water wagon.
Well" she said. 81 hope you get
him a straight-handled umbrella"
Why" asked the manager.
