REST AND RUST.

Labor is tho secret of success
every time.
Have you ever read tho old Ger
man inscription on the key, "If l
rest l rust" Aud it is Just as true
with mankind a. it 10 with iron in
tho key. TO be bright aud shin
ing, to be- successful, aud conss-
qusntly happy, We must keep our
selves polished with the oil of work,
says al exchange.
One of the lessons we must all
learn IL the nobleness of labor, do
ing that which may not have i'm
mediate effect in stimulating the
best powers. but which may servo
the purpose of general advance
mont.
1t 10 our business to contribute
to the general work of llfe-others
have sacrificed for us-and the one
who ignores his obligations to help
his generation is q traitor to the
race.
But a common mistake made by
old and young is that of living in
. future that never comes, dreams
that arc ever shattered. hopes that
are never mstsrializsd, aud insplr-
ations that ara ever dispelled.
Tho only time We can be sure of
10 now. Yet We continually meet

P0P-P0P PATROL.
MotorcycIists Would Serve as Special
Deputies.

Kansas motorcycle riders will organ
ize a patrol to catch horsethieVes, bank
robbers and other law violators ac-
cording to P. E. Zimmerman of Linds-
borg, secretary of the Kansas Short
Grass Motorcycle club. Zimmerman
visited the state house today and his
plan for pop pop patrol was en-
dorsed by Governor Hodges, Attorney
General Dawson, Bank Commissioner
Sawyer and Adtutant General Martin.
There are at present about 600 MEM
bers of the Short Grass Motorcycle
club. Zimmerman's plan would make
the organization statewide and mem
bers of the club would be given the
power of deputy SheriffS in the ap
prehension of law-breakers. Members
of the patrol would serve without pay,
although they would be entitled to any
rewards offered for apprehension of
criminals.
Il beliexe the patrol would prove of
great benefit to the local officers in
the counties of the state,'' said Zim-
norman. with the new and modern
methods of escape which are adopted
by law breakers, the work of the mo-
torcycle patrol would give them an
awful handicap. Another purpose to
which the patrol would be of service
would be in the army encampments
when our members could act as mes
sengers or aides"
Zimmerman's plan would call for an
organization in every county in the
state, with state, district and county
officers who could direc. the work of
the men assigned to the jobs of crimi-
nal catching. Each member of the
patrol would be given deputy sheriff's
and would have the power
to make arrests for law violations.
State officials with whom Zimmerman
today discussed his plan, declared that
they believed the new organization
would prove valuable to the state in
the enforcement of law and approved

SAVED HIM A TRIP.
United States Marshal Did Not Have
to Go After Lair.

United States Marshal John L. Harrison
was saved a trip TO California when Henry
Lair, convicted of violating the white
slave law, travelled half way across the
continent alone, and voluntarily gave HIM
self up.
Lair was convicted in Chicago of white
slave traffic and found guilty under the
federal law. He applied for a writ of
habeas corpus on the ground that Chicago
is not a port of entry and that, therefore,
in importing the slaves from Europe he
had not violated the government statutes.
Judge Phillips of this district heard the
case and released Lair.
The United States district attorneys
office appealed and the decision was re-
versed. Later the decision was taken to
the supreme court and sustained.
In the meantime Lair had settled in
California AS soon as the mandate
reached Topeka he was informed of the
reversed decision. He wired that he
would leave for Kansas at once, presented
himself in the office of the United states
and was returned to complete
his term at the Leavenworth federal pen.

Capitol Assault Today.

Washington, April 22.-Congres-
siona1 investigation of the assault on
Representative Sims by c. c. Glover,
a Washington banker, got under way
before the select committee appointed
by Clark. Representative Sims des-
cribed the incident in detail. Captain
McAlister of the revenue cutter SER
vice, testified he heard Glover say to
Sims and shaking a fist in the latter's
face:
You are a - lying scoundrel," and
then saw Glover strike Sims in the
face. Sherman Allen, assistant secre-
tary of the treasury testified Glover
declared just before he struck Sims:
You are an infamous liar"
The committee will report to the
house by Saturday. Glover was not
present but sent a letter saying: In
moment of passion, he had taken
the law in his own hands and that he
desired in the fullest and most en-
phatic manner to disclaim any inten-
ton of showing disrespect to the
house"
He added, however, that he reserved
the right to fall back on a decision of
the supreme court.

PROVIDED CUPBOARD.
But 1t Was Bare, Alleges Wife of
VIM. Cozad.

Because William Cozad does not
support her nor her children. and is
cruel in that he refuses to permit her
to talk to her children during meals,
and because he has supplied only a
cupboard and nothing to put in it dur
ing their married life, Margaret Cozad
has filed suit in the district court ask
ing for separate maintenance in the
shape of a payment of $50 month
They were married August %, 1912,
she says. She has two children by a
former marriage, Leila and John
Howell, aged 10 and IA years respect
lively. Cozad promised to take care
of them, she says, but has not done
so. He not only will not furnish her
anything to eat or wear but has for
hidden that she work at anything
whereby she might earn a living for
herself and her children. She has
been compelled, she says, to appeal
to the Provident Association for help,
much to her humiliation.

house together. Altogether they lived as
husband and wife for about four months
So it is not the first time young Wal
bridge who will be 21 years old next

The secretaries of the charity or
ganizations of Kansas City, Kan,
Wichita and Topeka, G. w. Pfieffer,
M. W. Woods and Miss Mary r. Vose.
respectively, in all-day session today

vent these cities from being the dump

be brought to bear in the direction
of the formation of chartered chari-
table associations in all Kansas cities

alton will get in touch with the charity
workers in the towns nearest Topeka.

towns to Topeka. The secretaries of
the Wichita and Kansas City associa-
tions will use the same methods of
procedure

Fined $500 for Selling Liquor.

Even the heavy sentences imposed
uDon convicted jointists by District
Judge George H. Whitcomb at the re-
quest of County Attorney w. E. Atch-
ison faded somewhat into insignifi-
canoe this morning when J. G. Dor
cas-. convicted of maintaining a joint
at BIG Van Buren street, was assessed
to nay fine of $500 and to serve 80
days in the city prison for the one Of
fense. Dorcas filed notice of appeal
from the decision of Judge George A.
Huron and had filed his appeal bond
i'm the sum of $500, as demanded, when
he was rearrested on state warrant
charging the same offense for which
he had been convicted in the police
court. The place was caught red
handed the police say, men and
women being found drinking on the
premises when the place was raided.
The county officers Immediately took
advantage ge of the police raid and a
brand new warrant charging the same
offense was issued. Dorcas gave bond
and was released. His case probably
will come to trial some time during the
present term of the district court.

Gillett Must Hear wilcox Cases.

Judgeg. Preston B. Gillett of King
man must either hear the cases in
which E. c. Wilcox of Anthony appears
as an attorney or must grant the law
yer a chance to try the cases before
a special judge or secure a change of
venue. That was substantially the
message which the supreme court this
afternoon conveyed to Judge GilIett in
an application for writ of mandamus
filed by Wilcox.
Twice the Gillett-Wilcox troubles
come before the supreme court on
mandamus proceedings. Because Will
cox is defendant in a disbarment suit
now before the supreme court, Judge
Gillett has refused to hear contested
cases in which wilcox acts as an at
torney. No writ was issued by the
court, but in a telephone communica-

lett would permit the trial of the Will
