Cannon for Horton.
Washington. d. c., April 2s-Judge
Arthur J. McCabe of Topeka an
to-day that he had recently rendered
resignation Of the position which he
has held in the department Of Justice
for five years or more The reeigna-
| ton. he said, was coupled with the re-
quest that it be accepted to take ef-
feet at the close Of the present fiscal
year, and the request was granted by
the attorney general Judge McCabe's
position is that Of an assistant attor-
ney general defending suits in the court
Of claims branch of the department.
In conversation with the Topeka State
Journal correspondent. Judge McCabe
stated that for some time and for SOW
teral reason he had been celebrating az
to the advisability of taking this step
before the beginning OF another year,
and that his decision was influenced in
| part by what he conceived to be the
trend of affairs under the present adj
ministration.
He said that he has several matters
under consideration. but has not yet
| reached a definite conclusion. and pos
sibly may not make a decision for some
weeks. He naturally feels, he said, .
decided leaning towards returning to
Topeka, where he lived practically all
his life before coming to Washington.
The attorney general, In accedfng to
Judge McCabes request, gave him a
letter in which he complimented the
Kansan very warmly upon his diligent
and faithful service in the department
Of justice. and wished him the highest
success in his undertakings.
Judge McCabe received his appoint

IF the war clouds clear. and the
people have a chance to express their
opinion on the Panama tolls exemption
question. there can be only one answer,
and that will be against the policy OF
President Woodrow Wilson,, said
Henry ]. Allen Of Wichita. who will
have no opposition for the Progressive
nomination for governor OF Kansas.
But I fear the war clouds will not
pass. 1t looks ominous. 1t is clear
that we are in state Of war at this
moment. Once our troops cross the
border, We cannot get out without a
fight. and there appears to be no re-
treat for either side.
Il But If the people can give express
sion. II this issue IL not overshadowed
Il by. the Mexican troubles. l. have no
doubt how the people will vote. The

great waterways upon which we must
depend to reduce our freight rates. If
they are reduced. that there can be but
one verdict.
Must we submit to the dictation of
terest Of the railroads and against the
people the benefit of cheaper transpor-
tation by water?''
Mr. Allen is confident that the Pro-
gressives of Kansas will poll a big
vote in the coming election. Demo-
Gratis and Republicans will nominate
candidates for governor. United States
senator. and other state onicials. and
the night will be three-cornered one
