THE ONLY ANTIDoTE

Much has been written on the
mail order evil but none OF 1t Is
more to the point than the following
by Clyde H. Knox Of the lndepen-
dence Reporter:
Twenty-Five mail sacks full OF
mail order house catalogues were
received at the Independence post
office the other day and most OF
them went out on the seven rural
routes. Each catalogue is half as
big as an unabridged dictionary and
of course contains pictures ana
prices of practically every article
known.
Instead of holding meetings and
adopting resolutions, the country
merchants should meet this compe-
tition on its own ground-that OF
the liberal use of printers ink. The
mail order houses are among the
greatest advertisers in the United
States today. They do not use locaI
newspaper space because the editors
are too loyal to their towns to sell
It to them. The mail order mer
adopt the next best method of pub
licity which is the catalogue anc
circular letter. Local merchants d'

catalogues because they can reacl
their trade through the various 10
cal papers. Systematic newspape

GOING TO COLLEGE

Another month will see a large
proportion Of the young people OF
Kansas, who have finished their high
school courses, starting In on the
work of some of the numerous col
leges of the state, or perhaps enter
ing a similar course in the schools
of other states. Going to college
ia coming to be accepted as a part
of the preparation Of the young
man or young woman. Every year
sees a larger proportion Of students
from the high schools looking for a
more complete equipment before en-
tering on their life work; and q
college course Is more important
now than ever before because OF the
competition that will be met in eV-
ery line of endeavor emphasizes the
value of the most thorough train
ing.
Yet the college trained student
the same as his father or grandfath
err, who perhaps did not enjoy tina
advantage, finds that his course vii
aid him only as he is able to make
use of the training by applying 1t tc
life In a practical way. 1t may De
that the course he will select will bt
one in which the cultural studies
will predominant but the training
that comes from their mastery will
be worth while If he can take 1t anc
apply his energies with the efficienc!
that has come from training to the
problems he meets after completing
the course laid down in the texts.

GLAD CURTIS is BACK

A Washington dispatch says:
Former Senator Charles Curtis OF
Kansas arrived in Washington today
after a week spend with his son, Q
lawyer in Detroit. Mr.. Curtis is be-
ing heartily congratulated by his
former colleagues and friends over
HIS victory In the recent primaries
for the nomination Of senator on the
Republican ticket. He expressed
confidence in the success of the Re-
publican ticket In the SunfioWer
state this fall.
"The Republicans will carry Kan
sas this year" said Mr.. Curtis 10
the state Journal correspondent. Il
|belIeye we shall elect the entire state
ticket and carry seven out OF the
eight congressional districts, with a
good chance OF winning all OF the
members of the house.
kansas was one OF the strong
Progressive states in 1912, but IN
the recent primaries the Progress
siyes cast a very light vote. Roose-
welt always had a great deal OF
strength In Kansas, which accounted
largely for the hig vote the Progress
sives polled in 1919.
ut certainly looks as If the great
majority of the Progressives Will
vote the Republican ticket this year
and I believe that by 1915 nearly
all the Progressives will have return
ed to the G. o. P.
kansas is a strong protection
state, and the campaign this year
will be fought on the tariff issue
largely. The contest will be be-
tween the Republicans and the Dem
ocrats, in my judgment"

Literary note in Lawrence Ca

read one of Harold Bell Wright's

other book SO far this century, which
indicates that the people have more
leisure this century than ever be-

more literary hog wash than ever

This Is the way the Kansas City
Star puts it: Furthermore, II some

Arthur Capper for the Republican

case-hardened old reactionary as
Brewer of Abilene-there is no rea-
son to believe Mr.. Capper wouldn't
have shared the fate of Bristow."
Well, Brewer got within 1000 votes
as many as Curtis who was nominal
ed, which was some running-and
there are a lot of folks up in this
neck of the woods who think he
would make mighty good timber for
governor.

or three men to serve their own
ends and it did not represent the
real Republican ideas of Kansas.
This year there will be some men
in the council who will have some
thing to say and propose to say 1t.
There should be short, definite
statement of principles and without
any nonsense or straddling and then
the party can go into the fight and
win. If the Roosevelt platform OF
1912, the Ocala platform of 1896
and a few other back number mag

head and Curtis in the party coun-
Gil we expect to see real Republi'

REV. ALLEN TELLS HOW
no EMPTY THE PRISONS

Some of the reasons why the walls
of the state penitentiary at Lansing
now surround 500 prisoners and
of this condition were
told by the Rev. Harmon Allen
chaplain Of the institution. to large
assemblage at the union meeting In
the city park last evening. Eacn
week sees new prisoners brought
there, men and women who started
wrong, and who broke states laws
The tragedy OF those lives Rev. Al
len pictured in an interesting and
vivid manner. He pleaded with MS
listeners to check causes OF crime
that they spend money to stop
young men, and young women, too'
from starting on the road to the
penitentiary, rather than pay their
money toward the support OF penal
institutions when criminals land be-
hind prison walls. /
would you keep you boy out OF
the penitentiary?" asked Rev. Al
len. "What should you fathers and
mothers do? First of all, make your
boy obey. Those people down there
in the penitentiary do not know the
meaning of the word obedience.
They were not made to obey when
thew were young, and they kept on
having their own sweet way until
thew broke the laws Of state. Then
YOU know what happened. The boy
who won't obey at home is on the
road to trouble" Rev. Allen Is not
pessimist, and he did not assert
that the entire youth Of the state
is growing worse and on the road
to Lansing, but he sketched incidents
IN the lives of prisoners, as they are
told to him when men and women
for the first time reach Lansing ana
behind the four walls of the prison
are brought to realization OF their
positions, which showed the mistakes
these prisoners made in early lite'
Keep your boy out of the gang
said the prison chaplain. Young
men get to trailing with the bunch"
and that is dangerous. The best way
to aid the young fellows is to smash
the devils traps, said the speaker
Get after the men, If there are any,
who are selling liquor in your town.
eighty per cent of the men and
women in the penitentiary now point
to liquor as main reason why they
are there. OF the 500 inmates 20
per cent have never been church
members and many never had any
thing to do with the church.
Rev. Allen told of the dire effect
of drug habits, and the number Oh
men and women sent to states pri-
son because of acts committed while
under the influence of powerful
drugs.
The chaplain urged the care OF
the defective child while in school,
and proper privision for homeless
children. These two classes are very
likely to find their way to prison
unless they are properly looked at
ter. the chaplain reminded his hear
ers.
The speaker held the attention OF
his audience closely. A chorus sang
and the Christian church glee clun
gave one selection.

Just before the European war
cloud burst, there were reports from
the middle west of great political
activity by ex-senator Beveridge, He
was addressing audiences in llli-
nois. Then came the war, and news
from Illinois suffered an eclipse.
But it now appears that there was
a. special election for judge in the
Sixth judicial district, the returns
from which have at length been
complied. They are rather interest
ing. The once triumphant G. 0. r.
was rent in twain in this district In
1912. the vote being 1000 for
Taft and 10 900 for Roosevelt, which
let Wilson walk away with 1t with
$4,000 votes. At the recent election,
after a vigorous campaign by BeV-
eridge and Medill Mccormick, who
toured the district in special train
and poured out the Walls Of Progress
sive wrath upon Cannon, ex-Repre-
sentative Mckinley, and other we'll

nominee polled 5000 votes, the Dem
