HOW SUNDAY TELLS IT

The haseball evangelist, Billy sun
day. has many defenders as well as
many critics. Mr.. Bryan regards MN
as a remarkable preacher. and many
Of the preachers Of the evangelical
chi relics hold him in high regard
pr, forrinr TO Judge him by results
rather than by methods or language.
There Is nothing very solemn about
SUNDAY. he has his own way OF ten
ing things and he uses the vernacu'
lar of the tough and vulgar when be
chooses. We are indebted TO the Col
umbia Record for the quotation show

story Of David and Goliath, one oi

water which when its mate is com
pleted will form a snug harbor, we
could see w in this early light evil
dence of unusual enterprise for these
ATTITUDES. Heretofore in our travels
everything had been suggestive of age.
The style of architecture, the manner
of doing things, whether in harbor or
on shore was all suggestive of ancient
customs and foreign methods. Here
for the first time since leaving New
York were seen the diamond sparkle
Of arc lamps. The city of Colon was
lit by gas but farther up the canal en-.
trance the city of Gatun showed un.
mistakably American in the very way
they lit their streets.
Colon, at one time the despair of the
health department of the canal com
mission has managed to pull herself
together and nov presents a fairly
decent appearance. Only four feet
above sea level the problem of drain
age and cleanliness is a serious mat
ter. However ten years of American
occupancy has made a wonderful
change in the city. The swamps at
the back of the city have been filled
up and the streets have been cleaned
and on the whole it is not such a bad
place.
l might as well begin at the begin
ming with the statement that the canal
Is finished.

spoil the taste Of good meat"
For days they travelled north. some
times finding food in plenty and again
going hungry for days.
They saw no signs of natives. MOI
were they molested by wild beasts.
Their journey was q miracle of ease
Tarzan asked questions and learned
rapidly. D'Arnot taught him many of
the refinements of civilization. even to
the use of knife and fork. but some
times Tarzan would drop them In dis
gust and grasp his food in his strong
brown hands, tearing it with his mo-
lars like a wild beast.
Then D'Arnot would expostulate
with him, saying:
You must not eat like q brute. Tar
zan. while | am trying to make a gen
tleman Of you"
On the journey he told D'Arnot about
the great chest he had seer the sailors
bury and how he had dug it up and
carried 1t to the gathering place Of the
apes and buried it there.
1T must be the treasure chest of
Professor Porter" said D'Arnot. 1T
Is too bad. but. Of course. you did not
know"
Then Tarzan recalled the letter writ
ten by Jane Porter to her friend. the
one he had stolen when they first came
to his cabin. and now he knew what
was in the chest and what it meant to
Jane Porter.
Tomorrow we shall go back after
it." he announced to D'Arnot. You

claimed D'Arnot. 1--WE shall go on to-

there we will charter a boat and sail

What do you think of that plan:"

that you are not alone on the trail
In one of his talks with D'Arnot Tar
Fan mentioned Kala, his ape mother
Then you knew your mother, Tar
zan?" asked D'Arnot in surprise.
Yes. She was a great. fine ape,
larger than l and weighing twice as
much"
And you also knew your father?'
asked D'Arnot.
Il did not know him. Kala told me
he was & white ape and hairless like
myself. l know now that he must
have been a white man.
D'Arnot looked long and earnestly
at his companion.
"Tarzan,' he said at length, lit Is
impossible that the ape, Kala. was
your mother. You are pure man and,
should say, the offspring of highly
bred and intelligent parents. Have you
not the slightest clew to your pastf"
Not the slightest" replied Tarzan.
NO writing in the cabin that might
have told something of the lives of its
original inmates?"
Il have read everything that was
in the cabin with the exception Of one
book. which l know now to be written
in a language other than English. Pos
sibly you can read it."
Tarzan fished the little black diary
from the bottom Of his culver and
handed it to his companion.
D'Arnot glanced at the title page.
ut is the diary of John Clayton.

and it is written in French" he said.
D'Arnot read it aloud. Occasionally
his voice broke, and he was forced to
stop reading for the hopelessness that
spoke between the lines.
Often he glanced at Tarzan, but the
ape man sat upon his launches like a
carven image, his eyes fixed upon the
ground.

The Sand Royalty Law

The validity of the sand roy
atty law passed by the 1913 leg
islature was upheld in the opin'
ion handed down by the state
supreme court. A test of its
constitutionality with regard tc
the United States constitution
still is pending in the federal
courts.
The law provides for tax or
royalty to be paid the state on all
sand taken from the beds of nav
igable streams in Kansas for
for com mmerciai purposes. 1t
was argued by the numerous
sand companies in the case
brought by Attorney General
Dawson against Earl Akers.
state treasurer, TO test the con-
stitutionality Of the act, that the
sand in the streams was natur-
al product over which the state
had no control; that person had
as much right to take sand, as far
as the state is concerned, as he
has to shoot migratory birds.
The state has been collecting
the money, under protest, from
prac tically all the companies in
the state except those that have
appealed to the federal court.
Nearly $4,000 has been collect
ed, but none has been used pend
ing the decision of the court on
validity of the act.
The court held that the United
States gave to Kansas the con-
troll or title to the waters and
bedsof nayigable streams. The
government recognized by its
survey that the Arkansas River
almost to the Colorado Line, the
Kaw and Smoky Hill as far west
as Abilene, were navigable.
The court also held that some
minor discrepancies in the rec
ord Of the bill in the legislature
did not affect its yalidity.-To-
