WEALTH IN KANSAS CLAY
Newly Discovered Material Makes
Fine Pottery and Terra Gotta,
Says University Expert

There will never be a tombstone
trust if experiments in Kansas clay
being made at the clay testing labora-
tory of the University of Kansas prove
successful.
For four years University experts
have been studying Kansas clays with
view to finding what they are best
suited for and to adapt them to COM
mercial uses besides the making Of
bricks and sewer pipes.
Paul Teetor, director of the clay
laboratory, recently found some pot
terry clay of very high quality near
Ellsworth and has turned out samples
of pottery with beautiful color and
smooth finish. The towns of Concor.
dia, Minneapolis, Brookville. Salina
and others as far as Hoisington on
the south are believed to lie in val
liable clay-belt extending diagonally
across Kansas
Prof. w. A. Griffith, under whose di-
rection the pottery was made. is OF
the opinion that Kansas clay will
make good tombstones.
''The best relics we have of ancient
Persia and Babylon are examples OF
the ceramic art declared Professor
Griffith. Pottery that is well glazed
is as lasting as granite and more dura-
BILE than terra Gotta 1t is vitrifed
and impervious to all climatic condi-
tons.
1T is possible, therefore, to mold
clay tombstones in any design, burn
them and they will stand forever. Or
binary tombstones at present cost
from $500 to $500; but tombstones of
great beauty and lasting quality could
be made from Kansas clay very cheap

Party Not Fitted for Power.

When the Democrats succeeded to
the control of national affairs there
was surplus in the treasury which
they have cut down by $4,000, 900.
Notwithstanding a huge increase of
expenditures, receipts. especially from
customs. are falling off at a rate that
suggests the possibility of need with
in the next nine months of raising
money by the sale of bonds for the
purpose of eking out the amount re-
Quired to run the government. indie
pendently of the question of protec-
ton, the Democrats showed poor
judgment in cutting down the tariff,
for it now appears there is danger of
Of deficit in the treasury. They es-
timated that their income tax law
would yield from eighty millions to a
hundred millions a year. Current cal
culations are that it will produce not
more than forty millions to seventy
millions. 1t is long time since the
Democratic party was the party Of
great fnanciers.

The Recall In Colorado.

What have the initiative and refer
endum and the recall done for Colo
RADIO? Judge Ben B. Lindsey says:
Colorado has perfected the science
of corrupting men. Its judges, its
supreme court judges, are owned like
office boys. Its lawyers, its business
men are all owned" Judge Lindsey
does not. of course, admit that the in
itiative and referendum and the recall
are responsible for the conditions he
has described, but Judge Lindsey Is
a prominent member of the political
party which prescribes these instru-
ments of popular government as a
cure-a11 for every kind of social and
political i'll. and he does not explain
why they have failed to accomplish
their purpose in Colorado.-Spring-

RUSS HALL BURNS
Lightning Strikes Main Building
of State Normal School
at Pittsburg.
LIVE WIRE KILLS TEACHER
Principal Tanner of Weir High School
Dies From Electric Shock
Loss is $150,ooo.

Russ Hall, the main building of the
Pfttsburg State Normal, has been de-
stroyed by fire. Rex r. Tanner OF
Erie, principal of the Weir high
school, and student at the summer
session of the normal, was killed by
a live wire near the burning build
ing. Four other men were injured
slightly.
The building cost 100000 and the
equipment $4,000. The building was
occupied early in 1908. In addition to
the total loss of the building and the
equipment, including laboratories and
the normal library, several members
of the faculty lost their private IL
braries. Origin of the fire is in doubt.
1t is believed that lightning struck
the building, entering on an electric
wire. A severe electrical storm was
raging when the fire was discovered.
Arrangements Immediately were
made by W. A Brandenburg, presi-
dent of the normal, to provide build
ings downtown for accommodation of
the 1880 students at the summer ses-
sion. Meetings of the faculty and of
the students were called for o'clock
the same morning. Public school
buildings will be used to carry on the
work. The summer session is SEIZED
uled to run eight weeks. 1t has been
in session three weeks.
Tanner was one of the brightest stu
dents the Normal ever had, gradual
ing two years ago. He had partici-
pated in all school activities and was
the schools cheer leader. For the
last two years he had been principal
of the Weir High School and had in
tended returning to the position this
fall with a bride. Miss Hattie Farm
er of Erie, childhood sweetheart, his
fiancee, also is a student at the sum
mer session and was with Mr.. Tanner
in the regular course at the school
She was Frustrated when told of the
tragedy, which occurred a short dis
lance from where she had been watch

TARIFF A FAILURE
Its Supporters Unable to Refute
Stern Facts.
With the country's Business Par
aIyxed, and Prices Of Necessaries
Not Lowered, the Ordinary Citi-
zen May Well Wonder.

The revised tariff has been In force
for year, or nearly SO. and no
American table at breakfast, lunch,
dinner or supper has seen an egg, a
beefsteak, q chop, a slice of bread, a
bit Of butter, or any other edible or
potable thing sold at fraction of q
cent cheaper than under the high
tariff.
The putting of raw material on the
free list came with promise to stimu-
late American industries by import
ing this from abroad, and this other
false prophecy has not been fulfilled
in single instance. American bust
ness has been stagnant all over the
country in spite of plenty of money.
good crops, and every other stimulus
that might be given to business. In
ports and exports are both smaller
and dwindling lower and lower.
And this has always been so,
Whenever American industries have
been protected they have prospered.
Whenever the American people have
been generally employed at good
wages they have bought domestic and
foreign goods and kept the wheels
turning at home and abroad. America
is one of the most populous countries
in the world, its people spend
more than any other people in
the world, and when they prosper all
the world prospers with them, and
when depression hits our shores 1t
spreads like the plague In eyer-widen-
ing circles until it embraces the world.

CLAIMS FATHERS ESTATE
Attorney for Forgotten Son Checks
Settlement of Dead Neodesha
Mans Affairs.

Settlement by partition of the estate
of Dugald Stewart, who died at his
home at Neodesha February 4, 1913,
leaving property valued at $4,000. was
checked in probate court at Fredonia
by the appearance of a son through
his attorney.
Stewart came to Neodesha forty
five years ago. short time after he
was joined by a sister, Kate, who kept
house for him. She was his constant
companion until her death on January
%, 1913. The Stewards were success
full in business ard accumulated coil
siderable property. Dugald was never
supposed to have been married, but in
his will he gave $50 to James Alexan-'
der Stewart, and the balance of his
property was to be equally divided be-
tween his sister Kate and his brother
James.
1t now develops that Dugald was
married in 1871 to Susannah Campbell
Morrison at, Glasgow, Scotland, and
afterward was divorced. James Alex
ander Stewart claims to be a son born
to the union in 1872.

TO SHAKE UP KANSAS COURT
Mrs. Lizzie Sheldon of Lawrence An
nounces Her Candidacy for State
Supreme Bench.


Topeka recently filing her nomination
papers, is a candidate for justice of
the supreme court on the platform
that a "shakeup" is needed in that
body
When justices are on the bench too
long they become weaned from the
people," she said "They also come
to look at the law from a different
viewpoint from that of the practic-
ing lawyer"
Mre. Sheldon approves the move
ment started recently by Kansas at
torneys to make the supreme court
reduce it's opinions to a more intel
ligible basis.
Mrs. Sheldon has been a member Of
the Lawrence bar since 1900. She was
graduated from the Kansas University
law school in that year and admitted
to the practice before the supreme
court, where she has had several
cases. The names of her nominating
petitions were gathered by friends
over the state. Mrs. Sheldon's only
expense in the campaign for nomina-
ton was $1.25 for 500 cards.
