MAJ. HARvEY'S SPEECH
Candidate for Senator Made Great
Plea for Harmony.

Major A. NJ. Harvey's first political
speech of the campaign was delivered
Saturday night when he spoke at
Eighth avenue and Jackson street for
Arthur Capper and urged the Progress
sives of the state to return to the Re-
publican fold. The well known To-
peka lawyer and candidate for nomi-
nation for United States senator, dis
cussed many of the issues before the
voters in the campaign and declared
that the purpose of the Progressive
party was an idle effort in the wrong
direction.
In his speech. Major Harvey de-
nounced the Democratic tariff pro-
gram and said he hoped the Republic
cans in Kansas would declare for a
protective tariff. He characterized
the Democratic national platform of
1912 as striking example of the
hodge-podge. irresponsible documents
often put out as political platforms. 1t
seems to have been written by tired,
sleepy men who were swapping Sug-
gestions one with the other and not
really thinking out any of them" said
Major Harvey. The Topeka lawyer
endorsed the action of the Republican
state committee in its stand on the
initiative and referendum, advocated a
minimum wage and humanitarian
laws.
While Major Harvey's speech was
in the interest Of Arthur Capper's
gubernatoria1 candidacy. nothing
which was said was at all binding on
Mr.. Capper.
1T want it distinctly understood that
ing public questions are made on my
own personal responsibility" said
Major Harvey, land are not given as
the views of Mr.. Capper nor any other
member of our party"
Discussing the need OF harmony be-
tween the Republicans and Progress
sives that the Republicans might win
in the November election, Major Har-
vey said:
ANY group of men or party of men
who undertake to perform some great
service are wise and successful only
when they understand and anaIyze the
efforts and achievements OF others
who have struggled along the same
line and then. holding fast to the good
and conserving it to the last hour,
press forward to the accomplishment
of their design. 1t is true that con-
servation and progress often work to-
gether apparently as resultant forces
one pulling against the other, but IN
reality they are struggling for the
same end.
There Is Force Only In Unity.

er will contain some who are more
venturesome than others and more de-
sirous of change. while others VIII

Policewoman Says Spring Has Bad
Effect ON Husbands.

Harmonizing domestic difficulties has
taken up much Of the time of Miss
Eva Corning, policewoman, during the
past month.
Something seems to have gotten into
the veins of the husbands this month. -
said Miss Corning as she handed her
monthly report to Mayor Cofran today.
Il think the season has affected the
husbands Of the city and in this one
OF the wives who complained to me

passed through the month Of March
with my husband, think everything
will be all right said one woman
whose husband had been induced to
return to her. am satisfied that
spring fever, wunderlust and foot itch
is epidemic among husbands just now
and they are dissatisfied and cross, and
1 believe the time Of the year is re-
sponsible. With the passing of sprine
they will be more contented. Many wo-
men sent me after their husbands last
month and got half Of them back for
them"

CANTATA AT PLAINvMLE.
Mrs, Anna FOltx Trained Chorus.
Formerly Lived in Topeka.

PlainviIle, Kan. April 20.-The Eas-
ter cantata rendered in the Christian
church was the most classical ever given
in our city. This was given under the
direction OF Mrs. Anna Foltz, who was
a resident of Topeka for eight years
and was close student Of Mrs. Park
hurst OF Topeka, and Edward Brigham
of New York city. Mrs. Foltz is now
a resident of Plafnville and Is the di-
rector Of music in the public schools.
This was the sixth Easter cantata un-
der the direction of Mrs. Foltx. This
time she used IS voices and all have
been trained under her direction. The
special parts were rendered In the most
skillful manner. A travelling man in
attendance said he had attended must
Gals in Des Moines, Chicago and st.
Louis that were considered classical
but that ours outclassed any of them.
He considers Mrs. Foltx superior az a
leader and a soloist to any he ever
heard.

LONGER HOURS.
But They win Get Term Short
ened for Reward.

Men working in the Irvine plant at
the Lansing state penitentiary win for
the next 100 days work Ii hours q day.
but for this extra effort will receive a
reduction of 100 days in their prison
sentence. The new plan will be -5orked
Monday morning and about Is men will
work practically double shift until
the present supply OF stsal is exhaust
ed and the orders from Kansas farm
ers for manufactured Irvine have been
filled.
Recently the prison board considered
bringing 100 boys from the reformatory
at Hutchinson and using them in the
Irvine plant in order to handle the ex-
ira work. Had this plan been adopted.
only such boys as volunteered theil
services would have been taken to
Lansing and they would have received
extra prison credit for this work. They
would have also been kept in separate
cell blocks from the regular peniten-
tiary inmates. The plan, however, was
abandoned by the prison board when
the men regularly used In the Irvine
plant agreed to work on the double
shift in consideration of a reduction OF
their prison terms.
1t is impossible at this time Of the
year to take extra men from Other
prison work The force In the mines
must supply coal for next winters use
in the state institutions and the men
on the penitentiary farm are needed in
their regular work at this season OF
the year. The prison brick plant il
also working overtime and the re.
sponsibility Of increasing the Irvine
plant output fell upon the shoulders
of the regular workers in that depart
ment.
The work of the men employed II
the Irvine plant is not heavy and al
OF the men are said to have willingly
consented to the extra hours service
in view of the 100 days credit reward
The men in the Irvine plant will begin
work at in the morning. receive ar
hour at II o'clock for luncheon and
recreation and another hour OF at I
o'clock for supper and recreation
period. Meals for these men will be
improved and other favors extended
under the order of the state pena
board.

MODERN JERUSALEM.
Very Different From the Ancient City
In It's Oriental Setting.


In lts Oriental Setting.
Probably no modern city IL more dis.
appointing to the expectant traveller
than Is Jerusalem. We think Of 1t in
its ancient glory. We picture to our i'm.
agination the magnificent temple with
its golden roof and the other great
buildings Of the hill Of Zion. We read
Of its being the rendezvous in passover
times of million pilgrims. and we
naturally think Of 1t us an enormous
city. comparable to London or New
York Of the present day. We think
Of It in its oriental setting Of 1000
years ago. but as we approach in a
modern railway train and climb the
steep ascent which leads to the city
behind an American engine our illusion
disappears.
At last the guard calls out "Jerusa.
lemv and we disembark a mile from
the city. get into rickety modern hack.
which has evidently done duty in some
more civilized community. and are
bounced over the rough roads and the
intolerable cobblestones within the
gates, until at last we are landed at
our modern hotel. so different from the
khan Of ancient times.
And here our disillusion has only be-
gun. The city Of which we read as
accommodating 100000 guests on the
feast day could hardly today entertain
1000 strangers within its walls. and
since n multitude Of pilgrims come
every year from Russia and Italy and
France and Germany. these nations
have erected great hotels outside the
walls for the accommodation Of pill
grims.
But these. fine and even magnificent
as they are, take us not back to the
Jerusalem Of 1000 years ago, but tell
US only Of the modern city. where half
dozen great nations are building
these hotels and hospitals in order to
gain political and commercial advan.

when they can GUST from his posses.
