"vOTE FOR DAD"
Unusual Campaign That Is Being Made
In Kansas.

Unusual SdUlpdi9T lHdt 10 oSiHS "aaS
In Kansas.
4 strange political campaign is be-
ing carried on throughout Kansas by
Mrs. Irma oster-Farnsworth and
Mrs. Chase Doster, says a Topeka let
ter.
When ChiCf Justice Frank Doster,
of the Kansas supreme court, decided
to run for the Democratic nomination
for the United States senate, his
daughter and daughter-inlaw were
his first enthusiastic supporters. The
idea of using their musical ability in
his political race originated with them
and was we'll under way before their
father knew of it. Their method is
to give an open-air concert interspers-
ed with two-minute political speeches.
I'VE are not travelling in the inter-
ests of a cure-all for humanity's ply
sical Ills" she tells the deniZens of
each town. But we are interested in
all political ills, and have come to you
in the interest of our father, Judge
Frank DOster, of Topeka. He is known
To most of you. You stood by him in
the old Populist days and elected him
chief justice Of the supreme court of
Kansas. He is counting on you to
stand by him now, for United States
senator.
1T is impossible for him to reach
all parts of the state, and he regrets
that he cannot be here himself and
talk to you. l told you we were in
terested in political remedies. That is
a subject which has always been first
in Judge Doster's mind.
You will remember how some
years ago his political doctrines were
but all the ideas he then advanced are
now incorporated in the platforms OF
nearly all political parties and that
many of them have already been en-
know he is an advanced political
thinker. But there is one thing that
Judge Frank Doster cannot do and
that is to sing his own praises, so we,
his two, daughters, have come to do 1t
for him. 1t is such a thoughtful far
seeing man. one with the sound po-
litical judgment which Judge Doster
has shown himself to have been, whom
Kansans want to represent them in
the United States senate. SO please
vote for Dad"
The programme continues and at
the close Mrs. Doster- Farnsworth
makes Il speech confirming her sisters
reasons why Dad" should go to the
senate and announces that literature
concerning Judge Dostcr's candidacy
will now be distributed.
The two boys pass out Doster po-
litical literature and are glad to have
the fun of being part of the excite
ment.

out the state by the two feminine
ampaigners, is here shown.

PERSONS ARE FOUND
TO HAVE HOOKWORMS
Experts are Conducting Examina
ti0ns-Much In krest Is Taken
In Work.

Out of fifty examinations made yes
terday for hookworms by DR.. T. M
Fly and assistant, who is in this
county representing the state, and the
Rockefeller Hookworm Commission
there were found seven cases, and
two cases of dwarfed tape worms. OF
the cases found, three were of per-
sons who live in this city. The others
reside in the county.
While there was time taken up with
the examination, physicians used u
some time in receiving calls from
quite a number Of people who came
to learn of the method of treatment
administered. There has been much
interest manifested and it is believed
that there will be thorough interest
over the county before the work is
completed. The physicians say that
it is no disgrace to be affected with
hookworms and that such is but the
natural outcome of a condition, and
the only thing for person to do is to
eradicate. They are showing how.

I'VE, therefore, urge your co-opera-

the Augusta exchange as follows:
your invitation to meet in May re-
ceived and will be duly acted on. Our
exchange will be satisfied with moth

mems Compensation Commission in the exempt
class against the protests of civil service ndvo-
Gates the Civil Service Commission has again
playcd into the hands Of political job-grabbers.
There is why any OF these places should

assistant deputy commissioners at $500 a
year are undoubtedly mere clerks or Office orna-
ments fixed out with fancy titles. and the exam
liner of insurance policies at $500 year can't
have any great amount of special technical train
ing or he wouldn't be obtainable at that price.
No assistant cashier should be exempted, and there
is much question whether even an inspector Of
risks and safety engineer could not be chosen
better after examination.
The Civil Service Commission is consistent in
granting these exemptions. however 1t already
had record of turning over to the job-grabbers
every place where there any shadow Of excuse
within the law for doing it. The Civil Service
Reform Association charges fatty that in some CT

letter and the spirit OF the law. This last action
will not improve its record any.

AN ASSOCIATION CT CREEDS
Jews, Catholics, Protestants, Buddh-

Sir: The Religious Education Asso-
citation is probably the only religious
organization in the world in which all
creeds and faiths meet on a common
platform Jews, Catholics, Protestants,
Buddhsts or whatever they may be
This association has headquarters in
Chicago and members in every land.
Much criticism has been poured on the
organization for its liberality, but re-
cent press dispatches have called its
catholicity into question, stating that
Rabbi Wise, of New York, has asserted
in public that Jews were excluded from
it's work. In reply, the general secre-
tary, DR.. Henry +. Cope, insists that all
persons are treated without conscious
ness of their faith. He offers the sim
pie statement of facts that no fewer
than six Jewish rabbis have given prin-
cipal addresses at the annual conven-
tions of the association in the last six
years, Rabbs Moses J. Cries, David
Phillipson, Emil G. Hirsch, Louis
Grossman. Maurice Lowenthal and Ste
phen S. Wise; many prominent Jews
have participated in other programmes;
large number are found in the asso-
cations membership, and for the last
four years they have been represented
on the executive board, while numer-
Gus other Offices have been rendered to
members of the Jewish faith.

Tariff Revision and Party Disaster.

..Tbe New York Times is trying TO persuade
itself that there is truth in the axiom that
revision of the tariff leads to the defeat OF the
party revising it. There is no logical or necessary
association between tariff revisons and swift fol-
lowing party reverses. But experience has estao-
ljsbed q very close connection between them.
There have been five big tariff revisions since
the war The Republicans lost control of the
House of Representatives after passing the tarin
acts OF 1882 1890 and 1909. The Democrats lost
the House after passing the tariff act OF 1894. In
only one instance has revision not led to party
disaster. The Republicans revised the tariff IN
1897 and retained control Of the House of Repre-
sentatives in 1898 by narrow margin But the
Spanish war had interviewed and the chief issue in
the campaign OF 1898 not the tariff, but 'im-
perialism"
This fall the axiom will have another try-out.
It's Knockout percentage far is 800, and accord
ing 10 past performances the odds against the
Wilson administration four to one. In the
present temper Of the country these odds fairly
justified. The tariff revision Of 1913 has not
helped the consumer and has hit many producers
hard. There is no good reason why 1t should not
carry the Democratic party down to defeat.

PRAYER and the Laws of Nature.

In Hopkinsyie Ky, the other day a union
service Of all the Christian churches was held 10
pray for rain, which was badly needed IN thal
part Of the state Such petitions are wholy III
accord with the traditional belief Of the churches
and until recently no good Christian would nave
thought OF questioning their efficacy.
Az 70 the specific case of rain 1t is, indeed the
teaching OF the Episcopal Church that God sends
too much rain or withhods 1t altogether In order
to punish the people for their sins. In the prayer
for fair weather the Deity Is asked to RESTRAIN
those immoderate rains wherewith for our sins
Thou has afflicted u.s. And In another prayer,
dearth ami famine, caused by lack Of rain, are
declared to be due to the sins of the people
Many Christians today, however are not quite
prepared to admit the connection Of the weather
with the sins and shortcomings Of the people III
the locality affected. And yet they are not ready
to give up the of such prayers. They would
admit that our larger and cleare. knowledge OF the
laws OF nature has made these prayers archaic as
to their wording and form, but that they are
nevertheless helpful because they put the petition
er In harmonious relations with the Infinite. In
other words, even II a prayer for rain or fair
weather cannot be literally answered, the faith
which prompts It IL OF immense value to the pc
ttIoner
But II II quite conceivable that all prayers which
involve a break In the chain Of cause and effect
on which the laws Of nature depend Will come 30

are the expression. We are Earnings to do things
