CAMPBELL--ANTHONY.
Their Position on Wilson Resolution
Explained.

The Leavenworth Times of today
prints editorially an explanation of
the position taken by Congressn: en-
Anthony and Campbell in the Mexican
day. 1t is asserted in this editorial
that Anthony and Campbell were
against the attitude OF the United
States in declaring war against l3uerta
as an individual and against the risk
Of recognizing Huerta as the head of
the Mexican nation. -
The editorial reads IN part:
ut will readily be seen that the
resolution was aimed at an individual,
Victoriano Huerta. whom this gov
eminent has never recognized as pres
ident of the Mexican republic. The
resolution recites that the president Ct
the United States is justified IN using
the forces of the United States to en-
force his demands upon this individ-
ual. Had this resolution passed both
houses it would have placed this great
government in the position ct going to
war with an individual y, Nations do
not war with individuals. This alb
surd resolution was opposed by Con-
gresham Mann. the Republican lead
er, Congressman Campbell. Anthony,
and thirty-four other members OF the
house, among them being some Demo
Gratis and Progressives.
THE absurdity of this resolution
became apparent 10 ADMINISTRATOR
supporters before it reached the SEN
ate and the foreign affairs committee
Of that body, under the control OF
President Wilson'S supporters and
with his consent, rejected the house
resolution and reported the following
substitute:
1.-THE logic Of events showed that
those who voted against the house
resolution were right. They were
willing to support the president in
maintaining American rights but TN
willing to place the country in the
light of declaring war against an in

So the hearts of Fifth district Repub-

tOrial in his Abilene Reflector. Charles
N. Harger said:
Billy Morgan Is one Of the most
likable men in Kansas and has host
of friends. His nomination would give
the Seventh district four places on
the Republican state ticket while the
Fifth district will have none. That is
why Brewers nomination is the logi-
cal thing to do. Besides harmony
should not be so one-sided that stead
fast Republican like j. E. Brewer
should be forced of the ticket. The
Fifth district will make it's fight for a

TAKE TIME TO DRESS HAIR
Arrangement Of the Couture Means eV'
erythIns Where the Ensemble
Is Considered.

AS most women know, the manner
in which the hair is dressed is Of vital
importance in the question Of produc-
ing fashionable or unfashionable ap-
pearance. Indeed. nothing so spoils
the effect of a smart gown and hat as
badly arranged tresses, whils on the
other hand the plainest of plain frocks
or a simple blouse and skirt can look
perfectly up-to-date II the wearers
head be well dressed in the prevail
ing style Of the moment.
Hairdressing is one Of the items Of
dress in which fashion DEGREES change
more rapidly than anything else. The
curls of one month are taboo the
next; the chignon of one season Is re-
placed by plaits the season following:
fringes come and go, straight or curly.
and waves are large or small But
whichever it is, unfortunate woman
kind no sooner has become accus-
toned to one way of fixing up her
locks than it must be changed and a
new one instituted that may or may
not suit the particular caste of coun-
tenance, according to individual luck.
Young girls have the advantage over
older women in the fact that their
youth makes it possible for them to
wear almost any style successfully
provided certain soft waves can be left
around the face and the general out
line that is most becoming can be
continued. The older woman finds 1t
much more difficult to change her Golf
fure whenever the dictates of fashion
demand.
This year the style of hairdressing
in vogue is fortunately likely to suit
the many rather than, as is so often
the case, only lucky few, the large
soft waves and rolled up twist at the
back of the head being on the whole
| far more becoming than the severe
chignon or square-cut fringe Of little
while ago.
Seen recently were three charming
examples that the hairdressers are
using extensively. Fringes are being
entirely done away with, but in their
place are arranged loose waves that
| fall on each side of the forehead and
well over the ears. In fact, for the
coiffure TO be entirely fashionable the
ears should be hidden altogether. but
this line does not suit the contours OF
all faces.

The "Eun-Sun" Box.

In home where there are three
children, the problem of amusement
on rainy days was to be considered.
A large box was covered with green
denim, and the words "F'u,-Sun" stem
ciled on it. This was placed in the
nursery. Into this box went rejuve-
mated toys, pictures. anything thrown
aside and mended, or unusual scraps.
From time to time the children them
selves bought from their allowances
some little thing for the box. 1t was
opened only on rainy days or in i'll
ness. Last year their father added
three jig-saws and several strips OF
thin board. 1t is a treat for the chill
dren to open this box, for there are
always some new things in it. Now
rainy days have no terror for the chill
dren, who turn contentedly to the
