THE STATE SOLDIERS HOME.

| Kansas is great state in many re-
spects. a rich state, too, and one thai
spends money rather Iavishly in sew
eral directions. Let the cattle get the
foot and mouth disease and all the
money needed, no matter how big the
sum may be, is available instanter
Solicitous care is showered on the
hogs that become afflicted with the
cholera. Expensive state departments
are maintained to guard zealously the
welfare of the four-footed animals of
the state. Kansas is also generous in
some respects in the care of her de-
pendents, particularly the insane. In
stitutions adequate an every way are
provided for their restraint and pos
SibIe cure. Kansas is doing more and
more all the time to better the con-
dition even of the convicts in her pen
itentiary, the offenders against her
laws. And expensive state departments
are also maintained to manage these
and kindred activities. But where
Kansas seems to be as small as she
is great in many ways is in the con-
duct of the home at Dodge City that
is supposed TIC be n comfortable ref
uge for such old soldiers and their
wives who have no other way to turn
for the aid they need to keep body and
soul together until their time to an
swer the last call shall come. Condi-
lions there apparently became so in
tolerable that rs of the inmates joined
in a public protest against them. And
the only official answer that this has
received is an order from the Com
mander of the home to the effect that
inmates who circulate petitions in the
future in any form without the con-
sent of said Commander will be pun
ished with dishonorable discharges
from the institution. This smacks of
observation-disclosures that should have
no place in the management of any of
the affairs OF the state of Kansas. If
the great state of Kansas cannot set
aside a sufficient sum of money to
make this institution reasonably COM
Portable in all ways for its inmates, it
should lock the doors of the place and
retire forthwith from the soldiers
home business. If rnismanagement is
at the bottom of the trouble another
mana cement should be provided.
Over and above all, though, the in
mates of this institution are entitled to
as much freedom of speech as any
other citizer.s Of the state. And to en-
deavor to squelch it in an arbitrary
manner would seem to be a confession
that the protests of the inmates about
the undesirable conditions that sur
round them are well-founded. The
of the conditions at the
home by the officers of the Kansas
department of the G. A. r. is timely.

testify at this investigation is no moro

OVERCOMING sENsrrIvENEss.

Hawthorne was one of the shyest
men that ever lived, writes DR.. Orison
SWEET Marden, in the Pictorial Review
for December. He used to walk the
streets with his eyes on the ground to
avoid recognizing others, and if he
saw any one he knew he would cross
the street to escape the embarrass-
ment of a meeting. Later III life, he
said God would forgive sins, but awk-
wardness had no forgiveness in heaven
or on earth. His own imagined awk-
wardness was due to his timidity,
! his morbid self-consciousness. After
spending an evening at Emerson's
house, George William Curtis spoke of
Hawthorne, who had sat silent a
shadow all evening and had scarcely
spoken to any one. Curtis wondered
why no one had looked after him. But
being Cooked after" would only have
made him more miserable. Once,
when making a call, Hawth orne asked
his hostess what he should talk about
and she advised climate" 1t is not
recorded whether he found even this
| topic sufficiently inspiring to tempt
him to break his habitual silence.

pressed for something to say, Haw-
thorne asked him if he had ever been

concluded that a man who would ask
aimless, silly questions of this sort
could not be much of genius.

just because nobody seems able to get
at them, to understand them. They
do not make themselves approachable.
There is something about them that
repels people and yet they feel kindly
toward everybody. They would be

TAKE BREWSTER'SWORD
Coal Miners Will Sign Up for Dyna-
mite in the Future.

Kansas miners will have to sign up
for the dynamite they get to use In the
mines, according to an opinion given
today by S. M. Brewster, attorney gem
eral, and all trouble of strike in the
Usage county district has been
averted.
j. H. Harrigan. president of the
Miners association of Cherokee and
Crawford counties, and Warren Pip
pin, secretary of Pittsburg, KAN
were in Topeka today comforting with
John Pellagrino, state mine inspector
on the question. The trouble arose
over the refusal of some miners who
obtained dynamite from the mine OPP
orators to sign for the explosives. The
law states that when a miner buys
dynamite he must sign for the
amount The miners thought that
this ruling applied only to original
purchases but Attorney General Brew
ster interpreted the law to cover all
consignments of the explosives.
The committee representing the
miners was satisfied with Brewster's
verbal opinion given this morning and
will take back a written opinion from
the attorney general.
About ten days ago a mine strike
was threatened in Usage county over
the question, but this strike has been

TYPHOID FEVER CONTROLLED.

Three years ago the field men of the
Geological Survey, as well as some OF
the office force, took advantage OF the
offer of the War department to supply
official antityphoid serum, and prac-
tically the entire force of men was in
oculated. Since that time, as far as re-
ported, there has been no serious case
of typhoid fever among those inocu-
lated. Two cases of typhoid among
the topographic engineers indicate the
great effectiveness of this incubation.
In both these cases the men simply felt
''off feed for couple or three days
and refused to go on the sick list; in
fact typhoid would not have been sus-
pected in either case except that in one
of them somebody suggested the pos
sibility, and an exhaustive hospital ex-
animation, blood-test, etc, showed that
the engineer had a theoretically we'll,
developed case of typhoid, the practi-
cal results of which, however, failed
to incapacitate him for duty, so that he
did not even go to bed for one day.

Approximately one thousand dollars
is being spent by the city park depart

to wade in. In the winter it will be
used for skating.
In anticipation of weather cold

commissioner of parks, is having col
lected the brush and trimmings of
trees from the various parks. They
are being piled in convenient places
to afford bonfires at Gage and Central

Yes. Let me help you put this

down the hillside through the driving
rain.
When they reached the brock, Hor-

slender. fair youth, with disconnected
blue eyes and a nose that was elevated

when Grace gave him gay greeting.

AUTO RACE MEET
Thrilling Contests VIII Be Seen
at the Fair Grounds.
Noted Drivers VIII Appear
Here Thanksgiving Day.

The amusement feature of Thanks
giving in Topeka will be an afternoon
of thrilling automobile races at the
fair grounds race track by profession
al and amateur drivers.
The events will be under the direc-
ton of c. A. Peterson of Sioux City,
Iowa. who has promoted auto races in
many of the largest cities and has
reputation for putting on high-class
contests. Mr.. Peterson visited Topeka
several days ago and closed a contract
with the State Fair association for the
fair grounds track.
His advance agent, Frank Murphy,
arrived in Topeka today from Fort
Dodge, where he has finished a sue
cessful meet promoted by Peterson.
Murphy, on reaching the city, re-
ceived telegram from Peterson, no.
tifying him of the list of drivers from
whom he has secured entries for the
Topeka meet. These are wild Bill'
Mackerell of Sioux City, Orville Dom
aldson of Des Moines, Jack Shea of
New York, Ed Lauer of Cherokee,
Iowa, and Frank Treneary of Indian
apolis.
Mackerell, with his Chalmers g.
holds the half mile dirt track record
of Iowa, having won it last summer
from Ed Lauer, who had captured it
with a Chevrolet racer. Mackerells
time was minutes and 33 seconds for
the ten mile course.
Treneary has long been a champion
of the southwest over half mile dirt
tracks.
Jack Shea of New York will drive
his big Dusenberg, which was in the
Vanderbilt cup money and with which
he has won races all over the country.
The car he drives was formerly owned
by Bob Burman and Billy Chandler.
Donaldson, in his Emden Special.
was third at the Indianapolis National
automobile races a year ago.
There will be three exciting events
of The day. The first will be 10-mile
elimination contest, and all drivers
are invite to enter, as the elimination
is open to everybody.
The second event will be a 15-mile
contest among cars that finished in
the elimination event.
The third event will be the sweep
stakes, for rs miles, among the fastest
drivers of the other races.
Purses aggregaUing $1,000 have
been hung up. Peterson owns none
of the cars and none of the drivers is
Interested with him in any way. He
merely promotes the tourna ment,
hangs up the purses and conducts the
meeting.
Mr.. Murphy will remain here and
have charge of the arrangements un-
til the races are held.

Although many thinking people in
sist, and rightly it would appear, that
a superabundance of laws is one of
the big evils in this country, it hap
pens that there are no specific laws
under which the federal government
can punish those who may be con-
cerned in the bomb and arson plots
against the munition factories in this
country. Still, there is apparently a
way out, of course, and an effort will
be made to apply the criminal provi-
sions of the much abused, but re-
markably elastic Sherman antitrust
law, against such offenders.
