OUT OF BALANCE
Many Feel That Scales of JUS
tice Need Fixing.
Much Indignation Expressed
Over Suspension of Harmon.

Patrolman George Harmon, against
whom complaint of assault was filed
in the court of Topeka Tuesday after
noon by John F. Travis, was arraigned
before Douglas Graham, clerk, this
morning and the preliminary hearing
of the charges was set for tomorrow
morning at 9 o'clock before Judge
Hugh Fisher.
Travis is employed by local trans
fer company. He claims that Harmon
drew gun on him and ordered him
to get down on his hands and knees and
| crawl and afterwards ordered him to
get up on his toes and walk like a
spider.
Following the complaint Chief Par
sons stated that Harmon would be dis
charged from the force. However, the
patrolman was only suspended pend
ing the outcome of the trial. Harmon
was appointed by the Cofran admin
istration two years ago.
Men prominent in Topeka business,
professional and social circles today
sent up a howl of indignation when
Harmon was suspended for defending
the Sanctity of his own home. Han
non was dropped by Chief Parsons I'M
der orders from Mayor House.
Ye gods! What brand of justice is
House giving uS?" asked George A.
Clark, former secretary of state, who
read today of lannon's dismissal from
service pending investigation" Does
House mean to assert that Harmon
cannot defend the sanctity of his own
home without losing his job? Does
he mean that Harmon was appointed
only to look after the peace and quiet
of his neighbors and cannot enjoy the
privileges of any other citizen simply
because he happens to be peace Of
ficer and wears a uniform? 1 wish
some one would explain this method
of reasoning that means Harmon can
not defend his own home as he would
defend the homes of other Topekans."
Harmon is regarded as one of the
braveSt men on the local force. 1t is
recalled that he was a guard at the
state prison during the Stanley admin
istration and with three other men
went into the prison mine and put
down an instruction that threatened
the lives of prison officials.

Governor Capper Advises
Against Life in Cities.
"FoOlish Girls Fall Prey to the
Lust of Men,"
EIGHT YEARS OF SCHOOLING
That's Enough for Child to
Make Way in World.
Every One Should Be Trained
to Do One Thing Well.

Cherokee. Kan, May 5.-An appeal
to the graduates of the Crawford
farms of Kansas and an emphatic
declaration in favor of vocational
training featured the address of Gov
ernor Arthur Capper of Kansas, at
the commencement exercises here this
afternoon.
Competition is high in the great
cities and living and working condi-
tons far from ideal" the governor
said.
1--WE read in the newspapers day
after day of separations and divorces
and fights in the cities, of arrests for
drunkenness and murders resulting
from drink. We read of poverty in
the SlumS where children swarm, and
of the vulgar display and extravagant
follies Of the rich. We read of the
great need of charity for poverty that
is the result of misfortune or of vice.
We read of strikes and Iockouts, of
the oppression of labor by capital, of
great combinations of wealth to OPP
press the weak and the poor. We see
the foolish girls, both in country and
town, who caught by the glitter of the
city, flock on it's streets, often, very
often to fall prey to the lust of men
who glory in their shame.
When we think OF all this in the
great cities. can we doubt for mo-
ment that the clean, wholesome life
Of the Kansas country folk of the
Kansas country towns is by far the
happieSt, the most useful life? We
must do everything possible to keep
the best brains of the nation where the
best brains originate-on the farm.
They'll not be wasted there"
On Education.
Turning to education the governor
said:
IT hold that it is the right of every
boy and girl in every Kansas COM
munity to have guaranteed to them
some form of education and training
which will contribute to self support.
True education is teaching the youth
to handle himself in every situation
of life especially in emergencies and
to get the most possible out of life.
Pupils come from our schools with
superficial knowledge about lot of
things, but no accurate knowledge
about anything. 1 believe every boy
and girl should be trained in school
to do some one thing superbly well.
We should devote more time to the
common branches and the things in
life that are of Importance to people
who work with their hands,.
after eight years schooling every
parent has a right to expect that the
state has given his child an education
that will enable him to make his way
in the world. When it fails to do this,
as think it does now. it isrsfifne to
remedy the fault or fa1Its a. 80

der the management of Lew Rond.
1t is proposed to give several sub

Mr.. Kelley, land it will receive great
impetus if this free gate proposition
carries"
Lew Bond. manager of the Dover
ball team, was master of ceremonies.

Kelley and also made short talk.

Cascade. Colo, May 5.-Actual con-
struction work commenced today on
the Pixies Peak automobile road
which will be one of Americas most
beautiful scenic drives, being the
highest in the world for this class of
! travel.
William Flick, the Denver contrac-
tor has $50 teams and $50 men at

tai stock is 100000. The company
has been organized with Spencer Pen
rose, A. E. Carlton, William A. Otis,
F. NJ. p. Taylor and E. A. Sunderlin
as directors.
Delay in organizing has been caused
by the opposition of the forest bureau
to granting the right-of-way for
est reserve. This was finally accom-
plished and is the only toll road on a
national forest excepting in the yell
lowstone park.
Twenty carloads of construction ma
chinery for this class of work will ar
rive from California this week. The
road starts from Cascade, and the dis
lance is seventeen miles to the top OF
the famous peak. Camps will be es
tablished at different points along the
route Surveys have been completed
within about four miles from the top.
The recent big SHOWS, immense snow
drifts and intense cold at so high an
altitude have caused delay.
An equipment of twelve modern cars
has been purchased. Relay stations,
lodges and tourist conveniences will be
established. toll will be charged for
automobiles privately owned. Cascade
is in Ute Pass, four and a half miles
from Manitou and eleven miles from

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, May 5.-wHEAT-Bearish crop
reports uickly overcame today in the wheat
market here, an advance due to firmness of
quotations at Liverpool, leading expert
here had issues a statement estimating
the domestic winter wheat yield likely
to be as much as 675 O00, 900 bushels. The
volume of trade was rather small, and the
tone nervous. After opening Ac off to 1ac
up, the market scored moderate gains all
around, and then fell back to about last
nights level.
Figures predicting that this year the
winter wheat territory in the United States
would be 100000 acres larger at harvest
than in 1914, gave the market a further
setback The close was steady but lie to
Nc net lower.
CORN-Corn swayed with wheat Cash
demand was only fair. The opening, which
varied from a shade off to &c advance, was
followed by a slight general upturn and
then a reaction.
Better weather in Argentina counted
somewhat against the bulls. The close was
steady at hc to 5se net decline.
OATS-Trade in oats was mainly local.
Price changes were unimportant.
PROV1SIONS-Strengt in the hog mar
ket was reflected by provisions. What sell
ing there was came from holders taking
profits.

ter of salaries and commissions 1t
for these purposes. OF this amount,
$44,07S was disbursed for salaries,
while $S5,197 was paid in commas

Brewster asked about improvements
which had suddenly increased the val
acre. Caldwell told about building a
$4,000 hotel, the expense of surveys
and drainage.
More Time for 1t.
But the board wants more time in
which to look into the matter. They

meeting. The examiners report urged
a special audit of the company 5
books, communication with federal
authorities and investigators and that
the application for a renewal of the

resented by w. F. Farren. He said
his company had $4,000 acres of Texas
land, which had cost $40 to $40 an
acre and was being disposed of at $50
an acre, with irrigation rights. Far
rem admitted that the company's book
keeping system was not the very best
