FOUR FEATHERS, - ATTRACTION TONIGHT

-Four eTathers'' dramatized from the famous novel Of the same name by Captain A. E. w. Mason will hold the stellar position today and stomor- row on the big motion picture pro- gram at Fox's. -Four Feathers tells the story Of young man, who by reason of fear, fails to respond to his country's call in time of war. His resignation from the army brings from three of his comrades threo white feathers, supplemented by a fourth from his f1nancee. last symbol of cowardice given him. He is stung to the quick and goes to Egypt, where the war is on between the Eng fish and the Arabs, and enlists as a Greek. The screen drama gives all the episodes of his career at the scene of strife. His valorous deeds, whereby he saves from death by tor ture his three comrades, his re- covery of valuable documents ], and other acts of unusual heroism forces from his comrades just recognition of hid heroism and they demand that they return of the feathers. In re- linquishing them. the hero demands that they be returned to his fnanGee. Upon his return to England, he finds her waiting for her leather and a wedding ring is the ultimate reward that binds them together. Four Feathers is full of romantic inter est but besides there are many tre- mendously exciting scenes shown of the dramatic conflict between the forces at war;
 The leading player is Howard Es- tabrook, a handsome actor of TO- mantle ideals and inspiration, who is well known to patrons of the reg ular dramatic theaters. He is ably assisted by a large organization, ln- cluding the attrctive young leading woman, Irene Warfeld, whose per- sonality has made many photo plays effective. In conjunction with -Four Feathers the latest chapter of 'The Romance Of Elaine that most fascin- ating serial and an excellent comedy will be shown.

emphasizes the need of action, both
legal and educational. One of the
girls under arrest boosted of the num-
Der and prominence of her victims
She kept separate list of victims and
intended victims, and of the former
are business men and high school stu
dents 1 do not think she realized
the seriousness of her offense and this
was also true Of some of her victims
who failed to warn their friends even
after she had declared her Intentions
concerning them. 1t was a tragic
meeting at the police station when ten
of these victims gathered together.
She named these ten without knowing
they were ready to appear before her
and named fifteen others who were
not present and said the twenty-five
memory. And this woman was only
one of several women like her.
Topeka to Lead the Way
For such a thing to happen and
the city be powerless to take effective
legal action does not seem possible.
To preach morality is good, but this
calls for something more than preach
ing, and the administration which
finds way to prevent occurrences of
such things, is not only engaging in
real welfare work for Topeka, but is
showing the way for other cities.
"Our state laws should be strength
ened so there will be no doubt of a
city's right to control the worst as
we'll as other diseases, and if cities are
to maintain free clinics, they should
be protected by state laws whereby
endless, chain passengers cannot be
unloaded by one community upon an
other There should be a law pro-
viding penalty for any city or county
officer to provide transportation to
another city or county of any person
afflicted with diseases of Lhe kind
under discussion.
LAS conditions now are, these I'M
fortunates are sent from one commu-
nifty to another merely to get rid of
them. Other counties send them to
Shawnee county, and Shawnee county,
as a matter of protection sends them
to another. This was done just this
week. Topeka got rid of this disease
spreading, demented man, out what
about the community to which he was
sent? I do not think we should do
to some other community what we do
not want that community to do to u.s."
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1915-06-26

cases one man says. ST won't" and
the other says, you shall" and they
both get angry and stubborn. In such
cases. it takes longer to get the angry
feelings alIayed than it does to get
settlement.
One defendant wanted the court
abolished because he had to appear to
show cause why he should not pay one
dollar for labor. He said it was an
outrage that he had to come to court
over so small a sum. If he had paid
it when the work was done he would
not have been in court. On the same
theory all defendants would want all
courts abolished.
Out of ADJ cases that have been
tried there are not more than dozen
defendants and a few plaintiffs who
are dissatisfied, but some of them
make a great fuss about it. One case
the plaintiff and defendant were
neither satisfied and talked a lot to
third parties. Usually when a party
abuses the court you can set 1t down
that he has been compelled to make
an honest settlement
In two cases the plaintiffs were do
ing work that required a state permit
which neither had. one of them is
now living in Topeka and the other
said no more business would be done
until a permit was secured. However
both are now unfriendly to this court.
This court protects the defendant
as we'll as the plaintiff. When a
judgment is given against the defend
ant, he and the judge, agree on the
time of payments. If it would be
hardship on the defendant to pay il
all at once arrangements arc made
for weekly or monthly payments and
as long as the defendant makes the
payments as agreed on the case will
not be certified to the district clerk,
and no garniShee can be run.
Again 1 want to warn women of the
risk they take in loaning their savings
to men, and others, on unsecured
notes. These savings are valuable but
the ordinary unsecured note is not.
Municipal bonds and deposits in
savings banks are safe, and while the
interest rate is low there is no risk of
losing either interest or principal
1t is a pretty good condition in
city of so, 900 when there are only ia
cases of record and probably 100 tele-
phone cases in this court in one year.
Most people want to pay their honest
debts. May the tribe of dead BEATS
grow less and less.

Big Strawberry Shipments.

strawberries have been shipped from
the east Tennessee section and points
south of Chattanooga to Cincinnati
and other western markets during he
season now coming to close, accord
ing to figures of the Queen and Cres-
cent route, over which practically the
entire crop moved. The great bulk
of this movement comes from stations
north of Chattanooga on the c. n. O.
and T. P railway A number of cars
also came from points on the South
ern railway in east Tennessee, the
total from these two sections this year
running over 900 cars. Eighty cars
came from CUBA, Ala, and other sta
lions in that territory on the Alabama
Great Southern road. There were a
few scattering shipments to make the
total.

A Winged-Shaped Car.

r. s. Parsons, general manager of
the Erie railroad, has announced that
a wing-shaped car, invented by Di-
vision Engineer J. J. Bouken of the
Erie. has been adopted by the four
divisions under him. The car will be
sent over the entire road later, after
being used on these four divisions. The
car is equipped with a steel wing
which extends from the side. This
wing scrapes the dirt from the ties,
giving an even roadbed and cutting
the ballast and ditch lines in one
operation, saving time and money 1t
also improves the appearance of the
road, and is regarded one of the
best pieces of machinery that has been
turned out in years.

TO DEH0RN ELkS
Attorney General Asks Court
for Writ of Custer.
His Action Is Directed Against
the Cherryvale Lodge.

Because, as he claims, the gambling
and liquor laws are being violated, At
torney General Brewster has asked
the supreme court for an custer order
against the Cherryvale- Elks' lodge.
The petition in quo warrantO also asks
for the appointment of receiver and
revoking of the license of the lodge.
Evidence is said to have been pre-
sented to the attorney general which
led him to believe that the prohibi-
tory law as well as the law against
gambling had been violated by the
Cherryvale lodge. On this evidence,
Brewster will seek to close the club
rooms and revoke the lodges charter.
That the action of the state against
the Cherryvale ElkS' lodge is the first
of a series of moves to stop alleged
law violations by clubs chartered I'M
der the state law, was indicated by
Brewster, following the filing Of his
case in the supreme court. There is
less excuse for the violation OF law
in the well-to-do club than in the
poor mans joint" said Brewster.
The Cherryvale lodge is No. $50 and
was chartered in April, 1914. Ralph
E. Hacker is exalted ruler of the
lodge. The governing body is COM
posed of A. n. Dickerell and James
O'Leary while H. T. Wilson, Charles
Reese, DR.. Schroeder and w. K. Ho-
well are trustees. ]. G.. Sadler is sec
rotary of the lodge.

WING SHAPED CAR ON ERIE

The largest exhibit of railway ap-

the Master Mechanics convention held
all last week in Atlantic City. Differ
ent parts of locomotive, shop and roll
ing stock machinery were on exhibition
by corporations in the United States,
England, France, Germany, India and
Australia. Four thousand people at
tended the convention and its subsid-
iary meetings.
The Santa F'e railway was repre-
scented by John Purcell, of Chicago, as
SiStant to the vice president; M. H.
Haig of Topeka, mechanical engineer;
Albert McRae, Chicago, editor Santa
Fe magazine; Frank W. Thomas, To-

Mr.. Purcell gave his 1ieutenants in
structions to do all the scouting nee
essary to pick out anything that the
Santa Fe might be interested in. Later
the Santa Fe men held a conference
and discussed the merits of the va
rious devices. A decision was reached
regarding the advisability of further
investigation.
Mr.. Thomas went east in advance of
the rest of the party. He attended
the annual meeting of the National

TWO YEARS OF

Judge w. III. Kemper Files His
Biennial Statement.
Justice Dealt Out to Those
Unable to Pay.
BIG DECREASE IN CASES FILED
Number Falls From 37S First
Year to ia the Second.
Only Few of the Litigants
Express Dissatisfaction.

The biennial statement of the small
debtors court of Topeka, just filed
by w H. Kemper, judge Of the court.
shows pretty conclusively that the
court is doing the work it was in
tended to do-seeing that justice is
dealt without expense to those who
ara least able to pay court costs.
Incidentally the report gives some
interesting sidelight on human char
acter- One man wanted the court
abolished because he was forced to
pay 81 which he owed He thought it
an outrage for any court to take judi
cial notice of such a small claim. But
the dollar probably meant as much to
the man to whom it was due as
much larger sum might mean to
others, and 1t is for such cases that
the court was created
The report in full is as follows:
Total amount of claims filed. 81. 81
Total amount involved in cases tried 2,374 1S
Total amount given in Judgments. 2,11O.I6

The sheriff has collected few of
these judgments and in each case the
costs have been paid by the defendant.
These costs are light, averaging less
than $500 per case.
The costs, when collected, are put
into the county treasury, and while
this court was never intended to be a
revenue producer for the county, in
cidentaIly il helps a little. The coun-
ty is at no expense in making these
collections.
1t is as necessary to see that the
plaintiffs claim is not more than it
should be as it is to have the defend
ant paid. That accounts for there
being 95 cases where the judgment is
less than the amount filed for
There were 37S cases filed the first
year and ia the second This shows
that we have settled many of the cases
of long standing and that the new
cases are not so numerous now as be-
fore the court began its work. The
moral effect of the court is good and
in many cases a man pays promptly
when he might drag out the time if
the laborer had no place TIC go for as
sistance.
