InMBlDB CROWD
ATTENDS COURT
BIGB REID IN NOV ON TRIAL


Prompted by curiosity to see
and hear q colored man charged
with first degree murder and his
attorney of the same color at
tracted an,immense crowd Of peo-
ple to the county courthouse
Tuesday and Wednesday. only
part. of whom were able to gain
admission. 1t was understood ov-
er the city. and to some extent
throughout the county also. that
the jury would be complete by
Tuesday noon. and knowledge of
that fact brought hundreds Of
people there at an ear'v hour. and
some of them brought their din
ners along 80 as to make sure Of
a seat and all afternoon the
courtroom was densely packed
with spectators, while standing
room was at a premium where,
ever a look-in could be, had.
"Bige" Reed, the man charged
with first degree murder. and in
whose honor (?) these big doings
were inaugurated. W nerhaps a
lesser attraction than was his
coal black attorney who is ably
defending him. Seated on one side
of the table sat the colored de-
fendant and his attorrav. and on
e ciher side sat States Attor-
ney Forbes and his assistant. and
to the transient spectator the
scene resembled a legal con-
test between the two races.
This was the initial prosecution
of the new administration. and
for it there has been ample nre-
paration made. Surrounded nv
such a crowd of spectators the
states represc-4~ tives were in
spired to do their best. while
Judge Allen. always alert to what
is going on in his. court room.
paid the closest attention to every
question and answer submitted.
The witnesses so far examined
by the state are: DIR. Sasse, DR..
Maertz, r. V. McMichael. Jas. A.

can be concluded by tonight, but

IMMIGRATION.

The new immigration bill passed
by the Congress makes education the
test of persons fitness to become q
citizen of the United States, and
there is every indication that the bill
will be vetoed by President Wilson
Just as similar one was vetoed by
President Taft in his day. The bill
may become law over the Presi-
dents veto. but many people will
commend the President If he does
veto it, because education is by no
means the only test of q foreigners
fitness for citizenship in the United
States. Our own Senator McCumber
Is on record as opposed to this bill.
and 1t is in no sense q party issue.
That some restriction upon immi-
gratfon-may be wise nobody doubts.
But there should be broader re-
striction than mere educational
one. Some of the best citizens the
country has had have been illiterate.
1t man is honest, industrious and
law abiding he is q good citizen al
though he may not be able to read
or quote the constitution of the
United States. As some one has re:
marked. II the Savior Of men were
on earth now an dwere to come to
the United States and apply for
clttznshtp under the restrictions Of
the bill that now awaits the sigma
ture or veto Of President Wilson, he
would be rejected.
Then there should be some res
trictfons to immigration few people
doubt. but there is no special need Of
any new immigration bill Just now.
immigration has fallen OF greatly
the past year on account of the war
IN Europe. and there will continue to
pc nightly little Of It. while the war
lasts. And why should we expect
any great rush when the war Ii over?
There will be q scarcity. Of labor in

THE ONLY SON

Without a doubt the Edward Lynch
Players, who opened a two weeks en-
gagement at the Grand theater last
night with a presentation of 1.-THE
Only Son" is the best stock organiza-
ton that has played Topeka. OF course
one would not compare the troupe
with a Shubert or Klaw & Erlanger
company but when there is a COMPARE
son made with such as the North
Brothers or the Emma Bunting COM
panieS the players who have come
from Omaha, Neb., must be recog-
nized.
And it will not be necessary for the
stock patrons of the city to take the
writer's word for the merits of the
company. The audience that greeted
the play last night warmed up to the
players in a surprising manner; To-
peka audiences are usually cold to a
new company and the appreciation
expressed last night is the best indica-
ton that at last Topeka has stock
company that will rank with the best
of them.
WinchelI Smiths THE Only Son. is
an excellent vehicle for the company.
The story is an interesting one and
gives Mr.. Lynch and lone McGrane,
the leads, an opportunity to show
their ability to good advantage. Mr..
Lynchs manner is easy and his inter-
probation of the son., spendthr1ft
youth who defends his mother from
shame and finally anasseS fortune,
is pleasing.
Miss McGrane reads her lines par
ticularly well and her stage appear
ance is all that could be asked for.
Her wardrobe is extensive and mod
est.
Hollister Pratt, as the secretary, and
James O'Neill, who interprets the part
of the relentless father did good work
in the piece. The other members of
the company are above the average of
stock players
The staging of the production was
tastefully done The company car
ries it's own scenic artist and each act
is a faithful reproduction of the seem
ery that was used in the original play
two years ago when Thomas w. Ross
was seen here as '"The Only Son.
Next week Billie Burke's success,
''My Wife," will be the offering.

YOUR HAIR!
25-CENT BOTTLE
STOPS DANDRUFF
Every bit of dandruff disappears

Try this! Your hair appears

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair
of its 1uster, its strength and it's very
life; eventually producing a feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp, which if
not remedied causes the hair roots TIC
shrink, loosen and die-then the hair
falls out fast. A little Danderine to-
night-now-any time-will surely
save your hair.
Get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or tot
let counter, and after the first appIi-
cation your hair will take on that life,
luster and luxuriance which is so
beautiful. 1t will become wavy and
fluffy and have the appearance of
abundance, an incompatible gloss and
softness; but what will please you
most will be after just a few weeks
use, when you will actually see a lot
of fine, downy hair-new hair-grow-
ing all over the scalp.
Danderina is to the hair what fresh
showers of rain and sunshine are to
vegetation. 1t goes right to the roots,
invigorates and strengthens them Its
