Presidents and ssnate..
From the Ne,

ETOIn the New 4OrK world.
OF all the weird decisions that bedeyil
the republican leaders in Washington and
the republican newspaper outside of
washington, the weirdest is the delus,on
that the president can be discredited IL
the ship purchase bin is beaten In the
Senate.
Presidents do not suffer politically from
defeats in the United States Senate. The
Senate is the least trusted. part OF the
ular. Its good faith is the most frequent-
ly challenged. Presidents are strength
ened rather than weakened by clashes
with the Senate.
1t is serious business for a president
to lose the support Of his party majority
in the House, but when he loses the
support of the Senate majority he can
lie sympathy. This is especially true il
the Senate opposition is tainted with pri-
vate interest.
ways turn out as 1t was expected to turn
out, and the president must bear the bur-
den Of popular disappointment. But a bill
that is s%trangled by the Senate loses none
Of It's anticipated virtues, while the OBJ
jections lodged against it remain UNI

led, provided he does not undertake to call

the better off for the defeat of a nom

of Immaculate Con.
ceptiOn Restored i'm Topeka.
Beautiful Picture Will Be Re-
turned to st. Marys.

The painting of the Immaculate
Conception owned by the Catholic
parish at st. Marys, Kan, and which
has been undergoing renovation and
repair at the J. D. Sullivan art store
in Topeka, has now been restored to
all its original beauty and freshness
and will be returned to ST. Marys
Saturday.
This painting was given to st.
Marys church Chen cathedraD about
SO years ago by Pope Plus TX in rec
ognition of the good work done
among the Indians by the Jesuit
fathers at ST. Marys Mission. 1t was
hung in the old wooden church and
narrowly escaped destruction when
that edifice was burned many years
ago. When the new stone church was
finished, it was hung there, and there
remained until last winter, when, as
it had been decided to redecorate the
interior of the church, it was also
much needed restoration and have it
suitably framed.
A remarkable popularity of the
picture besides its great beauty and
brilliant colors, is that whether the
spectator happens to be standing to
the right, to the left, or directly in
front or 1t, the figure appears to be
turned toward him and about to step
forward and out of the frame.
Ben Mileham's Discovery.
At the time the picture came to
Topeka the artists name and the date
of the work could not be .aScertained-
The State Journal, however, received
later a letter from Ben Mileham, of
this city, saying that while doing
some decorating in the ST. Marys
church several years ago, he noticed
that the pictures canvas was in very
bad condition, and he was directed to
repair it. While doing this he noticed

bard the Dardanelles Forts.
Attack ON the FOrtificatiOnS of
Smyrna Is Resumed.

London, April 23.-The assault on
the DardanelleS has been renewed, al
though it is not apparent whether the
allied forces are ready to begin the ex-
pected general attack. Four British
warships entered the straits yesterday
and bombarded the Turkish forts,
which were subjected also to indirect
fire across the peninsula, from the
Gulf of Saros. The result of this fight
ing has not been disclosed.
Bombardment of the Turkish forts
at Smyrna, Asia Minor, also is be-
lieved to have been resumed There is
nothing to indicate, however, that
any move has been made toward an
attack by the forces landed from the
Gulf of SaroS, such as is expected to
accompany the next effort on a large
scale to win the Dardanelles.
A long conference between the Ital-
ian foreign minister and the Austrian
ambassador at Rome is accepted as
sign that negotiations are still under
way between Austria and Italy. It
was reported that Italy has sent an
ultimatum to Austria.
A Petrograd dispatch says Russian
aviators inflicted considerable damage
by attacks on German position at sew
eral points. Bombs were dropped on
Plock and Mlawa, Russian Poland,
several German boats On the Vistula
river were, struck and German
trenches were damaged.

RIDCEWAY IS GONE
Disgruntled Pitcher Takes
French Leave and Goes Home.
Owner Savage Puts Him on the
Suspended List.

A sad blow has befallen Jimmy
Jackson's Savages who open their
Western League season in Wichita to-
day. Adonis Ridgeway, the hand
some faced, heart-smashing pitcher,
will never again climb upon the
mound and wind up his wonderful
arm for the edification of Topeka fans.
Henceforth, Ridgeway will get his
mali in Philadelphia
The blow fell Thursday evening,
only a short time before the Savages
took their departure for Wichita. The
first intimation of it came when
Adonis called up the offices of the
club and asked that his mail be for
warded to the City of Brotherly Love.
This morning John Savage, owner of
the club, stated that Ridgeway would
that never, never again would he be
allowed to play in Topeka.
AS is well known to local fans,
Ridgeway has been suffering from a
season. He claimed that the club
owners did not give him square deal,
and after Savage took charge of the
team, refused to sign a contract. How
ever, he did finally sign and reported
with the other players for spring
training.
Given a Hint.
When the last training trip was
made, he was taken to Emporia but
was sent home when the team left for
ElDorado. AS soon as Owner Savage
got back to Topeka from the trip, he
notified other clubs in the Western
League that Ridgeway was on the
market.
When the list of those who were to
go to Wichita was announced and his
name was not included, Ridgeway
packed his grip and made the request
that his mail be sent to Philadelphia
He still belongs to the Topeka club
and will be sold just as soon as mar
ket can be found.
Last season with poor support be-
hind him Ridgeway won and lost
10 games for Topeka, and on several
occasions displayed brilliant pitching
ability.

DON'T WASH YOUR
HAIR WITH SOAP

When you wash your hair, don't
use soap. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos' contain too much alkal,
which is very injurious, as it dries
the scalp and makes the hair brit
tie.
The best thing to use is Just
plain mulSified cocoanut oil, for
this is pure and entirely greaseless.
It's very cheap, and beats soaps or
anything else all to pieces. You
can get this at any drug store, and
a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with wa
ter and rub it in, about teaspoon
full is all that is required. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, cleanses thoroughly, and
rinses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and is soft,
fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy
and easy to handle. Besides, 1T
loosens and takes out every parti-
Gle of dust, dirt and dandruff.-
