duced to serve in that capacity Through
his influence, correspondence schools for
officers have been maintained for several
years past, each officer being required to
meet certain standards of study in tactics
and strategy. AS a result, officers in the
Kansas National Guard rank higher than
those of almost any state, and the Guard it
self is second to that of state in eff
cheney. But Martin has proceeded without
effort to advertise himself consequently
the general public knows too little of his
real worth But military men know his
worth, and admire him greatly. Modest,
quiet and efficient, General Martin has been
doing real mans work in Kansas for al
most a decade without much thought of
whether he would ever get more than
''thank YOU for it. He has been working
for the works sake, rather than for com
pensation. After all, that is the course that

he will do it, if he lives until the bankers gath
er in ST. Louis, in their annual meeting, late
next summer, and he is good life insurance
risk, despite his fifty-six years. In their
annual meeting at Seattle few weeks ago
the bankers elected P w. Goebe1 of Kan
sas City, Kansas, as first vice-president OF
the Association. That means, if precedent
be followed, and bankers ordinarily follow
precedent as religiously as do their lawyers,
that Pete Goebel will be the president OF
the American Bankers Association a year
from now And let it be said, without de
sire to disparage anybody, that the Associa-
Goebel, despite the fact that he is Demo
craft and ''Dutchman Goebel has been a
resident of Kansas more than forty years.
and for fifteen years he was cashier OF lit
tie country bank at Louisburg, in Miami
county. He has been president OF the Com
mercial National Bank at Kansas City, since
its organization, and he IS recognized as one
of the most capable bankers in the West
Not only is his business judgment widely
respected but he is personally popular be-
cause of his genial and friendly nature.
Goebe1 was born in Germany. He came to
this country a poor immigrant. L he sue
cess he has won is a real demonstration OF
the faulty of the frequent statement that
the doors of opportunity are closed to boys
in these days And, incidentally, it demon
strates that hard work. honesty, and per-
severance will take man a long way, to
say nothing of the fact that it demonstrates
that even bankers sometimes show good
judgment. In honoring P. w. Goebel, the
members of the American Bankers Assoc1a-
ton have honored themselves, and Kansas
people generally will indorse for them in
this particular.

In these days of re
newed interest in the
subject of military pre-
paredness on the part
of the United States,
Charles I. Martin, adj
jutant general of Kan
sas, begins to see signs
that the seed he has
been sowing through
out a rather eventful
life is to bear fruit
General Martin has
been interested in and
identified with what it
has been popular to re
gard as "tin sold1ery"

since bovhood However he has been
steadfastly ambitious to make mil1tlamen
something more than 'tin soldiers, and he
has been successful in marked degree so
far as the Kansas National Guard is con-
cerned. When Congress takes up the ques-
ton of strengthening the national defenses
next winter, as Congress surely will, Cen
eral Martin will be one of the men whose
Judgment to what can be done IN the
direction of developing a citizen soldlery to
serve as a second line of defense will be
relied upon largely by those who have made
most careful study of the subject. General
Martin enjoys high standing, not only with
officers of the regular army who know his
capabi1ity, but with National Guard officers
everywhere. He is president OF the national
association of adutant generals, well as
a member of the executive committee OF
the National Guard Association itself. Kew
National Guard officers have as high stand
ing with the officers OF the War Depart
ment. He is thoroughly familiar with all
angles of the problems incident to develop
ing adequate defense without fostering
military spirit repugnant to American ira
ditions and ideals. And better than all.
General Martin is soldier without beng
a militarist. He is a high type OF the
American volunteer, and he has served his
state and nation as militia officer largely
as a result of an intense belief that he was
discharging a patriotic duty. Martin was
an officer in the old Kansas militia when
unteers, at the outbreak of the Spanish
American war. He was commissioned as
captain of the Fl. Scott company in the
Twentieth Kansas, the regiment with
which Fred Funston won fame in the Philli
pines. Martin won promotion in active
field service, and came back to Kansas with
the rank of major. He returned to civil
life after he mustered out of the army,
but his experience in the far East had given
him insight to the need that there be
systematic training of citizens for soldiery,
and he did not long resist the call of the
National Guard. In 1909, he was appointed
adjutant general of Kansas, by the Gov
ernor, after his qualifications had been testi-
fled to by majority of the officers then
serving with the Guard. At this writing,
he has held the position by appointment of
three Governors, one of them of opposite
political alignment. At that time, he
Endorsed by every officer of the Guard. 1t
is almost entirely due to the efficiency of
General Martin that the office of adjutant
general has ceased to be regarded polit-
cal plum in Kansas. If Governors to
come follow the wishes of the Guard itself,
Martin will probably continue as adjutant
general of Kansas long as he be in

While the American

was honoring one Jay
hawker, the National
Tax Conference, which
held its sessions at San
Francisco, passed its
highest honor to anoth-
er, electing Samuel t.

has come to be regard
ed as one of the best informed men in
America the practical phases of problems
touching taxation. The body of which he
chosen president is an organization of
the authorities of the country taxation,
and the taxing officers of states, well
of delegates appointed by the Governors of
the various states. No other organization
has so great an influence in shaping the
country's thought and legislation with refer
ence to the always live issue OF taxation. In
selecting S. I. Howe for president, the con-
vention acted wisely and with fitting recog
milton of the service he has rendered through
his careful study of taxation principles and
problems. Although his opportunities for
early education were far short of those open
to the poorest boy today, Sam. Howe has
developed into a student and scholar whose
opinions are sought by all men who have
come into contact with him. He never has
feen satisfied with half knowledge or in
accurate information and it is pleasing to
his thousands of Kansas friends to know
that SO high an honor has to him.
Howe IS a Kansas pioneer. He came to the
state, boy fresh from the army, and he has
had large part in writing the history of the
state Be it said to his credit, that there is
shadow stain in any chapter which he
has helped to write. He settled on the
prairies of Marion county, and his home
there until he came to Topeka to serve
as state treasurer. Howe sheriff of Mar
ion county during pioneer days, and he was
a good officer in trying time, although his
benevolent appearance now would not in
dictate that he had ever chased bad man.
He has served, too, a member of the
Board of Railroad Commissioners, and the
pattern he followed while in that capacity
might be consulted by present-day utility
commissioners without damage to the public
service Howe is rounding out highly use
full career of service to his state, by his work
on the Tax Commission, and it is gratifying
to know that honor, which he no doubt
prizes highly, has come to him at the hands
of SO distinguished gathering of authori-
ties on the question in which he is so deeply
interested, and to consideration of which
he has given many years of his life.

z WANTEn.n

New York and Chicago's big sue,
cess, Help Wanted" written by Jack
Lait. the well-known Chicago news
paper m who has turned author
with wonderful success, comes to the
Grand theater Wednesday, April z,
with the reputation of having ran for
SO weeks at the Cort theater in Chi
cago. The length of this run is
sufficient to draw the attention Of the
local theatergoers, but SO much has
been heard about the theme of the
piece that indications point to the
bannar audience OF the season. Press
agents don't have to become active
when a success reaches this city; the
local th~eatergoers know a success
without the assistance of the press
agents ambitions. Help Wanted" is
one OF the shows that have been
awaited, and now 1t will positively
appear. the theatergoers are satisfied.
The story tells of a poor. very young,
pretty unsophisticated stenographer,
whose employer deliberately plans
her ruin. A series of climaxes follow
that are none other han a story torn
from the book of every s~tenographer,
who faces such a situation. There is
dramatic vitality in the situations that
command more attention than With
