MUCH PRAISE FROM PRESS
Comment Throughout State
Flattering to the Kansans.
Right to Vote Has Not Changed
Women of the West.

| Kansas and Kansans have proved
themselves important factors in New
York's suffrage campaign, which will
close next Tuesday when the amend
ment is voted upon by the people of
the state. Half a dozen prominent
Kansans have been active speakers in
the effort to obtain franchise rights
for women and suffrage in Kansas has
been the subject of much comment in
the press of the state and of numer-
Gus speeches in the campaign.
w. Y. Morgan of Hutchinson, lieu
tenant governor of Kansas, himself
newspaper man, and Mrs. Morgan have
been among the most active in the
campaign Henry J. Allen of Wichita;
Earl Akers, state treasurer of Kansas,
and Major A. VI. Harvey of Topeka,
a former lieutenant governor of the
state, are among the Kansans who
have told New Workers of KANSAS
experience with equal rights for
women.
Matter of Course. Says Morgan.
Woman suffrage with US is taken
n matter of course" said Lieuten-
ant Governor Morgan recently. mo
one thinks it at all out of the usual
run of every day life L can truthfully
say that we men of Kansas are glad
and proud that 0ur women are citi-
zenS with US; woman suffrage works
SO well in our state that we take it,
like other blessings, as a matter Of
course
Mr.. Allen also apparently has won
much favor in his suffrage talks. Re
Gently he asserted that the right to
vote has not cause Kansas women to
take up the style of growing boards
or chewing tobacco
"Out in Kansas we have had woIn-
an suffrage for many years. he said,
land there has been no noticeable
change in our women. They still oc-
cupy the soprano places in our lives
The only thing they have changed is
our politics, which they have ma lie
clean and wholesome"

MEXICO NOT TO BORROW
De Facto Government Has No Plans
to Float Foreign Loan.

Galveston, Texas, Oct. 29.-The de
facto government in Mexico has no
present intention of floating a foreign
loan, according to a statement from
the acting secretary of finance, which
was received at the local Constitu-
tionaI consulate today from Mexico
City.
The statement points out that at
present sixty-two per cent of customs
receipts of the country is pledged to
meet payments on foreign indebted
ness, and it is believed that this will
be ample Contemplated economies in
administration will, it is believed, en-
able the government to build up
large surplus. Payments on foreign
indebtedness will shortly be resumed,
if administration plans materialize.
All issues of paper money, other
than that of the constitutional gov
ernment, will be nullified, says the
secretary

BRITISH LOSSES HALF
MILLION men IN WAR

London, Oct. 29.-British casual
tics from the beginning of the war
to October 8 were 1926
British casualties up to August
21. as given officially on Septem-
Der II. were 3S1.932. This shows
a total between that time and OctO-
Der 3 of 111.311, or a daily aver
age of 2.271. Losses between June
8 and August 21. averaged about
1.5O0 daily. The marked increase
i'm the fall over the summer losses
may be accounted for primarily by
the heavy fighting on the western
front at the time of the French
and British offensive movement
last month.

And talk To the man iu the shade
10 is easy to float In % well-trimmed

And point out the places 20 wade
But once we pass into the shadows,
We murmur and fret and lrown,
And our length from the bank, we

And counsel the man on foot;
But get down and walk and you'll

But no one can ratio a burdens

Until it has been on his back.

Can preach Of sorrows worth;
But give it a sip, and wryeu lip
