NONE MORE WELCOME.

Topeka is wonderfully gratified, but
no more so than it should be
over the gathering here again of the
teachers of Kansas for their annual
convention. Their repeated visits to
their capital city for their yearly con-
ferences and exchange of views, which
are of such essential concern to the
educational development of the state,
are an exceptional honor, compliment
to the community and it's attractions
and conveniences that is as great as
could possibly be paid it Topeka ap-
preciates it to the full. There is moth
ing too good for the school teachers
of Kansas, and their annual visit to
Topeka cannot but suggest that they
find all the agencies here for an ideal
meeting place. The people of a COM
munity would be as of stone did they
not recognize this appreciation of their
town, and recognizing it, act accord
ingly. So Topeka extends the heart
lest of welcomes to the teachers of
Kansas. 1t is the earnest desire of all
Topekans that the teachers have the
best kind of time in every respect
during their stay. They are ready to
do anything in their power to make
this possible. But Topekans haven't
graduated as yet into the mind-read-
ing class. No matter how sincere their
wishes may be to do everything they
can to make matters most agreeable
for their guests, they will probably
fall short in their efforts unless their
guests make known their wants and
needs. So don't be backward, Teach
ers. Ask and We shall receive. Seek
and ye shall find. Remember that
every man, woman and child in To-
peka is at your disposal to assist in
every way possible to make your visit
a memorable one for comfort and
pleasure, as well. All of US are ready
to do our part. 1t remains largely for
you to let US know how we can be
helpful.

Brown, colred, Ill North Van Buren,
street, was issued this morning from
the office of the county attorney. The
Brown woman is charged with keeping

ured in the Gay murder. Philip Brown
killed Gay while the latter was chasing
his mother with a butcher knife, ac-
cording to a warrant on which young
Brown was arrested
An inquest held in the court of To-
peka Wednesday afternoon failed to
implicate Mrs. Brown and several 9TH
ers who were held by the county on
charges of being parties to the act.
The latter charges will be dismissed.

work over the new booklet. Ruth
grew to love the work. 1t was fasci-

the eliminations and additions, the
taking of new photographs. All this
fell to her share, while Allan looked
after the advertising. And the colonel
bided his own time, satisfied to know
that she was drawing $50 week in

at the hotel thrown in for good meas

The day before Christmas he came into
the inner private office unexpectedly and
found Ruth standing by the window, gaz-
ing down at the park while Allan talked
to her. They did not notice the Colonels
entrance, and he stood in silence listening
to the boy plead for her. 1t had been
many years since the glamour of real
nance had swept the placid shores of his
everyday life AS he listened to the I'M

boy pouring out to her-nothing but

that here was what she needed and he
could not give it to her-young love in
all its splendor and divinity. He went out
noiseIessly.
Later, Allan came to him, his clean
shaver young face radiant with a new
confidence.

new POINT IN law
Proper Mailing of a Letter No Evi-
dence of Its Receipt.

The fact that a letter, properly adj
dressed and stamped, with a return
address, is properly mailed, is not con-
elusive evidence that the letter is re-
ceived, according to a ruling made to-
day in the second division of the dis
trict court, by Judge George H. Whit
comb. Judge Whitcomb held that the
mailing of a letter was only presump-
tive evidence of its receipt
The unique question arose this
morning in the case of the Gabriel
Lumber company against Frank Mel
verden, Clyde b. Carson and the
Knights and Ladies of Security. The
case involves mechanics lien. The
plaintiff set up the plea that the de-
PENDANTS were notified with a letter
when the suit on the lien was filed
The defendant claimed no letter was
received. The plaintiff made a motion
that the fact that the letter was prop
erly mailed be held by the court az
conclusive evidence of its receipt
Judge Whitcomb overruled the mo-
ton.

FOR CLEAR THINKING
Professor Harshbarger Says Mathe-

mathematics of Washburn college, in
sary to the cultural development of
| the college student, as the study Of
the romance languages of literature,
is the assertion of Professor w. Il
| Harshbarger, of the department Of
mathmatics of Washburn college. in
his address, Should College Mathe-
maticS be Required of All Candidates
for an a. B. Degree ?" before the
State Teachers convention this after
noon. The address was short Pro-
fessor Harshbarger dwelling, on the
value of the study of mathematics
for every college graduate.
THAT mathematics is the best pos
logical reasoning, is not my own
original thought said Professor
Harsh barger, but is the belief of all
foremost educators. There is no other
subject that develops clear thinking,
and reasoning as mathematics. But the
greatest good that the average student
will derive from his mathematics will
be the power of sticking to a thing
until it is done. The greatest benefit
of working for hours over a difficult
problem is having to stick to a thing
until it is done. For the stick-to-it-
iveness that the students get from
working hard problems, mathematics
has justified itself.
Il believe, though, this is off the
question of mathematics" continued
Professor Harshbarger, that there
should be three requirements of the
candidate for an A. B. degree. He
should be given a year of history,
year of mathematics, and a year of
some laboratory science. In this way
he sees the different courses of learn
ing, and is enabled to find himself.
If forced to take these three varying
courses. he has a we'll rounded sched-
ule and perhaps may find himself in
a line of study in which otherwise he
would not have become interested"

zEALANDIA NOT IN PORT
British Say U. S. Ship Was on High
Seas When Searched.

Washington, Nov. 11.-British au-
thorities here investigating the re-
ported forcible search of the Ameri-
can steamer Zealandia at Progreso,
Mexico, by party from British
cruiser, have information which leads
them to believe the Zealandia, when
searched, was lying more than three
miles off shore and was therefore not
in a neutral port, but on the high
seas. They are investigating further
and the state department is making
inquiries.
Latest information to British
sources is that the Zealandia which
has been suspected of being engaged
in unneutral operations since she
cleared mysteriously from Pensacola,
Fla, last month, was intending to go
from the Mexican port to Sweden. She
carried rosin which is used in the
manufacture of Shrapnel.

Late statistics of our foreign COM
merce indicate that we are beginning
to get a large and increasing share of
the trade of South America. The ex-
ports and imports to and from that
territory for September were double
what they were during the same
month last year. But the important
question is as to whether or not we
will be able to retain this trade after
the European war is over.
