coed to business"
SAYS VICE COMMISSION

On motion of Councilman Seaton. the
City Attorney was called upon to ex-
plain to the Investigators what powers
were vested In the body.
Mr. Pollard Informed the committee
that IL could summon witnesses, com
pei testimony. and that there was no
limit to the field from which II might
draw it's witnesses. He said that, in
the event OF unfavorable findings, the
City Council had power to remove COM
missioners. at its discretion, by a two
thirds vote.
Mr.. Pollard told the committee that
II was not necessary to formulate
charges against the commissioners ac-
cused by the Vice Commission, the
Vice Commission being not a legally
constituted body. In this connection
he recalled the case OF Judge Camp
bell. who was removed from the bench
by the General Assembly OF Virginia,
following an investigations Counsel
for Judge Campbell, he said, had con-
tended that the judge was not legally
g.
not seen fit to formulate charges be-
fore entering upon the investigation.
The objection. however, was of no
avail. The Judge was removed from
the bench. He added that tho accused
men were entitled to representation by
counsel

STURDY HIRAM DALE.

Nothing makes more mournful read
ing than the average production that
seeks to pay tribute to the dead, but
we are going to reproduce what Will
lam Allen White has to say about
Hiram Dale in his paper, the Emporia
Gazette. We never heard of Hiram
Dale before and we doubt whether he
was known to many beyond the small
circle OF his friends but, humble
though he was, his life was worth
while even If it accomplished nothing
more than to inspire the gifted Kansas
author to write such eulogy. Would
that the world had more Hiram Dales
and such writer's as MIR White to speed
them on their journey to another
realm. No best seller ever contained
finer literature than the following
From the great city where he went
few months ago they brought today
the body of hale and sturdy Hiram
Dale, to lay his bones to rest beside
the dust of his good wife with whom
be lived in sweet companionship for
half a century. Much of that time they
lived in Emporia. and they gathered
about their lives friends by the scores
and by the hundreds. They were
friendly. They loved the human crea-
ture. They had deep and convincing
charity that was good to find in this
world. Always Hiram Dale was very
much alive. He enjoyed everything.
All his senses were keen. Even when
he left Emporia and took up his life
in old age in a new environment, he
enjoyed it, saw its pleasures, under
stood its charm, got into the spirit OF
it. There was no dying for him while
his blood tingled with life.
What a fine thing it is TO live life
to the full; to get all out Of it that
ii holds, in fellowship; in those finer
lows that are Of the spirit-the emo
tons. the mind, the aspirations Of the
soul. Hale. sturdy Hiram Dale knew
all of life that was good to know. He
shed kindness as some men shed their
hates. He had the strong lineaments
of a fullgrown soul. That it is not
stin growing, that it can stop at the
end of this earthly pilgrimage-that Is
beyond imagination. Wherever he is
Hiram Dale is getting the JOY out o.
it. and even the lonely place he has
left in the hearts that love him. vii
not sadden him. For he knows life anc
how healing is the sweet medicine O
time.
"So-heres a hail and goodbye e
you-Hiram Dale, Good luck and Goo
bless you"

SUBSCRIPTIONS RATES:
GOVERNOR WILLIAMS VOICES
GOOD SENTIMENTS.

Governor Williams has never had
the reputation Of being a bright and
shining light as a spellbinder. As q
matter Of fact. he is not at all gifted
in oratorical pyrotechnies. but when
the occasion calls for it he is capable
cf giving expression to wholesome sen
timents in impressive language. His
address at the laying Of the corner
stone OF the state capitol contained
some messages that are worthy of repe-
tition and thoughtful perusal by every
citizen. We quote from II as follows;
Whoever views this building with
paramount idea Of personal gain,
whether in an official or private ca
pacity, has not the proper conception
of the formation Of civil government.
Whoever places his foot within these
corridors for the purpose Of personal
exploitation desecrates these halls. He
who comes within these walls for the
purpose Of having just laws framed
and Justly and honestly administered
has a true conception of the govern
ment and appreciates its mission
Good men and women may differ as
TO how this may be accomplished in a
governmental sense. but there can be
no difference as to the high regard for
duty that should control and direct iii
bringing this about.
may the resources of this great
young state be truly developed. She
is marvelously rich in agriculture and
minerals. Let us bring about this de-
yelopment with a sturdy, thrifty,
honest and faithful application. While
this natural wealth is being developed,
may there not at the same time be any
mental or moral decay or perversion,
but may strong manhood and woman
hood grow and develop in an equal de-
gree. God forbid that material devel-
opment. pomp and spiendor or selfish
interests shall cause or induce our
citizens or public officials to depart
from the law and its just administra-
ton. May they ever, with the fidelity,
patriotism and courage of a Burke.
Chatham, Samuel Adams or Patrick
Henry, stand within these walls and
labor and speak that this government
may last forever and exist in strong,
healthy and vigorous growth in afford

people.
