 Mir. and Mrs. Frank Scott, of High land. Kans., are seeking a home with lots of land. They will need it. for although they have been married not quite ten years they had nineteen children, all boys. and thirteen are living. They hold the record for ,triplets, having five sets to their credit and also two sets of twins. All the thirteen living boys are under , years of age.
 Mrs. Scott once boarded train with her thirteen boys and one first class ticket.

As the sale of tobacco products depends largely on the ad- vertiscm ent of brands, competition in the tobacco business necessarily in- creases advertising expenditure. In other words. for tobacco products, and it may he true also for other brand articles, the social cost of the system of competition is largely found in ex- traordinary advertising expense, and this would seem to be inevita ble for brand articles so long as they have q proprietary character"

The successor companies have also competed with the smaller tobacco concerns and, collectively, have won business from tn em in some branches and lost to them in others. As a consequence of competition tho rate of profit of tho successor cont panies has been reduced, although their rate of profit is still high. In general this competition has serious ly reduced the profit of the other companies.
 This reduction in profits has not been caused by increased cost of manufacture, but by increased ex-

be. this writer knows that Jay House brings
to his new task a wealth of common sense,
honest purpose, broad sympathy and prac-
teal ideas. and it is our judgment that he
deserves to succeed Some people who read
these lines may not agree with our estimate
of House. If there be such, let them reduce
their opinion of House to writing and mail
it to the mayor of Topeka. He will see that
it finds its way to print, if he did not change
his habits when he took up his new duties.
And now to Harvey Parsons, chief OF
police, cartoonist and colin" conductor. AS
has been said, Parsons came to Topeka along
with House, but they did not come to-
gether. House came via Atch1son, follow
ing the funeral of newspaper venture.
Parsons came from Waubaunsee county
ranch where he had been wrangling Oregon
horses. Destiny drove him out of the paths
he had planned to pursue. An outlaw horse
had rolled on him, smashing his thigh,
breaking his ribs, and otherwise Jammlng
him I'D so that he was no longer worth his
board as ranch hand.
He had been Tending for himself for eight
or ten wears, and had less education than
most boys of fifteen. But he could make pic
lures and he was given place on the staff
of the afternoon newspaper as an expert
ment The experiment worked out satisfac-
torily. Parsons developed rapidly as an
artist, and more rapidly as writer. His IL
Illustrated reports of police court news tinged
with a characteristic humor, brought him
improved opportunity, and for several years
past he has edited a feature column on one
of the Topeka papers, contributing occa-
sional cartoons on local subjects.
Like House, Parsons hates shams and dis

trusts people who parade public spirit and
common virtues and ideals. He is square,
fair chap, with the sort of determination
that carries men long way when it is
aroused. incidentally, the people who pick
Harve Parsons for "softy" out of his ele-
ment in his new job, have another guess
coming With his experience as police
reporter he developed an intense interest in
police problems and he is well informed on
the subject Besides, he has had world
of experience with men, some of them hard
characters.
Few men crowded more of adventure into
the early years of their lives. When
youngster Parsons lived in Florida. He
lost his father and was working in Florida
saw mill to support himself before he was
we'll into his teens. The Cuban revolution
was on before he was sixteen, and along
with most of the other denizens OF the
Florida coast, Parsons had more or less SYM
pathy with the cause of Cuban liberty.
Sometimes, his intimates have suspected
that he filibustered bit, but he denies it
now. Neither will he admit that he ever
engaged in running" guns and ammunition
to the Cubans, but he tells mighty good
story of his participation in getting con-
signment of machetes out of Florida and
into Cuba incidentally, he contributes the
information that most of the machetes with
which the Cubans hacked up their Spanish
oppressors came from Chicago mail order
houses. For chap who never filibustered,
Harve Parsons knows lot about hlibuster-
ing.
Parsons once sailed alone in a small
boat from Key West to New Orleans. An

The controversy in which House engaged
with w. r. Stubs, while the latter was
Governor, probably brought him to the
notice of more Kansas people than anything
he had done previously. Governor Stubs
was engaged in crusade for the enforce
ment of the prohibitory law 1t will hardly
be construed as slam at Stubs, the writer
hopes. if it is remarked at this time that
Governor Stubs infrequently wore gum
shoes in his public endeavor Brass bands
were commonly included in his crusading
equipment, and he was not wearing gum
shoes in the crusade to which reference is
herein made
In an article written for a syndicate OF
Kansas papers, House expressed his opinion
that there was a degree of bunk, IN the
Stubs crusade. He said too, that there
were many places in the state where little
or no effort was being made to enforce the
liquor laws, and added that he had recently
visited club Gin little town in supposedly
dry territory" where beer was being sold
over bar. When the article was called to
the attention of Governor Stubs, the latter
Immediately directed Attorney General
Dawson to call House before an inquisition
to give testimony regarding the conduct OF
the club at which he had been entertained
House was accordingly summoned in con-
formity with the provisions OF a statute
authorizing the attorney general to summon
witnesses, but he declined to tell the name
of the town in which the club was located
He could have been slightly punished for
this defiance, but Governor Stubs wanted
him sent to jail for contempt of court. He
therefore directed the attorney general to
again summon House, to appear the second
time before "a not unfriendly justice" who
would commit him to jail.
The attorney general refused to obey
this latter direction and the Governor
brought mandamus proceedings in the Su-
preme Court to compel Dawson to
mind. The Supreme Court, after several
months, held that Dawson must do as
the Governor said, and House was
hailed before a selected justice of the peace
in country district near Topeka. He again
declined to tell what Stubs demanded and
he was committed to jail for contempt, but
a writ of habeas corpus overlook the officers
before House had been locked up. How
ever, he was constructively in jail for almost
a year. The habeas corpus proceeding was
not pressed by Governor Stubbs-why,
Stubs has never explained. Maybe his law
yers advised him that he could not win IN
the end. Anyway the Stubs administration
ended with House still enjoying his liberty,
and the whole proceeding was subsequently
dismissed
A Joking reference to this victorious de
6ance of Stubs as making House an avail
able candidate for mayor, is probably re
sponsible for his election. Many people took
it seriously. At first, House regarded his
prospective candidacy as joke. But the
