ALWAYS STARTING SOME
 THING"

In Harpers' Bazar of many years ago we recall seeing small illustra- tion on the last or funny page that depicted young man and his sweet heart seated on the bank of a stream, angling for fish. A little further up the stream was the proverbial "bad little brother" winding up his fishing tackle as he called out to his big sis :: "Oh, Sister Sue, there ain't no fish biting today-'Spose we all go in swimmin'."
 This reminds us of a certain bad little boy who is always attempting to make something happen in the community to his advantage and be- hoof, no matter how disagreeable or unpleasant it may be for the mature and more conservative citizens of the city. Having recently failed in all egort to reform the Governments cur rency plans, as he did in attempting to have a great railroad corporation make certain improvements wanted by some of his playmates, this bad little boy lately convened all the local sec retaries of Trivial Agairs and re- marked: Say, boys and girls, the sukers have stopped biting; there ain't nothin' tall doing in the stock and obnd market; the Garment Fac tory is in chancery; White river i3 running upstream, and the oil we'll has broke another drill. What der yer say to chartering real steamboat and pulling og shonuff moonlight picnic on the Free Bridge?

 "Why, how do you do, John-this is a surprise!"
 "Isn't it? Why Amy, it must be months since We met"
 "Yes, almost a year, I should say Do you know I've been so busy, and how time does fly when one is busy. But do you know it was just a month or so ago that I was thinking of you, and wondering when we would meet again."
 "Amy! There must be something in this transmission of thought busi- ness after all! It wasn't so long ago that 1 was thinking almost the same thing about you. We did used to have good times together, didn't we?'

CIVIL PROCEEDING
 INVOLVING LIFE
Unusual Legal Complication is Brought to Attention Supreme Court Condemned Man Seeks
 Injunction Against Officials.

Little Rock, July 31.-A civil pro- ceeding involving the life of con- demned man is the somewhat unusu- al complication that has been brought to the attention of the Supreme Court The transcript was filed yeserday in the case of Neal Mclaughlin vs. J. D. Benson, Prosecuting AtAtorney ct al of the 18th Circuit.
 The complaint alleges that "In Sep tember, 1914, plaintiff was tried and convicted upon a charge of assault, although he was not and is not in fact guilty of such crime. As re- suit of such conviction he was then and there sentenced to be put to death by electrocution, mode which is cruel and inhuman, in violation of the constitution and under an act of the General Assembly of Arkansas which is void for that reason and for the further reason that said act is re- pugnant to its terms and was not duly and constitutionally enacted by the General Assembly,"
 For this reason the condemned man sought an injunction against the peni- tentiary and other officials from pro- ceeding further with his execution, and to compel the Prosecuting Attor- ney to give him a new trial July IA Chancellor T. H. Humphreys dismiss ed the suit for want of equity, and an appeal has been taken to the Supreme Court.

TWO BLUEJACKETS
 KILLED BY HAITIES
Americans Fall When Natives Aattack Admiral Caperton's Landing Party.-50O Marines
 En Route to Port au Prince.

washington July oU.-IWO Amorl- can bluejackets were killed last night in an attack by natives on Port au Prince, Haiti, held by Rear Admiral Caperton with 400 men from the crui- ser Washington. The attacking party was beaten off without having ap- preached closer than the outskirts of the city, and order was maintained in the city itself. No sailors were wounded, and the less of the attack ing force was not reported.
 The dead:
 William Gompdrs, seaman, of Brooklyn.
 Cason S. Whitehurst, ordinary sea- man, of Norfolk, Va.
 300 Marines En Route
 Peinforcements had been ordered to Haiti before word of the fighting was received. The battleship Connecticut will sail from Philadelphia tomorrow with regiment of 500 marines. The navy transport Hancock, now at Phil adelphia, will go to Haiti, it is said al though it is not known what force she will take.
 Admiral Caperton's message gave few details of the fighting. It show ed, however, that he had been warned of the intention of the Haitiens to at tack the city, and early in the even- ing Captain E. L. Beach of the Wash ington, commanding ashore, moved his men out to the edge of the city to meet them. The Haitien soldiers and civilians in the city were disarm. ed yesterday.
 The attack came at o'clock, the bluejacket battalion bearing the brunt of the fighting. From the brush be- yond the last houses snipers opened fire on them. The fire was returned and the attackers driven off, but not before Gompers and Whitehurst had been killed. Quiet was maintained in the interior of the city throughout the night.
 Admiral Asked for Help.
 In his message after his arrival lat Port au Prince, when the marines resistence on landing. Admiral Cap 'erton asked for an additional regi- ment of marines. The men were needed, he said, to police the city and surrounding district
 He suggested that the additional marines be sent on the crusier North Carolina or Tennessee, fast ships, in .dictating that he expected some diff culties. These vessels were not avail able. and the department ordered the battleship Connecticut at the Philadel- phia yard made ready to sail tomor- row.
 Secretary Daniels felt no great ap- prehension about the situation. The extra force was sent primarily, he said, to permit short hours of guard duty.
 New Treaty is Aim.
 It is believed certain that during
  the occupation of Port au Prince eff forts to negotiate a treaty with Haiti for the administration of that coun- try's financial affairs by the United States, as was done in San Domingo, will be renewed. It is the purpose of this government to include in such treaty a provision similar to the Platt amendment in the Cuban treaty, whereby the United States would have the right to intervene in the interest of peace.
 It has been indicated that Admiral Caperton's forces would stay in Port au Prince until a government is estab- lished and treaty signed.

We lodged that mistake in Kansas.
Being an agricultural state. we have
prepared for the future and the fac
tories yet to come. They will know
what to expect when rney come Ihey
will not meet oppressive laws, but
laws that will protect the laborer and
the employer"
Then Miss Bresette told of the
creation of the wage commission, the
child hygiene bureau and the work of
the departments.
kansas wants to find out why the
babies die and how to make them
live said Miss Bresette. Through
the hygiene bureau we expect some
great results
Wage and Labor Conditions.
After telling of wage and labor
conditions in Kansas, Miss Bresette
turned her attention again to her fav-
orite topic-smiles.
when 1 meet a really difficult sit
uation, 1 just Smile-although down in
my heart l may be scared to death.
Sometimes, 1 show it, I guess" said
Miss Bresette. But smiles have been
our first line of defense. They have
also figured in our offensive.
"Why the laws which the legislature
gave us last winter would never have
passed had the women used clubs and
hammers and bricks We used every
word of argument we could find. But
we didn't make an enemy. If mem
Der was against our bill, we tried To
reach him through his horue people
Eut more often we reached him
through a smile. And no one will ever
know the number of smiles Kansas
legislators drew last winter"
But the use of the smile was not re-
stricted to the law makers. A few
factory inspectors drew smiles, too.
When Miss Bresette wants some
thing done in Kansas and there is no
law for it, she uses her best argument
with the employer. Then she smiles.
Always there is the smile-win or
lose. Tall. strong, muscular Kansans
have yielded to that smile and when
Miss Bresette pleaded for rest room
for the girls. have offered to install
two rest rooms. And by the same tok-
en-, the use of the hammer and the
club have aroused the fighting blood
Of weak, weakened Jumps of humanity
who have spent thousands of dollars
lighting a welfare law and succeeded
in blocking it's enforcement for years.
"Out in Kansas the women have
voted in but one statewide election"
said Miss Bresette. THAT one cleo
ton, though, has taught us great les
sons. If we are to succeed and make
good, we must be reasonable and fair.
We must not justify the cat express
sion. Nor will we do it if we smile"

CAN PRESCRIBE DOPE?
Wichita Physician Claims He Has
Right Under Federal Law.

Wichita, Kan, July IA new ele-
ment developed here Tuesday against
dealing in narcotics when DR.. G. L.
Katz, a physician at Dunlap's drug
store, voluntarily sought to protect
Luther Sanders, a drug user, by testi-
mony that he had prescribed morphine
for Sanders.
Sanders was under a federal charge
of having morphine in his possession
without a physicians prescription or a
government license.
Paul J. Wall, the physician declared
that he prescribed morphine for sew
eral "dope fiends'' and yet kept within
federal anti-narcotio law. He quoted
at length rulings by federal authorities
on how the anti-narcotic law is to be
interpreted. He said that he kept a
record of all his prescriptions and in
vited federal officials to inspect them
at any time.

They Are Worlds Greatest AS
set, Says Miss Bresette..
Clever Kansas Girl Addresses
Labor Officials at Detroit.
OVERCOMES ALL OPPOSITION
Tells How a Sunny Expression
Is Capitalized.
She Has Recruited a Large
Army of Followers.

Smile. 1t is the greatest asset in
the world. That was what Miss Lima
z. Bresette, Kansas female factory
inspector, told labor officials at the
national convention in Detroit. Then
just to prove her assertion, Miss Bre-
settle smiled and was in high standing
with the men who have studied the
worlds labor conditions.
Out in Kansas smiles have been of
great benefit in factory inspection
when Miss Bresette began her work,
did the clever Kansas woman tell the
men how to capitalize smile, but she
showed them. Then she took up her
own experiences and the fight for well
fare legislation, for cooperation on
the part of factory heads and the eff
forts to secure accommodations for
the working girls when nothing IN the
state law gave the factory inspector
authority to issue or enforce an order.
Out of the disorder of two years ago
when Miss Bresette began her work,
the Kansas woman sees a systematic
campaign in the future-a campaign
that will mean higher type of Wom-
anhood and protection as well as ac-
commodations for the working girl. To
accomplish things, Miss BreSette told
the labor leaders that it was necessary
to overcome the opposition not alone
of the employer, but of the working
girl as we'll Now she has lieutenants
among both classes.
Smiles have done it, Miss Bresette
declares Now every shop owner and

that smile.
when L took up this work, I was
called everything-noSey, cat, old hen,
inquisitive old maid-oh, just the most
awful things that L have tried to for
get" said Miss Bresette who threaten
ed for just a second to weep when she
recalled the prosecutions of her yes
terdays.
Everybody Smiled.
But Miss Bresette didn't cry. In
stead she smiled, and labor officials
being quite human, smiled back. That
created a sort of bond of friendship
and sympathy and Miss Bresette took
a new hold on her speech and told of
the factory work in Kansas story
quite familiar to Kansans- some
thing new to the outside world.
my most active opponents in start
ing this work were the girls" said
Miss Bresette. ''They didn't trust me
1t is different now. There are $4,000
women in Kansas engaged in gainful
occupations and L guess I have about
$4,000 deputies.
I'VE in Kansas believe the women
need more protection than the men.
That is why we have a mothers
pension and similar welfare legisla-
ton.
1.-THE common mistake has been to
give too much attention to the cities
and not enough to the country towns.

BIRDS PREFER KANSAS GRAIN
Pigeons in Agricultural Hall at Frisco
Eating Grain Exhibit.

San Francisco, July kansas
agricultural products have an attrac-
ton all their own.
Over in Agricultural Palace at the
Panama-Pacific Information EXPOSE
ton, f1ocks of pigeons have builded
nests in the domes and rafterS, at
tracted by the numerous displays of
seeds and grain, which offer a YER
table free lunch counter.
And of all the exhibits, that of Kan
sas is by far the most popular with
the birds. Late in the evening, and
early in the morning before the build
ings are open to visitors, the pigeons
gorge themselves on Kansas wheat
and kafir. Iowa's wonderful display
of corn is scarcely touched.
John Ferriter, of Wichita, who is
in charge of the Kansas display, didn't
mind it at first, but as new recruits
were added to the colony, the effect
on the exhibit became appreciable,
and he lodged a complaint. The
pigeons are being exterminated.
