SETTLING DOWN NOW
Kansas Turning to Hughes Says Mrs.
Lila Day Monroe,

The settling down stage has been
reached in the presidential campaign
and. the swing is toward Hughes in
Kansas. That is the judgment of Mrs
Lila Day Monroe of Topeka, who has
returned from a trip thru the Fourth
district, where she met many women
and heard expressions of many voters
Last Saturday Mrs. Monroe talked
to two large crowds in Burlington,
Coffey county The meetings were
old-time Republican revivais and Mrs.
Monroe returned to Topeka with new
nope and enthusiasm for the cause in
this state.
Conditions as I found them were
simply fine" declared Mrs Monroe.
1T seems that the settling down stage
has been reached and the voters are
turning to Hughes and the Republican
party. The hysteria about keeping us
out of war is not disturbing the wo-
men as was evident a few weeks ago
and 1 found the trend decidedly to-
wards Hughes for president"
On the train to Burlington one DEM
ocrat woman insisted on a poll of the
train.
When the votes were taken" said
Mrs Monroe, "one Republican woman
reached over and said she would read
the votes while the Democrat woman
kept tally OF course she couldn't re-
fuse. So the votes were counted And
of those who voted, sixteen had voted
for Hughes, while eight voted for Will

VAWTER NOT GUILTY
Jury Exonerates Man Accused OF At
tack on School Teacher.

1t took the jury just an hour and
forty minutes late Saturday afternoon
to reach a verdict of mot guilty in
the Vawter-Curran case. 1t acquitted
Alfred Vawter, the young Shawnee
county farmer, of the charge of at
tempted assault brought against him
by Miss Bertha Curran, teacher at the
Waveland school.
Miss Curran was not in the room
when the jury came in at $40 o'clock.
Few of her friends were there. But
Alfred Vawter, his wife. his two little
children, his widowed mother and
many friends were there. There was
absolutely no demonstration, due. to
the forethought of Judge A. w. Dana.
When the jury filed in the foreman
handed the verdict to Judge Dana. He
looked it over and perhaps uninten-
tionally tipped off, its contents by
notifying the crowd, composed almost
entirely of Vawter's friends and rela-
tives, that there must be no demon
stration. Then the verdict was read.
Judge Dana held up his hand for sill
ence and everyone sat quietly until he
closed court Then people made a rush
for the Vawters and they made a rush
for the jury. There was much hand
shaking

HODGES AT ENTERPRISE.
Former Governor Makes Address
Senator Howe Well Received.

Enterprise, Kan, Oct. 30-Former
Governor Hodges made his first ad-
dress in the campaign here. A good
crowd was present despite the in
clement weather. Governor Hodges
told of the wonderful achievements of
the Wilson administration, and urged
his reelection on the grounds that
Wilson stood for the common people
while Hughes represented the big in
terests.
Governor Hodges also exposed the
inconsistencies of the CappersadQinis-
tration and told how he had increased
taxes twice, added twenty-seVsn new
jobs and paroled men like VBissell,
Stalnaker and Stuckey who had COM
mitted crimes against children. He
was sorry he said that the insane had
to sleep on the floor and that the
money that should be used to care for
the unfortunate had been used by
Capper to pay lot of attorneys whom
he could use in the campaign.
Senator ]. w. Howe made a short
talk and was given fine reception.

THOMAS FOR HUGHES
Well Known Topeka Democrat De-
nounces President Wilson.

Frank S. Thomas of Topeka, has
again denounced President Wilson's
administration. This time Thomas at
lacks the presidents policies permit
ting the Issuance of a three hundred
million dollar loan to so-called bank
rupt war nations of Europe. At fire.
quent intervals during the last few
years Thomas has criticised the Wilson
administrat ton for its policies in hand
ling the Mexican situation.
Some months ago, when Thomas
fired a broadside at the Wilson policy
in Mexico, Thomas was asked to re-
sign as a member of the Shawnee
county Democrat committee. The re-
quest started a bitter fight among
members of the committee, but did
not check the Thomas criticism of the
president In his most recent state
ment Thomas declares the loan to Eu-
ropean nations cannot and will not
be paid on a gold basis. 1.-The chances
are said Thomas, that all interest
that is paid will be by some species of
fiat money!

with you to your pharmacist and ask
him to open a 50-cent case of Pape's
Diapepsin and let you eat one 22-grain

mer misery.
The correct name for your trouble
is food fermentation-acid stomach
food souring; the digestive organs be-
come weak, there is lack of castle

appetite, pressure and fuIlness after
eating, vomiting, nausea, heartburn,
gripping in bowels, tenderness in the lit

stipation, pain in limbs, sleeplessness,
bleching of gas, biliousness, sick head

other similar symptoms.
If your appetite is tickle, and moth

you feel bloated after eating or your
food lies like lump of lead on your
stomach, you can make up your mind
that at the bottom of all this there is
but one cause-fermentation of undi-

Prove to yourself in five minutes
that your stomach is as good as any;
that there is nothing really wrong.
Stop this fermentation and begin eat

Jump from Bed
in Morning and
Drink Hot Water
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast.

Why is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous. respondent,
worried; some days headachy, dull and
unstrung; some days really incapaci-
tated by illness
If we all would practice inside-bath-
ing, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands of
half-sick, anaemic looking souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should
see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy
checked people everywhere. The rea-
son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day of all the waste
which it accumulates under our pres
ent mode of living. For every ounce
of food and drink taken into the sys-
tenn nearly an ounce of waste material
must be carried out, else it ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poiSonS
which are absorbed into the blood.
Just as necessary as it is 10 clean the
ashes from the furnace each day, be-
fore the fire will burn bright and hot
so we must each morning clear the in
side organs of the previous days ac-
emulation of indigestible waste and
body toxins. Men and women, whether
sick or well, are advised to drink each
morning, before breakfast, a glass of
real hot water with a teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate in it, as a harm
less means of washing out of the stom-
ach, liver, kidneys and bowels the in
digeStible material, waste, sour bile
and toxins; thus cleansing, sweeten-
ing and purifying the entire aIimen-
tary canal before putting more food
into the stomach.
Millions of people who had their
turn at constipation, bilious attacks,
acid stomach, nervous days and sleep
less nights have become real cranks
about the morning inside-bath. A
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
will not cost much at the drug store,
but is sufficient to demonstrate to
anyone, its cleansing, sweetening and
freshening effect upon the system

GORDON ON POLITICS
First Baptist Pastor in Series of ''Pre-
parednesS Sermon.

The Rev. Robert Gordon delivered
the first of a series of three sermons
on Political Preparedness" last night
in the First Baptist church. The sub
ject of his first sermon was The Nee
essity of Keeping Alive the Heroic
Spirit in the Republic" He urged the
necessity for decisive choice and con-
viction in political matters.
DR.. Gordon said in part:
Mobilization of the spirit is the
foremost need of this hour in Amer
lea. 1t is clear as Pixies Peak there
must be a revival of genuine patriot
ism. Every church should in these
strategic days become a recruiting
station for those who shall be ready
to do disagreeable public duty and to
live, and if need be, die for democracy.
THE men who founded this nation
risked all for their convictions. The
signers of the Declaration of indie
pendence knew they would all be
hanged if their cause failed. They
dared death. This republic cannot
survive if that spirit dies out. All
that gives US the right to the high
name American is blood-stained and
can only be preserved by those who
are ready to pay blood tax.
Love of ease, indulgence, personal
comfort and safety menace America
There can be no progress without
strife. The forces of evil are always
aggressive. There is no country, no
city that has not within it institutions
and men whose hearts are as black as
hell. That means a fight if the right
is to prevail. God pity us if we be-
come so cffeminate we will not oppose
devilish antagonisms. A timid Christ
ian is an anachronism; a cowardly
American is a monstrosity.
"Quit you like men. Think to con-
illusions. Understand the implications
of Christianity and Americanism.
Have some convictions. Don't wobble
Nothing could be more contemplate
than the creature that everlastingly
flutters. Settle down somewhere. Ar
rive at a verdict and announce it. Take
sides. Stand and stand up. You are
needed. Outwardly America never
was more prosperous but men who
weigh their words are saying there
has not been a darker hour since Fort
Sumpter was fired upon.
To-day the best blood in Europe is
being poured out in crimson tides.
Without murmuring or complaint,
men by the million are dying for a
great cause. Can any man at this hour
fail to hear the summons to sacrificiaI
service, the call to call to dare and
do"

the state public utilities commission
and Governor Capper. Mr.. McAuliffe
appointed John Tromble, Beloit and
r. A. Laugh of Osborne as his asso-
ciates on the committee.
Committees on resolutions reported
that Kansas railways are not only re-
fusing to furnish to the unions CO.
operative elevators, cars for grain, but
are leasing terminal elevators owned
by the railways to big grain corpor-
ations and furnishing them with cars
to move the grain. This condition,
they declared forces members of the
union to sell wheat to the trust ele-
vators to meet current expenses when
their own elevators are packed full of
wheat which cannot be moved because
of the railways refusal to give them
cars. All the resolutions recommended
by the committees were adopted.
Charge Restraint of Trade.
The members of the union went on
record as favoring a closer state and
national organization, declared that
they were being imposed upon by or
ganized corporate interests, and auth
orized the chairman of the investiga-
ton committee to hire an attorney and
go before the governor and the public
utilities commission to see if there was
not some way that the car situation
could be relieved.
L he Iuetu pefS OIL the dSSOCldtlOH
adopted a resolution charging the rail-
ways with restraint of trade in refus-
ing cars to the society's cooperative
elevators and asked that the legisla-
ture in it's next session pass laws to
overcome the evil.

ufacture and distribution of the sup
ply of raw materials and thereby keep
within the borders of the state the
fruits of her own product. This in
terest in agriculture has resulted in
the election, for many years past, of
legislators who were not primarily in
terested in the use of the surplus funds
that are sure to accumulate in the
banks of a farming state for factories.
Laws have been passed adding
needless expense and hindrance to our
Industrial growth.
The hindrance to the growth of in
dustries in Kansas in the form of ex-
cessive insurance, freight and express
rates and unfair legislation has
brought about the permanent organ
ization of the employers of the state
known as the Kansas Employers asso-
citation.
The association was organized at a
convention of business men from all
over the state last March and since
has had a rapid growth.
Ira Clemens of the Clemens Coal
Co, Pittsburg, is president, W. G.
Dickie of the Kaw Paving Co., Topeka,
is vice president, H. K. Brooks was
temporary secretary until recently
Roy H. Hope, OF Topeka, formerly
with the Farmers National bank, and
we'll known in Washburn college and
law school circles was elected perma-
nent secretary with headquarters in
the Mulvane building.
1.-The association works in co-opera-
ton with twenty-five other organiza-
tons of its kind in other states" said
Mr.. Hope today. THE organiza ton of
various interests from every industry
and from all parts of the state for
the common good, will undoubtedly
result in an important service and
remedy many evils Thru the strength
of these organizations in other states
many industries have been promoted
and protected and several hundred
thousand dollars saved each year to
their members.
What Kansas needs more than
anything else just now is officers and
leaders who are men of integrity and
influence who know and care about
her industrial development, who can
show wherein certain measures are
bad and others good, whereby, the
legislature can really exert a helpful
influence upon business at the same
time fully safeguarding the public
thus conducting to the prosperity and
well-being Of the whole state"
