NAMING NO NAMES FRATS ALL RIGHT
The Rev. NJ. L. RObey Scored
Officials Who ParoIed Bissell.
In His Discourse at the Funeral
of Edna DinsmOre.

Mentioning no names, but scoring
the officials who turned Fred Bissell
loose, the Rev. NJ. L. Robey, pastor of
the Second United Brethren church,
delivered a stirring address at the tu-
neral of little Edna Dinsmore, victim
of the lust of the paroled convict. The
parole law is a good thing, admitted
Mr.. Robey, but in this case it was
sadly abused through carelessness or
criminal ignorance. His address in
part follow:
I'VE appreciate this expression of
sympathy and interest. 1t speaks
well for Topeka, but If it is to pass
away in a few days and nothing come
of it for lettering of conditions, To-
peka has failed to learn the lesson she
should from this awful tragedy.
This funeral today is not family
affair, it belongs to Topeka. 1t was
a citizen of this city, whose record is
as black as hell and whose past must
have been known to many of its clt1-
zens, or how did the record get into
the papers so soon after the tragedy
occurred
IF this sentiment does not result in
a crusade of elimination from our city
of such characters, (and God knows
we have enough of them yet If they
thought they dared to do so without
being found ouD, as make 1t unsafe
for our daughters to walk the streets
in the sun light or the glare of the
street light I am mistaken in the man
hood and womanhood Of Topeka.
Il am perfectly in favor of a parole
law. 1 think it is a good thing, and
many are deserving of parole, but the
men who paroled this fiend who COM
mitted this crime, whose past record
must have been known to them, or at
least they should have investigated
his record, cannot wash their hands in
innocency- They knew of his criminal
tendencies, and should have refused to
turn such a degenerate loose to COM
nit similar crimes to that for which he
was serving time. Let Us go on record
from this day forward gainSt a repe-
tition of a like offenSe.
Il am glad that the mob did not
get the man the other evening, for
Topeka has enough of a stain on her
fair name without committing the sec
ond. No punishment would be TOO Sc
we're for any fiend who would commit
such a crime, but it is better to let
good judgment assert itself"

WEEKS MARKETS
Many Stocks Recover Declines
They Recently Sustained.
Money Is Plentiful, but Interest
Rates Are Harder.

New York April 29.-In the main,
stocks this week recovered a consider
able part of their declines of the pre-
ceeding period. the more cheerful
lions and broad inquiry for leading
rails being potent factors in the pro-
cess of recuperation.
Rails derived much of their
strength from various statements in
March earnings, some of which We're
extraordinary for their remarkably
gains over the same month of last
year. There seemed, also to be a well
defined belief that seasoned stocks of
this class were selling far under cur
rent money values. The increased
trading in Norfolk & Western were
not without their significance.
War Stock Trading.
War shares and other issues directly
and indirectly related thereto were un-
der restraint at times as a result of
closer scrutiny for their loan values
but with various other stocks rose
from five to ten points over recent
levels.
United States Steel recovered less
proportiOnately than any other leader,
regardless of the record earnings dis
closed by the quarterly statement
Failure of the directors to declare an
extra dividend caused disappointment
in speculative quarters but elsewhere
stability.
Marines Active
Mercantile marines were the most
active and conspicuous of the issues
the preferred retaining its record
price and the common approaching it's
maXimums on an enormous overturn.
Wall street regards it as an accom-
plished fact that Mercantile Marine
now is in control of new and powerful
interests and that the company's sub
stantial earnings of the past year will
be shared by the various security
holders
The shifting phases of the labor sit
uation in their relation to the coal
roads, munitions industry and textile
trade came in for much discussion,
which was more or less futile in the
absence of definite developments
There remains an abundance of mon
ey at all reserve centers but rates
eVince a tendency to harden

London. April 2s.-The Times pub
fishes an account by an eyewitness o.
the Dublin uprising which empha-
sizes the excellent organization CT the
rebels. This account says:
civilians were not molested in the
ST. cts and much of the firing was o.
blank cartridges. There was an effort
to show that the movement was 5t-icJ-
the government, not against the pop
ulace. There was little looting but
cEly sbout ten or twenty shops re
entered. There was no violence
you did not wear a uniform you Were
as safe walking In Dublin streets as
in the streets Of London.
This shows a remarkable differ
ence from the Dublin riots two years
ago when it was not safe for any
BODY to walk in the streets for fear of
violence. There was barbed wire
around the postoffice but the sentinels
made no effort to prevent people who
wished to do so from crawling under
the barriers.

They Receive Hearty Endorse
ment of Stanton Olinger
In Address Before the Phi Delta
Kappa Society.

"'Frats' are all right" declared
Stanton Olinger of K. U. at the meet
ing today of the Phi Delta Kappa edu-
cational fraternity at the Y. M. c. A.

essential to the individual student in

destroy the instinct of association. We
need more fraternities. Every stu
dent should have the advantage of
fraternity life"

on the program today. 1t was taken
from his thesis on the subject which
recently secured him his Phi. d. at
Kansas university. In his investiga-
lions on the subject Olinger extended
a QUESTIONABLE to all of the large
schools of the country; obtaining the
views of professors frat men and
non-fraternity students. His thesis
esta bished the fact that the national
ideas of the fraternity were high and
the general influence and standards
greater and higher.
The program for this afternoon in
cluded a business session; talk by
Avery Olney, president of the K U
Chapter on Discussion of Vocational
Schools" By far the most interest
ing talks was that by Prof r. A.
Schwegler on Methods of Measuring

Prof. w. S. Munroe, professor OF
school administration and director of
Bureau of Educational Measures and
Standards at the Emporia State Nor
