one who seems to understand that the
sparrow is q nuisance to people. Ever
since man started out on his fateful

and has dominion over everything
that illustrates him or is in his way.
He has carried this disposition so far
that he will even declare war on other
civilized or partially heather folks and
do away with them more or less scien-
tihcally, depending upon the needs OF
the case at hand. If we have ceased

Allen Recognizes A
Kansas Democrat

Henry Allen, in the Wichita
Beacon, December %: Some
comment has been created IN
Washington by the unusually
fine committee assignment which
have gone TO Congressman
Shouse of the Seventh Kansas
District. One of the places on
the important committee on bank
ing and currency was awarded
Mr.. Shouse in addition to several
other important committee as
signments.
No one who really knows Con.
gressman Sbouse will regret
these distinctions. When Con-
gressman Shouse first came to
Kansas a few years ago from
Kentucky and broke into the
state politics through election to
the State Senate there was dis.
position to take him lightly. He
is handsome sort of a thorough
bred Kentuckian who seemed to
be out for a good time. The
=, more the people of Kansas came
ITO know of Congressman Shouse
the more they were forced TO re-
alize that he not only has fine
abilities, but also a serious de-
sire to use those abilities in hon
est public service. If the Seventh
District observes its congress-
man carefully they will soon dis
cover that he is giving them ear
nest, modest, able service for the
sake of the service and that he
has no apparent knowledge as tc
where the grandstand is located.

Sweet Will Be Tried
In Grant County

Dodge City, y,--Archie Sweet will
go to trial at the April term of
the Great county district court
on the charge of killing Nellie
Byers if the present plans of the
Grant county officers are carried
out, according to the Globe.
That is the plan, also, of At
torney General Brewster who
will assist County Attorney H.
w. Stubbs in the prosecution.
Deputy Sheriff Hubert Mccall
of Grant county is in Dodge City
today and said arrangements are
being made for the trial at New
Ulysses, the Grant county seat.
The plan to try Sweet in Grant
county may be changed by Sweet
if he should decide to demand a
change of venue from the county
in which the crime was com NIT
ted. So far he has given no in
timatlon of asking any change of
venue, nor does he exhibit much
interest in the trial so far as can
be judged by his demeanor. He
told Mr.. Mccall today that he
had not yet engaged an attorney
and has no funds to hire one.
When he goes to trial and the
courtappoints lawyer to defend
him the attorney may ask a
change of venue, but all arrange
ments will be made for the trial
in Grant county,
Sweet displays no apprehen-
sion about returning to the coun
ty for trial in spite of the deep
feeling aroused against him by
the crime and the fact that what
evidence the authorities have
points to him as the guilty man.
He refuses to discuss the case
beyond maintaining that he is in.
nocent and knows nothing about
the murder. He still admits
that he saw the school teacher in
the pasture few minutes be.
fore she met her death. For
several weeks he was kept in
solitary confinement on the Sec
ond floor of the jeil, but now his
forme quarters are occupied by
some Mexican female prisoners
and Sweet is IN the "bull pen''
with half dozen Ford county
prisoners.

thing marred IT. There was one man who had
on shoes and only one spur. He wore a black
hat and had no gloves He was entirely out
