Little Plea for the Rich.

History, even in recent times, shows
as a matter of hard fact that wealth
is not hagrantly misused. Bacon, IN
slyly warning his readers against
those who pretend to despise riches
remarks that no people make worse
use of riches when they acquire them.
And that inexorabie test would be no
more merciful if it were applied to-
day. Those who condemn the rich
would beyond question do more harm
with wealth to themselves and others
than is done now by rich class, OF
whom the greater part have inherited
certain responsibilities, inseparable
from their fortune, or have developed
q self-restraint in the very process
which laboriously built up their cap

Steam PRINTING.

On November 90, 1914, a newspaper
FOR the first time was printed by
steam. Although the application OF
steam power to printing machinery
had been successfully experimental
with some years previously, the hos
tility of the working printers rendered
1t inaGvisable for the masters to intro
6uce such a startling innovation into
their printing houses. Towards the
end Of 1914, however, the growing cir
culation Of the Times made a change
OF some kind necessary, and in the
face Of fierce opposition the second

The tip that led to the real identity
of the man wanted for the Emporia
murder came from Earl Smith. his
pal. who is in the Shawnee county Jail.
He told his story without hesitation to-
day to L. L. Kiene, sheriff, Robert
Miller, detective, and others. 1t is be-
lieved he told a straight story from be-
ginning to end. The matters 1t is pos
sible to verify here have been verified.
Smith denies absolutely that either
he or Cutler had anything to do with
the robbery or holdup in Emporia for
which Cutler was arrested and which
was responsible for the shooting.
Il know that is what made all the
trouble" said Smith, but it is an ac-
tual fact that we had nothing what
ever to do with it. We were at a pic
| ture show at the time 1 have since
learned the holdup took place. 1 did
not even know there had been a hold
up until I had been in Jail for some
time"
Questions were asked about the
picture show and the subject shown
on the screen He told the screen
story in detail The title was "A Mil
lion Dollars" From the facts secured
from Emporia If Smith and Cutler at
tended the show at the time Smith
says they did it would have been i'm
possible for them to have committed
the hold up.
Smith stated today that he met Gull
er at Ration. n. NJ, just six days before
the Emporia trouble. He stated that
Cutler gave his name as Hickey but
that at one time he picked up liick-
! eys key ring and saw the name
! "Culler' punched into it He also
went to the postoffice and secured a
letter for Cutler"

The story Smith tells is that Cutler
proposed that they go into some town
! in Missouri and start a barber shop.
Smith explained that he knew nothing
about barbering. Cutler, he says,
! agreed to pay for course at Kan
sas City barber college If Smith would
take the course. Smith agreed and
they were on their way to Kansas city
when they got into trouble.
| Cutler represented himself at Ration
to be a peddler and he had a lot of
! knives and cheap jeweiry he was sell
ing Smith sold some of the knives
| for half what he secured from the
sales. 1t was Smith who tipped it off
that CulIer's former wife lives In To-

but he overheard Cnller talking to a

and the fact that she lived in Topeka
