NEW WEDDING RING.
To Be Up to Date Your Ring Must Be
Double.

Double.
For the autumn bride there is a new
sort of wedding ring. To the casual
eye it appears - be Just the ordinary
gold %circlet, heavy yet narrow. as fash
ionable wedding rings are now. An
adroit twist of the fingers, however.
and, behold, the ring becomes two
rings, the rounded edges at the outer
side and a fat surface within. On this
fat surface the bridegroom may have
engraved a secret inscription of senti.
ment, which nobody but the bride-and
himself. of curse will ever be able to
read unless somG one discovers the
trick of opening the ring. The best
wedding ring is Of fourteen carat gold,
heavy and solid and not too wide.
Very wide wedding rings have gone
out of fashion, and the modish band Is
narrow and well rounded at the outer
side. A ring of eig hteen carat gold has
q beautiful color, but will not wear as
well as the fourteen carat ring, and, of
course. a ring that Is removed
from the hand IL apt to have hard
usage, to come into contact with sur
faces that would scratch or dent any
metal not very tari in itself.

HUGHES OR WILSON,
ROOSEVELT'S ANSWER

against Mr.. Wilson's COM
bination of grace In elocution
with futility in action; against
his record of words unbacked by
deeds or betrayed by deeds, we
see Mr.. Hughes rugged and I'M
compromising straightforward
ness of character and action in
every Office he has held. We
put the m a who thinks and
speaks directly, and whose
words have always been made
good, against the man whose
adroit and facile elocution is
used to conceal his plans or his
want of plans. The next four
years may well be years of ire
mendous national strain. Which
of the two men do you, the
American people, wish at the
helm during these four years;
the mar who has been actually
tried and found wanting, or the
man whose whole career In pub
lie Office is a guarantee of his
power and good faith? But one
answer is possible; and 1t must
be given by the American people
through the election of Charles
Evans Hughes as President of
the United States.

NOT AN EiGHT-HOUR LAW.
Recent Hold-Up Legislation Does
Not Shorten Workday a
Minute.

AS a matter of fact, 1t Is not
an eight-hour law at all. It does
not curtail the trainmen's work
day by a single minute. If an
engineer has been receiving So
for working ten hours a day, this
law will raise his pay to 1925;
but 1t will not shorten his work
day even the tenth part of a sec
ond. This is nc more like the
true eight-hour principle than
chalk Is like cheese.
The reason why people call
this an eight-hour law is be-
cause 1t says that in the case
Of railroad trainmen they shall
get their days pay for the first
eight hours work, and all the
rest is to be considered over
time.
Do not tell me that this strike
could not have been called off or
postponed If President Wilson
had shown that he meant bust
ness. l do not for one minute
believe that those four brother
hood leaders started the blaze
going without knowing how to
put it out. One Of them adj
mitted that he could put it out
SO far as his own brotherhood
was concerned, but that his fol-
lowers would think that he had
gone back on them If he were
to do so.-Statement of Con-
gresham A. 2. Gardner.

Soon after Mr.. Hughes was nomi-
mated a friend said to him Governor,
If the American people forget the Next
a disgrace they do not deserve to
have you for President" Quick as a
flash he replied: 1.-The candidate who
lodges the Mexican disgrace does not
deserve to be President" He did not
pass around his address of acceptance
for compliment or criticism in ad-
n of its delivery but the amount
of space he devoted to the Mexican
disgrace-"that confused chapter of
blunders"-surprised no one who had
talked with him since his nomination.
1t has been In his mind and on his
mind more than any other single prob
lem with which Mr.. Wilson has pal
tered. To talk with him is to see at once
the reality Of his indignation over the
heartless name in which American
men, women and children, American
citizens, soldiers and sailors have been
abandoned by the Administration along
and across the Rio Grande, the vic
tins of Mexican armed forces, outfit
ted with American ammunition and
American rifles, Mexicans whom Mr..
Wilson has coddled one day as pa
triOts only to chase the next as
bandits.
1t Is apparently the belief of Mr..
Wilson that the people of the United
States are not interested in Mexico.
His defenders have declared that 1t

Mr.. Hughes has a better opinion of his
fellow c~ountrymen. He has proved
himself a better judge of their feelings.
He has made "the Mexican disgrace"
a foremost issue of his campaign. He
has assaulted the record of the Admin
istration in that respect In almost
every speech he has made. He has nev-
er failed to strike | responsive chord
In the hearts of his audience, whether
speaking in Carnegie Hall, New York,
from the platform of his train at
Grand Forks, North Dakota, to a vast
audience at Portland, at the EXPOSE
ton at San Diego or in the praiv {
states of the Middle West. He has re-
futed the SANDER, sometimes heard In
the effete East, that the people of the
great West do not care what happens
to their fellow citizens in Mexico or
to the flag beyond the border. No
man born In the West has a firmer
faith in the fundamental patriotism
and dominant Americanism' of the
people of that section than Mr..
Hughes. He holds them responsible
in large measure for the encourage
ment and support he received while
Governor of New York in his war
upon political graft and political boss
ism. He thinks they had much to do
with conscripting him as the cham
pion of nationalism in the current cam
paign. He showed his confidence in
their practical idealism when he made
the Mexican disgrace" an uppermost
issue of his campaign. He has been
indicated by the response his arraign-
ment of the Administration on this
score has everywhere evoked. From
Maine to California "the Mexican dis
grace" Is a sore subject with red
blooded Americans today. But no.

then east two miles to the county
line. This route is known as the
White Line. and is nearly the same as
the old California trail of seventy
years ago. 1t goes through the village
of Big Springs and within two miles
of Lecompton, from which lateral
road could be built.
The other possible route is the
Golden Belt road, on the north side of
the river through Granville, Perry
and W1lliamstoWn. East of Lawrence
the road may go south of the river
through Eudora, Desota and Holiday,
from which point road into Kansas
City, Kansas, is already peJlElOned LOT
other routes from Lawrence are on
the north side of the Kansas river
through Linwood and Bonner Springs,
which is now Joined to Kansas CITY
by a rock road, or from Lawrence TO
Tongancxie, and then east into kan
sas City A concrete road is already
petitioned for from Tonganoxie to the
Leavenworth rock road out of Kansas
City and a petition is half completed
for the road from Lawrence to Ton
ganoxia. East of Lawrence three
cornered fight is in progress between
DeSoto, on the south side and Bonner
Springs and Tonganexie north OF the
river, for the first paved road from
Lawrence. West of Lawrence the
fight is between the south side route
and Granville, Perry and Williams
town.
Southern Route Favored.
Topeka men appear to favor the
southern route to Lawrence for the rea-
son that it will serve a territory fartn-
est from a railroad and in much great
er need of a hard surfaced road. II
will greatly enlarge Topeka's retail
trade territory and work great in
crease in land values
The Hodges law, which is the only
statute under which this road can be
constructed. provides that sixty per
cent of the property owners who OWL
fifty per cent of the land in the pro-
posed district may petition for the
Improvement of the road. When the
road is built one-fourth of the cost
is taxed to the township through
which the road passes and the remain
der to the property in the benefit dis
trict. The county commissioners may
paw part of the cost if the road is of
general utility. The Shawnee county
board has promised to pay one-fourth
of the cost of such roads. This leaves
but half of the cost to be paid by the
benefit district.
Cost Would Be Light.
On road such as this the district
could extend from one to two miles
on each side of the road, and the cost
be apportioned according to the dis
lance from the road With a two mile
district paying for a road costing ten
thousand dollars per mile in ten year
payments, as the law provides. the
first half mile would pay IA cents per
acre, the second half mile 80 cents per
acre, the third half mile % cents per
acre, and the fourth half mile II cents
per acre. This amounts to but little
more than the usual county and town
ship road taxes. The proposed Red
Line route passes through Topeka,
Tecumseh and Monmouth townships
thus dividing the cost of the road
equitably.

By stepping forward and building

promised development of automobile
traffic, consider it fully as important
as a main line railway.
The first route along which petit
tons for the road will be circulated is
the Red Line. 1t runs past Topeka
cemetery to a point three miles east
of Kansas avenue, then south two
miles, where it joins a road running
two miles east from Highland Park.
Then the road runs east another mile,
south two miles. and east through
Watson five miles to the Douglas

runs east into Lawrence. Another

Take me back I will promise
Never leave home again.
PART II.
Gee! Its a great to be soldier,
In God, for saken land.
There the sun shines On the rocky hills,
And reflects back from the sand
There the big buzzard sails on high,
And the peaks shout back defiance
At the blazing noon day skies.
There the stones have an angry glitter
And the moon seem to fade away
Where there's naught but desolation
Even the cactus grow and steams,
And everything else dries and winters
From the hot winds that black and
browns
There the gilamonster lie and wait
To nail US as we hesitate.
There centipedes and scorpions lay for US
And water that they give US is full of
alkali.
PART III.
Oh! Its great to be a soldier
Where the sun is always shining.
Even the coyoutes refuse to stay,
Where the rattlesnakes glide through
the bushes,
And hide beneath tae rocks from the sun.
Where the Jack rabbits sinks in the
gulches
And starve one by one
In the land that good for nothing
Where everything is silent and vast.
Echoes back bugles blast,
The bushes are so small and stunned,
And weather is always hot,
But we don't much mind the weather.
Everything would be all right
It sure would relieve our feelings
Il they'd only let US fight.
