''CAN'T SAVE NOTHIN' -
Former Legislator Says There's No
Profit in Legislating in Topeka

John r. Ashcroft. who tried it twice
and failed to pile up a profit either
time, would like to return to the leg
islature if it were more remuneratiye
In Topeka today Ashcroft lamented
that the 1917 session was to be held
without his presence. But even in the
face of s1.75 wheat, Ashcroft declared
he could not afford to spend the win
ter in Topeka on the salary OF So
day.
In the sessions of 1911-13, Ashcroft
looked after the interests and welfare
of Graham county in particular and
the state at large in general. He in
troduced several resolutions, present
ed several petitions from an admir1ng
constituency and on three or four oc-
casions made speeches on the floor OF
the house. Once he introduced res
olution and made a speech which con-
cerned itself with some regulation OF
the unholy liquor traffic. On another
occasion Ashcroft presented a resolu-
ton which mentioned that the down
trodden and oppressed farmer should
be able to borrow money at lower
interest rate
Being a Democrat Ashcroft WASH I

ing the 1911 session. That year the
Stubs rule was in force and the

after the welfare of the state them
selves. In 1913, it was different

deuce of a job trying to save anything

prices were simply scandalous and a
cruel and designing landlady charged

times Ashcroft bought stogies for the

ligerent countries .'are heartily sick of
the war"
Mr.. Trevelyan * of the opinion that
the only hope of peace lies in the force
OF public opinion in the United States
and other neutral countries. He pleads
that the great neutrals should consist
emily urge peace, speaking not to the
governments. but to the people with
a voice so loud it would reverberate
across the seas"
The communication from Mr.. Trev-
elyan was made public after a meet
ing of the American neutral confer
ence committee at the Hotel McAlpin-
Among those at the meeting were
Hamilton Holt, Amos Pinchot, Oswald
Garrison Willard, Mrs. ]. Sergeant
ley The meeting heartily endorsed
Mr.. Trevelyan's plan for neutral action
IN bringing the war to close.
After telling about his opposition to
the continuance of the war, Mr..
Trevelyan says:
FOUND erect OF America may be felt
with its unbroken traditions of liberty,
its existing democratic success, its
faith in peace. If in these things it
remains faithful it will not only Sc
cure its own immense destiny but re-
main a beacon to the old nations in
the hour of their agony and despair
Others Are Ready to Quit.
IF I were asked to briefly define
the attitude of the mass of my coun-
trymen, I should say that they are
heartily sick of war. that they are not
aware of the WEAKNESS of the Germans
and the willingness of the German
government to negotiate, and that con-
sequently they regard peace as hope
less and therefore are not prepared to
advocate it.
But if once it were brought to
the consciousness of ordinary English
men that Germany were ready for a
reasonable peace. to adjure her con-
quests and above all to evacuate and
help to compensate Belgium. a rapid
and radical change would appear in
popular opinion at the moment it is
clear that the belligerent governments
will now have mediation.
Those proud governments all
eventually watch and fear public opin-
ion. The art of forming, deluding
changing and engaging public opinion
has been cultivated during the war by
the authorities of every belligerent
country as a principal department of
their activity The hatreds of the
peoples have been cultivated by the
exaggeration of every wrong act and
the suppression of every decent act
of the enemy. for in the last resort
the continuation of the war depends
upon hate.
Get Satisfactory Peace.
IF. however. some voice so loud
that it would reverberate across the
seas, SO important that the censorship
could not exclude it. spoke not to the
governments, but to the people, a
change would begin to come
Suppose that to the British people.
for instance, an American president
were to be able to saw in quite simple
and direct language that Germany was
ready to give up Belgium and France
if the British government would nego-
tiate, first would come a roar of in
dignation from the reactionary Brit
ish press, the government circles

would shudder at the lack of diplo-
matte reserve, there might be no open
response at once.
But from the day of the utterance
public opinion would begin to form
on the irrefutable knowledge that a
peace could be obtained satisfactorily
on the question which was most vital
to the British people.
Great Britain is now aware of the
hope offered to the world by the
presidents free speech and by the ac-
ceptance of the policy by both parties
in the presidential struggle. But our
people do not yet see its bearing on
the conclusion of the war.
1T is security for which the nations
are crying. But what offers security
except this very league of nations
which European statesmen will only
think of as an expedient to be con-
sidered after the war is over?"

Kansas League Discusses Plans tt
Combat News Print Crisis.

Kansas City. Mo-. Dec 5-The
publishers or representatives of
twenty-five daily newspapers pub
lished in Kansas met here today to
consider the unusual condition which
confronts them with respect to the
supply of white paper for the print
ing of their newspapers. They are or
ganiZed as the Kansas Daily league,
and the object of this meeting is to
take some steps looking II an assur-
ance of supply of white paper at
prices at which it would be possible
for them to continue publication.
The small daily publishers have
found. they say, that while most of
the metropolitan newspapers are gem
orally buying their news print paper
for less than 3 cents a pound, the
mills and jebbers are demanding
from a cents to s cents from the
small town publisher and that il is
even difficult for them to get their
paper at those prices, which they say
are more than zoo per cent higher
than they have ever paid before
Existence Is Threatened.

say they regard the situation as very
critical and that it threatens their
