Send MONEY here
Eastern People Are DepOsiting
in Banks of Kansas.
State Guaranty Law the Mag
net That Draws Them.
MANY LETTERS OF INQUIRY
Are Being Received by the State
Bank Commissioner.
They Began Coming Fully Six
Months Ago.

Thousands of dollars of eastern
money is being sent to Kansas banks
as a result of the state bank guaranty
law, according to a statement today by
w. F. Benson, state bank commission
er. Some of the big eastern manufac-
turing companies and war munition
concerns, as well as wealthy individ-
uals in eastern cities, now carry ae-
counts in state banks operating under
the bank guaranty act.
With the war price prosperity that
has struck the east, financiers and in
Vestors in New York, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey. Massachusetts, and other
states are looking for places to put
their money. Until they have placed
their cash in substantial Investments,
they want safe and sound banking
facilities. So KanSaS-the state which
once paid mortgage interest coupons
to eastern money lenders-is now af-
fording guaranteed banking opportuni-
ties to the easterner with money to
deposit.
Benson were three letters from east
ernerS-two men and a woman-each
with a bunch Of real money to deposit.
They wanted names of guaranteed
state banks-in kansas-where their
money would be safe until they wanted
to use it.
Coming for Six Months.
Yet todays inquiries were nothing
new to the state banking department.
For more than six months they have
been coming-requests for lists of
guaranteed banks, applica tons for
references and explanations of the
operations of the bank guaranty act.
Almost every applicant, Benson be-
heves, has sent money to Kansas on
time or call deposit,
Kansas banks have thousands of
dollars of eastern money sent here
for safe Keeping said Commissioner
Benson. almost every day we re-
ceive letters from some individual or
corporation in eastern states asking
about the guaranteed banks of this
state and it is impossible to calculate
with accuracy the amount of money
sent to Kansas for deposit from other
states.
MANY big eastern manufacturing
concerns. munitions plants and indi-
viduals are among depositors in Kan
sas banks. 1t is a big boost for the
Kansas banking law and an added
prosperity to the Kansas banks. 1t
is the best testimonial of the standing
of our banks in other states 81
During the last twelve months
many new banks have come under
the state bank guaranty act. A list OF
the banks operating under the dagw
has been prepared by the state bank
commissioner and has been supplied
to eastern investors on request.

Elk county man make a formal an
nouncement. In fact the announce
ment breaks all the state records
There are no obituary phrases and no
lengthy self-laudatory statements in
announcement.
II have decided to make the race
for the Republican nomination for
state auditor" Organ told his friends
today. Then he sent much the same
statement to a bunch of friends in his
home county and similar announce
ment to supporters in other sections
of the state. Organ will make an
active fight for the nomination and
will enter the campaign with many
strong and able supporters.
Since coming to Topeka four years
ago Organ has made an excellent rec
ord as assistant state auditor. He has
come in personal contact with city Of
ficials in every part of the state and
his knowledge of detail in the work of
the office has made him a most valua-
BILE state employee.
Organ has lived in Kansas since
1870 and in 1902 was admitted to the
practice of law. He has served as
clerk of the court, deputy county
treasurer and county attorney of Elk
county and the voters in that section
of the state have lined up for Organ
in manner that promises to give him
most of the votes in the district
Because he has never been in the
class of professional politicians, Or
gan has been but little in the lime
light of statewide politics. His abil-
ity and integrity, however, have won
him a substantial place in the esteem
of persons who come in touch with
state departments and will insure him
strong following in the primary
campaign.
They Don't Want Thompson.
If William H. Thompson, United
States senator. really has a desire TO
succeed the late Justice Lamar on the
United States supreme bench, he must
look TO the Republicans and Progress
sives for help. Democrats are not dis
posed to boost for his appointment.
And there is a reason.
Assuming, of course, that Thompson
We're really a serious, honest to good
ness candidate and a probability, there
IS one underlying reason why Senator
Thompson could not win Kansas Dem
ocratic support. That is because he
would be required to resign as senator.
OF course another senator would be

SLAIN GIRL UNKNOWN
Cleveland Police Shake-Up Results
Over Bungied Murder Case.

Cleveland, o., Jan. 19.-Following
publication of statements by Mayor
Harry L. Davis that the Cleveland po-
lice department bungled in handling
the murder of a 19-year-old girl
known as Dolores Evens, an actress,
who was strangled in a hotel here last
week, Chief walker of the detective
bureau resigned today. Police Chief
Rowe denied that Walker quit because
Mayor Davis promised shake-up in
the detective force for permitting the
slayer of the Evens girl to get out of
town.
Louis Bianchetti, now under arrest
in New York, has been indicted here
for numbering the actress. Cleveland
officers, in New York to bring him
back for trial, are expected here to-
morrow.
The identity of the girl was still
mystery today. What was thought to
be positive identification of the body
by A. NJ Rossow of GarrettsviIle,
Ohio, as his aughter-in-Iaw, failed.

AT The THEATERS
Friday at Grand.

That inimitable and resourceful
comedian, Salem Tut Whitney, is to
appear in a brand new musical comedy
Friday at the Grand. The play is en-
titled George Washington Bullion
Abroad" and from all accounts it is
the best play this well known fun
maker has appeared in since he be-
came a popular favorite.
september Morn.
september Morn that entertain
ing model in musical comedy, comes to
the Grand Saturday matinee and night,
almost direct from the LaSalle opera
house, Chicago, the home of its
phenomenal run of 256 consecutive
performances, and will be presented
here for the second time under the
direction of Martin and Lemle, the
producers.
At the Hip.
1.-The Village Schoolmaster,'' which
the Oliver Players are presenting at
this theater the first half of this week,
is proving to be the best liked play
that this company has so far present
ed here. the last performance takes
place tonight Starting Thursday
night Traffic in Souls will be pre-
sented. This play has been seen in
pictures but never as a play. 1t is a
very frank white slave story. Owing
to the nature of the play children I'M
der the age of 16 years will not be
admitted unless they are accompanied
by their parents.
At the Iris.
Critic Blaisdell, reviewing the play
at the Iris tonight, says:
The Golden Chance goes right IN
to the class from which viii be Sc
lected the best picture of the year.
Director De Mile was in cha rye. He
had a fine story, a fine cast, an ex-
celleEt camera man, and laboratory
people who knew, their business The
natural result of this rare conlbina ton
is a picture of rare quality. This
Paramount picture possesses the big
gest drawing qualities of any we have
seen in u long time.
There are many points in the pic
ture which deserve fuller comment
than our space permits. The artistic
use of tinted close-ups to emphasize
the best work of the stars is one of
them. Perfection is made up Gf trifles
and all the trifles of THE Golden
Chance are as perfect as need be.

POLITICAL ACTION. q The

POLITICAL ACTION. - The hy-
phenites, the labor element and the
radicals seem lost as to how to
vote or whether to vote this fall The
campaign keynote has been struck,
AmeTiCanism. In a large sense this
is good. Ideal Americanism is ideal
democracy; but both are ideals. The
stage American" of Europe has
been shown as a rich, rather vulgar,
outstanding and staggering indiEid-
ual. This also is good, but it also is
an ideal, a stage ideal. I wish we did
swagger and upstand
So between threadbare bunk and
idealism prefer the idealism. 1t is
better, in reaction, for the bodily Sc
CretiOns, if nothing more. We are
not going to do anything that is not
already foreordained (for want of a
more accurate term and as we usu-
ally act without logic, we may, with
out planning it, cast a good, big pro-
test vote for the Socialist party.
Such a vote would be a stimulating
pOTtent to many of us. In the after
math we should find two, three or
maybe a dozen Socialist congress-
men elected.

Frank R. Walsh, one of the best
twO-fsted ITishmen that ever came
down the pike, said that while the
enactment of laws does not guaran-
tee their enforcement, the repeal of
laws insUres their notification. It
was one of the biggest ideas on this
subject that ever came to my atten-
ton. It may be noted that when a
rebel is to be tried at law he i'm
mensely appreciates the least red
tendency in the trial judge.

to have any sense to it necessarily; it !
must be in1exible But we have a
reason to expect discretion in its ad-

allow no newspaper to control his
policy in the conduct of his admins
tratiOn. And, consequently, he has
incurred their enmity? have heard
his honor defend his course of action
in public addresses, accounting for
