Sen. FALL RETALIATES
Mexican Issue Involves "Duty of Gov.
eminent to Its Citizens.''

Washington, Aug. SENATOR Fall
of New Mexico. referring to Lewis as
more like a court Jester than a senator
and his address more worthy of q
political stump than the halls of con-
gress, assailed President Wilson's Mex
lean policy in a sharp reply.
The issue of the coming campaign.
Senator Fall said, would be the duty
of a government to its citizens.
Thousands of American fugitives
from Mexico with wives and children
outraged or killed will confront the
Democratic party with their failure to
protect their own people" said he
You will later change your opinion
that there is no issue involved in this

new job, which carries with it an an
nual salary of $4,000 and expenses,
is perhaps next in importance to a
cabinet position.
When the name of Lobdell was re-
Gently recommended for appointment
to a position On the big loan board.
scores of friends of the Great Bend
banker suddenly took an active inter-
est in affairs at Washington. Every
politician, lawyer and banker in Kan
sas knew LobdelI and the suggestion
of his appointment for place on the
big board met with general favor in
the state. Lobdelis record as sue
cessful banker and jurist equipped him
for the position and it is doubtful If
an appointment in this state in recent
years has met with more general ia
vor.
The Great Bend banker was born
in Kansas and chose to make his ca
reer in this state. He first saw the
light in Butler county and for several
years practiced law in Ell Dorado.
He Went West.
Then Lobdelp decided to go into the
new, western Kansas country. He Sc
lected Dighton as the town in which
he would practice law. That was in
the early SOS. Almost Immediately
Lobdell began to take an active in
terest in political affairs in Lane
county and the big Seventh district
that in those days comprised most of
the southwest country. 1t was in the
old days of the convention system and
Lobde1l was ctive in many of the dis
trict and state conventions that fol-
lowed his removal to Lane county.
Shortly after ne removed to
Lane county. Lobdell was elected to
the state legislature. He served on
the judiciary committee, made a great
record and was recognized as one of
the leaders of the house from the
western country. His ability gained
recognition among members Of the
lower branch of the legislature and
he was later elected as speaker of
the house. During a half dozen ses-
sions of the legislature, Lobdell served
as a member from Lane county. All
the time his law business grew and he
was a man to be reckoned with in
his country.
Enters Newspaper Field.
Late in the COS the newspaper bug
''stung" Lobdell. He went to Kansas
City where he engaged in a newspaper
project for several years. In 1900 he
sold his paper and came to Topeka,
where he directed the speakers bu-
reau for the Republican state COM
mittee. That was Morton Albaugh's
second term as chairman of the state
committee and Lobdell aided Albaugh
in putting Kansas back on the Repub-
lican map after days of sorrow for
Kansas Republicans.
1t was following the 1900 campaign
that the state legislature decided to
shake up the judicial districts. One
of the things which the laWna kers
did was to put a crimp in the judicial
districts in Lobdells former communi-
ty. 4 new district was created and
Governor Stanley named Lobdell as
Judge of the district. LobdelPs rec
ord on the bench won state wide at
tention. Time after time he was re-
elected. until in 1912 he retired to
private life on his own motion.
While Judge of the western district
that included Pawnee, Edwards,
Hodgman and a number of other
counties. Judge Lobdell lived in
Larned. There he became interested

in the banking game. He bought
stock in a bank in Leoti. He bought
stock in another bank in Tribune.
Then he added other stocks and finally
gained a hold on a block of stock in
the Larned State bank. He was elect
ed to the presidency of the institu-
ton and devoted considerable time to
the banking game.
Moves to Great Bend.
Following the death of the late GEN
eral Chapman. however, Lobdell was
urged to accept the presidency of the
First National bank of Great Bend.
Lobdell moved to Great Bend and has
since directed the affairs of the Bar
ton county bank, although he has re-
tanned an interest in number of
Kansas STATE and national banks.
Just as he won recognition as a
lawyer and 5urist, Lobdell suddenly
gained a state wide standing in bank
ing circles. He became known as one
of the most safe and conservative
bankers in the western Kansas dis
trict and his banks grew and pros
pered under his direction. Because
he made the banks grow, Lobdell was
recognized by the big bankers CT the
state. He was elected to the presf
dency of the Kansas Bankers assoc
citation after having held various Of
fices and appointments in the state
organization and is today one OF the
most widely known bankers IN the
state.
Now Lobdell is to try another game.
He is to have a hand in shaping the
policies of the newly created federal
farm loan board. Aside from a cabi-
net position, the appointment is one of
the most important that could come
to Kansas. The appointment of Lob
dell was a recognition of a record that
has made him a power in the banking,
legal and political circles of the state.

USING more WATER
More Than 1900 Sprinkling Permits
- Issued by City.

With $500 sprinkling permits issued
by the water department vince the new
sprinkling order went into effect sew
eral weeks ago, consumption of water
during sprinkling hours has nearly
doubled. For the past two weeks, two
pumps at the waterworks have been
pressed into action every evening to
handle the increased water consump-
ton. Ordinarily one pump is able to
handle the situation.
A record consumption was reached
a few nights ago when for several
hours water was pumped into the
mains at the rate of 100000 gallons
day. Under normal conditions the
average consumption is 100000 gal
Ions per day, according to Commits
sioner Newiand.
Under recent order, consumers
are allowed decreased rates for water
used for sprinkling. 1t must be used
between o'clock and o'clock in the
morning and between the hours of 5
and in the evening.

! HAVE DEPENDED ON OLD
STRAIGHT FOOTBALL
Relieved That the Crimson Will Drop
Some Of Trick Plays and Straight
Football Built Around One Man
for Forward Pass and Other Open
Attack-Haughton Less Enthnsi-
astic Than Assistants.
BY HAMILTON

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-When Har-
ward and Yale clash November 25th In
their annual big football game, the
Harvard coaches may surprise follow
ers of the game by the method of play
they adopt for the encounter.
After years of adherence to trick
formations and smashing attack, and
concentration upon kickers the Har.
ward team has been trying out the
open game this year. The coaches
have been laying more and more
stress upon hidden ball and forward
pass plays, which. in the last few
years have been rather sidetracked
in favor of straight football.
The conservative style of football.
which has been Harvard's since Percy
Haughton took charge Of the team. is
net favored SO greatly by assistant
coaches who have had much to do
with building the team this year and
the open formations probably will get
their share of attention in the big
game. They probably have not been
given the full sanction Of the famous
coach, but he doubtless will give a
large bit of attention to the open
style.
New formations both in attack and
defense, have been used with sue
cess by both varsity and scrub teams
in practice. The almost entirely new
material from which the backfeld
was built this year had made neces-
sary some changes.
Flower and Casey, stars last year
on the freshman eleven, are men
around whom the basis of trick plays
probably will: be formed. The newer
men have had much schooling in scnJ-
lastic years in open formations and
they yield easier to that kind of in
structIon.
Yale's failure to make success OF
the wide open style of attack has not
deferred Harvard's under coaches
from pressing that style of play.

Machine Showing Lustre

the former ''invincible" White Ele-
plants did duty. Chief Bender, after
trip to the Feds, went back to the
city of his first love, and worked the
season for Pat Moran's Philvss. The
Braves held in their tepee no MEM
ber of the famous team on which they
put their trademark in four straight
games two years ago.
But in the two leading clubs of
both National and American leagues
former Mack stars played big part
in keeping them in the race until late
in the season. Bender's assistance to
the Phillies was of the silent kind.
but his work was good at times, and
his advice was admitted by Moran to
be worth while at more than one point
in the race.
