o<( L
Constitutional convention
talk and constitutional convent
ion sentiment is on the increase
around the capital city. Lea
que leaders declare they will
go through with the idea-thnt
they will have to in order to
carry out all their program.
More than eighty members of
the house have signed up for
such a convention but the t
ate is still in doubt. tIany
honest people have an almost
religious fear of tainpering with
the constitution. They forget
that it is only a man made doc
ument and that by men not
any more honest or any more
competent than many men now
living-indeed many Of them
are yet living and we know
them only as human beings.
We would not reflect upon their
honor nor be inappreciative Of
the service they have rendered
But we see fit to make other
laws every two years. WHY
not be permitted to redraft our
basic law at least once in so
years?

Besides conditions have vast
~ changed since our state con
stitution was drawn. Our pop
nlation has greatly increased
and many of them never had a
voice in framing the present
document or adopting it.
When it was drawn we had no
idea that we would ever want
t" manufacture Ignite coal in

have found that we do want to
and the constitution won't let
us. We have found that we
want to manufacture our wheat
finest in the world, into
flour and thus produce the pre-
MUM flour of the world but
our constitution will not let us.
These things were not seen and
realized 80 years ago-could not
have been seen aud realized.
1t Is nothing, therefore, but
plain sense and reason to de-
tnand that we revise our basic
law to fit the needs and require

be a bitter fight within the next

went to Antler and trimmed
the town team to the tune of
81 to II. AS luck would have
it the train was only one hour
late, SO it was possible for
them to get there in time for
a late game. Antler has a
fairly large floor and the cell
ing is high. The Forestry
men took advantage of this
fact and shot a number of
pretty loop shots. Antler
had made preparations for
the game, and the treatment
received from them was of
best sort. In order to make
the game vas too one sided to
be interesting as the Forestry
had rs points before their op-
ponents scored and kept up a
fast pace turnout the game.
Fairweather was the star for
Ant1er, getting 7 out Of the ii
points. The Forestry guards
kept their men smothered and
their center and forwards, with
their team work were too much
and shot almost at will.

SWEDEN'S ECONOMIC
MISSION IS PEEVfD
Mail Inspected at British En-
bassy and Another "Lux-
burg Affair limited

Washington, Oct. 16. = Sweden
economic mission may be withdrawn
from Washington, Swedish officials de-
clared today, because their diplomatic
pouches are detained at the British m
bassy.
Unofficial hints are that the mail
may contain secrets rivahng the Lux
burg affair. The Swedish representa-
tives claim the pouches contain princi-
pally food statistics. They display
further indignation because they are
denied the privilege of cabling their
foreign office in code.
While no official stand has been
taken, the Swedes have been informed
that they san have no serious objection
to opening the mail in presence of
"harmless."
"This is an indignity," one Swedish
official said today, "to which we will
not submit. 1t is absolutely essential
to the success of our negotiations with
the American war trade board hat we
communicate eonfidentially with the
Swedish foreign office"
A cloak of secrecy has been thrown
around the diplomatic pouches by the
British embassy here since the mails
were taken off a steamship at Halifax
several weeks ago.
Swedish Minister Ekingren gave
Cousellor Polk assurances today that
the mail contained no Luxburg disclos-
ures. The seals IN the packages have
not been broken.
British officials stated that the
pouches are being held because it is de-
S red to clear up the somewhat
dubious" Swedish diplomatic situation
since the Luxburg affair. If the mail
is found to be all Sweden claims the
effect will react doubly in Sweden 5
favor, they pointed out.
Ambassador Spring-Rice has asked
London for instructions. A precedent
was cited by British official in a recent
inspection of Swedish mail bound from
America to Stockholm. The examina-
ton, made in London in the presence
of Swedish officials, disclosed no ir-
Irregularities.

SEVEN THOUSAND HEAD
Continued from Page One.)

Famed by an east wind, it spread rap
idly and by 4 o'clock had burned over
twenty five acres, being stopped only
when it reached the banks of the Kaw
river. A wooden stock bridge across
the river was partly burned.
More than 10000 cattle and about
10000 hogs were in the yards when the
fire started. Maddened by the flames
and smoke, the animals stampeded,
tearing down wooden fences and
trampling each other. Some of them
were pushed into the river. Stockmen
hurriedly opened all the gates and
steers were allowed to run loose all
over the west bottoms. They are be-
ing rounded up throughout this entire
district today.
Many cattle were smothered when
dense clouds of smoke rolled over the
pens where they were held. Hogs were
literally cooked in the new concrete,
four deck hog pens. Firemen put many
of the pen crazed animals out of their
with guns and axes.
Nearly all the livestocn losses dam
age to the yards is covered by insur-
ance, officials said today. A charge of
ten cents a head is made on each car
of steers entering the yards for insur-
anee, which is kept up by the stock
yards company.
Spectators will be the heavy los
ers, it is believed. The fire started in
the spectators section, where cattle
from shippers by spectators
were penned.

Stop Itching Eczema

Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczema quickly by applying a little zemo
furnished by any druggist for 35c. Extra
large bottle, $1.00. Healing begins the
moment zemo is applied. In a short time
usually every trace of eczema, letter,
pimples, rash, blackheads and similar
skin diseases will be removed.
For clearing the skin and making it
vigorously healthy, always use zemo, the
penetrating, antiseptic liquid. 1t is not a
greasy salve and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable treat
ment for skin troubles of all kinds.

German Officers
Escape From Angel Island

San Francisco, Oct. 16.-What gov
eminent Officials at first believed was
a plot by officers of seized German mer-
chant ships to escape from the gov
eminent internment camp at Angel Is
land was declared by German interned
prisoners to have been merely a lark
by Captain c. Branch and Engineer Lor-
emo Lau.
An alarm was sounded early today
when it was discovered the two men b.
disappeared from the internment camp.
Revenue cutters and other craft search
ed the bay and finally located the two
men as they were landing from a life
boat at the immigration station dock.
Branch and Lau denied any attempt
to escape. They declared they had be-
come lonely ON the island and during
the night had sneaked over to San Fran
cisco to tip a few stems of brew with
friends and to see a show. Federal in
speetors are investigating.

The agitation demanding that Bri-
tain make reprisal for German air
raids grew to a national movement
late in September, when, during eight
days, there were five raids over and
about London. The public 3 insistence
that the government adopt an "eye
for eye and tooth for tooth" policy be-
came 50 formidable that open threats
were made that the Lloyd-George min
istry would fall if such a reprisal pro-
gram were not adopted.
Lord Northcliffe' s newspapers led
in the agitation, pointing out that the
Germans never dared to raid Paris any
more, being aware that if they did
French machines would return three
fold retaliation on German towns.
Announcement that the government
was planning reprisals has not hereto
fore been officially and formally made
bu. leaders have privately acknowl-
edged that the reprisal policy had been
fully determined upon and the recent
organization Of the British aviation
service rave the people an idea that q
comprehensive scheme of this sort had
been formulated.
Heretofore the government has main
tanned that one Of the reasons for the
German raids was the German hope
that England would divert a great
number of machines from the front to
do patrol duty at home, thus permit
ting the Germans in France to regain
something like an equality with the
allies in the air at the battle line.
