SWENDSON IN RACE
Former Councilman, Announces Can
didacy for Board of Education.

S. A. Swendson is a member of the
Topeka Chamber of Commerce, has
served as a member of the Board of
Education, and is past commander of
local camp, Sons of Veterans, U. S. A
II am certain" said he, that our
schools are of the greatest Importance
in our system of government. The
best possible education is the inherited
right of every child, and the educa-
ton of the child is the strongest line
of defense of American rights and
liberties.
Yet greater efficiency in all school
work, and economy as rigid as con-
sistent with good service, are import
ant to the patron of The school and the
taxpayer, in the administration of the
affairs of our schools.
The policy advocated by the State
Journal, that of re-electing for an
other term efficient city officers who
are candidates for reelection, is
one that is fair ard right. Such to me
seems worthy of approval. and should
include the two members of the Board
of Education, who are candidates for
reelection. This is a good business
proposition. 1 have no fads, make no
promises and can be guided only by
duty
IF this IS not satisfactory to the
voters, l shall take it as a kindness,
If they will exercise their rights as
American citizens in voting for the
other candidates, as I desire favor for
this unpaid patriotic service only on
the basis as above Olltlined''

Good ROADS PLAN
j. Frank Smith Boosts for Per-
manent Highways.
He Expects to Open Up Perma.
nent Headquarters Here.

The Kansas Good Roads association
has launched campaign which will
cover the eastern section of Kansas
in the interest of a permanent road
construction program. j. Frank
Smith, president of the association,
will be in Topeka tonight to confer
with the good roads committee of the
Automobile club to obtain the CO.
operation OF that organization in pro-
noting the project.
The associations plan contemplates
five-year building program, with the
construction of 5000 miles of perma-
nent roads in the eastern part of
Kansas, connecting all of the import
ant towns and commercial centers-
According tic the plan which the asso-
citation hopes TO put thru, each of fifty
counties will contribute $1,000 a year
for five years. The money is to be
raised by private subscription.
Mr.. Smith, president and general
manager of the recently Incorporated
Kansas Good Roads association will
open offices in Topeka as soon as
funds enough have been pledged to
insure success. From present indica :
tons this means in a short time The
Rotary club. the Automobile club and
the Chamber of Commerce will each
be asked to contribute 500 and com
mercial firms and business and pro-
fessional men will be expected to give
! the rest. Sustaining Memberships
pledging $25 a year for five years it is
anticipated. will easily raise the $1,000
a year which will be Shawnee county S
share of the work
The association believes that while
the legislature at the last session
! passed one of the best sets of road
| laws in any state, the work must be
constantly encouraged by permanent
| Orga niZatiOn with the creation of bet
tier and more lasting roads as it's aim
and purpose.
The present program, the campaign
for which will be launched tonight, i;
the biggest road building program
ever undertaken by any voluntary or
ganization anywhere. The association
believes that with the support of every
good roads enthusiast in Kansas it car
carry out it's contemplated program
| completely.

BICCERS To ''PEN"
Negro Who Killed Game War
den Is Sentenced Today.
Judge Refused to Consider Mo-
tons of His Attorney.

Claude Biggers, the 20-year-old ne
gro who shot and killed John Cox,
deputy game warden, south of Topeka
last fall, was sentenced to life impris-
onment in the state penitentiary by
Judge G. H. Whitcomb today.
James Guy, Biggerss attorney, filed
a motion for new trial on the ground
that the jury was not polled. Judge
lWhitcomb overruled the motion. hold
ing that the jury was asked if the vcr-
dict in the Biggers case was that of
leach and every juryman and that the
answer was in the affirmative. He
held that it was a mere technically
Then Guy moved that the sentence
he stayed on the ground that he. as
attorney, was not in the court room
when the verdict was announced
that also.
Then Guy asked that Biggers be
sent to the state reformatory instead
of his age. Most criminals under TWEEN
reformatory, but Judge Whitcomb
held that the murder of John Cox was
so cold-b1ooded in it's nature that
nothing less than life Imprisonment in
the penitentiary would serve as pun
ishment.
John Cox was killed by Biggers in
the public road south of town after
he had demanded to see Biggers' S
hunting license. He was under arrest
when he fired the shot and neither
Cox nor Biggers's two companions had
any reason to believe that he intended
any violence.
