EVERY DAY ECONOMIES.

Among the many economies which
have been suggested since the entry
of the United States into the war,
none has been more sensible and
practical than that of curtailing the
number of free deliveries of purchases
decided upon by Topeka retailers. 1t
has an advantage over many other
proposed economies in the fact that
it will not reduce purchases but will
merely cut down expenses all around.
The plan will result in considerable
saving of human energy, which at this
time is vastly more important than the
dollars and cents involved.
There is still another economy, not
dependent upon the merchants but
upon the customers. which might we'll
be put into practice. The Christmas
policy of do your shopping early
should be put into daily use.
A custom of shopping early in the
day is recommended on the ground
that it would avoid having crowds
curing a few rush hours, requiring a
large force of statesmen or saleswomen
who are idle much of the time aU 9TH
er hours. Such rules or practices ap-
ply not only to dry goods selling, but
to/trading at grocery stores and all
manner of retail shops. There is a
vast deal of waste from sheer care
lessness and Discrimination to take e
little personal trouble instead Of put
ting it all on somebody else.
The habit of economy is greatly
lacking in this country, and this is a
good time for cultivating it. out of
consideration for others and for large
national interests where the need is
not felt by individuals themselves.
Much good could be done with what
is commonly wasted and this does not
apply only to retail trading

Petrograd July 25.-An Russia
joined today to back up the ''unlim-

in searching out the traitor, the mall
content, the spy and the coward from
its population.
The nation apparently approves
every measure of stern repression
which Russia's Lloyd George, Premier
Kerensky, is invoking.
To-day Kerensky stopped all l,aves
of absence from the front. He sent
soldiers everywhere hunting down de-

Meanwhile the people of Russia
were busy. saw several speakers
against war arrested and severely
beaten by crowds on the Nevsky Pros
pekt. One Jew batter was aeized
and formally handed over to the po-
lice.
The whole nation is engaged in a
gigantic man hunt-the man being
Nicholai Lenine, the pacifist agitator,
paid German agent. In almost every
town in western Russia soldiers and
townspeople were making a house to
house search for the man who form
erly swayed street audiences in Pet
rograd. Steklov, Lenine's closest as
sociate was the first fruit of this ma
ton wide search. He was taken into
custody in a Finnish town.
Lenine evidently realizes his peril

letter from Lenine denying he was a

THE RIsBEE WAY.

The citizens of BlSbee, Arizona,
rounded up the l. w w. to the num-
Der of more than thousand, put
them under guard at the baseball
grounds, and finally loaded them into
freight cars and shipped them
somewhere in America. The pro-
ceedings may have been a trifle ir-
regular as viewed with the sharp eye
Of the law; but they were highly eff
fective. They. served, in addition, TO
notify the I. w. w. of an infirmity in
the public mind which cannot be re-
strained when secret and oath-bound
organizations begin to interfere with
the orderly process of daily life.
The taking of law into ones own
hands is a dangerous pastime, III
which there often occurs a demon
stration of the old axiom of the ply
steal world that action is equal to re-
action and in the opposite direction.
Neither the action nor the reaction
IS to be commended. But it happens
occasionally that an episode like this
in Bisbee, Ariz.. is salutary. 1t I'M
doubtedly will be so upon the I. w. w.
door Pullman transportation free of
charge; and it probably will be upon
others of the gentry in other locali-
ties who may not wish to travel in a
like manner from the places which
ow know them but which, like Bis
bee, will soon know them no more,
unless they change the tenor OF their
deeds.
Perhaps it is fortunate for the mill
tant suffragettes that they chose
Washington instead of Arizona as the
scene of their activities If they had
done otherwise they might have been
treated to a free ride to some place
where they could not annoy persons
engaged in carrying on the country's
business.

new STATE Home
Detention Institution Will Be
Located in Short Time.
Will Probably Be Placed in the
Eighth District.

Some Kansas town will land new
$4,000 state institution some time
during the next few weeks. Plans
announced today by the state board
of administration call for establish
ment and construction of the new
state detention home for women this
fall. The money for new buildings
will be spent before the end of the
present fiscal year.
While no definite action has been
taken, it is probable the new institu-
ton may go to some town in the
Eighth district. AT present none of
the state institutions are located in the
district. Wichita, Wellington and
Mcpherson have made bids for the
home. Fort Scott in the Second dis
trict, Marion in the Second district
and Salina in the Fifth district, are
also candidates for the home.
The legislative appropriation of
$50, 900 is for new buildings and a
site. At least $50 acres will be re-
quired by the state. A maintenance
appropriation of 5000 year is pro-
vided under an act by the 1917 legis-
lature.

1T WAS GERMAN GOLD
Arizona Officials Trace Money Fur
nishcd to 1. w. w. Agitators.

Phoenix, Ariz., July 25.-The
source of the big fund in the ha nds of
the /. W. w. in Arizona has been
traced to German sources at Hermo-
sillo and Guaymas by Cochise county
officials, according to reports received
here.
Some time ago two Mexicans were
arrested in Tucson with $50, 900 in
gold in their possession. They claimed
to be en- route to Chihuahua ard as
they had declared the money Mt No
sales, were released. This is believed
to be only one of several large con-
signments of coin sent by German
agents in Sonora to 1. w. w. repre-
sentatives in Arizona thru~Mexican
hands.
1t is said also that some of the
messengers entrusted with the money
never reported. One of these is
large consignment for Bisbee. When
the messenger reached the United
States he found that the I. w. w. had
been deported from Bisbee and i'm
mediately left for Los Angeles
