HONOR SYSTEM WINS


Kansas City.-"Tex" Schapper Of
fers an atonement. 1t is made in the
gray shadows of his cell, high up in
the north cell house of the Kansas
state penitentiary.
"Tex" is the erstwhile editor of the
prison newspaper and exponent of the
"honor system" who was the only
one of seventeen men given Christ
mas paroles who did not report back
ON time. He gave himself up in
Texas after he had been tempted to
flee, fell and rose again.
A full front page of this weeks
The Square Deal, the paper of which
he was editor before his parole, con-
tains his story, entitled 1.-THE Honor
System Wins" His position as edi-
tor of the paper, however, has not
been restored.
II ran across some of the wild
bunch" he writes. "They laughed
when l said that l was coming back
to face ten years. They called me
fool for even thinking of coming back
and like fool they thought 1 was,
l wavered.
Gust across the Rio Grande lay
Mexico, and l know Mexico like you
know the palm Of your hand. Today
there is an insistent demand for
strong men south of the international
line. Fortune and excitement may
be had for the winning. Once across

until your very heartstrings snap.
You can't resist the call. No man
can. Osborne has proved it. Allen
has proved it. lyman has proved it,
and let me tell you, friends o. mine,
that Warden Codding and Governor
Capper have proved it. The honor

I fought and fought against what l

a mass meeting of loyal Gallatin
boosters responded to an invitation of
the mayor to consider ways and means
of providing seed and help for the
farmers in the flood district Of that
county who will have TO replant their

and means were amply provided BY
these patriotic men.
At Pattonsburg a large dixie recent

town from a repetition of the disaster

bv stroke of lightning. She soon
recovered consciousness and was not

the shingles off nearby barn roof
in such manner as to form large
and perfect letter "U."

OF SUPPLIES
ASSURED FOR GUARD
TROOPS AND GREAT
NEW ARMY

The Council of National DEFENSE
the following:
Sufficient supplies for the National
(,uard and National Army are as
sured bv the time these troops are
il the Federal service. Since the
last of March more troops have been
Utfitted than during the entire Span
ish American War and more than
we're supplied to meet the Mexican
trouble. Furthermore. the troops
sent to France took six months sup
plies with them About three thou
sand men have been supplied since
the last of March-between two hun
bred thousand and two hundred and
twenty-five thousand regulars, about
thirty thousand National G uardsmen,
and enough engineers, hospital and
medical corps to make up the rest.
The action of Secretary Baker in
ordering the department to go ahead
and order supplies when there was
no money is the thing that saved the
day The adjournment of Congress
March 4, without passing the urgent
deficiency bill, left the War Depart.
without money to pay for the sup
files for future needs, but the orders
