NO HOSTESS HOUSE

Several camps have hostess houses,
managed by the Young Women's Christian
association. where men in camp may en-
terrain their women friends and enjoy
social functions, bat after careful cof1sid-
Grafton between the commanding officer
and field secretary, it has been deemed
nawise to erect q hostess house at Camp
Hancock, because of the proximity OF the
camp to the city, the desire of the com
handing officer to have the social life
center ia the city, and because the WISH
tors to the camp go directly to the heart
Of the city upon their arrival. For these
reasons, activities will be centralized in
the city and headquarters have been
opened in the Lamar building, where in
formation will be furnished and a rest
room has been provided, where women
may make appointments with friends.

CAPPER TAKES HAND
He Joins in Crusade to Close Up
DrydaIc Saloons.

Governor Capper is doing his bit"
along with the attorney general to
close up Drydale, the saloon village,
across the river from Leavenworth. In
letter today to Newton D. Baker,
secretary of war, Governor Capper
urges him to wipe out the saloons
there, claiming they are a menace to
the morals of United States soldiers
stationed at Fort Leavenworth, a few
miles distant.

directing every energy toward our til
tanic struggle writes Governor Cap

sity of keeping the young men of our
army free from the blighting effects
of intoxicants and immortality. All
questions of morals aside, we cannot
afford a booze-soaked. vice-ridden

worth and the surrounding district
cannot be kept clean while the liquor
houses at Drydale are allowed to
operate"

TOO FAST A PACE
TOpekan Says He Can't Keep
Up With His Wife.
Marriage of w. A. Anderson
Lasts Less Than q Year.

After teaching school for eighteen
years at a meager salary and saving
$4,000. w. A. Anderson says he
couldn't keep up the pace set for him
by his bride and their marriage lasted
less than a year. They separated
October 10, 1916. he states in a di-
vorce petition filed in the district
court today, and the separation was
due to just one thing-he says his wife
left him and never returned.
Anderson says he was Al years of
age when he became enamoured of
a domestic who was employed by his
brother in Franklin county. He mar
ried her at Rosedale, October Is, 1915,
and says he built her a splendid
suburban home near Ottawa. Soon
reling with him and complaining over
her lot, altho she had never been ac-
customed to Injuries.
He declares she possessed an in
flated and exaggerated idea of his
financial worth and that she was not
satisfied unless she was spending
large sums of money foolishly. Four
months after they were married, he
says. she informed him that she
didn't intend to live with him and
demanded that he divide up his. prop
erty with her He refused and she
brought suit for divorce. He says
she lost in the district court of
Franklin county, but that on motion
of her attorney the case was dismissed
without prejudice.
Anderson says his wife developed a
mania for visiting friends and rela-
tives: that she would insist that he
accompany her on frivolous trips
here and there and that when he re-
fused she became sarcastic and made
sport of him. Anderson admits the
ownership of 125 acres of land in
Franklin county and 120 acres in
Morris county but he says he had
either the land or the wherewithal to
buy it before he married. He asks
that the court grant him divorce
and absolute title to all the property
now held in his name.

cause of more real misery and do
mestic unhappiness than anything
else on earth, is nothing more nor
less than the result of self love. A
mans mother is sure that she adores
her son. His wife is certain that she
worships her husband. Yet if the
misguided man tries to put the two
to living together they fight like cats
neither mother nor wife loves him
enough to sacrifice her own little
ways and opinions enough to get
along with the other woman in order
to make him happy and his home
peaceful.
Jealousy is often excused on the
ground that it is inspired by love.
Some even so farther and say there
can be no love without jealousy. That
is true as regards self love, but real
love knows no jealousy because it re-
joioes in the admiration that the one
it loves excites, it triumphs in his or
her triumphs, and it is made happy
by whatever gives pleasure to its be-
loved.
Real love has in it no room for
mistrust, or suspicion. 1t could not
doubt its idol and still worship, and it
is above the pettiness and greediness
that would seek to monopoliZe every
thought and interest of the one it
loves. 1t is not true love, but self
love that makes a man turn green
]
in the society of some interesting man
who happens to DE at her dinner par
ty, or that makes q wife go into hys-
terics if her husband dances twice
with a pretty woman at party.
No. Love is not a state of feeling.
1t is a state of action. We are
blasphemers when we talk of loving a
person yet do that person a more
deadly wrong than hatred itself could
invent. 1 know women who pirate
necessarily of their love for their
husbands, but who are killing them
with their bad cooking, and harassing
| them into the grave with their ex-
travange.
l know men who make a great vir-
tue of their absolute devotion to their
wives, yet who never give them a
penny to spend as they please, and
who raise rows over every bill that
make the women wish they were dead.
l know other men who, to crafty
their own temper and spleen, say cruel
and insulting things to the wives they
profess to love, and who have never
done one single thing since they were
married to make their wives happy.
Oh, there's plenty of love of the
kind poets and romancers tell of, the
love that takes itself out in fine, high
sounding words, and sloppy sentiment
| tality, but of the real love that pre-
fers another before itself there is very
little. Such affection is as scarce as
hens teeth, and it's price is above

MAKE own PAPER
Publishers Have Plan to Meet
High Cost OF Newsprint.
President OF Publishers FavOrs
Proposed 5 Per Cent Tax.

Washington, June 21.-Members of
the American Newspaper Publishers
association met here today to decide
on a policy regarding newspaper tax
alton for war revenue and to take up
the federal trade commissions recon-
mendation for government control of
news print manufacture and distribu
ton Difference of opinion developed
over both questions. F. P. Glass, vice
president of the association, support
ed the trade commissions recommen
dations but others declared action in
that direction would set a dangerous
precedent. Mr.. Glass pointed out that
the government is about to take
hand in food distribution and per-
haps will supervise distribution of fuel.
The association probably will rec
ommend changes in the present wa
ter power laws to guarantee longer
tenure by lessees of water power sites
as the association plans to put up
news print mills of its own. Members
said today capital was reluctant to in
vest in the project unless a long ten
ure was guaranteed. The newsprint
situation, it was brought out, is still
far from satisfactory. Canada's high
excess profits tax on news-print mills,
it was said, is discouraging produc-
ton and threatens to create a new
shortage.
Agents of South American and Aus
tralian publishers are in this country
to buy 10000 tons of newsprint
which. it is said. may have a decided
effect on the market. Members of
the association favor prohibiting the
export of newsprint under provisions
of the export control act.

REFUSES TO FIRE CHIEF
But VIII Make Separate Investigation
of n. Y. Police Department..

New York, June 21.-Mayor Mitchell
today refused to remove Arthur
Woods, police commissioner, from Of
flee as requested by Henry Cruger, ia
Their of Ruth Cruger, the high school
graduate, whose body was found Sat
urday buried in the cellar of Alfredo
Cocchfs motorcycle shop. Mr.. Cruger
asked this in an open letter to the
mayor because the police chief failed
to solve the mystery of his daughters
disappearance, the discovery of the
body being accom- plished thru an in
dependent inquiry conducted by Mrs.
Grace Humiston, counsel for the
Cruger family.
The mayor made known his decision
after a conference with Commissioner
Woods. He also announced that at
the suggestion of Mr.. Woods, a police
investigation would be made indie
pendent of the one the commissioner
has ordered thru police channels.
This new inquiry will be directed by
the office of the commissioner of ac-
counts. This will result in an i'm
partial probe Mr.. Woods hoped.
Roast Police for Failure
The mayor directed that the indie
pendent inquiry should attempt to fix
the responsibility for the police failure
to find Miss Cruger's body, to prevent
the escape Of the murderer and to
develop constructive suggestions as to
improvement of police methods. In a
letter to Mr.. Cruger. the mayor prom
ised the city would leave no stone
unturned," to determine why the po-
crimes in the future. For that failure,
there was mo excuse" the mayor
wrote, and whether it consisted of
mere stupidity, Incompetence or
worse 1t would be punished. The
mayor lauded Commissioner Woods

It is announced BY the United
States treasury department that the
revenue receipts for the current fiscal
year already exceed one billion dol
lars. This sum is far greater than has
ever before been collected in single
twelve month period. This enormous
return in taxes should enable congress
20 eliminate from the new tax bill now
in process of formation some of its
most Objectionable features. Among
these is the one which places a tax on
the salaries of married persons who
receive above $4,000 a year. There
can be no objection to lowering the
exemption from $4,000. as it is at pres
ent, to $4,000. but tho tax should not
apply to persons who earn the $4,000
by daily labor. 1t should apply only
10 those who receive such sum from
Investments. The income taxes on
salaries should be applied only after
an exemption has been allowed much
higher than the one contemplated by
the terms of the new bill.

Some day Germany will make peace
overtures. When she does probably
her offer to end the war will be made
TO the United States. Then if her
terms should prove satisfactory to us
and not so to her European enemies,
what will happen? The entente pow
ers are bound together by an agree
ment by which each one is barred
from concluding a separate peace.
Uncle Sam is not a party to that
agreement. He is in the war on an
Independent basis. He can stop when
he gets ready. Would he quit and
leave the entente to fight it out?
Would he continue to fight if they
should conclude a peace with Ger
many? Any necessity for solving
these problems seems to be a long
way off, but it may arise at any time
