Representatives OF the "wets' and

The letter TO Mr.. Burchenal, sug-
gests a change in the subject 20 be de-
bated and also bars the debate 20 any
one but man. Mr.. Stack in comment

FIRST BATCH
POLITICAL DOPE
Cherokee County Mecca for
State Candidates - Four
Already Mentioned
From The Columbus Advocate.

From The Columbus Advocate.
If it wasn't for Cherokee
county and its ability to turn out
men of exceptional worth and
ability, it would appear that the
Republican party might exper-
ience some difficulty in finding
enough candidates for the var
ious state Offices.
But as long as AL +. Williams,
w. R. Smith, Senator Chas. S.
Huffman Tom Botkin and few
others remain in politics, there
will never be a shortage. Smith
and Botkin are already in the
harness and late dope from the
state capital would indicate that
they must stay with the game,
while the names of Williams and
Huffman are also mentioned as
possible aspirants for state jobs.
The Topeka Capital makes
Botkin candidate for governor,
along with W. Y. Morgan, of
Hutchinson; Henry Allen, of
Wichita; James A. Troutman, of
Topeka; Charles Fl. Sessions, of
Topeka; S. NJ. Brewster, of Troy,
and A. M. Keene, Of Fort Scott.
The same paper also places
Smith as a candidate for re-elec-
tion to the Office of state printer,
although he is now serving his
second term. Other candidates
for state printer as seen by the
Capital are A. Q. Miller, of Belle
vile, and lmri Zumwalt of Bon
ner Springs. For lieutenant
governor the Capital mentions
Senator Huffman and Walter A.
Layton, of Osborne rs the pros
pective candidates.
Keep Talking Williams
A few weeks ago the state
papers started a boom for AL F.
Williams for attorney general,
and although Mr.. Williams came
out with the statement that al
most perished the thought OF
him beng a candidate for any
state Office, a number of his
friends are not satisfied with the
seven candidates which the
Capital is running for governor
and are insisting that MIR.
Williams get into that race. And
yet the Honorable AL F. says
that if he is a candidate for any
office he doesn't know it.
Prospective candidates for the
other state Offices as doped out
by the Topeka paper are;
For United States Senator,
Arthur Capper, of Topeka;
Charles F. Scott, of lola; and Joe
Bristow, of Salina.
For secretary of state, John E.
Merriam, of Russell; l.. j. Petit
john, of Dodge City, and Charles
S. Finch of Lawrence.
For state auditor. Fred W.
Knapp of Beloit.
For attorney general, S. \.
Hawkes. of Stockton, and J. f.
Brooks, of Sedan.
For superintendent of public
instruction, Miss Lizzie E.
Wooster, of Salina; W. H. John
son, of Lawrence, and w. d.
Ross, of Topeka.
For superintendent of insurance
Col. Frank l.. Travis, of lola,
and W. j. Dryden, of Lyndon.

TWO MORE ELECT TO
SERVE IN COMPANY /

Two recruits were received yester-
day for Company l in the first day
of the great drive for recruits, and
the work of enlistment will be con-
tinued throughout the week. The
two additions to the local company
yesterday were Edward J. Ward, of
Walnut Hill, and Earnest J. Castro,
of Pensacola.
Official construction of the regu-
lations governing men who were Sc
lected for service in the draft has
been made and allow any man whose
number has been drawn to enlist up
to the day his name is posted at the
court house for service.
Early yesterday a tent was pitched
in front of the armory hall with Lieu
tenant Shuttleworth in charge. With
the draft regulations understood, it is
expected that the local company will
easily be brought to complete
strength.

APRIL | BENEDICTS
CAN'T ESCAPE DRAFT

Official ruling has been made by
Adiutant General Christian On the
status of men who married after
April LIST, 1917, who in a letter to
Captain Phillips, commanding Com
pany l, states that all such men are
liable for service and are not exempt
because they are married.
The decision states in part: men
who married after April LIST, 1917,
are not exempt. The law was in
tended to cover cases where men mar
ried after the declaration of war for
the purpose of claiming exemption"
Request for the ruling was made
by Captain Phillips to be certain of
the provisions in the matter. Shortly
after war was declared and there was
a rush for the marriage license bu-
reau in an effort to avoid draft, Sec
rotary of War Baker issued a procla
nation that all men who were not
married before the war would not be
exempt When Company I was mus
tered into federal service, the inspect
ing officer stated that no MARRIED
men would be accepted for service.
The ruling of the acknowledgement
cleans up the conflicting statements.

SENTENCE WOMAN
ONE YEAR IN JAIL
Oh LEAVE FLORIDA

Mary Gillara, colored, about whom
there has been considerable COM
plant made to officers, and who on
July - was convicted in the court of
record of conducting a house of ill
fame, was brought before Judge c.
Moreno Jones yesterday morning and
a sentence of one year in the county
jail at hard labor was imposed, SER
vice of said sentence to be suspended
on condition the negro left the state
of Florida and remained away.
This defendant only a few months
ago was arrested and fined 500 in
the city court, and a sentence of sixty
days in the city Jail was suspended
during her good behavior. Soon after
satisfying the city sentence, the ev-
idence shows, she again engaged in
her old occupation, when deputies
arrested her and her conviction fol-
lowed, Her past performances are
understood to have made her an OBJ
jectionable resident, and strong pres
sure was brought to bear on the court
to impose a sentence which would
have a Statutory effect.

WOMEN TOO AMBITIOUS

Excessive ambition leads all sorts
of women to exert themselves beyond
their strength. The girl striving for
honors in school, the busy housewife,
the shop-girl. the society climber or
leader, all overtax their natural
nervous troubles, tackaches, head
aches, frequently organic troubles,
which reduce them almost to despair.
Women suffering thuA mould first

notice In accordance with this the
offices of the men were taken over,
all papers, postOffice keys and every
thing connected with their business, to
be held at the pleasure of the presi-
dent. Nothing has been disturbed and
no search made OF the premises of
the men.
A presidential warrant, it is pointed
out, is different from a regular court
warrant, for it simply specifies that
the person named therein shall be ar
rested and detained. A court war
rant orders the administrative Off
Ger to arrest the party named and to
bring his body into the court room.
In other words, no provision IS made
for the trial of the men and no hear
ing will be given unless granted by
the president, on whose order the ar
rests were made.

into a hotel, where the expense OF an

prisoners. This offer was made to the
marshal last night, but the warrant
required that they be held in the reg
ular place of confinement of federal
prisoners.
When the men were taken % jail
with some hastily gathere apparel,
every effort was made by the author
tiles to make them as comfortable as
possible.
While waiting for arrangements to
be made for their keeping, the three
prisoners were chatting with friends
in the lobby of the jail, apparently
uncOncerned. When seen by a repre-
sentative OF The Journal, they all re
fused to comment on the arrests, and
only Mr.. Lutz would say anything.
"If ever there were peaceful men
in town." Mr.. Lutz said, 1--WE were
them. The trouble with the whole
thing is that people NEEDLE too much
in other peoples business. We are
not worried, we are jovial, because
we have clear consciences." About
that time the marshal called them,

whom he had been talking, bidding
him goodnight. Every day we learn

How to Remove Easily.

Simply get an ounce of othine-

and a few applications should show
you how easy it is to rid yourself Of
the homely freckles and get beau-

than one ounce needed for the worst
