Anent the Presidency.

President Wilson is one of the few
occupants of the White House in the
past eighty years that have been elect
ed twice in succession. It is re-
markable fact that in that time the on
ly President who actually served two
full terms, or eight years consecutively,
was General Grant. Lincoln was as
sassinated within six weeks of the be
ginning of his second term, as McKin-
ley was within six weeks of the begin
ming of his, while Harrison, Cleveland
and Taft were defeated when they ran
a second time. In an earlier period
Polk, Fillmore, Pierce and Buchanan
had no opportunity to extend their ser
vice being considered unavailable for
nomination. Fillmore, like our other
accidental Presidents Tyler, Johnson,
Arthur and Roosevelt-aspired to be
continued IN office, but Roosevelt was
/ the only one that succeeded in getting
a full term. As for Mr. Wilson, he is
the first Democrat to receive a second
term since the days of Andrew Jack
son. VanBaren, who had been Jack
sons heir-appareHt to the Office, came
/ to grief when he ran a second time, and
no other Democrat was again renomi
mated until the time of Grover Cleve
land. -Ex.

A Good Idea.

With print paper selling at Bets a
pound at the mills, it looks like high
way robbery that it should cost the
newspaper boys of the Sixth district Z
and 8 cents per pound. It looks like it
would be good move on the part of
the members of the fraternity to orga-
nize wholesale paper company and
buy their paper direct from the mills
in car lots permitting all the boys who
own shares in the company to obtain
their paper at cost, which ought to be
considerable less than they are now
paying. This iayman is willing to take
some shares in company of this kind
aad is confident that it would be a good
move for the boys of this district
HoXie Sentinel.
Count the Free Press in on that deal.

ANNOUNCEMENT EXTRAORDINARY.
Kansas Good Roads Association WI
Start Suit TO Test the Consultation
to Determine Whether State

start Suit 20 Test the Constitution
to Determine Whether State
Can Improve Public Roads
The Kansas Good Roads Association
will bring suit at once before the SUI
preme Court to obtain a decision as to
whether the State can legally improve
the public roads. John A Hall, of
/ Pleasanton and other prominent law
/ yers have been retained to get the case
1 before the court at once with the view
of securing an early decision The At
torney General has been consulted and
is very much interested in the case.
1t has been accepted by nearly every
body that the Constitution prohibits the
State from aiding In the improvement
of our public highways and the Federal
Government may deny our state its
portion of the Federal appropriation
(S2, 25O, OOO.OO) for aiding in improving
the roads of Kansas because Of this
supposed prohibition.
Many good lawyers have held that
the Constitution did not prohibit the
state from improving her roads. The
Legislature has often made appropria-
tions for building roads between towns
and its state institutions and about the
grounds of state buildings. Section
of Article IL says For the purpose of
making public improvements the state
may contract public debts" Then
Section 8 of the same Article says ''The
State shall never be party in carrying
on any works of internal improvement.
A liberal construction of the Consti-
tuition at this time might open the way
fer the state to cooperate with the
Federal Government and with the
counties in building roads without wait
ing two or three years to have the Con-
stitution amended. If this can be done
it will clear the present muddie of
Federal aid coming to Kansas and save
much valuable time. If the decision
can be secured at once the Legislature
will be in a better position to enact
laws pertaining to highway improve
ments.
This move was started today and
hasten to inform the friends of the
Good Roads Campaign that they may
know of this effort in the interest of
our state wide movement for better
roads and better road laws

In the ancient field days of the
Greeks, he who could give the most
charming kiss was awarded a prize by
the government. Inthese more modern
days, kiss from an American girl is
enough of a reward itself and the gov
eminent should offer the prizes to the
girls as further inducement.-P. Cas-

We know from personal acquaintance
that Mr.. Harvey is a splendid young
man, intelligent, studious, honorable,

unfortunately he is getting close to

 Act and Child Labor Law Do : Not Conflict, Says Attorney

Little Rock, Aug. 10.-In response to a question by the Commissioner of Labor, as to possible conflict be- tween the compulsory school attend ance law and the child labor law, At torney General John D. Arbuckle says
 "The compulsory school attendance act as passed by the 1917 Legislature and the child labor law as initiated by the people in 1915. are two entirely separate and distinct acts and the pro visions of each act are to be consid- cred separate and apart from that of the other. have read both acts care fully and note no conflict"
 The labor commissioner says: We have regarded these two laws as ac- complaining entirely different pur- poses. One requiring children to at tend school and the other prohibiting employment under certain conditions, and that the exemptions from the op- eration of the compulsory school law

DEATH CELLS FOR
 DRAFT RESISTERS
Officials Seek to Awe Leaders in
 Oklahoma Uprising to Confess
 -275 of Draft Resisters Are
 in Prisons.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Aug. g. Within few feet of the electric chair in death cells in the state penitentiary at McAlester tonight are H. c. Spence, alleged Seminole county or ganizer of the Working Class Union and other agitators of the anti-draft trouble. They were placed there to- day in the hope that the stiffness of the death chamber and the mental horror of contact with the deah-deal- ing instrument might bring forth a confession of their alleged leadership of the uprising.
 Two hundred and seventy-five of the estimated 800 draft resisters have been placed in the state prison and county jails. Department of Justice O cials are gathering evidence for introduction at their examinations, which are to be begun soon before United States Commissioner McMil- len.
 W. p. McGinnis, United States at torney for the Eastern district of Oklahoma, at McAlester tonight said his investigation had resulted in an effort on the part of prisoners to shift the blame to others and clear them selves. This tendency was shown by many, even before their capture. When officers were sighted the men almost invariably concealed their weapons in the brush and were taken unarmed.
 Reports from the affected district tonight indicated a return of normal conditions, although officers continued to capture stragglers who, starved out, are giving up in the heavily tim bered hills. :.

U. ,. PREPARING FOR
 TEN YEARS OF WAR
State Labor Commissioner Re-
 turns from Official Visit to
 CapitOl-Everything Subordi-
 mated to Military Preparedness

Little Rock, Aug. 10.-B. D. Brick house, state labor commissioner, has returned from three weeks visit to Washington on official business. He says that practically everything in the national capital is being subordinated to military preparedness. A tremen- dous amount of work is being done, and the government is making it's plans as though the war is to last for ten years. No one will hazard guess about how long it will last.
 MT. Brickhouse found the Labor De- partment one of the busiest of all, with thousand employees in offices covering half block Through the assistance of Congressman H. M. Ja- coway, one of the most popular mem bers of the Arkansas delegation, with the administration, he was enabled to secure interviews with Secretary Will son and with higher officials, and dis cuss the problems peculiarly affecting -AA he'iiooo' OatpWty lS CCISLdill- ly on the pob, and never permits a letter to go unanswered, or a request to be neglected.
 He had several interviews with A. C. Caminetti, Commissioner general of the Department of Immigration, and reached a tentative agreement with him for a state and federal govern ment labor exchange in cooperation. It is proposed to cooperate in the handling of immigrant and other la bor, and it's proper and most effective distribution. The two departments will be kept separate, but will work to the same end. The contract will become operative when it is signed by Gov. Brough and Secretary Wilson.
 MT. Brickhouse also conferred with Miss Abbott, assistant secretary in charge of the Child Labor Bureau. and it is planned that the state shall assist in the enforcement of the law as it applies to goods shipped by in terstate commerce. Miss Abbott ex- poets to make a tour of the South soon, and will visit Little Rock.
 R. B. eKating, formerly of Cotton Plant, has been here several weeks as the representative of the Department of Immigration in charge of the fed eral labor exchange.

NEGRO LYNCHED FOR
 ATTACK ON OFFICER
Black is Taken From Foreman Jail and Hanged to Cotton Derrick-CorOner's Jury Did Not Fix Responsibility.

Foreman, Aug. 9.-Aaron Jimerson, negro about 35 years old, was taken from jail here last night by a mob and hanged to a cotton derrick near the main business section of the town. The negro had made murderous at tack upon City Marshal Sam Ander- son, who also is constable and deputy sheriff.
 The attack was made shortly before noon Wednesday, just as the negro was being returned to jail, following an examining trial on a charge of as- sault with intent to kill, preferred by some negroes at whom he had fired five times with a revolver several days ago. The marshal was unlock ing the door of the jail when the ne- gro seized block of wood and knock ed the officer down. He suffered se- were bruises about the arms and body. The negro then ran to the woods. but was pursued by Marshal Anderson and several other men. He was re- taken at the edge of town with little difficulty and returned to jail.
 Just what time the negro was taken from jail is not known His body was found hanging to the cotton derrick about daylight this morning. The coroner held an inquest, but the jury fixed no responsibility.
