A Temple of Justice" costing in
the neighborhood of SI8O.OOO, to be
built without one cent of extra taxes
from citizens of Kansas, is the sug-
gestion of Walter L. Payne, state
treasurer, as the answer to the need
for more room to house the state de-
partments at the capitol. There has
been some agitation as to providing a
building to take care Of the over
crowded condition of state offices,
says Mr.. Payne "In studying the
matter over l have devised a plan
which 1 believe is feasible. A ITEM
pie of Justice" to house the supreme
court, state library and perhaps the
adjutant generals department, could
be built to meet the requirements of
these state offices for from $150,000
to SIZE, 900, and the plan under which
/ would provide for this building
would not cost the taxpayers a cent"

long we will be here, but not very
long. feel that the war is about over.
Don't worry about me one bit, | will
be alright. / will have a lot of things
to tell you when l return.
. / have seen great deal of foreign

fore j come back. am going to get
all out Of this trip that | can, fol-
when / am sent back to Tennessee
am going to forget all of my fancies
of adventure and be content with the
soil that gave me birth.
The French are fine people and in
good spirits. | don't think France is
suffering so very greatly under the
strain of war. In fact while travelling
through the country you can hardly
tell that they are at war. 1t is mar
yelous to think how France has re-
sisted German aggression fer -four
long years and still so intact. | be-
lieve she can hold out indefinitely.
This evening Sunday / took a
stroll to a neighboring village and
attended Catholic services in an OLD
church. The first thing you see wher
you approach French village is the
Church Tower. 1t is amusing to spenc
a few hours in one of these villages
No wonder so many writer's came tc
Europe for material from which tc
write.
Don't worry over me | am alright
and liking fine Write me often and al
