Hays B. White, republican candi-
date for Congress, spoke in the court
house last Saturday evening to fair
sized audience. His address was of a
patriotic nature and was one of the
best delivered in the city for a long
time AS the Republican State Cen
trail committee at their meeting in
Topeka last Friday agreed not to
make any political talks during the
Fourth Liberty loan, Mr.. White con-
fined his talk to the war and wound
up his splendid speech emphasizing
the fact that everybody should sup
port the war to their utmost finan-
cially by buying Fourth Liberty Loan
Bonds.

THE REAL FACTS AS TO THE
ATTITUDE OF CONGRESSMAN
CONNELLY

To begin with, he was not sup
porter of Wilson for the presidential
nomination. He was for Champ Clark
and was disappointed at Clark's de-
feat; and said SO.
After Wilson's election, he lined
up with that faction of the Demo-
cratic party in congress that sought
to cripple the administration, notably
Claud Kitchen and the Clark follow
ing.
When the President was assuring
the nation that we were entirely un-
prepared for war, not having enough
men to patrol the Mexican border,
and asking for certain lines of pre-
paredness to be enaugurated by con-
gress, Connolly was voting in the ma
val committee to cut down the usual
routine naval appropriations. He was
one of the crowd that took offense at
Bryan's leaving the cabinet, saying
that Bryan had been forced to resign,
that the administration was unfriend-
ly to Bryan's ideas, and, charging in
gratitude.
When the President of his country
and the leader Of his party went be-
fore congress and recounted the out
RACES that had been committed by the
Huns against American citizens, III e
democracy of the world and ciyi!;za-
ton, and requesting that q .tate of
war existed, he refused the Pres
ident's demand and voted against tie
declaration of war.
1t is silly to urge patriotic Dem
ocrats to support him because his
opponent is a Republican. Democrats
: in congress as whole have been
jority of the Republicans. There has
been a batch in each party that has
played politics at the expense of the
country and patriotism; and Connolly
has been one of the Democratic batch
1t is equally silly to imagine that the
people of good sense are to be mis-
lead by such talk as, the country is
safer with Democrats returned tc
congress If democrats had the vision
to forsee events and the patriotism
to prepare the country to face the in
evitable, then such argument may be
tolerated. If they have not had such
foresight and vision, then the argu-
ment fails and they should be defeat
ed Connolly did not stand the test
and he should go down to defeat jus.
as the Republican members of con
gress should go down to defeat who
have been in this great crisis of the
nation, partisans instead of patriotic
Americans. In this election it is only
in this sense that there is, ssno pol
itics. ."-Esbon Times (Democratic.)

CAPITAL CITY NEWS LETTER
(By Chas. H. Trapp.)

Iopeka, hanS.,"A starting d1S-
closure of conditions in this country
was made by Colonel j. S. Dean in
speech here Friday in which he said
that an ammunition factory at
Bridgeport, Conn, had been very slow
in delivery of cartridge cases. Inves-
tigation revealed that the concren had
16S hydraulic presses used for making
holes in cartridge cases and very
scarce, slowed away out of sight. Col.
Deans report was o. KID by the
alien property custodian last week
and showed that the plant was ac-
tually the poperty of the German
government. COL Dean is widely
Known over Kansas as lawyer and
politician.
Chas. L. Mitchell, secretary of the
National Stationer's Association tells
of a new one that was worked by two
handsome women: They travelled over
the west selling their own brand of
typewriter ribons and in one county
sold twenty-eight dozen to a COM
missioner in Kansas. In all the
Offices of the county there are only
three typewriters.
At the Big Free Fair here the wait
ers In the concessions were paid five
dollars a day; the cooks at the hot
dog stand received eight. dollars;
load of baggage from the city was
charged at four dollars; pop and lem
onade sold for dime At that the
not make as much money as in former
years. All but one. A watermelon cut
ter sold five thousand melons at an
average of two. dollars each.
A representative of the u S. De-
partment of Agriculture spent two
days in the capital city this week
talking about the installation of dehy-
drafting plants according to plans and
specifications furnished free by the
department. He explained that un-
der the guidance of the government
functionaries as much as 25 or so
per cent could be gained on a capi-
and at that the cost of canned goods
could be cut fifty per cent, account
of the cost of the containers and the
economy of the process itself. He
carried with him samples of berries
that had been dehydrated eight years
and the samples of the same berries
that had been reported by the simple
addition of water. A ton of pumpkin
dehydrates to $50 pounds The claim
is made that the product, whether
corn, potatoes, fruit or berries, will
keep indefinitely in any climate or
under any condition. Commodities
and individuals are urged to interest

1t was twenty-five years ago this
week when Arthur Capper bought the
North Topeka Mail and thereby
started on his career as a publisher
and ending up to date with his string
of est varieties" of newspapers.
Capper is now 81 years of age and
has over 700 employees.
A peculiar condition seems to pre-
vail in the automobile selling game:
| A straight raise of hundred dollars
has been made in the selling price of
the leading cars, both for pleasure
and for commercial use. and a SIM
liar raise is promised for next
month. Yet there are medium priced
cars that are practically a drug on
the market While second hand cars
of certain makes have jumped in
value fully a hundred per cent and
the holders asking yet more.

All events are In His dear hands;
And all who accept 10 His homo VIII

There are many who think that God is
too good,
To punish a man for sin;
But lust read His Word, II is understood,
Such persons will never pass In.

Bishop Lewis Says God is
SCccn ndary in Minds of
German People
SAYS GOD BOTH
KNOBS AND CARE

A consoling Palm Sunday message. in
which Bishop Wilson s. Lewis, the
speaker at Grace NJ. E. Church yester-
day morning, eliminated many doubts
in the minds of his hearers relative to
God and this war comforted q congre-
CATION that filled the church to capa-
city.
The Bishop referred briefly to the
Kaiser, but with depreciation and hesi-
fancy that showed that he considered
the ruler Of Germany as the man re-
sponsble for the horror and calamity
visited upon the world.
The bishop on leave from his post
In China, told Of some Of the character
istics Of the yellow ace, and Informed
his hearers that IL was a question that
confronted them today, the future OF
the yellow man Last night he went
10 Dover, where he preached before the
Wilmington Conference In session
there.
In his reference TO the Kaiser, the
bishop spoke in sarcastic terms Of the
scrap of paper" He inferred that
the war came not + om a God-fearing
nation, but one to whom the name Of
God was second to that Of the Kaiser.
/ His expression in mentioning the Kali
ser Me and Gott" and the tones Of the
| bishops voice revealed the utter abhor-
enoe which he felt towards the Kaiser
and his minions.
He prophesied that the cause Of the
allies would win, even though the
sacrifice might he heavy.
There were two thoughts that the
bishop left upon his congregation
taken from the text Il saw the Lord,
that brought home the season Of the
year and at the same time consolation
during the p esent crucial times.
There are two fallacies," said the
bishop that you hear people speak II
these days. They are God doesnl
know" and God doesn't care"
With these thoughts the bishop tax
ing the opposite that God does know
and care. showed through many beau
tiful Illustrations that the Almighty
knows and cares, even as he does OF (
sparrow's, fall and that II he woulC
care for a sparrow. there was inflnii"l!
more reason tn realize that he Noul'
know and care shout mankind.
The bishop, in his talk on China
said that one Of the reasons why th
Chinese was problem for the othe
part Of the world TO consider was tha
the Chinese population today is one
fourth Of that Of the total world popu
lation and that it is constantly growing
He showed how other races had trie'
TO mingle with the Chinese. but tina
, for some unexplained reason that wa
impossible. In inte marriages, whethe
! the other mate be man o. woman. m
! children born are always Chinese Thi
, has been tried many times by tn
/. other races and always with the sam
! result.
