IBedIam.0

Bedlam is another example of the
English fashion of telescoping words
and comes from Bethlehem. The pri-
DRY of st. Mary of Bethlehem in Lon
don was converted into a hospital for
the insane in 1902 and in the course of
time the name was shortened to Bel
lam, word that came to be a synonym
for madhouse. To open the door and
let the inmates escape would be Bed
lam let loose" and frequently the
phrase is used TO describe iEtolerable
clatter and racket.

At the Theatres

Bessie Barriscale will be the star at
the Classic tonight in Monte M. Katie
johns screen version of Harold Mac
Graths sensational mystery story,
Madam Who" The scenes are laid in
the south during the period of the
Civil war, but the elements of conflict
do not enter into the story which
centers around the thrilling adven-
lures Of a young southern girl who,
while working in the secret service of
the south is captured by a band of
eleven masked men, whom she knows
to be agents of the enemy, and is
forced into marriage with one of them
Nothing so gripping has reached
the screen as "The Barrier" the new
play by Rex Beach from his famous
novel. The interest Of the story be-
comes more graphic and human on
the screen. 1t will be seen at the
Classic on Thursday. 1t is interesting
to note that Mr.. Beach organized the
Rex Beach Pictures Co. to produce in
pictures his famous books. THE Bar
rier" is the first picture produced.
The author supervised the picture
from beginning to end.
''The Secret Came" starring Ses-
sue Hayakawa, will be the attraction
at the Majestic Thursday and Friday
A story of strong suspense and time
ly interest, together with a capable
character demonstration by the star
makes this production an acceptable
offering for the Paramount program
The story contains real suspense,
piling one dramatic situation upon an
other, while the interest of the audi
ence is secured and firmly held until
the last.
Draft 25S" will be the feature at
the Majestic tonight. It is Metros SEN
sational patriotic spectacle full of in
terest with it's lack of battle scenes
The story is based on the CONSUMPTION
act when every young man between
the ages of q and 81 awaited at CEN
trail gathering places to see what
number he had drawn. The picture is
far better than "The Stacker, = and is
screened in seven thrilling acts,
starring Mabel Taliaferro.

Our Neiohbors.

Charles Lamb was one day criticiz-
ing neighbor rather severely when
his listener fnterposed with a protest
that the judgment was mistaken, and
that the critic did not really know the
man. "But I don't want to know
him." said Lamb. 81 might get to like
him." That is what might happen
in a good many cases when we stand
off and condemn. The faults are not
the only qualities our neighbor pos
sesses. We might get to like him If
we took the trouble to get acquainted.

Be Fair With Children.

Do not keep list of your children's
faults constantly before you, and do
not, if you would be happy and at the
same time make these little ones hap
py. elaborate upon their failings before
company. On the other hand, If you
must speak of the days events, empha-
size their good deeds, tell Of the splen-
did work done during school hours, and
admit in the right spirit that these
small members of the household save
you many weary steps.

Topeka Unions Plan a Big Pre-
Election Convention.
Ten Delegates From Each
Local Will Be Elected,
HOUSE MAKES A STATEMENT
Denies Charges Labor Has Not
Been Given Consideration.
Municipal Ice Plant and Market
Are To Be Endorsed.

First steps of organized labor to
consolidate its votes and influence in
the coming city election were taken
Sunday at meeting in Labor hall. A
motion creating a political Ct -ention
of ten delegates from each local union
was carried. and a committee of
twenty-one was appointed to explain
the plan IN detail to each union.
About 200 union men were present
1t Sundays meeting. Several ways of
uniting the strength of Topeka organ
lied labor into the spring election were
considered. but the proposed methods
finally simmered down to two plans
Ten Men From Each Union.
The convention idea, which was
adopted. will place the labor campaign
in the hands of approximately 4sO
men, that number of men to be sent
to the political council on the basis

each delegate will have an equal voice.
it is said.
But few of the plarks which will

discussed Sunday. One thing seems
assured. however, the union labor men
will take stand for a municipal ice
plant and a municipal market.
1t was charged in the meeting SUM-
day that the present administration
uld not give the same consideration to
delegations representing labor that it
did to delegations from the business
interests and that policy should be
changed.
Under the convention plan. the con-

all union interests in the campaign.

dates. and place it in the field with

who wish to become union candidates
will be considered, but not necessarily

TOPEKAN AND BOOZE
Jack Humason and Whisky Caught
Out OF Kansas City.


An attempt to bring twelve cases of
whisky from Kansas City to Topeka in
an automobile ended disastrousiy for
Jack Humason Sunday night wheo he
was arrested by Kansas City autheri-
ties as he crossed the state line into
Kansas.
Humason, it is said, had openly
boasted that he was in no wise wor-
ried by either Topeka or Shawnee
county authorities and that he would
bring all the liquor he wished to into
the county. Hearing OF this. Hugh
wheels of his office in motion and
finding that Jack was not at home
Sunday morning, phoned Kansas City,
where he learned that the bootleg
gers car had broken down and been
placed in a garage for repairs.
Leaving word for the car to be
watched, Fisher, Sheriff Hugh Larl-
mer and Undersheriff Bob Miller bat
tied thru the snowdrifts and otherwise
rough roads into jefferson county,
where they waited at a certain point
to catch Humason in the event that
he eIuded the Kansas City authorities.
But finally came the message that
Jack had been caught in Kansas City.
Humason is ciassed by the authOri-
ties as persistent violator of the bone
dry law. Some time ago he was con-
victed on a liquor charge and SEN
fenced to a term in the state peni-
Tertiary, but was allowed to enter the
army. A short time ago he received
his discharge and returned to his fay-
orite occupation. 1t was stated by
Fisher today that the court had issued
an order for the sheriff to bring him
to Topeka, from whence he will be
sent to Lansing to serve out his term.
