WAS A SERIOUS PRANK
Lads Who Broke Into House i'm a Dare
Landed In JaiI

Two Topeka high school BOYS who
took dare to break into a house had
the scare of their young lives Sunday
night when they were caught in the
home of Fred Davis, 1911 Huntoon. A
pedestrian saw them enter the house
and turn on the lights.
He called at the home of Alfred E.
Currey, 1915 Huntoon- from where the
police were called. Meantime, the
two lads became frightened and stuck
their heads out of the window. Re-.
vo1ver shots from neighbors who sur
rounded the house caused an instant
withdrawal of their heads from the
window.
Soon the police arrived. One off
Ger stationed himself at the front door.
the other at the rear door while two
others effected an entrance thru a
basement window the same way the
lads had gained entrance A lead pen
Gil was all the boys had taken
Just as the police drove away with
the boys. two citizens who had heard
OF the affair came rushing down thru
the snow with shotguns In fileir hands.
They created no end Of fun for the
bystanders.
The two lads started to church only
to find it darkened in Compliance with

believed. They were .paroled to their
fathers that night by county officials.
One of the boys had an expensive
gold watch given him by his father in
ms pocket when caught by the Of
ficers. 1t could have been pawned
for $40 or. SIS if he really had needed
money. Their parents are well-to-do
and both boys are pIentifuIiy supplied
with spending money.

RAILROADS IN PEACE TIMES.

Secretary McAdoo in his testimony
befort the senate committee on com
merce as director general of railroaos,
in answer to a question said that he
did not believe in government owner
ship. but he did believe it impossible
to turn the roads back to their owners
under exactly the same system by
which they were operated when the
government took them over" He
thought there must be some form of
government control" 1t would be
quite different from that adopted as
a war measure. but he did not enlal se
upon it, In the earlier part of his tes-
tinony, Mr.. McAdoo had said that he
die not think the railroads should be
returned to private control immediate
ly after the war.
No doubt there will be financial ad-
justments to be made between the
government and the different corpor-
atoms, says the New York Journal of
Commerce and it is quite likely that
as the result of the experience, not
only during the war but before it
came, there will be considerable occa-
sion TOT clanSe IN the eAlSllIS Id W.
Tie kind of regulation that had pre-
vailed for some years was the cause
of the utter ''unpreparedness" of cur
transportation system when the war
came and has added enormously to
many costs and losses that have re-
suited.
There is no reason to apprehend
that the war experience will afford
any argument for permanent govern
ment control. in the sense of taking
over the ownership or practical oper-
alton. There will be plenty of reason
for modifying the system of regula-
ton, especially in its methods of ad-
ministration. The interstate commerce
commission may remain, with its pow
er of supervision and authority to
pass upon plans of extension end
financial arrangements for raising
capital and surplus thru rates
charged and securities issued. But it
is to be hoped that those who supply
the capital and those who are respon-
sible for its use will not be so ham
pered as they have been in the last
few years.

IS SHE GERMAN?
OVERLOOK Woman's Name Is
Mrs. Jennie Limberger.
She Is Against Wilson and
Strong for the Kaiser.

Her name is I.imberger-Mrs- Jen-
ME Limberger---of Overboook.
Is she for or against the. kaiser?
Maybe there's nothing in a name,
but in the case of Mrs. Limberger of
Usage county, she's living up to an
-cestors who years ago on the banks
of the Rhine made a certain cheese
famous. In fact, her pro-German
feeling expressed in letter to Gov
ernor Capper is as strong as the
cheese she's named for.
'Ameria is light in Americas eyes,
she writes to Governor Capper, but
Germany is nearer right in Gods
eyes,
Fred Robertson, United States dis
trict attorney, in a letter written to
Robert D. Carver, county attorney,
says she is worse than a cheese-she
is just plain nut" and a dangerous
bit of tree fruit at that. in his opinion.
He asks that Carver take some action
and establish or fail to establish her
sanity.
Robertson was laboring under. a de-
fusion. Overlook is in Usage county
and the Robertson letter. together
with the letter Mrs. Limberger wrote
to- Governor Capper was forwarded to
the county attorney of Usage county
today.
She Quotes Bible.
Mrs. Limberger's letter is filled with
Bible quotations. In addition she calls
the governor and President Wilson
many uncomplimentary names and ac-
cuses themtof crimes against the peo-
pie of the country.
-. Il am glad that those who robbed
and murdered at Overlook and Fun
ston escaped" she writes. las long
as you go unpunished so should they.
Let he who is without sin, cast the
first stone.'
From Overlook today came word
from officials that Mrs. Limberger's
utterances had created considerable
comment in the neighborhood. Mrs.
Limberger is a native of America, it
is said, while her husband is German
born,\ according to information re-
ceived They live on a farm near
Overlook and one son has been
placed in class / in the draft.

LET WILSON DO 1T.

An unfortunate state of conflict has
been excited in Washington just at a
time when it is most desirable that all
the forces of government should act
together in consistent policy for the
prosecution of our part in the great
war for free government. The whole
of the United States is now gong
lover the top" The country is en-
gagged in mortal combat with a most
powerful. highly organized and uni
fled enemy II we are to win, unity of
action and grim determination are es-
sential.
and quarrel over details and to nag
its leaders while at war is almost sure
to lose. Criticism OF our national war
methods and measures should be in q
friendly tone, constructive in chara C.
ter, and free from partisan prejudice
or enmity. 1t should also be tempered
with full appreciation OF the difficult
ties encountered and of the fact that
we have had to prepare for war from
the ground up.
We have IN President Wilson a lead
era a Communicated chief placed in
that position by the votes of the peo-
pie. and he, and he aione, is going to
be held responsible for what comes
out Of Americas part in the war.
The American people are not going
to hold any bureau head, cabinet Of
ficial or anybody else than the presi-
dent responsible for the outcome of
the war, SO far as this country is con-
cerned. II our part in the war prove
a failure, the finger of public condem-
nation will reach far over the heads OF
committeeman, bureau chiefs, depart
ment heads-and even of congress. It
will point straight to Woodrow Wilson
ana to nobody else.
The president knows that he alone
must answer to the people, posterity
and to history for whatever may come
out OF ourxpresent belligerency. He
has his own well defined ideas and his
own we'll outlined plans of procedure.
He should have freedom to follow
| them, unhinderedi Being closely in
| touch with conditions both at home
and abroad, and having open to him
avenues for information which are
open to him alone, of all Americans,
he knows things about the various
phases of this war that neither con-
gress nor his annoyers outside of con-
gress know.
He is supposed to know what he is
doing. and he is entitled to free
hand.

Enrolment in American public
schools has been affected by the war,
btu not to the extent of making it less
than last year. according to figures
compiled by the bureau of education.
Figures from 1,411 cities and COS
counties or districts show an increase
of close to the normal amount of Y
per cent in elementary schools. In
high schools. however, the increase is
only one-fourth of the usual 9 X per
cent. Such increase as there is in high
school enrolment is caused by the girl
students. Fewer boys are enrolled
this year in every class in high school
except the fourth; apparently there is
a healthy tendency for boys in the
SCI ior year to remain and graduate.
In city elementary schools the increa Sc
in enrolment is actually somewhat
above normal; but in city high schools
there is a marked falling off. espec-
tally among the boys. Country schools
show some gains over last year both in
elementary and high school enroll
rnent. but rot so great as would be
expected under normal conditions
Rural high schools show increases for
both boys and girls. despite the war
