We have a notion that some time in

some fairly good-sized political office
in Vermont and that his rich brother
in Boston will foot the bills. Mr.. Mar

Gov. Bell so far as his political stand

Orlando decides to run, look for an

After travelling over the state to

self or his anti-league of nations pro-

with the people at large.

MIGHTY HAS FALLEN
Jay House, Condemned by Topeka
p. Worarn. an Editor on Ladies'
Home journal.

Word comes to Topeka today that
Jay House, former mayor of Topeka,
former baseball and theatrical critic,
former column conductor, and gem
eral subject of naughty-narghty gos-
sip, has been made contributing ed1-
tor to the Ladies' Home Journal
House left Topeka several months
ago to join the staff of the Philadel-
phia Public-Ledger. This is a Curtis
publication. He has made real hit
with his column in the Public-Ledger
and the Curtis interests have attached
him now to their Ladies' Home Jour
nal. He will have an entire page in
the front part of this great woman's
magazine, 1t Is understood. He will
still carry on his column on the Pub
lic-Ledger.
Think of it-Jay House on the L.
H. j.!
Here is a newspaper man who was
bemoaned and excoriated b. all of the
uplifters in Kansas because of his at
titude toward women. Ministers in
Topeka and surrounding precincts
held him up m the pulpit as the Great
Horrible Example. His prods at fem
infnity were widely condemned as un-
worthy of manhood. 1t was even
charged that he had a friendiJ lean
ing toward white slavery and all of
the other deeper forms of iniqutty.
Women like Mrs. Mitchner and Mrs.
Monroe went so far as to say that he
was regular boo-devil. These
charges were made in the newspaper
on which House once worked-the To-
peka Capital.
And now comes the Ladies' Home
Journal-the peer of feminine maga-
zines-gives him a couple of months
once overs and at what is known to
be a large luscious salary hires him
as a contributing editor.
Meanwhile Topeka postmen might
as well put a new pad on their shoul-
der straps because there is going to
be an increase in the circulation of
the L. H. J.

That the unusual. dull red color of
the sunsets and sunrises of the last
two days is not due to clouds but is
caused by smoke in the upper air
from the forest fires in Idaho. is the
opinion of S. D. Flora. state meteor
ologist.
In the early morning and again In
the evening on Wednesday and Thurs
day, and again this morning, the sun
appeared a small. dull, bloody red
globe in the sky. The sky looked
cloudy. Still the haze in the skies did
not look like clouds. 1t is a very
peculiar condition Flora says. He does
not believe that clouds are shrouding
the rays of the sun. In his opinion
the upper air Is filled with smoke
from the forest fires blazing in Idaho.
Air currents high above the earth are
carrying down vast quantities of the
smoke. The phenomenon has been
visible in South Dakota and in Ne
braska. Later 1t appeared in Kan
sas. Flora says there is no way of
knowing whether 1t Is due to an un-
usual, peculiar cloud formation or
whether the condition is due to
smoke. without going up to inspect.
He stated he was too busy to go up
this morning. 1t is probably a long
way up to where the smoke Is at that.

A. e. +. Commander Expected
Home September or 8.

Washington, Aug. 22. - President
Wilson may so to New York to greet
General Pershing who is expected TO
arrive FROM overseas about September
8 or 3, it was announced at the White
House today.
1t was also announced that the pres
ident will declare n holiday for the
parade OF the First division in WASH
ington September 16. altho he may
not be in the capital on that date II
he goes on his League of Nations tour.
1t is believed probable that the pres
ident will be in San Francisco to re-
view the Pacific fleet September 3. as
planned. 1t would be necessary for
him to go direct to the coast and give
up his plan of making speeches en-
route.

STILL MORE DELAY
Senate Committee Decides To
Lengthen Treaty Hearings.
Will Allow Subject Peoples To
Air Grievances Before Them.

Washington, Aug. 22.-Decision of
the senate foreign relations commit
tee to lengthen hearings on the treaty
still further by granting a hearing to
Greek, Irish and Egyptian and mid
European representatives threatened
today to renew the agitation for TAX
ing the treaty out of the committees s
hands.
A majority of the committee took
the position that the subject peoples
whs did not get satisfaction at Paris
should be allowed to air their griev-
ances.
PowerIess To Help.
Democratic committee members OBJ
jected on the ground that additional
hearings would needlessly delay the
reporting of the treaty and that all
those asking for hearings. except the
Egyptians. got some sort OF a hear
ing in Paris
Democratic senators today pointed
out that the senate is powerless to
help the nations or subject peoples
who feel they were unjustly dealt
with.
Indications are that If the commit
tee keeps the treaty much after Sep
tember an effort will be made to
force it's hand.
Wilson Tour To Fore Again.
President Wilson's proposed tour OF
the country was again coming to the
front in treaty discussions today, as a
result of developments since Tuesday
when the president met the senate
foreign relations committee.
Reports coming mostly from the
capitol that the presidents trip had
been abandoned are denied at the
White House, altho it Is admitted that
plans are still indefinite.
Developments have not been such as
to encourage the belief that the presi-
dent would be able to get the treaty
and league covenant ratified without
an appeal direct to the people, 1t if
pointed out by the presidents sup
porters. Some of the developments
cited are:
The White House conference so far ap.
parently has changed no senator's attitude
toward the treaty. altho administration
supporters are still confident that results
will be to the treaty's benefit
The Pittman resolution embodying reser
| ratification act, which the president hai
| indicated is far he at present II
| willing to go toward a compromise, hal
| been pigeoned holed.
The senate foreign relations COMMITTEES
has decided TO go ahead with hearings tina
| tion by the president that the country car
not get back to normal before the pact II
ratified.
This argument-that normal con
| ditions and lower prices await peace
lis regarded as the one the presiden
is most likely to stress, IL he does gt

stories OF nlltEtu OF DIoNth
This is a policy outlined. expressed
and approved by several Topekans
at a meeting called last evening for
the purpose of combating sentiment
against all merchants due to the prof
iteering of a few in Kansas these trou-
blesome days.
incidentally it seems that the bust
ness men paid particular attention to
the Topeka Daily Capital and The
state Journal. Stories OF food seiz-
ures. profiteering. government actions,
official interviews and statements
and the records OF actual facts were
branded as false and malicious at this
meeting.
In other words, newspapers are not
to be relied upon. they have no pub
lie rights of public expression. they
print only one side of question, and
the truth is not in them.
So this is the type OF newspaper
published in Topeka!
II the Topeka newspapers print
stories of proven profiteering. If they
quote public officials on public mat
ters, If they use articles of interest to
the general public and from the stand
point OF the general public-if the
Topeka newspapers are guilty of these
charges, then thank God for the news
papers!
The Topeka business men at their
meeting last night gathered for pur-
pose pregnant with worthy ideals.
They are to be complimented on their
efforts to take the first action toward
bringing the buyer and the seller to-
gether in a mutual understanding of
true conditions. But when they. eth
er individually or as a body. shout
against the freedom of the press to
print the facts. they are destroying the
only real preventive of Junkerdom in
the United States
1t is most apparent that the Topeka
newspapers have been accused of do
ing just what every newspaper in the
country is proud Of maintaininG-an
act of reporting and printing news of
general interest and of actual happen
inEs.
If business man declares that his
newspaper has no right to publish the
facts and furthermore if he asserts
that in publishing the facts as given
out officially by his own government.
state or national. the newspaper is
malicious and false, then why should
this business man expect the readers
of this newspaper to believe his own
assertions. his own advertisements and
his own public actions?
You cannot place any faith in a
newspaper by believing one column
and condemning another.
1t is hoped that the business men
who took advantage of the worth
while and sincerely well meaning
meeting last night to dig up their
newspaper troubles form a minority.
and that the committee to be appoint
ed for the purpose OF arranging some
logical solution Of the problems of the
day is successful in its efforts. The
public will cooperate and the news
papers will co-operate-even tho the
latter are not to be relied upon for
their integrity and sincerity and truth
fulness
II the few Topekans who have
aired their grievances think that
the local newspapers are in the fact
hiding and truth-dodging business
they have reached a period of dis
trust in public institutions-a state OF
mind that is destroying their confi-
dence in mankind.
