against army discipline. 1t would be
useless here to enter into a discussion
of any law or any regulation to put
aside the absurd position taken by the
chief of staff. OF course, the provost
marshal and none other was respon-
sible for the men until they were
actually sworn into the service The
chief of staff had no more authority
over them than messenger boy.
1.-The reprimand was stamped on
General Crowder's record. We do not
know where the secretary OF war was
at that time or what he was doing
But We do. know that he did not as
much as raise hand to end the dis
graceful performance.
General Crowder accepted the rep
rimand like the good soldier that he
is. But a few of his intimates heard
the facts, and they were Mortified that
at the end of forty years of honorable
service this officer who had prepared,
perfected and executed the mechanism
for a draft which had done more than
any other single thing in our history
to make a great army possible, had
been so treated.
They were reminded of the fact
that during the blacklist days of the
war it was General Crowder who new
er erred, but quietly and efficiently
contaminated his great task. while
confusion was universal thruout the
other parts of the war department
March Refused to Erase 1t.
"An appeal has been made to Cen
eral March to wipe the blemish from
the record. He has refused. The rep
rimand will become indelible. 1t will
operate against General Crowder' s
prom otion. and at the end of the war
he will revert to his rank as briga-
der
us it any wonder that General
Crowder contemplates retiring from
the army altogether. while General
March is contemplating the prospect
of being made a full permanent gen.
eral, a rank held only by Washington,
Grant Sherman and on his deathbed
by Sheridan?'
The other end of the row was aired
in the house this afternoon when Rep
resentative Gallivan, Democrat, OF
Massa chusetts reiterated his charge
that the American soldiers in France
were compelled to contend against a
militarism in the ranks behind them
as autocratic as that they were fight
ing in Germany and that this power
came from the 'Leavenworth clique.
Treated Wood Like Spy.
In a sensational speech Mr.. CALI
van took the part of the national
guardsman and reservist officers and
men, who, he asserted. had been the
victims of Huns in their rear" He
also cited the case of Maj. Gen. Leon
ard Wood, whom he praised highly
reading a letter signed by returning
officers that when Wood was ir
France "he was treated no better thar
German spy" By whose orders he
did not say.
Mr.. Gailivan, who is a Democrat
demanded an investigation of the
charges against the war department
to be conducted by the Democratic
majority in congress. He warned his
colleagues that the Democrats mus
not evade the issue that will be pre-
scented to them.

DENOUNCES CANADA BANKS
J. W. Leedy, Former Kansas Cover.
nor, Urges Kansas System Instead.

Edmonton, Alta. Feb. 3.-The Ca
madam banking system is live topic
with the United Farmers association
delegates here. They listened for over
an hour to former Gov. ]. w. Leedy,
of Kansas. Leedy denounced it. and
We're Brown. superintendent of central
western Canada, explained the system.
Leedy advocated the adoption of
the Kansas and other state banking
systems He claimed that the fact
that Canada, with all her efforts to in
duce immigration, had only 100000
of a population, was due to her de-
fective banking system, which was all
in favor of the big interests, and dis
eliminated against the smaller Dor
rover. Leedy also made a vigorous
attack on Sir William Mackenzie, tho
just what he had to do with the bank
ing system, was not very clear.

BUY LICENSE TO FISH
Tegemeier Demands That Every Kan.
sas Angler Pay for Privilege.

Too poor even to be a fisherman
may soon be a common phrase in
Kansas if the legislature follows out
the suggestion of w. c. Tegemeier,
state fish and game warden, who
wants a license required of every man
in Kansas who "wets a line"
Tegemeier is alarmed over the loss
that will be sustained by the state
thru the issuing of free hunting IL
censes to all former soldiers and sail
ors and he also says that hunters who
have always been required to pay
license are demanding that fishermen
also come under state regulations. He
asserts the hunters complain that they
pay Ill the money and that this money
is then spent for the benefit of the
fishermen who pay nothing. His sug-
gestion is that hunters and fishermen
be taxed equally and that the money
received from these taxes be equally
divided and spent to increase the game
supply as well as the fish supply.
1t is estimated that approximately
$4,000 free hunting licenses will be
issued to returned soldiers and sailors
during the present year.

FORM NEW STATE UNIT
County Attorneys Organize for Promo
ton of Law Enforcement.

More than thirty county attorneys
from various parts of the state attend
ed the annual conference in the office
of the attorney general at the state
house Saturday and organized a state
wide association, after the manner of
the other county officers. Heretofore,
the county attorneys have assembled
only when called into the office of the
attorney general once a year and it is
the purpose of the new organization
to promote a mutual acquaintance
among them. to form an exchange of
ideas and experiences and bring the
different counties into a closer alliance
in enforcing state laws. Incidentally,
they will endeavor to obtain legisla-
ton needed in their line of work and
an increase in salaries. w. E. Broadie,
of Kinsley, was elected president of
the ASSOCIATION; w. F. Means, Hia-
watha, vice president, and Ellis Fink,
Winfield, secretary-treasurer.
r. j. Hopkins, attorney general, ad-
vanced the theory at the meeting that
violators of the bone-dry law would
become more troublesome than ever
now that the national prohibition
amendment has been ratified, and
urged the county attorneys to keep a
closer lookout than ever for offenders.
He has been advised, he said, that
prices on their stock of wet goods in
order to close them out before the
amendment becomes effective and
prophesied that many professional
bootleggers. as well as others, would
be apt to lay in a goodly supply
against the dry days" to come.
Capt Willard Knowlton, of the
United States public health service de-
tail, delivered an address on the So
cial diseases and the measures that
should be adopted to stamp them out,
impressing upon the county attorneys
their responsibility in cooperating
with the state board of health to their
utmost.
In the afternoon, addresses were de-
| livered by L. T. Hussey, state fire
marshal; Miss Lima Bresette, secre-
tary of the industrial welfare COM
mission; DR.. S. J. Crumbine, secretary
| of the state board of health, and S
T. Howe, chairman of the state tax
commission. Other speakers were:
| Frank Organ, of the blue sky COM
mission; Col. A. NJ. Harvey; W. F
Broadie. of Kinsley; P. c. Young. OF

worth; Hug Fisher. of Topeka. and

CHANGE STOCK LAW
Senator Nixon Would Make Home
Counties Pay Tubcrcular Tax.

An important change in the Kansas
law governing the killing of tubercular
stock and the reimbursing of the own
ers is going to be sought in the present
legislature by Senator George Nixon
of Sumner county. Senator Nixon has
prepared a bill which will be intro
duced this week providing that when
animals are condemned and killed
their owners shall be reimbursed from
the funds of the county in which taxes
are paid.
A great many cattle owners live in
one county and have ranches in other
counties. These men often pay taxes
on animals in one part of the state
and then send them to another part
Then the animals are given the tuber-
cular test by officials in the counties
where they are located and if they are
condemned and killed the owners are
reimbursed from the funds of the
county in which the limitations
were made.
Senator Nixon says this arrange
ment has cost Sumner county a great
deal of money. Ex-Governor Stubbs
who lives in Lawrence, has a large
ranch in Sumner county and a num-
Der of times he has sent cattle to this
ranch that were later examined and
killed with the result that Summer
county has borne a large part of the
expense despite the fact that the coun-
ty received no taxes from the cattle.

HOUSE TO LOOK

he had built up a personal machine
while acting as draft leader. They
feared that he intended to use his ma
chine for Republican political pur-
poses.
Harvey Made the Charges.
THE March-Crowder" charges were
made by Col. George Harvey in the
weekly paper he publishes. He de-
tailed the story as follows:
Barring only the shameful treat
meHt of Leonard Wood, no conspiracy
Matched at the war department has
been quite SO petty in it's inception,
or so contemplate in it's inception as
the attempt made to smirch the service
record of Maj. Gen. Enoch Crowder.
"All the circumstances leading up to
General Crowder's reprimand need not
be recounted at this time. They are
too small to be of any value whatso-
evcr-except possibly to instance the
kind of elements which compose army
politics.
"A year ago when the war machine
was webbing from bad to worse Cen
eral Crowder realized that the country
would be impotent III the war until the
nations man power was modified to
the limit for Industrial and military
purposes. Thereupon he prepared
and submitted to the war department
the most comprehensive military and
Industrial draft plan that was ever
outlined in this or any other country.
1.-The plan has never been published.
1t probably never will be published
unless congress demands it. The
American Federation of labor eXerted
tremendous power to stop its execu-
tion,- and the war department refused
to approve 1t.
Patriotism His Cndoing.
General Crowder's patriotism was
Il Att
Mr.. Baker and General March could
no more abide his activities than
those of General Wood But thus far
he had done nothing that could be
used as an excuse for discipline
Realizing that men over 81 years
of age should not be taken directly
from civil life and submitted to the
kind of rigorous physical work that
younger men could stand, lest their
unaccustomed constitutions be under
mined, General Crowder prepared a
set of suggestions for older men to the
end that they might prepare them
selves gradually before entering the
army.
"Officers in his department caused
to be circulated a few simple sugges-
tfons concerning physical exercises and
mode of life that might be followed
during the weeks or months preceding
their induction into the service. The
suggestions were so simple and were sc
full of common sense that they were
gladly awaited of by men who expected
to be taken into the new armies. Gen
eral CrOwder's idea was not the result
of guesswork, nor was it any vagarious
notion. He realized too well the neces-
sity of hardening men up gradually
He had received enough reports oil

when subjected overnight to the in
elastic army training.

Crowder to his office and severely
reprimanded him for having en-
croached on the precincts of the gen.
eral staff. The provost marshal gen.

WARNING T6 HUNTERS FROM
THE SHERIFF OF HENRY
COUNTY.

A great deal of complaint has
come to this Office from the farm
ers living in the west part Of this
county that hunters are coming
out from the tri-cities on Sundays
in large numbers and hunting on
their farms without permission. In
several instances stock has been
shot and killed by these hunters.
Some of thcm (mostly foreigners),
will shoot most anything they
happen to run across, whether it
be a pig, chicken or rabbit. There
has also been considerable hunt
ing on the public highways, which
is strictly in violation Of the state
law.
Every effort is going to be put
forth to put a stop to this nuisance.
We intend keeping a close watch in
the future and vfolators will be ar
rested and prosecuted to the full
est extent of the law.
