pally from the church people, who de-
clared that nothing should be done which

but advocates Of the measure countered
BY pointing to the need for wholesome

other days and recalled the record of
the movies in war to show the worth Of
their service.

SIGNS MAKE PLEA FOR VOTE.
suffragettes Use City Hall Park
Walk to Advocate Cause.

"Bolsheviki or suffragettss?" was the
question hundreds of men and women
asked themselves yesterday as they hur-
ried through City Hall Park and OBJ
served a number of mysterious signs
chalked on the walk.
MY country, / appeal to you to give
us our liberty" and 81 fear for the free
dom of my country" are samples of a
large number of neatly chalked mes
sages which were all around the CITY
Hall and near the State Courts Building.
Some of the letters were nearly two
feet in length and must have taken a
long time to inscribe. yet no one seems
to know who did the work. The park
cleaners and police officials in the neigh
borhood were unable to throw any light
on the question.

Of his affection for his family, the letter
having been written before Roosevelt had
met Selous, as its context shows. In the
same chapter is another letter from the
same hand expressing Roosevelt's views
of the Beers and the Boer war, in which
he traces resemblance between our
course at the time we took Texas into the
Union. Selous, as is well known, had
much to do with making the arrangements
for the Roosevelt expedition into British
East Africa, and it was chiefly due TO
Selous's advice that the whole plan
worked out so well Roosevelt's letter re-
garding that expedition shows how thor
oughly he foresaw every human contin-
gency, for in it he states that his physical
condition would prevent him doing GER
tain things and he planned to have his
son Kermit undertake Just those things.
Another characteristic letter was brought
out by Selous mentioning short trip to
the Channel Islands, whereupon the ex-
President wrote short history of the
Normans and a summary of their inhu-
enee on European history and architec-
ture that is very brilliant extempOrane-
Gus study Of that race In another letter,
written Just before Selous went to East
Africa as a soldier, Roosevelt discussed
the German attitude in the war and OK
pressed his "great admiration and respect
for the Germans in regard TO their sin
dustrial, social and military efficiency"
Almost the last page of the book is de-

with political incidents Of that time that
are very Illuminating as to the sources of
the constant friction between English
men and natives, and not always to the
credit Of the former. OF Selous's hunt
ing adventures, they have the quality of
autobiography, since most of them APP
pear In the form of extracts from Selous's
books or from personal letters.
He made one expedition to Asia Minor
in 1891, shortly after his marriage in
that year, and again in 1897. 1t was in
the same year that he started on his first
game hunting expedition to this country,
beginning In the Big Horn Mountains in
Wyoming. Later be hunted in Canada,
the Yukon country and Newfoundland,
his last expedition to this country being
in 1906, when he made his second trip to
the Yukon. 1t was not until 1902 that
he made his first trip TO East Africa,
which at that time twas truly big game
paradise" although he spent less than
four months in the country.
III.
To most Americans this biography will
have a special interest, owing to the
friendship existing between the late ex-
president Roosevelt and SeIous. Just
when the friendship began is not made
plain, but in the chapter devoted to the
years between 1s9619O7 there is repro
duced a letter to Selous from the ex-
President that is concerned with the
charms of travel in search of game and

Charles Edward Russell says in his
new book, BolshepiSm aud the United
States, that Lenine took money from Ger
many, as he would have taken it from
any other Government, and turned
against the purse bearer as he would have
turned against any purse bearer. "4 on

of Lenine's attitude. The attitude, if it
is that, isn't new with Lenine.

voted to a letter by Roosevelt written to
Millais, for the book it may be assumed,
in which he says of Selous: at is well
for any country 10 produce men of such
a type: and if there are enough of them
the nation need fear no decadence. he
led a singllarly adventurous and fascinat-
ing life, with just the right alterations
between the wilderness and civilization.
He helped spread the borders of his peo-
pies land. He added much to the sum OF
human knowledge and interest. He closed
his life exactly as such life ought to be
closed, by dying in battle for his country
while rendering her valiant and effective
service. Who could wish better life or
a better death, or desire to leave more
honorable heritage to his family and his
nationT

THE LETTER OF A DEBUTANTE.
Dear S. R.:-There should be some
thing for everyone to do this week
with both the Native Sons and Daugh-
tiers and the women of the Kansas
Day club celebrating the birthday of
our state. 1 would think the state, be-
ing of the feminine gender. would not
like so much fuss made over her birth
day when she is getting so old Did
you ever hear of a woman -"celebrat-
ing her fifty-eighth birthday? And
if the state did have a voice in the
matter which do you suppose she
would prefer should have her birthday
party. the Native Sons and Daughters
sor the women of the Kansas Day club?
Last year each luncheon had more
people than it could accommodate, so
it looks as tho there is room for even
a third crowd to entertain on that day,
doesn't it?
Do you know we heard that one of
the women whose husband is think
ing of running for office says she Will
not vote for him if he does run? l
think she is just, and probably justly,
opposed to politics and not off with
her husband, tho.
One of the young matrons whose
husband is in France is said to be CIV
ing Saturday night and Sunday parties
for some of the soldiers from Camp
Funston. This is a very patriotic thing
to do, but they also say that she does
not tell the young men whom she en-
tertains that she has a husband and is
known to them by her maiden name
1t is whispered, too, that the refresh
ments served are not conducive to
very quiet evening. So the neighbors
say.
One of the very pretty girls has sew
eral suitors in France and all of them
are threatening to come home at once.
All she can do. she says. is trust to
luck and Uncle Sam to keep things
straight.
Do you know you lost out on
good item "a real party in fact)
1t happened this way: A young
couple were going to give a party at
the Country club Sunday evening and
had the list of those present all ready
to let the S. R. print when they found
out that the Country club was en-
gagged for Sunday evening by little
crowd of girls whose husbands and
best friends are in Frances and who
were just having a small affair ard
