STRIKING STORY
LAzARUS-DNES
Hon. P. P. Campbell Brings Par
ables of Lazarus and Dives
To Explain Failure
of Appropriations

Hon. P. P. Campbell stopped of in
Topeka Monday while enroute home to
Pittsburg and made an address be-
fore the legislature giving the inside
story of the failure of the pork bar
rel appropriations in the closing days
Of Congress.
He did not take up partisan mat
ters in his address, but in conversation
he stated the appropriations that did
not pass, were loaded with jOkers and
pork-barrel items, which if they had
gone thru would have caused a SER
ious upheaval in this country. That is
the reason, he declared, that it was
fortunate that the adjournment found
many large appropriation bills not
passed.
He declared himself in favor Of ar
early converting of congress to take
up pressing problems. He gave as his
individual opinion that the specia
session will not be called by President
Wilson until the middle of May.
In his address to the senate, Con
RHessman Campbell delivered a strik

listened to the call of every Barrabus
and they have murdered Dives. Lag
arus has taken his seat at the table
of Dives. Both Barrabus and Lazarus
have eaten up all the food in the
house; the barns are empty and there
is nothing growing in the fields, and
Lazarus and Barrabus are bordering
on the point of starvation. That is
Bolshevism and Socialism in action in
Russia.
A Real Problem Today
"God save us, the United States and
the rest of the world from such a
calamity. There is the widest liberty
in Russia to a murderer and plum
derer, but absolutely no security for
life, liberty or the pursuit Of happi-
ness. The only liberty there is is foi
murder, rape and plunder. One sure
way to prevent Bolshevism, the rob-
Der and plunderer, from getting a
listening ear from Lazarus is to have
Lazarus in q little cottage of his own,
with a table of his own.
"That is the economic and social
problem that today appeals to the
world and appeals to the United
States. We have few Barrabuses here
in Kansas. Let US not multiply their
number"
