VAUDEVILLE SHOWS COARSE
Leeches Rob People of Kan
sas, Uplifter Asserts.
Legislature Will Be Asked To
Take Some Action.

Pure fairs may be advocated be-
fore the state legislature this winter.
The Sunday school fair agitation may
displace the drive against the public
display of the patella and the long,
sleepless nights while Kansas kept
score on the fight against the cigaret
evil w. A. McKeever, of the stale
university, has urged county fair Of
ficials to- purify their exhibits and DIS
plays and has urged that legislation
be enacted to protect the sensibilities
of the public against shocks from side
show exhibits
McKeever on his own motion speaks
for a half million Kansas school chill
dren. He declares that they have
been victimized at the various county,
district and state fairs. He says that
the side shows corrupted their morals
and that the niger baby stand and
the cane rack artists robbed them. Nc
Keever has appealed to the fair Off
Gals to do something about it. Not
only that but he asks the legislature
to act
Back to Freak Bills?
1t is probable that McKeever's pro-
gram for pure fairs will become one
of the hobbies before the coming leg
islative session. For years Kansas has
always looked for freak legislation.
Two years ago the state nearly es-
capped. Only dreamed cigaret bills
which tended to send people to prison
for owning a coffin stick, saved the
state from clear record. But in for
mer years the state has purified the
stage by Introduction of the bill
against the display of the patella.
Only dozen years ago the legislature
passed fair bill which prohibited
Bosco, the snake eater, appearing In
Kansas.
Inc appeal for simon pure reform
OF the county fairs as well as the
state fairs Is made by Mckeever in
an open letter to the fair associations.

HUNS SELL ARMS
Retiring Soldiers in Russia Act
Thru Soldiers WOrkmen.
Guns Go to the BOlSheviki,
Says One Russian Count.

Warsaw, Jan. 4.-The retiring Ger
man soldiers are selling their arms
thru soldiers councils to the peasants
and the Bolsheviki, according to Count
Wankovicz, a landowner in the gov
eminent of Minsk, who has arrived
here with his family. The German
officers, he reports, are helping them
selves to the armored automobiles,
horses, wagons and other materials.
In one instance, thirty automobiles
were sold for 5000 rubles.
Countess O'Brien de Lacey. who has
arrived in Warsaw from Baranovichi,
declares that existence in that region
is Impossible for those of the well-to-
do classes. Private property no longer
exists.
According to all reports reaching
here, conditions in Russia are growing
worse. Released Russian prisoners
coming out of Germany remain in
Poland rather than continue the jour-
ney into Russia. The correspondent
saw a group of former prisoners using
fists on a Bolshevik agent at the
station. The Russian declared:
''If we had the chance we would
gladly fight the BolshevikI.''

Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, de-
clared today, that the American peo-
pie will not stand for a repetition of
the conditions of 1898"
Gompers, appearing before the SEN

sharply criticised the utterance of
certain business leaders that wages
must come down and the hours of la
Dor heightened, now that the war is
over.
such sentiments are resented by
labor forces the country over he said.
The strike is a discordant note in the
hopes for liberty and a freer life with
the ending of the war and the defeat
of autocracy. 1 have also talked with
some of the great employers of the
country and am confident that such
sentiment is not typical"
