We are sitting out the selfishness that mar
red Olden crceds.
From the vineyards where labor we are
thinning out the weeds.
We are building for the future to a nobler
better plan.
For the world has caught the vision of the
brotherhood of man.
We have put the past behind us. As the
sturdy pioneers
Saw within the tangled forest all the
glory of the years.
So We face our trials calmly, for beyond
them
The greater goals of freedom aud the world
that is to be.
These are days OF SELF denial, these are
times for sacrifice
1t is freedom we are gaining and each one
must pay the price.
We are drawing close together with a COM
mon end In view:
For the greater joys we dream of we've a
common task to do.
We are sitting out the selfishness that mar
red us in the past,
For the light of truth is shining thru the
clouds of doubt at last:
We are building for the future to a larger.
better plan.
For all eyes have caught the vision Of the
brotherhood of man.

Labor agitators all over the world
are calling for a shorter day. Why
not shorten the hour to 80 or 40 min
utes and let the day alone? Most la
borers are paid by the hour. The
argument is that shorter days are
needed to provide employment for all
the workers. The truth is that they
are designed to cause the employment
of more persons. thereby rendering la
Dor scarce and bringing about an ad-
vance in wages. No policy that raises
costs and curtails distribution can pro-
vide more work. Employment is Gre
ated, consumption is increased and the
general comfort promoted by reduc-
ing costs. There is plenty of work for
all when industry is well balanced and
harmonious. In great factory where
thousands of wo-kmen are distributed
in numerous departments, but work.
ing upon different parts of a joint
product. their numbers must be prop
erly adjusted to one another. or there
will be idleness. In a shoe factory
for example. there must be no more
worlSmen making heels than are re-
quired to heel the shoes made in the
otheN departments. and the industries
of a given population must be bal
anced in like manner. 1t is possible
to over-develop a given industry in
proportion to the rest and it is pos
sible 10 have a temporary derange-
ment of industry from such a cause
as the war. but a general state of
over-production and unemployment is
normally impossible.

Mr.. Frank p. Macedonian. Topeka, Kan.
My Dear Mr.. MacLennan: Relative to
unpublished bills passed by the recent
legislature which are in your hands. | am
compelled to advise you that the law does
not authorize or permit the executive eoun-
ell to reconsider its action of last Saturday
and make the State Journal official paper
for two weeks. 49,
..The executive council shall at their
regular meeting in March of each year
designate some newspaper printed and
published at Topeka as the official
state paper, and shall certify such des-
shall file and record the same. The
paper so designated shall be the official
state paper for and during one year
from the first day of April next ensu-
ing, and until its successor shall in
like manner be designated"
The executive council had its regular
meeting on last Wednesday. took recess
until Saturday afternoon, for the purpose
among other things of designating the
official state paper for the ensuing year.
The recess was taken because Governor
Allen was out of the city and it was de-
sired to have all members of the executive
council present at the time more important
matters were to be considered. On Mon
day night previous. an informal meeting
council was held at which time 1t was
agreed by the entire council that the
official state paper should be selected at
the regular adjourned meeting to be had
on last saturday afternoon. No MEM
Der of the executive council was authorized
to say that the designation of the official
state paper should hold over until next
week or any other time, and no member of
the executive council gave out any such
information so far l am able to ascer-
tain.
L note that the bills which you have on
hand were delivered to you by the secre-
tary last week. 1t is, of course. to be re-
GREETED that you were not able to publish
the bills during the time that your paper
remained the official state paper.
The Topeka Capital having been reg
ularly named the official state paper for
the year beginning April LIST, 1919. by
unanimous vote of the council, it is my
opinion that there would be no authoriza-
tiOn for permitting any other paper to act
as official state paper during the next two
weeks as you suggest: or for any other
period during the ensuing year. unless the
Capital should discontinue publication or
fail as is directed by law to publish Of
fetal state documents.
The state will be put to considerable
delay and expense to have additional
copies made of the unpublished bills which
are now in your hands unless the same are
returned promptly, and | trust therefore
that you will return all unpublished bills
now in your hands from the secretary of
state. Very sincerely yours
RICHARD !. HOPKINS.

While those who have been con-
Quoting this newspaper W re busy last
week and the weeks before and were
fighting open enemies in the front, at

gregating S45.OOO for damages alleged
by reason. of efforts on the part of the
paper in behalf of the public, friends.
who proved unfriendly. slipped
up behind and carried away the
official state printing, or advertising,
which amounts to about $4,000 a year,
or $40 per week. Not only that, but
without notice. Governor Allen, Sec
Treasurer Walter Payne, thru Attor-
ney General Hopkins, ordered the
State journal to return about sixteen
columns of legal advertising which
the secretary of state had given this
paper and ordered printed at various
dates and which were in process of
publication. If the governor, secre-
tary of state and treasurer can justify
themselves, so can we. We will have
to dig a little more and work a little
harder for added commercial adver-
Using to offset the loss of needed adj
vertising revenues for services given.
The Topeka Capital was made the
official state paper. That's what hap
pened late Saturday afternoon with
out knowledge or notice to this paper.
United States Senator Capper now
has the county printing and the state
printing. He has just retired as gov
ernor and has been given the highest
office in the gift of the state. Is
there anything else he demands?
There are many references in the
Topeka Capital to the "Capper Pig
club" Why not call it the "Capper
Hog club" If the Capital needs the
city printing to exc out its existence
they might slip up behind and take
that away from the State Journal.
Inasmuch as last year it amounted to
only 1924 they might take it without
our missing it; or if Senator Capper
did this when we were not looking, as
was done in the state printing matter,
he might get it and it would never be
noticed.

CURRENT EVENTS.


Events, important at least to this
paper, have been happening thick and
fast during the past five weeks. dur
ing which time the editor has been
practically in continuous attendance
at the district court in and for this
county; not attendance from choice
but from compulsion by reason of one
suit for damages brought against the
State .ournal for $4,000 because a
serious and dangerous condition of the
Grand Opera house was point ID out:
and another suit for $4,000. brought
by reason of the pu3lir ltion of an ar
ticle intended to further the fourth
liberty loan.
Happily both of these suits resulted
in an overwhelmin verdict and vim
dication for the defendant. Had the
first suit gone against the paper it
would have been i'll blow to the
public 1t would have meant the muz-
cling of the press unless fear of libel
suit should not deter a courageous
newspaper.
An unfavorable verdict in the sec
ond case would have meant that news
papers must be exceedingly cautious
and guarded in their efforts to further
the~next government loan. the Victory
Loan; as, had the verdict been other
wise, fro past experience in the
fourth liberty loan would naturally
bava 1ad m raduced efforts for no
newspaper likes to invite suits of any
nature. They are expensive ard
troublesome, even if won.

From the outcome in the two cases

obtaining the swag.

Judge Richardson, OF the Hastings
Court. yesterday issued rulc calling
on Aaron Roscnhcim. proprietor of the
Richmond Inn. TO show cause why his
permit to sell soft drinks should not
be revoked. The rule was ISSUED on
the motion OF Commemorative At
torncy Wise. who stated last night
that the motion was made because the
Richmond Inn, which is located in the
Richmond Hotel Building. had bcen
selling OH Sunday.
In the Police Court recently charges
against Mr.. Rosenheim for selling on
Sunday were dismissed on the grou,:d
that as the defendant kept his place
of business closed on Saturday, he had
a constitutional right to sell on the
first day of the week.
1t IS not expected that the present
proceeding will raise the precise ques-
in Police Court. nor can 1t be con-
person keeping closed on week day
to sell on Sunday. The prohibition
laws have been broadencd to include
sot-drink stands. ond the judge of
the Hastings Court is given the power
to issue and revoke permits for the
sale OF soft drinks and has been
granted wide discretionary powers in
this respect 1t Is probable religion
