Helena. Mont. Sept. 12.-Refer-
ring to the police strike in Boston
during his speech here Thursday
night, President Wilson said:
II want to say this. that a strike
of the policemen of great city.
leaving that city at the mercy of an
army of thugs. is a crime against
civilization. In my judgment the
obligation of a policeman is as sa-
cred and direct as the obligation
of soldier. He is a public SER
want. not a private employe. and
the whole honor of the community
is in his hands. He has no right
to prefer any private advantage toI
the public safety. 1 hope that that
lesson will be burned in so that it
will never again be forgotten. be-
cause the pride of America is that
it can exercise self control"

FARMERS AS BALLAST
They Keep Ship of State From Rock
ing, Says John c. Kctchnm.

It is the farmer who must carry the
burden OF maintaining the United
States in the economic condition gain
ed by this nation during the war, ac-
cording to the talk made at the Peo-
Piles pavilion at the Kansas Free Fair
this morning by John c. Ketcham, ma
tional lecturer for the farmers grange.
The meeting this morning was pre-
sided over by J. c. Mohler. of the state
department of agriculture and was
primarily a grange meeting.
ketcham declared that the farmer
is the ballast to keep the ship of state
from rocking. He classified farmers
as conservative. well read. clear think
ing men. not easily swayed by the
rawlings of wild-eyed anarchists and
revolutionists doing their best to
spread the doctrine of Bolshevism.
They are not easily swayed by the in
cessa mt ciamoring Of radicals and lend
a cool, keen judgment to the decision
Of all matters pertaining to the well
fare of the country.
In the opinion of Ketcham. the
farmer can do a great deal in reducing
the cost of living. Ketcham says he
installation on all farms of a system
of cost accounting whereby a farmer
may know just what it costs him to
produce any particular crop. In that
way a fair basis of charge may be
established and alleged profiteering
between the time products leave the
farm and reach the hands of the ulti-
mate consumer may be eradicated.

service in his present office. He Is
now in his sixty-first year and has
spent more than half of his life in ad-
ministrative school work.
The resignation of Cha Strong
was after a series of conferences with
members OF the state board of ad-
ninistration. His plan has been ap-
proved by the state board and the
plan to continue his identfficatio
with Kansas university as an instruc-
tor in the law school has already been
worked out.
Considers His Age.
Inability to carry out reconstruction
policies facing the university in view
of his age was given by Chancellor
Strong as the principal reason for his
resignation at this time In a state
metn today. the retiring university
head said he took the matter up with
the board several months ago. Shortly
before the United States entered the
war, Chancellor Strong had also con-
sidered surrendering of his present
work and retirement to a less strenu-
Gus position.
''I felt, tho" Chancellor Strong said,
that my duty was to take the uni
versity thru the war crisis. Now the
school should undergo after the war
changes and reconstruction. I do not
feel that I should undertake this
work"
1t was declared today that local pol
itics of the state university and possi-
BILE friction with the state board of
administration did not enter into the
chancellor's resignation. 1t has been
known, tho. that Chancellor Strong

Tcw many persons will the Kansas
Free Fair grounds hold?
This question was answered in
very sat t'sfactSry way Thursday when
$4,000 visitors crowded the pixies, ex-
hibit halls, grandstand and every 9TH
er spot within the big enclosure.
1t was the kind of big Thursday the
fair officials had expected, Judging
from the record breaking attendance
of the three previous days. but more
visitors came in automobiles than had
been anticipated. The regular auto
mobile parking space was filled and
cars were parked all the way from the
main entrance to the grandsta nd.
Then the centerfield was filled and
still there were cars. From the fair
grounds gate north on Topeka avenue
automobiles were parked as thickly as
they could be squeezed in for four
blocks and there also were cars on
both sides of every street intersecting
Kansas avenue for this distance.
Before the races were over the
street cars back to the city began to
become showed under. and a little
later they were completely swamped
despite the two minute service. In
addition to the regular ticket sellers
at the gates extra change makers were
pressed into service and stationed
back in the grounds along the main
pike

With one exception every concession
and carnival man said it was a great
day and the exhibitors agreed that
Topeka had seen something new in the
way of fair crowds-many OF them
admitting that they themselves had
never seen anything to equal the ever
growing sea of humanity.

That it may become necessary for
tn Kansas Free Fair officials to ex-
teila their dates to cover more than a
week In order to accommodate the
thousands who desire to take in all
the sights was indicated today whgn
the largest Friday crowd that was
ever seen packed and jammed the
grour =.
while a good attendance was ex-
pected today. the officials did not an
ticipate any such crowds as poure Z
into the grounds thruout the morning.
II the night show tonight draws as
did the Thursday night show there Is
every indication that the S5. 900 record
breaker of Thursday will be equaled
today.
The first street cars to 60 to the
grounds this morning were comfort
ably filled and by 10 o'clock every one
thar curved around to the gates was
pacIed. The motor parking space
was crowded by noon and cars began
to pile up along Topeka avenue and
other streets as they did Thursday. II
seemed at noon that all of Topeka
was on the grounds, but the crowds
up town were the largest of the week
during the noon hour and the restau-
rants were unable to handle the din
ner run.

While the extension Of the time to

fair officials will give it serious con-
sideration with the idea of running as
the Dallas and other fairs of more
than a week do.
The feature of today's program was
the automobile races starting at Z

had waited for this part of the week:
