STRIKES are said to have cost labor
and industry two billion dollars in 1919.
There is no more reason why the public
should suffer from labor dispute than
from any other kind of dispute. Quar-
reling neighbors are required to take
their grievances to court for binding
decision on the basis of equity. Some
day we will have sense enough to re-
quire industrial disputants TO do the

Rodger Cameron placed the last
book in the packing box and nailed
Oh the cover. Then he sat and gazed
about the little room. which looked
bare indeed, stripped Of his few per-
sonal belongings. II occurred to him
lust then to wonder exactly how many
hours Of study and serious thought he
had spent In that small block of at
mosphere inclosed within four walls,
II feet square Of floor space and ditto
of ceiling.
In the midst Of his musng some
peryerse imp, whom Cameron, profess
sor of psychology though he was, did
not recognize, delved down into the
depths of Rodgers orderly mind and
dragged into light some lines of verse.
The young professors lips, entirely
ION their own" as IT were, repeated
them aloud:
Even as a child who on the seasbore
sits,
Taking unchanenged all each bright
wave brings.
So let me play awhile with life and

Remarkable Thinness.

Prof. 7. Perriu has made study
of soap bubbles-just the kind that
little folks blow with clay pipes and
he announces that they are five milli-
microns thick. This means that it
would take more than five million
films of soap bubble to make one inch
of thickness While this is getting
down pretty fine, still the elementary

split down to thickness of one mole

ness of the skin of soap bubble,
which suggests that the latter must be
crystalline in structure. Just before
a soap bubble bursts dark spots form

Gentleness.

Gentleness is natural element. To
train, restrain or subdue the character
so that 1t Will manifest this virtue is
not TO give to that character the ele-
ment of gentleness. The result will be
to tame but not to make gentle. When
one is able to control by watchfulness
his actions, so that they result in gen
tlenesS, he possesses something less
than gentleness. Gentleness must be
natural TO be truly genuine. Where
love latent and fervent, abounds, that
Is the sort Of soul that possesses gen
tieness. 1t Is out Of the abundance Of the
heart that the mouth should speak. Ii
is from the abundance Of the regener-
ate spirit that the soul shall unveil the
grace of gentleness in myriad rela-
tons. Disposition. temper and manner
are in the province Of this virtue They
must possess it.-Chrlstian Intelligen-
Ger.

HON., MEET ALEX
Mister Snow Holds Political
Conference With HOwat.
Trying to Return Him to
Asylum, So He Left Here.

Pittsburg, Kan, Aug. George B.
Snow. the late farm hand" candidate
for the Republican nomination for
governor against Gov. Henry ]. Allen,
will hold a conference about the politi-
cal situation with Alexander Howat,
head of the Kansas miners union at
10 o'clock this morning
Snow arrived from Topeka during
the night.
They're trying to railroad me back
to the asylum" he told some men with
whom he talked after his arrival, so
ran out of Topeka
In the primary Tuesday Snow car
ried Crawford county by about 400
votes. Republican leaders say that
hundreds Of Socialists voted on the
Republican ballot and point out to the
practically complete absence of So
cialistic ballots in the election Tues
day.
George Snow hasn't been seen in
Topeka for the last two days. His
friends here say they were unaware
of his absence until he ceased his
hourly visits for counsel and advice
on serious political matters.
Snow spent one year in the asylum
here. He was sent to the state hos
pital from Lawrence about ten years
ago.
His actions previous to the primaries
made it SO unpleasant for ]. H.
Lathrop of Oakland, who has be-
friended him. that Lathrop was forced
to leave his home and live with +.
neighbor.
Il have hoped all along that Snow
would subside.' Lathrop said today.
Il have given him a room in my house
just to keep him straight and away
from the asylum. His recent tactics.
however. have made it advisable,
believe, TO place him under a peace
bond. Neighbors in Oakland have
been insisting that he go back to the
asylum, but I have done all in my
power to prevent this I believe that
the election sent Snow into a spasm
of egoism that has made him less ra-
tional- than usual"
No one in Topeka took Snow seri-
ously. His candidacy was considered
a joke but il served as an outlet for
the protest against Governor Allen on
the part of his enemies in both the
/ Republican ballot and point to the

votes and when the returns indicated
10000 or more # was admitted that

Free State Cigarettes
They Must Roll Their Own, But Are Expert 1t, State
Officials Hear-Farm Inmates Allowed to
Fraternize With Women Convicts.

Naughty, naughty girls who go to
the state industrial farm for women
really don't have so hard a time
after ALL. In addition to the treatment
for unpopular disease germs, the girls
get cigarets-free. That is the infor-
nation which has reached the state

There is just one had feature to the
cigaret privilege for the Eirls-they

is an abundance of smokes. Mrs.

Lansing farm, furnished the 'makins," !"
according to reports, while her assist
ants are said to distribute a generous
helping of papers. There are said to
be some expert cigaret makers among
the girls and most of the inmates soon
own-in fact many of them prefer
hand rolled smokes to the machine
made and more expensive brands.
More Trouble for Miss Wooster.
Some time ago Miss Lorraine E.

she learned that tobacco is actually

Now comes the shocking revelation
that the tobacco privilege extends to
the women and girls. What is more.

Sale of cigarets is prohibited under
a state law. But the state of. Kansas
is supreme. Without violating the
provisions of the law, there is an ade-

The demand for a prison farm for

E. L. Barrier, a member of the state
board of administration and member
of the legislature from Greenwood

amendments to the prison farm act

One protest against the law has been
ina bility of women committed to the
farm to secure an appeal from medicl-
nal examinations. Barrier will seek to
provide for appeals or re-exa nina

in several instances are declared to

examinations or thru spite and as re-
suit of neighborhood gossip
