Pacihst Pedantry
Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The pedant of the White House
has outdone himself. He says. in ef-
feet: "Poles, don't pursue the retreat
ing Reds into Russian territory. Ston
at the border and give em chance to
come back at you again"
Suppose the Poles should say to US,
in the event of a raid by Mexican
bandits; Chase them to the border
but stop there. Don't invade Mexican
territory"
l hope the Poles will no more heed
impudent, unjustiiable dictation from
the White House than We should SINH
lar dictation from Warsaw.

Against Barnes and Wadsworth

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l wish to indorse the letter Of
Florence Mcintyre which appeared In
this mornings TRIBUNE calling atten-
ton to the inadvisability Of nominating
James ". Wadsworth for reelection -
the United States Senate. IN a Re-
publican of over fifty years STARRING,
but cannot vote for Wadsworth. find
a corresponding sentiment among a
large majority Of my acquaintances.
Why put up candidate who is certain
of defeat? We are sick of the Barnes
rule. Having once got free from 1t,
why, knowingly, put our necks again
in the yoke?
If possible, relieve us OF Wadsworth
and avoid defeat. D. w. PAYNE.

The Silk Shirt Habit

OnOcT many circumstances CQrltt
is not merely a virtue but a ne
cessity. During the war, when
there was need for all the pro-
ductive power not engaged in pro-
viding for simple living, this ne
cessity existed. How the people
responded to the need is one of
the most gratifying parts of the
war record. 1t is not gratifying
that in the reaction from self-denial
extravaganza came, but neither is it
in the least surprising. Having
saved hard during the war, it was
to be expected that people should
spend freely when the opportunity
arrived. Whatever economists think
they should do, Americans as a rule
save only when they must and spend
when they can. We are not thrifty
nation, in the Old World sense; we
haven't had to be.
But because we do not pare the
potatoes quite as closely as do the
Europeans; because many wear silk
stockings and silk shirts; because we
buy $40 shoes and press them on the
clutch pedals of automobiles; be-
cause of all our so-called extrava-
gances-does it follow that we are
headed straight for ruin? We don't
think so. Quite the contrary. We
think it all means that we are still
headed in the right direction-to-
ward a higher standard of living.
1t is true, of course, that the thing
has been overdone, and so a reaction
is foreseeable-is, indeed, taking
place. But that is mainly because
most of US took too much of one of
the products of work - leisure.
Money came so easily that most of us
Stacked more or less, and presently
there weren't enough things to 90
round; prices became fantastic and
a break became unavoidable.
But, believing as we do that there
is nothing immoral in the desire for
silk stockings and shirts and auto
mobiles; that, instead, enlarging de-
sires make for progress and for
higher standard Of living, it seems to
US that the taste which people have
had of luxuries will stimulate a de-
termination to have them always,
and so in the end be beneficial.
Words of wonderment are heard
about the fact that people who actu-
ally work with their hands have been
buying silk shirts! Well, what OF
it? May every worker in the coun
try own all the silk shirts his heart
desires. May every factory girl
have ribbon for her hair. We
don't live on bread alone. The
worker can have his silk shirt and
the girl her ribbon. And they can
have them, too, we are certain, if only
they will work hard enough. Just
now, perhaps, they want to get them
without hard work, but that is
passing phase. Presently all will
settle down and get what they want
by giving full work for it. Of
course, it may take time to reach
this mood, but we will get there one
way or another.
And the boom that will follow will
be thing to sect

investigation of the baseball scandal
was presented today to Chief Justice

ARE EVEN TEAMS
Winner of Kansas Oklahoma
Game Hard to Pick.
Missouri Valley Conference
Title Hangs in Balance.

Kansas City. Nov. 6.-Unbeaten this
season, the University of Kansas and
University of Oklahoma football elev-
ems went into action at Norman. Okla.
today in what observers declared prob
ably would be the game to decide the
Missouri Valley conference champion
ship. Meantime. the Kansas State
Agricultural college and University of
Missouri teams were engaged at Col
umbia. That contest also was fraught
with possibility for Missouri, which
until defeated last week by Oklahoma
was regarded as having the champion
ship in its hands.
Should Kansas beat Oklahoma, Mis-
souri, win from the Aggies. and then
Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri win
all of the remaining games on their
schedules, the three teams would go
into a tie for the championship. Fol-
lowers of the sport here today were
loath to select a winner in the Kan
as-Okla homa battle. Both teams were
said to be in splendid condition, pack
ing an assorted supply OF football
tricks and firm determination to win
at all costs.
Another conference game being
watched with interest was the one be-
tween Drake and Washington univer-
sity at St. Louis. Both teams. how
ever have been eliminated from the
championship race.

The audience that attends 1.-THE

day evening, November s, has a sur
prise in store, If the mysterious atti-
tude taken by Mrs. George H. Allen,
chairman of the music department of
the Woman's club and head of the
Civic chorus, is construed correctly.
Mrs. Allen, in announcing the plans
of the concert. which is to be free to
the public, insists that the audience
is seated promptly at sos o'clock.
Everyone must be seated at this min
ute,' she says. The same attitude is
taken by Mrs. Monte Kistler, vice
chairman; Mrs Harry L. Rhodes, sec
rotary; Director Henry v. Stearns and
members of the company of fifty
women.
No explanation is made. If fifty
women and one man are able to keep
the secret between now and Monday
evening it means that the Topeka au-
dience is due for some sort of a sur
prise.
The concert constitutes the first

by this new organization. The

Washburn college will meet the En-

noon at Emporia in what promises to
be one of the hardest games on the
1920 Ichabod schedule The Normals
have played some real football to date,
but they also have showed flashes of
the stellar kind, especially when they
battled the Kansas Aggies at Manhat-
tan to Z. The NormalS outplayed
the Farmers and should have won the
game, bat a few penalties kept them
from scoring when close to the Aggie
goal line. Hargiss and Shabinger have
been wo king their charges overtime
this week to get them in shape for the
Washburn game, and it looks as tho
every member of the X. s. N. team
will be in shape to start when the
whistle blows.
Coach Dwight Ream of Washburn

lineup in an effort to strengthen his
offense, realizing that his team must

scoring in the first quarter when
Price, right end, carried the ball over
the line on an end run. The Manuals
worked their way toward the Baptists'
goal line by series of shifts and runs
and line rushes. Smith, fullback,
kicked goal.
Ottawa's line was her weakest point,
in several ways it outgeneraled the
Normal but its line was unable to
withstand the assaults that were
hurled against it.
Pittsburg neared the Ottawa goal in
the last half. Smith sent a place kick
thru the goal posts but Umpire Hill
called a foul and it did not receive
credit as a score.

fortunate in having two sweet" golf
ers for instruction purposes this win

season and has gained a large fol-

He is a competent instructor and a
good player. He will be with the Coun-
try club another season. Bonebrake
is known by every golfer in the city.
Rising from caddy to Kansas cham
pion in the amateur ranks, his golf
game was the wonder or the state for
several years. Last season he was en-
ployed by the Salina Country club as
professional and his record there has
assured him many successful seasons
of golf instruction in the future.
Bonebrake is a Topekan and will
spend the winter here.
Winter indoor golf is prescribed by
the greatest golfers of the game. In
