IT IS LARGE JOB
America Must Become Real
World Power Coolidge.
Public Cannot Eyade Payment
Any Price of War.

Burlington. VT. June 2S.-The
American people were urged to accept
the large responsibilities of a world of
greater economic and political free
in solving the problems of the future.
in an address by Governor Coolidge of
Ma massachusetts,, Republican candidate
for vice president at the University of
degree of doctor of laws was conferred
upon him. The university graduated
a class of 1926 t"
THE conflicts of the past six years"
Governor Coolidge said. have
strengthened the determinations ef-a
American people now as in the past to
restrict an aggression and support and
defend her political institutions with
whatever power may be necessary for
their preservation and the mainte-
nance of the large liberties they be-
stow upon all her citizens.
ut is absolutely impossible for the
public to evade or shirk the burden of
meeting the cost of war and paying
the public debt. This is part of the
price of victory. Until this is met a
of prosperity. There has been and
still is in some cases a range of arti-
fioially high prices which has not been
caused by, but has resulted in prof
iteering. There is but one sure rem
edy for this and that is an increase of
production. This is always the result
of a long process and its application
requires patience and forbearance.
We have been preaching and en-
gaging in a great crusade. Its purpose
has been to destroy despotism and pre-
serve freedom. There has been a new
birth of freedom. There has been a
new expression to the rights of the
individual. a new realization of the
worth of man. All this has set a new
standard of value on human service
because it has given a new value to
man."

ASKS TEAM WORK
Bishop Waldorf Addresses
Methodist superintendent.
Conference Decides to Leave
Area Program to Council.

Just as the playing of a game by
individual stars without team work
will not win the game. so the work of
individual churches will not strength
en- Methodism unless there is team
work" Bishop Ernest L. Waldorf told
the district superintendent of the
Wichita area of the Methodist church,
in conference at the First Methodist
church this afternoon.
"A hit and miss plan of work will
not accomplish results" the bishop
said. I'VE must outline definitely the
church needs and work together to fill
those needs"
Council to Work Out Plan.
A council to be composed of dis
trict superintendent. pastor and lay
man from each of the twenty-nine dis
tricts of the area. together with
twenty-five delegates at large, will
meet in about six weeks to plan the
program of the area for the year it
was decided at the meeting. The
council probably will meet in Wichita.
The visiting district superintendent
represent 100000 Methodists in Kan
sas. Oklahoma and Texas, the states
included in what is termed the Wich-
tia area. The visitors, together with
Topeka pastors. were taken about the
city this morning to inspect various
Methodist churches The party
stopped at each church and discussed
the problems of that individual church
with its pastor.

PITY The POOR TRAVELLER
Price of Passports to Jump 500 Per
Cent July 1 and There Are No
"Sales."

The cost of passports will increase
500 per cent July l. it was announced
today.
Altho the passport business has
been especially good during the last
few months, according to United States
Commissioner c. B. White. it can
hardly be said that Uncle Sam is TAX
ing advantage of the rush by profit
eering, for the act increasing the
price was passed by congress some
time ago. 1t will take effect Thurs
day when the price will leap from 81
to $40.
There is no use hunting places that
sell passports at reduced prices, for
the United States district court has a
monopoly on the business in Shawnee
county. Clerks of courts in counties
where there is no federal court sell
them, but they also are lin the COM
bine." The only thing for the poor
traveller to do is dig up the cash, or
else wait until Commissioner White
has a Saturday special" and that's
not likely to happen soon, as he has
no surplus stock on hand.
Passports are now being issued at
the rate of about five each week.
Most of the travellers are going to
England and France. Ninety per cent
go to some country in Europe.

Friday and the failure of either Wal
ter E. Wilson, bank commissioner, or
Governor Allen to deny that Wilson's
resignation is wanted much resembles
poker game when both persons
playing have drawn to their hands"
The bank report represents the
governors hand and Wilson's resig

by Governor Allen. wilson's knowi-

question. Wilson today reiterated his
faith in being able to Withstand custer
proceedings.
According to information given out
the governor isn't clamoring for Will
sons immediate resignation. He is
willing to ''let things slide" for one,
two, three or four months and in
that time Wilson's health can become
such that a resignation is necessary,
his private business may need his full
attention or one of the many set ex-
cuses for designations may be offered
and accepted with regrets" by Gov
ernor Allen.
All that fails to put this plan over
is Wilson'S statement of Saturday, reit-
Grated today:

orders me to and not until them
Whether Wilson or Allen win in the
game they are playing these days. one
fact, admitted by all in touch with the
situation remains-Wilson will not be
reappointed state bank commissioner.
Ed Mullaney. politician and banker,
is being launched as a candidate for
the position by national bankers in
the state, it is understood. j. H.
(Dick) Lee. president of the Kansas
Day club, always looms up as a posi-
bility, but he is a staunch, loyal friend
of the present bank commissioner.
Allen was in the same frame of
mind today he was found in Saturday

A warning against cutting wheat too
green was sent out today from the
office OIL. C. Mohler. secretary Of the
state board of agriculture.
Mohler stated that information had
reached his office that many farmers

warned that this would result in a
great loss in immature and light
weight grain.
"While we have confidence that the ex-
perience of the grea. majority of our farm
ers enables them to know just at what
stage their wheat should be cut. we are
bringing attention to the matter for the
