HONOR TO GARRISON
Tributes Come Fast to Topekan's
Birthday Party Mt c. Of C. Today.

the memory of the dead
1t was in this spirit that a birthday
party was given at the Chamber OF
Commerce today in honor of Harrison
Daddy" Clarkson. who has reached
spent more than fifty years in active
business in Kansas and seems capable
of continuing on for number of years
more.
More than seventy-five persons sat
at the tables reserved for Clarkson and
about forty guests. This table was
decorated with flowers. The idea of
the party originated with Charles L.
Mitchell and Charles S. Elliott Mich
ell was master of cerem onies at the
party this noon
Charles e. Eldridge was the first
man called upon. Eldridge was a
CIarkson was just starting his work
in rating. Ever since he has more or
less followed in the pathway first
blazed by Clarkson. In mentioning
things for which Clarkson would al
ways be remembered in Topeka, DR..
Frank l. Loveland mentioned the
Methodist Home for the Aged as be-
ing originated with Clarkson- c. F.
Hardy and AL Bower also made short
talks.
Loveland pointed out that It was so
much more satisfactory to honor a
man to whom honor was due while
the man was still alive. He brought
out that instead of devoting all his
energy to the chase of dollars, Clark
son thought a great deal of the human
heart, that he had a sincere interest
in the welfare of humanity in general
and was willing to work to effect GER
tain ambitions along this line.
It is the first time a party of this
kind has ever been held at the Cham
Der of Commerce. The directors have
decided that the party today will serve
to establish a precedent From now on
as fast as members reach the age of
eighty-seven the Chamber of Com
rnerce will give them birthday
party.
Despite his years. Clarkson is re-
garded as one OF the most active mem
bers OF the chamber He has been
more regular in his attendance at the
noon gatherings than any other mem
Der. He never nisses day If 1t can
be helped He has always taken an
active part in all movements of civic
improve for the bettsrment of
the city. Many persons besides mem
bers OF the chamber attended the
luncheon today in honor Of the veteran
fire insurance man.

is master of the glittering generality,
seems to have been highly successful
in pinnins the fragments of his party

there remains an insistent if unex-

that will drive a spike in something
and nail it to the mat.

The effort to graft an anti-profiteer-
ing clause on the industrial court bill
calls to mind the fact that in Ter to
make it effective it first will be nee
essary to find the profiteer. One of
Attorney General Palmers young
men declared in Chicago recently that
this had been found difficult thing
to do. The federal department of
justice has been prosecuting a search
for the past year and has not, up to
this time, located a single profiteer.

seems to think that with the aid of a
