The political party in the forth
coming campaign that has not the
constructive courage to stand out
and pledge TO the public protection
against the wrongs and terrors of
industrial warfare will travel down
the pathway of cowardice to defeat.
We have taken away nothing
from labor.
We have not forbidden any man
10 quit work. We merely have
taken away from Mr.. Gompers his
divine right to order a man to quit
work.
The safety of the public is the

trine we presented in Kansas will
come to be adopted as the broad
and just and impartial remedy for
the cOmpuIsion of unionism. /

ism. 1 would only place 1t under
less radical direction.
If there is going to be any COM
pulsiOn in this country, one man
over another. then in Gods name
let us have that compulsiOn directed
by the government.
Mr.. Gompers within the last three
days has issued a proclamation
calling upon all men of organized
labor to assemble themselves around
the polls to see that no man goes to
congress who Is not in favor of
Gompers.
The safety of the public Is the
supreme law.
I am not present as a representa-
tive of capital or labor, but as
representative of all of us-the gen.

away the right to strike he will

try that is waiting to know, what

this great republic was founded
Founded in 1859.
Topeka's "City of the Dead was
founded by Franklin L. Crane in 1859.
At that time the only burial place the
city afforded was located at Tenth and
Kansas avenue Soon after the found
ing of the new cemetery the five graves
were moved to the hundred-acre tract
set aside by Mr.. Crane as the future
home for the Topekans who passed
over the Great Divide. The city now
has a population og 16,151. That was
the report of the cemetery officials
May 20.
So rapidly has the cemetery grown
that it has been found necessary to
make an addition to the south and
now force of men is busy complet-
ing drives in the new tract 1t is the
plan of the cemetery officials to have
all the improvements completed by
this evening so that the annual crowd
which visits the graves on Memorial
day will find a new landscape effect
when they visit the cemetery tomor-
row.
Motor Vehicles Now.
Tho the dead and their graves
change not. the "City of the Dead
keeps abreast of the times. In the
old days, funerals brought to the
cemetery horse drawn hearses with
nodding plumes and horse drawn
carriages for the mourners. Today
the dead are brought to their last
resting place by motor vehicles solely,
and it is gasoline that brings the
mourners- The change was wrought
entirely in the last five years.
1t was in the spring of 1915 that the
first motor funeral was held in To-
peka. The interment was planned for
another and more distant cemetery
but the condition of the roads made
it impossible for any vehicle to reach
that place and Topeka cemetery was
decided upon. The officials of the
cemetery still keep a photograph of the
funeral as it entered the gates of the
grounds

BIG GAME HERE TODAY
Washburn and st. Mary's Will Jump at
Each Others Throats.

A great pitchers battle, with the
outcome very much in doubt, is the
way local fans regard the st. Mary's
Washburn game to be played at West
ern League park this afternoon at 8
o'clock. This will be the last confer
ence game of the season for both col
leges, and each is determined to close
it's schedule with a victory.
E The Catholics have a spotless rec
ord, having wol all six games this
year. Further. they intend to keep
that record unblemished. while the
Ichabods are just as determined to mar
it. Botn teams are in perfect condi =
ton; both will have their favorites in
the field. There is also a desire for
revenge in the hearts of the Blue, the
Saints having beaten them, to 2, in the
first game at st. Marys a few weeks
ago. Washburn intends TO even up
scores.
Capt. "BilF' Joerg star pitcher, will
occupy the mound for the Ichabo Is.
Tom Kelley. his strongest rival in the
Kansas conference. will pitch for ST.
Mary's. 1t stands to reason that both
sides will proceed with caution, know

New York. May 29.-Governor Allen
of Kansas and Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, told America of God given
rights" in their no-decision debate in
women who sought tickets were
turned away. The big oratoricaI bat
tie hinged on Gompers's appeal for the
right of free men to strike. Always
Governor Allen hurled back the chal-
lenge that the God given rights must
extend to the innocent public.
Both employees and employers went
to the debate in battle array. Cheers
which came for the champions were
answered with cat calls and Kisses
The rights of legislatures to restrict the
right to strike and the rights of the
public to demand protection from in
dustrial disputes formed the basis for
the greatest debate in this country in
years.
Gompers repeatedly drew applause
from his followers with references to
God given rights to quit work" And
always Governor Allen swayed the en-
ployer and the representative of the
public to demonstration when he re-
terted with a query as to who deter
mined this God given right. He de-
manded that Gompers tell America
who fixed the God given right to quit
work and let the public suffer. Com
pers never answered.
Both Claim Victory.
Friends of both orators left the hall
claiming victory. The submission OF
the issue to the public for decision will
come thru the printed pages. Only a
rather select crowd from the offices
of labor and capital saw the spectacu-
lar battle in Carnegie hall and heard
the repartee of the debaters.
