SUGGESTS STATE POLICE PLAN
Robert Hasty of Wichita Also Favors
Capital Punishment.

Robert Hasty, Wichita lawyer to-
day conferred with Governor Allen
relative to legislative recommenda-
tions for capital punishment, a state
police department and state service
department for investigation of crini-
nails and criminal cases. Hasty urged
that the governor present the program
to the next legislature.
Recently a crime wave hit the citv
of Wichita and a number of murder
cases are to be tried at the next term
of the Sedgwick county district court
Hasty believes establishment of a state
police department would aid in break
ing up crime nests such as the famous
callahan dump" which was famous
in Wichita some years ago. Th-
Wichita lawyer believes the governor
home town has returned to much of
its former state of lawlessness.
"a state police department which
could transfer its headquarters and
would be backed by an intelligence
department for study of crime and
criminals would help greatly in meet
ing the Kansas problem" Hasty told
the governor. 81 believe a return to
capital punishment would also aid in
preventing the spread of a crime wave
which has resulted in frequent muir
ders in our section of the state"
Governor Allen did not express an
opinion as to the policy. He said he
would not draft his legislative pro-
gram until after the election.

Over VIII.

Harding are engaged in a row over the
distribution of property left by Doctor
Harding.
DIR. Fannie Howe of Atchison today
filed suit in the office of Mrs. Mary E.
Chaplin, clerk of the district court,
against DR.. Agnes Havilapd, 72S Kan
sas avenue, demanding 'imnr
possession of the undivided half inter-
est" of Doctor Harding's estate.
Doctor Howe asserts in her petition
that Doctor Haviland has unlawful
ly kept her out of the Possession of
her lawful share of the property"
Hugh T. Fisher, attorney for the es-
tate stated today that the suit would
be contested. He said that duIing the
last year of Doctor Harding's life she
decided all her property to Doctor
Haviland, who. Fisher asserted. took
care of the well known Topeka physi-
clan and philanthropist during her
last illness.
It is understood that Doctor Hard
ing wrote a will a year or so before
her death but this will could not be
found in her personal effects. Fisher
said that Doctor Haviland came to To
peka only a few weeks before Doctor
Hardings death.
The property consists of house
and lot on West Tenth street, the
flower garden and bungalow on Col
lege and Boswell avenues and a tract
of land near Children's park.

while the Ordinary cotton has only

YOUNG LIEUTENANT
 BRINGS BRIDE BACK
 ON HIS RETURN HOME

What was the most thrilling eX- perience of your life as a flying man" was asked Lieut. M P. Nor gan, son of Col s. w. Morgan, who arrived in Juneau on the Princess Mary, accompanied by his bride, who was Miss Sybil Frances Park of Amherstburg, Ont, says the Juneau Capital
 The dapper young lieutenant who blushed. The reporter under stood.
 While serving in the Canadian fly ing corps as instructor, Lieut. Mor- gan was stationed at Chattes Hill, Stockbridge about 20 miles north of Southampton, England, and for two and half years turned out men for the air battle line.
 Like all air men and soldiers Lieut.. Morgan does not grow loquacious in discoursing on warfare.
 There were plenty of thrills,' said Lieut. Morgan, "but it would be hard to single out any one unless it was the first time I went up alone and tried to get down. I was too eager with the control and reached earth after a series of dives and vertical reverses."
 Lieut. and Mrs. Morgan vii. make Juneau their home, and society will welcome Mrs. Morgan as happy addition to the younger newlywed set, which just at present bids fair to overshadow the matrons in num- bers.

"Think and Thank" Suggested Motto
 for Nation Today

Think and Thank" was the motto upon the family crest of the great He brew philanthropist Sir Moses Monte fore. It would be an appropriate armorial motto for America today. These two little English words. dilfer- ing in single vowel. were originally identical In the AnglO-Saxon tongue, a thank" was a think" Thanking comes from thinking, and thankful ness from thoughtfulness and thanks giving from thoughtgiving. This will be a season of unusual thanksgiving for we are made to think as we have not been wont to think. It will be a very selfish soul that this season fails to think of the sorrows and the sufferings of others.
 Look back at that first American Thanksgiving. Strange skies, sparse settlements, sparse larder, savage'en- emy, but thankful spirit! What makes the memory of the Pilgrim so pre- cious? His thankfulness As Howell puts It:
 "It is no improper comparison that thankful heart is like a box of pre- cious ointment which keeps the snnel' long after the thing is spent"
 The Pilgrim and the Puritan have passed on. but they have left nS a precious possession--a Thanksg;ving day and the Thanksgiving spirit Theirs was the indomitahle spirit he cause they "thanked God and took courage" They landed undrsignedly on a "rock-bound wintry strand.' but they thanked God and took courage. They found no gold. but they did find the golden grain of a first harvest and they thanked God and took courage. They found a rude wilderness, but they thanked God and took courage. and furrows were turned and towns were built and cities grew and fart0- rieS fourished and culture deve)ono6 and instead of wilderness a garden bIossomed and the fragrance of their memory still survives and the spirit of their grace still inspires.
