THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

l. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
 2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness or anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; thou shalt not bow down myself to them nor serve them; for 1 the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the chil- dren unto the third and fourth gener- ation of them that hate me; and showing mercy unto thousands Of them that love me and keep my com mandments.
 3. Thou shalt not take the name ot the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain
 4. Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work, but the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God; in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that m them is. and rested the seventh day; wherefore the Lord blessed the sap- bath day and hallowed it.

JUDGE WON'T QUIT
W. L. Higgins to Stay With the
Industrial Court.
City That He'll Resign.
CENTER OF LONG COURT ROW
Eighteen Months Ago Huggins
Split With Powers.
Accuses Court of sLittIe Work
and Much Politics."
CENTER OF LONG COURT ROW

Judge ". L. Hugg;ns presiding
judge of the industrial court, will not
resign. He today denied a report
printed in a Kansas City paper to the
effect that he considered leaving the
labor court.
Since a short time after his appoint
ment Judge Huggins has clashed with
the state administration and with
Governor Allen regarding policies. On
several occasions he has given public
utterance to his opposition of the re-
fusaI of the state to take a hand in
the Pittsburg coal strike. He has de-
manded protection for the men who
want to work and for the coal oper-
ators who have lost enormous coal
contracts thru inability to pledge pro-
duct-on. He is the minority member
of the court at the present time and
during conferences of the last few
weeks has been ignored by Governor
Allen in discussions of strike condi-
tions.
Trouble Started 1S Months Ago.
Trouble among court judges started
eighteen months ago when Judge
Higgins refused to make what he
termed political appointments for
men who wanted places on the courts
pay roll. At that time he broke with
Judge Reed, Governor Allen and Fred
Trigg- As a result of the breach ad-
m-nistration influence was used to
prevent Judge Higgins going before
the legislature with a statement as to
the court trouble. At the time Judge
Higgins said the trouble with the
court was mot too little power and
too much work, but too much poll
tics" Since that time the presiding
judge has been given to understand
that he should not talk.
On several occasions Governor AL
len has displayed displeasure because
of Judge Huggins's actions. He has
been quoted as saying he would re-
move> the Emporia lawyer if it were
not for the fact that the senate had
confirmed his three-year appointment.
"Stick 1t Out to Ffnish.''
'T don't intend to resign" Judge
Higgins said today, when questioned
regarding the Kansas City newspaper
report. TO the contrary, 1 intend to
stick it out to the finish. Several
nights ago, tho, 1 made up my mind
that I would come down to the office
the next day, say my little say and
quit But 1 have changed my mind
and will stay on the court
Judge Higgins was appointed in
February, 1920, following passage of
the Industrial court law by the special
