second the motion-and the thing is
done. To this oversight is due the
criticisms above referred to-.
The tariff bill now before the
House contains 346 pages, with
thousands of items covering practi-
cally all industries Of the nation.
Almost every item in the bill called
for a hearing before the Ways and
Means Committee-some times of
days on one subject. This commit
tee has been working for the last six
months, listening to those who urged
a higher or lower tax. Suppose. for
illustration, the committee refused
to hold hearings for western men
who came to Washington to urge a
tariff on wool, cattle. hides. and
other legitimate industry had the
same right to be heard-with the re-
suit that weeks and weeks since the
first of the year the committee has
been in session every day but Sun
day.
In addition to these hearings,
world war conditions called for a
general readjustment Of the applica-
ton of tariff laws, necessitating

claimed ms a National Holiday, and in view
of the fact that the American Legion was
not taking any part IN the program, that
there was no necessity for the closing or

At that meeting the merchants freely
expressed themselves that if the day was
proclaimed as a National Holiday by the
president of the United States, and If the
American Legion was to take up the pro-
gram with the idea Of celebrating our VIC

would be only too glad to close and help
with the celebration of the program in the
proper manner.
There was no disposition on the part Of
the merchants to antagonize anyone. These

George W. Cruise viii Take Case to
Higher Tribunal.

George w Cruise, convicted of wife
murder in Sedgwick county, will be
permitted to present his appeal to the
state supreme court. The court IS
sued an order today permitting Cruise
TO perfect his appeal after the tr1-
bunaI had held that the defendant
was derelict in bringing his issues be-
fore the court.
The Cruise case held a distinct To-
cal interest in view of the mysterious
death of Miss Kathleen Foley, 1878
Lane street, following summoning OF
the young woman as leading wit
ness for the state in the case against
Cruise 1t was contended that Cruise
planned to marry Miss Foley and a
theory advanced at the time of her
death was to the effect that foul
means might have been employed in
order to prevent her appearance on
the witness stand. Suicide was also
given as a cause of her death. A cor
onor's jury held that the young wo-
man came to her death from I'M
known causes.
Shortly after Miss Foley's death
Cruise was convicted by jury in the
Sedgwick county district court. He
then appealed to the supreme court
Action of the court in reinstating the
appeal will give Cruise a hearing some
time this winter-probably in Janu-
ary or February.

France and the UnIted states.v

FRANCO and the United States"
The friendship between France and
the United States is one of the greatest
features of our international life" said
T. A. Lee, former state commander
of the American Legion, in his address
to the students of Topeka high school
this morning on the subject THE
friendship between France and the
United States"
Lee stated that when Washington
said, Let US have no entanglng al
Nances." it took at least twenty days
to cross the Atlantic ocean and now
we are within a twenty-four hour
touch of Europe. Lee emphasized the
fact that the United States had had
a very close friendship with France
for 1 40 years with the exception of one
unfortunate period of one year, and
that the leadership of nations was now
forced upon US. I'VE must not forget
the fact that France aided US as well
as us aiding France" Lee also said.
Lees talk was the feature of the
Armistice day assembly which was
held at the high school this morning:
The students sang number OF
patriotic songs and also demonstrated
their eagerness to see the Topeka
Wichita football game which VIII De
