Clothes and Cleanliness.

1t is true that clothes were more
picturesque in past ages and that men
as well as women gloried In gorgeous
apparel. The nobleman was as fond
as his "ladye love" of rich fabrics and
rufies, and the clasp that held his
floating plume to his velvet hat
flashed with real gems. But here Is
where civilization takes a hand. Com
pare the cleanliness of the men Of the
past with those of the present. In the
Sixteenth century French gentlemen
changed their linen once in two weeks,
and even at that we're deemed reck-
lessly extravagant by the English for
so doing.

"LIvINC WACE"|S
ORDER OF COURT
Decision of Kansas Tribunal Will
Be Recognized as Mo-
ment0uS.
UPHOLDS RIGHTS OF WORKERS
Matter Now Is Enforcement Of Edict
That "SkiIled and Faithful En-
ployees" Shall Be Protected During
Times of Limited Production.

According to sweeping opinion
written by Judge Higgins and con-
Cured in by the other two judges Of
the court of industrial relations,
skilled and faithful craftsmen in Kan
sas industries must receive living
wage.
This was the order of the court in
answer to the complaint brought by
employees against the Topeka Flour
mills, which recently went to half
capacity.
"a very important question con-
nected with the matter before us Is its
effect upon labor" the decision says.
"The people of Kansas have solemnly
declared by legislative act that work.
ers engaged in this industry shall at
all times receive a fair wage and
have healthful and moral surround
ings.
"In the reduction of the hours Of
operation, therefore, the millers
should be sOlicitous concerning the
matter of labor. Skilled and faithful
employees should be given such treat
ment as will enable them during the
period of limited production to sup
port themselves and families.
1.-THE evidence before us shows
that in the Topeka mills skilled men
in the milling business are being paid
a monthly wage, and therefore are
drawing pay whether the mill is run
ming or not So far as 1t is possible
TO do so this rule should be recog-
nized in all the mills of the state, for
it is necessary in the promotion of
the general welfare that skilled and
faithful workers should always be
available for these essential indus
tries which so vitality affect the living
conditions Of the people,"
Kansas -four mills are essential in
dustries under the. terms of the indus
trial court law, and the mills are sub
ject to regulation by the court, but
the court has--found nothing to indi-
cate that the mills are closing in an
effort to maintain prices or curtail
production. The case was brought be-
fore the court by the employees of
some of the Topeka mills who assert.
ed that they had been thrown out of
work.

RECALL FATE OF FRANKLIN
Interesting Relics Recently Brought to
Vancouver From the Land
Where He Persisted.

After being in the possession Of the
thrifty natives of King Williams land
for three-quarters Of a century, a
large number of interesting relics OF
the Inflated Sir John Franklin polar
expedition have been brought from
the frozen north by Joe Bernard, who
is here after four years stay along
the northernmost coast of the North
American continent, says Vancouver
(B. c. dispatch.
Though priceless from collectors
point of view, the unitarian value OF
the relics is negligible, and they were
obtained by Bernard for a piece OF
lumber worth possibly 20 cents on the
coast.
A few brass buttons among the
relics are believed to have belonged to
the distinguished leader, though there
is as yet no positive proof of this.
Bernard also obtained a number Of
primitive scientific Instruments used
by the northern tribes. These will be
sold to various museums and univer-
stiles for which the explorer has been
collecting chronological specimens and
data since 1910. He also brought a
collection of furs worth approximate.
ly $4,000.
Sir John Franklin, with 154 com.
panions, sailed into the Arctic in 1845
to find the northwest passage, and
was never heard of again. After many
relief expeditions had failed, his fate
was ascertained in 1859, when bleached
skeletons were found on the trail te
Hudson bay.

Little Rock, Sept. 15-Attorney Gen. eral Utley yesterday addressed the following letter to E. H. Dempsey, keeper of the penitentiary at Little Rock:
 "In response to your inquiry of Sep tember 12, will say that it is the opin- ion of this office that the mere filing in the United States supreme court of a petition for writ of certiorari to the supreme court of Arkansas, in the Elaine cases, does not automatically stay the execution, date of which has heretofore been fixed by the governor.
 Ut is the opinion of this office that in order to stay the execution, pro- clamation to that effect by the gov ernor or order from a judge or judges of some federal court having jurisdiction over the case would be necessary.

WEEVIL INVADING
 CRITTENDEN COUNTY

Little Rock, Sept. 15-For the first time in the history ofCrittenden coun- ty the boil weevil is proving to be a destructive pest, according to Louis Barton of Marion, banker and plant CT who was in the city yesterday. Mr. Barton says that there is a 20 per cent reduction in the acreage of cotton in Crittenden county and that the crop will not average more than one third of bale to the acre. Crit tenden has been one of the greatest cotton counties of the south, averag- ing a bale to the acre, and the loss to the farmer through the ravages of the weevil will be very heavy. MT Barton also reports the weevil doing great damage in the adjoining county of Mississippi where it is also known for the first time.
