Judge Disagrees
With Good Lduud;;
Youths Go Free

The first act of Paul Heinz, who
took office Monday noon as judge of
the court of Topeka, was to disagree
with 1.-The good Lawd."
Thomas Saunders a negro, charged
his two sons, Arthur and Clarence,
with stealing 500 from him. They
were arrested, thrown in Jail, and this
morning had their preliminary hear
ing before Judge Heinz in the court of
Topeka.
The father declared that he was
separated from his wife, who lives in
Oklahoma, and that when his two
sons came to him a month ago, be-
draggled and hungry, he gave them
lodging, clothes and food. In return,
he asserted, they stole ten SO bills he
had in the house.
Saunders said when he missed the
moneS-there having been no one else
around to take it-he called in the
boys and had them kneel down with
him. Then he "cal1ed down the good
Lawd," he said, and asked Him who
took the money. He said "the good
Lawd' told him the boys were guilty
but even in the face of such evidence
the boys denied it. -
Judge Heinz held that the evidence
introduced was insufficient to bind the
boys over to the district court for
trial.
Defendants discharged" he said.

The Perpetual Youth FalIacy-2. !
OF course, every woman likes to
think of the time when she was
young. and brag about how pretty she
was, and get out her old photographs
and look at the starry-eyed, slim,
young creature she was, but she
really doesn't wish to go back and be
that girl again.
For wen does she remember all
the stormy, hectic years of her girl
hood, how she agonized over her
clothes. and her beaux, and the tears
she shed because she couldn't have
as pretty dresses as some other girl.
Above all, she recalls with a shudder,
the weary husband chase; the bores
she had to endure; the cyclists she
mad to flatter to draw men about her
on the chance that in the crowd there
would be one that she wanted. Nor
can she forget her fears that the right
man would never come along, and
that il %he did he might overlook her.
and to her dying day she will recall
the horror of the nightmare of her
wedding preparations, and the weepy
honeymoon in which she and her
John learned to adjust themselves to
each other, and live together in peace

plest years are those after she is
safely married, or else afer she has
accepted old-maidenhood, and has
given up the struggle to get married.
8 And no young wife wears the placid
expression of the middle-aged woman
who has accepted her husband as he
is. with all his faults and foibles. and
is making the best of him instead of
trying to make him over.
Nor does any woman ever know
peace of mind and body until she has
reached the age when she has ceased
to care whether she attracts men or
not, and then she realizes that the

looks. Then only can she let out her
corset strings, and cut down the heels
of her shoes. and eat what she likes
and say what she thinks, and be com
Portable and happy.
Because youth is so greedy of pleas
ure and sensations, we think it the
most enjoyable time of life. AS well
might an epicure envy a dock laborer
his capacity for devouring corn beef
and cabbage. Youth has no dIscrimi-
nations. 1t makes no subtle compari-
sons. 1t flavors nothing with the aroma
of delicate memories. All 1t wants is
quantity, not quality.
1t is only when we become middle
aged that we are able to be gourmets
in pleasure, and to SAVIOR the flavor of
any situation to it's fullest, to know
what is fine in music, art, and con-
versation, and to rally enjoy life be-
cause we have got a perspective on it,
and know how fleeting are both pain
and pleasure.
So there are not many of US who
would spend our money on the per-
petual youth doctor. Real youth holds
charms only in retrospect, and we can
imagine no greater horror than to
have an old soul looking out thru the
mask of a young face. That would be
old sheep served as spring lamb,

MANN TELLS or TOWNLEYISM
1t Has Damaged North Dakota Beyond
Estimate, Speaker Says.


Estimate, Speaker Says.
Townleyism has damaged North
Dakota beyond estimate and that state
will be many years recovering from its
effect said Il. p. Mann of Devils
Lake, North Dakota. before the meet
ing OF the 1nterservice club, held at
the Chamber of Commerce, Monday
night.
Mann's talk was heard by an extra
large attendance and the speaker gave
many interesting facts relative to con-
ditions in North Dakota during the
administration of the Townley follow
ers. Everything that Townley did in
the way of establishing business con-
Germs such as banks, mills, merchan-
disc stores and other lines, have
failed, according to Mann.
'1Townley had one big bank. the
Bank of North Dakota, located at Bis
marck, in which all other banks had
to make deposits said Mann. zone
time when one of the three members
of the managing board was away the
other two decided to investigate the
banks condition. The case went to
the state supreme court, which was
composed of Townley judges and they
held that the Investigation was con-
trary to law and stopped It Many of

did not receive any redeposits from the
Townley bank and are now unable to
get their money. which in many cases
amounts to from eight to sixteen mill
lion dollars per county.
Another instance the Townley
forces came into a town and got about
200 farmers of the community to pay
800 each for the privilege of buying
at the Townley store to be organized
to sell goods at cost plus freights and
overhead expenses A total of $780,
600 was collected and the store opened
with a stock valued at about $4,000.
The balance of the money was used
for spreading propaganda. which is
worse than poison. hope that Kan
sas will not get into the same condi-
ton that North Dakota is in at the
present time"

the Interservice club, which followed
Mann's talk, the following were elect

GOVERNOR ALIENS ADDRESS

The address delivered by Gov.
Henry j. Allen on the occasion of his
second induction into the office of
much that entities it to public ap-
prevail. 1t shows thoro understand
ing of the states problems and its
needs, aItho certain of his remedies
for existing ills may be open to OBJ
lection. &
The governors recommendation
looking to the consolidation of state
boards probably will meet with the
approval of about everybody except
the members of the boards to be cors~
solidated. Regarding the need of I'm
provement in our rural schools and
highways, a large majority of the cit
liens of the state are in accord with
the governors views.
The governor calls attention to the
fact that the court of Industrial rela-
tions is everworked by reason of its
being compelled to perform the labor
originally pertaining to the public util-
tiles commission and suggests the es-
adjustment of another board to take
over this part of the work. Probably
the best way out OF this situation
would lie in the repeal OF the public
utilities law under which the court IS
operating. In handling cases arising
under this law, up to this time about
all the court has done has been to
grant public service corporations per-
mission to increase rates. These cor
rates without the aid of the court If
permitted to do so.
In the one important case in which
the court has resisted an advance in
rates-that of the Railroads.&c. has
done no more than cause a delay in
their being put into effect. There IS
scarcely room for doubt that in the.
end the interstate commerce commits
sion will rule. as it has done in the
case of the other states that have res
sisted the rate increase and the rates
will be advanced in accordance with
the general order,
The justice of the proposal TO add
an extra tax 90 that already levied on
automobiles is open to question. 1t
may be asked why an automobile
owner should pay a higher tax rate
than the owner of any other vehicle.
in proportion to value.
The levying of a huge tax on oil pro.
duction. as suggested by the governor.
could hardly fail to increase greatly
the states revenue. but that the sum
thus raised would be paid ultimately
by the user of gasoline and crude oil
and in many cases be passed on to the
man who uses neither. can scarcely DE
questioned.
Indirect taxation may be more pop
ular than direct taxation. but it is no
cheaper and frequently not so cheap

clear that he is alive to the needs of
Kansas and it is up to the legislatu
to work out the best possible reme-
dies.
