PRESBYTERIANs TO BUILD

The Presbyterian new project is
taking definite shape. Plans are
under consideration for an up-to-date
library style edifce to be erected in
two units. The first unit will consist
of the main part of future complet-
ed plant, furnishing an auditorium for
worship and a we'll lighted basement
for social and dining room purposes.
The estimated cost of this part is
about $4O,OOO.OO.
The Presbyterian church is the old
est Protestant organization in Hays,
dating back to 1878. The organiza-
tion erected first a stone Manse which
still stands on Wilson avenue. In
1873 the little stone church was built,
which was enlarged six years ago by
adding wing and a tower. A new
modern Manse was built year later
when Rev. Gerrit Snyder assumed the
pastorate The next thing now on
the program is a modern commodious
church edifice which will be a perma-
nent asset to the city. There can be
no question but that the Presbyter-
ians believe in the doctrine of per
severance and give evidence of living
up to their doctrine.

FOR SECRETARY OF STATED
O. McCRAY

Some forty-six years ago, when the
writer was several years younger, we
first met D. o. McCray in OsceOla,
Iowa. We were both young men then,
just starting in life. Subsequently,
we embarked in several newspaper
ventures together, but like most of
the newspaper boys, we never became
wealthy-not so you could notice it,
at least.
For over thirty years D. o. has been
a resident of Topeka. He has been
connected with several daily papers,
and has been employed in the State
House as Secretary to one or two
Kansas governors, and there are but
few men in the State who are more
conversant with every department. Of
State government. He is an uncom-
promising republican, standpatter
who can always be depended upon
TO ''vota 'er straight" D. O.'s native
state is Missouri, but in fOrty-four
wears residence, in Kansas, he has out
grown his nativity. However, ne
never had to be shown. His allegiance
to Kansas and its institutions is above
par. He is also 100 per cent loyal to
his country and friends, and his mt
ness for the high office to which ne
aspires, is beyond question. McCray
is at present Assistant Secretary OF
State and has a thorough knowledge
of the duties Of the Office which eaai-
nently fits him for the job. He is the
logical man for the position. The
Free Press has seven votes that will
be cast for D. o.. McCray at the prlm-
aries in 1922.

st. Omar Commandery has for a
number of years ranked as among the
very best in the state and has always
taken a high grade in the official in
spections, and judging from the com
plimentary remarks of the inspecting
officer at last nights meeting, the
Commandery will this year at least,
lose none of its standing.

a social hour enjoyed.-Great Bend

THE ROSE AND THE RING

The audience that witness the per
formance Of Tony Sarg's marionettes,
Tuesday afternoon and evening, Nov
ember %, at the Normal Coliseum,
will have the pleasure that was denied
to William Makepeace Thackeray,
who wrote The Rose and the Ring to
please a party of children who were
gathertd together at the time of the
Christmas holidays, in a foreign city.
The great English author made draw
ings and recited the stories to the
children. What a revelation it would
have been for him to have seen the
Tony Sarg puppets, carefully worked
out by another artist, correct in all
detail to the funny folk of his imagin-
ataion! The history of Prince Giglio
and Prince Bulbo has charmed aud
fences in all parts of the country for
three seasons, and seems to be more
popular than ever this year.
The puppets are little figures of
wood, dressed to perfection in minute
detail, surrounded by complete seen
cry to scale, with all effects brought
down so that a regular Tom Thumb
theatre gives the illsuion that the
merry moments of the play are inter
preted by real actors. AS a matter of
fact this is true, for a company works
behind the scenes, operating the
strings, sometimes as many as thirty
to a marionette, and speaking the
lines that seem to come from the
mouths of the puppets. Let US sug-
gest that Thackeray's advice would be
welcome prescription, "and in the
meanwhile and for a brief holiday.
let US laugh and be as pleasant as we
can. And you elder folks-a little
joking, and dancing, and fooling, will
do even you no harm"

STONY--LONESOME

Can you think of a name more sug-
gestive of esolation-anything apart
from all that is social, friendly and
neighborly than this Stony
Lonesome? 1t is the name of one of
those characteristic spots of the South
before the Civil war where life was
abandoned to the life-wrecking bust
ness Of selling moonshine whiskey
and its accompanying associations of
poverty and crime.
The better element in the South
Shrank from it as from contagion.
This one had an intimate connection
with one of the tragic events of the
Civil war-the battle of Shiloh. 1t
was the camping ground, by accident,
of Lou Wallace's division of the Fed
eral army. At a critical hour of that
battle, Grant, by courier, summoned
the help of that division in that des-
perate engagement. The Tennessee
river was at a high stage of water
and the Lateral depressions along
that stream were more or less over
flowed, making the river road-the
short, direct road-between Stony
Lonesome and Shiloh difficult but not
impossible. Wallace, unlike Gordon
Granger at the battle of Chicka-
mauga, Stunned the direct road and
took a circuitOus route to the battle
ground, arriving too late to be of any
particular service. More than that,
Grant at that time, although he was
the deciding figure at Belmont and
Donelson, had not secured the con-
fidence of the country, and Halleck-
"old brains as Phil Sheridan called
him-in his swivel-chair at st. Louis,
envious of Grants rising fame, humil-
iatted him by placing him second in
command, but without authority; this
had its effect upon Wallace. When
Grant met him at the head of his div
ision, on the flank of the Union army,
and modestly suggested the position
for his division to take, Wallace re-
ceived the order coldly, uncertain
whether he should obey. 1t was be-
lieved at the time, that he had selfish
schemes in his head; however that
may have been, it is historically true
that Wallace was a political general
and cypher in the holdings OF
events, and the only figure he cut in
the battle of Shiloh lies in the assoc
iation of his name with Stony-Lone-
some.

WILL JAPAN STAND HITCHED?
(By NJ. H. j.

Japan is a super-Imperial govern
ment, the only one left.
As claimed, it is of divine origin
descended like Lucifer, from Heaven.
Desiring to shift from the divine to
the earth-earthy, the Jap framed a
constitution, patterned after Ger
many. VIM. Hohenzollern claimed
divinity also; he proclaimed a part
nership-Me und Gott At this shrine
the Japs wOrshipped.
As the result of military success
they have achieved the Big Head.
They claim superiority. On the ground
of complexion they base the claim of
the Golden face; the Caucasian, they
say, is the Silver face-an inferior
With this postulate, by a reversiOn
of terms, they made the claim of
racial equality at the Versailles Con-
ference; that is to say, they asked
that the superior metal should be
placed on an equality with the baser,
forsooth.
But they are not concerned about
violence to forms. The Caucasian
can look aften that.
You might as we'll find fault with
them for not living up to their word
why should they?
Is not a liar as good as anybody?
Have we not forfeited our word a
number of times, and have we not
prospered, say they; why should one
be squeamish in small matters?
But there is a reckoning at Wash
ington about to take place; would you
not be ashamed to lose face there?
Not at all We are all sinners. No
one of them can come forward and
say: Shake not thy CORY locks at me !;
thou canst not say l did it.
But there is Britain, says an ad-
visor. Britain? She is the heaviest
villain Of them all. Did she not cram
opium down the throat of China
thrust war upon her, and for a round
er, carve off a big slice of her terri
tory? Britain? She is hoary with
her international crimes. Let him
that is without sin cast the first stone.
And it will be a wonder if they
don't break up in a row!

of November 1st. The fire was re-
ported November 2. The Farmers
Alliance Insurance adjuster was out
on the 5th, and the loss satisfactorily
adjusted, Mr.. Feitz recovering full

Mr.. Farmer, do you realize that the
Farmers Alliance Insurance Company
wrote over $3O,OOO,OOO. of insurance
in Kansas during 1920? It has al
ways paid its losses in full. 1t has an
