CAN GOVERNOR ALLEN oUrTq

Governor Allen has been quoted as
saying that he will retire from public
life at the end of his present term as
public men. even presidents of the
United States, have spoken in the
same way. But men like Governor
Allen cannot always follow their own
inclinations Often the people insist
on having something to say about It.
The people of Kansas probably will
take the governors political future
into their own hands.
Under the caption, ''Knows When
To Quit" the Lawrence Journal
World discusses Governor Aliens
proposed retirement from public life
as follows:
Governor Allen has announced that
he will retire from public life and not
be a candidate for any other office
when his present term expires. He
stated at Wichita that he would re-
turn to his home town and take up
his duties there as publisher of the
Beacon.
Observers of the governors admin
| istration have been inclined to look
| for such an announcement. Some of
! his acts have been of the sort we are
| not accustomed to expect from men
who have made up their minds to
stay in public office as long as pos
sible. 1t has been a matter of fire.
quent remark that some of the things
| he did were not good politics.
/ They showed nerve, and they were
the right thing to do from every
viewpoint except that of the politician
who would conduct himself while he
was sin" so that as long a time as
possible might elapse before he Joined
| the "outs." It is not at all to the
governors diseredit that his official
acts have been those of a man who
has net considered everything from
the point of view of his political for
tunes. Oddly enough, his independ-
ent attitude reacted to his advantage
in the last campaign when the stand
he took on certain questions nearly
gave heart failure to some of the old
time politicians.
1t is a sad thing that the purely
political end of public office, for
many men, grows so that It obscures
other considerations, warping their
| judgment and lessening their range
of activity. The man who is able to
stand out a~ainst that sort of thing
is big man.
Some of the men in Kansas politics
| are there to do things for the state,
not to make politics do something for
them. We expect to see Governor
Allen in politics in that sense as long

lem he is supposed to have taken 1t
to Rome to be carried in his triumph
al procession. This is borne out by
the carvings on the Arch of Titus in
Rome showing the candlestick as IL
was carried. Whether it ever found
its way back to Jerusalem is not
known.
These are the most eagerly sought
relics of the temple. but in addition
there are all the gold and precious
stones which the people OF Israel
poured into its vaults to be accounted
for. The gold and silver alone, COL
lected before the temple was built are
supposed to have been worth two or
even three billions of dollars. Much
OF this wealth was no doubt seized by
plunderers of Jerusalem. But so
many passages honeycomb Mt. Moriah
that archeologists think 1t not unlike
ly that some of the treasure was safe
ly disposed of.
The old foundations are so deeply
imbedded in the ground that it will
take much time and careful labor to
excavate the area without injury to
existing structures. In the end, If no
treasure or ancient relics are discov-
cred, at least the mystery of what the
sacred rock conceals need no longer
puzzle either science or the Turk.

II Altho, apparently there has been
no change from the Wilson policy
of "watchful waiting" as regards
Mexico, the waiting probably is for
another overt act, which may furnish
a basis for drastic action. While
Carranza's anti-American policies
have been denounced and his govern
ment overthrown by men now in the
highest offices in the Mexican gov
ernment, every Carranza law or de-
cree without a single exception is up
held and administered by the present
government. The constitution of 1917,
which was Carranza's declaration of
and foundation for his anti-foreign
policy, is defended by the present
Mexican government, altho it gives to
the press statements declaring an end
of Carranza's anti-Americanism. How
ever, Obregon steadfastly refuses TO
sign any document to that effect.
Sooner or later the game he is play
. ing must end.

THE GARMENT OF LOVE.

The misunderstanding world places
Importance upon dress. Our bodies
are clothed with coverings that reflect
individual taste, periodic style or type.
And these things change.
Our forefathers wore knickerbock-
ers and wigs, and our foremothers
wore hoop skirts and laceS of exquis-
would look very funny indeed in our
generation walking down our crowded
streets dressed thus.
This material arrangement which
we give to our walking selves touches
only our eye or sense of mind.
There is another dress-entire1y in
visible-which all mankind wears, but
its peculiar makeup is rarely dis
cussed. In vital feeling. however, does
it none the less exist. For want of a
better way of expressing it, shall call
this dress our-garment of love.
And with 1t no other raiment may
compare.
We walk to our business with It.
We stroll our streets, we sit at our
desks. we eat, sleep, and work with it
clinging ever about us. We know that
it is there. Sometimes il warns US,
but at other times we feel lonely and
cold from its covering-for no maker
yet has conceived a way to make this
| iimperishable garment in such a way
as fully to satisfy the craving soul
which it enwraps.
When it is new, there are thrills to
it that brighten the eye and lift the
heart as does the longed-for toy which
the child handles with its eager
fingers.
By many it is worn for long years,
and there is a growth of tender affec-
ton about 1t that feeds the senses as
does a lowering sun playing hide-and-
seek among opalled clouds just as the
day begins to browse away.
| Sometimes, because of the fit, or
the coloring, or the style. people
change this garment.
But It must be worn by everybody,
at some time or other, or else life
withers away and becomes q very
weary and discouraged affair.

hues- And in HIS inexplainable way,

rough ways of a world that trips US all

Reviving the Dead-2.

| Every woman who loves her hus-
band visions him as q. hero, and clothes
him with a thousand perfections that
make him godlike to her. The tears
| that a woman sheds over an unfaith-
full husband wash her eyes clear, and
she sees him exactly as he is, without
even a shred of illusion with which to
clothe the nakedness of his impertec-
tions.
| Men have always held to the COM
Portable theory that woman's love was
| indestructible. and that no matter
how much they trampled upon it, and
abused it, that it would always be
as new whenever they happened to
need or want it. Nothing could be
farther from the truth. A woman's
love Is as perishable a thing as the
bloom on a peach. Once brush it off
with a careless hand, and it is gone
/ past all magic to restore.
| 1t is true that women forgive erring
husbands and take them back far
oftener than men forgive and take
back erring wives. They do this for
many reasons besides the one that a
mans vanity attributed to them.
They do it because it is often the way
to make the best of a bad bargain.
They do it because it is better for
their children. They do it because
even when love is gone from the
nSr nome ana a settled
position in society are still a consola-
ton prize to a woman. They do it
| because after many, a woman has
ceased to love her husband as a hus-
band, she still has for him a maternal
affection that makes her feel the sort
of protecting pity towards his weak
nesses that she would feel towards a
bad child's.
| But no woman ever trusts again the
man who has once deceived her. No
| woman ever looks up again to the
man who has weakly succumbed to
| temptation. No woman ever loves
blindly, passionately, romantically,
unquestioningly, but once, and the
man who throws that love away can
never regain it. 1t is the very flower
of woman's spirit, and soul, and
body, and when it vanished it is gone
forever. The woman can no morerre-
call it herself than the man can. -
| When you break an a1abaster vase
you may patch the pieces together so
it will once again hold water and be

| flowers, and you may make-shift to do
| it. But the crack will always be there,
ugly, and disfiguring. Nothing can
make a broken thing whole and beau
tiful again.
| So it is with love. So it is with all
and women remembered that there is
no undoing of what they have done,
no plotting out of the past, and that
| they can no more regain a lost love
than they can make a shattered vase
| whole again, they would be more
careful of the hearts they hold in their

There is no doubt that the people

business men in particular. says the
Dry Goods Economist, would prefer
to have tax reform taken up by con-
gress and passed on before action is
taken on the tariff At present It
seems that such priority would have
worked a double advantage. Not
only is tax law revision a matter of
far deeper interest to most of us than
is the upward revision of the tarife.
but in addition the difficulties in the
way of legislative action on the tariff,
and which will defer action on the tax
system, appear almost insurmount-
able. AS a result tax law revision
looms up at present in a very uncer-

His ways were gentle and he smiled
Much like child;

Nor spoke to cause another pain,
And yet to what of good he knew
For sixty long years he was true.
He had quaint and curious style
And liked to smile;
He seemed to love the birds and trees
And gloried in the morning breeze,
Out in the open he'd declare
That he could find God everywhere.
