The departure of Kagey from Be
lott won't leave that district just as
the lawyers and political leaders have
so long known Mitchell county. On
the other hand it will take to Helsing
fors a man who is rather likely to
meet most any sort of diplomatic
tangle with a big broad Kansas smile,
but with a bull dog tenacity that won't
let loose of the rights and privileges
OF American citizenship and business
interests Kagey is going over seas in
the next two or three months with
born knowledge that he will have a
barrel Of fun and simply love Helsing
fors. Folks out in Kansas are rather
certain Helsingfors and those crossing
the present doorway into Russia will
he giving three cheers for Kagey be-
fore the Harding administration is
half thru.
Practices Law in Mitchell County.
Out in Mitchell county Charles
Kasey has been practicinG law since
he moved over from Logan county
after serving as county attorney in
1S99-l900. He has been a member
Of the state bar association twenty
three years and his practice extends
pretty generally over central and west
crn Kansas. He as taken enough
time from the law business to dabble
i'm every political campaign which
came along. Always, tho. he was
fighting as a consistent, determined
Republican. He has been of the sort
who would give Il leg rather than CUR
render.
And so 1t came to pass that because
he was just this sort of fighter, the
two Kansas senators and the Kansas
congressional delegation didn't bubble
or mix words when they gave him
a flat, straight from the shoulder en-
Corsement. There was seemingly
that sort of feeling that Kagey in
al sfr
Uncle sam in about the same manner
he has for twenty years been looking
after Republican campaign problems
ana his friends out in Mitchell county.
With this bit of explanation official
Washington apparently didn't give
much consideration to competition
when it picked a man to open the
new legation in Finland.
VIII Retain Interest in Law Firm.
-Kagey's activity in politics has been
incidental-his diversion and play
time. In the legal profession he has
gone a great deal farther than even
most of the big town attorneys. His
extensive practice brings a big return
annually-and Kagey will retain his
connection with his law firm.
He has served twice as district
Judge. once was in 1918 when he
filled the bench for Judge Ruppen-
thai during his absence in war work.
Again he served during the long sick
ness of the late Judge r. NJ. Pick
Ter. He was president of the state
bar association in 1855 and is now
vice president of the American Bar
association for Kansas. He was presi-
dent of the Kansas Day club-the Of
ficial Republican dinner club of the
state-in 1923. He has a wide ac-
quaintance and in spite of his I'M
compromising Republicanism, has
hundreds of warm friends in oppos-
ING political camps
Kagey is a Virginian. He was born
in New Market in 1876. He expects
to go to his new post in January or
February.

in EVENING DRESS
Kansas Long on Formally Be-
fore q. s. Supreme Court.
Two State Officials Travel to
Washington for Speech.
IT ONLY TAKES THREE MINUTES
But Hopkins and McCIain Are
Ready for the Grind.
Incidentally the Taxpayers Are
Footing the Bills.
IT ONLY TAKES THREE MINUTES
BY A. L. sHULTz.


IT seems to require a good deal of
formality-and considerable expense
to let the United states supreme court
know that the state of Kansas is ready
to present its side of the Howat case
Attorney General Hopkins and Baxter
D. McClain, attorney for the Industrial
court, have both gone to Washington
to let the supreme court know that
this state is ready. The entire pro-
ceedings ought to require two or three
minutes once it is reached on the as
signment docket.
Whether Hopkins or Mccain will
address the court in presenting the in
formal motion for an early hearing
isn't known in state house circles.
Maybe both will talk. Frequently
when a litigant wants an early hearing
Of a case before the supreme court,
he asks that someone appearing before
the court present the motion. Often
in the case of the supreme court of
Kansas attorneys write to the clerk in
the interests of their client Repre-
senting the state, tho, the two lawyers
are on their way to Washington to
properly present the request to hear
the case soon. Later they will make
another trip to argue the case.
Gave Advice to 1. c. c.
Last month Attorney General Hop
kins was IN Washington and gave the
interstate commerce commission some
advice about the railroad rate ques-
ton. He also left an ultimatum with
congress as to the steps it should take
in amending the Volstead act. 1t
seems that the supreme court wasn't
at home at the time and the state at
torney found it necessary to make
return trip.
Attorney McClain, who will also help
get an early hearing of the case, is
former state senator from Allen
county. Both McClain and Hopkins
appeared before the state supreme
court when the Howat case was argued
most of his speech to Fred Dumont
Smith, who had been retained at
nominal sum of $500 to argue the case
las special state counsel. McClain did
not address the court. It seems, tho.
that both will address the United
States supreme court in regard to the
early hearing.
How About the Miners?
There is also a report in the state
house that Hopkins and McCIain will
talk with the labor unions about vio-
call a rail strike. Neither of the at
torneys, tho, made the trip via Pitts
burg or arranged to talk with the
miners about working.
1t seems that H. H. Motter, Repub-
lican state chairman, and Hugh Duff,
state committee treasurer, and George
II. Wark, prohibition enforcement Of
ficer, are also in Washington this
week. State house authorities en-
phatically deny rumor to the effect
that any of the state officials will par
ticipate in a discussion of patronage
while on their trip to ask for a hearing
of the Howat appeal.

OPERATION OF COFFEE PLANT
Ten Thousand Pounds Produced Each
Day by Topeka Firm.

Ten thousand pounds of coffee
day, started from the green coffee
berry, roasted, ground, and prepared
to ship, or one thousand pounds per
hour, is the capacity production of the
Smile company, according to NJ. R.
Davies, manager here.
The coffee plant, which involves an
investment of more than $4,000 in
machinery and stock, is one of the
interesting industrial operations of
Topeka. One side of the production
room is equipped with machinery
which is compactly arranged to save
space and reduce labor involved to the
coffee berries are started into the
roasting oven until the finished prod
uct is packed in tins. it is not touched
by hands. The room and machinery
are kept absolutely clean.
The roasting department is in
charge of J. H. Barnes, who has had
many years experience in roasting and
blending coffees. The green berries
are bought from large importers in
carload lots. The blending of various
coffees is thet process that produces
it's particular flavor and a poor drink
the world. Barnes says, unless the
blending is properly done.
The plant is equipped with the best
and most modern machinery possible
to obtain, Davies says. The roasting
oven is heated with gas. which is said
to produce better results than when
the rooster is heated with coke or
coal. It is the heat and roasting
process that brings out the flavor of
the berry. Few persons know that the
green berry is practically absolutely
tasteless. The berries pass directly
thru the flame during the roasting
process. Visitors are always welcomed
at the plant.

MUST PAY A fine
Members Merchants AssOcia-
ton Hit by New Amendment.
If They Violate Advertising
Code They Donate to Treasury.
WEDNESDAY.

The Topeka Merchants association
has a blue sky law which works with
reverse English. The directors have
adopted an amendment which hits
violators of the association blue sky
law, regarding advertising, in the same
spot twice. If a member buys space
in any unapproved medium he must
pay into the association treasury a
sum equal to that paid for unauthor-
lied space.
The members voted the penalty
upon themselves in a referendum or
dered by the directors. Only seven
votes were registered against the
amendment.
Protection against miscellaneous adj
vertising solicitors is one of the big
features in Merchants association
work. For years the merchants have
been paying tribute TO the various
schemes which were not good adver-
Using, but which must be supported,
because it had become customary.
Under the cooperative plan the as
ISOLATION passes the responsibility of
approving these schemes to a COM
mittee. Very few members have sub
scribed for schemes not first approved.
VioIators Were "Stung."
Recently, however, promoter of an
advertising scheme, claiming to rep
resent a local hospital hit the mer-
chants for approximately $1,000. She
was disguised as nurse and worked
like one of the proverbial lightning
rod agents. The men who were stung
by this scheme suggested that they
should be fined an amount equal to
the sum paid out to the "Phoney''
nurse. AS a result an amendment
to the constitution has been adopted
which will hit all violators of the blue
sky advertising rule in the same spot
All legitimate advertising mediums
are approved by the committee. Pro-
grams, cigar lighters, menu cards,
blotters, dodgers and the many other
methods used for raising money are
taboo among association members.

THE PASSION FLOWER.
Legendary Lore.

In an old Spanish tradition It was
the Passion Flower that climbed the
Cross and fastened about the scars in
the wood where the nails had been
driven thru the hand and feet of the
Sufferer. The early fathers saw in
this Passion Flower many symbolic
things. The column rising from the
center of the flower represents the
pillar of scourging. Above the
column are three stems which are
called the nails. Surmounting the
column is the corona, which symbol
ICES the crown of thorns. around it
is veil of fine hairs, seyenty-two in
number. which are said to correspond
to the number of thorns of which the
crown was composed. The hammer
is also visible with which the nails
we're driven. The filaments suggest
the scourge by which the Savior was
smitten. In its leaves are seen the
