KANSAS BANS LABOR
FILM

Kansas City, Kan.-The state boar6
of censors for moving pictures has re
fused permission to exhibit in Kansas
a film production in which union coal
miners are represented as having won
a strike The permit was not issued
because the board felt that the ex-
hibition would inspire class antago-
nisms that would be damaging to the
public interest" A facetious comment
upon the boards action pro-
poses that the strike in the moving
picture be submitted to the industrial
relations court to find out whether or
not it is according to the cant

Gems Are Cheap in TifIis.

If you want to buy quart Of dia-
monds for dollar or two, go to Tiflis.
Tifiis is the capital Of Georgia, one
Of the new republics that have risen in
the Caucasus on the ruins Of the Rus
sian empire. The value of the
Georgian ruble is worth hardly my
thing at all. But the dollar has such
abnormal purchasing power in this
nation of lost values that 1t seems less
like money than magic. You can get
fine dinner at Tiflis for ten cents,
and room rent in the best hotel for,
81 month.
The Bolsheviki have ruined Georgia.
They have killed industry and trade
and consequently the value Of the ma
tive ruble. The swarms Of refugees
from Russia have sold their most pre-
cious possessions to Tiflis merchants
for food and clothing, until the stores
Of the city have become stocked with
diamonds and pearls and all kinds of
precious things which were paid for
perhaps with a plate Of beans or
pair OF socks.-New York Evening

One Interview in 40 Years.

The Dalai Lama of Lhasa in Tibet
has just given an interview to an cleo
trical engineer. This is the first time
that Lama has talked with a Euro
pean In 40 years. Lhasa is on a pla-
teau, 1000 feet high which is per-
haps desirable as sanitation is nom
existent. Tibet seems to want tele-
graphic communication with the out
side world and there are faint signs
Of an Industrial awakening. Mr.. Fair
ley, telegraph engineer, had an au-
dience with "His Holiness" who
proved to be kindly and very inquisi-
tive. He also visited the T1betan
council called the Council of Shapes"

HAS TABLE SET FOR DAVY
Little Old English Woman Refuses to
Rslinquish Hope for Husband
Who Never Returns.

In whitewashed cottage on the
precipitous slope Of one of the Cla-
morgan hills, little, aged woman
with white hair sat down to her SIM
pie Christmas dinner. 1t was homely

In by kindly neighbor farmer the
previous day., one or two vegetables
and a rice pudding.
She sat alone at the table, but oppo-
site her was a plate with knife and
fork and spoons set ready for another.
1t has been so every Christmas for the
past 40 years, says writer in the
Continental Edition Of the London Dali
ly Mail.
On bright May morning, in 1880,
Lucy Williams, the 22-year-old daugh-
ter of Welsh crofter, was married
at the village church to a sailor, the
son of laborer two fields away. Two
months later Davy set out from the
cottage on the hillside to foot it" to
Cardiff, where his ship was due to
sail the following day.
Lucy cried little, but he assured
her that he would be home again by
Christmas and charged her to omit
nothing in the way of yiands from
their first Christmas dinner together.
Then he passed out through the gar
den gate and waved last kiss to the
little lass who watched his departure.
That was the last she saw of him.

letter from him posted at Nantes,
another few weeks later from New
Orleans, and third and a fourth, and
then they ceased. Day after day she
waited and month after month, but
no news Of Davy. Inquiries at the
shipping office only evoked the infor-
nation that the vessel was long over
due and that nothing was known Of
her. Then she was given up for lost.
But still she refused to give up hope.
She had implicit faith that Davy would
yet return. Christmas, her first Christ
mas married, came, but no Davy. Yet
she omitted nothing in her prepare
lions for the dinner. Had not Davy
charged her? And he might yet come
who knows? And she placed his
plate ready for him at the table so
that he might see he was expected.
That was 40 years ago and every
Christmas for 40 years she has remem-
bered his words and never omits to
put his plate on the table in case he
comes home, and she will 60 on doing

Post Seigrist, Sears, Marini and
Lehsten have been mentioned as pos
sible third man.
Pearson, president of the Cooper
alive Voters League is working day
and night to make the league sue
cess.
Nobody seems to have heard of this
gentleman until recently. He is prob
ably one of our latest citizens.
Nobody was fired off the police force
this week.
The president of the Board of Edu-
cation says: II know 1 am doing right,
| know when / am right
We are glad to hear that he knows
that he is right.
The position of president Of the
Board of Education is very important.
1t is even more important than the
office of mayor SO one can easily I'M
derstand why much thought and deep
consideration should be given to the
selection of such a man. Next term,
unless it happens that we shall need
a new president by that time, we should
be careful that the board uses plenty
of discretion when the man is picked.

The present incumbent is an earnest
and very hard worker and he deserves
much praise.
Seigrist, chairman of the building
committee. devotes much time and
energy to his ticklish position. He is
a sincere advocate of the zone law. He
has contracted quite a few enemies in
his rigid enforcement of the laws, but
it must be said, that he still has a few
friends left
korzinck has promised to give the
public a fine treat. He says he has
something up both sleeves and under
his hat.

ON HOLY GROUND
Mohammedans Venerate Sane
tuary in Jerusalem.
terry Surrounding the Famous
Dome of Rock.

The Mohammedan sanctuary in
Jerusalem on the Mount Of Abraham's
and Davids sacrifices echoes the
Splendor of SOlomon's temple that
once stood in that locality, writes J. f.
Scheltma in Asia Magazine. With its
latticed screens Of eboy, it's brocaded
curtains, its stained glass and mosaics
in their. somewhat faded glory, the
dome Of the rock stands in the soil
tude Of the sacred precinct like one
! Of those places hewn Of single opal
or turquoise we read of in oriental
fairy tales.
Approaching it, the Moslem pilgrim
has to observe strict ceremonial. AS
he enters he puts his right foot for
ward, begging pardon for his sins and
invoking Gods mercy. Walking round
the rock, he must keep it on his right
hand, reversing the process followed
when making the circuit Of the Kaaba
at Mecca. Before proceeding to the
cave underneath, he must probe his
heart and strive for humility of spirit,
uttering the prayer Of Solomon! "Oh
God, forgive those who have sinned
and relieve the injured"
He firmly believes that the rock is
supported by palm tree rooted in
one Of the fair rivers Of paradise, the
tree In the shade of which the beau
ttful, martyred Asia, wife Of Pharaoh,
and Mirias, the sister of Moses, will
slake the thirst of The Faithful on the
day Of resurrection.
After paying his respects to the
dome Of the rock, to its tongue" Ga
broken column, slanting to the roof
Of the cave), to the marks of the An
gel Gabriels fingers and to the sword of
All, Mahomet's valiant son-in-law, he
visits the other shrines of the Holy
Enclosure. There, in the heart Of
Jerusalem, are the dome Of the as
cent, where the prophet was lifted up
when starting on his heavenly jour-
ney, and the dome of the chain. The
chain that used to hang down from
its ceiling was supposed to be pos
sessed Of miraculous properties. When
ever a judge had to decide In a
ullACulL CdSc DclWeeu llClSdnIS WHO
supported their conflicting claims by
contradictory statements, he trans
ferred his tribunal hither and invited
them to touch the links of the chain
while repeating their assertions Then
the truth came to light, for the chain
could easily be seized by the vera
cious, but eluded the grasp of the In
iquitous who tried by falsehood to get
the best of his opponent.
One day, however, the oracle was
baffied by a man accused Of having
borrowed money without paying it
back. Now. he kept this money con-
cealed in a hollow staff which he
asked the plaintiff to hold for him
while he, too, gripped the chain swear
ing that the sum he owed had been
returned. The bystanders marveled
greatly at the chains failure to I'M
ravel the mystery of such clashing tes-
timony, and soon afterward the Won
der-working chain disappeared be-
cause, tradition says, it began to
despair Of sustaining its reputation for
perspicacity among a population so
full of fraudulent resources.
