WITH APOPULAR
SONG ON HIS LIPS
CONVICTED MURDERER
Sang "Old Pal Why Don't You
Answer Me" as the Trap
Dropped, Convicted of KILL
ing Wife, Unborn Babe and
the Ragged Stranger"

Chicago, Sept. 30.-Singing a pop
ular song Carl Wanderer, convicted
of the murder of his wife and an
unborn babe and ragged stranger"
whom me hired to stage fake hold
up was hanged this morning.
Wanderer walked to the gallows
with firm step and as he took has
place on the scaffold repeated a short
prayer after the minister. Asked If
he had anything to say he replied in
affirmation and began to sing,
'tOld Pal Why Don't You Answer
Me?" He was singing when the trap
dropped.
The chorus to the song Wanderer
chose is as follows:
''The long night through I wait
for you.
Old Pal why don't you answer me :?
My arms embrace an empty space,
The arms that held ycu tencerly:
If you can hear my prayer away up
there,
Old Pal Why Don't you answer
me9',
The crime for which Wanderer was
hung was the murder of his dupe in
the fake hold up, who recently was
identified as Edward j. Ryan Wan
derer also was convicted of the muir
der of his bride of less than a year
and her unborn child, but the jury
fixed his punishment in that case at
25 years in the penitentiary.
Mrs. Wanderer and the tspoor
boob" were murdered in the hallway
of the Wanderer apartment house in
June 1920.

Mr.. Lodge will be working for the
executive branch of the government.
The struggle for possession of Mr..
Lodges job as Republican leader is
becoming intense. Senator Jim Wat
son of Indiana and Senator Curtis of
Kansas are equally prominent in the
race Then there are the insurgent
senators to be considered. They are
not over enthusiastic about being led
by either Senator Watson or Senator
Curtis who represent the conserva-
tive wing of the party commonly call
ed stand patterns" The truth is the
latter element is in the majority in
the Senate and he reelection of Sen
ator Bursum in New Mexico has en-
couraged them to believe the coun-
try is with them. While the so-cal1ed
progressive group takes issue with
that statement, the fact is the stand
pat Republicans have the votes to sell
ect any one of their number as leader.
This is critical week in the 1egis-
lative situation. But the conference
among Senators in both the Republi-
can and Democratic parties indicate
that the sparring for position will
soon be over and that lines of cleav-
age will soon be made more dis
tinct. The voice of the country de-
manding more action and less talk is
being heard.

4 HINT TO Missionaries
BY MARION BARTEL.

The pessimist stood at the gates of
his college, and dark discomfort filled
his soul. This isn't the college 1
wanted to come to-" he said. This is
a poor place" So he passed within
the gates and did nothing to improve
the place but complain and scott.
He didn't like the teachers; they
gave him too much to learn. If he
could cheat and get away with it, that
was the teachers lookout. At first he
did not go out for football, but since
he did not keep in training, the coach
fired him. He thought that most
likely the teams would never win the
championships. and so he did not
bother to support them. Accordingly
on the days of the games, he loafed
downtown around the drugstores. He
thought the men of the college were
dubs and the girls were sticks. The
societies of the school-"no good
cheap stuff-no place for a real man"

covery. What a fine place this isl
he cried. This is just what I have
been looking forward to and think
am going to help make college his

and dug in.
He went in for football and tho he
never made the team, he stayed with
the second team, and let himself be
bruised and pommelled and knocked
about for the glory of his Alma Mater.
When the games were played. he sat
on the side lines and cheered like a
demon. He dug bravely thru his les

Summary of 1921.
This is his summary of 1921 and
guess for next year:
"A kindly Providence has blessed
Kansas with bounteous agricultural
yields of the year rank among the
highest. This generous response of
the soil has not only filled the states
larder with health-giving foodstuffs
but the surplus goes far in sustaining
the life of an undernourished world.
The farmers of Kansas are among the
greatest benefactors of the peoples of
the earth, for they are constant in
their contributions to the storehouses
of the nations.
1.-The phiIanthropic side of their ma
ture is revealed by their liberal dona-
tons of foodstuffs to the impover-
ished of other lands, at a time when
financial adversely Big-hearted,
kind and sympathetic, the husband
men of the Sunflower state can be
counted upon unfailing1y to extend
succor to those who are in want or in
misery or despair.
After all, life is what we get out
of it. and we get out of it just what
we put into it, whether of service OF
love or the consciousness of duty wei
done There is no life and no state
to which seasons of disappointment dc
not come. If this is true of ours, as
of others, there still CLEANS back OF
it all the exalted optimism of sturdy

women who have wrought from the
