The Bonus Squall.

Bonus legislation has blown up "a
squall at Washington. 1t is really
not to be wondered at, for bonus
legislation offers a subject upon
which ONE needs but ito take a posi-
ton Git matters not what position
and straight way he is the object of
cutting rebukes.
There seem to be two very extreme
groups i'm the debate. The ex-
tremist who fights for the service
men yies with the extremist who
fights for business interests. Says
the first, THE soldier boy has lit
coming to him and it doesn't matter
ding ding what the effect will be
upon the nation" Says the hat
ter, Its helluva soldier who goes
out to fight for his country and then
comes home to wreck it by damphool
legislation.
Most of us are not extremists,
Most of us are intimately connected
with both sides of the controversy.
We are service men ourselves, or
have service men i'm our families.
We are earning our livings i'm bust
ness. We know something of the
condition i'm which the soldier was
left by the war. We also know
something of the effect of high taxes
upon business. So we say to our
selves, 1--WE can give the soldier his
bonus very easily, but it may set
back the return of prosperity and
continue unemployment for time.
1t may have the effect of making his
troubles SO much greater that the
$50S or so he gets will mot have put
him ONE whit farther ahead a year
from now. The alternative is this:
We can go ON slashing expenditures
and cutting taxes, hurry putting
business back ON it's feet and max
ing more jobs and really benefit the
service man more by the indirect
metod than the direct one
The consideration that makes US
pause rather than indorse the latter
method of helping the soldier is that
so many of the service men are i'm
actual want, needing help impera-
lively And yet we might help the
thousands of needy ones without
giving to the millions who do not
need it, except that that dis charity
''and we've got REAL money coming
to us as the service extremists say.
There is much to be said ON both
sides, and people who take mid
die position are not certain which
way to turn. On one point only are
they certain, and that DIS that the
bonus legislation will eventually
pass. And it may pass, not be-
cause Of high idealisnl, but because
it would be a disastrous thing for
amy political party not to pass it,

IMPROVE LAKEWOOD PARK
VIII Be Most Attractive for Holding
Picnic Parties.

Lakewood Park, east of the Santa
Fe tracks, and south of Twentieth
street, is undergoing a course of i'm
provements which will soon make it
one of the most attractive for picnic
purposes, of all the city parks.
Electric lights have been installed,
several camp stoves for cooking have
been built and are supplied with fire
wood, picnic dining tables sufficient to
accommodate some $50 persons have
been placed in the park, and well has
been drilled and a pump installed, to
supply water. There is no city water
at the park.
In the center of an open green, near
the center of the park, a rustic shelter,
octagonal. is to be constructed of ma
tive timber. The shelter will consist
only of a roof, supported on logs for
pillars. For the present no floor will
be put in it.
Across French creek, which winds
thru the park, there are several con-
crete bridges and in a nook near the
central part of the park a house for
the caretaker, who will live in the park
the year round. has been constructed.
At the southwest corner of the park
there Is a level space large enough
for a small baseball diamond which
will be laid out later. Automobile
roads into the park have been con-
structed and improved.
The last of the improvement will
probably be completed within a week,
with good luck, Robert D. McGiffert,
park commissioner, says

Middle Key on Jailer's
Ring Is Murderer s Key
CoIored Man Tells Interesting Story While Waiting
See Friend Confined in County Jail-Jaiier Tells
Why Old Fashioned Bolts Are Used

An old colored man sat in the office
of County Jailer Charles Hickson.
waiting to see one of the prisoners
who he said was a friend of his.
The darky's eye fell on a bunch of
keys lying on the jailer's desk, and
he seemed fascinated by the huge
brass implements.
"Dey somepin' funny bout prison
keys" he said. ''Ev' time you secs
dem, deys three on ring. Eber no
uce dat? ATS right, yessuh.
And de middle one is de muir
derers' key ev time, yessuh.-'
A bystander idly picked up the
three keys on the ring and showed the
ing them, any one of the three could
be the middle key
sail right sub. de jafler, he knows
which is de middle key. He amt
tellin', but dey's a middle key there
amt dey, no matter whichaway you
holds dem Yessuh, dey say de mid
die key is de murderers' key De
tailer, he knows which is which OBJ
dem keys, yessuh."
And. then he started on a disserta-
ton on Jail keys which covered sew
eral Kansas followers and showed
that the old man knew whereof he
spoke e..
~ Use Big Locks.
The reason Jail keys are so big is
because the big old fashioned bolts
are harder to open than the lighter
latches might be, and it takes a big
key to open them.'' Jailer Hickson
said.
NO. I don't believe there is any
thought of the necessity of using them
for. weapons, altho some of them are
large and heavy enough to serve for
that purpose"
Hickson was a deputy marshal in.
Holton, several years ago, when the
marshal locked a man up in the hold
over one night. The marshal and
were the only ones who pos
sessed keys to the Jail
The next morning when the mar
shall came down town the first per-
son he met on the street was the man
he had locked up the night before.
He went straight to Hickson and de-
10 know why Hickson had re-
leased his prisoner. Hickson hadn't
even known the man was in Jail, and
protested his innocence OF the whole
affair, but the marshal was sure that
fiickson had left his own keys where
some one had got at them and re-
leased the prisoner.
The thing ran on for some weeks,
