Z Fair-minded Republicans and
Republican newspapers are ad-
mitting Woodrow. Congressman
D. Fess, chairman of the Repub.
lican congressional committee,
ina speech at Columbus, Ohio,
recently, discussed the arma
ment conference. After words of
praise for President Harding
and Secretary Hughes, he said:
= As a republican and Chairman
of the national Republican con-
gressional committee, ! W $ h
here and now also wish to give
E:,-eI,, ~, President Wilson for
his. part in molding the senti-
}hent of this country and the
world in favor of such a consum-
nation"
II The remark by Congressman
lFess was the occasion of one of
the finest editorial. tributes to
former President Wilson that
has appeared. And it was in the
ST. Louis Globe Democrat, a
staunch Republican sheet. In the
course of a lengthy article the
st, Louis paper says:

In the war, which preced nation

purpose of Wilson was the estab-
lishment of a new order of politi-
cal relations in the world, found

ideas. He claimed no more than
to interpret and to voice the spir-

itself, clean and pure, in every

No liquor nor soft drinks were sold
over, the bars. the dancing payilions
were closed and locked. For the great
majority of the resorts it was the first
time the front door ever had been
closed. and some of the managers had
to hustle about to find the necessary
equipment for keeping the public cut
side.
Pioneer, like Topsy, grew up in the
any attention from officers of the law.
Everybody was too much occupied
with the boom to pay the slightest
heed to enforcement measures.
Named After Gushcr.
1t took its name from a gusher that
came in six months ago. Then there
wasn't a single house on the stretch
holes. But with oil in sight the gam
bier. the bootlegger, the dance hall
proprietor and habitue were not long
absent. None was interfered with, as
the oil men had none of their own
woman folk or their children with them,
In Pioneer there developed die
tator. He regulated everything. He
demanded the saloons sell real red
liquor. But he was more or less of a
benevolent cZar and there were few
er stabbings and shootings than are
customary for this sort Of community.
his mandates were needed and he
carried on supreme.
So Pioneer went along in it's own
sweet way until last week when Edith

KANSAS FARMERS BAR
TENANTS WITH CHILDREN
Lost Time in Taking Them To and
From School Brings Much
Opposition.

Special Dispatch to Ihe Star.
TOPEKA. Kans., September 20
The hard-hearted landlords of the
eastern cities who will not let families
with children into apartments, flats
or homes have nothing on some Of the
downtrodtiea Kansas farmers, for many
farmers will not hire a man who has a
family of children and many of them
will not let children into the tenant
houses on the farms.
C. +. Hall, manager of the south
western division of the state free en-
ployment bureau. has good deal of
trouble finding farm hands without
children TO live on the farms. There
may be something in the geographical
location of Inc farm, because IN some
counties children do not make bit
of difference while. in other. counties
almost the first question asked is
about the children.
Around the big towns the farmers
seem to be Indifferent as to whether
or not their tenants have children,
except when the number is large or
the farmer has a big family of his
own" said Mr.. Hall But ins other
parts of the state the land owners
offer serious objections to hiring men
who have large families.
"One reason appears to be that In
the western half of Kansas it is quite
long distance to schools generally
and the children>have to be taken to
school This takes time and either a
motor car or a buggy, and 1t frequently
takes mans time for two or three
hours a day to make the trip twice
to get the youngsters to school un-
less they live in q consolidated dis
trjct where the school does the

FIFTY-YEAR ROMANCE.

CHICAGO. September 20.-A ro-

century came to happy fruition al

Ellis, seventy three, Of Evanston, and
Edward F. Fox. seventy-slx, of AL

The wife Of Edward Fox died in the
