CRIME WAVE is GENERAL
DIR. E. j. Kulp Tells High School
Graduates of Conditions.


In a baccalaureate address to the
members of the Topeka high school
graduating class, Sunday morning. DR..
Z. J. KuIP, pastor of the First Meth
odist church, declared that a crime
wave was sweeping the country, TAX
ing all before 1t, and he cited instances
and figures to prove his theory.
II know a crime wave is taking this
country by Storm said Kulp. II
know it because have figures that
prove it to me, and to any one else
who is credulous. In 1914 the federal
courts of this country handled 9.0O3
indictments. In 1921 the courts han
died 10000 cases, 10000 of them on
charges of violating the Volstead law.
Let's forget those 80, 900 charges at
VoIstead. and deal with the other
10000. Think of it-a grand total of
1000 per cent more cases now than in
1914"
Doctor Kulp laid the blame at the
feet of the God of War.
THE after-effect of war is terri
affected. That may be why 10000
making their living by dealing in
crime, either in a small way or in a
large way, either by petty thieving or
by stock swindles, they are keeping
body. and soul together with crime"
In adapting his sermon to the high
school students. Doctor Kulp made a
plea for the good will OF the gradual
ing class. urging them to stick by t. @
principles of Jesus Christ, and help
the world of sin to the light of God
illness.

TELLS OF GREATEST PERIL
Persons of Today Seek Dishonesty In
stead of Honesty, Says WOmer.

Persons of Today Seek Dishonesty In
stead of Honesty, Says Womer.
"An Interpretation of life in the
terms of pleasure rather than service.
of comfort than hardship, and of dis
honesty instead of Christianity-th
is the trouble with the world today,
and her greatest peril" declared DR..
Farley Paul Womer, president OF
Washburn college. in the baccalau-
reate sermon Sunday morning to the
graduating class of 1922 of Washburn
college.
THE Transmission of Intellectual
and Moral Wealth" was the title Of
Doctor Womer's address. In it he
elaborated upon the fact that the col
leges of America today are primarily
for the training of the ablest youths
of the generation
THE young people often take these
institutions too lightly" said Womer.

itage and repay the laborS of genera
tons of men and women before
them"
condemned those who cheat and lie
during the week, and sit sedately in
church pews on Sunday.
II would as soon live under a dis
honest form of government as in
community where the people make
practice of cheating then attempt to
rectffy it by a Sunday church going.
MacVicar chapel was filled at the
services. The faculty. clad in gowns
and caps, sat on the platform, and the
seniors were grouped in the front of
the room. The seniors and faculty
marched from the library to the
chapel at 10:45 o'clock Sunday morn
ing. DIR. A. E. Gregory, pastor of the
First Congregational church, gave the
invocation.

Win A RATE CASE
MilIers and Grain of Southwest
Gain a Victory.
Ruling of 1. C. C. FOrestalIs Re-
ductiOn in Flour Charges.

A victory, temporary at least, has
been won by the millers and grain
products men of the southwest, in
their alteration with the northwest
ern miIlers over a preferential freight
rate to the east coast of the United
interstate comm cree commission re-
ceived here by z. H. Hogue-and. COM
merce counsel for the Southwestern
Millers' League
The ruling of the commission fore
stalls a reduction in the rates on grain
which would have given them the
benefit of a widespread differential
on the rates to New York city.
The carriers published, at the re-
quest of the shippers, schedule of
rates which was designed. they said,
to meet the competition of, the lake
traffic. The carriers claimed that
wheat from the northwest was being
diverted to Duluth, and from there
shipped over the lakes by boat to
Buffalo. at a rate which they were
forced to reduce their own rates to
meet.
MilIers Filed Protest.
Southwestern millers imm ediateiy
protested against the reduction of
rates to give preference to theHnorth-
western shippers. In the evidence in
troduced by the protestants they
showed that instead of vast guam
titles of spring wheat being diverted
to Duluth, as claimed by the carriers,
the amount of spring wheat being
shipped by lake had been steadily
and RAPIDLY deer Easing for the past
three years. Durum wheat, which is
exported altogether for the manufac-
ture of macaroni. spaghetti and
vermicelli, had been shipped via Du-
luth in larger quantities.
The commission held that while the
carriers had the right to reduce their
rates to meet competitive conditions
they could not reduce them below a
point of reasonable compensation, or
to a point where they resulted in the
showing of undue preference to one
district over another. The commits
sion held that the reduction of the
thru rate from northwestern shipping
points would result in undue prefer
ence over the shippers of@the south
west. and forbade the reduction.
Southwestern millers hope that the
carriers will offer to reduce the rates
for the northwesterners, and also to
reduce the rates for the southwestern
millers to eliminate the preference.
