WHAT EVERY HEART KNOWS


The following sad item from the
Council Grove Guard will squeeze
the silent tear from many an editor
ial eye:
perhaps it wasn't intended that
we be fair with Miss Metzger when
we told about her parties, or per-
haps it was because she was a good
friend of ours and we wanted to do
especially we'll that we made so many
mistakes, but it seems that the god
dess of luck was plotting against us
and we are wondering what trick she
will play on us today. In Thursdays
paper we gave all honor to Miss
Gladys sister. Miss Mildred, and al
though it isn't any more than fair
that good fortune be divided, still we
always strive to tell the truth. And
again last night we mixed up the
names. Mrs. Roy McCardle was the
hostess to the party given Thursday
afternoon, and not Mrs. Roy Metz
ger as the paper said. I'VE are told
that there isn't any Mrs. Roy Metz
ger. Please accept our humble apol-
ogies."
It always runs that way. Let an
editor lay himself out on an article
and the devil jiggles his hand and
dashes his glass of sparkling hope to
the ground Once we tried to refer
to a lady in local performance of
'fPinafore," as san airy fairy Lii
lian," and the proofreader let the
printer get it "an hairy fairly vii
lian." We tried next day to correct
it and it came out, ga very fatty little
unp' And we quit.

A NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR
IIBEI
FOR

Your Uncle Samuel has provided
the newspapers of the country a
fresh opportunity for producing libel
suits. During the conscription period
at the time this country went about
the task of raising an army to "save
the world to democracy" a list was
made in every community an the
land, by board delegated for that
purpose, of the men subject to mill
tary duty. When men so listed fall
ed to respond they were properly
scheduled as slackers and as such had
to face charges similar to those inn
posed upon deserters from the army
The war department is now pub
fishing a list of these slackers by
states. notices being sent to the
newspapers in each county where
missing man is registered. Many OF
these names are so badly jumbled
that it is not known whether the per
sons rated as slackers really existed
So badly muddled are the records
that men frequently rated as slack
ers actually served in the war, some
were badly wounded and some were
killed fighting gloriously for their
country. When bhe war department
makes a mistake and gives out
wrongful information, cOrrectiin IS
promptly made and a due apology
registered.
But here is where the newspaper
comes in for its share Of the trouble.
If a newspaper publishes a false
statement concerning these reputed
slackers, or if it enumerates as slack
.ers men who served in the army it IS
guilty of libel even though the war
department supplied the information
Such case is now pending in the
courts in Missouri The safe way is
to throw the information furnished
by the government in the hell-box.
The thing seems to be loaded.-Pub-
fishers Review.

RAOUL VIDAS AT HAYS MUSIC
FESTIVAL
Is To Be the Artist for the Ffr.s
Sunday


RaOul Vidas, one of the finest of
the French violinists, is to be the
artist for the first Sunday of the
Hays Music Festival. This announce
ment will be good news TO pne lovers
of violin music.
If 'the violin is the most human
of all the instruments that ewurags
the soul of music," the violinist IS
next to the singer in human appeal
In the qualities which give to art its
most endearing expression RaO1E
Vidas holds high rank among the
famous violinists of his day.
Appeared Before Carmen sylvia
At the early age of seven this boy
who is still boy, was called upon to
appear at the court of the famous
Queen of Roumania, Carmen SYLVIA.
in her 'palace of the intellectuaIs. "
His success on this occasion inspired
him with the ambition to become a
great violinist. Later he was placed In
the hands of Berthelier, professor OF
the Conservatoire in Paris and
known as the greatest violin teacher
in France. Then came recitals and
the young violinist was affectionately
hailed as ''the little Kreisler."
The war brought opportunity to
use his talents in a nobler cause than
the promotion of his own ambitions.
The proceeds of innumerable con-
certs and appearances at benefits
were his contribution to France in
her need.
At sixteen he made his American
debut. His appearance at Carnegie
Hall. New York, on the afternoon of
November 10, 1918, was proclaimed,
\in display" headlines of fourteen
newspapers in that city, as a tri-'
umph.
After season in America he was
called back to Europe to fill some ex-
tended engagements. Now Vidas re-
turns to America more wonderful
than before.
Though born in Roumania, Vidas,
the artist, is product of France
AS a type Of her training and cul-
ture. as an exponent of her exalted
artistic ideals, he brings to US a vital,
inspiring message from the sister re-
public now linked to us with such IN
innate ties of affection.
The Hays Music Festival this year
begins on Sunday, April 80, and ex-
tends through Sunday, May z There
will be two programs day for
eight days. Raoul Vidas appears on
the afternoon of Sunday, April 80.

BAR DOCKET PRINTING

The problem of printing and
charging for bar dockets for the dis
trict court seems never settled all
over the state. We are asked fire.
quently what the law is on this mat
ter. There is no law regarding the
printing of bar dockets. The clerks
of district courts must get out the
bar dockets, and they are required to
have them on time and in sufficient
quantities for the needs of their re-
spective courts. They are also sup
posed to have them we'll printed and
in usaIble condition. For this the
counties must pay, and the clerks
should%O. K. the bills, when reason
able, for such work, regardless of
what the board of supervisors may
do. If the latter try to skimp and
cut down the price to an extent that
intenferes with the quality of the
dockets, or delays the court, they will
hear from it very likely, because the
judges are not so particular about
saving a dollar to waste SO in time
and inconvenience.
Very detailed figures have now
been furnished US on the cost of a
docket with six cases to the page, one
printed cover page, several index
pages and trial notices, etc., with
blank colored leaves dividing the
sections. It is a perfect docket job,
and credit to the county and to the
printer. It's selling price runs up to
$194.5O for the 1872 pages and cover.
This just about makes the usual
estimate of 50 for each opening in
the docket, or 81 per page, and since
all other work in the shop has to
be sidetracked and delayed to give
the docket a clear track, and the job
is a special one, requiring ruling and
material to be on hand for a long
time TO be ever ready for it, the
price is not excessive, and any board
of supervisors would be justified in
allowing the bill on that basis. Some
shops may think it is worth more. to
do such dockets, because of their spe-
cial character, and we are not saying
they cannot collect for more, and do
it justly.-Ex.

chosen the mechanical and technical
men in her organization with as
