ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE.

The new free daily in Eldorado
which was to be bright, crisp
newsy daily that would print all
the news and stand by no faction,
clique or crowd, and which would
give the people Of that town real
newspaper, lasted just a week. And
the young men who get 1t out now
know one Of the big important
truths about journalism: that while
the average man is not natural
liar, when he talks to a prospective
editor about the need for paper In
his home town, the average man lies
copiously, inveterately, unconscious
ly and as the sparks fly upward.
The support man will give to a
newspaper In town is found by
extracting the cube root Of his pro-
mise and soaking 1t for two weeks
with raisins.-Emporia Gazette.

The Salina journal abuses Justice
Silas Porter as political aero
bat" because he gave his Judgment
one way on the bank double ia
bility law and then on rehearing
changed his view. Is 1t the Jour-
nails opinion that once man has
decided a matter he must stick to
Il regardless Of his later view OF
what is just for fear Of criticism!
Seems to us that the finest courage
a jurist can show is to correct his
opinion IL on further investigation
he finds he has made a mistake.
With that kind of a judge the public
is safe; with the stubborn, unchang-
ing perverse Judge 1t Is In danger
One of the best district judges this
state ever had once sentenced a boy
to the reformatory and the next
day sent a letter asking his imme-
diate parole, saying he was con-
vinced on further thought that he
had made a mistake. 1t impressed
the parole board with the fine con-
scientious principle Of that judge
Only a cheap politician would refuse
to acknowledge q change Of judg-
Iment and Justice Porter has demon
strated his high measure Of con-
scientius fidelity by his action.

Secretary Weeks offered a few
remarks the other day about the pri.
mary as now conducted for nOmin-
ating candidates and was rash
enough to tell the truth about 1t, for
which of course he is being round
ly panned by the alleged reformers.
The cold fact Is that the primary
for the higher offices is In disre-
pute. When candidates like Pin
chot, a millionaire, can put over
nomination by spending 100000 1t
means that 1t Is rich mans game
and as most Of those demanding a
primary are rich they know what
can be done with money-hence
their demand for it. When 1t Is not
a rich mans game 1t is gamble
as In several instances In the Kan
sas nominations. II George Snow,
just out Of an asylum, can get over
5000 votes for governor 1t indi-
Gates weak system. Weeks told
the truth and probably is not worry.

Curious the vagaries Of fate.
Here is a pretty young matron out
in little hamlet 80 miles from q
railroad in western Kansas. She
taught school 10 help get start.
The folks Of the isolated little
community, starved for some amuse-
ment, took phonograph to the
schoolhouse, the only building IN the
hamlet that had one large room'
and danced-fathers, mothers,
brothers, sisters and sweethearts'
perhaps forty Of them If the whoie
population turned out. Then up
rises a reformer down at the Dig
city of Topeka and yells to high
heaven that crime, wickedness, and
are stalking thru the
fair state of Kansas and the pretty
Young matron must be barred from
the ranks of the school teachers.
10 and behold, from New York to
San Francisco comes to the front
page the name of Mrs. Clara White
and bravos of praise greet her
from every paper in the country
along with uncomplimentary re-
marks about Kansas Officialdom.
Mrs. White is probably known to
more persons right now than mil
lion and a half other folks OF the
state and chances are that her ex-
perience will be the making OF a
career of prosperity for her.

POOR ROAD DOPE.

Three Of the Kansas candidates
for governor are feeding to the peo-
pie bunk about "every dollar Of road
money spent by the county,"
thinking that will get votes. They
are against state highway control
and that means against the state re-
ceiving any federal aid. 1t is poor
road dope. Kansas throws at the
birds millions of dollars in road taxes
every year that would get results
IL there was some system In road
building and maintenance. Nebras'
ka motorists pay no more license fee
than do Kansans yet you drive to
the Nebraska line over the custom
ary Kansas road, barely wide
enough for two cars, usually in ruts.
Over the line is a smooth 20 foot
rounded highway kept In perfect
order, up hill and down-the /, state
does 1t with regular road crews
Across Iowa is the same kind OF
road, with the main lines being
paved. From the Illinois state line
to Chicago. $50 miles is concrets
road, state built; from st. Louis te
Chicago is another; others are being
built to connect up all parts Of the
state-the state builds them In big
contracts, paid for by a bond issue
met by the motor license fees.
Kansas can take the three million
dollars 1t pays annually for license
fees, eliminate the personal property
tax on cars, and using this income
as q basis for q bond issue with the
federal aid. build a system Of hard
roads over the state that would savt
millions annually on tires and veal
Of 300. 900 cars. State management
Of main highways Is the only sys-
tenn any state has ever found that
gets results at minimum expense

Prayer Of Pops Gregory SAID to Have
Resulted In Entry Of Pagan
Into Paradise. f

The Roman emperor TraJan was
the only pagan. according to medieval
fhe0l0gians, who was received into
Paradise. His salvation came about
through the ofiices Of Pope Gregory
the Great. The pope was one day
walking through Trajan's forum In
Rome, musing on the emperor's many
merits and grieving that 30 good a
man should be eternalIy lost. He ac-
cordingly dropped to his knees and
prayed for Trajan's salvation. and
presently a voice was heard from on
high announcing that his prayer was
granted, but that .henceforth he must
pray only for Christians. 4,t.r
There are several different conclus-
ions to this legend. One OF them mar
rates that Gregory. although bis con-
duct was praiseworthy and success,
ful, broke the rules" by praying for
Trajan's soul, and was therefore pun
ished by numerous distressing ma'a'
dies. Another Is to the effect that
Trajan's soul was sent back to bis
body, which was duly baptized BY
Gregory, whereupon the soul took In
mediate wing to heaven.
The whole circumstance was one
Of the knottiest problems which the
casuists of the Middle ages endeav'
ored to solve, for they all recognized
the humanity which inspired Greg
ory's prayers. but could not forge'
that the unbaptized pagan was. after
all, an unbaptlzed pagan.

Fourteen different plans are pro-
posed at Washington to avoid the
scandal of government ships selling
booze and advertising In European
papers--not In American ones,
though-that they do so. One simple
law would cure the whole matter.
No resident Of this country should
be given a passport unless he signs
pledge and gives bond that he will
not take a drink while on shiDboard
or in any other country and no In
coming passenger should be allowed
to set foot on American soil until
he can prove that he has not taken
a drink on shipboard or In any other
on earth. That would auto
stop all need for bars on
any ships stopping at American ports
and solve the difficulty. Besides 1t
would give places for bunch Of In
spectOrs to see that travellers lived
up to their pledge. Congress. not
being very busy at anything else,
might take this up.

Obituary. n. Cakerice.

John Henry Cakerice was born
near Hagerst0wn, Md, Jan. 2, 1855
and was called to his heavenly home
June 0, 1922, aged 81 years, s
months and 4 days.
When young man he came west
with his parents and spent most Of
his life in Illinois and Iowa, with
the exception Of few years spent
in Kansas. During this time he
was elder of the Brethren church at
Buckeye and also at Lawrence.
In 1875 he made his covenant
with his Lord and was baptised.
The next year, May "a, he was
married to Eliza A. Slifer, who sur
wives him. To this union six chill
dren were born, two Of whom Ned
in infancy.
He was called to the ministry Of
the word in 1885 and magnified his
office. The elders Of the district
of Iowa, Minnesota and South Da-
kOta recognized his fitness for the
office of eldership and with two
other brethren, was ordained to the
full ministry or eldership..
The oldest daughter, Mary Pierce,
passed on three years ago, and
since that time the children Of the
family have found home with him
and his wife.
The remaining children, all living
near Eldora, Ia, are: Harry w.,
Mrs. Alice VintOn, and Irwin L.
There are IA grandchildren. His
aged mother, to whom he was great
ly devoted, survives, also one sister
and two brothers. These, with
host Of friends, are left to mourn the
loss of one whom to know was to
