EUROPE MUST FIGHT EUROPE'S
OWN WARS

The New York Times, commenting
upon the war in Asia Minor, and its
menace of another European con
fagration, says mournfully:
''The now settled American policy
settled until further NOTICES to
stand apart from all European con-
Germs and rejoice that we have
nohing to do with French or English,
Greek or Turk. = ." We may
be right in washing our hands of the
worlds troubles, but it is hardly a
thing to boast of in public. 3" =
What shall be said of those editors
who fought the league of nations
tooth and toe nail, yet who are now
hOarsely adjuring Great Britain, by
all that is sacred to our common civil
ization, to ''hold back the Turk" If
Egnland should reply by asking us to
come along and help, we should have
to draw back into. our shell again and
say that we confine ourselves in such
affairs to exhorting others to do their
duty
The situation in the Near East is
one that makes Americans generally
rejoice that the United States Senate
rejected hte covenant of the league
of naions, which would have mdae US
parties to this war, and the proposed
mandate for a portion Of Armenia,
which would have involved US in the
age old war-breeding jealousies,
hatreds and conflicting ambitions of
Europe and Asia.
The crisis in the Near East is due
directly to the selfshness of the
powers with which we would have
been associated in the league of ma
tions, which has caused them to re-
sumo again the old game Of playing
one little nation against another in
the Balkans that precipitated the
World War. Civilized Europe could
have put the Turk back into Asia
where he belongs at any time during
the past half century, but it served
the purposes of first one and then the
other power or group of powers, to
keep Constantinople in the hands of
the Mohammedan. Certainly the
Turk could have been elected from
Europe for good if the Versailles con-
ference had made sane and a final
disposition of the problems before it.

A VISIT TO THE CAPITAL


The writer spent a very pleasant
day in Topeka, last Tuesday, with a
number of old-time friends-among
the number were D. o. McCray, As
sistant Secretary of State, and c. w.
Miller, Registrar of the U. S Land
Office.
Through Mr.. McCray we met a
number of the officials of the State
House and at a distance we saw Gov
ernor Allen. While we are not per-
sonally acquainted with the the gov
ernor, we admire the stand he took
for the people in forcing the coal
barons-although he had to furnish
men to dig the coal-to relieve the
fuel shortage. His industrial law,
promulgated for the occasion, is one
of the best, and, most heartily hated
by a certain class, of any law on the
statute books today. Several states
have adopted similar laws, and all the
states will eventually fall in line, at
least with the basic principals of the
law.
Through the kindness of Registrar
Miller, we were shown some of the in
teresting places in the city. We visit
ed the State Museum where we saw
more curiosities than the majority of
men will see in a lifetime; were
shown over the government building
the ostoffice-where we met the
new postmaster, Chas Sessions. Near
ly every man knows Charley and had
he succeeded in getting the nomina-
tiOn for governor, would have been
elected hands down.
We next visited the great Scottish
Rite Temple now in process of erec-
ton. 1t will cost over one million
dollars when entirely completed. 1t
is being built of marble and brick.
Each large marble slab being used in
its construction is paid for by some
member of the lodges over the state.
They are also numbered and register
ed in the name of the donor 1t will
be, when completed, the most impOs-
ing, perfectly appointed Masonic
temple in the United States, and a
lasting monument to the zeal and
industry of the Masonic fraternity of
Topeka.
On invitation of Mr. Miller, we ate
luncheon at the Masonic dining hall.
There we met number of prominent
Masons and business men of the city.
Although being a stranger, and also
not a Mason, (Which we regret very
much) we were treated with all pos
sible courtesy and consideration. You
often read about the brotherhood of
man-it was eXemplified in this body
of Masons in the strictest sense.
There were perhaps two hundred men
"a happy family of bankers, mer-
chants and artisans. Although they
represented the wealth and perhaps
the intellect of the city, were as COM
mon and affable as any men you meet
in everyday life. Caste, politics or
religion had no place in their social
relation one to another. We will long
remember with pleasure our enter
tainment at Masonic luncheon and
the pleasant visit with the business
men of Topeka.

public Offices" is the chief plank in
Ed Clemans' platform for Secretary
of State. Laying aside partizanship,
I think of the State Department at
Topeka as the one best administered
and of greatest service to the people /;
for it has been an Office of real ser
vice by the splendid men who have
served as Secretary of State. Billy
Edwards, Gene Denton, ]. r. Bur

and Lew Pettij Ohn-all Republicans,
but first of all, servants of all the
people without regard to political be
Hefs. 1 am a Democrat, but l am fair
enough to pay this just tribute TO
the men who have so efficiently ad-
ministered the Office of Secretary of
State"
And Mr.. Clemans is right. When
he becomes Secretary of State next
January, his one ambition will be to
follow the fine record of his worthy
predece cessors-fOrget that he is a
Democrat in the conduct of his office
and give all the people honest, eff
cient and painstaking service. The
voters will make no mistake in elect
ing that kind of a man.

A DEMOCRATS FINE TRIBUTE

When a man is elected to a state
Office he becomes the servant of all
the people without regard to politics.
Probably no state department at To-
peka has been better administered
during the past twenty-five years
It is an office of real service to the

people, and every Democrat in the
state who has had business in that
Office will bear testimony to this fact.
Having this in mind the Democrats
picked as their candidate for Secre-
tary of State, one of the best qualified
men in Kansas, in the person of Ed
Clemans, a lumber dealer of Long

appreciate the fine tribute to the men
who have served as Secretary of

From the Noise and Turmoil of
Busy City
We are not unmindful of the fact
that the future growth and achieve
ments of this great western country
is up to the young men and women of
the present day. The older genera
tion has laid the foundation, through
toll and hardships, and have made it
possible for the younger generation
to more quickly complete what they
have so laboriously begun.
The trackless prairies, by cultiva-
ton and hard toll of the hardy men
and women, then in the prime of life,
who came into this country thirty or
forty years ago, with dauntless cOur-
age and an abiding faith in the future
of this country, to build a home and a
heritage for their children, the major
ity of whom have passed to their re-
ward, have builded better than their
expectations.
Generations of men arrive and pass
Out of this world like blades of
grass"
The parents of this young couple
were pioneers of Kansas, and they
have only taken up that work they
had left off, which will be left in
turn IN the hands of a still younger
generation who will follow in their
footsteps
In August 1921, Mr.. and Mrs. j.
NJ. Wiesner purchased nineteen lots
in Block 2, Highland Addition in the
northwest part of the city. 1t is one
of the highest and most picturesque
spots in the city. You can see Yoce-
mento seven miles away to the west,
! also you have a fine view of Big
Creek and the bluff west, and the fine
farms that dot each side of the
stream. Quite a heavy growth of tim
Der along the creek makes a beautiful
| landscape view. The ground has
been nicely laid out The houses fac
ing each other with a>cement walk be-
! tween and the plats in front of the
houses have been planted to blue
grass. 1t is being well watered and
cared for which makes a rather small
but beautiful lawn
Seven houses have been buiiU-all
modern-which have been sold and
are now occupied.
! The first house nearly in the center
of the north row of houses, is occu-
! pied by the owners of Mission Mount,
/ Mr.. and Mrs. J. NJ Wiesner. The
others are D P. Sims, F. Lowell, Prof.
A NJ Vance, NJ. L. Stevenson, E. r.
King, and the Upton Brothers, new
arrivals in the city and proprietors of
/ the Peoples Bakery. DR.. Herman al
so owns two lots on which he expects
soon to erect a residence possibly
two modern houses. There are sew
eral other lots on which houses will
/ be built
Dr.. Little also makes his home on
Mission Mount with Mr.. and Mrs
Wiesner and will eventually become 2
resident in fact.
Thus Mr.. and Mrs. Wiesner are
building a monument and a home fol
themselves and their children to en-
joy for the years that may follow.
