The farther the state gets into the facts
concerning the HsrYin mine massacre the more
horrible the crime appears to have been, even
more so than the first startling reports showed
1t to have been. There should be no halt until
the guilty are ayprehended and punished to the
limit of the law, no matter at what cost or
sacrifice Illinois would bow its head in shame
before the restof the world were it to be sat
tsded with any other outcome of the state in
yestigation Of the Herrin horror.

Daily Poem By sl sssg:'
THE OUTLOOK.

There 10 a bunch Of cynics
Who take a view Of life
Like medicos in clinics
About to use tho knife;
They see naught but diseases
And ills Of every style,

And everything is vile!
And il with spirit joyous
We laugh away the pains
And troubles that annoy us,
The cynic then maintains.
In accents far from gentle,
That such an attitude

And very, very crude.
II thinking love and Kindness
Are found more often than
Greed, hate and cruel blindness
Within the heart Of man

And sentimental twaddle."

Senator Spencer Reads Mis-

Says He Would Save President
All Embarrassment Possible.

Washington, May 1O.-Nat Gold
stein, whose recent nomination as in
ternal revenue collector at St. Louis
has been the occasion of much senate
criticism, has asked that his nomina-
ton be withdrawn.
Goldstein's request, made in a let
ter to President Harding and read in
the senate by Senator Spencer Re
the appointment, was declared by
Senator Spencer to "end the incident"
indicating that the president would
meet Goldstein's request.
Goldstein said in his letter he could
not overlook the criticism which his
nomination had aroused and desired
to prevent the slightest embarrass-
ment' to the president.
"I cannot shut my eyes, said Gold
stein, either to the partisan efforts
of Democratic leaders to make politl-
cal capital, regardless of facts. at Re
publican expense over my nomination,
nor to the adverse opinion which has
been expressed by many Republicans
who, unfamiliar with the real facts,
accept as true the distorted and un-
founded statements of the press, nor
can 1 fail to realize the harm which
may thus result to the Republican
party, which love, or to your admin
istra ation in which I, in unison with
the general public, have the greatest
pride and confidence.
Therefore, / want to remove my
self as the ostensible cause of it,
Would to God I could in some way
confront every man and woman who
is now brutally assailing me and clam
oring for my political death-tho this
I assure you, they are entirely unable
to accomplish-with the plain and
simple record of the truth as it is and
of my life and public service in which
L live.
Il shall never forget the trust and
confidence of Senator Spencer, who
vouched for me to you nor your own
entire fairness and courtesy
Senator Harrison, Democrat, Missis-
sippi, who on several occasions had
called the senator's attention to Cold
STEMS statement before the senate in
vestigation committee that he had ac-
cepted $500 from the campaign fund
of former Governor Lowden,- declared
in the senate after the reading of Gold
STEMS letter, that he wanted to con-
gratulate Senator Spencer for extricat-
ing himself and his party at the
eleventh hour from a very bad situa-
ten.

day as a candidate for the RePubli-
can nomination for lieutenant COVER
nor. Paulen, who is wen known in
state politics, is one of the biggest
merchants in southern Kansas.
During his term OF service from
1881. Senator Paulen was one or
the most popular members of the
state legislature. He was also rated
as one of the conservative members
of the senate with a tendency to ap-
ply sound business principles to legis-
lation. 1t was because of this record
that Governor Capper in 1915 Sc
lected him to succeed Frank Cum1s-
key, Democrat, as state oil inspector.
Paulen held the office during the four
years of the Capper administration
and during the first term of Governor
Aliens service. He made an excellent
record in the department.
Recently Paulen's friends In state
politics urged him to become a can

Paxton Estimate Says % Per
Cent of Acreage Abandoned.
This Leaves Total of S,445,OOO
Acres of Growing Wheat.
TO PRODUCE 1O6,236,O0 BU.
Present Condition Is Lowest in
May for Last Five Years.
Eastern Kansas Abandonment
Almost Negligible, Report.

May l estimates indicate that Z per
cent of the acreage sown to winter
wheat in Kansas last fall has been
abandoned to spring crops or will be
unfit for harvest. This leaves $40
eco acres of growing wheat on which
tine average condition is "A per cent;
forecasting a probable production of
1O6. .23S.0OO bushels. says the report
issUed today by Edward c. Paxton,
Statist;cian for the United States de-
partment of agriculture.
Last years crop OF 12S 1S4 900
bushels was produced on 10.5SS.uOO
acres and the abandonment vaE only
8 per cent. The average harvest of
the last five years has been on S.473.-
600 acres; the five year average aban-
ment has been about "a per cent and
the average production 115. 5.776,0 900
bushels.
Lowest May Condition Since 1917.
The present condition of IA per cent
is the lowest May condition since the
SO per cent recorded in 1917 and one
of the lowest on record. The April
weather supplied an abundance OF
moisture which the wheat needed and
the plants generally are well stooied
and rank in growth on all the acre
age that sprouted normally last fall.
The spring sprouted grain is thin in
stand, of weak growth, infested with
Russian thistle and other weeds and
on the whole is very unpromisi1g.
Later developments may see a 1uTIneG
abandonment of such fields to sum-
mer fallOw in preparation for next
years crop in the western counties.
The area of heaviest abandonment
of wheat lies on either side of line
from Mankato in Jewell county TO
Liberal in Seward county. The loss is
heaviest in Jewell, Mitchell. CIouc,
Osborne, Rocks, Graham, Ellis, Trego,
Rush, Ness, Lane, Hodgeman. Ed
wards. Ford, Kiowa, Barber. Co
manche. Clark and Meade counties.
where the abandonment ranges from
40 per cent to as high as Sc per cent
with the general average for those
counties close to 60 per cent.
Better in Eastern Kansas.
In eastern Kansas the abandon
ment is almost negligible and the con-
dition ranges from IS to 100 per cent.
aItho some fields are suffering from
toe much moisture and lack of sun
shine. In this section there is I'm mi
lent danger from leaf rust and if wet
weather continues there will be weak
watery straws and poorly filled heads
with accompanying deterioration as
harvest approaches from lodging
There has been slight damage to bot
tom land wheat in eastern counties
from floods but not serious or of
Tuuch consequence except locally.
Wheat abandonment has resulted in
an unusually large acreage of barley
