WHY They Got Nowhere.

A story that hanks back to the Civil
war concerns a troop Of Confederate
mountain volunteers and their colonel
They had been sent for by certain
Confederate town, but before they
could arrive the federal forces were
in command Of the city. The auxil-
iaries arrived in the night and found
the town deserted. Not caring to mix
unnecessarily with the Union troops,
they turned around and rode out of
the town by the first gate and road
they found. Before them stretched .
fine smooth highway and they took to
1t for all they were worth. They rode
all night without passing any villages
or signs of civilization. The country
side seemed not only deserted, but de-.
molshed as well. When the sun peeped
over the Blue Ridge mountains the col
Onel drew up suddenly. whats the
matter, subj" asked the lieutenant.
Dammit, subj" roared the colonel,
we've been galloping around a race
track all night."-San Francisco Ar

COMMONS" Only IN NAME
Delegates to EARLY English National
Assembly Belonged Without Elk
ception to Proprietary Class.

AS early as 1854 in England,
knights were called from the shires to
the national assembly to testify to the
taxable capacity of their districts Two
from each shire were chosen by the
gentry and landowners.
AT first the custom had no purpose
except the desire Of the taxing body
to keep in close financial touch with
the towns and districts. But soon
Simon de Montfort, In rebellion against
Henry III, turned it into gathering
to express and discuss grievances
against the king. In this way there
grew up representative assembly
called the Commons" which sat and
debated apart from the gathering of
great mobiles and bishops, called the
blouse of Lords"
The difference, however, was no
more than relative For In this early
house of commons there were no com
mon men in the modern conception Of
the term. They were all men of prop
erty, many as wealthy and influential
as the great peers, and, indeed, fire.
quently they were the sons and young
er brothers Of these peers. The really
common man in those days had not
even a vote, to say nothing Of seat
in parliament.

what the Mouth Denotes.

Suspicion and seEetiyeness are de-
noted by a mouth which slants to
either side and has lips tightly drawn,
while intolerance. arrogance, and
other traits similar In character have.
as a result Of long study, come to be
associated with a mouth where the
lower lip protrudes. A mouth may not
be an infallibIe guide to character, but
that its shape. form, and expression
is influenced by thoughts emotions,
and actions is readily acknowledged
by those who have made a study of
this most sensitive feature.

Hatcaet Is Buried and Bill
Wouldn't Hurt a Flea
Calls Arrest Compliment
Insists His Friends Card of
Sympathy for Strikers
TacitIy Challenged Law

EMPO RIA. Kan, July % (By The
Associated Press ).--"Henry and me"
were reunited to-day before the eyes
o. the public, and from a speakers plat
form, Henry, Governor Henry j. Allen.
told of his difference with his pal Of
war and peace times, William Allen
White, Emporia editor and author.
The difference was on one thing only
and it did not go beyond that, Henry
said, referring TO his friend affect on-
ateiy as Bill" That difference was on
the Interpretation OF the Industrial
Court act in the phase Of whether q
card Of sympathy can be construed as
violating the picketins clause
Bill" introduced Henry" before an
audience IN the State Normal School
auditorium for the Governors Day cele-
bratfon and Henry responded that
Bill would not hurt hea.
The only time Bill is dangerous,
said the Governor, SIS when he sits
down 10 a double action typewriter at
II timeelike this and writes out his
emotion"
"Bill, or any one else, has the right
to put up a card in his window If he
wants to. But when Bill put up that
sympathy card he was joining in the
e'nsnssssto break down the efforts
of the railroads to keep the trains run
ming. He became the most dangerous
figure in that movement because Of the
faith SO many have in his Judgment
AND so we had to single Bill out, be-
cause he is q leader. His arrest is a
great compliment 10 him.
If trouble should arise in Emporia
Bill White would be brigadier gen
eral in the posse which would 90 out
to protect law and order. we been
with Bill under all conditions, and 1
know he Is not dangerous. He wouldn't
hurt fea."
Turning from his facetious vein,
Governor Allen said it must be under
stood that the action taken against M
White was for the purpose OF enforc-
ing the law, not to deprive anybody Of
constitutional right.
What we need in this country now
moro than anything else" added the
Governor, is a feeling of obligation
to our government, to our laws, and
obedience to authority. u is tho duty
Of every citizen to obey the laws. 1t
was the ruling OF the chief law officer
OF this state that fthe posting of the
signs constituted a violation Of the
law, in that they tended to intimidate
those who wanted to work.
