Jess w. Miley is the logical can

Edwin D. McKeever. Topeka attor-
ney, now engaged in giving Europe
the once over. finds some differences
between Topeka and Dear or Lunnon.
Especially in the matter Of journal
istic practice and viewpoints on pro-
hibition.
McKeever has sent back to bar
barrie Kansas some clippings from
London newspapers. One of them he
submits as. Exhibit A" in a proper
abasement of the spirit of newspa-
per which makes an error.
For a lawyer to make amends for
an error it is only necessary to file
an amended petition and make an
other item on the bill to the client.
McKeever. however, thinks that the
humility of the newspaper which
sometimes gets facts tangled should
run something like the following clip
ping from the London Daily Express:
APOLOGY TO MIR. E. B. LOACH.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1922-07-22

Sir, allow me first to go and bury

Follow me-" said Jesus, land leave
the dead to bury their own dead"

Then He went on board a fishing
boat, and His disciples followed Him.
But suddenly there arose a great
storm on the Lake, so that the waves
threatened to engulf the boat: but He
was asleep. So they came and woke
Him, crying,
Master, save US, we are drowning"
why are you so easily frightened %
He replied, you men of little faith 90
Then He rose and reproved tho
winds and the waves, and there was
a perfect calm; and the men, filled
with amazement, exclaimed,
What kind of man is this2 for the
very winds and waves obey hirn!"

The Daily Express regrets that
owing to an error in transcription the
name of a perfectly innocent person.
Mr.. Edward Benjamin Loach, was
substituted in Wednesdays issue for
that of another man. Thomas James
Mayo, who was convicted at London
Sessions for the theft of two terriers
which had been treated with great
cruelty.
Actually, Mr.. Loach was the owner
of one of the stolen dogs. and was
called as a witness by the prosecution.
The Daily Express" offers to Mr..
Loach sincere apologies for the error.
and greatly regrets any annoyance or
Inconvenience it may have caused
him.
If McKeever will investigate the
differences in the libel laws of the
United States of America, and Britain,
he'll find one of the sources of the
variation in apologies. And If he'd
read some of the BEG Your Pardon"
items in American papers he'd find
just as much grovelling as the Eng
hsh paper INDUCES in.

Jess w. Miley has always proved
himself to be a broad-minded ex-
ecutive who waits to agree with
his subordinates on fundamental
principles; he has always been will
ing to leave the working out of de-
tails to the individual himself.
Jess w. Miley knows men. He
is believer in sane education. To
my knowledge he has no intention
of exploiting the position of State
Superintendent for personal ends
He has no pet theories to peddle. I
am qui,e sure that If Superinteh-
dent Miley is elected we will hear
nothing of a Anti-This or That
campaign that will in any way
make the State Department of
Education ridiculous.

I have been quite closely asso-
ciated with Jess w. Miley in school
work and few men know him bet
ter than I do. We worked together
in the schools of Crawford county
for some ten years. He was Chair
man of the Board of Trustees
while it was my privilege TO be
principal of the Crawford County
High School. 1t was here that Su-
perintendent Miley proved to me
his real value as an educator. No
matter what question came up, he
was always on the right side and
he ever showed himself to have
the big and broad vision that we
expect in an administrator. Kan
sas schools would have a great
friend in this big-hearted school
man.

We're notifying their $4,000 miners in

months ago while the operators are
rushing plans that will mean produc-
tion of 30,0OO,000 tons of coal year.
This activity followed the signing
of an agreement last night.
Both sides today heralded the agree
ment as victory. Miners consider it
triumph because they retain the
check-off and are to receive the same
wage scale as that in effect on March
81. The operators are jubilant be-
cause they arranged a district agree
