MRS. SNYDER's GOOD IDEA

The Topeka dispatches report thu
withdrawal Of Mrs. Grace Snyder
from the race for the Republican
nomination for state superintendent
of public instruction. Mrs. Snyder
is one Of the foremost educators of
northwest Kansas and had host of
supporters. With four candidates In
the race 1t seemed to her that, 1t
would be a hard fight and In her
withdrawal she says: Il.
gMy interest in the educational
welfare of Kansas shall continue un-
abated and 1t is my hope that the
many friends who have supported me
will use the opportunity created by
my withdrawal to support J.W., Miley,
a candidate for the nomination who
Is In sympathy with my convictions
and who has at heart the real and
fundamental educatiOns interests of
the boys and gorls Of Kansas"
This is thoroughly fine action
and her judgment as to the ability Of
Mr.. Miley accords with that of those
who know him. He has been county |

HIGHWAY DANGERS.

The wonder is that more acct
dents do not happen on the roads
these days. With hedges uncut,
trees growing to the corners. reck
less drivers and dust clouds when
the wind blows, it is marvel that
even the careful drivers are not
doomed to injury. Then people do
such reckless things. Out ON the
road south of the alfalfa mill Sun
day night somebody deserted
Ford car in the road. 1t stood
where it left barely room for another
car to pass and was without lights.
1t might have caused smashup
easily On the hard surfaced road
drivers stop to repair tires with the
car blocking half the road instead of
going to the wide shoulder or a
driveway, thus increasing danger.
A little common sense would help
things.

THE PASSING COTTAGE ORGAN

On the streets Saturday were sold
dozen old cottage organs. They
were ornate affairs with plenty of
carving, pretty little ratings here and
there and ''stops" by the dozen. They
brought 25 cents to $1.75 each. No
body wanted them any more, yet time
was when they were the popular
home adornment and hard learned
money was spent for them. The cot
tage organ has home touch that the
photograph with its whirling discs
and reproduction of artists voices can
never have. To make music from
the organ required work; somebody
had to pump the footboards and 1t
was a real job. Sarah, who was
strong, was usually the one who sat
at the keyboard. Its notes were of
the plaintive sort, and when the
young folks gathered in a circle be-
hind Sarah Sunday evening there was
some music. The favorite selections
were those like Sweet Adaline"
where the boys could come in strong
with "for thee pine" and 'In the
Sweet Bye and Bye" where there was
fine opportunity for bye and bye"
repeated in tones that came up from
the boots while the girls soprano
notes SCARED and the organ with the
tremulo stop whimpered and walled
its accompaniment. Them was the
days-the days Of the rubber tired
buggy and the old driving horse that
would follow the road with the reins
wrapped around the whip, the days of
square dances and Virginia reels that
the young folks Of today think so
funny, the days when girls skirts
reached to their ankles and the men
wore shirts with hard boiled fronts
and cuffs that fastened to the sleeves
with clips. The row OF old cottage
organs standing alongside the street
curb waiting for somebody to buy
and finally bringing less than the
ralue Of wood for kindling recalled it
ali. They served well their day-but
that day is gone.

A SIXTH SENSE.

Adelaide Johnston in the Univer-
sity Daily Kansan: DO you have
a sense Of humOr? Ii you have
not. why don't you cultivate one?
A sense of humor Is liberal edu-
cation In itself so, while you are
struggling for six hours credit, why
don't you struggle little less and
smile little more?
You have often heard the advice
to look for something beautiful
each day; take another step and
see something amusing each day.
You will not have to go far; watch
the crowd swarming around the
Commons at noon; some one is sure
to do something unusual. Your en-
joyment of the humor of the situa-
tion does not imply that you will
laugh at another PERSONS discom
fort, for we all remember that the
foundation Of good manners is
kindness.
How many people read the hu-
mOrous section of a newspaper or
as IL it were murder

ak and then enjoy fully the humor

THE FRONT PAGE.

What lot Of people are hunting
for the front page of the newspaper
The publicity is worth cash ana the
person who can get it usually has
some method of getting the cash
out Of it.
One of the best ways Is to
rear up on your hind legs and de-
clare in profound basso that the
world Is going to the demnition
bow vows, that we are a modern
Babylon, that modern dancing
movies, motor cars, bobbed hair and
short dresses are dragging the
"peepel" down to the pit ut light
ming speed. The editors eat up this
sort of stuff. The speaker may be
a dried up specimen who never had
any fun or he may be gay old
boy when he is away from home
but anyhow he gets away with 1t,
and 1t has worked for hundred
years.
Another way is to snort about
the moral fibre" of the peO-
pie and decline Of the hOme-that
usually gets hand. Travelling re-
formers who hold up the town for
real money for every speech carry
a considerable amount of this In
stock. They don't know anything
about 1t and usually have made a
failure Of everything from running
a family to their business but they
60 on the principle that 1t is easier
to tell others how to be good than to
do 1t yourself and not half so much
work.
A third way IL to say something
nice about humanity, that In gen.
eral it Is square, honest, trying to
do its best, that our young folks are
as good as any that ever lived and
society is rising constantly to a
higher plane. This does not get
such a large headline as sob stuff
but it is so refreshing that editors
see that it has place. Not much
of It is heard, however, because the
other way pays better.

ance and a small tract of land near

KEEPING UP WITH LIZZIE"

William Allen White: If our earn.
est and energetic friend, Lizzie
who holds forth in the state house
In Topeka, would cOnfine her atten-
tion to the educational needs of Kan
sas. much good might result.
Incessant ranting about nefarious
dancing, iniquitOus smoking and
impiOus dress may make interesting
headlines for public that enjoys
nothing better than to a see public
official make fool Of himself-or
herself-but it doesn't raise Kansas
rank from twenty seventh among
the states in education.
More attention to a teachers
intellectual capacity and less to her
dancing ability would benefit the
public as a moments delectation in
reading a sensational news story Of
new assaults on followers of the ter
pslchOrean art can never do.

Onions as Medicine.

The Hebrews regarded the onion
merely for its culinary value. The
Greeks were fond of both onions and
garlic, the former apparently used
when drinking to increase thirst and
enchance the pleasures Of the cup.
But In palmy days of Rome the two
vegetables had become largely the
badge Of the rabbie. In the Middle
ages any well-set table contained a
plate Of red onions. The chief repute
of the onion in medicine was as a
diuretic and remedy for drOpsy. This
belief has persisted up to the present
time and II is somewhat strange to
find that as early as 1853 onions and
a milk diet were pronounced the best
for dropsy.

nOunced for superintendent Of in

paign slogan is Let George Do It"
G. A. Case of Abilene thinks
Morgan is the man needed for gov
ernor. kansas needs plain, every
day business sense in its gover-
nOr's office and the people of this
section of the state are looking to
that kind of administration for the
next two years." says Mr.. Case,
"The sentiment for w. Y. Morgan
has always been strong in this
county and cOntiues so. Farmers
and business men alike want a real
business man at the head of affirs,
one who will stand for sane economy
and has demonstrated by his own
success that he knows what consti-
tutes sound methods in affairs.
The fact that Mr.. Morgan has re-
fused to resort to grandstanding In
his campaign, but promises to con-
duct state affairs on a real business
basis, is appealing to votes of every
class. They feel that such man
agement will get the result that
Kansas needs. Sentiment for him
is particularly strong with ex-ser-
vice men, who have not forgotten his
work overseas, while friends of the
state schools know that Kansas
educational interests will not be al

Greenfield, Ind.-A parallel to the
case of Mrs. LYDIA SOuthard, the "wom-
an Bluebeard" now serving prison
sentence for the murder by poisoning
of one Of several husbands. may be
developed here through the arrest OF
Clara Gibson Carl for the murder OF
Alonzo B. Carl, her father-in-law.
Mrs. Carl is charged with having
given arsenic to the father of her hus-
band, Frank E. Carl, in August, 1921,
in indictments returned by the county
grand jury few days ago. The death
of her husband followed soon after
that Of his father and under similar
circumstances. A former husband Of
Mrs. Carl, Robert Gibson, also died
under rather mysterious circumstances
in March, 1920. and is now buried In
Springfield. O. It is said his body viii

After their Deaths the bodies of the
Carls were taken to Hiawatha. Kan,
their former home, and buried. In

Hancock county. Indiana. unearthed
evidence that caused it to recommend
the dlsinterment of the bodies Of the
Carls with the view Of determining
the manner Of their deaths.
