We settle down to a calm, quiet

Toilette" confides our voluntary COM
mentator, is one Of the few men in
the United States who represent the
people who elected him." We think
those who make his tenancy of a seat
in the senate continuous. He repre-
sents those who cheer him from the
side lines.
Virtually every radical. every Bel
shevist, every undesirable alien in this
country is for LaFollette. He is the
ZERO of the German sympathizers. the
draft dodgers. the conscientious OBJ
Jectors and those who would wreck
the industrial system by boring from
within. He can poll more I. w. w.
votes than any member OF that organ

KAN against any rival Debs is the
only nan'who has n greater following
.of Socialas;s- Ninety per cent of those
who are little ''rOached'' in the head
are for EaE CI=.Is-. The 'lunatic
fringe" is behind him almost to
man.
LaFoliette comes nearer represent
ing those who elected him than any
other man in the senate. But we have
a tolerably catholic personal acquain-
lance extending into forty-eight states
and three territories. 1t ramifies from
bootleggers to diplomats. We don't
know single ciear-headed, clean
thinking American citizen who is for
LaFollette.
We don't say there is none; we say
We never met one.
1t is a relief to turn from La Fol-

who fought for the honor of the army
ana navy on Franklin field Saturday
afternoon We blamed near froze to
death, but we got one grand wallop
from that game that will warm us
thru many a weary year, provided we
are vouchSafed so great a number.
The Army, its goal menaced, its mar
row margin of safety imperiled, Ihad
its back to the wall. At every thrust
the Navy was piercing the Army line.
A three-yard plunge off tackle was all
that lay between it and a touch down.
The cadets massed in the south stand
were roaring the battle-cry, Hold
that hne!" in unison. The cry swept
the field and encompassed it. In that
din on other sound was audible. The
Navy quarterback sought in vain to
call the signals for the next play to-
the team huddled about him. He
might have as easily awakened the
dead ages from their eternal sleep.
And then the captain of the Army
raised his right hand in signal to the
south stand. On the instant the roar
died to whisper. The Navy quarter
back called his belated signals and the
Army held.
That was craftsmanship. Viewed
as an inspiration or as an ideal, it
was worth more to the citizenry OF
this country than all the measured
a La Toilette would be
capable of expressing in a period of
q thousand years.

Sara could not help but see it.
Sara had a will of her own-eke a

WET AND DRY TERRITORY.

Uncle Sans midShipmen from An
napolis are reported TO have gone on
a hilarious drunk at Philadelphia
following the Army-Navy football
game. Officials of the government
who were in Philadelphia attending
the game were shocked. it is said, by
the liberal and open use of whisky
and other intoxicating beverages in
public places after the conclusion of
the game.
1t was said that the prohibition law
was fIagrant1y disregarded and that
no attempt was made to enforce its
provisions, aItho it was obvious that
town section and that noisy celebra-
lions were too apparent not to have
been observed by everybody.
On last Friday, it is reported, the
cabinet meeting was devoted almost
entirely to a discussion OF the man
ner in which the Volstead act was be-
ing generally dis-egarded in the
country. 1t was said by a spokesman
for President Harding that the presi-
dent was greatly concerned over this
state of affairs and that he intended
to take some positive action to put
stop to it or to curtail 1t.
The statement was made that what
most concerned the president and
members of his cabinet was the man
ner in which the moral fiber of the
people was being undermined by the
widespread disregard OF the eighteenth
amendment and the law for its en-
forcement-
But that Philadelphia is not alone
in fragrant violation of the prohibit
tory law is evidenced by the following
local item from a New York paper:
a policeman's boast that his auto
matte revolver could not be discharged
while the safety catch was down cost
a life yesterday in the saloon of Muir
ray G. Campbell, us Eleventh avenue
James Berthe, 20. of $50 West Fifty
first street, a bartender employed in
the saloon, was killed when the revolt
yer. which belonged to Patrolman
John Dynan of the West Forty-sev
enth street station, was discharged.
The appearance of the words "sa-
loon" and bartender in the public
prints must seem strange to the peo-
pie of Kansas, where no such places
or persons have existed for years It
seems to be up to the government to
find out what makes the difference
between the east and the west, and to
try to remove it If prohibition can
be enforced in the west, why not in
the east?
The Chicago News suggests that the
only remedy for the distressing situa- |
ton is so to amend the law as to make |
it enforceable. Apparently the only |
Interpretation to be placed on this |
suggestion is that the law be so
changed that a person who wants a
drink can get it. But it must be clear
that such a course would take the |
country back where 1t was before the |
eighteenth amendment was adopted.
The News draws a parallel between
the prohibitory laws and the tax laws
as follows:
A precedent for the prohibition sit |
uation is to be found in the laws es-
tabhshing the general property tax
These never have been enforced and /
cannot be. The tax laws are being so /
changed to make them sufficiently /
fair and reasonable to be enforceable.
Possibly a way can be found put
prohibition dodgers and tax dodgers
out of business but the existing out
look is not encouraging.

Dtsregarding the sentiment of the
people, as expressed at the polls ear
lier in the month, the lower house or
congress has passed the ship subsidy
bill. 1t was realized that if the mat
ter were left to the new congress 1t
could not get by. A large part of the
membership had nothing to lose by
voting for the subsidy, having been
voted into retirement Therefore. it
was possible to pay a party debt with
out harm to those voting for the bill
The small margin of twenty-four votes
in favor OF the subsidy is indicative
of a greatly weakened support The
country must now pin its faith to the
senate and there seems to be little
doubt that the upper house will not
fail it. 1t is not unusual for the rep
resentatives to pass the buck to the
senators on a measure known to be
unpopular. In this case the senate
cannot safely pass it on to the presi-
dent. who is known to favor the bill.

LITTLE BENNY'S NOTE BOOK
BY LEE PAPE

Christmas
o we wait a long while for Christmas
S65 days,
And then at last wen it gets heer .
One is the most i stays.
Yet wy should that annoy us?
Altho its slow its sure,
And vile it never comes more than
once a yeer
At leest it cant come fewer.
Some children believe in Santa Klaws
Vile some think it's only name,
But they all believe in presents
So the results are about the same.
My favorite Christmas dinner is terkey
And 1 like the drum sticks the best
But even if they're gone wen my tern
comes,
still have a admiration for the rest.

The cinchiest is the 25th of December.

Attention is being called to the fact
that butter is steadily advancing in
price n Topeka. 1t is pointed out
that the price has risen L or cents a
pound every week since frost killed
the pastures. 1t would be nearer the
point TO say that the price has ad-
vanced 1 or 2 cents a pound every
week since the new tariff law became
effective. That law placed a duty of
S cents a pound on butter Fresh
