ASKS FOR s13, ,985 DAMAGES
j. p. Pierron Files Suit Against
EIdorado Citizens.

Alleging that his own property, con-
sisting OF SS,735.64 worth of oil well
castings and drilling equipment, was
attached and sold at sheriffs sale to
satisfy a judgment obtained against
another. J. P. Pierron, of Kansas City,
today filed suit in the district court to
collect 13,985.64 from four citizens
OF E1dorado, Kan, Guy A Sherman,
of Abilene. sheriff of Dickinson county,
and the Fidelity & Deposit company,
of Maryland. the sheriff's bondsmen.
Pierron claims that Sheriff Sher-
man attached and sold the property
in order to satisfy a judgment OBJ
tanned by E. c. Houser and G. J.
Mowcy, of Eldorado, against the
Bankers Oil company. G. L. Wolfe
and l.. L. Bennett, of Eldorado, were
the purchasers. The property was
sold last April. Pierron says he
warned Sheriff Sherman and other in
terested parties that the property be-
longed to him and should not be at
tachsd.
Making all the parties defendants,
Pierron asks for the recovery of the
$S,735.64, together with $3.50 which he
says he expended trying to recover
the property, and $500 exemplary
damages; also $4,000 from the Mary
land corporation on the Sheriff's bond,

TURKEY PRICES THE SAME
Topeka Dealers Do Not See Price Re-
duction for Thanksgiving.

Topeka poultry dealers are doubt
full as to whether or not there will be
q. reduction in the price of turkeys in
Topeka this fall.
Dispatches from San Francisco to-
day state that the turkeys are from 9
to II cents cheaper this fall. The To-
cal dealers believe the prices on tur-
keys for the Thanksgiving market will
be practically the same as in 1921.
They point out that the birds are
scarce in eastern Kansas and the
farmers may demand a higher prices
for them.
Turkeys are plentiful in Texas and
dealers in that state might reduce the
price about 10 cents per pound, but
this would probably apply to the
Christmas market, dealers say. An
other reason pointed out for the
farmers holding out against a price
reduction is that the number of tur-
keys in this country has decreased
over so per cent in the last few years.
The poultry dealers now class turkeys
as luxury.

Mr. Cannon at Home.

Mr.. Cannon has reached home. In
an interview with press correspond
ent, who had promptly called, he said:
Washington. and with the exception
of those two unsought vacations (re-
ferring to his two defeats), l have
been there ever since. l decided to
retire voluntarily, but" he added visit
fully, I'm just bit sorry now
Naturally. for a time. Danville will
appear slow. The old war horse will
miss the JOY Of battle. Especially after
March next. when he settles down to
the quiet OF private life and the so
ciety principally of his books. He will
often turn to Capitol Hill, with
thoughts Of the scenes he has wit
messed and the history he has helped
make there, and with curiosity as to
how things are moving in his absence.
1t is easy to believe that a copy Of the
Congressional Record will find its way
daily during congressional sessions
into the Cannon household and be ac-
corded hearty welcome.
But there is consolation for the
exile. If after a few years he finds
public life essential to his happiness;
that home is where the heart is, and
that his heart Is in Washington, he
can communicate the fact to his for
mer constituents and arrange for a
return. Doubtless they will be as glad
to send him as Washington will be to
receive him back, and he can resume
lawmaking after the old fashion at the
old stand.
The understanding is that Mr.. Can
non will continue his resolution not to
grow old, and that Father Time, who
knows a good man when he sees him.
will, with the discretion that some
times marks his conduct. continue to
keep his distance.

This New York demonstration should
make an impression here in Washing
ton, where the sacrifice Of children is
continuing at a shocking rate. New
York wasted 1864 child lives in 1921.
Washington is wasting not so many,
but far too many this year. Every
child who is killed in the streets Is q
victim Of somebody's carelessness,
perhaps his own. perhaps that Of q
driver. The problem is to cure that
carelessness on both sides.
Every week. Of course, should be
safety week here and elsewhere.
Evry day should be safety day. Chill.
dren should be constantly impressed
at home and at school with the fact
that there is danger in every street.
Life is no longer as simple as 1t was.
Conditions in the city are complex.
The streets are not the safe play
spaces they were during the childhood
Of those who are now the parents.
This present generation of children
must run a risk that their forbears
did not face, and they must be taught
carefulness and self-protection.
Let Washington have a demonstra.
ton for the sake of safety. Let every
child in this city have brought i'm.
pressively to him or her the fact that
the streets hold deadly dangers, and
that by care alone can life be secured.

The Texas Senatorial Contest.

A nice point has been raised, and
will soon be argued in court, relating
to the Texas senatorial contest.
f. 3. Mayfield is the democratic
nominee. An Independent organiZa-
| ton Of democrats, supported by the
regular republican organization Of the
state, has nominated in opposition to
Mr.. Mayfield George f. B. Peddy, on
the charge that Mr.. Mayfields nom.
ination was secured through the in
fluence of the ku klux klan.
The secretary of state has refused
to permit the name of Mr. Peddy to
appear on the ballot, and an appeal
has been taken to the federal court
at Mobile in Mr.. Peddy's behalf. The
case comes on for hearing on the 18th
instant.
This is taken from dispatch from
Dallas:
The question of Peddy'S having
voted in the democratic primary, and
the claim that he is ineligible for the
republican nomination on this ground.
is also replied to in the bill. 1t sets
forth that Peddy voted the democratic
ticket. thinking at the time that he
was voting for certain doctrines, or
political principles. for which the
democratic party always stood and
that after the primary he found that
the said democratic party in Texas
had been secretly seized upon and
controlled by the said ku Klux Klan,
and that the said MaytieId had been
secretly put forward by said Ku Klux
klan as its candidate and his nom
ination secured by such secret and
fraudulent means
The klan is reputed to be strong in
Texas, and this challenge of it adds
to interest in the senatorial race.

Four in a. Row.

The Yankee worm did not turn. The
Giants took the fourth game and won
the world championship in dashing
style, with a score four to nothing.
The conclusion Is inevitable that the
best team won. Breaks" cannot 40.
count for the unbroken succession OF
victories, though here and there luck
may have favored the winners unduly.
But it Is an axiom in this sport that
a team makes its own luck. A bad ball
team cannot be consistently lucky
throughout season or q series, while
a good ball game cannot be uniformly
unlucky. Class tells, and it was class
that told in the series in New York.
These two teams, playing five
games. only four ef which counted.

The winners batted over three hun

fensive play does not win games
against heavier hitting. Many a
pitcher, of course. delivering flrst-class
! base ball from the mound, has been
beaten by poor support, but as the
+, old-time leaders Of the game say, "You
can't win games unless you make
runs" In only one game was an error
actually a factor in the winning, and
that was the third, when booted
ball gave the Giants a chance for a
run-making drive. And that was the
only error the Yanks made in the
whole series.
This series just closed should leave
no question whatever in any mind as
to the squareness of these interleague
contests for supreme base ball honors.
The minimum number of games was
played. Five contests were actually
staged, but one was tie. The total
receipts of that tie game were given
to charity. The players of the two
contending teams take S1S5,4S2, at
6G-40, and the runners-up in the two
leagues divide up S61,S27. The share
of the clubs from the four productive
games will be Ss2,436. Had another
game been played the players would
have received no part of the revenue
and the clubs would have had the bulk
Of the extra money. AS it stands, the
share of the two clubs will, it is esti-
mated, just about pay the expenses of
the series. which are unusually heavy.
Had the games not been played on the
square there would have been a temp
tation to prolonS the series in order
that the club owners might have had
a larger share of the proceeds. There
can be no doubt whatever that the five
contests were fought out strictly on
their merits, without shadow of sus-
picion as to the sincerity Of the ef-
forts Of every member of both teams.
