WORKERS TO PAY
Shopmen Who Go Back to-
Work Assessed Two Days Pay.
Half of Those Who Went Out
July 1 Have Returned

Railroad shopmen who left the San
ia Fe shops on strike on July 1, and
are now returning to work at their
crafts with other railroads, are as
sessed two days pay out of each
month, which goes to the relief of the
men who are still out of work.
Out of the number OF Santa Fe men
who have been employed during the
past week on other roads, only one
has declined to enter the service of
his craft again because of the assess
ment levied against the men who are
working.
100000 Back to Work.
Out of 100000 shopmen who went
on strike July l, it is estimated that
100000 have gone to work on the
various roads which have signed the
contracts.
The monthly contribution of the
men who are working will average $40
per month. and this means $4,000 200
per month in Nthe relief fund. This is
in addition to contributions which are
being made by other unions which
are giving to the shop craft members
stated sums each week from their
treasures. 1t Is hoped that the as
sessments levied against the men VINO
are working, and which they are pay
shopmen independent of the assistance
of the other unions.
Take Up Other Work.
Many of the men who were EN-
ployed in the Santa Fe shops prior to
July l are now employed at other
work. Some of them are working as
unskilled laborers on public work.
The Washington street paving job
gave employment to scores of them.
The executive committee of the
shop crafts has not seen fit to an
nounce the number of men who were
employed last week by the Chicago
& Great Western. But they are con-
centrating their efforts on landing
jobs for more men who are now out
of work here.
Meetings Open to Public.

Thursday and every Sunday afternoon
at Labor hall are open, ]. w. Mills.

ARREST COUPLE IN HOTEL :
Missing Independence Girl Is Found
in Company Of Employer.


in Company of Employer.
Aurora, ILL., Oct. 17.-Ida Mae Has
kins, pretty 16-year-old girl, who
disappeared more than q week ago,
from her home in Independence, Mis-
souri,, was found here today in COM
pany with Frank Rollin, a stationer.
80 years old, whose home is said to
be in Iowa. The two were taken into
custody by the police at hotel where
they had been stopping, for more than
a week.
According to the girls story to the
police she started on an automobile
"trip to St Louis with Rollin, who was
her employer expecting that his wife
and two children would accompany.
Her mother, she said had consented to
her going on the outing.
When Rollin did not stop for his
family the girl said she protested. but
he continued on his way.
At st. Louis the two were registered
at a, hotel as brother and sister.
From there they drove to Indianola,
Ill, where according to Miss Haskins
Rollin introduced her to his parents
as his wife. She pleaded with her alb
ductor to take her home, but he re-
fused and continued the trip to Au-
rora.
Rollin, the police say, admitted the
truth of Miss H skins story.
II was crazy about her. he said.
The girl will be sent home.

Don't Know It ALL.

Alas, that delight is denied us now!
Everybody's been everywhere and seen
everything, or if they haven't they
pretend they have. If Diogenes were
on earth now he would not go about
with his dark lantern seeking an hon
est person. He would be on a still
hunt for a man or woman who would
let him tell him or her something he
or she didn't know.
Undoubtedly the women's clubs are
largely responsible for this state of af-
fairs, and must answer for it among
their sins. As soon as women found
out they were ignorant they began to
take homeopathic pale pink pills of
knowledge on every subject under the
sum- Worse still, they doctored their
fore one could realize the danger the
information pill habit was fastened on
us.
Every half hour we were gulping
down broken doses of literature, and
science, and philosophy, on the happy
theory that prevails with many other
nostrums that if it does no good IL
can do no harm. Unfortunately, the
remedy does not seem to have cured
the disease of ignorance, but 1t has
given us frightful case of mental
dyspepsia.
If it is a mistake for a man to pre-
tend universal knowledge, it is moth
woman. The most casual observer
must have noticed that the girl with
an artlesS>air and an inquiring man
ner. who is a good listener and has
little knowledge, can marry seven
times to the clever girls once. She
never swelis the ranks of the girl
bachelors. No man in his senses ever
desired to espouse either an encyclo-
pedia of facts, or an arguing machine.
What he looks forward to is the
pleasure of ennghtening the ignorance
of a dear little creature and having
her look up to him as the fountain of
wisdom and light. When a woman
begins every sentence with John
says it is a guarantee of domestic
felicity SO strong you could draw mon
'ey on it at the bank. My wife was
a goot woman if dere efer wass one,"
said an old Creole gentleman, descant-
ing on the virtues of his deceased
partner. 'She nefer had nc mind of
her own whatefer.''
It is human nature to want to be the
one who enlightens others. We all
yearn for the center of the stage-to
be the one to tell the good story and
to lay down the law in politics De-
sirable as the dissemination of infor-
nation is, there's entirely too much of
the good thing now. It has left us no
listeners. Ignorance is still bIiss-in
other peop1e-and among the most
agreeable of our acquaintance are
those who do not know it all and
who will let us tell them the things we
know.

Minor because their readers were tired

not care to give publicity to the Turk

URGE A UNIFORM RELIGION
Denominationalism Caused by Diverg-

apostolic times, in the opinion of
members of the New Testament con-
greSs, an organization composed of
members of the Christian church of

pressed at a symposium here today.
DR.. George B. Taubman, of Long

divergence from the New Testament,
which, he said, contained the truths
of prophesies made by the Old Tesla

amalgamation of the two Testaments.

WELCOME KANSAS TEACHERS.

This week Topeka again will be-
come host to thousands of Kansas
teachers who will assemble in the
state capital, in annual convention.
Toneka has entertained Kansas teach
er$ for SO many years one might
think it were a habit to greet them.
yet on each coming their approach
occasions a pleasant little thrill of an
ticipation. For Topeka knows these
teachers, and the welcome given
them each year is accompanied by
such sincerity as dwells in the hope
that when they depart it will be with
reluctance. because our people want
to make their stay in the city so
pleasant they will regret to leave.
To praise the teachers is easy. for
it merely requires candor IN admitting
the service they perform In their
hands is placed the task of molding
the future citizenry of this country.
LAS the twig is bent, the trees in
twig. Their influence shapes the mind
and directs it's cropping after know
ledge; budding fntellects come under
their care, the awakening souls of
our children, and as they work with
this most precious of material, so is
the safety of our great nation made
secure.
And yet the teachers are but human:
they do not pretend to any super quail
tiles, but enjoy all the things other
folks enjoy, and suffer from the same
inconvenience. Therefore, while Civ
ing them the high tribute that is
their due, because of the Importance
of the part they have IN the life of
the world. it will probably please them
better if we treat them as regular
members of the human family. Bid
them welcome, help them have a good
time, and send them home,- feeling
that Topeka folks also are regular
men and women, and know how to
treat visitors with honest hospitality.

Almost $4,000 boys and girls, dealt
with not as criminals but as children
in need of protection and care, is the
record of the Chicago juvenile court
during the first 81 years of its ex-
istence. The methods in use in this
court, which is the oldest and one of
the largest Juvenile courts in the
United States, are described in a re-
port entitled 1.-The Chicago Juvenile
Court" issued by the United States
department of labor. Before the en-
aetment of the Illinois Juvenile court
Law, says the report, children who had
violated laws were dealt with exactly
as adult persons charged with crime
with respect to arrest, detention and
trial. Since the passage of that law
the object of juvenile court procedure
in Chicago has been to save the child
from further wrong-doing, and to
remedy bad conditions under which
he may be living. The court has kept
the children in their own homes
whenever possible. it is pointed out,
under the supervision of probation of
ficers. Only as a last resort have they
been committed to institutions.

loose two handling guy ropes and a
third rope came out, taking a square
of the envelope about ten feet across
with it. Then we ordered every one
to jump and run.
