\ KANSAS SADER

William Allen White, editor of the Emporia, Kansas, Gazette, is man of parts, He likes his pleasant ways of life," but hates bigotry and fana- ticism. There appear to be sufficient of the latter in Kansas 10 stir him into running for governor on an in- dependent ticket with the view of getting elected and ridding the state how is not discIosed-of the ma chinatioas of the Ku Klux Klan.
 Lacking the desire to start a po- litical barrage minus reserves to back 10 venture, he sent out peti- tion into all corners of the state in order to plumb the depths of senti- ment for an independent assault upon the citadels of party regularity. The petition was quickly loaded with signatures. The editor deems him self called from his sanctum and girds his Joins with the belt of public service through the polls
 It will be unique battle. Editor White says both Republican and Democratic organizations in the Sum- flower state are dominated by the hlan, but that the latter forms a minority.
 It is against Bills principles to let a minority rule. So he will lend a touch of additional excitement to the Kansas political Armament by offering himself as a sacrifice.
 Being a long way from Kansas we don't know of Bills chances to crusade into the governors chair. But on general principles we are in- clined to think Bill will cut quite swath in the Kansas election. And if he is elected the state will never regret having acted thus wisely.

COCKROACHES

Housewives in New Britain who are interested in the war against cockroaches will be interested to learn that asbug- g-killer has just com- pleted a campaign In the White House and found an army of water bugs, or cockroaches. When he was through campaigning with Napole- onic vigor there were five pounds Of dead ones obtained from behind one old ice box in the cellar.
 Citizenesses who constantly are confronted with the evils of cock roach propagation will take much comfort from the fact that not even the White House, where the com- bined forcessof the army, navy and other mighty governmental depart ments are at the service of the first lady of the land. has been free from the inroads of bugdom.
 There Is one thing about a cock roach that is nothing to worry about it is an entirely harmless animal. Unlike the mosquito, 1t does not bite into the human flesh; and unlike the fly, 1t doesn't cover as much ground and does not insist on promenading over the food at supper time. 1n- deed, the cockroach is rather shy and bashful, preferrlng to stay hid den and make forays when nobody is on guard.
 Be these things as they may, there is something about the appearance of a cockroach that is against 1t. Next to the presence of a mouse in a kitchen, nothing can so excite a well-bred housewife as to discover a big black denizen of the insect un- derworld making tour of inspection across an immaculate floor. The war against them, therefore, must go on lust like was done in the White House. But the species Is hardy and seem able to survive the best of ouI attacks and probably will be able to signify their presence even upor the day when Gabriel blows hi 1 trumpet.

ANOTHER BUS LINE

The bus line soon to operated be- tween Bristol and Simsbury, via Forestville, Plainyille, Pennington, Avon and Weatogue, will be another link in the bus services that are girdling the state wherever trolleys or steam roads do not run.
 But the public service commission fell into it's usual faulty reasoning when it refused a franchise to bus owner to operate between Bristol and Hartford, the reason. for the report ed refusal being that steam and troll ley services already link the two cities.
 As it was not the intention of the bus line to parallel any trolley or steam road, and as busses rely upon local traffic rather than upon through traffic, it is difficult to see where the trolley or steam roads would have been damaged.

KLANSMAN BEATS UP MINISTER. IN CHURCH
Assaults Michigan Clergyman in Richmond After Latter Attacks Klan

Richmond, Va, Sept. 22~-Loud- voiced criticism of the rector's ser mon at St. Paul's Episcopal church yesterday by the Rev. James Fulch- CT, here from Michigan to address Ku Klux Klan gatherings, brought down the wrath of member of the congregation who followed him down the center aisle to the vesti- bule and knocked him prone in 8 lively fist fight.
 The Rev. Severely D. Tucker, Jr., rector. midway in his sermon, had criticized men "who go about hood ed and masked, seeking the detri- ment of non Protestant persons, when MT. Fulcher, also a member of the Episcopal clergy, jumped up from a front seat with the remark that you don't know what you are talking about" AS he stormed out down the aisle, Andrew D. Chris tian. a prominent lawyer member of the congregation, pursued him and the fistic encounter followed. After he had been arrested and released on bail, Mir. Fulcher was said to have stated he would tender his apologies to the rector.

NOT CONVINCING

Secretary of the Navy Wilbur gives out q statement dealing with the needs of the navy" after a confer ence with the president.
 Sounds like a smoke scpeen an- nouncement.
 The secretary also state she was not called to Washington because of speeches he made on the Pacific coast and says he was "misQuoted" in one of them.
 The prepared speech he gave in San Francisco appeared in the New York Times and a reading convinces us that if the secretary was not called to Washington on account of it and others like 1t he should have bcen-and probably was.
 Politicians never admit they are wrong. And perhaps it's lucky Will bur wasn't given an opportunity tc give that suppressed speech ir Denver.

COX ASKS TOO MUCH

Gov. Cox of Massachusetts, ac- cording to a headline in the Herald, wtants the people to forget party and vote Republican" Then he at tempted verbal broadside into the third party, evidently thinking too many persons in his state will forget they are Republicans and vote for the New Menace.
 That large bloc of Republican voters are deserting the Republican party in New England is just being found out, if the fanfare of alarums heard from c. O. P. chieftains is any criterion. A person need not be deaf, dumb and blind to realize the third party is securing votes in the indus trial cities-of this section. The ques- ton to be decided is: Which older party will suffer most?
 Gov. Cox gives the impression all isn ot well with that spirit of opti- imism" which was so conspicuous a month or so ago.
 Meanwhile the followers of Davis are not worrying They have no sor- rowful 4-year record to debunk.

 Returning to Prof. Laird. This gentleman says he conducted ex- periments at Yale university. under the auspices of the National Re- search Council. Yale Is good place to conduct such experiment, 1t seems, as some Of the students are willing 10 forego sufficient sleep for other enterprises,
 "The way to relax Is to sleep partly on the side and partly on the stom- ach," Prof. Laird reports. "Take a monday nap. You will find yourself able 10 cut three or four hours off your nights sleep if you do,I he adds, "and your mental efficiency will be higher than if you had taken a steady stretch of eight or ten hours sleep.
 We do not know as much about the subject as the professor, but off hand we would say that the fellow who knocks off three or four hours from his justly necessary nights sleep feels that he needs monday nap.
 On general principles we are in favor of this monday nap idea. It's a great idea that ought to be culti- vated throughout the entire country. A monday nap of two or three hours would be the proper thing. The only trouble is-well, you know the trouble. We haven't got the time and the boss wouldn't stand for 1t.

There is no evidence thst any re- porters prevented him from enjoy ing himself nor that they have con tributed to making his visit to our shores a nightmare of terror.

GETTING ENOUGH SLEEP

To get enough sleep is one of the tricks of living, We may say to our- selves a hundred times that we are going 10 bed early tonight" but when night time arrives VIC put off going to bed as long as possible. Then when the alarm clock rings carly next morning we wish We had had more sense the night before.
 Comes Dr. Donald A. Laird, pro- lessor at Colgate university, and in- forms us that six hours sleep is enough for anyone" provided it is sleep of the right kind.
 Thomas Edison goes him two hours better, saying that four hours sleep is enough. Tom doesn't even say it needs to be the right kind of sleep, although it is evident that a person sleeping only four hours will sleep pretty soundly regardless.
 The great majority of individuals are convinced, however. that eight hours slumber is necessary, or al lean esven. Some robust indivieaaz'

WOMEN AND CHILD LABOR

Women are constantly alert to champion the rights of childhood. Fortunately they have a method, through the ballot, to emphasize their opinion in a forceful manner But that they deem not sufficient, They believe-and apparently are justified in this belief-that men are not altogether to be trusted in the legislature and congress to reflect the wishes of enfranchiscd and em- battled womanhood.
 A reflex of this condition crops out in Newington, where Miss Mary c. Welles, a devoted opponent Of child labor, has intensified interest in the Republican caucus there by announcing she will seek the Re- publican nomination for the legisla- ture, which is also sought by Elmer W. Pape, who is said 10 be opposed to legislative ratification of the child labor amendment to the con- stitution if elected.
 Miss Welles shares the opinion of most women regarding the child labor amendment. The Republican state platform favors a state referen' dunn on proposed amendments to the constitution, it's framers evidentl! thinking it would be harder to ratitN an amendment in that manner thar if left entirely to the legislature The reverse is the case. There is little doubt how inc voters of the stat, would vote in referendum on th' child labor amendment.
 Many untruths have been printed about the proposed amendment chief among which is that the labo of all children up to IS years woul' be barred. The amendment does no refer to "alp' children up 10 IS, bu leaves congress to pass legislation a to what employments up to that az should be barred to children. It foolish to suppose all productiN labor would be barred 10 all unde IS.

JUDGE GAFFNEY

Twenty years as judgo Of the Der lin district probate court and still go- ing strong. He is one man in whom both major parties share confidence. The Republican probate convention usually endorses him along with the Democrats, who have already done so. To comment further is nearly superfuous.
 Judge Gaffney has stored his mind with wisdom and his heart is filled with understanding. He has kindly nature and an evenly balanced temperament. His legal skill and eX- perience, supplementing his natural endowments, make him the ideal jurist for the bench of +he Berlin district,

COOK STOVE BALKS.

Twenty scouts from Troop 4, Boy Scouts, spent the weekend at Jobs pond, Portland, on an overnight hike. They left this city early Sat- urday afternoon and returned last night. The principal occupation in the intervening time was getting hungry, as the camp stove refused to work and the boys were always just about one meal behind. This re- quired trips to the nearby candy stand, and several boys saved barely enough for the homeward trip. Baseball, football, swimming and an evening campfire took the scouts minds off their culinary troubles, while most of Saturday night was spent in pulling off each others blankets. Scoutmaster Leon Bradley was in charge. A trip to Deputy Commissioner Charles Morgan's cot tage at Momauguin is planned for week after next.

NEWS OF THE PRINCE

Is news of the Prince of Wales trivial? Should the press let him alone and print little or nothing of his visit to America?
 It happens that the prince is a likable fellow, is popular with the masses. and arrests their attention wherever he may be. No newspaper can neglect printing stories about him-while others are doing it-and fail to lose the esteem of readers who want to know about his eX- periences while in this country.
 or course, the prince is terribly bored to have reporters trailing him everywhere. There is a story, Of course an untrue one, that he was followed nearly to s.- bathroom

 Although the cathedral is not ex- pected to be completed for about five years, 1t Is understood Nna1 plans have been drawn to place the proposed shrine in the main part oi the building.
