CURIOSITIES OF LITERATURE

There have been jokes about the
wording of want ads and obituary
notices without end, but as a real
contribution to the news columns we
submit the following from the Poison
Courier of recent date:
An Apology
Some time even mere man is pro-
Voked to such an extent that he will
strike a woman. Such was the case
few days ago when Mrs. Dubois
made slurring, vulgar and unlady-like
remarks about me. The profane Ian
guage used by her was such that no
self-respecting man would stand for
and, unfortunately, hit her before
counting 10.

tlce court where | entered a plea of
guilty to the charge and was fined ST.

fsr my act and conduct, but feel that

society the debt due them.

American rights. In the League OF
Nations fight, he was a mild res.
ervationist. willing to support Wood
row Wilson with the reservations
that were acceptable to democratic
leaders in the senate. In the recent
World court fight, he originated the
reservations, which prompted the SEN
ate to ratify that covenant. He stood
by President Coolidge and obtained a
senate Endorsement of the recent pol
icy in Nicaragua.
Business and industry-Curtis has
been a conservative, but with a pro-
gressive trend that kept him up with
the times" He has been a tariff pro-
tectionist, standpatter on that fun
damental republican doctrine. He
stood for the safeguarding of invest
ed capital, and the protection of es-
tablished business as means of in
surfing and stabilizing prosperity.
Agriculture = Curtis championed
farm relief legislation from the day
ne entered congress. One of his first
measures was to amend the inter-
state commerce act as a means of re-
dueing freight rates on farm products.
lie proposed the bill, which saved the
federal farm loan board from col
lapsing during the Wilson administra-
ton, by providing that the govern
ment purchase s50,000,000 of the
boards bonds, which were used to
finance loans to farmers. He sup
ported the recent McNary- Haugen
bill, following his conviction then in
the face of White House disapproval.
He sponsored his own farm relief bill
IN both of the last two congresses and
many of the features of his bills were

Senator Charles Curtis Is
Man With Unique History

Senator Charles Curtis, through
whose veins course the blood of
White Plume, chief of the Kaw In
dams, is a living example of what
awaits diligent, intelligent youth in
the land of opportunity.
Born in North Topeka, Kas., Jan.
rs. 1860, like Hoover, he was
orphaned at an early age, and spent
several of his boyhood years on an
Indian reservation. At 10 he got
work in a livery stable. At 16 he
was a jockey, riding race horses at
the county fairs of Kansas.
Then il was he decided he should
have an education. He drove a hack
IN Topeka while he studied law at
night, blossoming into an attorney in
his early 20s. At "a he was prose-
cutting attorney of Shawnee county,
staging the first dry law cleanup
Topeka ever had known.
Gradually he rose. On the strength
of his dry law cleanup he went to
congress. In 1908, after II years in
the lower house of congress, he tried
for the senate but failed. In 1907 he
reached the senate and in 1924 he be-
came majority leader of that high
legislative body.
A man of retiring disposition but
of pleasing personality. legislator
of high character and unimpeaehable
integrity, leader who used strategy
and friendship to gain results, Curtis, |
in his 20 years in the senate, has
emerged from the shadows of the
political arena to become the master
mind of eongress-the man who gets
things done.
Since 1924 he probably has welded
a greater influence upon the legis-
lative history of his country than any
other living man.
Two characteristics have marked
his political careef-patience ard
courage. In the exercise of his
patience. he passed around the peace
pipe instead of using the big stick
IN the exercise of his courage he sell
dom yielded a conviction to political
expedieney.
There is one outstanding quality {
lbout him, which no man who knows c

posed the recent Watson-P Parker bill,
however, on the ground that the pub
lie should have been represented on
the arbitration board that was created
to settle railroad disputes.
Prohibition-Curtis has been con-
sistent dry. He voted to submit the
Eighteenth amendment to the people
lie voted for the Volstead act. To the
prohibition QUESTIONABLE" submitted
to presidential candidates by Senator
Borah this spring, Curtis replied that
he stood for strict enforcement of the
law and was opposed to it's repeal.
This was in accord with his attitude
toward prohibition during his whole
legislative career.
Women's rights Curtis was one Of
the first senators to declare for wom-
an suffrage. AS whip of the senate
in 1919, he virtually directed the fight
for adoption of the resolution, which
submitted the Nineteenth amendment
TO the people. He also sponsored
Dill protecting the rights of American
women, who marry foreigners. He
the bill establishing separ
ate federal prisons for women.
1t was his far-sightedness that
brought peace within the republican
ranks after the La Toilette campaign
OF 1924. While others had forced La |
Toilette and three other progressives
to walk the plank" after that cleo
ton, Curtis, once he became leader,
brought them back into the party.
Throughout his career, Curtis threw
MS Influence toward legislation, in
-ended to promote the prosperity of
legitimate business, industry and
nance. He never dealt with lobby
SITS. He preferred to reach his own
and then to follow them.
Two Of his votes depict his courage.

coolidge administration fought any
