Double Gardens.
(NeW York Timesl

Maeterlinck's Double Garden" has in it nothing more pleasing to the reader than MT Whites "Spirea and Things in the Emporia Daily Gazette. One might believe that there is not thing in the world "the matter with Kansas when it is spirea week
 No town is so mean and poor that it is
 not brightened and glorified by the cataracts
 of spirea falling the lawns, and
 town where the April spirea sprays its
 bloom measly that it is not beautiful in
 Spring before the of the year have
 burned and deadened it.
 There are companion flowers tulips and the iris but Spireas lead the procession of oveliness that with the addition of perennals and Towering shrubs reaches from April to November.
 Wild flowers still frequent the woods and march in the virgin strips of prairie that make a border for the railroad tracks; but the pioneers brought their flower beds" with them from the East: roses morning -glores, four-oclocks and zinniasand sun- flowers. Maeterlinck traces the long journeys that some of these pioneers made to reach the KanSar frontiers - from the gardens or fields of Asia Europe Africa But now, as the Empora editor remarks while the flowers of the recent century were scattering" those of the new century are universal" He doesn't undertake to point the mora of the flowers of the field: Shall He not much more cothe you O ye of little faith?" But their very presence does yield a fresh hope which even economic troubles cannot extnguish.
 We are, with all disappointments making the planet it never was before, and not only "adornng our stay" but gradually broadening From this have right to infer that the thoughts of men "are more just and greeder of truth" If there were moral it would be that those who have flowers in abundance should share them with the sick and other shut-ins of the great cities and make of their gardens double gardens"

SOUTH SUPPORTS NEGRO COLLEGES

Negro colleges in the Southern States are steadily winning than modcum of State support and emerging from denomination status. At dinner held in behalf of Fisk University Nashville Tenn, $ in New York recently Chancellor Kirkland of Van derblt of the Souths leading white universities, said today several Negro institutions rank alongside the better colleges for whites This year, alone, four Negro colleges placed in Class A. as meet ing the full requirements of the Southern College Association the standardzing agency for the South while 21 received Class B rating
 Moreover. their support, which 20 years ago was mainly derived from Northern philanthrophy today is than one-half provided by taxes of the Southern States. In other words, State colleges rather than private and denominational ones have now become the dominant form of Negro higher education below the Mason and Dixon line

SYNOPSIS: James Sundean cannot shake off a feeling of foreboding that assails him on arrival at his hotel in Armene, Southern France. Perhaps it is the bowling north wind, which shakes the house. Perhaps it is Lovschiem, the proprietor. Perhaps it is the paucity of guests-there are only three: Mrs. Felicia Byng of Omaha; Father RObart, a red-haired priest, and an interesting Am crican girl named Sue Tally. Sundean is nervous but not surprised when Miss Tally bursts into his room at mid night to take refuge from an abductor; he has calmed her when there is a sudden loud crash.

hood. In debate during the recent session Of the Legislature it was revealed that last Fall the period when much of the annual work unpatented claims is usually performed many owners were under the belief that suspension for this year was al- ready effective For that they did not do it. The time between now and June 30 is too limited for them to have remedied this neglect For that the Legislature favored suspension this year but not next.
 With improving conditions noetd nation wide scale, it is possible that effort will be made to prolong the suspension another year.. Alas kans who accustomed to performing the annual labor in the fall months, will be the safe side if they continue that practice this Fall.

There is a pri- vate salon next door that has the original old satin brocade on the walls. The room is seldom opened, but you might like to see it. There is a piano in it, as big as a barn, on which long ago Pope is said to have sung mass. doubt that | however"
 made a sound of agreement, and she went on swiftly: There's story about these old clocks, too; that they were bought in preparation for a visit from Napoleon. He liked clocks, you know; but I doubt that one, too. Even the most passionate clock lover wouldn't want half hun dred of them Oh, you have the l sword clock. It's the only one in the house"
 Her pink fingers touched the lit tie sword and slid it gently out of the bronze soldiers grasp. I must have looked surprised, for she laughed for the first time and flourished it. Didn't you know it was loose? It's sharp, too" She ran her finger tips along the edge. Like a dagger
 She stood there touching the toy sword. Her bright head was bent. Her velvet coat was buttoned as tight as basque to her chin, it's skirt fitted her slender waist and hips and then flared long and full. Something to my astonishment I heard myself saying:
 T want to help you. Won't you let me?"

meme. I was in a panic, naturally, but I worked so frantically that I got my hands loose and the scarf from my face. It must have been more than an hour that he drove. Finally he stopped"
 She stopped, too, and took a long breath. T had planned what I would do AS he got out of the front seat, got out the back seat on the opposite side and ran. The wind was blowing, and it was dark, and he didn't hear me open the door, and it was a moment before he found I was not there.
 .Then I saw light, and it was the light at the entrance of the hotel. I didn't stop to think how strange it was, just ran. The gate was locked, of course; but I knew the way in. He was after me-"
 Something must have come from my throat then, for she stopped
 
 gave me a questioning look, and then went on.
 'sHe could see me under the small light. He was so close, and there was no light in the hotel and he, too, knew the way into the court. Then I saw your light. I ran into the shadow and up the stairway I think he wasted time looking in the courtyard for me. q don't think he heard me call to you; the wind was too loud. But I'm afraid he saw me against the light. You can see your light from the court, you know, when the door is open. And that's-that's all Except that I want you to tell no one-espscially the Lovschiems. ,"
 "Who was the man?"
 T don't know"
 s''It wasn't LOvschiem?"
 "Oh, mol" she cried. Tt wasn't Lovschiem. He is so fat, you know. This man wasn't fat"
 I said the fellow ought to be killed. I believe I said would enjoy the job of doing it.

This action by Congress has been expected for several weeks.

She replaced the little sword slowly. After a time-probably only a few econd s-She went on gravely:
 Perhaps I'd better tell you what happened tonight It must have been around 10 o'clock when I went out. I was restless and want ed to walk in the wind little be- fore trying to sleep often take walks in the evenings; there's never been any danger at all.
 Tonight car passing me stop ped. A man got out. I started to walk away, but he caught me. He tied something over my mouth and around my wrists and put me in the back seat of the car. He was hurried and think frightened at what he was going, and of course I struggled.

My frightened visitor half rose we were silent a moment. Then the noise recurred, and we relaxed It was a shutter banging in the in- creasing wind
 'Yes, I've just come from Rus sia," I went on. 'fAn old friend of mine, Jack Dunning, and I ar ranged to meet here for trip through Southern Spain. I'm a week ahead of time"
 The girl nodded, and after a moment asked: What do you think of the hotel?"
 Its rather large in the winter, isn't it? The handful of guests must rattle around like so many peanuts"
 We do rather rattle around. F.s- pecially when the summer staff is dismissed. Just now there are only the cook, one porter and one maid, the manager, and Madame Lov- schiem, his wife. And you and Mrs. Byng and priest. And my self, of course. It is very quiet and lonely in the winter"

The Paths of Glory.

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 AS his life mellows and merges into the subdued color-tones and tranquility of sunset years Richard Pearson Hobson receives official honor and award at the hands of a grateful Government!
 Years have passed, mighty world conflict has been fought since the sharp, brief with Spain It was during that short struggle that Hobson bottled the Spanish fleet in the harbor of Santiago, Cuba, by sinking the collier Merrimac at the harbor mouth-a brave, daredevil deed of youthful high adventure.
 This deed of colorful naval heroism brought deserved fame to the young Hobson. The country acclaimed 1t with unreserved enthusiasm
 Last week Congress in recognition of his services to his country gave to HobSon the Congressional Medal of Honor. He may be considered more for tunate than of those who have received only posthumous honors at the hands of the Government they faithfully served
 "The paths of glory lead but to the grave" sang one of the worlds strong poets but, perhaps, they often could be frightened by the rays of swifter official appreciation than is customary in America

 The Junior Prom the previous night was a brilliant affair, at tended by more than a hundred couple, many of them from Doug las and Tresdwell. The Elks' hall was beautifully decorated. A cozy corner arrangement in one end of the room with student lamp on the table looked nice and honey and became favorite spot for spoony couples. The seven-plece orchestra furnished excellent music and the poetry of motion was heightened by graceful forms and beautiful costumes. On the com mittee in charge of decorations were Helen Blackwell, Gunnard Gustafson, Alma Sowerby, Alice Tibbits, Ed. Beattie and on the re- freshment committee, George Nell son, Charles Sabin and Russell Casey.
 A new era had set in for 'Ju- neau-ths era of good roads, rock paved streets to supplant the ex- pensive and disagreeable plank highways. It was proposed to estab- fish a rock-crushing plant on low CT Gold Creek as soon as the en- zine for operating the B. L. Thane rock crusher arrived.

ALI SMITH FOR CHAIRMAN.

On June 27 the New York State Convention will assemble to vote on the resolution for the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. It is a fore gone conclusion that it will ratify the resolution
 The outcome not being in doubt, interest largely is centered around the fact that both Democratic and Republican leaders in New York State have united upon the selected of a Chairman for the gathering Democratic National and State Chair man Farley and Republican State Chairman Macy have selected former Governor Alfred E. Smith for that honor No choice could have been more fitting.
 For 13 years or since National Prohibition was made part of the Constitution, the famous New York leader has led in the fight on Prohibition, not only in the Empire State but in the Nation. He urged its repeal unhestatngly when that course was far from being popular as it is today. And he was the first to demand for modification of the vostead Act
 Back in 1920 as Governor of New York, MT. Smith challenged the proprety ratification of the Eighteenth Amendment by legislative act. In that year in his annual message to the Legislature he declared:
 In order that the true opinion and posi-
 tion of the State of New York in regard to
 the Eighteenth Amendment be ascertained
 and carried out, and made known to the
 people of the other States I recommend
 that the Legislature rescnd the prior rait-
 fication of the said amendment and submit
 the question to the qualified voters of the
 State at the general election in the year
 1920
 Three years aer as Governor of the State he signed the repeal of the State enforcement law, accompany ing it with memorandum that long remained as a most powerful arraignment of the Volstead Act.
 Still later, in the same position, he transmitted a memorial from the Legislature to the Congress Of the United States urging modification of the Vol stead Act to permit the manufacture and sale or light wines and beer lately accomplished through the aggressive leadership of President Roosevelt In 1926, he was Governor when the people of New York by a majority in excess of 100000 votes, approved a referendum for modification.
 Nominated by the Democratic Party in 1928 as it's Presidential candidate, MT Smith in order that Prohibition wired the convention at Houston setting it forth in no uncertain terms During the cam paign that followed, he attacked National Pro hibition in bold and fortnight manner.
 In 1928. in his final message to the New York Legislature, Gov Smith suggested an amendment to the State Constitution to the end that no future amendments to the Federal Constitution be acted upon by the Legislature before referendum on the State statute by the people.
 No other leader in the entire country point to more consistent record the question of Pro hibton. None has been conspicuous for boldness and intelligent leadership in the fight on the Eighteenth Amendment. And no member of either of the big parties in New York is so entitled to preside the approaching convention by reason of his services as former Governor Smith.

 That delegation of college graduates in cap and gown who visited Washington to call attention to the plight of the student who gets a diploma and then finds that there isn't the shadow of job for him emphasizes of the most tragic aspects of the whole depression.
 All through these difficult years our colleges have been industriously training young men and women for leadership; and whatever the colleges shortcomings, they have in the main done good job and they have had fine material to work with But these trained and ambitious youngsters have for the most part found chance to exercise their talents. Equipped for leadership, they can't even be followers.
