Horse and Buggy Stuff By William Ackworth. Every man who believes exactly as I do always impresses me as being especially intelligent; those who disagree especially stupid. This is one belief all men have in common. If I were not shiftless I would not know about the Importance of industry. For years I have watched the hard workers run away lrom me, and I am probably the only living poor man who realizes why he is poor.

When very young I played with a boy named Cecil; every day during the warm months we went swlm- in the river. It was against strlct orders at home, but we paid uule attention to orders. We wora onjy overan5 and could undress and dress quicky the rlver wa, a mjje away our hair would always be dry before we reached home; I recall this was the only disobedience I committed as a boy for which I was not caught and mauled. Once when we appeared at the river We found older boy In swimming. Near the pocket of a pair of overalls lying on the bank we taw a silver dollar.

Cecil suggested we steal it and found me a willing accomplice. While they were not looking he quietly picked it up. We immediately decided to forego the pleasure of a swim, and we soon on our way to town and de- happened more than 30 years ago, and there was a quarrel.

We were half way to town wbcp we heard some one shout for tn to On looking arooind we sa an older boy running lowa I'd us; We began to hot-foot it, but he soon caught up.

He demanded to know who took his dollar, and searched me first, thinking euppoie, -that looked the more culpable. Of course he found the dollar ori Cecil but he whipped us both have always regretted I failed to learn the name of this boy who whipped us. I should like to exrrf-ri gratitude to him as the maullr.ir administered Impressed my jomhfvl mind in such a way that I have since had no difficulty keeping' g-y ands off of silver dollars bclor.shij to other people.

KANSAS PRISON REFORM. Kansas has now come in for its criticism from the prison industries reorganization administration, a federal agency, in a report submitted to President Roosevelt and Governor Iluxman. The commission has been surveying and reporting upon one state after another, Missouri being the last one previous to Kansas. Most of its reports have been highly critical for the simple reason that probably net a state in the union has a prison system that is above reproach. Kansas, therefore, neednt feel too bad because of the scorching received the report Just issued; It finds itself in plenty of good company.

On the other hand, the report is constructive throughout and Its suggestions certainly should not be Ignored. Some of them, perhaps, would cost the state more money than it may choose to spend at this time, but others Of equal importance would not cost the state a cent and certainly should receive the most serious consideration at the next session of the legislature. Chief among these suggestions is one which is so sound and fundamental that no possible exception could be taken to it namely, the adoption of a permanent personnel program to include appointment to all positions in the prison or parole service on a permanent basis subject to removal only for cause and such removal subject to review by an impartial board. The specific suggestions were that all positions In the prison service requiring special qualifications, including that of warden or superintendent, be listed and such qualifications be established by the board of administration. That applicants for these positions be required to submit to the board evidence of their training and experience sufficient to meet such qualifications before appointment.

That all appointments be made subject to dismissal for cause only, such dismissal to be subject to review by a non-partisan board of review which shall have power to decide whether the dismissal shall stand or be reversed. The board of review of two. one from each of the two major political parties, shall be designated by the governor. That a classification of salaries and titles for such positions be established in order that positions of equal repsonsibility shall be granted equal rank and pay in all Institutions. There i3 no possible argument gainst the adoption of such a plan as this there is only shame that it has not long since been accomplished.

If Kansas will do this one job of placing all Institutional service on a merit basis, other changes and reforms suggested by the commission will be easy of accomplishment and will rest on a sound foundation. STUNTING SHOULD END. 5 Ordinarily this paper Is chary bout drawing conclusions or pointing morals in connection with alr-oUne accidents, the reason being 'hat too many essential facts are nually only a matter of speculation. 1 But in the matter of the fearful iccldcnt Just reported from Colombia, where 34 persons were killed and 1:3 injured when a careening army tunt plane mowed into a crowd of pecta tors like a giant scythe, it does cm to offer a comment. And hat comment is that It is high time hinting were banned completely nd forever as a part of exhibitions efere crowds.

A certain amount of stunting of planes probably a necessary of military training. A pilot who -ever attempted anything except tralght and level flight would find tlmself helpless when conditions be-end his control or the exigencies of nlitary maneuvers threw his plane nio unaccustomed positions. He has knew how to do everything a plane capable cf doing in order to be the to control It under all circum-tnces. But stunting has served all the fulness It, has when It has trained pilot to fly. It is dangerous busi THIS THAT, Here There C.

L. Arnold.) July 23. Some of the Iola folks will be sympathetically concerned to know that Mrs. Gillett, now quite aged, has for a long time been a bedridden invalid, home at Coffeyville. Mrs.

Gillett is the widow of Rev. F. M. Gillett, who served as pastor of the U. B.

church in Iola five years, intervening the conference sessions of 1899 and 1904. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Lehman drove to Kansas City last Sunday for a visit with relatives. They returned to Iola on Monday following.

On last Sunday, Rev. M. A. Good immediately following his forenoon services at the Trinity M. E.

church, he repaired to his parsonage home where he performed the ceremony that united in wedlock, Mr. Herman Jackman of Gas City, and Miss Florence A. Gay, whose hitherto home has been with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.

B. Gay, living several miles northeast of Iola. Following this knot tieing of life com panlonship, the parties in question, were given the heartiest endorsement of parental falicity by Mr. and Mrs. Gay, giving a one oclock wedding dinner to their hon or at their home, at which the two brothers of Mrs.

Jackman and their families including other family re.a tives of the bride and groom, were present; however the absence of Mrs. Mark Kirby and family, who live in Colorado, was regretfully noticed. We have never had the pleasure of a formal acquaintance with Mr. Jackman, but we understand he has steady employment at the Iola condense ry, which warrants the conclusion that he is a sprightly upright young man, that is fully able to cope with the common besetments that are current in everyday life Mrs. Jackman and her father were both born in Neosho Valley school district, where Mr.

and Mrs. Gay have spent much of their life while rearing their family and now that the most youthful member of that family circle has fallen to the em brace of married life, parents tan still have much Joy in their expectant visits to their home from which they have thus turned away with loving remembrance. Certainly all acquaintances heartily congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Jackman on the Joys of their wedding day.

Mrs. J. C. Chambers and a daughter, Miss Bell Chambers, came up from Coffeyville Tuesday, to make a short visit at the home of Rev. and Airs.

N. L. Vezie. Miss Chambers is a prominent teacher at Coffeyville. Their visit to Iola at this time was prompted by the extended illness of Mr.

Vezie, who expressed great delight for this visitation of their presence. The large building that was built many years ago on the Kentucky street road, about two miles north of Iola, and known as a pumping station, and had run down in disuse, until it had become an unsightly monument to the failure, or ending of an earlier day project, has been reconstructed during the last half year and transformed into a commodious and a most serviceable structure. Not only has this building been restored to magnificent proportions, but several other beautiful buildings have been erected, well finished and nicely painted. The large plot of ground has been nicely leveled and on the whole structural arrangement gives a striking appearance of a charming little town, lacking only the presence of a postoffice, to make it complete. A line is now being laid and Iolas system will soon be furnishing water for this formula of a contracted business center, devised by the Oklahoma Natural Gas company, that Is now under contract to give Iola gas service; and all business with which this company has to deal, after about August 1, all business will be performed at this newly assembled plant of consolidation, by the company in question.

Omitting the lead up to this story except that It had never before been printed we quote the following: It was at Maloas, and Funston, with the Kansas regiment in trenches, facing the Filipinos. The band had been playing come dance music, when of a sudden, to the astonish ment of all there came from the enemies lines the sound of the hymn, Stand Up for Jesus. It was thought to be a ruse to induce the Americans to expose themselves, but when the music had ceased there came from the the insurgent camp a rolling throb of drums and the band swung grandly into "The Star Spangled Banner. There was a moment of surprise, and then the whole Kansas regiment stretched out nearly half a mile, leaped from the trenches and stood on top of the earthworks. Every soldier drew his heels together, uncovered and placed his hat on his left breast.

It was the regular salute to the national anthem. There they remained straight and motionless while the enemy continued to play the one supreme psalm of America. The whole line was exposed. Not a man carried his weapon, yet not a shot was fired. Lawrence Hardesty who suffered a right side stroke about six months ago, that caused the disuse of body members on that side, can as yet get around very slowly, even by the use of crutches and being otherwise supported.

During this illness he has had a sister with him from Indiana a large portion of the time and another sister is now here for a short stay from that state. Aspiring candidates for nomination for county offices are Just about on their last rounds in cultivating their hopeful fields of prospect, as they trust, to an ultimate yield of success, along lines of their Individual political ambition. The voter finds that he has plenty to make a selection from. Fred Rees who has held a tenancy on the C. L.

Arnold farm, well onto seven years, expects to move in the early spring. During his stay on this place Mr. Rees has handled quite a bunch of dairy cows to a productive effect. Mr. and Mrs.

J. F. Trubey and their daughters. Miss Reta Trubey, of Hinsdale, HU and Miss Marie Trubey of Canaha, Neb, both daughters are trained nurses, who are visiting their parents, were down from Colony Thursday, to visit Mr. Trubeyg parents, Mr.

and Mrs. John Trubey, and his family, drove out to "Wichita to visit a sister of his, who is taking medical treatment there before their daughters returned to IIOW COME? We should like to hear some good explanation of why It is that a flour salesman with a hillbilly band and a flare for clowning in front of a loud speaker microphone can crash Into a state campaign for governor and in six short weeks simply sew the state up in a bag ami carry It off with him. That is exactly what a certain W. Lee ODaniel has just finished doing in Texas, running up a clear majority against all of his opponents combined and becoming, to all practical intents and purposes, the next governor of Texas right now. From what we can read, ODaniel Is a tery fine flour salesman, an upright citizen, "an Intelligent country boy with a level head.

It is even possible that he might make the state a pretty good governor aftr he has been in office long enough to find out what It is all about. But what he actually offered the voters of Texas in his campaign was a hillbiVy band and a vaudeville performance. That is what the people voted for to govern their great state the next two years. We can understand why the well known "peepul do a lot of the funny things they do in political campaigns, but this one is completely beyond us. If someone can offer an explanation well be grateful to receive It.

STORIES IN STAMPS is tto ht The White House Symbol of America A 'TOP-HATTED distinguished company laid the cornerstone of the White House on Oct. 13, 1792, 300th anniversary of the landing of Columbus in America. But George Washington, who had first visualized the site as the future home of the government of the nation, was unable to attend.

He missed a gala day, for the White House was to be the citys first public building. The design of the White House proper and the terraces is said to have been suggested by that of the Duke of Leinster's palace in Dublin. It is the classic style of architecture. The exterior walls are built of light gray Virginia sandstone and were first painted white in the course of reconstruction after the fire in 1815. Major LEnfant, French engineer and close friend of Washington, suggested the exact site of the White House in his plan for the entire city, which Washington approved.

Capt. James Hoban, an Irishman of Charleston, S. won the $500 prize for the design and under his direction the work was carried out. President and Mrs. John Adams first occupied the White House in November, 1800.

On Aug. 24, 1814, British burned the building. It is shown above on a stamp of the new-U -series, larged. 1939. NEA Service.
