Both mean the self same thing, namely, the breaking of slavery's chain--the breaking of the link that holds you to the vicious habit of careless spending. Each one in their daily work should seek to themselves against the unexpected and fortify unforseen and build up a reserve fund for emergencies. If you want financial independence start a Savings Account in our Interest Department.

Tokepa June 30- Milton A. Amrine, editor of the Council Grove Guard, will be the new warof den of the state penitentiary. While the official announcement will not likely be made until ernor Allen returns from Iowa or possibly later, yet it has been decided upon. The new warden will assume his duties on September 1. Acting Warden Hudspeth will be given his old position of deputy warden.

The appointment of Amrine was strongly advocated by former Gov. ernor Stubbs and William Allen White. Amrine served as executive clerk under Governor Ctubbs during his first administration and as superintendent of the Hutchinson reformatory came into power they framed up some flimsy charges, went through the form of a hearing and dismissed Amrine as superintendent, The fact is the verdict was decided upon before the charges were framed up. It was simply a question of getting charges to fit the verdict. Amrine was given an opportunity to resign but he decided to do so.

He also knew that he was slated for removal but he stood pat until the axe fell. Then he went home and resumed work on his paper. He made a fine record as superintendent of the Hutchinson reformatory and put in many reforms that other states have copied. His ideas of prison reform follow closely those of former Warden J. E.

Codding, who resigned in March to resume the practice of law. The Codding idea is that there is good even in a convict and that it will come, out if given a chance. "Prisons should be human. ized not dollarized," declares Codding and Amrine says amen. The governor may also delay the appointment of state printer for several weeks.

Some Sixth district Republicans are pressing Bert Walker for the place. Walker has been in California for a year and will not return until September. In the meantime E. E. Kelley will be acting state printer.

Many of the newspaper men over the state headed by William Allen White, as well as many big Republican leaders, are urging Kelley's appointment, which would be in the nature of a promotion. Harve Motter is pressing the claims of A. Q. Miller, of Belleville. Albany, N.

These were the adoption by the house yesterday of the Borah resolution for a disarmament conference between the United States Great Britian and Japan to be called by the president and Hardings letter to House Leader Mondell showing that the executive is favorably inclined toward disarmament.
