When paroled two or tliree years
after his sentence he found em

the old, old story of a convict and
the distrust of those about hliu.
One position after another was lost
for the samp reason, and Healy fin
ally determined to go out of Kansas
in the hope of getting beyond the
zone of his history. He was hungry
and penniless.
Hut. Missouri also found him .ou.t.
Ho was arrested there for breaking
parole and returned to the Kansas

IlETKAYAL
HOSE who ,'tirgo the Hay
Pauncefote treaty as forbid
ding free tolls on American
coastwise shipping at Pana
ma, ignore the fact that the llay
Pauncefote treaty was executed with
respect to a canal to be cut through
Originally, it was the plan for
to jointly
build and protect the Nic-
jyagua canal, and it was for that
purpose that the Clayi n-Bulwer
treaty was executed. Later, it sbe
e.ame the program for the United
States to build the canal through
Nicaragua alone, and It was to re
lietjp Great Britain as a partner in
the enterprise that the llay-Paunce-fote
treaty was executed.
The Hay-Pauncefote treaty was
framed with the expectation that it
was through foreign territory that
the canal was to be cut. by the Uni
ted States. But the canal Is being
built through United States terri
tory and with United States money.
It Is on otir own canal and in our own
territory that effort is beinj; made
by opponents of free tolls to apply
the treaty, with its restrictions as
to rates and terms of transit.
The contention is not sound. Xo
less eminent an authority than Han
nis Taylor says the Hay- umcefote
treaty need not be held to apply.
Mr. Taylor was former minister to
Spain. He was for many years pro
fessor of international and constl-
tulional law at Colurbbia university.it" make laws and guard the people's iu-
h:,s written many books on in-
ternational law, and is. probably the
foremost America n aut hority on the
subject.
Mr. Taylor takes the position that
the treaty is voidable because of the
'slti.allon creat.-d by United States
ownership of the Panama zone. H"f
says: "Within ..the canal zone,.... the
United i-;ta,es is sovereign for the

w;;s Fending out into the world were

his .life to the public service .unless he
h;i property to sacrifice to the public
service. . If a public servant Is honest,
he and his family must suffer, because,
the sntartes paid to public men are not
suffhlent to support them nnd their
families decently. An honest rich man
can devote his life to tJie public .service,
f bp Is WiflnK to bear the stgma, of bc
Inft a rich man in politics. Most rich
men In polttfcs are not there ffoni nltru
istic motives. If they should, happen
to be heirs to fortunes left by,, their
ancestors, they must work against a
constantly increasing wave of popular
prejudice, nnd no matter bow honest and
slnl-ci-e .thej might be, their motives
would be questioned by n frrcnt many
people. 'It is easier for a rnmel to enter
through the eye of "a needle than for a
rich man to enter high public office 1f
he must appeal to the electorate for
his office, t'nder the old reRinie, now
passing away, he could buy a senator

believe we are nt the beginning of a
new era in American politics. The time
Is coming when the successful candi
date for office must be above the
shadow of suspicion, and if he should be

False Teachings.
rorthuid.. July 27. To the Editor of
Journal-. Lately In The Journal
one signing "A Subscriber" had
the temerity to touch a vital spot In our
i social svst -m when he wrathfuliy re
: prnachd the "-.voma:;" wl.osi; fault
. .iiei-il a pltbihle trtigetly here in our
i 1 1 .
In previous numbers of The Journal
the poor dead lctini got most of the
blame, as did another victim recently,
with the reproach-- jealousy.
Wrongs ate never lighted by thus
throwing the blame on a dead victim.
For generations society has tauglrt the
c ale portion of it that It was one of
i i " i'ui lieti.able rights to allow their pbys
1. ai powers unlimited privilege. Tla-y
v.ere supposed ;) he differ.-ntly com
posed from ft female. Wrong, to be sure,
was this teaching.'1 for if (Sod had made
man different from woman in passions,
then come mother laid to bear female
children to meet the requirements. Hut
Cod Almighty Is not unjust; and society
is paying tho penalty now for what It
l.as taught In the past.
Today society Is teaching the female
portion that her right is to tempt men
ami commercialize her personally . She
Is-Uught all men are victims and It Is'
well known this character prefers mar
ried men, ns she ran bleed more out of
them before they will S'lunnl.
"-Again society is paying dearly for dis
regarding in the home, school, public
streets and businesses and even
churches, the first great principles of
ili'i'nicy, modesty, purity, honesty, Jus
tice, fttn dier.ee to clean conscience and

SEVEN FAMOUS CALENDARS
Hebrew
The history of the Hebrew calendar
may be divided Into three perloJs the
Dihlleal. the Talmurtic, and the -post-Taimudle.
The first rested purely on
the observation of Ui sun and the
moon, the second on observation and
reckoning. The command, In Peuter
onomv ' Keep the Month of Abib," made
It necessary to be aeuiiainted with the
position of the sun; and the command,
-Also observe the moon, and sanctify It."
made It necessary to study the phases
of the moon.
The Hebrew calendar Is dated from
the creation, which Is considered to have
taken place 37KO years and three months
before the Christian era. The year is
luni-holaiiand, according as it la ordi
nary or eniliolisniic consists of 12 or ,J 3
lunar months, cirli of which has or
.10 ilas. Thus the duration of-tho ordi
nary "year is days, and that of the
rmbollsmlc Is MS . In eit'ier case it is
some time made a day more anil some
tlM4 a. day less. In order that certain
festivals' ikhv fall on proper days of
the w.vek rfnr their due observujice.
' Tlio Hebrew calendar is constructed
on the assumption that the mean, luna
tion is I'.' ilavs. 12 hours, and 44 min
utes, and that the year commences on or
immediately after the new moon fol
lowing the Autumnal equinox.
The name of the Hebrew months are:
Tlshri lleshwan, Kislcw, Tebet, Shebat,
Ailar ' Nisan, lvyar. SHvnn, Tatnmu7
Ab 'and Klul. The fixing of the lengths
of the months was the prerogative of
the Sanheilthi at whose bead there was
a patriarch. in the evening before the
announcement

their wise council by being members of
the governing boards. They are women
who do their good works from day to

lives have be, p spent in thinking of
others. Thev have not confined their
altruistic feelings toward women to the
last few months before election, for
they have not felt that the ballot whs

the aforesaid women, what great good
could have been accomplishi d. It seems
as I? their time. Is principally used in
attacking, with groat bitterness any-one
who dares to hold views that are con

they could (which would amount to
a verv great deal) without the ballot.

In. reviewing the operations of .the
Kansas law, Harry Kohfj in a r.ecent
issue of the Technical World, magazine,
points out why he believes that this la
one of the most advanced and construc
tive pieces of legislation that any state
has ever enacted.
"There are some 828 state banks in
Kansas, which hold on an average of
$125,000,000 in deposits,", says Mr. Kohr
"Thcre psed to bg rich picking for the.
stock swindlers in that 1126,000,000, but
there isn't any more, not since Dolley
got on the Job as bank commissioner.
"If you sit down with tho figures,
you will find with little difficulty that
In the rast 10 years the people of this
country ' have been swindled out of
$1,000,000,000 In fake Investment com
panies. Hankers, inspectors, legitimate0
Investment brokers and federal district' "
attorneys to whom I have talked say tha
figures for tho last 10 years will run
nearer $S, 000,000,000. And, mind yen,
tills vast sum, somewhere between $1,
000,000,000 and J3.000.000.000, cama In
the majority of cases from persons' who
could not afford to lose it.
Y'ln brief, tho law, which Is entitled,
Ajrt net to provide for the regulation"
a'tVd.--supervision of Investment compa
nies,' requires every corporation or as-'
soclution, foreign or domestic, which ;
purposes to sell stock In Kansas, to file ;
witlT the bank commissioner a clear and
complete statement of Its affairs down
lo the minutest details; It must file
its writ ten and irrevocable consent to ac
cept service upon It through the secre
tary of state of Kansas and pay the
expenses of a minute Investigation Into
Its affairs by an agent of tho bank com
missioner. It must agrco that no
amendment to Its charter shall become
operative until the amendment Is ap
proved by the bank commissioner; It
must file copies of its contracts and
e.ich of Its agents in Kansas must be
registered In tho bank commissioner's
office. The law provides methods of
bookkeeping and each company must
agree to open Its books nt any time to
any st'-t-kholder. H. upon investigation,
the bank commissioner finds tho. con-w-4f
solvent, fairly eond(ted-,- -and,-in
his judgment, promises a fair return
on the securlth-s offered for sale, the
commissioner may issue a certificate
permitting the company to-do business.
The certificate, however, recites In bold
face type that 'lhe bank commissioner
In no w ise recommends the securities to
be offered for sale.'
"The value of a law such as the
Kansas blue sky law Ilea, of course, in
Hs enforcement."
