Kansas City, Mo THE REPLY OF JOHN W. DAVIS: — Mr. Davis, one of the highest class attorneys of the United States is being mentioned for the democratic nomination as president. His recent reply to a letter urging that he retire as attorney for the Morgan interests shows at least courage. Speaking of it the Indianapolis News says in part: "Mr. Davis has been discussed as a possible Democratic nominee for President. A senator lias written him that his chances might be better if he dngiped his present legal connections Presumably the idea in mind was that the people are loath to trust any man ■who has been employed by large business interests, regardless of the fact that there may not be the slight est excuse for condemning that relation. The reply of Mr. Davis is as complete as it is illuminating. 'Any lawyer,' he says, 'who surrenders his independence by trimming his professional course to fit the guests of popu-j lar opinion, in my Judgment not only! dishonors himself but degrades his profession. I tell you in candor that 1 would not pay this price for any honor in the gift of man.* When Grover Cleveland retired i from his first term as president he 1 was a member of the same law firm' to which Mr. Davis now belongs. The people did not find that taompati-l able with electing him again. Whetli-! ar or not Mr. Davis is found by the i Democrats to be the man they de- ( sire to lead them in this year's campaign is something that must wait for decision. But his career as a lawyer certainly is not against him' nor is the answer he has just made* to his senator correspondent." Trying to beat a train across a crossing is a very dangerous thing as can no doubt be attested by the two yonng nu n in the c ity truck h< re the other day. Crossing watchmen tell us that quite frequently no attention is paid, to his warnings. Os course these men can't go out and get hold of your car if you persist in running in ahead of. an approaching train and the wise, thing to do is pay attention to the signals given. There are other ways to avoid accidents and the Hoosier State Auto Association has sent out their first spring warnings and these include advice for pedestrians ar well as motorists. Don't day dream or jay walk when going across a busy street, look right and left when you dart over to the other aide, don't let the children play In the street and leach them the danger of crossing the streets in front of approaching cars, •f we an think more and use care the •umber of ac< idonts can be tiMterially reduced. lu the Wisconstn primaries bcnalor laFoVetle smur.dj Siaxiu votes mure than Mr. Coolidge for the republican delegates while Governor Hmuh led McAdoo about U.ooo with only one third of the pv't'lm U heard from.

Born near Prague, in Austria, the daughter of a poor army officer, she opened her eyes on poverty. Besides her. there were three sisters and a brother in the home. And this left no money for musical advantages of any sort. “Reccntlv out in Montana I gave al ten -on and some of the American Legion beys met iii<> at the train.

Jr ■ Ml JKi/' i '■ Iks'' d <lt * I > 'A •w. < . ■ V . SCHUMANN-HEINK says: "What does the bonus mean to a disabled soldier—almost nothing.” "At home, I dust, iron, and I wash. I can cook a good dinner.” other overworked phrase. I get angry sometimes. All of us do. But I do not call it artistic temperament," Madame Schumann-Heink is a great lover of home. "When I am at home I enjoy my garden; 1 dust. 1 iron, I wash —yes, wash. 1 take pride in cooking a good dinner." That home is in California at Coronado. Her magic voice was discovered in Graz by Materna, and she received a request .from the Dresden Opera Company to go there. She was engaged at once- The contract was so long In coming that the family Jeered at her. Finally the document came. And her debut was successful. She was in Dresden four years singing minor role*. I From this hour her progress, [1 - though halting, was sure. I "When I came to New York, they II gave me a welcome* which I shall >1 never forget. I remember my first |l concert as though it were yesterday,li though it was twenty-six years ago.il it was at the Metropolitan in 1599. 11 sang tlie drinking song from ‘Lucretia i| Borgia.’ and when I had finished the I audience made a great noise. They’l whistled and called. Yon know In I Europe such a demonstsration means I only one thing .the equivalent of his --I sing and throwing apples or nowe-jl thing. I went hack to my dressing I room feeling that all was over, riy ■ concert was a failure. The noise . clamor kept up Hie mnnager came in'hing back to uy dressing room and sahl. ‘Madame, you have made a great hit.’ I dun t sing the drinking song now.”

I Mr«. Claude Coffee aud daughter, I Mary Louise, of Fort Wayne, spent jthe day with Mr. and Mrs. Mel J I Butler and family. “Just Married” Is Big Comedy Success Os Today “Just Married" is declared by the critics to be the absolute comedy success of the century. The play J will be the attraction at the Majestic ; Theater, Fort Wayne, on Friday and Saturday of this week with a matinee un Saturday. The story of the play centers about a gently stimulated young man who

gets aboard the French Liue steamship. “Lafayette.” by mistake, just before she sails from Bordeaux. France, for New York. There are ; sesveral oddly assorted couples 1 aboard, old and young, married and unmarried— and some honeymooners, willing and unwilling From the time the stimulated gentleman comes aboard, without any effort of will on his part, they are all so bedeviled, scrambled and messed up, i that there Is apparently no untangling their difficulties. There seems to be only two ways out; either the ship must put back to Bordeaux, or i the young man must be thrown over- 1
