Supervisory Legislation in Kansas

Previous to the nomination of can
didate for Speaker in the caucus Of the
Republican members of the Kansas Leg
islation, the following resolution was
adopted as the sense of the members, and
to which the nominee is fully pledged:
We, the Republican members of the
incoming legislature, now in caucus
assembled, recognizing the justice Of the
demand that the relations between the
people and common carriers be distinctly
defined by statutory law, and that no feel
ing Of uncertainty may be entertained
by any person present, and to the end
that harmony may prevail in our midst,
therefore, resolved that recognizing the
subject Of railroad legislation as one Of
the most important to be presented at
the session of the Legislature, and believ-
ing that our Constitution demands at
our hands the passage Of fair and
equitable law regulating freight and fare,
we hereby affirm individually and col
lectively, that we will support no man
for speaker who does not give to this
caucus satisfactory assurance that he
will 50 frame the Committee on Railroads
as will give the advocates of railroad
legislation full majority Of said com
mittee.

as one ever sees, and who, after the cir

are bound for some point in Oregon. A
passenger on the same train on which
they came in says, that during the entire
day they were the center Of observation,
because of their childlike lovingness and
general greenness. The old man is by
profession Methodist minister, going
10 conference In Oregon, and combines
pleasure with business by taking along
with him vcritablc and living Christ

Where are they gone, those dear dead days,
Those sweet past days Of lOng ago.
whose ghosts go floating TO and fro
hhen the evening leads Us through her
maze
Where are they gomez Ahi who can telle
Who weave once more that lSng passed
spell?
They did exist when we were Young.
We met our lie with strength and trust,
We deemed all things were pure and just,
Nor knew life had double tongue.
We lightly sang happy song
Nor dreamed our way could e'er be wrong.
And then all changed as life went by,
The friend deceived, or bitter death
Smiled rs he drank our dear ones breath
And would not let us also die.
Day followed day; as on they went
Each took some gait that life had sent.
Yet il was ours, that perfect past
We did have days that knew not pain,
We once had friends death had not ta'en
And flowers and songs that could not last
Were ours in that most blessed time,
When earth seemed heavens enchanted
cline.
And so think when lights burn low
And all the house is fast asleep,
From out silence vast and deep
Those dear dead days we worshipped so,
Breathe on us from their hidden store
Their longlost peace, their faith once
more.
God keep those dear old times; all mel
Beyond our vision they may rest
Till on some perfect day and blest
Once more those dear dead days viii be.
For death, who took all, may restore
The past we loved, to us once more
