Mr.. Ochilree suggested that Wisconsin re-
ceived So 0Oo, Geo in the past.
Mr.. Price said II the bill were eTeaed up
and eqvslized sectionslly, 50 far as 1t could
be done he would support it.
Mr.. WashburDe, addressing himself 10 the
general question of Internal improvements
favored LIBERAL appropriations and repaid
sted any sympathy with that false ECONOMY
which bad sought to restrict the apDropr;a-
tons To begg4rly proportions Bat be
found provisions in the pending bill which
he could neither approve nor support The
bill was neither fair nor q inst ous. He
opposed the provision for the improvement
OF Galveston HaTbor, and thought that for
the Government to enter upon q work which
would ultimately req1're the expenditure
of s. OO0,O0O without plans or recommends
tons, was little short OF midsummer mad
ness.
Mr.. Hepburn suggested 1t might be more
ecor omical fer the United ates to move
Galveston to barber than to move hsrbor
to Galveston. After speaking . good word
for the HeDBepin Canal ne opposed the ap-
propristion for the Mississippi River He did
not think il advisable for the Government
to 90 on with the work which would cost
$4,000 600, when it was shown by the re
ports OF the Commissioner that the work
was entirely experimental.
After speech by Mr.. Farston in support
of the bill, the general debate closed and the
first section of the bill was read.
Mr.. ONeill, OF Missouri, criticised the ap-
preparation for the Mississippi River in that
only $500. Coo was appropriated for the i'm
provement between its sources and the Ohio

Grafton of the bill, if for only five minutes
Every same man wanted the Mississippi
River improved and between the Illinois and
Ohio Rivers were grouped the most serious
distractions to commerce in the Mississippi
valley. The engineers who had examined

"HOrSeMen'S Harvest"

The six strong young cities of the Col
den Belt of Kansas have organized the
'Kansas Pacific Circuit of Race Meetings
and Fairs" and offer this fall $12,5OO in
purses for trotting, running and pacing
Their object is to encourage the breeding
and owning of tirst-class roadsters, and
to make of their particular section of
country the Kentucky "Blue Grass Re-
gion' of the west, avoiding, if possible,
the aemoralizing influences that are sup
posed to attach to races in that famous
southern country. Their first meetings
will be as follows:
Concordia, August 1928.
Salina, September 1-3
Minneapolis, September SILL
Clay Center, September 1918.
Abilene, September 1926
Mcpherson, September 29-30-Oct. l.
Kansas hOremen should encourage the
organization and send their best horses to
this circuit. The Kansas Pacific division
of the q. P. r. r. will transport passen-
gers and freight at one-half regular rates.
Displays of fine cattle and farm products;
Roman Chariot races; cornet band and
base ball tournaments and other Especial
ties" will lend additional attractions to
these meetings.
Cut this notice out and paste it in your
hat, or apply for further particulars to
the secretary of any one of the societies,
or to the secretary of the circuit.

The Soldiers Reunion.
LeaUenz,D,'tk Times,

LCUCCULtOJ'LX 4 mes.
The fourth annual reunion of soldiers
and sailors of Kansas, to be held at To-
peka, September Goth and Both and Octo-
Der LIST, promises to be one of the biggest
and best things of the kind ever held in
the West.
All old soldiers and sailors are members
of the committee to see that everybody at
tends, and it goes without saying that
this committee work will be done well.
The majority of Kansans have had neither
the opportunity or means wherewith to
'do" the seaside and mountain resorts
this year, and an occasion is wanted, near
home, where a relaxation from the cares
incident to every day life may be INDUCED
in.
There is nothing so nearly adapted to
supply this need as the Topeka reunion,
and it should be attended by all.
Leavenworth may be counted on for a
full delegation-fuH in point of numbers,
we mean.
Kansas has always done herself proud
in the matter of soldierly gatherings both
during and since the war, and the coming
event should be no exception to the rule.

The Point in Education.
atlanta Constitution.

Somehow or other we do not get at the
pith of this controversy in regard to liter
airy collegiate graduates and non-grad-
yates. Probably it is not as important as
some of our contemporaries seem to be-
ieve. The great question is not, did a
man attend college, but did he succeed?
In other words, did he ''get there?" A
mans education depends on the man him
self, just as his success does. The man
who succeeds as college graduate would
succeed if he had never seen college, and
there is very little difference in the ele-
ments that go in making up the success
of college man and that of the non-col-
1epe man.
