The State Soldiers Home at Dodge
City was opened only years ago. 1t
was begun on q comparatively small
scale because it was largely an eXper-
iment and no one could ioresee how
much demand would be made upon
it. We know that the last Legisla-
ture appropriated for the running ex-
penses all the money that it was then
thought would be required. If it has
proven insufficient, or if the capacity
of the Home is not equal to the de-
mands made upon it, the matter will
probably be remedied by the next
Legislature. 1t certainly will be if
the next Legislature is Republican.
''Ex.Tar ought to know, however.
that no old Soldier will ever he al
lowed to starve in Kansas whether he
can get into the Soldiers Home or
not. A Republican Legislature long
ago passed a law requiring the coun-
ty commissioners to make proper pro-
vision for every INDECENT old soldier
within the limits of their county, not
by sending him to the poor house,
but by maintaining him at his home.
No old soldier can suffer for want of
the necessities of life in Kansas, and
none need ever go TO the poorhouse'
except through choice.

The success of Mrs. Annie NJ. Beam
