The Hays City sentinel Joins a Move-
ment That's Growing Stronger Daily.
Says the Hays City Sentinel: "Evi-
IDENTIFY there has been quite serious dis
satisfaction wide spread with many nom
nations made by Governor Morrill, The
laws relating to these appointive Offices
should be changed and all state officers
should be elected by the people at the
time and in the manner that the gov
ernor, lieutenant governor and other
state officers are now elected by the peo-
pie. We cannot see any good reason
why certain state officers are elected and
other state officers are appointed by the
incoming governor or executive board.
Omitted States senators, railroad COM
missioners, state superintendent of insur-
ance, warden of the state penitentiary
and all state officers should be nomin-
ated in political convention and voted
for by the whole people at the general
election. While every qualified citizen
of this state has an equal right to solicit
a public office, that solicitation should be
before state conventions called for such
purpose. By this change of the laws
great good would be accomplished.
Campaigns for office should be made be
fore the people, rather than before the
governor or executive board"

the league may fill such vacancy for the
unexpired term, in the same manner as
officers are elected.
Amendments to this constitution may
be offered at any regular meeting, but
shall not be acted upon until the next
regular meeting, and d two-thirds vote
of those present shall be necessary for
the adoption of any amendment
After the constitution was adopted the
matter of electing officers came up, but
was carried over to the next meeting.
The same committee that drafted the
constitution was continued as a commit.
tee on nominations, TO report at the next
meeting, week from tonight, which
will be held in Trades Assembly hall.
Papers on pertinent topics will be
made a feature of the meetings. The
one to be read next week will be by Rev.

PEOPLE WHO Toll NOT.
But Prey Off the Community, Have to Get
Out of This Town.

Out of This Town.
However lax the enforcement of the
laws may be in other cities in Kansas
there is nothing doubtful in the sound
the police made when they shut every
thing in Topeka ''up tight" A man in
order to get little something strong to
drink has to get a lantern bigger than
Diogenes' and hunt longer than he did for
the traditional honest man. The same is
true of the joints, where the crap table
and the poker room were wont to flourish
under the old police board The gam
blers who came here in a swarm about a
year ago and took advantage of year of
comparative license are going away.
They are already conspicuous for their
absence from their familiar loadng place
at the corner of Seventh street and Kan
sas avenue.
"Im going to St Joe tomorrow a
JOURNAL reporter heard one of them say.
81 didn't expect much from the new
board, but thought maybe we'd get a
showdown for what we've got But in
stead of that they've crowded us clean
out of the game. The first thing Wilker-
son and Gardiner done was to give us
the office to slough the game, and now
they're liable to send US over the road il
we play a slot machine. I amt proud,
but I'm wise enough to know when I've
got enough, and I know when to come
in out of the wet. l tell you it amt no
use trying to run a sandy on the new
gang. Those f1atties have swooped down
on everything like a half fash. They're
even driving all the girls out of town.
Those that amt in Missouri are down in
Jail. This states getting too good for
me. I don't see why they can't treat us
fellows like they do over in Leaven-
worth. I'm done with 'em though, and
Pm going to duck to the woods tomor-
row. Pm going to get out of this town
if have to ride on the RATHER. What's
the use of redeeming Kansas if you
can't get action?"

FOR sTUFFING TADPoLEs.
Mr. Cox Objects to the Taxfdermy Item
at the State Normal.

MI. Cox Objects to the Taxfdermy Item
at the State Normal.
The house held a night session last
night and went into committee of the
whole on appropriation bills.
The state house appropriation bill,
which calls for $4,000 this year to COM
mence work on the building and a levy
of Il mill tax for the next two years, was
favorably recommended. The approp-
ration for new steam heating plant at
the Osawatomie asylum was recon-
mended.
When the Normal appropriation bill
was reached Mr.. Cox had some objec.
tons.
Here's $500 for taxidermy," said Mr.
Cox once. ''That's for stuffing birds and
frogs and tadpoles and such things. Now
what do your children and mine want of
that?"
doesn't the gentleman know that the
price of frogs has gone up $3.50 since
the last appropriation. said Mr.. Hunt of
Leavenworth, at which the house laugh
ed.
The appropriations for salaries at the
normal school was made without any
cut and the question of fees was settled
as in the senate by making the tuition
absolutely free.

ED HOCH ROASTS THEN.
Leader of the Young Republicans on the
Leavenworth Banquet.


Leavenworth Banquet.
Ed Hoch says in his Marion Record:
All the accounts agree that liquors
flowed freely, and were served as part of
the regular menu. If this is true, it was
an outrage. Intemperance is the great
evil of this age. Prohibition was en-
acted to remedy, as far it could, this
evil 1t is the law of this state. We be-
lieve it is not an exaggeration to say
that three-fourths of the Republicans of
Kansas believe in this law, and are hurt
when anything is done to bring it into
disrepute, especially by their own party.
But here were all three departments
of the state government, the legislature,
whose business it is to make laws and
set an example of respect for them; the
governor and state officers whose duty it
is to enforce the laws, and certainly to
obey them; and the chief justice of the
supreme court, whose business it is to in
terpret the laws, all those present and
participating without protest in BAN
quet where the law and the wholesome
sentiment back of it were treated with
contempt, for that is practically the fact
Now, aside from the moral questions
involved. viewing the matter merely from
the standpoint of party policy what sense
was there in it? What necessity was
there for it? Why needIessly put all the
department of the state government in
this seeming attitude of sanctioning even
by their silence, this contempt for law
and for the opinions of thousands of
voters, yes, we believe a great majority
of those who elected them?
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1895-02-20

all is the one reported by the committee
the other day without any recommends
ton whatever and, therefore, without
any parliamentary claims TO the atten-
ton of the house.
Two years ago the Populist senate de-
feated the Greenlee bill and the Repub-
licans made campaign material out of it.
The Republicans Of the house this year
have killed the Greenlee bill and every
other measure of the same nature in the
committee and seem anxious to furnish
the Populists with an abundance of thun-
der for the next campaign.
The Populists of the railroad commit
tee and one Democrat dissented from the
report on the Greenlee bill in minority
report Ia which they say:
eff the Greenlee bill was a good meas
ure two years ago it certainly has some
merits now, and as it had the support of
the Republicans two years ago, we fail
to understand why it should be wholly
condemned now by the same party.
"We Furthermore believe that the
present Republican railroad committee
is opposed to any railroad legislation
looking to the control of freight rates,
and we, In the name of the common peo-
pie of Kansas, protest against the action
of the committee on railroads in their
refusal to recommend any bill for pas :
sage looking to the control of freight
rates"

noon. While there is considerable merit
in the bills the lobby is pretty sure to kill
it as it has all railroad legislation at this
session. The telegraph bill reduces
charges lin general way) more than
twenty-five per cent The bill regulating
express companies does not attempt to
fix maximum tariff, but gives the board
of railroad commissioners power to pre-
pare a schedule of rates

Wants Him Released.

wants Him Released
Mrs. Fremont Wells appeared before
the county commissioners to ask for the
release of her husband, who is serving a
sixty-day sentence in the county jail for
selling liquor.
Wells is the man who was arrested at
the ssroad house." He pleaded guilty.
and besides the Jail sentence received a
fine of 5000. He has no money, and it
will take him nearly all summer to work
out his fine.
Mrs Wells has asked the governor to
pardon him, and says they will imme-
diately leave Topeka She was referred
to the county commissioners, and was told
that the board had no authority to release
her husband until he had served his sixty
day sentence.

j. L. BRADY's SINECURE.
It is Said That He Has Spent Only Fiv'
Hours His Job.

1t is Said That He Has Spent Only Five
Hours His Job.
A conspicuous example of the extrava-
gance of the senate in the matter of
clerkships is the case of ]. l. Brady of
Lawrence. clerk of the committee on
cities of the first class. He was ap-
pointed to the position at the beginning
of the session by the chairman, Senator
Thacher. Since the appointment Brady
is said to have spent just five hours in
Topeka Two hours of this time was on
last Monday, when he arrived at noon
and left before 2 o'clock. If Mr.. Brady
wanted to find the room of the committee

To the Editor of the STATE JOURNAL:
The Republicans of this part of the
state highly appreciate your efforts
toward cutting off and abolishing the
numerous and worthless commissioners
that are now drawing high salaries, while
thousands of poor taxpayers are having
a hard time to get sufficient of the necss-
saries of life.
Use your pruning knife and cut of
those dead limbs and suckers, and show
the public that the Republicans have
some interest at stake besides SALARY
grabs" which shows itself in every cor
ner of the present legislature almost as
hard as that of '93. Use not only the
pruning hook, but your chopping Ak and
crosscut saw. Respectfully,
L HUMPHREYS.
