Mr.. Carl Vrooman, 4 statesman whose
present address is in the ecclesiastical COM
munity of Parsons, Kas., threatens to be
the author of a plague that may prove
itself worse than the Colorado locusts Ap-
parently Carl is a tepid-minded and in
considerate young man, whHse ideas re-
volve in his head in rather circular orbits
Just what his spite against Kansas or the
United States may be- history has as yet
neglected to inform a palpitating public
but there is no doubt as to the adamantine
nature of his determination.
In his general ideas and in his grasp of
common sense, Carl may. be regarded by
the world at large as a fragrant, fiabby
and fiagitious failure; but in determination,
Carl seems to have broken all previous
strength records, and nothing but sudden
death can move him from his pitileSs pur-
pose. On April /, Mr.. Vrooman proposes
to launch on the public his new school of
educated, tame campaign speakers. To
quote his words, "the idea is to take crude
talent and drill it in public speaking. crys-
tallize ideas on finance, and turn out ef-
fective stump speakers" BY working three
eisht-hour shifts day he expects to have
100 of his minions ready for work by

APPROVED BYT HE LAWYERS
BAR ASSOCIATION INDoRsEs THE
NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENTS BILL.
The Members Were Not Unanimous in
Its Favor-Henry WoIIman An
tagonfzed the Measure-Oth-
ers Said 1t Was Needed.

The Bar Association met in the CONNER
cial Club rooms last night, indorsed the
negotiable instruments BILL and decided to
present it to the legislature at once. The
bill was prepared by the interstate COM
mission, in which Judge Francis NJ. Black
represented Missouri, the purpose of the
commission being to codify and render uni
form certain laws which now differ widely
in the various states.
A spirited debate ensued over the in
dorsement of the bill. 1t was precipitated
by Henry Wollman, who stigmatized the
measure as a law school thesis and a kin
dergarten screed. He said there was very
little in it that was new, and such as was
new was either bad legislation or of OBJ
scure meaning. He also said that Missouri
already had upon her statute books nine
teen-twentieths of the bill, and such as she
didn't have she might be better off with
out. He thought it would be wiser for
the association to eXpend its energy trying
to get better corporation and divorce laws.
which were in a wretched condition, or
better mortgage laws, which were all up
side down.
Several of the lawyers present construed
this as an attack upon Judge Black per-
sonally. though Mr.. Wollman explained
that Judge Black had taken no hand in the
preparation of the particular measure.
Leon Block, w. o. Thomas, C. S. Palmer
and F. F. Rozzelle made speeches defend
ing the bill and advocating its Endorsement.
N. F. Heitman and G. w. Warder rallied
to the aid of Mr.. Wollman. Judge Black
spoke twice in defense of the measure, the
last time taking occasion to castigate Mr..
Wollman for his adverse criticism.
vote was finally taken on the ques-
tion of whether the association should
recommend the passage of the bill. There
were only eight negative votes.
Last nights meeting was TO have been a
joint session, the Commercial Club having
been invited to participate. but no mem
Der of the club was in evidence.
The following gentlemen were admitted
to membership of the Bar Association:
John Z. Walker, John D. Wendorf, H. c.
Brady, j. Roy Smith, C. D. Clingham, e.
NJ. Howell, l.. B. Ewing.
