Representative Lobdell of Lane
wants law making none but prsctlC
ing attorneys eligible to the Office Of
County Attorney. A County Attor
ney at present does not need to be q
lawyer, and Kansas counties have hsd
some very successful County Attor
neys who have never been admitted Il

The bill introduced In the House last
week cutting the salaries of Shawnee
county officials, has stirred up Repre-
ser tative Larimer Of Shawnee to the
necessity of doing something to save
them. He has introduced a bill max
ing small cut In some of the salaries
making the salary Of the Treasurer
$4,000, of the Clerk $1,000 and the
County Attorney $1,000.
Representative TspIcott called a
caucus Of the 'short grass" members
Saturday afternoon to consider his bill
taxing cattle brought into western
Kansas by nonresident owners to be
fed. His bill is designed to protect
the small cattle owners from the great
herds from other States which come In
and consume the feed, and is modelled
after the laws now In force In Colorado
and Oregon. The western members
will probably support the bill.
Senator Hart has introduced q bill
which, If passed, will make grave-rob.
bing unnecessary In Kansas. The bill
provides that the bodies Of all persons
dying In the State Penitentiary, the
State insane ssylums or In the poor
houses throughout the State, which
have to be buried at the expense Of the
State or county, shall, on application
Of the secretary of any duly organized

The Senate Committee on Railroads
heard the representatives Of the Kan
sas lines Saturday on the question of
the passage Of a maximum freight
law. The Santa Fe was represented
by A. A. Huri, the Rock Island
by M. A. Low, the Missouri Pacific by
B. p. Wsggener, the Union Pacific by
N. H. Loomis and r. w. Blair, the
Frisco by j. W. Gleed and the Wich-
ita & Western by Fred Bentley. The
hearing consumed several hours, and
the principal contentious by the rail-
way attorneys were the following:
That the railroad lines of Kansas are
at the present time earning only suf-
ficlent to pay the operating expenses,
maintenance and taxes. If q further
reduction Is made in the rates now
charged, 1t would mean a great reduc.
tiOn in the service Of the lines, and the
consequent discharge of hundreds Of
employees. Kansas is not interested In
local rates, but through rates, for the
reason that Kansas products have no
market In this State, but must seek q
market In other parts Of the country.
Such q law would actually force a
great number of branch lines in the
State out Of existence. If q maxi.
mum rate ia fixed the railroads will be

livened by an extraordinary pro-
ceeding. in which Myrtle Masters

the stand testifying when the
girl interrupted him with such
choice epithets as You are a

dog" IN scratch your eyes out. :
A rebuke by the judge had no
effect, and Just as Palmer was
leaving the witness stand she
made for him, intent upon put
ting her threats into execution.
Witnesses and attorneys scatter
ed, and the Judge directed the
sheriff to take her to Jail. After

scinded his order. merely in
structing that she be taken from

was at length accomplished by
the reciprocity treaty Of 1875, the
provisions of which we're renew

was sufficient for the end in view.
In brief, from 1920 to 1893 the

own, to the extent of unfolding

President Mckinley cannot be
ratified by the present session II
there is any such opposition as
promised. The programme now
is that the treaty will be report
ed from the committee, and after
the tariff bill has been passed it
will be called up. The Senate
will be asked If a time for a vote
can be fixed. and upon the objec-
lions by the opponents OF the
treaty its friends will say they
are.content to allow it to lie over
until the next session.
The Hawaiian people want to
be annexed and want the con-
tract ratified right away. The
treaty has been arranged in every
particular, signed by the Hawai-
ian Commissioners and approved
by President Mckinley whose
message to the Senate on the
subject is in part as follows
The Incorporation of the
Hawaiian islands into the body
polite of the United States is the
necessary and fitting sequel to
the chain of events, which from
a very early period of our histo-
ry has controlled the intercourse
and prescribed the association OF
the United States and the Hawai-
ian Islands. The predominance
of American interests in the
neighboring territory was first
asserted in 1920 by sending to the
island a representative agent of
the United States. 1t found
further expression by the sigma
ture ola treaty of friendship,
commerce. and navigation with
the king in 1s26-the first inter-
national compact negotiated by
Hawaii. 1t was signally an.
nounced in 1913, when the inter.
vention of the United States
caused the British government to
disavow the seizure of the Sand
wich Islands by a British naval
commander, and to recognize
them by treaty, as an independ-
emit State, renouncing forever
any purpose of annexing the is
lands or exerting a protectorate
over them.
In 1851 the cession of the
Hawalirn kingdom to the United
States was formally offered, and
although not then accepted, this
government proclaimed its duty
to preserve alike the honor and
dignity of the United States and
the safety of the government of
the Hawaiian Islands.
From this time until the out
break of the war in 1861 the poll
cy of the United States toward
Hawaii and of the Hawaiian
sovereign toward the United
States was exemplified by con.

LOTS OF LUMBER.
All the Georgia Mills Are Being Taxed to
Their Utmost Capacity.

Mr.. q. 7. Airey. general agent of
the Southern railway In this city, says
the Macon Telegraph. has made tour
of the great lumber districts of Geor-
gia, and the report he brings back fur
nIshes incontrovertible evidence that
there is a substantial improvement In
business conditions. The message he
brings from the pine forests of Geor.
gia, where hundreds of men are busily
engaged in manufacturing lumber,
where the whirr of mighty saws can
be heard on all sides as they eat their
way through the golden heart of Geor-
eggia pine, is cheering one.
All of the mills are busy filling or
ders, and their capacity is taxed to the
utmost. Every mill is behind in its
orders, and still they keep pouring IN.
The great car companies of the
country are heavy consumers of Geor-
gia pine. South Georgia mills are en-
gagged now in filing orders for timber
for different car companies, who have
contracts to build 5000 cars. This is
but tithe, however, of the demand.
Railroad companies are all large con-
sumers of the product of the pine for
ests of Georgia. Ship builders on the
great lakes are large consumers of it,
while the demand for it in the build
ing trades of the larger cities is i'm
mense.
