HAS NO STANDING.
Judge Hazen Has Doubts Concerning
Actions of the Last Legislature.

Judge Hazen yesterday decided that
when a probate judge removes an ad-
ninfstrator there can not be an appeal
from the order to the district court,
but he afterwards withdrew the decis-
ion at the request of attorneys to con-
tinue his investigation.
The case was that of Mrs. Louisa K.
Vawter. She was Administrative of her
deceased husbands estate. The other
heirs found fault with the- manner in
which she handled the property and
asked for her removal. Probate Judge
Dolman ordered her removed and ap-
pointed A. w. Dana in her place The
case was appealed, and pending the ap-
peal the attorneys for Mrs. Vawter
claimed that she had a right to keep
her position
In the course of his remarks in ref
erence to the case Judge Hazen raped
the last legislature. 1t was in reply to
a contention concerning the acts of the
legislature with reference to admins
traitors. Judge Hazen said:
when we recall the trouble over the
acts of the last legislature already had
1 don't know whether we should give
its acts much consideration so far at
least as legislative construction is con-

"OUT-OF- F-A-JOB,"
Is the Title of New Paper Publish
ed in the Interest of the
Tn


Chicago, Aug. 3-H. S. Davidson and
B. F. SewaIl, who are publishing a new
paper devoted to the interests of work
ingmen, have hit upon a striking name
for it. They call it "Out-of-a-Job," ;"
which is a concise way of saying that
it is particularly devoted to the unem-
plOyed and the remedy of their trOu-
bles. The paper is published at 1905 ST.
Lawrence avenue, and, as the proprie-
tors put it, it is an exponent of the
principles of the Whiting plan for the
relief of the workless. Further than
that it is to be a review of all plans for
helping the poor.
The whiting Plan is based on a ia
Dor exchange" system that Robert Ow-
en- operated with great success in Lon
don. There are now in operation in the
United States under the plan something
like 200 exchanges. A new one in Chi
cago, started in January, is under the
presidency of C. Tillman of 1905 ST.
Lawrence avenue. Another is in Har-
vey and a third in another suburb
These are for the easy interchange of
the products of labor by the unemploy-
ed. The members of the exchange
bring to it any article they may have
made, a boOtmaker his boots, a tailor
his clothes and a baker his breads, or
any superhuous article of their house
holds.
The exchange does not disdain sec
ond-hand articles that are serviceable,
and new and old are valued by COM
petent appraisers. Then for the artic-
les there is issued scrip of the exchange
TO their value. The scrip is good for
purchases from the exchange of other
commodities made by others and where
the exchanges have been successful it
is frequently accepted by merchants.
The Chicago exchange is said to en-
plOy considerable number of other
wise unemployed in their own homes at
their own trades

sEC'Y BARNES REPORT.
Official Record of the Horticultural
Society Being Distributed.

The report of the state horticultural
society, containing the official records
of the thirty-first annual meeting held
in Topeka last December, prepared by
Secretary William H. Barnes, has been
completed and is now being sent out
In the letter of transmitta1 to the gov
ernor the secretary says:
1.-The volume is Small-the least of all
the reports of state departments-y
we believe every one of its 100 pages
contains matter of practical utility to
the horticulturists of our state.
kansas is essentially a horticultural
state, and If our citizens would use TO
best advantage her resources, she would
soon become the garden among the
states. We have 80 millions of the five
leading varieties of fruit trees, and our
people consume on their tables annual
ly over Is million dollars worth of hor-
ticultural prOducts-more in value than
our annual yield of all the grains, eX-
cepting corn-and we should grow 80
per cent of it. We hope the time is
near when the table of every tiller of
the soil will be loaded, three times
day, at his pleasure, with all the hortl-
cultural luXurieS which our favored
climate and fruitful soil will produce,
and when canned and preserved fruits
and vegetables from outside the state
will not hold the most prominent place
in our groceries; and when our citizens
will demand Kansas products, and will
take no other until ours are exhausted.
'.MiSSOuri Iowa Minnesota Michigan
and Illinois kindly forward to US an
nually instructive reports of horticul-
ture in their various states of 500 pages
and upwards.I would remark that none
of our reports are stored away in the
cellars of the state capitol, the demand
exceeding the supply by at least 75 per
cent.
Il am sorry to state that insect and
fungus enemies are gaining ground in
our state and are discOuraging fruit
growing. The states are awakening to
the necessity of legislating against
these pests; and 1 believe it will be
beneficial to call the attention of our
next legislature to this matter, as we
are in great danger from these Destroy
erS.
Horticulture in Kansas will pay for
greater state encoura cement, and it is
regretted that our late legislature did
not encourage it to the full limit asked
for. We believe no state appropria-
tions bring better returns than those
given to horticulture
