EXTRA SESSION IN SMALL FAVOR
AMONG POPULISTs.
ONLY THE "NEEDY" ARE FOR IT
ATTEMPT AT DICTA-
TION IS RESENTED.
Boyle Sore Over One Item in the Bill
Lawyers Say the Measure Is
Full of Holes - Were
They Left Inten-
tiOnallyf

Topeka, Kas, Feb. 9.-(Special) Gov
ernor Leedy's special session flyer, put out
a few days ago, is being received just as
he wants it to be. Nobody OF importanca
fayors an extra session. A few Pop pap
suckers" with dull comprehension. are
backing the governor up. The scheme will
break through their skulls some of these
days. Leedy's letter to each member OF
the legislature has not yet been sent out.
The state printer has not printed it yet.
That was according to programme. The
letters may be sent out Saturday. Pos
sibly the governor will wait until Mon
day. Then he will wait awhile for re-
plies and if some fail to answer he VIII
keep things in waiting until he hears from
them. BY that time he hopes some Of the
first ones will kick out.
The attempt of the governor to dictate
to the legislature what 1t shall or shall
not do, recalls the famous letter which he
sent the supreme court judges last Win
ter. He boldly declared that he was the
supreme executive power of the state. -
and as such demanded that Tat court
advance the Snow-Hudson litigation on the
docket. He also told the supreme court
that he was of the opinion that it should
decide the case in favor of Snow. Thai
letter aroused the judges, and they not
only did not advance the case on the dock
ct. but when they got to it they decided
1t in favor of Hudson. The governor s
display of gall in that instance was tho
subject of comment throughout the entire
state. 1t has a parallel, however. in his
letter to be sent to the representatives
and senators in regard to proposed legiS-
lation on the railroad question. He again
calls attention to the fact of his "execu-
tive supremeness' and lays down the law
TO the legislature about as he did to the
supreme court.
There is grave danger that the member.
of the legislature will treat the matter about
the same way that the supreme court did.
They may scorn his dictatorship. The opin-
ion is quite prevalent among the Pop leg
islators that II Leedy cannot find enough
of his own business to attend to Little
should ship him to Port Arthur to buy
scme more town lots or send him on an
other trip to New York TO fix up fiscal
agency matters.
So far every Populst legislator Interview
ed has opposed an extra session. OF course
there will be several who will favor one.
Their earnings during the last legislature
have dwindled, and they feel that it will
be only right to lend the governor encour-
agement with view OF replenishing their
strong boxes.
Greeley. Jumper. the Pop senator from
winter on the stock yards deal. says he
favors special session on a certain condi-
road law and then adjourn within a week
ment.
1t is certain that II the. governor gets
the legislature together several other bills
will he acted upon before the railroad bill
Is passed. The metropolitan police law and
will be repealed. Then. II the governor
vetoes them. the legislature may fall tc

LEEDY EMBRACES SOCIALISM.
Acknowledges Himself Convert to
Eugene Debs' Schemes and
Theories.

Topeka, Kas., Feb. 9.-(Special0 Governor
Leedy sees the handwriting on the wall.
and, in order to keep in touch with great
element of his party. has abandoned his old
ideas about governmental affairs and come
straight out for socialism. Leedy never
was socialist He combatted the theories.
claimed they were visionary. and tried to
divert the attention of the Pops in other
directions. But he found that the theories
of socialism had taken too deep root. He.
therefore, did the next best thing, polit-
ically speaking. He jumped into the band
wagon. The recent speech of Dehs here
gave him the opportunity. He told G.. G.
Clemens that Debs had made it absolutely
clear to him that collective ownership was
the only salvation for this government.
Others had never presented the matter
before so he could see through it, but he
was satisfied now that socialism was the
only thing. Leedy's name will be presented
for membership in the local lodge of Social
Democracy at the next meeting. The gov
ernor wants the support Of the new social
list political organization which has sprung
up in Southeastern Kansas. and he believes
this Is the only way to get it. However,
others claim he is too late. They say the
new party will pick out some one older in
tho faith to carry the party banner.

HE IS HIS OWN PLATFORM.
Governor Esedy Ignores the Tenets of
the Party That Placed Him
in Power.

Governor Leedy is giving a splendid H.
lustration of how party platform may
say one thing and the man elected on It
may do another" said State Senator George
H. Lamb. of Woodson county, Kas.. at the
Blossom house last evening.
"If the Pops emphasized any one point
more than any other II was that the people
should rule. that all legislation affecting
the people should come from the people.
there should be no dangerous Capitalization
of power and no bossism. Governor Leedy
grew red in the face cursing bosses and
pleading for the people when he was on
the stump he continued.
Now look what he is doing to show
what the platform and those statements
meant. No sooner was he in the governors S

GRADE CROSSINGS MUST GO.
Work of AbolishinE Them in the
State of New York to De
Benun Soon.

Albany, N. Y, Feb. 9.-The work Of grad
ually abolishing the 5000 grade crossings in
the state will be inaugurated in a few
weeks by the state railroad commission.
This work will involve the expenditure Of
millions of dollars if all grade crossings
are changed, though it is anticipated when
gerous grade crossings will have been
placed either above or below grade. Ex-
pense of this work is to be borne 20 per
cent each by state and municipality. About
5000 grade crossings are unprotected by
either gates or fiagmen. The senate finance
committee to-day decided to report favor
ably on Senator Ellsworth's bill appropriat-
ing 100000 to pay the states share of ex-
pense of commencing the work. 1t is prob
able that five years will elapse before the
joint appropriation of $3.0O0.00O is attained
for this purpose. The amount to be appro-
priated by the present legislature means
work.

Do the People Desire to Get Rid Of
Department Stores?

UCpdl llllClIt SIOl %.
We find that question in our minds when
we hear some one arguing that Depart
ment Stores are injurious to the community
and country.
Wherein are they injurious? Do they
rob the people by eXacting exorbitant
prices? No one claims they do; but, on
the contrary, it is admittedly all that they
save the people great sums of money in the
low prices at which they sell. Do they mis-
treat the public by gross unfairness and by
dishonest business methodist No one can
justly claim anything of the kind.
Yesterday we bought ten carloads of
flour for spot cash, and to-day we be-
gin selling it for less money, by the 5O-lb
sack, than any merchant in Kansas City,
either wholesale or retail, can buy it for
at tile mills in any quantity. Yes, we will
sell it by the sack at less price than any
mill in this country can put it up for, at
the present price of wheat. Well save to
the people of Kansas City on this ten car
loads of Flour NOT A CENT LESS THAN
TWENTY-FIVE HUNDRED (s7.5oo) DOL
LARS. When it's all gone, the people will
have the flour they need, and $1,000 in
cash will remain in their pockets to buy
other necessaries of life. ~
Are the people angry with us because
we save them this handsome amount in
cash? Is it crime to help the washer
woman to live betters Is it against pub
lie interest to cause the dollar Of the car
penter or bricklayert to buy 81 80 or $500 in
life's needs? Are we wrong to mark an
article 81 because we can we'll afford it, if
single-line dealers are asking s1.25 or $3.50
for it? If we'd sell at their higher prices,
we are told, we'd not be molested OF
threatened with adverse legislation. PeO-
pie are not supposed to like trusts which
nut prices up and keep them up. We've
always had an idea that a store that could,
by almost sleepless energy, buy goods con-
stantly so as to keep prices down, that
that store would deserve the plauditS Of
mankind.
Are we right in our idea, or do people
really prefer that we'd raise our prices to
the high and respectable level of the
regular" stores of this city, Until futher
notice, we've concluded to keep on Smash
ing Pricesl
When the people conclude they have had
enough, they can vote to pass law to
stop it.
