Law Of Moses for Kansas.

TOPEKA. Kan, December Sc. W
Walters, Populist, member of the Kan
sas House, declares that If an extra ses
sion of the Legislature is called he will
again seek to have the Ten Command
ments added to the laws of Kansas.
Walters is a well to- do farmer of forty.
residing in Labette county. Heis deeply
religious. In 1897 he became imbled
with the idea of having the affairs of the
State managed on the principles laic
down by Moses, and made his campaign
on that platform.
The people of his district laughed a,
his Bible theory, but elected him becaus,
his opponent was unpopular. Walter,
came to Topeka with his bill of ten sec
tions, each section Commandment, and
made strenuous efforts tn have the Legis
lature regard him seriously.
His bill was introduced and referred Z,
the Committee on Public Roads. Tni,
hurt Walters feelings, but he went t,
work with will to have the cimmitte,
give the measure favorable consideration
The committee never reported on the bill
aud Walters went home believing tn,
Legislature was past redemption.

The navy department announces a programme of warship construction calling for twenty-knot battleships and twenty-two-knot armored cruisers. The difficulty about the programme is that it does not apply to the three lately authorized battleships. The depart ment has been overwhelmed with criticism for making sixteen-knot de- signs for these ships. The naval board of construction does well in pre- pairing designs for fast battleships Bur there is hopeless gap between the plans for the Maine, Ohio and Missouri and the plans which the department now says it will ask congress to au- thorize.
