COMING MEET AT ELM CITY PARK

New Haven Cycling Club Making
 Preparations for the Event-A Large
 List of Entries.
 Interest among local wheelmen and other lovers of sport is centered in the coming meet Of the New Haven Cy- cling club at Elm City Park, June H. Entry blanks are being eagerly sought for by those who have racing pro- clivities and especially is this the case among the local wheelmen, the out-of- town riders also making a big demand for the blanks. Among those who will be here to participate In the races are Dawson and Powell, the crack riders of Columbia college. They have signi- fled their intention of participating in the meet and as it now looks they will surely be here on that day. But the club has also some riders that are not to be overlooked; among whom are E. c. Hausman, George Collett and Rutz. Collett will endeavor to lower the half-mile amateur state record and will be paced by tandems. Hausman will no doubt also do some great riding that day. MT. Hubinger, the owner of the park, intends to have the track In first class condition for fast time and will have the grand stand put in good or der. Among the prizes are dia- monds for each event and the Mac Gowan Cycle company have kindly contributed a s60 bicycle for the occa- Sion This will be displayed in one of the show windows of Chapel street merchant.

Vided for the amusement of the pa-
 irons of the Hyperion tonight, when
 Roland Reed will present "A Man of
 Ideas" which has made an immense
 hit wherever it has been seen. The
 play is said to be the best medium MT,
 Reed has ever had.
 The story of the piece is highly
 amusing and entertaining and is con-
 stitued on a thoroughly legitimate
 basis. The comedy hinges on the at
 tempt of Fosco Wales to exploit troll
 ley road between the two towns for his
 own particular gain and reaches a most
 entertaining point in the second act,
 This takes place in a wood on some
 land which the widow Qsadore Rush)
 has bought, partly on speculation and
 partly to prevent the cynic rascal (Mr.
 Reed) from getting it. He wants it as a site for his power house and she wants it because all land about will
 rise in value when he gets his trolley line through but also because the pro- moter has been bribing aldermen for
 his franchise and even offers his daugh- ter's hand to the mayor to buy off the veto, The evolution of the plot is high ly interesting and with foresight and forethought the promoter executes a strategic move and proposes to unite forces by proposing to the widow. She leads him on and the act closes on his hope that he has won the widow. There is plenty of snap and go to the piece, funny situations and bright talk and MT. Reed is at his best.
 The characters are all well trained and are in capable hands. MT. Reed $ company, comprising beside Miss Rush are, Miss Maud White, Miss Helen
 Heating, Mrs. Mary Myers, Charles s. Abbe, Sheridan Tupper, Earle Brown, Julia M. Reed, L. P. Hicks, James Douglass and Owen Westford. The ad- vance sale of seats has been large. Prices, 25c, BOG, 75c and $1.

lawyer, now assistant United States
attorney for Kansas, $311 for getting
a pop out OF his Office in order that a
republican might have it.
Hepa1d Charley LObdell, the repub-
lican speaker of the house, $126 for
making trip to Topeka to appoint
an Investigating committee to look
into the alleged misconduct of some
pOpulists whose term of Office had
not yet expired, and Lobdell might
have just as easily appointed the
committee and mailed the list to the
governor at a cost of two cents.
He paid Syl Dixon $2lS for iunket-
ing over Kansas with an investi-
eating committee, and incidentally
for taking a Mckinley train load of
wheat to ST Louis.
He paid 9 Topeka republican
politician SLIT for services rendered
the Investigating committee In the
nature of pulling cOrks, etc.
Hepaid Otto Eckstein republican
lawyer of Wichita $297 for services
rendered the committee,
the service consisting of some recita-
lions from Skakespear entertaining
the committee, until the Topeka
politician got the cOrks pulled.
He paid Alexander Warner, the
distinguished financier of Baxter
Springs, who managed recently to
rob farmers of that community of
thousands OF dollars by the suspen-
sion OF his bank, 1922 for his services
on the Investigating committee.
He paid $711 to some 9TH district

ousting populists from Office and J.

ha was paid 1913 for the same pur-
pose.
Doesn't it look rather odd to see a
party with a record like this ex-
hausting all the inyectives in the
vocabulary, because governor Leedy

to assist in the enforcement of benefi-
ciaI laws.

How Leedy and Morrill, Used
Their Contingent Funds,

THE republican press of the state
has objected to the manner in which
Governor Leedy spent his contingent
fund, the Objectionable point being
the $4,000 paid David Martin and
David Overmeyer for their assistance
in the federal courts, and in the stock
yards, scrip and screen cases. 1t is
true that governor Leedy spent the
entire appropriation made, but it is
also true that governor Morrill, spent
his; the difference being that COVER
nor Leedy spent his to enforce the
law, while Morrill, spent his to unseat
pOpuiists whose terms had not ex-
pired in order that some republicans
might have their places. Morrill,
used So, 1863 from his contingent fund
to get ex-senator Rodgers, regent
of the University, out of Office in order
that j. r.. Buttons law partner might
have that place, a little $400 per
annum job. This together with 9th
er amounts spent in the same
manner, exhausted his fund and he
was compelled to ask the Legislature
for an appropriation of $4,000 to pay
the costs in the Rodgers case.
Morrill, paid $2,02S out of his con-
tingent fund to secure the removal
of senator Householder from the
state Board of Charities and had to
call upon the legislature again for a
deficiency appropriation OF $50.
1t will be seen from this showing
that the last republican administra-
ton thought it wise to spend about
SIS, 600 to secure the uneXpired portions
of the terms OF office of a few popu-
governor Eeedy for spending g, 900 to
secure the enforcement of the law S

and the mining industries. Cover
nor Morrill, paid out of his cOntin-
gent fund $50 to that distinguished
patriot who recently accepted the
position of postmaster at Newton in
order to prevent an old soldier from
receiving it, the Hon, Sam Peters,
for assisting in the attempt to. re-
move John Briedenthal from the
office of HanN Commissioner.
He paid 500 TO a prominent short
grass republican for his services in
defending Geo. Clark. present candi-
publican ticket, in the suit brought
against him By Mrs. Lease which
grew out OF her removal from the
State Board of Charities.
He paid W. A. s.. Bird, arepublican
lawyer of Topeka, $500 for the service
he rendered in removing captain
White, popuiist member of the
State Board of Charities in order
that some republican might have his
Job.

franchise grabber.
THE STOCK YARDS AND SCHOOL
BOOK Law.
The story of the stock yards and
school book law have been told in
detail and it is useless to repeat IT
here. The most powerful lobby that
ever attended a Kansas Legislature
was on hand to prevent the passage
OF these two important acts. The
cooperation of the Republican mi
nOrity in each house was assured
from the start and every effort was
made to Corrupt enough Populist
mem bere to make the Republican mi
nority a majority, but they failed ut
terly and the people OF Kansas today
are reaping the benefits of these
wholesome Populist measures
Observation-Disclosures.
A favOrite charge which is being
continually reiterated by the Repub-
hcan press is that the legislature was
extravaganza, that the legislative
halls were filled with a horde of I'M
necessary employees, and that public
money was recklessiy squandered.
The facts are shown by the state
auditors books. There record OF
the money drawn and the names OF
the persons who drew it can be found.
These records show that in 1895 the
Republican legislature had -335 en-
ployees, 204 of whom were on the
house payroll and 131 on that of the
senate. In 1897, with both houses
controlled by Populists, the house
payroll contained 112 names, and
the senate's SO, making a total OF 200,
which was 1S5 less than in 1895.
If the legislature of 1897 had lot
OF useless employees, what about the
Republican army of employees in
1895?
Now, as to the actual money paid
out at each session. In 1895, the
total payments OF legislative ex-
penses were $50, 229. AZ, while in 1897,
figures on legislative expenditures
are made it should be borne in mind
that the salary and mileage of mem
bers is fixed by constitutional enact
ment, and is therefore a matter over
which the members have no control.
If the amounts paid for this purpose
are deducted, the remainder will
show the amount expended over
which the legislature did have direct
control. No compilation of the
amounts drawn for salary and mile
age by members OF the 1897 legisla-
ture has yet been made, but in 1895
the amount drawn for this purpose
was $50, 1927. The number of mem
bers and of the district remain I'M
changed from year to year, so that
the salary and mileage account can
not vary much. 1t is reasonable to
assume that the 1895 figures are a
fair average. Deducting $50, 1927 from
$S6, 292-47 it appears that in 1895 $49,
965.17 was expended over which the
members had control. The deduc-
ton of the same amount from
$72,O29. 10 shows that in 1897 the
amount was $50, 701.S0
The 1895 Legislature Republican,,
which was in session 60 days, cost
$S32.75 per day, while the 1897 legis-
lature (Populist), which continued
for "a days, cost $557.S4 per day,
showing an actual saving of 1914 81
for each and every day of the session.
In the matter of daily expense, the
Populist cost was few cents less
than 81 where the Republicans spent
So.
