ELECTION CASE ARGUED.
Kansas City Attorneys Appear Before
Supreme Court Mt Jener-
son City.

JEFFERSON CITY. MO-, Nov @.-(Spe-
cial) In the supreme court en- banc to-
day the Kansas City election law case was
argued and submitted. Attorney General
Crow argued the case for the state and
Messrs. Dean and Small for the defendants.
The point at issue is whether the law
passed by the last general assembly re-
pealed the law of 1885 The state contends
that it did. while the other side contends
that 1t did not. Mr. Dean in his argu-
ment said that Governor Stephens, after
approving the law, violated It by appoint
ing man who was not eligible under its
provisions. 1t will probably be six weeks
before the court hands down a decision
in the case.

NO LAND EXEMPT.
Land Must Be I'm a School
District.

TOPEKA, Nov. a0-(Special) Superin-
tendent Clark of the Edwards county
schools has asked the attorney general for
an opinion as to whether any land in the
state outside of reservations can legally be
kept out of school districts. II seems that
there is a big strip of land in that county
owned by cattlemen that is not attached to
any school districts. The county superin-
ers are objecting. Several families live on
the land and the children go to the near
est school. The superintendent contends
that in as much as the people are getting
the benefit of the schools the property
should be taken in and the owners made to
pay a portion of the school tax The at
torney general holds that the superin-
tendent has the power to attach the land
to districts.

Direct Results

The new advertiser looks for direct

who generally gets them.
Only bargain advertising brings in
